Chapter 788: Secret Plot

After leaving the Ice Cave, Zi Yan quickly walked towards the back mountain.

When he arrived at the edge of the valley, Zi Yan suddenly started to scream in a low voice: "Xiaoyu, come out."

As soon as Zi Yan's words fell, a woman wearing the costume of a disciple of the Mingyue Palace quickly jumped out of secret. She was one of the female disciples sent by the Lord of the Mingyue Palace to protect Zi Yan, and she was also a partner who had played with Zi Yan since she was a child, and had a very good relationship with Zi Yan.

"Miss, what's the matter?" Wang Xiaoyu, who had a pretty appearance, stood in front of Zi Yan, stared at her and asked in confusion.

"Xiaoyu, let's go and talk to each other." After that, Zi Yan took Wang Xiaoyu's hand intimately and walked under an ancient tree next to her.

Pulling away the towering branches and leaves, Zi Yan pulled Wang Xiaoyu into the bottom of the tree, then casually emitted a ray of mysterious energy and arranged a lilac energy defense cover to prevent the conversation between the two from being heard by outsiders.

Seeing Zi Yan making it so mysterious, Wang Xiaoyu immediately asked in confusion: "Miss, has something happened to you?"

Zi Yan shook her head when she heard this, and said slowly with a serious expression: "No, I'm here to come to you, just want to ask you to do a favor, and you must promise me that I will keep this secret for me and not let the third person know. Even my mother is not allowed to tell her, can you do it?"

"This... Miss, please tell me first, what's going on?" Wang Xiaoyu replied with some embarrassment. She was an orphan who was adopted by the Mingyue Palace Master since childhood. She had a deep affection for the Mingyue Palace Master. She had already treated the Palace Master as her mother. She felt really uncomfortable if she wanted to hide it from the Palace Master.

"No, I want you to promise me that you must not tell others about this matter, you swear." Zi Yan immediately glared at her and said unhappily.

"Miss..." Wang Xiaoyu's face looked bitter, still hesitant.

"Xiaoyu, don't worry, this matter will never hurt my mother, it's just that I need your help. And once this matter is successful, it will definitely be a great joy for me. Xiaoyu, I grew up with you and I, like my sisters, how did I treat you? You know, don't you even help me with this?" Zi Yan's face slowed down slightly, and she was very serious and tempted, launching an emotional offensive against Wang Xiaoyu.

"Is it really not going to hurt the palace master?" Wang Xiaoyu asked in half belief and half doubt.

"Silly girl, the palace master is my mother. How could I do something that hurts her? Just give me ten thousand thoughts. This matter has nothing to do with my mother. I don't want others to know that I don't want my plan to make mistakes. How about it? Now you can agree to me?" Zi Yan said with a smile.

"Well, if this is the case, I can promise you, Miss, I swear that if this matter has nothing to do with the palace master, I will definitely keep the secret for you and never let the third party know. If there is any violation, I will let thousands of arrows pierce my heart and will not die well." Wang Xiaoyu immediately made a vow with confidence.

"Haha, okay, Xiaoyu, you are really my good sister. Put your head over and I tell you, tonight... you just need to do what I said." Zi Yan quickly said her thoughts.

"Ah? Miss, when did you hide a man? And you even asked me to do this, wouldn't this cause you a big loss?" Wang Xiaoyu shook her head vigorously after hearing Zi Yan's words: "Miss, I can't help you with this, because doing this will completely harm you."

"Xiaoyu, I have a purpose of doing this. How could you help me harm me? Good Xiaoyu, just help me this time. As long as you help me, I beg my mother to accept you as my goddaughter in the future. How about it?" Zi Yan began to tempt.

Wang Xiaoyu was really moved when she heard this. She always wanted to worship the palace master as her godmother, but unfortunately she didn't dare to say it out loud, for fear that the palace master would refuse. Only Zi Yan knew about this matter. Now that Zi Yan proposed this condition, how could Wang Xiaoyu not be moved?

"Miss, this will really not harm you?" Wang Xiaoyu asked hesitantly.

"Of course it's not that you hurt me. You silly girl, I'm such a big man. I know very well what to do and what not to do. If this thing will hurt me, do you think I'm so stupid that I'll let you do it?" Zi Yan said with a wry smile.

"That's OK, Miss, I will help you this time. I hope that after your affairs are successful, I will talk to the palace master about me." Wang Xiaoyu thought for a moment and finally nodded.

"Okay, this matter is for me. Once my affairs are successful, I will immediately ask my mother to accept you as her goddaughter. Then we will be real sisters." Zi Yan smiled and patted Wang Xiaoyu on the shoulder.

"Well, then I'll thank you Miss first." Wang Xiaoyu also smiled very happily. If the palace master could really be accepted as his goddaughter, she would be able to enjoy the long-lost maternal love.

"Okay, Xiaoyu, I have to go back. Just do what I said tonight. Remember, don't make any mistakes, otherwise I won't spare you." Zi Yan's expression suddenly became extremely serious, and she reminded her again.

"Well, I know, Miss, go, I will continue to guard outside the valley." Wang Xiaoyu nodded.

Zi Yan then pulled Wang Xiaoyu out of the big tree with confidence. When Wang Xiaoyu disappeared into the darkness beside her, she walked towards the valley with a smile on her face.

Pushing open the wooden door and entering the courtyard, Zi Yan went straight to the room where Li Tianyu lived, and raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Here you come." Li Tianyu's voice came from the room, and soon the door opened from the inside.

"Miss Zi Yan, how are you?" Li Tianyu asked anxiously.

"This matter is a bit complicated, let's talk about it later when we go in." Zi Yan walked into the room with a smile, closed the door casually, then picked up the teacup on the table, and poured Li Tianyu a cup of tea.

"Brother Hu, please have tea." Zi Yan smiled and handed it to Li Tianyu's tea cup.

Li Tianyu took the teacup, put it on the table, stared at Zi Yan and said, "Miss Zi Yan, I'm not thirsty, you should tell me quickly, how is the matter going? Is your mother in the Ice Cave?"

"Brother Hu, you'd better ask me Zi Yan or Yan'er to do it. I just went to the Hanbing Cave, but I found that my mother was practicing in the cave. Of course, the temperature in the cave was too low. I was standing outside and using my divine thoughts to detect the breath of my mother." Zi Yan said with a smile.

"Oh, what should I do?" Li Tianyu sighed disappointed when he heard this.

"Brother Hu, don't worry, there must be a chance. My mother is sometimes busy dealing with the affairs of the sect. That's when we go to the Ice Cave to get the Qianjin Grass." Zi Yan quickly smiled and comforted her.

"Yeah, I hope this will happen." Li Tianyu nodded and stopped talking.

"Brother Hu, I'm going back to rest, so you can have a good rest too." Seeing that Li Tianyu didn't want to speak, Zi Yan quit the room, went back to her room, closed the door, and began to practice cross-legged on the bed.

At dinner time, Zi Yan made a few side dishes and brought them to Li Tianyu. Li Tianyu just took a few bites casually and had no appetite. He was worried about Xiao Yu's affairs, so he didn't want to talk to Zi Yan anymore.

Zi Yan stayed in Li Tianyu's room for a while, feeling a little bored, so she packed up her dishes and left Li Tianyu's room.

Time flies, and it is almost twelve o'clock in the blink of an eye. Li Tianyu was sitting cross-legged on the bed and practicing. Suddenly, the divine thoughts from outside sensed a black shadow appeared sneakily outside the yard. The black shadow slowly pushed open the wooden door and carefully entered the courtyard.

Li Tianyu's divine consciousness clearly "sees" that the black shadow was petite, but his whole body was covered in a black robe, and a black cloth was covered on his face, leaving only a pair of eyes outside.

Li Tianyu continued to sit cross-legged on the bed, closing his eyes, but his mind kept locking the man in black with vague thoughts. He wanted to see what the man in black wanted to do when he came late at night.

The man in black slowly walked to the door of Zi Yan's room beside him, quickly took out a sharp knife from the storage ring, and emitted a faint white light in the darkness.

The man in black walked to the window carefully and pushed the window open a slight gap. Then he waved his hand and threw the knife in his hand quickly into the room.

"Ah." At this moment, a cry of pain came from the room, and then a woman shouted loudly: "Help."

"No, Zi Yan is injured." Hearing the sound, Li Tianyu jumped up from the bed and rushed out of the room like lightning. The next moment, he had already arrived at the woman by the window and reached out to pinch her neck.

This man in black is only in the late stage of Queen Wu. At Li Tianyu's speed, he naturally has no power to resist.

Just as Li Tianyu was about to interrogate the origin of the man in black, a white figure rushed out of Zi Yan's room and hit the heart of the man in black with a palm. A trace of shock and unwillingness flashed in the eyes of the man in black. The man in black tilted his head and had no time to wail, so he died of a life of death.

Li Tianyu looked at her and saw Zi Yan wearing only a thin gauze, standing in front of her, and there were slight water columns dripping on her body. A bright knife was inserted in her right arm, and blood kept sliding down her right arm, dyeing the white gauze in the red sleeves.

"Zi Yan, are you okay?" Li Tianyu threw the body of the man in black in his hand to the ground and asked with concern.

"Brother Hu, thank you for coming to save me in time, I..." Before he finished speaking, Zi Yan suddenly tilted her body and fell heavily in Li Tianyu's arms.

Li Tianyu was immediately anxious, and his divine thoughts swept across Zi Yan's body and found that she had been infected with a very powerful poison. At this time, the poisonous attack broke out and fainted.
