That Is Not My Sister But Bibi Dong?!

Inwardly, he cursed to himself, thinking this damned Crown Prince is still alive, which might make things more difficult for His Excellency, Qian Gu.

However, he was just a Soul King, while beside Xue Qinghe, there was clearly a Title Douluo bodyguard.

In a battle, he wouldn't stand a chance.

After thinking it over, Lu Fei's expression grew resolute as he stepped forward:

"Your Highness, there are currently three thousand cavalrymen surrounding us, ensuring your safety."

"Qian Gu Nanfeng's infantry corps is expected to arrive at East Sea City tomorrow."

"I humbly request Your Highness to take temporary refuge in East Sea City. The city walls are high and sturdy, and combined with the three thousand cavalry, we can hold out until reinforcements from neighboring provinces arrive."

Hearing what Lu Fei said, Ye Tian found it amusing.

Cavalrymen are usually the elite of any army.

If he were Qian Gu Nanfeng, he would undoubtedly have planted his own men among such elite forces.

So, after seizing power, he could have the best control over the cavalry.

Thus, he didn't trust Lu Fei at all.

Furthermore, Lu Fei's recent words only raised his suspicions.

How precious is the Crown Prince's status?

If Lu Fei were truly loyal, he would surely take him straight to another province, rather than staying in East Sea City, like a fish in a barrel.

Ye Tian sighed softly, "General Lu Fei, you may not know this, but I have sustained severe internal injuries and cannot endure further travel."

Staying in the villa was the safest option, even if Qian Dao Liu were here, it might not be easy to kill him.

So Ye Tian didn't want to go anywhere.

Upon hearing that Ye Tian was gravely injured, Lu Fei was overjoyed.

Although he had failed to deceive the Crown Prince into going to East Sea City for capture, keeping him confined in the villa would make it even easier to guard him.

Immediately, he bowed and said, "In that case, my cavalrymen should protect Your Highness closely, never leaving your side."

"Hmm, I'll leave it to General Lu Fei then," Ye Tian nodded slightly, his expression showing no hint of emotion.

Lu Fei's eyes shifted as he spoke again: "Your Highness, there are surely many deceived individuals in Qian Gu Nanfeng's ranks. If we can win them over, Qian Gu Nanfeng will soon find himself isolated."

Going to send a message? Ye Tian almost laughed but held it in. Such a loyal fellow.

Feigning difficulty, he said, "Most of my main followers have perished. Who could handle such an important task?"

With righteous fervor, Lu Fei patted his chest, "This is a task I shall not shirk!"

"Good! General Lu Fei is truly a man of loyalty and righteousness!"

Ye Tian clapped his hands in approval, greatly pleased with Lu Fei's commitment.

Inwardly, though, he mocked, thinking once Qian Gu Nanfeng dares to come, the rebellion will pretty much be over.

"Time is of the essence, General Lu Fei, make haste," Ye Tian urged.

Hearing this, Lu Fei found it quite laughable.

This Xue Qinghe, is he still completely clueless?

Urging me to leave, fine, I'll listen to you one last time, and soon send you to the afterlife!

On the surface, Lu Fei smiled cheerfully, not forgetting to salute Ye Tian before mounting his horse and riding off.

Qian Renxue, who had been silently listening to the conversation, was a bit puzzled:

"Ye Tian, letting General Lu Fei infiltrate Qian Gu Nanfeng's side to win over other officials seems a bit too risky."

Ye Tian smiled faintly and explained to Qian Renxue:

"That Lu Fei is actually one of Qian Gu Nanfeng's men."

"What!" Qian Renxue was utterly shocked at this revelation.

Ye Tian could deduce that Lu Fei was Qian Gu Nanfeng's man from such a brief conversation?

If he wasn't just guessing, then his insight was truly remarkable!

Even She Long showed a slight surprise at Ye Tian's words.

"How did you figure out that Lu Fei was working for Qian Gu Nanfeng?"

He had actually harbored a tiny suspicion, thinking Lu Fei's expressions seemed overly rehearsed, almost like he was faking it.

Ye Tian explained, "With the cavalry's strength, they could easily take us away from this dangerous place in East Sea ."

"But clearly, Lu Fei had no intention of doing so."

Hearing this, She Long nodded in agreement.

It seemed Lu Fei just wanted to stall them until Qian Gu Nanfeng arrived.

Thinking about this, worry began to creep into his heart.

"According to the intelligence you provided earlier, there's a good chance that Qian Gu Nanfeng is an evil spirit master."

"You know, a Title Douluo-level evil spirit master could be as powerful as a Super Douluo."

"With our current strength, it's going to be tough to deal with him."

She Long sighed, his expression pained.

But the worry in his heart wasn't as deep as his face suggested.

After all, he knew the Pope herself was inside the villa.

Bibi Dong had become a Super Douluo over a decade ago, and with her twin martial souls, her strength was unfathomable.

A mere evil spirit master wouldn't be a threat at all.

"The cart will find a way around the hill; don't worry, I won't put everyone in danger."

Ye Tian's expression was calm.

Since Qian Gu Nanfeng was coming, this would be a perfect opportunity to test his secret weapon.

After all, since developing the rocket launcher, he hadn't yet used it against a Super Douluo.

Given the strict conditions—facing a Super Douluo who also had to be his enemy—it was difficult to find a suitable target.

Now that one was presenting himself, how could he pass up the chance?

It seemed Qian Gu Nanfeng was about to become the first Title Douluo in Douluo Continent history to be killed by a rocket launcher.

Hearing Ye Tian's confident words, She Long couldn't help but laugh.

This kid was too arrogant!

He wasn't even a spirit master, yet he dared to claim he could deal with a Super Douluo.

Truly, the ignorant fear nothing.

As a Title Douluo himself, She Long deeply understood just how terrifying a Super Douluo could be!

Sitting in a wheelchair, Qian Renxue, too, felt some skepticism about Ye Tian's words.

A Super Douluo? Even within the Spirit Hall, they were as rare as phoenix feathers.

How could such a being be easy to handle?

At that moment, Hu Liena, wearing an apron, emerged from the villa.

She approached Ye Tian and wrapped her arms around his shoulder, saying, "The soldiers have left?"

"Mm." Ye Tian nodded.

"Great, Teacher and I have finished preparing the meal. Everyone, come and eat," Hu Liena suggested.

She Long jokingly warned, "Nana, don't only think about food. Soon, there might be a Super Douluo showing up here."

"With Brother Ye Tian here, I'm not afraid," Hu Liena responded confidently.

Back on Golden Turtle Island, even when Black Spear Douluo threatened Ye Tian, he was easily killed. So what could Qian Gu Nanfeng possibly do?

Her words made She Long and Qian Renxue feel like they'd just been force-fed a dose of "puppy love."

Qian Renxue grumbled inwardly, thinking, "Women in love really lose their heads."

They'd only been together for a few days, and already she was saying ridiculous things in favor of Ye Tian, even when it came to matters of power.

Secretly, Qian Renxue made up her mind: she must never fall in love.
