Leveling System of Acquiring Skill From Books

Ye Chen and Third Prince were at loggerheads. He had even broken through two major difficulties of the Holy Blade Kingdom's External Affairs Emissaries, which clearly meant that he wasn't Third Prince's man.    

If this was an act, then it would be used as proof of allegiance.    

The price that Third Prince had paid was too great.    

Not only was Third Prince humiliated in front of everyone, he even lost the face of the Holy Blade Kingdom as a dowry. Obviously, the loss outweighed the gain.    

Could it be that he was First Prince's man?    

He should be right.    

This time, many of Third Prince's subordinates were glaring at Ye Chen, wishing they could kill him right away.    

Sword Emperor did not feel anything and did not interrupt. Third Prince had been too arrogant recently, so he should teach him a lesson.    

Ye Chen did not care about the gazes of the crowd at all, and said indifferently, "What is the third stage? Let's start quickly."    

"We need to prepare for the third stage. It will only start tomorrow."    

Huyan was prepared to delay for a night. Firstly, he needed to prepare for the third stage. Secondly, he felt that Ye Chen was a little tricky, and he wanted to finish Ye Chen off at night.    

"Alright, then everyone can leave now."    

After that, Sword Emperor said to the crowd, "Minister in Charge of Book Weih, follow me to the Imperial Reading Room. The rest of you, withdraw from the court."    

Everyone left, and Ye Chen was brought to a private courtyard.    

The environment here was elegant, the mountains and rivers were high. It was not the Imperial Reading Room, but the backyard.    

Are you sure this is a place to discuss matters?    

This was clearly a place for romance.    

Could it be that Sword Emperor is fascinated by my elegance and wants to do something to me?    

The more Ye Chen thought about it, the more likely it was possible. His footsteps slowed down.    

The old eunuch who was following behind Ye Chen asked curiously, "Minister in Charge of Book Weih, why aren't you leaving?"    

Ye Chen looked left and right, and said with suspicion, "I heard that you have been by Sword Emperor's side for the longest time, right?"    

The old eunuch smiled and said, "Of course. When His Majesty was very young, I was by his side. Calculating it, it should have been more than three hundred years."    

Ye Chen nodded.    

"Then do you know what kind of bad habits Sword Emperor usually has? For example, he often summons men into his room?"    

"Minister in Charge of Book Weih, what are you thinking about? His Majesty Sword Emperor has a lot of things to do every day. Why would he often summon men into his room?"    

Ye Chen smiled awkwardly. It seemed like he had been thinking too much.    

Sword Emperor came to Zheng Zhong's pavilion in the garden. He did not have any extra small talk and said lightly, "You are just a Rank 9 Minister in Charge of Book. Why do you want to participate in the princess's matter? Could it be that you know the princess?"    

"That's right. I know the princess."    

" You are the one who helped the princess escape, right? "    

Sword Emperor continued, "The princess's marriage is a national affair, so don't get involved. Your mission is to pass the checkpoint tomorrow."    

"What do you mean by letting me not get involved? Your Majesty, you clearly promised me that you wouldn't marry the princess to someone else. Are you going to break your promise?" Ye Chen's eyes gradually became cold.    

"You still have the nerve to say that? You asked all of the officials to challenge the second stage. Even though everyone won, it was not a fair fight. What's the point of one hundred people passing the first stage? " Sword Emperor's voice was filled with anger.    

"You know what I mean. Your Majesty, you're saying this because you don't want to admit it?"    

"Who can testify?"    

Sword Emperor smiled sinisterly and pretended to be innocent.    

Ye Chen felt that he had been played.    

It was as if he had been sold and was counting money for someone else.    

How dare you fool me? Even if you are the son of the Sword Kingdom, I will make you pay the price.    

Ye Chen didn't say anything. Instead, he stood in the same spot with an expressionless face.    

This made Sword Emperor a little surprised. He thought that Ye Chen would go crazy, and then he would take the opportunity to take Ye Chen down and exchange his life for tomorrow's challenge.    

But Ye Chen's inaction made him feel that he had miscalculated.    

Ye Chen was even more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.    

A person like Ye Chen who knew how to endure patiently could unleash a tremendous amount of power.    

Sword Emperor furrowed his brows and knocked on the table with his fingers.    

Finally, after a long while.    

"You can stay in the Palace tonight. You will be killed outside."    

"Alright, no problem."    

"Zhuo, arrange for Wei Xiaobao to collapse."    

"Yes."    

After that, Ye Chen was brought to a courtyard. This place was remote, but the environment was not bad.    

Ye Chen looked at the tall buildings not far away and asked curiously, "May I ask where the harem is?"    

The old eunuch shook his head. "I cannot say."    

"How about this?"    

Ye Chen took out millions of crystals and sprinkled them on the ground. This immediately attracted the old eunuch's attention.    

"Minister in Charge of Book Weih, you dropped the crystals. I will help you pick them up."    

"These are not mine. These are yours, right?"    

"Yes, I just remembered that these are my crystals. Oh right, you just asked where the harem is, right? Look in the southwest direction. That red building is the center of the harem, and it is also the place where the empress dowager stays. "    

" Then where is the empress? "    

"[Next to it]"    

" Then where is Princess Yun? "    

"She's at the house in the southeast corner," said Wang Yao.    

Ye Chen frowned.    

Why did everyone else live in the house in the southwest while Nie Yiyun lived in the house in the southeast?    

Ye Chen lived in the southwest corner, which was close to the harem, but he was 100,000 feet away from Nie Yiyun's bedroom.    

"Thank you for your hard work."    

"The palace is heavily guarded. Only the defense is slightly weaker at dawn."    

The old eunuch said a few words before leaving.    

Ye Chen looked at his back and felt disdain in his heart.    

His acting was too clumsy.    

He didn't tell the truth.    

Ye Chen remembered asking Nie Yiyun personally. She said that her chambers were very remote, in the southwest corner of the harem.    

The old eunuch revealing the information to Ye Chen was completely giving Ye Chen a psychological hint, letting Ye Chen relax his investigation of the surroundings.    

The most dangerous place was the safest place.    

If Ye Chen really did as the old eunuch said, there would definitely be a trap waiting for him when he went to the southeast corner in the morning.    

At that time, if Ye Chen acted casually, he would be punished.    

Of course, this didn't mean that the person who told the old eunuch to reveal the information was Sword Emperor.    

Perhaps it was Third Prince, or perhaps it was First Prince.    

In any case, none of these people were good people. At least that was what Ye Chen thought.    

"Then just wait and see."    

After returning to his room, Ye Chen lit the candle and took out a fake person from the storage ring. In fact, this was a plastic model from Earth.    

The model's shadow was reflected on the window in the candlelight. It was exceptionally clear.    

Although this method was very fake. There was a feeling of doing it intentionally, but sometimes it had a miraculous effect.    

As for Ye Chen, he hid in the dark and leaked out the Divine Origin, trying his best to find Nie Yiyun's figure.    

Suddenly, Ye Chen's eyes lit up.    

He had actually found Nie Yiyun so easily.    

At this moment, she was sitting in front of the bed with a worried look on her face.    

She was holding a pass for the imperial examination in her hand. This pass was bought by Ye Chen for ten million crystals.    

Logically speaking, it should have lost its value a long time ago. She did not expect that she would still have it in her hand.    

After finding her, Ye Chen was no longer in a hurry. Instead, he quietly waited for the sky to turn dark.
