Chapter 228: Chief, What Are You Doing?
"Yes, I obey your command!" The guardian responded respectfully, his tone still full of deep respect for the shadow.
The black shadow nodded slightly to show his satisfaction.
Then he said, "Then you can go down and rest first. Make good use of this time to practice. I will take care of this place for the time being, don't worry."
Upon hearing this, the guardian showed gratitude on his face and bowed quickly.
He said with unusual respect, "Thank you for your concern, Chief! I will definitely live up to your expectations and work hard to improve my cultivation."
After saying that, he turned and left with light and quick steps.
The shadow watched the guardian leave the room until his figure completely disappeared from sight.
The black shadow immediately took action and began to search for Gou Chunmei's blood.
I saw rows of exquisite containers placed in front of me, each containing more than a hundred portions of essence and blood.
Each drop of essence and blood corresponds to a key list that has not yet been activated.
The shadow was concentrating on flipping through the containers one by one, carefully searching for his target.
Suddenly, a voice exploded in my ears without any warning: "Chief, what are you doing?"
The black shadow was startled by the sudden sound and his body trembled involuntarily.
But after all, he was a veteran of the battlefield and had strong psychological qualities. He quickly calmed down and looked back suddenly.
It turned out that the guardian who had just left had returned at some point and was now looking at him in astonishment.
The black shadow thought to himself that something was wrong and his face instantly became extremely gloomy.
He shouted sternly, "What? Do I need to report to you for everything I do?"
The guardian obviously did not expect the black shadow to be so angry, and his face turned pale with fright.
He waved his hands nervously, bowed his head and said, "I dare not! I just came here to pick up something. I have no intention of offending you. Please calm down, Chief!"
"Okay, don't be nervous. I've been away for many days and haven't returned. I came back this time just to check on your work situation during this period. If I find any problems, I will call you." The black shadow waved his hand casually.
The guardian, as if he had been pardoned, quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, I obey your command. I will take my leave now!"
After saying that, he turned and hurried out the door.
However, just as he reached the door, he suddenly seemed to remember something important and raised his hand to pat his head a few times.
He muttered, "Oh my! Look at my poor memory! I actually forgot about getting the technique again!"
The guardian stood at the door and began to pace back and forth anxiously, glancing into the room from time to time.
At this time, the door of the room was not closed, and the leader was concentrating on checking the neatly arranged blood samples one by one.
He knew very well that he must not rush in and disturb the leader's work at this moment.
If you accidentally interrupt his inspection and cause the jade tube to fall and break, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, the guardian gritted his teeth and finally decided to leave this place for the time being.
After the leader has finished his inspection, he would find a suitable time to come in and retrieve his own skills to continue practicing.
Just as the guardian turned to leave, the dark shadow who had been facing the door noticed his departure keenly.
After making sure that the guardian had gone far away, the black shadow immediately sped up the search for the jade tube in his hand.
After a tense and busy search, he finally succeeded in finding a jade tube marked with three big characters "Gou Chunmei".
An imperceptible look of joy flashed across the black shadow's face. He quickly put it in his arms, and then deftly put the other jade tube that had been prepared in advance back to its original place.
After completing this series of actions, the black shadow felt as if a huge stone had fallen from his heart, and he let out a long sigh.
At almost the same moment, Concubine Yin, who was far away on the other side, had already arrived at the gate of the Third Prince's residence...
The third prince, Zhao Haoli, hurriedly stood up to greet him, a hint of doubt appearing on his face.
He asked, "Mother, why are you here so suddenly?"
Concubine Yin walked into the hall with graceful steps, and then sat steadily on the main seat.
She looked around before looking at Zhao Haoli and asked casually, "Li'er, is your uncle here today?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Haoli quickly bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, the Emperor's uncle did come this morning. He even took me to practice swordsmanship!"
After saying this, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he even gestured seriously, obviously wanting to get praise from his mother.
After hearing what Zhao Haoli said, Concubine Yin nodded with satisfaction.
Her gaze fell lovingly on Zhao Haoli, and she said softly, "My son Li is undoubtedly outstanding. However, I, your mother, have come this time to inquire about your academic progress with your uncle. Could you please send someone to ask your uncle to come here and ask him?"
Zhao Haoli was slightly stunned and looked hesitant.
After hesitating for a moment, he spoke, "Mother, are you still planning to check my homework like before? But... it's already getting late. Do you really want to call the emperor's uncle over?"
Yang Guifei chuckled and nodded, then said to Zhao Haoli with a smile, "Li'er, your mother has been so busy lately that it's been quite some time since I last asked your uncle about your studies."
Zhao Haoli nodded: "Yes, mother hasn't come to see the child for several days!"
"Yes, I happen to be free today, so I have to see him no matter what, because in my heart, anything related to Li'er is a top priority!" Concubine Yin still smiled gently.
"Thank you, mother. You have always been extremely important in my heart!" Zhao Haoli was ecstatic when he heard this.
With a bright smile on his face, he said, "Then please wait here for a while, mother. I will send a servant to summon the emperor's uncle."
At this moment, the lights in Prince Yu's mansion were bright.
Prince Yu Zhao Yucheng was sitting together with the princess and two concubines enjoying dinner.
However, Prince Yu didn't seem to be in a very good mood in recent days.
During this period, whenever he went to the Third Prince's place, he was never able to see Concubine Yin as he wished.
Is it that Concubine Yin is deliberately avoiding him, or is there some other hidden secret?
This question was like a heavy rock pressing on Zhao Yucheng's heart, leaving him puzzled.
At this moment, Zhao Yucheng was sitting at the dining table with a frown on his face, thinking hard, completely lacking his usual elegance.
The three women sitting next to him were silent as a mouse, not daring to make a sound.
They ate their meal carefully, fearing that they might accidentally upset the prince who was in a bad mood.
But as the saying goes, what you fear will come to you. The more cautious you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes.
First, the chopsticks in the princess's hand accidentally slipped to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Immediately afterwards, the two concubines accidentally dropped the dishes onto the table while picking them up.
