Section 2

"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!"

The eunuch, as if granted a massive amnesty, scrambled and fled the Fourth Princes Mansion.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for showing your edge for the first time. You have obtained the Eastern Depot faction!]

[Reward: Grandmaster realm expert, Cao Zhengchun!]

The System's voice rang out once again.

Chapter 2: Eastern Depot's Cao Zhengchun! The Immune to All Poisons Body!

"Eastern Depot? Cao Zhengchun?"

Li Chengping was momentarily stunned, followed by great joy.

This is a good thing!

The Eastern Depot was a world-renowned secret service agency with immense power and numerous eyes and ears.

With the Eastern Depot, he could better control intelligence and understand the movements within the imperial court.

And Cao Zhengchun was a Grandmaster realm expert; with him around, his own safety would have much greater protection.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

A middle-aged man with a feminine face, wearing a python robe, appeared before Li Chengping and bowed.

He was indeed Cao Zhengchun.

"Rise."

Li Chengping nodded, very satisfied with Cao Zhengchun.

"Cao Zhengchun, go and investigate who is behind the push for this enfeoffment of kings."

Li Chengping commanded.

"This servant obeys!"

Cao Zhengchun took the order and departed.

"Your Highness, the night is late; it is time to rest."

Yan Fei walked to Li Chengping's side and spoke softly.

She gently unfastened Li Chengping's clothes, revealing his robust chest.

"Mm..."

Li Chengping nodded and grabbed Yan Fei's slender waist.

A beauty in his arms, soft jade and warm fragrance.

Li Chengping felt a burst of relaxation and delight.

Not bad, mm, these black stockings happen to come in handy right now.

...

A night of silence.

Early the next morning, Li Chengping woke up feeling refreshed.

Feeling the even more surging power within his body, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"This Sword Demon Template is truly powerful!"

His current cultivation had already reached the Peak of the Eighth Rank, only one step away from the Ninth Rank.

Furthermore, his Sword Intent was more condensed and stronger; one must know, only a single night had passed.

"Your Highness, Director Cao requests an audience."

Yan Fei walked in and said softly.

"Let him in."

Li Chengping said.

"This servant pays respects to Your Highness!"

Cao Zhengchun entered the room and bowed.

"How is the investigation going?"

Li Chengping asked.

"In response to Your Highness, it has been cleared up."

Cao Zhengchun said.

"This enfeoffment matter was pushed by the Crown Prince and the Second Prince working together."

"They were worried that if Your Highness remained in the capital, it would threaten their positions, so they tried every means to drive Your Highness out of the capital."

"Oh?"

Li Chengping raised an eyebrow.

"As expected, it's them."

He gave a cold laugh, already having a plan in mind.

"Besides them, who else is involved?"

Li Chengping asked.

"There is also..."

Cao Zhengchun hesitated for a moment before saying.

"There is also Her Highness the Princess Royal."

"The Princess Royal?"

Li Chengping was stunned.

"She participated too?"

He was somewhat surprised.

Although the Princess Royal was not his biological mother, she usually treated him quite well; he didn't expect her to be involved as well.

"Yes."

Cao Zhengchun said.

"Her Highness the Princess Royal has a close relationship with the Crown Prince, so she would naturally stand on his side."

"I see."

Li Chengping nodded.

He understood; the Princess Royal was paving the way for the Crown Prince.

"Anyone else?"

Li Chengping asked.

"There are also some court ministers involved."

Cao Zhengchun said.

"They are all henchmen of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince."

"Good, I understand."

Li Chengping said.

"Continue to monitor them. If there is any movement, report to me immediately."

"This servant obeys!"

Cao Zhengchun took the order and left.

"Your Highness, what do you plan to do?"

Yan Fei asked.

"What to do?"

Li Chengping sneered.

"Since they want to drive me out of the capital, then I will do as they wish."

"However, if they think they can kick me out of the game like this, they are dead wrong."

"I will let them know what it means to be easy to invite a god but hard to send one away!"

"This servant understands."

Cao Zhengchun bowed in response, a hard-to-detect glint flashing in the depths of his eyes.

He understood that this Highness was by no means as simple as he appeared on the surface.

"Your Highness, since they are being unjust, we don't need to be polite either."

Yan Fei's beautiful eyes rippled, her voice carrying a trace of coldness.

The corner of Li Chengping's mouth curled up, revealing a playful smile.

"Naturally, the game has only just begun."

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in today. You have obtained the Immune to All Poisons Body!]

[Reward: Van Hohenheim's Alchemy!]

The System's voice rang out again, making Li Chengping's heart leap with joy.

This reward came just at the right time!

With the Immune to All Poisons Body, he would no longer have to worry about being poisoned or assassinated.

And Van Hohenheim's Alchemy was an even more unexpected surprise; this was a major trump card!

A flash of excitement crossed Li Chengping's eyes; he could not wait to test the power of this alchemy.
