Chapter 655: Mind Game with People as Chess Pieces!

nWang Shan's strength was only at Qi Condensation Stage, and it was actually attained by consuming a lot of resources and pills which made the foundation of his cultivation seem vain.

nWith that, Wang Shan surely could not resist Tang Li Xue's Mystic Whisper and instantly fell under her control so easily.

n

"Yes, Miss Tang!

" Wang Shan replied with a blank look on his face.

nWang Shan led Tang Li Xue to ride on the luxurious carriage. They hastily went out from the Wang Shan father's manor and headed straight to Imperial Palace too.

nTo be honest, Tang Li Xue actually had two options she could do at this moment.

nThe first option, she could just head to the Imperial City's gate right now and patiently wait there until those two foxes in the Imperial Palace successfully turned off the sealing protection formation.

nAfter that, she could immediately take that chance to be the first one to break out of the Imperial City before anyone else.

nBut Tang Li Xue did not believe that the reckless plan of those two foxes would go that smoothly, thus she decided to take the second option instead.

nShe chose to head toward the Imperial Palace and look at the situation there first.

nEven if the plan of those two foxes failed, the situation in the Imperial Palace would become very messy and chaotic.

nTang Li Xue planned to wait for a chance in the middle of the chaotic situation to find the formation core and find the right time to turn off the sealing protection formation!

nOf course, if the reckless plan of those two foxes really had succeeded, then Tang Li Xue would be a few steps behind them by heading to the Imperial Palace.

nIt also means Li Xue would definitely lose her chance to win this treasure game.

nYes, by heading to the Imperial Palace, it meant Tang Li Xue was gambling that the reckless plan of those two foxes would fail.

nWhen Tang Li Xue was thinking deeply, their luxurious carriage arrived at the huge grand gates of the Imperial Palace.

nIt only took fifteen minutes or so for Wang Shan's luxurious carriage to reach the Imperial Palace because the location of the Imperial Palace and Wang Tian's Manor was not that far. Both of them were located at the center of Imperial City.

nIn front of the Imperial Palace's double grand gates, there were already more than fifty royal guards and imperial soldiers guarding.

n

"Stop~!

" One of the royal guards shouted at their luxurious carriage.

nWang Shan instantly fell irritated when a mere royal guard dared to stop his luxurious carriage.

nThere was the 'Wang' logo on every Wang Family's carriage, and no one should dare to stop their carriage at the normal times.

nUnfortunately, they were on high alert period, so the royal guards and imperial soldiers could only dutifully do their tasks according to their higher-up's instructions.

nWhen several royal guards surrounded their luxurious carriage, Wang Shan immediately stuck his head out from the window and shouted angrily:

"How dare you block Wang Family's carriage?! Go away~! Open the gates so I can enter the Imperial Palace right now~!

"

nMeanwhile, Tang Li Xue hastily put Little Loki and Yaya into her system's pet space, so no one would suspect their group.

nBut those royal guards and imperial soldiers did not immediately open the gates like Wang Shan's ordered to do.

nSome of the royal guards quickly reported it to their higher-ups, and they waited for a few minutes until the royal guards' captain went out to meet them.

nThe royal guards' captain was also wearing silver armor like the other royal guards, but the appearance of his silver armor looked a lot better than the other royal guards.

n

"Ahahaha, so it's Third Young Master Wang Shan. I am really sorry. My subordinates are still new, so they do not recognize you yet.

" The royal guard's captain politely said while laughing friendly at Wang Shan.

nWang Shan still felt angry and immediately blurted out:

"Captain Lu, you should teach your subordinates better. How could they not know of the Wang Family's logo on my carriage?! If it wasn't me who was in this carriage but my father, they would definitely be severely punished already.

"

n

"I know, Third Young Master. I will definitely teach them more harshly later. But Third Young Master, may I know why you came to the Imperial Palace today? Just so you know, there are dangerous intruders sneaking into the Imperial Palace this morning, so the situation in the Imperial Palace may not be suitable for you to visit right now.

" Royal Guard's captain tried to persuade Wang Shan.

nWang Shan rolled his eyes and replied:

"I already know about that from my father. But I still come here because I am really worried about the safety and condition of Your Majesty and my father. So, do not waste my time anymore, and just let me pass already~!

"

nThe Wang Shan's reason was surely strange and flawed since Tang Li Xue forcefully used Mystic Whisper on him against his will.

nWang Shan was a timid man, so he usually would not dare to come to the Imperial Palace if not for his father's order, especially there were dangerous intruders hiding there right now.

nTang Li Xue could only nervously hope that the royal guard's captain would not realize Wang Shan's strange behavior.

nRoyal Guard's captain really wanted to say that there would be nothing you could do even if you entered the Imperial Palace right now, and you might make the situation deteriorate even further.

nOf course, he would not dare to say it right in front of Wang Shan's face.

nRoyal Guard's captain hesitated for a while since it would be bad if the intruders caught Wang Shan and used him as a hostage later.

nTang Li Xue secretly took a glance at the hesitating Royal Guard's captain from beside Wang Shan.

nShe could immediately guess what the Royal Guard's captain was thinking and the reason for his hesitation right now.

n'An expert at the peak of Core Formation Stage, huh... Sigh, my Mystic Whisper should only be able to affect him for one moment at best...' Tang Li Xue judged in her mind.

nBut if she did not say or do anything at this point, the Royal Guard's captain might really not let Wang Shan and her enter the Imperial Palace today.

nSo, she decided to say something to help Wang Shan out:

"I am sorry, Captain Lu, but we must enter the Imperial Palace right now. I know what are you worrying about, but you do not need to worry. Minister Wang Tian had already entrusted Brother Wang's safety to me, so those intruders would definitely not be able to touch Brother Wang under my protection.

"

nTang Li Xue released the pressure from her cultivation to prove her strength to the Royal Guard's captain.

nOf course, she was only at the early Foundation Establishment Stage, and it was clearly far from enough to impress the Royal Guard's captain, so Tang Li Xue secretly used another hidden means.

nEyes of Illusion~!

nTang Li Xue's captivating topaz blue eyes were shining with dim light, and the mysterious dim light reflected on the eyes of the Royal Guard's captain.

nIn that instant, Tang Li Xue's pressure magnified many times in front of the Royal Guard's captain!

n

"Early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator~!

" The Royal Guard's captain exclaimed in shock.

nTang Li Xue quickly restrained her cultivation pressure until the Royal Guard's captain could not sense it anymore.

nBut under her white veil, Tang Li Xue's expression turned a bit pale as her mental energy had consumed quite a lot.

nJust now, Tang Li Xue tried her best to create a more realistic illusion to fool the Royal Guard's captain.

nCreating a realistic illusion that could deceive the sharp senses of the peak of the Core Formation Stage was clearly not an easy task to do.

nFortunately, she had really succeeded.

nThe Royal Guard's captain stared at Tang Li Xue with a pair of respectful eyes and said in a more polite tone:

"Young Miss has very high cultivation at such a young age. I, Captain Lu, really admire you very much.

"

nThe Royal Guard's captain felt convinced by Tang Li Xue's strength, so he no longer hesitated and shouted to his subordinates:

"All right, open the gates right now and let this carriage in~!

"

nTang Li Xue nodded at the Royal Guard's captain and muttered with a gentle smile on her face:

"Thank you very much for your trust, Captain Lu! Please do not worry, I promise I will definitely protect Brother Wang's safety.

"

nThe Royal Guard's captain nodded back at Tang Li Xue with a kind smile on his face and warned them once again:

"You can enter the Imperial Palace now, but please remember to always be really careful at all times. The strength of the intruders is not low, and they are really good at hiding.

"

nWang Shan's expression was filled with an overjoyed smile as he stared at Tang Li Xue with an infatuated expression.

nTang Li Xue quickly reminded Wang Shan:

"Let's go, Brother Wang~! Let's pass the gates before they close them again.

"

nWang Shan woke up from his infatuated state and quickly ordered the driver to drive their luxurious carriage to enter the Imperial Palace.

nTang Li Xue secretly sighed in relief when she saw their carriage finally pass the front gates and enter the Imperial Palace.

n'The real battle starts from here... In this mind game with these people as our chess pieces, I will definitely be the one who will emerge victorious in the end~!' Tang Li Xue resolutely thought as her fighting spirit burned even more fiercely.
