Have I become the nightmare of the goddesses?

“Ok?”
A handsome young man riding a horse looked at the guard beside him.
This cold-faced man has a face similar to Ye Teng.
He is Ye Li, the eldest son of Earl Taining.
“We are about to arrive at Li’an Mansion. When we enter the city, you and I must follow the master’s arrangements.”
Ye Li nodded. He was quite polite to the old man next to his father.
“Don’t worry, I understand.”
He looked at the outline of the city ahead, his heart beating fast. He didn’t know what the convoy was escorting, but he knew that this trip was of extraordinary significance. They were working for the patrol angel Xu Yuanwang.
The Liangyi Dao’s Ascension Meeting in Li’an Prefecture is about to begin, and their Ye family has established a connection with Envoy Xu who is presiding over the meeting. If he doesn’t enter the immortal gate, who will be qualified to ascend to immortality?
With this in mind, he did not feel tired even after running around all night. It would not be long before he would be the pride of the Seven Sacred Lands!
“Ye Teng…”
Ye Li suddenly thought of his half-brother. The stunning face of a red-eyed girl appeared before his eyes, and jealousy burned in his chest.
“How could he, a bastard with unknown origins, marry such a beautiful woman? Miss Lin is extremely beautiful and charming. She is definitely not a woman that a son-in-law can touch. Wait until I join the Immortal Sect—”
Young Master Ye took a deep breath to calm himself, and looked up. A towering city wall came into view. The guards on the city wall raised bows and arrows engraved with runes at them.
“stop!”
Ye Li was not surprised by the guarding of the city. He dismounted from his horse and slowly bowed toward the wall.
“I would like to say hello to all the soldiers on behalf of my father, Earl Taining. Our guild has just returned from a business trip and will be entering the city tonight to prepare. I beg you to give us some convenience.”
He did not hesitate to bring up the name of his biological father. As the Ye family was a prominent and prestigious family in Li’an Prefecture, who would dare not give them face?
“I’ve met Mr. Ye.”
The young general on the city wall smiled politely.
“Don’t dare.”
Ye Li waved to the guards beside him, and a carriage ran out of the team.
“We have bought some good wine from Sunan Prefecture. You have worked hard guarding the city. Let’s have a drink after your shift.”
He said in a friendly manner that the Ye family could use their power to suppress others, but they could just throw a few copper coins to please others, so why bother to make enemies? However, they only dared to send some wine. If they generously sent food, it would be fatal. It was a taboo to reward the soldiers privately.
“Thank you for your kindness, sir. I asked the brothers to go down and do a routine inspection. This is the rule. Please don’t blame us.”
The general on the city wall explained, and a team of soldiers followed him out of the city to search the caravan, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was just a show.
“it is good.”
Ye Li waited leisurely for a quarter of an hour. After the soldiers retreated, he ordered the team to move forward.
“Enter the city!”
He finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. He didn’t know what kind of goods the convoy was transporting, but he knew that what he was doing now might not be allowed to be seen in public. If there was any mistake, the result might be disastrous. Fortunately, everything went smoothly as planned and he was able to go home.
“Nothing serious…”
Ye Li mounted his horse and stepped forward. The relaxed smile on his face suddenly disappeared.
“Why are the people from the Astronomical Survey here?”
His face turned pale, and he saw dozens of men in flying crane robes holding pearl staffs coming. Xu Yuanwang was the patrol angel in charge of the Patrol Heaven Observatory, but he didn’t tell him that there would be such a drama. Are the people coming here enemies or friends?
“The inspector is enforcing the law. Please dismount and wait for orders.”
Ye Li fell off his horse after hearing the orders from the people who came. These people were all disciples of the Four Immortal Sects and the Four Taoist Sects. Their power came from the holy land and the emperor who were high above them. How dare he disobey their orders?
“This sir…”
He stepped forward to greet him, but was interrupted before he could finish his words.
“We are patrolling the inner city at night and following the rules. If you have anything to say, wait until we finish our investigation.”
Chapter 59 Miss Ling’er, Very Moist
“Whoosh…”
The night is bright with numerous stars, and the moon has not yet set under the solitary lamp on the rock. Li’an Mansion is shining with stars under the night sky, and the houses are lined up like stars. Two figures shuttle between the buildings and stop at a pavilion near the south gate.
“The Ye family’s caravan?”
A clear and pleasant voice sounded, and a red-eyed girl stood on the roof of the pavilion, looking at the brightly lit city gate in the distance with a look of surprise.
“They can’t wait.”
The noble young man next to her chuckled.
“How is this going?”
Lin Zhuoyue looked at Wei Buqi, her eyes were full of confusion, and there was a smile in his eyes.
“I told you that I deliberately had the demons from the Demon Cult exile Miss Ling’er and me to the wilderness that day, in order to make them think that I would not be able to return to Li’an Mansion overnight. In this way, they would take advantage of my absence to do something.”
He looked at the city gate ahead and saw a group of inspectors stopping the convoy that wanted to enter the city. This was certainly his work.
“How do you know that the Demonic Cult would use the people from the Ye Mansion to transport something unspeakable into the city?”
she asked.
“This is all thanks to Miss Ling’er.”
Wei Buqi smiled gently.
“She told me that Prince Kang is not in the palace in the city all year round, but lives in a manor on the outskirts of the city. Patrolling angel Xu Yuanwang is very close to Taining Earl Ye Luan. I also found out that the Ye’s Chamber of Commerce’s business route must pass through the Chishi Mountain Manor where the prince is, so we made today’s arrangements.”
“But…” Lin Zhuoyue suddenly realized something, then frowned and said, “This is not enough to prove that there is something wrong with the Ye clan.”
He shook his head and said seriously.
“It is better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. I will never let them have the slightest chance to bring unknown threats into Li’an Prefecture. If the people suffer, I will be blamed.”
She stared into his clear eyes. Was he really a patriot who cared about the people of the world?
“What are we going to do?”
Lin Zhuoyue turned around and looked at the city gate where there were many people.
“Wait……”
Before Wei Buqi finished speaking, they all looked at the official road connecting to the South Gate below them, and saw a luxurious carriage pulled by two flame-colored horses flying out from the corner of the street and heading straight for where the crowds of people were.
“This is Xu Yuanwang’s car.” She whispered, “He will find us if we stand here.”
A gray cat appeared in his arms at some point, and a gray mist engulfed them.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Lin Zhuoyue looked at the gray fairy in his hand in surprise. She recognized that this was the remnant soul of the great master he captured in the back mountain of Taining Marquis’s mansion. She was there at the time. Wasn’t this soul very fierce? Why is it so obedient now, like a kitten that hasn’t been weaned?
“You go on.”
she said.
“Mrs. Lin, do as I say…”
……
Under the city wall.
A group of people dressed in white crane costumes blocked the door.
The pearl sticks in their hands made the ancient city walls appear incandescent.
“Excuse me, sir, what is your name?” Ye Li carefully approached the inspector leading the team, “I…”
“Go back.”
The law enforcer had no intention of talking to him. He waved to his colleagues behind him, and a group of them began to search the vehicle and cargo.
“tread……”
A burst of thunderous horse hoof sounds suddenly came, and the people under the city wall looked back, their expressions changed.
“Envoy Xu is here.”
An inspector whispered, his eyes showing no respect for his superiors, but instead a frown.
Ye Teng stared at the flying car frame, he breathed a sigh of relief, and put his heart back in his stomach.
In the blink of an eye, the carriage on the road stopped in front of the city, and everyone present bowed in greeting.
“Greetings to the Patrolling Angel.”
A handsome middle-aged man in a black and white Taoist robe got off the carriage.
“What are you doing?”
Xu Yuanwang spoke. He didn’t look at Ye Li, but asked questions to the inspectors.
“I don’t remember any night patrols tonight.”
His tone was relatively calm, as if he was just passing by and came up to ask about the situation.
“Inspector Li, you speak.”
The inspector he pointed out took a step forward.
“We are patrolling the four gates under the orders of the Left Patrol Chief.”
Xu Yuanwang remained calm, but a serious look flashed in his eyes. Don’t underestimate him because he is a patrol angel. This is the Wei family’s Li’an Mansion, and he has to consider other people’s feelings when doing things.
The local astronomical observatory has a patrol angel, and under him are the left and right inspectors. The left inspector here is a member of the Wei Party.
If he didn’t know that the Wei thief had been exiled thousands of miles away by his own uncle Xie, he would have suspected that his plan had been exposed.
“I see.”
Xu Yuanwang nodded, his eyes sweeping towards the city gate guard standing beside him.
“Have you checked the goods?”
The soldier guarding the city heard his hidden meaning and spoke quickly.
