"So aloof!"

Li Yinhu squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, and the vision of the saint's peerless beauty and figure once again appeared before his eyes. A flicker of heat appeared in his icy gaze.

For all these years, the only thing that has mattered to him is power.

He thought he had no interest in women and wouldn't be moved by them.

But after meeting the Saintess, Li Yinhǔ suddenly realized that there were things other than power that could move his heart.

If one day, I could have such a woman beneath me, the feeling would be...

Li Yinhu, whose breathing was a bit rapid, raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp. The strong liquor did not quell the fire within him, but rather seemed to fan its flames even higher.

Li Yinhu took a deep breath and said in a solemn voice.

Behind him, a figure resembling a ghost emerged, an old man.

This old man was the one who had been hiding in the secret room of Li Yinhu's house that day.

"Your Highness," the old man said respectfully, standing behind Li Yinhu.

"The Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect, have you observed carefully" Li Yinhou asked in a deep voice.

"Observing... extraordinary."

The old man pondered for a moment, then said, “While I was observing her, she may have also noticed me, but she chose not to point it out. Her cultivation is not below mine.”

Knowing that the old servant behind him, Li Yinhu, was capable, he was taken aback and asked again: “Between you two, who will win”

The old man shook his head slightly and said, "It's hard to say who would win in a fight between people of our level, because we all have secret techniques up our sleeves that are unknown to outsiders. We only take them out when it's life or death."

"If I were to hazard a guess, the outcome of a life-or-death battle would be decided within fifty moves. If I hadn't killed her within the first twenty moves, then I would be the one who dies."

Li Yinhu's face was grave, his eyes narrowed as he said: "Bai Lian Jiao, you truly have some foundation."

The elder comforted, "Your Highness needn't worry, with me here, she wouldn't be able to do anything harmful to you."

“Your Majesty doesn’t need to worry about this...”

Li Yinhu frowned slightly and said, "Since that's the case, let them make a move to assassinate. It would be ten out of ten certain."

The old man shook his head and said, "Your Highness, we still need to think this through carefully. The number one expert in the capital is not me, nor the Saintess, but San Bao."

"At that time, if we couldn't get rid of him or send him away, I'm afraid it would be difficult to succeed."

Li Yinhu frowned and said, “You two, one is the saintess of the Bai Lian Sect, who has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the other is a famous martial arts master decades ago. He Sanbao is just a eunuch who has spent his whole life in the palace. Is he worth your fear”

The old man chuckled wryly, “Your Highness, most martial arts in the world can be found within the Imperial Palace. Moreover, eunuchs who have been castrated are always prone to cultivating demonic arts. In the Jianghu, this group of eunuchs represents a very obscure and secluded sect. Their power is no weaker than any major school; after all, they have the resources of the royal family to support their cultivation, making it far easier than for those in the Jianghu.”

"I've been stuck at the Grandmaster realm for over a decade. Taking half a step forward would be reaching the Land Immortal realm. The Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect should be facing the same predicament. As for the three treasures, they probably already took that half step and are now on par with the White Lotus Sect's leader. Therefore, we must proceed with caution."

Li Yinhu's face darkened, and he let out a long sigh: "Very well. Heaven, time, place, and people are all on the Prince's side...but this King has never been one to yield, nor will I ever submit!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!entLi Chen pondered for a moment before saying, "This palace intends to announce the imperial court's reform at tomorrow's early court session. Among them, the military reforms will be substantial."Af...
