There is no denying that ancient robes are extremely roomy.

So even though there is a bit of a height difference, the outfit still fits Lin Yi quite neatly, instead of appearing overly small.

There's nothing that can be done about it; after all, the place where Lin Yi resides is just a Border Army Camp, which, although resembling a small town, offers a limited variety of clothes.

Moreover, the people there are all soldiers of the Border Army and their families, which is exactly why you won't find any luxurious clothing there.

You mostly see clothes made of rough cloth and linen.

But such apparel is not quite suitable for Lin Yi.

Of course, when he and Leng Yu traveled to the Capital City before, he did plan to buy a few sets of clothing.

But they had no choice, as they came in too much of a rush, and then they ran into the whole matter with Prince Ning, which put an end to their shopping plans.

They returned home without visiting any places.

This time, they arrived again in the middle of the night, plus all the shops were already closed, so Lin Yi had nowhere else to choose clothes from.

Leng Yu only had a set of brocade robes, which Lin Yi had no choice but to wear at the moment.

As the two of them approached the entrance of the grand hall, they were immediately blocked by two samurais in armor.

However, upon recognizing the little eunuch, they immediately let them pass.

As for Lin Yi, who followed behind, although unfamiliar, since he was brought by the eunuch, the guards did not inspect him.

From their perspective, he is a close aide and a personal eunuch serving the king.

Hence, he wouldn't pose any threat to the king.

Moreover, even if this guy had any harmful intentions, they could respond immediately, as they are well-selected soldiers, stronger in martial prowess than ordinary people.

They are the elite of the Guard Army of the capital, specifically tasked with defending the Royal City.

Outside the room, the eunuch slightly bowed, took a couple of deep breaths to calm his excitement, and then spoke respectfully and nervously to those inside:

"Your Majesty, I have returned."

Right after these words, a rough voice came from inside, sounding rather anxious:

"Oh, Daoist Wu is here, quick. Please invite Daoist Wu in."

The voice was accompanied by the sound of approaching footsteps.

Clearly, it seemed the king, upon hearing the arrival of Daoist Wu, was coming out to greet him personally.

According to the eunuch, Lin Yi could clearly understand what kind of figure Daoist Wu represented in the eyes of this emperor.

Probably not much different from his image among those Border Army soldiers.

After all, who else, besides an Immortal, could communicate with the heavens?

At that moment, the eunuch also pushed open the door in front of them and walked inside.

Behind him, Lin Yi followed without any hesitation, walking leisurely but steadily inside.

Upon entering the grand hall, he was immediately greeted by lavish decorations.

Something he had never witnessed in a Border Army Camp.

Though the palace was not particularly large, it was filled with a variety of redwood furniture and various decorations.

Among them, many jars and containers, and even a variety of metallic items gleaming with a yellow glow.

If Lin Yi guessed correctly, these should all be crafted of gold.

This undoubtedly showcased the opulence of the palace.

Of course, from the eunuch's words, he also learned that this Concubine 79 was the woman whom Prince Ning favored most in recent years.

It's said that in the past, with Prince Ning changing women every three days, Concubine 79 was the one who spent the most time with him.

Occasionally, during his leisure, Prince Ning would come this way to indulge with Concubine 79.

This clearly showed that Concubine 79 was indeed a rather cunning woman.

And it was no surprise that a woman with such cunning and means would possess such a palace.

It's imaginable that she was probably one of the most carefree individuals in the Imperial Palace.

As Lin Yi observed the room, he also noticed the woman sitting at the round table.

Indeed, this woman was exceedingly seductive, and her entire enchanting red outfit was strikingly alluring.

However, his attention didn't linger long on the woman but quickly shifted to the man walking towards him.

There was no doubt that this was the notorious incompetent Prince Ning.

Just as his gaze turned to this man, the prince also focused his sight on Lin Yi.

Upon seeing that the person behind the eunuch was not Daoist Wu but Lin Yi, the king's brows furrowed deeply, and his smile instantly vanished.

At the same time, he asked coldly:

"Who are you? I summoned Daoist Wu, so why are you here?"

When saying this, Prince Ning furrowed his brows even more, contemplating the situation.

Soon, it seemed he figured it out, perhaps suspecting that this guy was a disciple of Daoist Wu.

Supposedly, Daoist Wu was currently engaged in a ritual and couldn't come.

Upon this thought, his brows slightly relaxed, and his mood also improved.

If that's the case, it is forgivable since Daoist Wu's doings are in service of him.

In service of securing his throne.

Before Lin Yi could speak, the prince, having pieced everything together, continued to ask:

"Are you Daoist Wu's disciple? Is Daoist Wu at the moment conducting a sacrifice for me? How is it progressing? Is there any assistance I can offer?"

This left Lin Yi momentarily stunned, as he hadn't spoken a word, and this man had already fabricated his identity.

Yet, from this, he also realized how genuinely fearful the king was at that moment.
