88: The mantra beads copied by Ye Xingzhou!

Just as the major sects were responding to Prince Yan and Mu Yunxiao's call to encircle and suppress the Giant Spirit Hall, Li Shengyuan and Ye Hangzhou also emerged from their seclusion.

The time was almost right; it was time for them to leave and head to the Giant Spirit Hall.

The Giant Spirit Hall almost simultaneously learned that it had been exposed and was about to be encircled and suppressed by the major sects. The high-ranking officials of the Giant Spirit Hall were utterly bewildered, unable to understand how they had suddenly been exposed for no apparent reason…

But they had no time to ponder; they could only gather the full strength of their sect to cope with the impending assault.

Fortunately, they were not alone…

Li Shengyuan arrived on the deck and saw the senior and junior sisters, Moon Clearsnow and Yue Qingmeng, from a distance.

He thought he had seen wrong, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again. Indeed, it was those two.

This surprised Li Shengyuan greatly. How did Princess Pingyang and Aunt Shen get in touch with them?

And even bring them onto this battleship.

But it didn't matter. They were about to depart, and as disciples of Yuehua Palace, if they wished to go, they could be given a ride along the way.

Moreover, as true disciples of Yuehua Palace, perhaps they could even establish a connection with Yuehua Palace through them and cooperate well.

Li Shengyuan's arrival also attracted the attention of the four women.

Princess Pingyang joyfully went to his side, pulled Li Shengyuan over, and said with a smile:

"Shengyuan Brother, you still remember Qing Shuang and Qingmeng Sister, right? We met them at the restaurant and brought them up here to play."

"Hmm, as true disciples of Yuehua Palace, I naturally wouldn't forget."

Li Shengyuan smiled and nodded, observing the two women. Moon Clearsnow was still as cold as ever, but her gaze towards him held a hint of complexity.

"Qingmeng Miss, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon!" Li Shengyuan said with a smile to the soft and adorable girl.

"You… hello."

The adorable girl, Yue Qingmeng, was still as shy as ever. Just a glance at her made her face turn rosy, and after greeting him, she quickly hid behind her senior sister.

However, a hint of admiration also appeared in her eyes.

This made Li Shengyuan somewhat curious. How did this girl come to admire him in just one afternoon?

Could it be that his magnificent image had moved her? Li Shengyuan thought to himself.

And the postures of the two made Princess Pingyang and Shen Xinrong repeatedly scan their gazes between them. There was something fishy about these two!

"We are about to depart. Are the two of you coming with us?" Li Shengyuan asked with a smile.

"Where are you going? Why should we go with you?" Moon Clearsnow asked with a slight frown.

"You still don't know?" Li Shengyuan raised an eyebrow. "Then it must be that your sect's news hasn't reached you yet, but it should be soon."

"Then let's wait a bit longer. That fellow Ye Hangzhou hasn't come out of seclusion yet."

He wondered if he had managed to research the Truth-telling Pearl in such a short time, and most importantly, the cracked version!

Princess Pingyang's next words immediately made Li Shengyuan's expression stiffen.

"Since we have to wait for that guy Ye Hangzhou anyway, why don't we try out the effect of the Truth-telling Pearl first!"

Li Shengyuan looked at Princess Pingyang, whose small face was full of excitement, and his heart sank, immediately having a bad premonition.

"Wh-what effect of the Truth-telling Pearl?"

"It's the Truth-telling Pearl you use when interrogating prisoners, of course! Qing Shuang Sister has already agreed to lend it to me!" Princess Pingyang said with a giggle.

Li Shengyuan secretly thought, 'Not good,' as he watched Moon Clearsnow calmly take out the Truth-telling Pearl. He finally understood how they had come to be together!

So it was this girl Princess Pingyang who had taken a liking to the Truth-telling Pearl's effect and wanted to use it on him!

Looking at Aunt Shen's expectant look, it was clear she was also very interested in this, and perhaps she had even helped come up with the idea.

"Shengyuan Brother, you should know how to use this, right!"

Princess Pingyang in a coquettish voice handed the Truth-telling Pearl to Li Shengyuan, her eyes full of anticipation.

Shen Xinrong and the other three women also looked over curiously. Yue Qingmeng's face was half-hidden behind her senior sister, only her big eyes blinking as she looked at Li Shengyuan.

"Uh… this…"

He wondered if it was his imagination, but Li Shengyuan felt some sweat beads forming on his forehead. The cracked version Ye Hangzhou was researching wasn't ready yet, so he couldn't experience the Truth-telling Pearl so soon!

Who will save me!

Liu Zhen! Zhang Mang! Zhao Shanhe! Ye Hangzhou!

Godfathers, any of you will do!

Li Shengyuan roared in his heart, and the next moment, his expression brightened as a familiar aura appeared beside him.

Then he felt a pat on his shoulder. Turning around, it was indeed the elusive Ye Hangzhou!

"Ye Hangzhou, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

Li Shengyuan immediately burst into tears, casting a tearful, grateful look at him. At this moment, he felt that Ye Hangzhou was his savior.

Ye Hangzhou looked at Li Shengyuan's gaze, and his heart was immediately filled with doubt, wondering what this guy was up to.

When he looked at the familiar Truth-telling Pearl being handed over by Princess Pingyang, and then at their expectant faces, Ye Hangzhou seemed to understand something.

Didn't this guy ask him to research a cracked version precisely because he was worried about this situation?

After figuring it out, Ye Hangzhou became exasperated in his heart. He shouldn't have come!

If he had been half a quarter of an hour late, there would have been a good show to watch by now…

Li Shengyuan also saw the exasperation in Ye Hangzhou's eyes, and he felt smug.

You little rascal, you're already here, can you still escape?!

He patted Ye Hangzhou's shoulder with a smile and asked, "Addressing Ye Xingzhou, you've been researching for so long, have you found anything?"

Ye Hangzhou irritably slapped away Li Shengyuan's hand, then spread his palm, revealing a bead exactly like Moon Clearsnow's.

The bead was even steaming, and still had some residual warmth, clearly fresh out of the oven.

Li Shengyuan was overjoyed at the sight. He took it and examined it, and indeed, it was exactly the same.

Good heavens, as expected of a great inventor, he truly didn't disappoint him!

However, the four women opposite him stared wide-eyed at the counterfeit Truth-telling Pearl in his hand!

Especially Moon Clearsnow, whose face was filled with shock and disbelief!

Shen Xinrong was the first to ask, "Shengyuan, is this in your hand also a Truth-telling Pearl?"

Seeing their curious gazes, Li Shengyuan smiled and nodded.

"That's right. After leaving the court, I thought the Truth-telling Pearl of the Yue Immortal was very effective and would be of great help to our Demon Suppression Division, so I asked Chief Ye to help create one. I didn't expect him to make it in just one afternoon!"

"As expected of the second supervisor of the Imperial Observatory, he's truly amazing!"

Li Shengyuan looked at the calm Ye Hangzhou with admiration. To him, this was just a small matter!

This afternoon was only for replication. If he had more time, he could develop one with even better effects!

Everyone's gaze also shifted to Ye Hangzhou, filled with curiosity and admiration.

Moon Clearsnow, however, shook her head repeatedly and said, "Impossible!"

"In this world, only our Yuehua Palace possesses the Truth-telling Pearl. One of its materials is difficult to find outside, and coupled with a unique forging technique, it's impossible to replicate!"
