The Bad Commander waved his hand, telling them to get up, then glanced at Li Xingyun, but did not make him ascend the throne as emperor as in the original series.
When Li Xingyun saw him looking at him, he winked at him and gave him a meaningful smile.
Shen Ye noticed all of this, but he really couldn't figure out what the two of them were up to. However, he was very clear about one thing: the two of them must have reached some kind of secret agreement.
But... he was too lazy to think about it anymore. In the end, Li Xingyun would definitely be the one who suffered.
He frowned and said, "If there's nothing else, Xuan'er and I will be leaving now."
"Brother Shen, wait a moment."
"Brother Shen, please wait."
However, just as he finished speaking, Li Xingyun and the Bad Commander both spoke up to persuade him to stay. The Bad Commander even called him "brother" to show him more respect, which surprised him.
"Your Highness, please speak first," the Bad Commander said, bowing slightly to Li Xingyun, always mindful of his status.
"It's nothing, I just discussed it with my junior sister and we decided to treat Brother Shen to a good meal after we resolve this matter," Li Xingyun said, scratching his head.
"Is that so? Then please wait a moment, Your Highness. I have something I'd like to discuss with Brother Shen," said the Bad Commander.
“Okay, you guys go first.” Li Xingyun nodded.
The Bad Guy Commander clasped his hands in a fist salute to him, then said to Shen Ye, "Brother Shen, may I have a word with you in private?"
Shen Ye nodded: "Okay, where to?"
He readily agreed, after all, he wanted to know as soon as possible what the Bad Commander wanted to say to him.
"Inside Jiao Lan Palace!" The Bad Commander pointed to Jiao Lan Palace, then glanced at Meng Po, who called herself Tianyou Star: "Shi Yao, you come with us."
A hint of doubt appeared on Meng Po's wrinkled face, but she had no objection to the orders of the Bad Commander and followed behind the two of them, leaning on her cane.
Watching the three walk towards Jiaolan Hall, Lu Linxuan asked Li Xingyun curiously, "Senior brother, is Meng Po's real name Shi Yao?"
“How would I know…” Li Xingyun shrugged at her.
……
Inside the Jiao Lan Palace, Emperor Liang, Zhu Wen, sat upright on the dragon throne, but he was now a corpse. Around him were several other corpses, including the imposter Zhu Youwen and Zhang, the wife of Zhu Yougui.
But the Bad Commander didn't even glance at them. After Meng Po entered, he flicked his finger and closed the door of the main hall.
"Yuan Tiangang, what exactly are you planning?" Shen Ye asked impatiently as soon as the door closed.
But the Bad Commander seemed not to hear him, and simply said to Meng Po, "You've been disguising yourself for so many years, it must have been hard for you. From now on, you shall return to your original appearance."
Although somewhat puzzled, Meng Po nodded: "Yes, Commander."
Then, she turned and walked behind a pillar in the main hall.
Upon hearing this, Shen Ye temporarily suppressed his dissatisfaction with Yuan Tiangang and stared blankly at the pillar where Meng Po was hiding. He was still very curious about Meng Po's ability to change her appearance.
"However, I remember that in the original drama, when Shi Yao regained her original appearance, she wasn't wearing any clothes, right?" he thought to himself.
Just as he was making malicious speculations, a beautiful figure walked out from behind the pillar. It was Meng Po who had regained her original appearance... no, she should be called Shi Yao now.
To his disappointment, he didn't see what he wanted to see, but he could still see a pair of long legs without any clothes covering them. After all, now that she had returned to her normal figure, she was tall and graceful, and her original clothes no longer fit her.
"General!" Shi Yao covered her ill-fitting clothes with her hand and bowed to the Unruly General.
The wicked leader glanced at her, then looked away and said, "From now on, you'll follow him."
"What did you say?" Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard.
But at this moment, Shi Yao had already walked up to him and knelt down: "Shi Yao greets Young Master Shen."
Shen Ye: "??????"

Chapter 440! The Immortal Riddler
……
A ragged, mature woman knelt before him. Even though Shen Ye was a man of many experiences, his gaze still drifted slightly downwards. However, he quickly regained his composure, frowned, and asked the Bad Commander, "Yuan Tiangang, what exactly do you want to do?"
At this moment, the Bad Commander put his hands behind his back, looked at Zhu Wen on the dragon throne, and said indifferently, "Brother Shen, you don't need to know what I want to do, but rest assured, I will never harm you. On the contrary, I will give you many things that you cannot refuse."
"What if I don't want it?" Shen Ye asked coldly.
Without turning his head, the scoundrel said, "You don't want it? Then something worthless has no reason to exist."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yao, who had been an undercover agent for many years and was practically a seasoned veteran, turned pale.
Sure enough, the Bad Commander's next words were directed at her.
"Shi Yao, he, as your master, doesn't want you anymore. What should you, as his servant, do?"
"Shi Yao understands."
Under Shen Ye's questioning gaze, Shi Yao freed one hand, then waved her hand, and a long knife on the ground jumped into her hand, which she then slowly placed against her neck.
"Since the young master doesn't want me anymore, then Shi Yao has no reason to exist." Although she was unwilling, Shi Yao dared not disobey the orders of the Bad Commander, because she knew that if she didn't take action, it would be the Bad Commander who would do it. Moreover, she vaguely felt that the Bad Commander had another meaning in making her do this.
Judging from Shi Yao's actions, it didn't seem like she was faking it. Shen Ye even saw a bloodstain seeping from her fair neck, so he quickly said, "Yuan Tiangang, doesn't this seem unnecessary? She is, after all, a Great Celestial..."
"So what if you're at the Great Celestial Rank? In the Bad People, those without value don't deserve to live." The Bad Leader interrupted him, then turned to Shi Yao and said, "What are you waiting for? Don't want to die? Then beg him to take you in!"
Shi Yao glanced cautiously at the Bad Commander, her face instantly changing to a pitiful expression as she said to Shen Ye, "Young Master, this servant wishes to stay by your side for a long time."
But Shen Ye frowned at the Bad Commander and ignored her.
The Bad Guy Commander sighed and said, "It seems he doesn't think much of you, Shi Yao. You can make your move now."
Upon hearing this, a resolute look flashed in Shi Yao's eyes. She then closed her eyes and slowly increased the pressure on her hands, which were clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
"Alright, you win." Shen Ye flicked his finger, knocking the long sword out of Shi Yao's hand, and said to the Bad Commander.
"Hahaha, it seems that even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman!" the Bad Commander laughed, his words carrying a hint of teasing.
Shen Ye glared at him irritably, but had no words to refute him. He could only stare fiercely at Shi Yao, which almost made Shi Yao, who had just stood up, kneel down again.
But Shi Yao, having been an undercover agent in the Xuanming Sect for so many years, naturally possessed exceptional observational skills. She immediately said to him, "Young Master, this is the second time you have saved me."
Shen Ye shook his head and said, "It wasn't the second time, it was the first time. I saved Meng Po before, not Shi Yao."
Shi Yao immediately understood his meaning and chuckled, saying, "Young master is right. Meng Po is Meng Po, and Shi Yao is Shi Yao. From now on, there will only be Shi Yao."
Shen Ye nodded, then looked at the Bad Commander and asked, "I've taken him in. Shouldn't you tell me something now?"
The Grand Marshal continued staring at Zhu Wen's corpse, not answering his question, but instead asking, "What do you think of this throne?"
"How do you see it?" Shen Ye was a little confused by his question. He was a modern man and his knowledge was definitely more than that of Yuan Tiangang, an ancient man, but that didn't mean he was as smart as Yuan Tiangang. After thinking for a while, he still didn't understand what the question meant, so he could only say according to his own thoughts: "How else can you see it? It's a hard thing, and it's uncomfortable to sit on for a long time."
“Ah, you’re right, but since this position was created, countless people have wanted to sit in it for thousands of years, but very few have actually managed to hold onto it.” The Bad Commander sighed again, then finally shifted his gaze from Zhu Wen’s corpse to Shen Ye, and continued, “You…aren’t you interested in this position?”
Shen Ye said dismissively, "I'm only interested in the woman sitting in this position, well, if there is one."
"Then you were born too late. Wu Zetian was an unparalleled beauty back then, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to win the hearts of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong," the Bad Commander said with a smile.
"I don't like ambitious women," Shen Ye said, pursing his lips.
“I didn’t like it either, so that’s when I resigned.” The Bad Commander nodded, then turned and walked out of the main hall.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Shen Ye quickly followed and called out, "Hey, Yuan Tiangang, you still haven't told me what I want to know!"
"But I have already obtained what I wanted to know." Without stopping, the Bad Commander's figure flashed continuously, and he had already appeared outside the main hall. Then, he turned his head and asked another question.
"When do you plan to leave?"
"What do you mean?" Shen Ye's expression hardened, wondering if he had figured out that he wasn't from this world.
The Bad Guy Commander laughed and said, "It's nothing, just a casual question. But remember to let me know when you're leaving, so I can make preparations and see you off."
Shen Ye snorted coldly and said, "No need."
“It is still… necessary.” The Bad Guy Commander gave him a deep look, and then his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
Looking at the spot where the Bad Commander disappeared, Shen Ye cursed inwardly, "You old bastard, you deserve to have only Li Chunfeng as your friend in this life."
He then turned around, preparing to call Shi Yao to leave together.
However, as he turned around, he saw Shi Yao changing into the clothes of Zhu Yougui's wife, Zhang.
Seeing his gaze fall on her nearly naked body, Shi Yao's face flushed slightly and her body felt a little hot, but she did not make any attempt to cover herself up. Instead, she continued to change her clothes openly.
After changing her clothes, she walked slowly to Shen Ye's side, tugged at the strapless bra that was constricting her chest, and then gave him a curtsy, saying, "Young Master, where are we going next?"
"Let's eat." Shen Ye glanced back at the outside of the main hall. More than half the night had passed, and dawn was approaching. He nodded vigorously, "Let's have breakfast."
With that, he turned and walked out of the main hall toward Li Xingyun and the others.
Li Xingyun, Lu Linxuan, and the others, who had been waiting outside the main hall for a long time, were somewhat surprised when they saw Shen Ye come out, followed by a beautiful woman.
"Brother Shen, who is this?" Zhang Zifan was stunned to see that after he and the Bad Commander entered the main hall, they brought out a beautiful woman. How come he always runs into beautiful women wherever he goes?
"My new maid, Shi Yao," the man said proudly, his desire to show off making him quite pleased with himself. Although Yuan Tiangang had forced her upon him, he didn't seem to have lost out.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Linxuan pointed at Shi Yao and said, "Shi Yao... are you that old woman? Brother Shen, why do you want just anyone?"
