This conversation between grandfather and grandson lasted late into the night.

Just like in the Duke's mansion, the He family also had a night talk tonight.

In the small secret room of the He family, He Daji, He Youhua, and He Dewen—the previous, current, and next heads of the He family—were all present.

What important matter could gather these three generations of the He family in this small secret room?

"Young Master, does the Lord have any updates on the matter I mentioned earlier?"

The speaker was He Daji, the previous head of the He family, but once again, he mentioned their mysterious Lord.

"My father has investigated it. That Ye Yiming merely encountered a strange person and received a bit of fortune."

A cold voice came from a corner of the secret room, adding to the chill in the room.

Was there another person? Could it be that besides the three of them, there was a fourth person in the room?

The speaker with the cold voice was neither He Daji's son He Youhua nor his grandson He Dewen. The voice came from the darkest corner of the room, confirming the presence of a fourth person.

This fourth person, shrouded in darkness, was quite mysterious. From his words, it wasn't hard to deduce his identity as the son of He Daji's mysterious Lord, making him the young master of the He family.

"A strange person?" He Daji was shocked by the mysterious young master's words and said worriedly, "Young Master, anyone who can be called a strange person is likely an extraordinary individual. Could this affect the Lord's grand plan?"

Thinking of his Lord's grand plan, He Daji became even more cautious.

Such a grand plan must not allow for the slightest mistake! I have to ask clearly! Otherwise, a single misstep could lead to the annihilation of the entire He family!

Sensing He Daji's nervousness, the mysterious young master spoke up, "Old Master He, there's no need to worry. My father has already investigated thoroughly. There are no strange people in the capital right now. It seems that the person Ye Yiming met was just someone who gave him a few tips on alchemy out of momentary interest."

As soon as the mysterious young master finished speaking, He Dewen chimed in.

"Yes, Grandpa, if there really were any strange people, given Ye Yiming's personality, it would have spread by now. Hmph, Ye Yiming is just using some super warrior pills to make a big profit. In my opinion, Ye Yiming is just a money-grubbing person who is not worth fearing."

Recalling how Ye Yiming made him so angry earlier today that he spat blood, He Dewen's anger flared up again, making his tone as fiery as if he had swallowed gunpowder.

Hearing the mysterious young master's words and seeing his furious grandson, He Daji finally felt relieved and said to the mysterious young master, "Please forgive me, Young Master. The Lord's grand plan is of utmost importance, and any carelessness would lead to failure. I must be cautious."

He Daji's tone was extremely serious, and his expression was exceptionally solemn. Seeing this, the mysterious young master could only respond, "Old Master He, rest assured. Today, I met Ye Yiming in person. He indeed seems to be a greedy person. Even if he managed to talk Dewen into fainting, it only shows that he has some wit, not enough to be a threat."

The mysterious young master's words made He Dewen's face turn red with embarrassment, and his emotions became agitated. However, thinking of his grandfather and father, as well as the mysterious young master, He Dewen restrained himself from showing any extreme behavior, but his hatred for Ye Yiming grew even deeper.

Seeing the mysterious young master speak so reasonably, He Daji thought for a moment and agreed. No matter how he looked at it, Ye Yiming didn't seem like someone capable of grand plans. Even though Ye Yiming had shown some exceptional behavior recently, his image as a playboy was hard to forget.

Sometimes, people don't believe things until they see them with their own eyes, no matter how much they hear about them.

The four people in the secret room probably shared this mindset. Even He Dewen, who had fainted from anger because of Ye Yiming, only thought Ye Yiming was good at talking, nothing more.

People often suffer losses and fail to accomplish things because of this mentality.

As the saying goes, "seeing is believing."

The mysterious young master, seeing that He Daji was no longer worried, continued, "Let's end the matter of Ye Yiming here. Today, my father sent me to ask if the task given to Old Master He has been completed."

Perhaps convinced by the mysterious young master, or maybe because he never took Ye Yiming seriously, He Daji's earlier questions were merely due to his cautious nature. With the conversation progressing, he no longer worried about Ye Yiming.

Upon hearing the mysterious young master's question, He Daji dismissed his final thoughts about Ye Yiming and quickly answered.

"Rest assured, Young Master. The Lord's instructions have been fulfilled." He Daji then turned to his eldest son, "Youhua, report the details to the Young Master."

He Youhua, who had been standing by, immediately responded, "Yes, Father."

He then turned to the mysterious young master, bowed respectfully, and said, "Young Master, according to the Lord's instructions, the He family has liquidated some assets, converted them into a large amount of gold, and used this gold to quietly purchase large quantities of food and weapons. We will not delay the Lord's grand plan."

Hearing He Youhua's words, the mysterious young master nodded involuntarily but then recalled something and asked worriedly, "Did your actions attract any attention?"

This concern was valid. The He family was the wealthiest in Tianyang, and the Lord's plan required a vast amount of money. Even with the He family's wealth, their actions couldn't have been small, thus causing the mysterious young master's worry.

Seeing this, He Daji smiled and said, "Young Master, rest assured. The Lord had arranged everything in advance. You may not know, but the black tiger beast in my house was originally a low-level celestial beast. When the Lord gave it to me, he provided a Hidden Qi Pill to conceal its power, giving us an excuse to mobilize funds."

He Daji's words finally put the mysterious young master at ease, making him even more impressed with his father.

So, his father had planned everything long ago. With such preparation, how could the grand plan fail?

At this moment, He Dewen spoke up.

"Please rest assured, Young Master. Recently, under the pretense of buying pills to stabilize the black tiger's realm, I have purchased a large number of pills from Wang Weilong and Ye Yiming at several times the market price to mislead them."

"Yes, Dewen handled this personally, so please rest assured, Young Master," He Daji quickly added, praising his grandson before continuing with a smile. "Interestingly, when we were struggling to mobilize funds, Ye Yiming won 15 million taels of gold in our gambling house. Now, our large-scale fund mobilization won't attract any attention. Please rest assured, Young Master."

The mysterious young master nodded and said, "That's good. As long as your family is dedicated, my father will reward you handsomely once his plan succeeds. Your family's wealth and status will far exceed others."

"Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Young Master!"

Hearing this, the three generations of the He family were filled with enthusiasm at the thought of the future described by the mysterious young master, and they bowed in gratitude.

Their actions made the mysterious young master even more proud.

"There's no need for such formality. Your family's assistance is well-deserved."

The mysterious young master's words moved He Daji and the others, who immediately pledged their utmost support to the Lord's plan.

Seeing their determination, the mysterious young master became more excited and said, "Good! Good! Good! After three months, when my father succeeds, your family will be the first in Tianyang!"

The mysterious young master became more excited as he spoke, eventually standing up, his voice growing louder and more confident.

Seeing this, the three generations of the He family knelt and shouted in unison.

"May the Lord's grand plan succeed! Long live the empire!"

Their words made the mysterious young master even more excited, and he involuntarily stepped out of the dark corner.

Dressed in white and with a handsome face, this person looked familiar!

If Ye Yiming were here, he would certainly exclaim, "Hypocrite Yue Buqun!"

Yes, this mysterious young master was none other than Cheng Baili, who left an impression of being a hypocrite on Ye Yiming.

The little prince Cheng Baili?

That means the Lord mentioned by He Daji is Cheng Baili's father, Cheng Haoze, the only non-royal prince of Tianyang?

From the conversation, it was clear that Prince Cheng seemed to have intentions of rebellion.

No, he definitely had intentions of rebellion, as the He family had already taken action.

Could someone really be bored enough to rebel? And that person is the only non-royal prince of Tianyang, Cheng Haoze?

Ye Yiming's prediction was right!

Three months later?

All Tianyang citizens knew that three months from now was the birthday of King Lin Wanjun, a time of nationwide celebration!
