Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2085: Sky-piercing Thief

"Prince, it’s just the Fourth Prince, is such a big fuss necessary?" The biggest supporter of the Fourth Prince, the Prime Minister, is already dead, with only the Empress left. Long Yi thought it wasn’t worth worrying about.

Long Rui: "Have you forgotten everything I’ve taught you?"

Long Yi was utterly perplexed. The Prince had taught him many things, but which one was he referring to?

Long Rui continued, "Never underestimate your opponent."

"But, the Fourth Prince he... ."

"Today’s Fourth Prince is not the same as yesterday’s Fourth Prince, so you must be even more cautious."

Still looking unable to comprehend, Long Yi listened as Long Rui detailed the Fourth Prince’s practice of evil techniques.

"What? The Fourth... Fourth Prince... has he... gone mad? Practicing evil techniques?"

Long Yi was shocked. Everyone who practiced martial arts knew that any technique in the world could be practiced, except for evil techniques. Once practiced, there was no turning back, it was a path of no return, easily falling into the demonic path.

Even as a member of the Imperial Family, for the Fourth Prince to take such a risk in practicing evil techniques was truly insane.

Long Rui: "It’s good that you know, let the brothers be a bit more careful."

"Yes."

Upon learning the secret of the Fourth Prince, Long Yi felt a heavy heart, quickly accepted his orders, and left without delay.

On the street, people came and went, it was very lively, and there were many small vendors on either side. The townspeople strolled happily, picking out items they liked.

"Make way, make way, clear the way quickly." Suddenly, a team of fierce government soldiers ran onto the bustling street.

The townsfolk quickly stepped aside when they saw this.

The leading soldier, holding an official notice, went to the wall next to the marketplace and pasted it up.

After posting the notice, the lead soldier turned to the townspeople in the street and shouted loudly, "Everyone come to have a look, the Emperor has issued a reward notice. As long as you find this item, a reward of ten thousand taels of gold will be given." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

As soon as he said this, everyone immediately broke into an uproar...

"What’s happened now?"

"Who knows?"

"Let’s go over and have a look!"

An old man stood in front of the reward notice and read it aloud.

It turned out that the gist of the notice was that last night, a Sky-piercing Thief had sneaked into the Imperial Palace and stolen the Emperor’s most beloved Pink Engraved Porcelain Vase.

The notice included an image of the Pink Engraved Porcelain Vase. If someone found it and handed it over to the government office, once authenticated, they would receive a reward of ten thousand taels of gold.

"Wow! This thief must be incredible. The palace is heavily guarded, yet they managed to break in and steal the Emperor’s treasure."

"That’s why they’re called the Sky-piercing Thief."

"Since it was taken by a Sky-piercing Thief, how could we possibly retrieve it? Isn’t the Emperor’s notice a waste of effort?"

"Right, we don’t have the ability to snatch something back from the Sky-piercing Thief."

As everyone talked, they walked away, believing such good fortune had nothing to do with them.

"Young lady, what are they all talking about?" Xuexue and Zi Xia walked along, hearing all the chatter and feeling very curious.

Xuexue looked up, and at a corner of the market ahead, two soldiers were standing with a notice posted behind them.

"Let’s go up and check it out." With that, Xuexue stepped forward.

"Madam Situ." The two soldiers guarding the notice recognized Xuexue and saluted her.

Xuexue: "What notice is this?"

Guard: "Responding to madam, last night a Sky-piercing Thief infiltrated the Imperial Palace and stole the Emperor’s most beloved Pink Engraved Porcelain Vase. The Emperor is furious and has issued a notice. Whoever can retrieve the treasure will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold."
