Chapter 15 Master Huo Yi
```
Eunuch Kang Ning became anxious over the past two days, and despite not being able to pry any news from the little eunuch under Eunuch Ho Sheng's command, he decided not to pursue the matter further, indicating that the situation had passed.
However, his disciple Yu Lihuai couldn't have died in vain.
Whether it was the Fourth Prince or that Commandery Princess from Xingqing Hall, he naturally couldn't investigate the matter openly.
Eunuch Kang Ning thought of someone—Mage Huo Yi.
Regarding Mage Huo Yi, some in Nanzheng State revered him as almost divine, like the Empress, for whom Mage Huo Yi's words held even more sway than the Sovereign's. Eunuch Kang Ning had personally witnessed Mage Huo Yi's proficiency in the Mystical Arts and could not help but believe in his abilities.
Of course, Mage Huo Yi would not deign to concern himself with him. Even as the Chief Eunuch of the Bushou Palace, Kang Ning was nothing in the eyes of Mage Huo Yi. However, Eunuch Kang Ning was no pushover; to plant his own spies in the Empress's Palace, he had gone to great lengths to bribe a disciple of Mage Huo Yi. Although this disciple was not favored, he possessed a skill unmatched by others.
That night, Eunuch Kang Ning met the Disciple of Chang Zhen in a secluded offering hall within the Dharma Temple. The Dharma Temple was a special construction on the west side of the Imperial Palace built by the Empress to accommodate Mage Huo Yi's prolonged stay for prayer on behalf of the Sovereign. The temple was modeled after the Xiongji Hall within the Imperial Palace. Every grass and tree, every brick and tile had a story, consecrated with a Divine Monarch brought from Six Auspicious He Lake over the course of a thousand li.
Eunuch Kang Ning usually did not wish to deal with these people, but having experienced their capabilities, he knew that the disciple he had bribed excelled in "searching."
