Seeing the puzzled look on Xia Chongyun’s face, Yan Xiu hesitated for a mont, but finally made a bold guess.
"Crown Prince, do you think it’s possible that the Third Prince has an artifact that can accommodate living people?"
"An artifact that can accommodate living people?"
Xia Chongyun’s pupils constricted slightly, looking at Yan Xiu with so shock.
Yan Xiu nodded gravely, "Indeed, an artifact that can accommodate living people. Otherwise, there’s really no way to explain the disappearance of those two people."
After a brief pause, Yan Xiu continued,
"However, I think that the owner of this artifact is not the Third Prince, but rather Zhu Fei or Ji Xuanyue."
"After all, such an artifact is extraordinary. If it were to appear, it would definitely cause a sensation across the entire Xuanhuang Continent. They would never reveal such a thing unless absolutely necessary."
The more Yan Xiu spoke, the more he believed in this possibility, while Xia Chongyun also beca increasingly shocked as he listened.
Inadvertently, their gazes collided, each seeing a deep desire in the other’s eyes.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Chongyun then said with utmost severity,
"Manager Yan, this matter is of great importance, and must not be known by a third person besides you and . Anyone who might guess this..."
Speaking thus, a harsh and murderous look flashed in Xia Chongyun’s eyes, he continued to Yan Xiu, "Leave no one alive!"
After a brief pause, Xia Chongyun then said, "Pass my order to halt all overt searches for Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue. Everything related must be moved underground."
"Additionally, send a ssage to my younger brother, telling him to return to the Great Xia Imperial Palace imdiately. Tell him that our father has important matters and needs to personally inquire about them."
"Yes! Your servant obeys!"
After hearing Xia Chongyun’s instructions, Yan Xiu promptly responded respectfully and then conversed briefly about matters related to the Shushan Sword Sect before slowly exiting.
...
In a deep forest, Xia Chongxuan looked at Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue whom he had brought out, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly,
"The two of you, I can only help you up to this point. From here on, you’ll have to rely on yourselves."
After a short pause, Xia Chongxuan continued, "As for Fairy Xuan Yue’s item, I think with my older brother and Manager Yan’s intelligence, it likely won’t stay hidden for long. You should be prepared."
"Hehe, no matter what, we owe a lot to the Third Prince for his help this ti. Rest assured, going forward Zhu Fei and I know what we should do."
As soon as Xia Chongxuan finished speaking, before Zhu Fei could say anything, Ji Xuanyue had already taken the lead with a smile.
Xia Chongxuan smiled bitterly and nodded, then looked at Zhu Fei and cupped his fist, saying,
"In that case, take care Brother Zhu. I will leave now, and if fate allows, we shall et again."
"Mm, no need for thanks, Brother Chongxuan, take care as well."
Zhu Fei also cupped his fist towards Xia Chongxuan, his tone extrely sincere.
"Alright! Then, we’ll et again if the chance arises."
"Mm, until next ti."
With that, Xia Chongxuan no longer hesitated, his figure flashed, and he quickly disappeared into the dense forest.
Watching the disappearing figure of Xia Chongxuan, Zhu Fei turned his head to look at Ji Xuanyue with a complex expression and couldn’t help but ask,
"Fairy Xuan Yue, what are your plans going forward?"
Ji Xuanyue elegantly brushed aside a lock of hair by her ear and couldn’t help but give Zhu Fei a slightly irritated glare.
"What do you think I can possibly plan now? I was injured before, almost damaged at the core, and my strength isn’t even one-tenth of what it was at full power. Given our current situation, what else could a weak woman like possibly do?"
"So, you an that you are planning to follow ? Or rather, you want to take you with ?"
Zhu Fei slightly furrowed his brows, asking with a touch of suspicion.
"What? You don’t want to? Or do you have so other idea?"
Ji Xuanyue’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her expression turning sowhat wary as she looked at Zhu Fei.
Zhu Fei nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders, jokingly said, "You just said it yourself, your strength is not even one-tenth of your peak, don’t you think this would be the perfect opportunity for to take advantage of you?"
Ji Xuanyue’s face also feigned a slight change as she couldn’t help but snort coldly, "Hmph! If you, Zhu Fei, really are that kind of person, then I, Ji Xuanyue, must be blind. If that’s what you want, then co at ."
After speaking, Ji Xuanyue actually closed her eyes, deliberately adopting a resigned deanor.
Zhu Fei was imdiately speechless; right then, he was too lazy to beat around the bush with Ji Xuanyue any longer and directly said,
"You can follow , but let be clear, don’t play any tricks with . I really dislike that kind of thing. Furthermore..."
"Alright, alright, I understand all that you’re saying. Don’t worry, I know what to do by your side, okay?"
Ji Xuanyue didn’t let Zhu Fei finish his sentence and sowhat irritably interrupted him, then feigned impatience.
"Good, that’s best."
Zhu Fei nodded his head, and no longer bickering with Ji Xuanyue, his feet lit up with Escape Light as he prepared to fly off into the distance.
Seeing this, Ji Xuanyue felt a sudden urgency in her heart, reflexively saying, "Hey, Zhu Fei, didn’t you hear what I just said? I... right now..."
"Damn! You talk too much!"
This ti, before Ji Xuanyue could finish her sentence, Zhu Fei directly scooped up Ji Xuanyue’s delicate body and instantly flew off towards the distant sky.
"Zhu Fei! You bastard!"
In the sky, Ji Xuanyue’s sowhat exasperated voice suddenly rang out, but the figures of the two had already completely vanished from the sky following Ji Xuanyue’s outcry.
...
Several days later, Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue appeared in a place called Heavenly Star City.
This city was under the domain of the Eighth Grade Tianxing Sect.
Although the Great Xia Dynasty was considered a top-tier Eighth Grade power across the Xuanhuang Continent, their influence couldn’t extend that far into Heavenly Star City, hence Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue experienced less tension than during their earlier days.
At that mont, the two sat down in a teahouse and soon overheared so people’s discussions, which imdiately caught Zhu Fei’s attention.
"Hey, have you heard? In a few days, the Beihai Auction is going to be held here in our Heavenly Star City?" a man with a goatee suddenly asked the flat-headed man sitting opposite him.
The flat-headed man nodded his head, "How could I not have heard? I heard that this auction will have many treasures for sale, among which I know there will be a top-grade flying True Artifact and a Nine-Colored Lotus up for auction..."
Nine-Colored Lotus?
Upon hearing these three words, Zhu Fei’s heart stirred.
There was no other reason but the fact that this Nine-Colored Lotus was the main Spiritual dicine needed for refining Returning Void Pills.
Till now, his collection of ingredients for the Returning Void Pill just happened to be missing this Nine-Colored Lotus.
He hadn’t expected to get news about the Nine-Colored Lotus imdiately upon arriving in Heavenly Star City.
"What? Are you interested in that Northern Seas Auction too?"
At that mont, Ji Xuanyue seed to notice sothing unusual about Zhu Fei, and she couldn’t help looking at him curiously, asking.
