Chapter 793: Chapter 793: Each with a Mission Chapter 793: Chapter 793: Each with a Mission While other families preferred cats and dogs for guarding their hos, Bai Junjun uniquely chose an ancient plant as a protector.
However, this guardian Mosquito-eating Plant was truly exceptional, consuming snakes, insects, mice, and ants while amusing the children as well.
Being an ancient plant, it displayed no arrogance whatsoever. Bai Lingyu and Rabbit frequently caught insects to feed it, and it always responded eagerly, happy to eat whatever was offered.
Shopkeeper Qiao, influenced by the sight, also fed it a few tis and found that the Mosquito-eating Plant was not picky at all; it chewed joyfully, making Shopkeeper Qiao finally understand the joy of nurturing plants and feeling healed himself.
So, when he saw Bai Junjun pulling out the Mosquito-eating Plant to let Li Wenli take it away, Shopkeeper Qiao felt sowhat reluctant to let it go.
Of course, the main concern was that the poisonous worms of Witch Ancestor Mountain were no ordinary creatures. The mountain was infested with insects, all venomous, with toxins comparable to arsenic trioxide and carmine. It was uncertain whether the Mosquito-eating Plant could withstand such a challenge without harming the young plant.
Bai Junjun waved a hand dismissively, “Never underestimate this Mosquito-eating Plant.”
“Awoooo!” The Mosquito-eating Plant silenty opened its mouth as if completely indifferent to the so-called venomous insects.
Was its master sending it to fight foxes?
Awooo, awooo!
The excitent of the Mosquito-eating Plant was visibly palpable.
“…” Everyone was speechless.
And so, reluctantly, everyone watched as the Mosquito-eating Plant left, yet the plant itself did not seem to feel their reluctance; it excitedly waved its leaves at everyone, showing no sign of attachnt as it departed.
…
Speaking of which, this was the first ti they had separated since eting in Fubo City.
The three siblings, Bai Junjun, were all imrsed in the sorrow of parting.
However, not long after Li Wenli and Ah Dao had left, Dian Hong showed up.
Bai Junjun was surprised, “Why has Miss Dian Hong co here?”
“Prince Hanying invites you. Miss Bai and Young Master Li, please co to the Prince’s Mansion.”
“Alright, let’s go,” Bai Junjun nodded and headed straight out.
By this ti, Dian Hong had beco accustod to Bai Junjun’s casual manner. Given the major incident at the mansion, their prompt arrival was indeed for the best.
But soon, Dian Hong noticed sothing was amiss, “Uh, where is Young Master Li?”
After all, His Highness had instructed her to bring Bai Junjun and Li Wenli to him as quickly as possible for a discussion.
Having only Miss Bai agree to co seed a bit improper.
Bai Junjun shrugged indifferently, “He had to leave for so business, but it’s the sa if I go alone.”
“Uh… okay then.” Dian Hong was helpless.
When Bai Junjun arrived at the Prince’s Mansion, she saw the living room filled with various officials and governnt officers.
Presumably, these were the foremost criminal investigators of the Imperial Capital, all gathered for the sa issue.
However, it was odd that everyone was in the hall, but Yuwen Luanfei was nowhere to be seen.
At that mont, those waiting to be received looked curiously at a young girl entering.
But when they recognized that she was accompanied by Miss Dian Hong, they were reassured.
They assud she must be a close confidante of the Princess Consort, not involved in their proceedings.
Convinced they understood the situation, they paid her no further mind.
But Dian Hong, nevertheless, led Bai Junjun directly to the study.
At that mont, Yuwen Luanfei was in the study listening to the investigative report from the Imperial Guard and constables. He was deeply frustrated when Bai Junjun arrived.
Because Bai Junjun’s team had cracked Fahua Temple and Thousand Miles Headquarters, Yuwen Luanfei’s reliance on them was almost helpless.
So even amidst his gloomy frustrations, seeing Bai Junjun instantly brought a joyful smile to his face.
“Miss Junjun, you’ve arrived! Eh, where is Brother Wenli?”
“He had to travel far for so business.”
