"Hahaha... can’t wait any longer to make a move against ?"
Upon hearing the old man with yellow hair’s hint, the Fourth Prince, exceptionally intelligent, naturally knew who was targeting him. He imdiately closed his eyes slightly and laughed, shaking his head.
"Your Highness, if that’s really the case, how should we respond?" the old man with yellow hair asked.
The Fourth Prince pursed his lips and said, "If we’ve been bullied, we ought to show so reaction. Today, I lost over a dozen close aides. At the very least, those murderers, regardless of whose n they are, once identified, must be executed!"
"As you command."
...
Qin Tian returned to Feili Xue’s residence with the Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Pill.
At this mont, Feili Xue was already waiting for him in the room. When she saw him return, her tense expression finally relaxed.
"So, did you get what you needed?"
Feili Xue glanced Qin Tian up and down, noticing he was unhard, and she was quite pleased.
Qin Tian took out the solid gold box from his storage bag and handed it to Feili Xue, "Take a look... I still owe you a favor."
Feili Xue gave Qin Tian a look and opened the solid gold box. Indeed, she saw the Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Pill she had been dreaming of, and imdiately wore a surprised expression, looking at Qin Tian and saying, "Qin Tian, how did you do it? The Fourth Prince’s secret courtyard, even the State Preceptor was held back, yet you managed to get in?"
"Not only did you get in, but you actually brought back the Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Pill. You’re incredible!"
After so praise, Feili Xue didn’t see any hint of pride on Qin Tian’s face. Instead, his expression was complex.
Feili Xue took the initiative to ask, "From the beginning until you ca out, did the Fourth Prince’s people not notice you?"
"They did. There was even a fight."
"Really? I’ve heard that the Fourth Prince’s courtyard is full of mysterious top experts. You fought with them and ca out unscathed?"
"Yes. Got lucky."
Qin Tian said, forcing a wry smile, and then, with utmost seriousness, looked at Feili Xue and said, "Teacher Fei, I need to ask you a very serious question right now. Please answer honestly."
Seeing Qin Tian’s extrely serious expression, Feili Xue knitted her brows slightly, pursed her lips, and said, "What question, go ahead."
"The fact that you told to go to the Fourth Prince’s courtyard to steal the Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Pill, was it your conspiracy?"
"Conspiracy?"
Hearing Qin Tian’s words, Feili Xue’s face showed surprise and said, "Qin Tian, why would you say that? What conspiracy?"
"Hmph, is it fun to play like this?"
Qin Tian grinned and said, "Even now, you’re not willing to tell the truth?"
Feili Xue earnestly stared at Qin Tian and said, "Qin Tian, what’s wrong with you? Why are you suddenly asking this absurd question?"
Qin Tian said, "This question is not absurd. Let tell you, when I went to the Fourth Prince’s courtyard to steal the Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Pill, soone inford the Fourth Prince’s people."
"When I was in the Fourth Prince’s secret chamber, everything went smoothly, and no one noticed my whereabouts. But in less than ten minutes, all the Fourth Prince’s people arrived. I heard them say that soone inford them there was an assassin in the Fourth Prince’s bedroom."
Saying this, Qin Tian smiled, his eyes gazing deeply at Feili Xue and said, "The matter of going to the Fourth Prince’s courtyard, only you and I know. I want to ask, how did the Fourth Prince’s people find out about this news?"
"Qin Tian... are you suspecting of leaking the information?"
Feili Xue gave a bitter smile and said, "What would be my purpose? To leak the information to harm you? If I wanted to harm you, did I really have to let you go to the Fourth Prince’s secret chamber and then fra you? I could just poison you to death, couldn’t I?"
"Qin Tian, you don’t trust that much?"
Feili Xue looked seriously at Qin Tian and shook her head, saying, "I told you, you are soone I trust, but in the end, in your eyes, I am still soone untrustworthy... hehe."
Feili Xue looked sowhat hurt, her eyes a little red.
Seeing this scene and hearing Feili Xue’s words, Qin Tian thought carefully and realized that Feili Xue indeed wouldn’t need such a thod to harm him. She had countless ways to kill him.
"Could it be that our conversation was overheard by her servants in her courtyard? Walls have ears?"
Thinking carefully, it indeed seed possible. The Imperial City is so complex, and having soone plant undercover agents around Feili Xue isn’t surprising.
"I’m sorry, Teacher Fei, I got emotional earlier and misunderstood you. I apologize, please forgive ."
Seeing Feili Xue feeling wronged, her eyes slightly red, Qin Tian could only apologize, persuading her for quite so ti before Feili Xue finally cald down.
She said to Qin Tian, "I will give you the Immortal Pill tomorrow, I managed to make a total of twelve pills."
"Twelve pills, so many?"
Hearing this, Qin Tian was overjoyed.
He had previously seen in the "Xuanming dicine Book" that crafting eight to twelve pills from one Immortal Divine Beast was already impressive.
Unexpectedly, Feili Xue managed to craft twelve pills. She indeed was one of the empire’s top alchemists.
"You should rest early, I’ll be off now, I’ll deliver the elixir to you tomorrow."
Feili Xue said her farewell and left.
Qin Tian could see that Feili Xue had been affected by his misunderstanding, her mood remained low and sorrowful.
"I’m sorry, Teacher Fei, please be magnanimous and overlook my mistake."
Qin Tian apologized again to Feili Xue’s departing figure, only to see her gently wiping her eyes as she left through the door.
She was crying.
Indeed, Feili Xue was crying. Originally, she wanted to stay in Qin Tian’s room a while longer, but she really couldn’t hold it back any longer. She felt truly unable to face Qin Tian, so she left.
As she left, hearing Qin Tian’s apologetic voice, her heart ached even more, tears couldn’t be held back, directly streaming down.
She left the residence and hurriedly made her way to a secluded courtyard in the East, quietly entering.
Once inside, Feili Xue made her way familiarly to the back yard’s side room and entered the room.
At this mont, the entire courtyard was without light.
The room too was dark.
This was a room with two connected chambers. Standing outside, Feili Xue could clearly sense that there was a person inside the inner chamber.
"Did you get it?" Once Feili Xue entered the room, the voice from inside the chamber reached out.
It was a man’s voice.
"Yes." Feili Xue nodded, then asked in return, "Did you succeed?"
"Succeeded. The Fourth Prince lost dozens of n, severely wounded in Primordial Energy. We won a great victory."
Even when speaking of such a victory, the man’s tone remained calm, seemingly without any emotion, "Able to obtain the Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Pill and return unhard, it seems this Qin Hou is indeed as formidable as the rumors say."
Feili Xue stood outside, emotionally low, and said softly, "Just this once, the only ti, I will never use him again. Don’t harbor any designs against him either, or do anything to harm him. I, Feili Xue, will absolutely not cooperate..."
