"Fang Yanjun?" Shen Yi was startled and immediately knew who Ming Xi was talking about.
Ming Xi raised his eyebrows, "It seems that Lord Shen knows him."
"Send it to Young Master tonight." Shen Yi said in a low voice.
Oh, it seemed that the Fang Family also had people from the Secret Guard Institute. However, it was unknown whether this person was his father's or Murong Ke's.
Shen Yi naturally didn't resign to do business in the Wasteland. In the eyes of outsiders, he was a merchant. In fact, he had changed the entire Smiling Daughter Tower. They were all his secret guards. He actually didn't know what he was going to do in the Wasteland. He only knew that it was to protect Ming Xi.
"Don't let Tengyuan find you." Ming Xi said, "Be careful what you say in the Thousand Floor Tower. When you bought this shop, did you check the background of the other party?"
"Yes. He was a prisoner of war who wanted to return to the Dark North Kingdom." Shen Yi said in a low voice, "If I didn't come to the Wasteland City, I wouldn't have known. It's different from what everyone thinks."
Ming Xi nodded lightly, "What else did the Emperor want you to do besides protecting me?"
"He wanted me to listen to your orders." Shen Yi said. He was absolutely obedient to Ming Xi, not only because of Ming Xi's identity, but also because he knew that Ming Xi was different from other children.
"That's good." Ming Xi smiled in satisfaction. It seemed that Sixth Uncle trusted him.
"We should go." Ming Xi stood up. There were still people following them outside. If they stayed here for too long, they would be suspected.
Shen Yi handed a box to Ming Xi, "If we don't take something, we will be suspected."
Xu Jin Bei stepped forward and took the box.
The four of them left the shop and continued to stroll around the Wasteland City like tourists. Then they came to the Thousand Floor Tower.
When the shopkeeper from yesterday saw Ming Xi and the others, his eyes suddenly lit up and he politely welcomed them in.
On the second floor, Ming Xi immediately saw Tengye sitting by the window.
"Young Master, this way please." The shopkeeper led them to another table by the window, next to Tengye's.
"Our Young Master doesn't like to sit by the window." Xu Jinbei frowned.
Ming Xi raised his hand, "It's okay to look down from here."
"Young Master, you have been out for a few days. You should go back. What is there to see in this Wasteland City?" Xu Jinbei whispered.
"I think it's pretty good," Shang'er said. She had bought a lot of snacks on the street today, so she wasn't afraid of running out of food.
Fire Phoenix looked at Xu Jinbei and said, "It's rare for him to come out, so you don't have to be so strict. It's not like the old master can't see it."
"That's not what I meant." Xu Jinbei shouted anxiously, raising his voice, "When Young Master left Qinghe City, he didn't say anything. What if Old Master and Old Master were worried?"
"They know that I'll be fine." Ming Xi glanced at Xu Jinbei indifferently.
"Young Master …" Xu Jinbei still wanted to persuade him, but because Ming Xi's face had darkened, he could only lower his head in silence.
To the side, the shopkeeper was startled by the aura that Ming Xi instantly displayed. He thought to himself, how old is this child? To actually have such an imposing aura without being angry, what will he be like when he grows up?
"Serve the dishes." Fire Phoenix said to the shopkeeper.
"Alright." The shopkeeper cupped his hands, glanced at Ming Xi, and left with his head lowered.
Teng Ye, who had been sitting beside them, had his back facing Ming Xi. He had been listening to Ming Xi's words. Just now, when these people entered the door, he had already noticed the youth wearing a silk coat walking at the front. He had only seen the Fang family's old master, who was now the dean of the Fang family's academy. He had never seen the Fang family's young master before, but he had heard that Fang Yunsong loved this grandson very much. He practically taught him hand in hand, and the way he taught him was different from how he used to teach his son.
Was this youth Fang Yanjun?
"Qinghe City!" Tang Deren, who was sitting beside Teng Ye, reminded him with his mouth. Just now, the manservant had mentioned Qinghe City.
Teng Ye was silent. He put down the wine cup in his hand and said to Tang Deren, "I'm full, so I'll leave first."
"Ah? So fast? "Tang Deren was stunned.
"En." Teng Ye glanced at him and was already walking downstairs.
Soon, Tang Deren followed suit.
"Does he believe that you're Fang Yanjun?" Fire Phoenix asked with a smile.
"No." Ming Xi looked down at Teng Ye who was walking out of the inn, "He will definitely think of a way to test us."
Fire Phoenix snorted, "If I had known earlier, I would have killed this Teng Ye back in the capital."
"Would no one rebel if I killed him?" Ming Xi asked in return, "Don't act rashly. It's more important to catch the person behind him."
Since they were already in Wasteland City, if they didn't catch them all in one fell swoop, then it would be a waste of their efforts.
"What if he sent someone to the Fang family to find out that the Fang family's young master didn't leave the city at all? Then wouldn't we be exposed?" Shang'er blinked and asked.
"Then let's make sure Fang Yanjun isn't in the Fang family." Ming Xi said in a low voice.
Fire Phoenix was stunned, "You have a way?"
"No." Ming Xi smiled faintly, "As long as others have a way."
"Someone is coming up." Xu Jinbei reminded, "If we talk like this, others will hear us."
Fire Phoenix smiled faintly and purposely raised her voice, "No one can hear a word we say."
Xu Jinbei was startled by Fire Phoenix. He hurriedly looked back and found that no one seemed to hear them. Only then did he relax, but he was even more surprised by Fire Phoenix's background.
"Don't scare him." Ming Xi helplessly said.
"I'm not scaring him, I'm just telling this child not to make a fuss." Fire Phoenix said with a smile.
Xu Jinbei unhappily said, "You're younger than me, yet you say I'm a child."
"I'm younger than you?" Fire Phoenix smiled.
"Alright." Ming Xi stopped Fire Phoenix from continuing to trick Xu Jinbei, "Let's go to Clear River City tonight."
"Oh." Fire Phoenix nodded, "Then I'll need Shang'er's help."
Ming Xi's Sea of Qi was restricted, so he couldn't travel back and forth between Clear River City and Wasteland City in one night.
Xu Jinbei was so scared that he couldn't speak. What were they talking about? He couldn't understand.
"You guys ….. want to go to Clear River City? When do you plan on coming back?" Xu Jinbei asked with a pale face.
"En, we're just saying." They forgot that Xu Jinbei didn't know about Shang'er's past. If he knew that they were coming back and forth that day, he would definitely be scared.
They should take advantage of Xu Jinbei's sleep to quietly leave.
Xu Jinbei felt that they weren't just saying. He had already seen Fire Phoenix display a skill that he had never seen before. It was different from the street performance of spitting fire. It wasn't an acrobatic skill, but a truly magical skill.
At this time, the innkeeper delivered the dishes.
Xu Jinbei didn't continue to struggle and Ming Xi didn't bring it up again.
After they finished eating, they left the inn. When they were about to leave, a person walked towards them. Fire Phoenix accidentally bumped into him, causing the package in that person's hand to fall. With a 'clang' sound, it seemed like something had broken.
"My family heirloom ….." That person's face paled as he wailed and knelt on the ground.
