Of course Long Fei Ye had his suspicions!
When he saw Han Yunxi's magnanimous eyes and heard her question, he didn't feel relieved. Instead, the complicated look in his eyes deepened.
This was the first time Han Yunxi had seen this fellow so preoccupied.
Han Yunxi didn't have any ambitions to revive the imperial clan. Moreover, Long Fei Ye wasn't Tianning's emperor. If she really was, she wouldn't be a threat to him at all. Perhaps she could even be of help to him.
She thought that Long Fei Ye would be very interested, but Long Fei Ye only said mildly, "Perhaps he's here for the poison beast."
"As I see it, it doesn't seem like it," Han Yunxi said seriously.
But Long Fei Ye didn't seem to want to continue this topic. He avoided it and asked, "What are you doing here?"
She'd brought Lil Thing here to eat and eat, and for the sake of the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion.
"To find a few medicinal plants," Han Yunxi replied mildly.
"Did you find them?" Long Fei Ye asked again.
"Mm." Han Yunxi nodded.
It was as if their previous quarrel had never happened. The two of them spoke naturally and unknowingly fell into silence.
After a long time, Han Yunxi spoke up first. "That Aunt Ru is …"
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye didn't hide anything and replied directly, "My mother's younger sister."
So she really was his biological aunt. No wonder she dared to lecture Long Fei Ye.
"She's also from the Tang Clan?" Han Yunxi asked again.
"Second Master, Tang Li's father is the clan head," Long Fei Ye replied mildly.
"Your father is also from the Tang Clan?" Han Yunxi asked again.
This time, a trace of hesitation flashed past Long Fei Ye's eyes. Unfortunately, Han Yunxi didn't see it.
Long Fei Ye nodded. "Yes."
Han Yunxi actually believed her just like that. She thought that this was right. The Tang Family's women didn't marry outside the family.
Was this fellow in a good mood today, or was there something wrong? He actually answered every question.
Between them, it was really rare for them to chat so calmly.
Han Yunxi seized this opportunity and threw out a few more questions. Although Long Fei Ye was a man of few words, he still answered her questions one by one.
"The Perplexing Butterfly Illusion belongs to the Poison Sect?"
"Yes.
"Perplexing Butterfly Illusion is related to the Tang Sect's poison techniques, right?"
"Yes."
"Could the decline of the Tang Sect's poison arts be related to the destruction of the medical academy's Poison Sect?"
"A little."
"You … want to obtain the Poison Sect's power? Revive the Tang Sect's poison techniques? "
"… Yeah."
Han Yunxi asked a question that had nothing to do with the previous one. She lifted her head to look at him, her eyes as clear as ever. "Long Fei Ye, why did you save Duanmu Yao?"
Long Fei Ye didn't expect this at all. Looking at her, he unconsciously stopped in his tracks.
"Hm?" Han Yunxi stared into his eyes as if she wanted to see right through him.
Long Fei Ye also looked at her, his lips pursed as if he was hesitating. Han Yunxi didn't press him for an answer. She waited.
She'd already answered all the questions she hadn't answered because of their fight. Shouldn't he give her an explanation about Duanmu Yao?
Even if he didn't, he should at least answer her questions.
Their eyes met, but Long Fei Ye remained silent even after Aunt Ru caught up to them.
No explanation, not even a perfunctory answer.
When Aunt Ru saw them like this, she urged, "Why aren't you leaving?"
In the end, Long Fei Ye didn't give her an answer. He avoided Han Yunxi's gaze and continued forward.
Han Yunxi didn't ask any more questions. She looked at his intertwined fingers and didn't try to break free. Instead, a cold smile rose to her lips.
Long Fei Ye, you said I provoked you. But between the two of us, who's the one who provoked who more?
After leaving the secret passage, they found that it was a sunny day outside. The forest was very quiet in the afternoon, and they were lucky to have avoided the night insects.
Han Yunxi didn't look for Gu Beiyue and the others. Lil Thing had saved Gu, so the two of them should be safe now. Perhaps they'd already left this place.
She didn't bat an eyelid as she allowed Long Fei Ye to bring her back to the inn. It was the same inn as before, the Sky Room number one.
Aunt Ru followed them inside and looked around. It wasn't clear what she was interrogating, but after looking around, she said, "Ye 'er, come with me for a bit."
Han Yunxi could tell that she was avoiding her. She took the initiative to say, "I'm going back to the medical academy."
"No need. Come back to Tianning with this prince first thing in the morning tomorrow," Long Fei Ye said domineeringly.
"I still have things to do." Han Yunxi's tone was especially calm. She'd never spoken so calmly to this fellow before.
"What is it?" Long Fei Ye asked.
"Pack my luggage. My things are still there," Han Yunxi replied. She had a lot of things to do!
"I'll have the servants clean it up later. You should rest first." Long Fei Ye hesitated, then added, "I'll be right next door."
Han Yunxi didn't care where he was. Her expression was serious. "I like to pack my things myself. There's also a lot of medicinal ingredients that the servants won't understand."
Long Fei Ye was about to go with her when Tang Li's pained cries came from next door. Long Fei Ye couldn't help but frown as he looked towards Aunt Ru.
"I'll wait for you next door." Aunt Ru smiled. Without a word, she turned and left.
"Someone come, escort the princess consort to the medical academy. Go and come back quickly!" Long Fei Ye couldn't be bothered with Han Yunxi right now as he hurriedly chased after Aunt Ru.
Very soon, Tang Li's cries rose again as if he'd been badly abused!
Han Yunxi was bewildered. It looked like Aunt Ru had done something to Tang Li.
Of course, she didn't have the spare energy to pay attention to these matters. She looked meaningfully at the imperial guard. "You want to go to the medical academy with me?"
This guard was the one who'd been scolded by Han Yunxi before. He trembled with fear as he nodded. "This subordinate will escort niang niang there."
"Mm, then I'll have to trouble you." Han Yunxi was very polite.
The guard only felt a chill run down his back. He didn't know how to reply when Han Yunxi's hand reached out towards his face. It looked like she was going to tease him by the chin.
The guard was frightened and backed away. "Esteemed wangfei, don't …"
"Don't what?" Han Yunxi faintly smiled and snapped her fingers. The guard's eyes rolled back as he leaned against the wall behind him and slowly fell to the ground.
Drugging an unsuspecting person was as easy as flipping her hand for Han Yunxi.
She took out the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion and placed it on the table. Amidst the continuous cries coming from next door, she strode out …
In the next room, Tang Li had been tied to the bed for four whole days.
He was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back, but that wasn't important. What was important was that he really wanted to go to the outhouse. He'd already reached his limit!
"Aunt Ru, I've said everything I needed to say. Just let me go!"
"Long Fei Ye is right here. If there's anything you need, just ask him directly. Why are you tormenting me?"
"Aunt Ru, if you don't let me go, I'll definitely complain to my mother when I get back!"
"Ah … I can't take it anymore!"
… …
Aunt Ru allowed Tang Li to clamor and scream as she sat by the bed calmly. She smiled and said, "You said that girl's poison skills are only so-so?"
Tang Li glanced at Long Fei Ye from the corner of his eye. He didn't dare to answer for a long time.
He originally wanted to go to the poisonous herb storage with Long Fei Ye, but who knew that Long Fei Ye would go crazy and leave early, leaving him to oversleep in the inn and get caught red-handed by Aunt Ru.
The moment Aunt Ru arrived, she tied him up and interrogated him about Han Yunxi. He had basically reduced Han Yunxi to a source of trouble.
"You said that she's spoiled and unreasonable, and likes to throw tantrums?" Aunt Ru asked again.
The corner of Tang Li's mouth twitched. He even forgot to go to the outhouse and didn't say anything.
"You said that she's a source of trouble, and that Ye 'er is head over heels for her? Ye 'er gave her the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion? "Aunt Ru asked again.
Tang Li really wanted to see Long Fei Ye's expression right now. Unfortunately, he didn't dare.
"You also said that she's a fickle woman who has hooked up with many men?"
Aunt Ru laughed, but Tang Li almost cried. This was because Long Fei Ye had already walked in front of him. That handsome face of his was covered in dark clouds. It was so dark that it was frightening!
He slowly leaned forward. His cold face that angered both men and gods was almost touching Tang Li's face. He asked word by word, "What else did you say?"
Tang Li's back was drenched in cold sweat. His lips were tightly pursed, and he didn't dare to speak.
Long Fei Ye got closer and closer. He tilted his head and whispered into Tang Li's ear, "About the Shadow Clan …"
Before he could finish, Tang Li immediately denied it. "No!"
It was because of the Shadow Clan that he had slandered Han Yunxi in front of Aunt Ru.
If Han Yunxi was really the person that the Shadow Clan wanted to protect, then it was destined that Han Yunxi would be irreconcilable with them forever. Long Fei Ye would have to abandon this woman.
That day at the medical school, he had personally witnessed Long Fei Ye's abnormality. He had almost taken Han Yunxi. However, when faced with that white robe, he had finally calmed down. Faced with Han Yunxi's questioning, he hadn't explained anything about Duanmu Yao.
Tang Li knew that Long Fei Ye was still hesitant about Han Yunxi.
They had grown up together. He knew very well that Long Fei Ye was the kind of person who wouldn't easily pick up something. However, once he picked it up, he definitely wouldn't let it go. If he was determined to take it, he definitely wouldn't abandon it.
He had to stop everything from happening while Long Fei Ye was still hesitating.
And Aunt Ru had come at the right time.
Of course, he didn't reveal the Shadow Clan. Otherwise, with Aunt Ru's personality, who would rather kill the wrong person than miss out, Han Yunxi would undoubtedly die!
Seeing Long Fei Ye and Tang Li whispering in each other's ears, Aunt Ru wasn't happy. She smiled and said, "What are you two brothers whispering about that you can't let me know?"
Long Fei Ye didn't answer. Of course, Tang Li didn't dare to answer either.
"Could it be that Han Yunxi has some secret that you can't let me know?" Aunt Ru pretended to be joking as she asked.
At this time, Long Fei Ye finally stood up. He didn't answer Aunt Ru and personally untied Tang Li.
Aunt Ru stretched out a hand and fiercely pressed down on Tang Li's body. She coldly said, "What's the rush?"
"He's going to die from holding it in. Are you going to pay for my aunt's son?" Long Fei Ye asked indifferently.
Tang Li's mother, who was also the wife of the Tang Sect's sect master, was famous for doting on her son. Otherwise, why would Tang Li run away from home for so long?
If it were in the past, Aunt Ru would have given in. As his elder sister, she was still rather wary of her sister-in-law. But this time, she didn't. She had seen how well Ye 'er treated Han Yunxi in the past three or four days. This wasn't a small matter.
She admitted that Han Yunxi had the right to stay by Ye 'er's side, but her background had to be investigated thoroughly.
"Tang Li, where did Han Yunxi learn her poison techniques?" Aunt Ru was asking Tang Li, but her cold gaze was fixed on Long Fei Ye.
