As soon as he received the news from the City of Daughters, Tang Li had immediately rushed over to Long Fei Ye to report the news.
Once the bounty had been announced, the amount of news he'd received was even greater than the number of bounties posted. Tang Li had already filtered out most of the false information, otherwise, Long Fei Ye would definitely be deceived in his crazed state.
Actually, Tang Li had been conflicted for a long time. If Han Yunxi disappeared just like that, it might not be a bad thing for Long Fei Ye.
He almost wanted to go find Han Yunxi himself, but he didn't know what to do if he did find Han Yunxi. After much consideration, he still reported the news.
As soon as he saw Long Fei Ye come out, he hurriedly said, "Someone saw Han Yunxi in the City of Daughters. The news can't be wrong!"
Long Fei Ye closed the door, then asked Coldly, "City of Daughters?"
"Yes, the person who delivered the letter also sent this."
Tang Li handed over a jade hairpin. It was the one Han Yunxi often wore.
Long Fei Ye gave a light snort, his eyes flashing with killing intent. Who else but Gu would be able to use this jade hairpin to report false information?
If Lil Thing hadn't exposed Han Yunxi's whereabouts, he would've gone to the City of Daughters after seeing this jade hairpin. There would definitely be an ambush there!
Gu, if you want to take this prince's life, you'll have to take care of your own little life first!
"Someone come, pass down my orders. Seal off all businesses within Tianning Country that have anything to do with the Mingxiang Teashop. Freeze all of Gu's savings in all of the banks. If you see him, kill him without mercy!" Long Fei Ye ordered.
"Yes!" The shadow guard obeyed and left.
Only then did Tang Li realize that something was wrong. He cried out in alarm, "You found Han Yunxi?"
Other than finding the person, what else could make this guy so calm after seeing Han Yunxi's jade hairpin and determine that the news was false?
Long Fei Ye did not say anything. Seeing this, Tang Li was even more certain. He wanted to push the door open and enter the room suspiciously, but he was stopped by Long Fei Ye.
"Don't disturb her, ever."
Long Fei Ye looked at Tang Li. His tone was calm, but his deep eyes were firm.
Tang Li slowly lowered his hand and furrowed his brows at Long Feiye. No matter how he tried, he couldn't figure out what the man meant.
Long Fei Ye didn't explain much. He flew under the roof and lay down with his hands behind his head.
Tang Li hurriedly caught up with him and asked seriously, "What do you mean by 'forever'? Are you planning to keep this woman by your side forever? "
Long Fei Ye didn't answer. He looked at the stars in the sky, his dark eyes even deeper than the night sky.
"Brother! There's an eighty to ninety percent chance that she's the orphan of Western Qin's imperial family! "Tang Li reminded him again.
Long Fei Ye told Tang Li about the Mu family's Mu Xin. In the end, he concluded with certainty, "Han Yunxi is a descendant of the Poison Sect. Her mother is a daughter of the Mu family, and her father is a remnant of the Poison Sect. She has nothing to do with Western Qin's imperial family."
Tang Li was very surprised. He never thought that Han Yunxi would be related to the Poison Sect.
"Even if she's a descendant of the Poison Sect, it doesn't change the fact that she's the orphan of Western Qin's imperial family. The Shadow Clan would never protect the wrong person!" Tang Li was also very certain.
After a moment of thought, he said seriously, "It's not appropriate to assume that Mu Xin is Lady Tianxin just based on the word 'Xin'. Even if Mu Xin is Lady Tianxin, the rumors of her having an affair with the Poison Sect are just rumors. They might not be true. The Shadow Clan's protection is something we saw with our own eyes! "
Seeing Long Fei Ye's indifference, Tang Li added, "Big Brother, even if she really is a descendant of the Poison Sect, I suspect that the Poison Sect is connected to Western Qin's imperial family. Otherwise, why would that Shadow Clan fellow be so familiar with the Poison Sect's Skypit?"
Tang Li's analysis was very logical. How could Long Fei Ye, with his meticulous mind, not understand this logic?
Gu and Han Yunxi's secret still needed to be verified by Mute Granny. Perhaps they could get a different truth out of her.
However, Long Fei Ye still didn't hesitate. Cold, he said, "If I say she's not, then she's not. She'll never be!"
"You!" Tang Li was furious. He finally understood that Long Fei Ye wanted to hide Han Yunxi's identity as a member of Western Qin's imperial family forever.
Whether she was or wasn't, he planned to suppress this matter forever and keep her by his side.
But how could that be possible?
Even if he agreed, the entire Tang Clan wouldn't, especially Aunt Ru!
Even if the Tang Clan compromised, what about the Shadow Clan?
The Shadow Clan had already come knocking on their door. How could they hide this matter?
What did an imperial orphan represent? It represented the noble bloodline of the imperial family, a chance for the empire to rise again!
And what would Han Yunxi think if she found out her true identity one day?
Tang Li shook his head in disbelief. "Big Brother, Aunt Wan won't agree."
The Aunt Wan Tang Li was referring to was Long Fei Ye's mother, Aunt Ru's younger sister, Tang Yiwan.
It was one thing for the living not to agree, but even a dead person wouldn't agree?
Just how much courage did Long Fei Ye have to carry on his shoulders? Just how many difficult decisions had he made these past few days behind his madness?
He was so quiet that only he knew the truth.
"Big Brother, it's just a woman. Why do you have to be so serious?" Tang Li persisted in persuading him.
He never thought that Long Fei Ye would fall into the hands of a woman one day.
That's right, it's just a woman!
After a long time, Long Feiye finally said, "But your lordship is taking it seriously."
Once that woman left, he realized how serious he was.
This was the first time Tang Li saw Long Fei Ye's helpless expression. He couldn't help but laugh helplessly.
Even Long Fei Ye, whom he admired the most, was helpless. How could he persuade him?
"Fine, fine! Keeping her by my side might actually be the safest. "
Among the Seven Noble Families of the Great Qin Empire, more than half stood on the side of the Western Qin Imperial Family. The rest were mostly neutral. Once more descendants of the Seven Noble Families knew of Han Yunxi's existence, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After a long time, Long Fei Ye stood up. His tone was terrifyingly cold. "Tang Li, think of a way to lure that white-robed man out … and kill him!"
No matter what the truth was, only when the person who knew the truth was dead would the truth never be exposed.
Tang Li nodded. "I understand."
That night, Long Feiye sat alone on the rooftop. His lonely back gave off a desolate air against the vast black skies. The stars dimmed as the moon set and the sun rose. It was only a single night, but it felt like the passage of time had passed. It had been a single night, but it felt like years had passed since then.
Han Yunxi had been waiting for Long Fei Ye in the room. She knew that Tang Li came to report her whereabouts, but she also knew that it was fake news. She originally thought that Long Fei Ye would quickly take care of things and return. Unfortunately, she unknowingly fell asleep while waiting. She unknowingly woke up several times, but she didn't see his shadow.
In the end, she was too tired and fell asleep.
Early in the morning, Han Yunxi woke up in a daze when she heard a knock on the door. She suddenly bumped into Long Fei Ye's handsome face that angered both men and gods!
Heavens, when did he come back? How long did he stare at her like that?
Long Fei Ye was a bit embarrassed and immediately retreated, pretending that nothing happened. Han Yunxi nervously touched the corner of her mouth to make sure that she wasn't drooling. Only then did she relax.
"Your Highness, the Wang Family's Fourth Young Master wishes to see you," the hidden guard reported at the door.
"Wait downstairs," Long Fei Ye replied.
He wasn't in a hurry to go downstairs. After washing up, he ordered breakfast and finished eating with Han Yunxi in the room. Only then did he instruct Han Yunxi, "Tidy up and prepare to go back. I'll wait for you downstairs."
Han Yunxi obediently nodded, not taking the matter of the Wang Family's request to see her to heart.
However, when she finished tidying up and walked out of the room, she saw Long Fei Ye and a white-clothed young master sitting across from each other in the main hall downstairs.
That white-clothed young master looked cultured and refined. His innate scholarly aura made people feel very comfortable.
Long Fei Ye was on good terms with the Wang Family, but he'd only seen Duke Wang. Why had this Fourth Young Master come?
Han Yunxi was curious, but didn't care. She was about to go downstairs when the Fourth Young Master rose to his feet and handed a gold card to Long Fei Ye.
This gold card … looks so familiar! Didn't I lose it in Medical City? Why is it in the Wang Family's Fourth Young Master's hands? Could it be that he'd picked it up?
If he picked it up, just spend it. What's the point of bringing it back?
Han Yunxi's mouth twitched as she walked down the stairs step by step, her steps exceptionally slow.
By now, Long Fei Ye had already risen to his feet.
Wang Shuchen quickly followed suit. Today, he'd come to return the gold card and tell Chu Qingge that it wasn't a good idea to keep her waiting like an idiot.
Long Fei Ye knew the whole story of Lil Thing's sale, so Wang Shuchen didn't say much. Instead, he smiled and said, "Your Highness, Miss Chu is still waiting at the meeting hall. Why don't you go over?"
"Have her wait."
Long Fei Ye accepted the gold card and turned to leave, leaving Wang Shuchen standing there in shock.
Should she wait, or not?
When Long Fei Ye saw Han Yunxi still standing by the stairs, he beckoned her over. "Still not coming over?"
Han Yunxi's heart pounded as she walked over. As expected, Long Fei Ye immediately handed her the gold card and asked, "You don't want it anymore?"
"When did I lose it? I didn't even know …" Han Yunxi feigned ignorance.
Long Fei Ye's eyes flashed with helplessness. This woman really was stupid. She didn't even know that she was raising a poison beast that could swallow gold cards.
Of course, he wouldn't expose her. If she disappeared again in the future, where would he go to find her?
Long Fei Ye was expressionless as he stuffed the gold card into Han Yunxi's sleeve. "Keep it well. If you lose it again, you'll have to pay double the price!"
Unfortunately, the moment he stuffed it in, he touched Lil Thing, who was sleeping in Han Yunxi's sleeve. He grabbed Lil Thing by its tail and dragged it out. Without even looking at it, he threw it out. "Don't let it rub against you in the future."
Han Yunxi couldn't care less about Lil Thing. The word "pay" made her immediately take out the gold card and carefully put it away in her medical pouch.
This thing didn't have a price limit. How could she pay? And double the price? Long Fei Ye was so ruthless!
Seeing Han Yunxi put it away, Long Fei Ye's eyes flashed with satisfaction. Only then did he lead her out the door.
Wang Shuchen watched this scene from afar and felt that it was inconceivable. He didn't think that His Highness Duke of Qin had already found Qin Wangfei.
He really wanted to meet Qin Wangfei and see what kind of woman she was to make the Duke of Qin go crazy and post bounties all over the world.
Of course, he quickly recovered his senses. He should think about how to deal with Chu Qingge when he returned …
