In less than half a day, Long Fei Ye and Gu Qi Sha had scoured the warehouses behind several large markets. Unfortunately, they couldn't even smell the slightest bit of gunpowder, let alone find a large quantity of it.
The two of them hadn't spoken a word since they left the Wu Family's grain store. They traveled together for the entire journey, but when they reached a warehouse, they split up and left at the same time. Neither of them spoke a word as they both knew that the other had not found anything.
At this time, they had snuck into another large warehouse and were in the same room. They split up to search for the secret rooms. After spending a lot of time, they still found nothing.
The two of them looked at each other, then tacitly left.
Gu Qi Sha leaped onto the wall as soon as he left. Long Fei Ye's martial arts were far superior to his, but he was always one step slower.
Along the way, Long Fei Ye kept an eye on Gu Qi Sha's movements. He observed his qinggong, the strength of his legs, and the way he leaped onto roofs and vaulted over walls.
He had sparred with Gu Qi Sha a few times before, but he hadn't paid much attention to his movements. Now, however, he was especially attentive.
After observing carefully, Long Fei Ye leaped into the air and landed on the roof. Cold, he said, "The next warehouse is this way."
"Let's split up! Otherwise, we won't find anything even if we search for three days and three nights! "Gu Qi Sha replied unhappily.
In reality, he hadn't planned to search seriously when he came out with Long Fei Ye. The reason why he hadn't suggested splitting up from the start was because he wanted to slack off with Long Fei Ye. After all, he didn't need to worry about anything else as long as he followed him.
But now, he realized that foolishly following him was tiring. He decided to sneak back to catch up on some sleep. If he couldn't fall asleep, he could still drink tea and chat with Han Yunxi.
"This prince will head west. I'll leave the east area to you," Long Fei Ye said.
After half a day, he had a rough idea of Gu Qi Sha's skills. He was too lazy to mix around with him. Splitting up would indeed save him a lot of time.
Gu Qi Sha didn't even reply, but simply turned to leave. Long Feiye watched his retreating form as a mocking smile rose to his lips. He seemed to have realized something.
He continued to head west and was about to sneak into a hidden warehouse when he caught a glimpse of a familiar white figure. That figure was faster than him and had snuck in before him!
Why would they meet here?
Bewildered, Long Feiye silently followed suit. But he hadn't even gotten close when the white figure abruptly stopped in its tracks.
Long Fei Ye did not stop. In a flash, he appeared in front of the white figure and said coldly, "Why are you here?"
Other than Little Thing, what else could the white shadow be?
It was no longer a white shadow, but a real white ball. In front of Long Fei Ye, there wasn't a moment when it wouldn't explode.
It didn't know what Daddy Long was talking about. It only felt that he was terrifying. It began to retreat timidly.
Long Fei Ye was indeed very fierce. Since the little thing appeared here, perhaps Han Yunxi was also nearby.
This restless woman, didn't he tell her to stay in the grain store obediently? How dare he sneak into the warehouse of the black market with only a few hidden weapons and no martial arts?
If they were caught, they wouldn't even know how they died!
"Where's Han Yunxi?" Long Fei Ye asked.
Lil Thing was already afraid. After being yelled at, it was so scared that it didn't care about anything else. It turned around and ran for its life!
Although it couldn't die, it couldn't help but worry whenever it was alone with Daddy Long. It was afraid that Daddy Long would secretly kill it one day behind Mama Yunxi's back.
Seeing Lil Thing run, Long Fei Ye assumed it was looking for Han Yunxi and immediately chased after it. Lil Thing grew even more afraid and ran for its life. It had no idea what Daddy Long wanted to do.
Besides that time in Medicine City, Daddy Long had never chased after it!
Long Fei Ye chased after Lil Thing until they reached the back courtyard of Wu Shu's grain store.
He stopped abruptly, suddenly realizing that Han Yunxi hadn't left the house at all.
Lil Thing leapt onto the tall wall and fell into the courtyard without looking back. It hadn't planned to come back, but Daddy Long had chased it so closely that it could only seek Mama Yunxi's protection!
It really couldn't figure it out. Mama Yunxi was so smart, but why did she fancy a fiend like Daddy Long? Why wasn't Mama Yunxi with its gentleman? If Mama Yunxi and the gentleman were together, its world would be perfect!
Long Fei Ye was about to turn and leave when he suddenly turned back. It wasn't clear whether that woman was resting or doing something else.
Han Yunxi was currently researching Beauty's Tears and Perplexing Butterfly Illusion in her room. Although Long Fei Ye hadn't asked her about it recently, she'd take out the two poisons whenever she had time to study them. She'd either mix them with other poisons or try all sorts of methods to extract the ingredients.
Of course, Han Yunxi was also keeping an eye on the poison pond in her detox system. Last time, the detox system had leveled up because of the pond and gained the ability to nurture poisons and create antidotes on its own.
When she poisoned Jun Yi Xie, the pond had only produced a handful of poisons. Moreover, she hadn't even created an antidote yet. But now she could produce ten mature poisons.
Right now, Han Yunxi had a bold idea. She wanted to take out the pond water and mix it with Perplexing Butterfly Illusion and Beauty's Tears. She wanted to see if it was the two poisons that swallowed the pond water, or if it was the poison pond water that swallowed the poisons.
One had to know that there was also a situation of "black eating black" when it came to poisons. Whoever had a stronger poison would often eat the weaker poison to increase their own toxicity.
Han Yunxi took out the poison pond water, along with some Perplexing Butterfly Illusion and a bit of Beauty's Tears. She tossed them separately into the pond water and was about to observe when Lil Thing suddenly flew in through the window and slammed into her back.
"Ah!"
The two bottles of poison in Han Yunxi's hands almost flew out. Fortunately, she held on tight.
Lil Thing didn't even care about the poison. It grabbed Han Yunxi's clothes and climbed onto her shoulder. It slid down her arm like a slide and hurriedly hid in her sleeve.
What's up with this little guy?
Just as Han Yunxi was puzzled, someone knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" she asked.
Unfortunately, the person outside didn't make a sound and kept knocking.
Strange!
None of Uncle Wu's subordinates would dare to do this. Who's at the door?
Han Yunxi looked at the two bottles of poison. Seeing that the poison didn't fuse and didn't react, she casually put the bottles into her medical pouch. She didn't make a sound and walked to the door. She held Pear Blossom Teardrop Rain and was on guard.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
The knocking continued. Han Yunxi's lips curled into a cold smile, but she didn't make a sound.
Very soon, the person outside stopped knocking on the door and left without a sound. Han Yunxi grew more suspicious as she grew more guarded.
She vigilantly looked at the windows on both sides. One of the windows was tightly shut, while the other had been knocked open by Lil Thing.
Han Yunxi was vigilantly looking at the open window. Who knew that a few golden needles suddenly shot into the crack of the door. She completely didn't notice it until the golden needles brushed past her cheek and broke the teacup on the table. She was shocked.
Almost at the same time, Long Fei Ye's voice came from outside the door. "Open the door."
It's him?
Han Yunxi was stunned. The moment the door opened, she saw Long Fei Ye standing outside.
Long Fei Ye looked at her and was somewhat helpless. "This vigilance of yours …"
Although there were shadow guards protecting her, but if she met with an expert, the shadow guards might not be able to stop him. And how could he always stay by her side?
Long Feiye began to consider whether or not to teach this woman martial arts. He hadn't taught her in the past because he thought she was a good-for-nothing in martial arts, but now it seemed like he had to find a chance for her to start learning martial arts.
Alright, Han Yunxi also admitted that her vigilance was very poor. But she had no choice!
"Why has Your Highness returned? Have you found the gunpowder? "
"I met Lil Thing and chased it back to take a look. If you're not tired, let's go look for it together. "Long Fei Ye said indifferently.
Han Yunxi was overjoyed. "Really?"
"Let's go." Long Fei Ye turned around and left.
Was it because Long Fei Ye saw that Han Yunxi wanted to follow him or because he liked to let Han Yunxi follow him? Only he himself knew.
In any case, Han Yunxi was happily led away by Long Fei Ye. By the time Gu Qi Sha returned, they were already far away. Gu Qi Sha couldn't find them in the courtyard and asked everyone in the inn, but no one could give him an answer.
Gu Qi Sha wanted to go to sleep, but when he lay down, he couldn't … What a tragedy!
When she found out that Long Fei Ye and Long Fei Ye hadn't found any clues, Han Yunxi forcefully pulled Lil Thing out of her sleeve and hung it in front of Long Fei Ye.
"Your Highness, it has a way!"
Han Yunxi smiled mischievously, but Lil Thing began to cry. "Squeak … squeak … squeak …"
"What way?"
Long Fei Ye slapped Han Yunxi's hand away. "Don't you think it's dirty? How many times have I told you not to keep this thing on you? "
Even now, Long Fei Ye still didn't think much of Lil Thing. It wasn't because he looked down on its abilities, but because he really didn't like furry little animals like Lil Thing.
Lil Thing fell to the ground and hid by Han Yunxi's feet, feeling wronged and terrified.
Han Yunxi squatted down and snorted. "Lil Thing, go find the gunpowder and show it to him!"
As she spoke, she took out some sulfur for Lil Thing to sniff. Lil Thing seemed to have been emboldened by Han Yunxi, because Lil Thing actually leaped onto her shoulder and stuck out its tongue at Long Fei Ye before fleeing.
"Your Highness, hurry and chase after it! It'll find it! "Han Yunxi said anxiously.
Could Long Fei Ye refuse? Obviously not.
For the third time, the great Duke of Qin chased a little squirrel through the streets and alleys, leaping onto roofs and vaulting over walls. Lil Thing seemed to be holding a grudge this time. It purposely took the most difficult paths and even went through the dog hole that it disdained the most. It made it seem as if Long Fei Ye would follow suit.
Long Fei Ye flew over the high wall with a light tap of his foot. The dog hole had nothing to do with him. Han Yunxi watched, truly anxious for Lil Thing's intelligence!
Just as Long Fei Ye was about to lose his patience, Lil Thing suddenly braked, turned around, and squeaked at Han Yunxi.
"Found it!" Han Yunxi was overjoyed.
Lil Thing nodded furiously and turned to enter a restaurant.
This restaurant was the only one in the black market, and it was listed in Long Fei Ye's information. It was just that he hadn't had time to come over yet.
Long Fei Ye led Han Yunxi to catch up with Lil Thing. They went all the way to the wine cellar in the back courtyard of the restaurant. As soon as they reached the entrance, they were greeted by the strong smell of alcohol.
They avoided the manservants in the courtyard and entered through the window at the back. They saw that the wine cellar was filled to the brim with wine jars, leaving only a small path for them to walk through.
Lil Thing was like an arrow that left the bow. It darted into the depths of the cellar and scratched the ground incessantly!
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi chased after it and quickly discovered that there was an entrance to the cellar. However, after they entered the cellar, they saw that it was still filled with wine.
Where was the gunpowder?
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi both looked at Lil Thing. Lil Thing ran headfirst into the nearest wine jar and actually smashed it into pieces!
Then …
