Inside the inn, the three of them sat around the tea table, not saying a word.
Baihu quietly lay in Ye Fan's arms, occasionally raising her head to look at Ye Fan.
"Sister-in-law Chiko's life is really bitter." Ye Feixue said with red eyes.
She originally thought that Ye Fan and Fujiwara Qianko were living a carefree life in Feng Ming Mountain's Lingyun Cave like an immortal couple. She never thought that so many things would happen after that.
Fujiwara No Chiko had just recovered her memories, but her soul was taken away by someone else. If this wasn't a bitter life, then what was it?
"This is our fate, and we can't escape it. Poor Xiao Zhao is also suffering with us husband and wife." Ye Fan, who was wearing a white jade mask, lightly said as he caressed Baihu in his arms.
Baihu licked Ye Fan's palm, then obediently rested her head on Ye Fan's lap.
"Can we save Sister-in-law Chiko if we find the Nine Cauldrons?" Ye Feixue asked with a choked voice.
Ye Fan nodded.
"I'll go back and tell Father about this, and let Tian Yi Hall help Brother Ye find the Nine Cauldrons." Ye Feixue looked at Ye Fan's head of silver hair with heartache, and said while wiping her tears.
She was very worried about Fujiwara No Chiko's safety, but her heart ached even more for Ye Fan.
The last time they parted, Ye Fan still had a head of black hair, and a smile in his eyes. Now, only a few months had passed, and Ye Fan's hair had turned white. His eyes were filled with grief, and he was getting thinner day by day.
This man had suffered too much. If it wasn't for his wife's love supporting him, this man would have already collapsed!
"Other than you, no one else can know about this." Ye Fan said to Ye Feixue, "If you really want to help Brother Ye, then keep this secret for Brother Ye."
Ye Feixue bit her lower lip and lightly nodded.
Although she didn't know why Ye Fan was doing this, she was smart enough to sense the seriousness of this matter.
With Ye Fan's current cultivation, the imperial court couldn't do anything to him. In other words, there was no need for him to disguise himself.
But now, Ye Fan was wearing a white Japanese robe and a white jade mask. his entire body was covered.
It was obvious that Ye Fan was currently in a very dangerous situation. Otherwise, he would not be so cautious.
As for Yue Hongji, Ye Feixue's sharp woman's intuition told her that something was off.
Obviously, this woman had also fallen in love with Ye Fan.
When she hugged Ye Fan, this woman clearly felt uncomfortable. Although she was wearing a crystal mask, there was still a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
In addition, when this woman looked at Ye Fan, her eyes were always filled with tenderness and love. It was almost the same as the way Fujiwara No Chiko looked at Ye Fan!
At the same time, Akatsuki was also trying to guess Ye Feixue.
Ye Feixue, Bufan.
Was their names a coincidence or was there something else?
This woman had clearly fallen in love with Ye Fan. When Ye Fan introduced Ye Feixue to her, this woman kept sizing her up. Her eyes were vigilant and filled with jealousy.
With Ye Fan's intelligence, he shouldn't be unaware of Ye Feixue's love for him.
This matter was very complicated, but it wasn't good for her to ask. She could only keep her thoughts to herself.
As Akatsuki was thinking, she raised her head and glanced at Ye Feixue.
At the same time, Ye Feixue was also looking at Akatsuki.
The two pairs of beautiful eyes met and then instantly looked away.
"Let's not talk about me. Let's talk about you." Ye Fan took out three inverted porcelain cups from the tea tray on the table. Then, he poured tea into the cups. "You're a girl. Why didn't you stay at home with Senior Ye? Why did you come all the way here?"
"Didn't I tell you already? My father told me to come here to buy medicinal ingredients. "Ye Feixue said to Ye Fan.
"This place is more than a thousand miles away from the Ye residence. You're a girl. Aren't you afraid that Senior Ye will be worried if you go out alone with so many banknotes?" As Ye Fan spoke, he put down the teapot and handed one of the cups to Ye Feixue. Then, he pushed the other cup in front of Akatsuki.
Such a simple and ordinary action immediately made Akatsuki jealous.
Ye Fan gave it to Ye Feixue first, not her.
Although she felt that she was making a big fuss over nothing, she still felt uncomfortable.
Perhaps this was the nature of women. They were petty and didn't want to give an inch.
It seemed that she had already fallen for him and was starting to fight with jealousy.
As Akatsuki thought of this, she bitterly smiled in her heart.
"If I stayed at home, Father would be even more worried. It would be better to let me out to get some fresh air so that I won't make him angry at home." As Ye Feixue spoke, she took the fragrant tea from Ye Fan and took a small sip. At the same time, she glanced at Akatsuki.
She also noticed Ye Fan's action.
This made her feel very happy.
"How is Senior Ye? Is his body well? "As Ye Fan spoke, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"My father is in good health. Besides being a little busy, everything is fine." Ye Feixue smiled.
Ye Fan put down the teacup and asked Ye Feixue, "As far as I know, Tian Yi Hall has always grown its own medicinal ingredients and rarely goes out to purchase them. How did they suddenly get such a large batch of high-quality medicinal ingredients this time?"
"For some reason, the imperial court has suddenly begun to stockpile medicinal ingredients in large quantities. This has caused the price of medicinal ingredients near the capital to rise." Ye Feixue said to Ye Fan, "This time, Tian Yi Hall wants to take advantage of the fact that the price of medicinal ingredients has not risen to prepare a large batch."
"The imperial court has begun to stockpile medicinal ingredients?" Ye Fan immediately asked in response to Ye Feixue's words.
"Yes." Ye Feixue replied, "I heard that the imperial court has already sent many imperial physicians to various places to purchase medicinal ingredients. I wonder if there will be anyone from the imperial court at this medicinal ingredient festival."
When Ye Fan heard this, his expression changed slightly and he frowned.
As far as he knew, the medicinal ingredients in the imperial court were all tributes from various places. There was no need for the imperial court to personally purchase them. Usually, they would only stockpile large amounts of medicinal ingredients during major epidemics or wars.
He had not heard of any epidemics occurring there. Could it be that the imperial court was about to go to war with foreign countries?
He had heard his grandfather Ye Yun say that the current emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty had been placed under house arrest by Matsumoto Takeyoshi's underling, State Preceptor Xuanji.
Now that the imperial court had begun to purchase medicinal ingredients in large quantities, could it be related to Matsumoto Takeyoshi?
"When did this happen?" Ye Fan frowned and asked Ye Feixue.
"Five days ago, I heard from my father. What happened? "Ye Feixue saw that Ye Fan's expression was not right and asked.
"If my guess is correct, the imperial court may be going to war soon." Ye Fan took a sip of tea and said with a serious expression.
"War? What war? "Ye Feixue stared with large blinking eyes, her face full of surprise.
"As far as I know, the imperial court will only stockpile medicinal ingredients during major epidemics or wars," Ye Fan explained. "Currently, there are no major epidemics in various places. If the imperial court is not preparing for war, then what is it for?"
"You mean to say that the Great Ming Dynasty is about to go to war?" Akatsuki was shocked by Ye Fan's words.
Ye Fan slowly nodded.
"Who are they going to war with?" Akatsuki asked.
"I don't know." Ye Fan shook his head.
"No wonder." Ye Feixue said thoughtfully.
"No wonder what?" Ye Fan turned to look at Ye Feixue and asked.
"On the way here, I saw many soldiers gathering at the border." Ye Feixue frowned. "Is it really as Brother Ye said and the imperial court is preparing for war?"
"Which border did you see those soldiers gathering at?" Ye Fan asked.
"They are all moving to the north. I don't know which border," Ye Feixue replied.
Ye Fan's heart trembled when he heard this.
North, in the direction of the Mongolian Empire.
The place where his clansmen lived.
He was suddenly worried about his father Ye Kong, grandfather Ye Yun, and uncle Ye Chen.
Although they were in the Mongolian Empire, their hearts were in the Great Ming Dynasty. Once they found out that the Mongolian Empire was about to go to war with the Great Ming Dynasty, they would be in a dilemma. They would have to think of a way to stop this war.
"Brother Ye, what's wrong?" Ye Feixue saw Ye Fan lower his head and frown, so she immediately asked.
"Feixue, how are you going to bring back that batch of medicinal ingredients?" Ye Fan asked Ye Feixue.
"The escort agency, what's wrong?" Ye Feixue didn't understand why Ye Fan would suddenly ask about this.
"That's good." Ye Fan nodded and said, "There's no time to lose. I'll send you back to the Ye Residence now and gather some information in the capital."
"You want to send me back?" Ye Feixue's eyes lit up when she heard that Ye Fan wanted to send her back.
She suddenly remembered the beautiful scene of Ye Fan flying through the air with her.
That was the happiest moment of her life.
Now that Ye Fan was taking the initiative to send her back, how could she not be happy?
"The road is in chaos right now. I'm worried about a little girl like you rushing back from so far away." Ye Fan said to Ye Feixue.
"That's great! Thank you, Brother Ye! "Ye Feixue was as happy as a child.
When Akatsuki heard that Ye Fan wanted to send Ye Feixue home, she immediately frowned and asked, "If you leave, what will happen here?"
She knew what Ye Fan meant by 'send'.
This Ye Feixue didn't have any spiritual energy. She probably couldn't even stand on the clouds.
If Ye Fan wanted to send her home, he would have to touch her.
He would either hold her hand, hold her arm, or hug her. In short, there would definitely be skin to skin contact.
Akatsuki didn't dare to imagine what kind of scene that would be.
"You and Xiao Zhao wait for me here. I'll be back in two hours at most." Ye Fan said to Akatsuki.
"But ….." Akatsuki wanted to stop Ye Fan, but she didn't have any other reason.
Ye Fan was right. It was not safe for this Ye Feixue to travel thousands of miles back to the capital.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Ye Fan patted Baihu in his arms and said.
Baihu affectionately rubbed its head against Ye Fan and then jumped from his arms into Akatsuki's arms.
It had always obeyed Ye Fan's every command and had never complained at all.
"Then ….. Then be careful on your way back." Akatsuki, who was holding Baihu, saw that she couldn't stop Ye Fan and could only agree.
Ye Fan nodded.
"Elder Sister Yue, if you have the chance, come to the capital to play." Ye Feixue said to Akatsuki.
"If I have the chance, I'll definitely go." Akatsuki politely replied.
Although the two of them were jealous of each other, they still appeared to be friendly on the surface.
There was a saying that the feelings between women were like a bunch of fake flowers. Although it looked fake, it would never wither.
