Master!
Xiao Yao was completely stunned.
Why was Master here?
Startled, she instinctively wanted to chase after him.
But her foot slipped, and she kicked the medicine rack.
Clang!
From outside, a low shout immediately came, "Who's there?"
Xiao Yao quickly dodged to the side. When she looked up again, Ye Qingying's figure had vanished.
She still wanted to pursue.
Suddenly, her collar tightened, and she was lifted up.
Before the medicine person could discover them, Feng Yexuan, carrying her, evaded the search by the medicine people and left the valley. Soon, they landed in the dense forest on the other side of the valley.
"What happened just now? What did you see?"
Feng Yexuan was quite far from her and hadn't noticed what was happening on her side.
But although this girl was impulsive, she never did things so carelessly.
She must have seen something astonishing to be so flustered.
"N-nothing," Xiao Yao replied, feeling unsettled.
She had seen Master. Why would Master appear in the Medicine Person Valley? What was he doing there?
Was Master safe now?
Would their discovery implicate Master?
How was Master doing now?
Xiao Yao was extremely uneasy and didn't notice Feng Yexuan staring at her, carefully studying her expression.
When Xiao Yao looked up, she accidentally met Feng Yexuan's icy gaze.
Startled, she instinctively took two steps back.
"What exactly did you see?" Feng Yexuan narrowed his eyes, his voice chilling.
Xiao Yao wanted to speak, but he spoke first, his voice cold, "This King hates deception the most!"
"I can't tell you!" She didn't want to lie to him, but she couldn't tell him about Master's affairs!
Feng Yexuan let out a cold snort and turned to leave.
Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment, then finally followed him.
They didn't exchange another word on the way.
After leaving the valley, Jifeng was already waiting for them on the road.
The horse seemed to possess a spirit.
However, Xiao Yao felt utterly miserable. Feng Yexuan had actually thrown her off the horse outside the city.
He went to the military camp himself and told her to return to the prince's mansion to wait for him.
He had also said that if she dared to escape, he would hand Fu Ning over to Chu Qianli.
What a scoundrel! How excessive!
The two days and nights they had spent together were all for naught, not showing any mercy at all!
Xiao Yao had no choice but to walk back herself.
If it weren't for Fu Ning, she wouldn't have wanted to stay in this place for a moment.
Feng Jinrui was personally guarding Fu Ning. Finally seeing her return, Feng Jinrui anxiously asked, "Did you really go out with Big Brother?"
"Otherwise, where could I have gone by myself?"
But she truly didn't want to stay here anymore.
She wanted to find Master.
Why had Master appeared in the Medicine Person Valley? What exactly did he want to do?
This question still had no answer.
Xiao Yao's greatest worry was whether Master would be in danger.
"Xiao Yao, how is her condition?" Feng Jinrui asked.
Xiao Yao then collected her thoughts, her slender fingers landing on Fu Ning's pulse.
After a moment, her eyes lit up, and she said, "This time, she can really get better!"
...
Feng Yexuan had not returned for two days.
Xiao Yao didn't know what she was waiting for, but every day, she would inquire with Feng Jinrui several times: Had he returned yet?
Each time, the answer was negative.
Actually, what did it matter to her whether he returned or not?
It was just that thinking of her concealment that day, and his disappointed gaze, made her feel a little uneasy.
On the second night, Feng Yexuan still hadn't returned.
Xiao Yao left a prescription and began packing her belongings.
Feng Jinrui looked anxious, "Are you leaving? Where are you going?"
