The two of them were discussing by the window. They were afraid that the medicine would be useless, but they were also afraid that the medicine would be too useful. They were very conflicted.

On the cliff, when the black-clothed woman heard these words, her eyes revealed a hint of mockery.

She had traveled all over Northern Liang and had traveled thousands of kilometers to Wu Province. Her main goal was to find the remnant formula of the Heavenly Carnelian Bead in Zhang Jinglin’s hand.

Although she had never seen the Heavenly Carnelian Bead before, she knew that it was a special medicine concocted by a special person using special methods. Now, there was no longer anyone in the world who could use it. If Zhang Jinglin restored the formula wrongly, it might still have the right starting effect. If he really restored the formula, whoever ate it would die. It was impossible for it to work.

The black-clothed woman listened carefully to their conversation. She wanted to wait for Bai Siming to finish speaking and leave so that she could follow him to the Prince of Wu’s lair to find Zhang Jinglin.

But before the two people at the bottom of the cliff finished speaking their conversation, there was a faint movement behind them.

The black-clothed woman sensed that something was wrong and turned around to look around. Sure enough, she found that there was a white figure lingering on the mountainside. She was floating silently in the mountain forest and searching everywhere.

The black-clothed woman was caught up again, and a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes. She hurriedly disappeared into the night silently and fled down the mountain.

On the mountainside, Daoist Xuanji, who had just arrived, quickly discovered the abnormality behind the manor.

Daoist Xuanji knew that the Thief Sage was looking for the Prince of Wu, so she would definitely continue to follow Bai Siming. If she couldn’t catch up to him, she would find other ways.

Over the past few days, when Daoist Xuanji was tracking her, she had inquired about the situation in Wu Province’s Jianghu and guessed that Guan Yujia had a deep relationship with the Prince of Wu. If Northern Liang’s Thief Sage couldn’t find her target, she might come to the Iron River Manor to wait for him.

Daoist Xuanji had been shaken off for an entire night and couldn’t find any traces of her. She had only come here to give it a try, but she had gained something so quickly. Surprise naturally flashed across her eyes as she quickly followed.

Not long after, a familiar conversation sounded in the mountains.

“Demoness! You were poisoned by the Blood Congealing Powder. How did you catch up so quickly?”

“I was lucky. I met a very handsome young hero who helped me detoxify the poison. 1 already told you that poison was useless. If you had drugged me with a strong aphrodisiac, 1 might still be happy now and not have the mood to care about you…”

“Ptui! You know my ability. I just didn’t want to kill you and held back. If 1 really drug you, demoness, do you believe that when you see a tree stump, you will pounce on it and rub it?”

“I don’t believe it. You’re only good at talking. I just felt a little bit of my energy run out after you poisoned me. It wasn’t interesting at all…”

“Alright! You asked for it. Don’t blame me for being despicable afterward…”

“Stop running. 1 have to go home at the end of the month. I don’t have time to play cat and mouse with you…”

“Then get lost!”

“I have to get the Roaring Dragon Chart before I leave. If you keep running around like this, I’m going to get serious…”

“Come! If you dare to kill me, 1’11 drag you down with me…”

Tread, tread, tread…

As they chatted, the two figures drifted farther and farther away into the wilderness. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared…

At the same time, outside River Source County…

Three fine horses galloped past on the official road. A bird sat on one horse, and two people sat on the other.

Ye Jingtang was galloping on his horse and focused on investigating the road ahead, examining the figures coming and going.

Pei Xiangjun was sitting behind Luo Ning with her hands around her slender waist, and the big watermelons were pressing against Luo Ning’s back. Her eyes were closed as she tried to practice the Dragon Form Picture.

Originally, Pei Xiangjun had planned to study the Dragon Form Picture herself and figure out the qi circulation method. But it was indeed a little difficult. Last night, when she was sleeping with Luo Ning, Luo Ning saw that she couldn’t figure it out, so she had forcefully explained it to her.

Although Pei Xiangjun felt that she could do it on her own and didn’t need to hear it, she still heard it. Then she figured out the qi circulation method. It was too boring to travel on horseback, so while sitting behind Luo Ning, she was familiarizing herself with it.

Luo Ning felt the two dough-like soft pillows leaning against her back. As a woman, she naturally didn’t feel that this was very enjoyable. While riding, she looked at Ye Jingtang and asked, “The sect master of the Phoenix Perching Villa set off this morning. I’m afraid it’ll be very difficult to catch up. What should we do now?”

The three of them had set off at noon and arrived at River Source County in the afternoon. Under the lead of the bird, they arrived at the Phoenix Perching Villa.

Ye Jingtang originally thought that there was going to be a fight, but in the end, he carefully infiltrated the Phoenix Perching Villa and kidnapped a disciple. After questioning, he heard that an esteemed guest had come to the villa last night, and the sect master had set off to the Iron River Manor for a banquet at dawn.

Although Ye Jingtang had lost Bai Siming, he wasn’t discouraged. “Guan Yujia is holding a heroes conference, and the twelve sect masters are all conflicted about whether to go. The Phoenix Perching Villa was originally waiting and watching and didn’t arrange any carriages, but they set off in a hurry this morning. It must be related to Bai Siming’s visit last night. Let’s continue investigating. Even if we guess wrongly, Guan Yujia has a close relationship with the Prince of Wu. We should be able to gain something by investigating Guan Yujia.”

Luo Ning drove her horse forward and thought for a moment before saying, “The young lady of the Phoenix Perching Villa seems to have married a grandson of Xuanyuan Chao. This is the only valuable connection in the entire sect. Bai Siming specially came to the Phoenix Perching Villa. I think it has something to do with this.”

When Ye Jingtang heard the words Jun Mountain Terrace, he frowned slightly and pondered silently. He felt that this reason was not impossible.

When he killed Huang Yulong and Xiao Shichen yesterday, he had shown his saber skills in front of Bai Siming. With Bai Siming’s Jianghu experience, he should be able to see through it.

After seeing the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade, Bai Siming turned around and ran to a force that had a close relationship with Jun Mountain Terrace. Other than informing them, there seemed to be no other intention.

Ye Jingtang thought for a moment. “If Bai Siming has sent my whereabouts to Jun Mountain Terrace, there will probably be another wave of assassins. The two Wang brothers of Yan Province didn’t succeed last time. The people who come this time will definitely be even more powerful. We have to be careful.”

Luo Ning nodded lightly and didn’t say anything else. She felt that Third Lady’s ‘watermelon push’ was a little hot, causing her back to sweat. She raised her hand and patted Third Lady’s thigh. “Can you sit still?”

?

Pei Xiangjun sat up straight. Her thoughts were interrupted, so her eyes were full of displeasure. “Who wants to sit behind you?”

Then she flew up and landed behind Ye Jingtang on the saddle. She hugged his waist, leaned against his back, closed her eyes, and continued thinking about the Dragon Form Picture.

Ye Jingtang felt the soft watermelon push.. He wanted to say something, but seeing that Third Lady was practicing seriously, he didn’t disturb her…
