C83 (1/2)

Rowland sighed, understanding the situation.

”When are you leaving?”

”Now.”

Ruo Lan looked at the disgruntled expression. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She urged, ”Go early and come back early.”

For some unknown reason, a feeling that was difficult to describe suddenly surfaced in Xiao Yan's heart when he saw Ruo Lan's faint smile. It felt somewhat warm, but also a little bit sour.

”Wait for me.”

As the sound of his voice faded, he slowly stood up and walked out of the great hall.

His black monastic robe fluttered in the wind, bringing with it a touch of bright and beautiful colors.

In the night, his handsome body suddenly rose from the ground. After letting out a soft whistle, he disappeared into the night sky.

After looking at the night sky for a long time, Ruo Lan slowly lowered her head.

Suddenly, she noticed something moving in the corner of the wall.

With a thought, her body turned into a blur and she instantly appeared at the corner of the wall.

Before the little thing in the corner could react, it was lifted up by a slender jade hand.

”Eh, it's actually a Fire Fox?” Rowland muttered in surprise.

One had to know that in the Ye Kingdom's imperial city, it was rare to see something like a fire fox.

To a small animal like Fire Fox with beautiful fur, this Imperial City was an extremely dangerous place.

The Fire Fox struggled and let out a series of creaking sounds.

Ruo Lan frowned. She suddenly had an idea. She felt a vague magic power from this Fire Fox.

Without thinking any further, she picked up the Fire Fox and went straight to the back of the hall.

As soon as he entered, he saw Li Qianqiu walking out.

”Li Qianqiu.” Ruo Lan called out to him.

Li Qianqiu hurriedly greeted her and bowed in greeting. ”Greetings, Miss Ruo Lan.” As the sound of his voice faded, he suddenly saw the Fire Fox in Ruo Lan's hands.

Fire Fox struggled and trembled in Ruo Lan's hands. When she felt the divine aura of this woman, she was scared out of her wits.

Li Qianqiu cried out involuntarily, ”Miss Ruo Lan, how did this beast offend you?!”

Ruo Lan shook her head and said with a smile, ”No, I saw it hiding in a corner, so I brought it here. I wanted to ask if you know this little guy.”

Li Qianqiu took the Fire Fox in both hands and held it in his arms.

Fire Fox didn't seem to be afraid. After being in Li Qianqiu's arms for a few moments, she propped up her two hind legs and laid on Li Qianqiu's shoulder, letting out a series of creaking sounds.

Moments later, it stomped its leg and jumped into a nearby field of flowers and trees.

”What's going on?” Rowland asked curiously.

Li Qianqiu respectfully replied, ”This is my clan's messenger, the Fire Fox. He has come to deliver a message to me.”

If Lan Deng's heart was touched, his eyes would light up as he anxiously asked, ”Is this news from Jun Wu You?”

Li Qianqiu was a little embarrassed as he scratched his head and said, ”Reporting to Miss Ruolan, this is not my lord's news. That little fox said that something strange has happened in the Cloudsoaring Mountain recently, and it asked me if I wanted to take a look. ”

With that, Li Qianqiu angrily said, ”My family members shouldn't even look at the situation, how would I have time to leave …”

Luo Lan was disappointed, but she was also curious. ”What strange phenomenon appeared on the Cloudsoaring Mountain?”

Li Qianqiu frowned and said, ”I heard that there's some sort of treasure that's about to appear.”

A treasure was born?

This kind of thing sounds very ticklish.

Moreover, if he were to leave now, even if he stayed in this mansion, he wouldn't be able to tell that Ye Yifan, that fatuous monarch, would agree to watch this evil Taoist's request and allow him to return to the palace.

The palace was quiet and depressing, how could it be any fun outside the palace?

If he didn't find an opportunity to slip away now, wouldn't he be a fool?

Besides, if he could sneak out and find a chance to meet him, that would be even better.

Thinking up to here, Ruo Lan's face was full of excitement. She smiled and asked, ”Where is the Cloud Floating Mountain?”

Li Qianqiu stared at Ruo Lan with a strange expression for a while, before replying, ”Six hundred kilometers north of the Imperial City.”

Ruo Lan nodded and said in a low voice, ”Very good. ”Not too far away, not too close …”

”Miss Ruo Lan, you …” Li Qianqiu asked hesitantly.

A strong smile appeared on Ruo Lan's face, and her eyes curved into two crescent moons.

”In the next few days, I will leave the training of the Lin siblings and those hundred children to you!”

Li Qianqiu couldn't help but ask, ”Miss Ruo Lan, are you going …”

Ruo Lan smiled and said, ”Is that so?” Naturally, it is the Floating Cloud Mountain that is looking for treasures! ”

Li Qianqiu was extremely depressed in his heart. If he had known this would happen, he would've been burdened even more.

Moreover, she was going to steal him away to play in the Cloudsoaring Mountain, yet he couldn't go with her. How could this not make his heart itch?

Unfortunately, Ruo Lan had already given the order, so he couldn't resist. Who asked my lord to say that Ruo Lan's orders are the same as my lord's, sigh …

The poor little fox could only stay in the capital and continue to be his training teacher.
