To Xue Fanxin, the only people she was really interested in targeting were Su Baifeng and Pei Xiangxiang. As for Yu Yuefu, Fuling, the Grand Preceptor’s wife, or even the Empress, she could not be bothered.
Those people always wanted to have designs on Ah Jiu. They thought about this and that, schemed against this and that. But did they even think bout it? They could not even see him in person, was there any use in thinking or plotting?
How stupid, stupid, stupid…
If these people liked to cause trouble, let them. She did not have time to accompany them.
After a few days of recuperation, Xue Fanxin’s body had almost recovered. After Ye Jiushang left behind some instructions, he left with Xue Fanxin. No one knew where they had gone. They only knew that they had already left. Furthermore, he had deliberately released the news to let everyone outside know that they were no longer in the Imperial City.
In the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace, the Empress was extremely angry when she found out that Ye Jiushang had left the Imperial City with Xue Fanxin. “What did you say? Ye Jiushang left the Imperial City again?”
“Damn it…” In a rage, the Empress knocked over the teacup beside her. “Investigate, quickly investigate. You must find Ye Jiushang’s whereabouts.”
This time, she had finally waited for Ye Jiushang to return to the Imperial City. Apart from seeing him once in Consort Dowager Jing’s chamber that day, she had not seen him again. Now that he had left again, how should she carry out her future plans?
Consort Dowager Jing had already fallen out of favor and was no longer protected by Ye Jiushang. Therefore, she could no longer use Consort Dowager Jing to force Ye Jiushang to appear.
“Ye Jiushang, I want to see how much you can dodge. Send ten times the number of people to find out Ye Jiushang’s whereabouts as soon as possible.”
At the same time, in the Grand Preceptor’s Estate, when the Grand Preceptor’s wife found out that Ye Jiushang had left the Imperial City with Xue Fanxin, her reaction was no different from that of the Empress. She was furious. The only thing she could do was send people to investigate Ye Jiushang’s whereabouts.
Yu Yuefu, on the other hand, chattered anxiously. “Mother, the Ninth Lord has left again. What should we do? He returns so rarely. Now that Consort Dowager Jing has already been banished to the cold palace, I’m afraid there’s an even lesser chance of him returning.”
If the Ninth Lord did not return, how could she marry him?
“Yuefu, be anxious first. Mother will definitely help you find him.” Although the Grand Preceptor’s wife comforted Yu Yuefu, she was actually not confident at all.
The Tongxuan Continent was so large that it was easier said than done to find someone. It would be fine if it was an ordinary person, but Ye Jiushang was not an ordinary person. Finding him was even more difficult than ascending to the heavens.
It seemed like she could only go to the Purple Cloud Tower again to see if she could buy Ye Jiushang’s whereabouts from there.
While the people in the Imperial City were angry and anxious, Ye Jiushang brought Xue Fanxin to a beautiful place.
“Ah Jiu, where is this?”
“The deepest part of the Moon Burial Ridge,” Ye Jiushang said casually. He looked at his surroundings and found a place by the mountain and water. He took out a miniature exquisite bamboo house from his interspatial ring and threw it on the ground.
After the miniature bamboo house landed, it instantly enlarged and turned into a small courtyard built from bamboo. There were three houses in the courtyard.
“Wow… Ah Jiu, how did you make this house? It’s so magical!” Xue Fanxin touched the bamboo railing in front of her and pushed open the small door to walk in. The more she looked at this small courtyard, the more she liked it.
“This is a small house I recently refined. Not only can it be lived in, but it also has a certain defensive function. However, that’s really all there is to it.” Ye Jiushang followed her into the bamboo house. Then, he casually waved his hand and set up a barrier around the bamboo house.
