Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

Lao Miao did not answer immediately. He stared at Cheng Gu for a long time, then slowly said, "The black fog has come to the capital!"

"Black mist?"

Cheng Gu frowned slightly, "This is really interesting... The black fog that has been missing for twenty years has actually appeared..."

"But then again, the dean came back after being missing for a hundred years, so it shouldn't be surprising for Black Mist to come back after being missing for twenty years, right?"

Chenggu's face was calm and his tone was unusually flat. It was obvious that he was not interested in Heiwu coming to the capital.

"Weighing the bones, there's no need for us to play dumb with each other!"

Lao Miao frowned, "You really don't know about the Black Mist coming to the capital?"

"do not know!"

Cheng Gu nodded and sighed slightly. "The Six Killers are not like other organizations. There is no relationship between them. Some of them have never even met each other. Whether it is Black Mist or the other members of the Six Killers, I am too lazy to care..."

"And after that incident, all my people were killed or injured... I'm the only one left as an old woman... Sometimes I really feel that there's no point in living..."

After Cheng Gu finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to walk into the dilapidated wooden house. Suddenly, she stopped and said, "But I met two very interesting young people in the college a while ago. One is called Ye Fan. I don't know what that young man has been through. I have never seen such a desolate inner world... The other one is called Liu Mengying..."

At this point, Chenggu turned around and said, "Dean, you should be very interested in that girl named Liu Mengying, because that little girl might have a close relationship with the ancient gods... And in this Mingyuan Academy, I am not the only one who discovered this..."

"Go... the descendants of the ancient gods!"

Hearing this, Lao Miao's face changed.

"As for the matter of Black Mist coming to the capital, I had no idea about it before you told me!"

"But Black Mist is the one who likes to sell information the most among the Six Killers... He once said that if the information you provide is significant enough, he can give up killing you and even give you a large sum of money!"

"Black Mist came to the capital either to kill people or to trade information!"

After saying that, without waiting for Lao Miao to respond, Cheng Gu walked into the dilapidated wooden house on his own.

Lao Miao had a solemn expression. He bowed slightly towards the direction of the dilapidated wooden house, then took a step forward and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

...........

the next day,

Ye Fan and Liu Mengying both woke up quite late because they both went to bed very late last night.

At noon, after they finished their breakfast and lunch, they left the academy and started shopping. After all, according to Ye Fan's plan, they would leave the capital soon...

..........

the other side,

Cold Palace,

“Qingying, do you trust Ye Fan so much… Although I think he’s a good guy, the Dragon Vein Book involves matters that are too serious after all… You… You’re just going to give it away like this?!”

"If he is really a member of the Mingyuan royal family, we and the people related to us will be doomed!"

Yu Youwei looked at Su Qingying who was lying beside the bed and expressed the question that had kept her awake all night.

"Youwei, Ye Fan is really from the Mingyuan royal family. Do you think you and I can still stand here?"

Su Qingying smiled slightly and took another bite of the cookie in her hand. "Ye Fan is right. This mooncake really needs to be cooled down before it tastes good!"

At this point, Su Qingying changed the subject and said, "Youwei, you said last night that the taste of the mooncakes is slightly different!"

"This... is indeed a little... but I was too excited at the time... and the mooncakes were freshly baked, so the temperature was very high, so it's normal that the taste is a little different!"

Yu Youwei was slightly stunned and replied.

"It's right that the taste is different! But the reason is not because the mooncakes are just out of the oven or you are too excited!"

Su Qingying smiled slightly, "The reason is that the mooncake ingredients I provided to Ye Fan yesterday were missing one... I don't know what the ingredients are, I just know that the quantity is missing. I can't make mooncakes with authentic flavors, not only because of my poor craftsmanship, but also because of one missing ingredient. But when I observed Ye Fan making mooncakes, he hesitated, the kind of hesitation that comes from wanting to add something but having nothing to add... Ye Fan also noticed that the mooncake was missing an ingredient, but he didn't say anything!"

"Although we don't know the origins of Ye Fan, one thing is certain, that is, although he is not a descendant of the ancient gods, he is definitely not a member of the Mingyuan royal family... Liu Ran, as a member of the ancient gods, should also think so, otherwise Ye Fan might not be able to leave Jiangzhou City... And Liu Ran definitely knows much more about Ye Fan than we do..."

"So we don't need to worry too much about Ye Fan's identity..."

Su Qingying took a deep breath, "Youwei, I have a bad feeling... a feeling that a storm is coming... The Mingyuan royal family may have discovered my identity. They trapped me here, probably to lure out other people who may be related to the ancient gods... They probably don't know that half of the Dragon Vein Book they have been searching for for hundreds of years is in my possession..."

“But I always feel that it is no longer safe to keep that half volume of Dragon Vein Book with me… At the beginning, the Mingyuan Royal Family would arrange some people to test it, but it has calmed down over the years. It is this calmness that makes me feel a little uneasy…”

Su Qingying looked serious, "Youwei, where is Ye Fan?"

"Nothing special... He slept until noon and then got up. After he and Liu Mengying had a meal, they went out shopping... In a way, it looked like he was leaving, but it was hard to say. Ye Fan often went out to play and eat with Liu Mengying before!"

Yu Youwei replied quickly.

"Pay close attention to Ye Fan's whereabouts in the next few days. If he hasn't left the capital in three days, go and urge him to leave and say it was me who said so!"

Su Qingying thought about it and spoke.

"it is good!"

...........

the other side,

"Ye Fan, Meng Ying!"

When Ye Fan and Liu Mengying were strolling around, a female voice suddenly sounded. They both turned their heads and saw a beautiful young woman in red standing not far behind them.

The woman had an exquisite bun with a small red flower on it. She was looking at Ye Fan and Liu Mengying with a smile on her face. It was Huo Xinmei.

"It's you! Long time no see!"

"Sister Huo!"

Ye Fan and Liu Mengying greeted Huo Xinmei almost at the same time.

"Ye Fan, Meng Ying, long time no see!"

Huo Xinmei took a few steps forward and spoke to the two of them.

“It’s been a while indeed~”

Ye Fan nodded, "Xinmei, you suddenly disappeared when we were in Jiangzhou City before, are you okay?"

"fine!"

Huo Xinmei shook her head and smiled. "I may not be very good at other things, but I am good at escaping. Ye Fan, you seem to care about me... a lot!"

"I guess so. You helped me a lot in Jiangzhou City. You disappeared without a trace at that time. I was really worried!"

Ye Fan said truthfully.

"Sister Huo, we haven't seen each other for a while. Let's have afternoon tea together and catch up. I know a very good restaurant!"

At this time, Liu Mengying suggested.

"it is good!"
