The Evil Emperor's Beloved

Who would share cultivation matters with a group of people whom they have only known for two days for no reason?

Either this person has a big vision, or he has a big heart, haha... Of course, there is another possibility, he is using this method to let everyone let down their guard.

At night, when everyone was asleep, Ye Zhengyu suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness with a sharp look, and then quietly got up and walked out of the tent.

As he expected, Nan Yuhong had indeed disappeared.

He immediately became alert, came to Jing Yueli's tent, and called out in a low voice, "Yueli?"

Jing Yueli knew it as soon as Ye Zhengyu stepped into her tent.

"Here! What's wrong?" Jing Yueli opened the tent.

Ye Zhengyu gestured with his chin to ask her to look at Nan Yuhong's tent. It was obvious that there was no one in the tent.

Because they couldn't detect any sign of anyone in the tent.

Jing Yueli walked out of the tent and found Leng Tianchao, indicating that they were going out for a while and that the camp would be left to him, and asked him to be more alert.

Afterwards, the two disappeared into the night.

Ye Zhengyu and Jing Yueli followed the faint breath left by Nan Yuhong and chased after him...

The aura disappeared in front of a cave about five miles away from where they camped. Ye Zhengyu and Jing Yueli looked at each other and walked into the cave carefully.

The cave was filled with a rich spiritual energy, and the two walked forward cautiously.

Suddenly, Ye Zhengyu sensed a dangerous aura coming towards them. He pulled Jing Yueli behind him with one hand, and a fierce attack followed.

Ye Zhengyu quickly dodged to the side. At the same time, he used all his spiritual power to fight against the attack.

Jing Yueli took the opportunity to observe her surroundings and saw Nan Yuhong standing not far away, holding a spiritual herb emitting a strange light in his hand.

"Nan Yuhong, what are you doing here?" Jing Yueli's words were inevitably questioning.

When Nan Yuhong saw that it was the two of them, he quickly stopped his attack.

He was a little surprised. He felt someone approaching before, but he didn't expect it to be them. He breathed a sigh of relief, revealed a faint smile, and raised the spiritual herb in his hand. It was obvious that his appearance here was related to the spiritual herb in his hand. He only heard him say, "One of the reasons I came out this time is this herb. I noticed it before, so..."

He came out in the middle of the night just for this magical herb.

"So that everyone wouldn't have to make a special trip for my matter, I thought I'd go out alone while everyone was resting."

"I didn't expect... that you would misunderstand me."

His explanation was well-reasoned and Jing Yueli couldn't get to the bottom of it in person.

Ye Zhengyu's eyes were still full of vigilance. Nan Yuhong sighed softly, "I know you are suspicious of me, but I really have no ill will towards you."

Nan Yuhong looked at the spiritual herb in his hand and continued, "This spiritual herb is very important to me. I didn't want others to know about this before."

Jing Yueli stared at him for a moment and felt that although Nan Yuhong's explanation made some sense, his coming out in the middle of the night would indeed arouse people's reverie. Seeing his confident words, perhaps it was really as he said, just to find this spiritual herb, and he had no other intentions.

"Okay, I'll trust you this time. However, if anything happens in the future, it's best to inform everyone in advance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings like this time." Jing Yueli said seriously.

Danger is everywhere in the secret realm, and it is impossible for them to leave the main force every time and devote their attention to looking for people.

Nan Yuhong nodded, "Thank you for your trust, I will pay attention."

Nan Yuhong put away the magical herb, and the three of them quickly returned to the camp.

When they returned to the camp, it was already bright. Leng Tianchao and the others had already packed up, leaving them the only ones missing.

Jing Yueli waved her hand, and all her tents were packed into the space.

"Let's go!"

On the way, Nan Yuhong found Jing Yueli and handed her the spiritual herb.

Jing Yueli looked at him in confusion. Wasn't this spiritual herb very important to him? Why give it to her?

"I heard them say that you are a very good alchemist. I wonder if you know this spiritual herb?" Jing Yueli took the spiritual herb from Nan Yuhong. The moment she touched it, she felt the powerful medicinal power contained in this spiritual herb, which reminded her of the spiritual herb they met on the road before.

Although the two spiritual herbs are not of the same species, they have vague similarities.

Jing Yueli carefully observed the spiritual herb in her hand, and after pondering for a moment, she said, "I have never seen this spiritual herb before, but judging from the spiritual power it contains, it should be an extremely rare and precious medicinal herb."

Listening to Jing Yueli's explanation, Nan Yuhong couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Originally, seeing the people in the team praising Jing Yueli so much, saying what a great alchemist she was, I thought that maybe I could get some useful information from her, but I didn't expect that she didn't know either.

From this, it seems that she is not aware of any recipe involving this spiritual herb. Otherwise, with her status as an alchemist, she would definitely be able to recognize this spiritual herb at a glance.

Seeing the disappointment on Nan Yuhong's face, and Jing Yueli really wanted to know more about this spiritual herb, she changed the subject and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.

"If you trust me, you can give me this herb. I can study it and maybe find some useful clues from it."

Nan Yuhong's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand and handed the spiritual herb to Jing Yueli, "Really? Can you really research it?"

The spiritual herb thus came into Jing Yueli's hands. Jing Yueli did not expect that Nan Yuhong would give it to her as soon as he said so. She just asked tentatively.

"If I can find any information about this magical herb, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

"Then...how can I find you after I leave the secret realm?" Jing Yueli thought, testing you once is also testing you once, it's better to ask all the questions she wants to ask at once.

Nan Yuhong became cautious instead. He stood up, bowed deeply to Jing Yueli and said, "I am Nan Yuhong, the eldest son of the Lord of Huanyue City!"

"What?!"

Several other people in the team also spoke up at the same time.

When he and Jing Yueli were whispering over there, everyone pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.

Jing Yueli looked back and saw Leng Tianchao, Leng Tianshuang, and Si Mojue all looking at Nan Yuhong.

Jing Yueli finally understood at this time, "She said that the name Nan Yuhong was weird, now she finally knows what's weird about it!"

"You are the eldest son of the Lord of Huanyue City, so what about Nan Yufeng? You...you are not who I thought you were, right?" The person who said this was Leng Tianshuang.

Nan Yuhong: "If the Nan Yufeng you are talking about is Nan Yufeng from Yunhai College, then he is my biological brother."

"Hahaha, the flood really has rushed to the Dragon King Temple! Family members don't recognize each other!" Leng Tianchao laughed out loud and sighed.

Jing Yueli didn't expect the result to be like this, it was a bit dramatic.

"You know my brother?"
