Upon seeing that figure, Xiaoyaozi excitedly cried out, "My dear granddaughter, my dear granddaughter, I'm here, here!"

puff……

Fang Qingyou's hard-won composure crumbled once again.

They say a teacher for a day is a father for life, but Xiaoyaozi is different; he's become a grandfather figure.

Also, I wonder if her master has night vision, how could he recognize her from such a distance?

Xiaoyaozi's reaction caused all the guards to turn their gazes in this direction.

Fang Qingyou walked over reluctantly, enduring all those stares.

Seeing that Fang Qingyou was a woman, the lead guard spoke first, asking, "Young lady, are you Miss Fang? And this gentleman, are you your grandfather?"

“Brother Guard, my surname is indeed Fang, and I should be the Miss Fang you mentioned. And this gentleman is indeed my grandfather.” Fang Qingyou responded, but the word “grandfather” sounded particularly stiff.

The head guard, seeing that Fang Qingyou was around fourteen years old, believed she was most likely the rumored Miss Fang. He politely explained, "Miss Fang, your grandfather deliberately created panic among the people, so we have to send him to the Jingzhao Prefecture. We hope you can understand."

“Brother Guard…” Fang Qingyou seemed to want to say something, but paused slightly, then sighed heavily: “Brother Guard, please don’t blame Grandpa. He didn’t do it on purpose, but… but he…”

Fang Qingyou made a face and pointed to her head.

The leading guard was taken aback at first, then understood what she meant, and looked at Xiaoyaozi with pity.

No wonder this old man was wandering the streets in the middle of the night; he must have something wrong with his head!

He looks quite healthy for his age; who would have thought he had this kind of illness?

Xiaoyaozi's face immediately darkened. How could he not be angry? His disciple actually said he was mentally ill!

While observing the expression of the lead guard, Fang Qingyou helplessly winked at Xiaoyaozi: "Master, let's just bear with it for now and get through this! As long as we can get away, pretending to be mentally ill is no big deal!"

In truth, Fang Qingyou's inner thoughts were: "Hmph, Master, what goes around comes around, right?"

He could be her grandfather, or he could be mentally ill, cough cough.

“Miss Fang…” The head guard was somewhat troubled. The law is lenient towards mentally ill patients, but what Xiaoyaozi did was a real thing, and he couldn’t just be let off the hook like that.

His subordinates told him that Xiaoyaozi was pretending to be a ghost and wandering around several streets, scaring the locals half to death.

Fang Qingyou realized that the head guard probably wouldn't let it go, so she immediately interrupted him: "Brother guard, to be honest, Grandpa's illness is very serious and it's getting worse. He's reached the point where he can't control his own actions. Look at all the things he's done now. He won't remember any of them when he wakes up."

Fang Qingyou really wanted the head guard to put Xiaoyaozi in jail, but if she did that, Xiaoyaozi would definitely use Luo Qianmo to pressure the guards again.

And she really didn't want to have too much to do with Luo Qianmo anymore.

Dear Fang Qingyou, people say they consider you a friend, but that's just talk. If you take it seriously, you've already lost.

In that case, she might as well find a way to extricate Xiaoyaozi herself.

"Miss Fang, with your medical skills, can't you cure Grandpa?" The head guard knew that Miss Fang was a highly skilled doctor, so he couldn't help but ask.

Fang Qingyou shook her head sadly: "Some illnesses are beyond human control."

Just then, Xiaoyaozi, who had been hopping and skipping, suddenly stopped, looking left and right, and then cried out in terror, "Ah, where am I? Where is this place..."

The lead guard was startled by Xiaoyaozi's reaction, and then his eyes showed even more sympathy.

Just as the lead guard was about to relent, Xiaoyaozi suddenly broke through the group of guards, running wildly and shouting, "Miss Fang, Miss Fang, help! Someone is trying to kill me..."

Looking at Xiaoyaozi's frenzied back, Fang Qingyou was speechless.

The head guard was clearly prepared to let Xiaoyaozi go, so what is he doing now that he's doing this?

“Miss Fang, your grandfather…” The leading guard was genuinely worried about Xiaoyaozi; when the old man had an attack, he wouldn’t even recognize his own granddaughter.

"Brother Guard, my grandfather has had another attack. I'll go and bring him back right away." Fang Qingyou replied to the head guard and then ran after Xiaoyaozi.

The lead guard was relatively kind; if I acted pitiful for a while, he would soften. But if it were one of the other guards, this matter wouldn't be so easily resolved.

Therefore, Fang Qingyou must find a way to stop Xiaoyaozi.

However, Xiaoyaozi ran as fast as a rabbit, chasing Fang Qingyou until her legs went weak, but she still couldn't catch up with him, until Xiaoyaozi was blocked by another group of people.

Seeing the situation, the lead guard led a group of guards over.

However, looking at Fang Qingyou's running figure, he felt that she seemed somewhat familiar. Had he seen her somewhere before?

Fang Qingyou could vaguely see that the group of people were all carrying swords and knives, but they were also carrying lanterns. They did not seem to be city patrol guards, but rather guards from some mansion.

Fang Qingyou's heart tightened suddenly. If Xiaoyaozi's matter escalated, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get him out even if she wanted to.

So, Fang Qingyou gritted her teeth and hurried over.

When Fang Qingyou arrived, she didn't see him being captured and interrogated. Instead, she saw the guards treating him with great respect.

Fang Qingyou was wondering when she saw Xiaoyaozi waving at her with a grin and saying, "Ha, look, look, my dear granddaughter is here. My dear granddaughter, come here quickly!"

At that moment, Fang Qingyou really wanted to faint; she didn't want to admit that she had such a "grandfather".

As they got closer, Fang Qingyou realized that these guards were actually from the Eighth Prince's residence, and the one leading them was Xuan Zhu.

"Miss Fang, didn't you go home today? Why are you still in the city?"

Seeing Xuan Zhu's respectful manner towards Fang Qingyou, Xiaoyaozi's eyes flashed, and a sharp glint flashed across them.

"I missed the time to leave the city today," Fang Qingyou lied without batting an eye.

“Miss Fang, it’s inconvenient for you to bring your grandfather along. If you want to leave the city, I can take you with me.”

Fang Qingyou was about to say no, but Xiaoyaozi clapped his hands happily: "Great, great, I want to leave the city, I want to leave the city!"

Fang Qingyou nearly vomited blood. "Master, you need to take your medicine!"
