"what happened?"

At this point, his voice suddenly returned to normal, or rather, it regained its former maturity.

Fang Qingyou was puzzled. She looked at Xiaoyaozi's Adam's apple several times, almost thinking that there was something wrong with her hearing.

However, reason told her that she must not have heard it before.

Just now, Xiaoyaozi's voice sounded really young.

If she hadn't noticed something unusual about his throat, she would have almost thought he was using some kind of voice changer.

If Xiaoyaozi is really only in his twenties, then his current "face" must be another disguise.

Xiaoyaozi felt a little uneasy under Fang Qingyou's gaze. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but want to see if he could tear off her face.

The result, of course, was yes, because the mask on his face was indeed a disguise.

At this moment, the expression on this disguised face was only slightly stiff, while his true face was flushed red.

That brat dared to openly bully her master.

Knowing full well that she didn't have a master's wife yet, he still pressed him to ask if he had given her a junior brother or sister!

That naughty girl!

"Master, you..."

Just as Fang Qingyou was about to ask the question that had been bothering her, her expression changed slightly, because she saw a figure in dark ink walking towards them.

Clearly, this figure was Luo Qianmo.

When Luo Qianmo walked over, his indifferent gaze instantly captured her eyes, as if he wanted to lock in the light in her eyes, or as if he wanted to see into her heart through her eyes.

Xiaoyaozi also noticed Luo Qianmo's arrival, and with a slight glance to the side, he indeed saw that dark figure.

His face immediately showed a look of relief and reassurance.

The kid is finally back.

Although I already knew he was back, seeing him in person finally put my mind at ease.

However, the disguised face wore a calm expression: "Eighth Prince."

It was Xiaoyaozi's privilege not to bow to Luo Qianmo.

The others quickly bowed respectfully to him, saying, "Eighth Prince."

"Divine Physician Xiaoyaozi." Luo Qianmo nodded slightly to Xiaoyaozi, but his gaze went through him to Fang Qingyou.

Although Fang Qingyou was reluctant, she still stepped forward and curtsied to him, saying, "Eighth Prince."

Otherwise, should we ask her to ignore Luo Qianmo in front of so many people?

She really wanted to do that, but she was afraid that rumors of her disrespect for the royal family would soon spread.

She dared to do that on the way back to Lingnan City because she knew that Xuanlan and the others wouldn't say anything.

However, Lingnan City is now a mixed bag, and since she doesn't know what Xiaoyaozi's purpose is, she still doesn't want him to see too much.

Luo Qianmo's gaze remained fixed on Fang Qingyou. Seeing this, Xiaoyaozi left with the doctors and imperial physicians.

Before leaving, Xiaoyaozi winked at Fang Qingyou with a grin.

He hadn't said a word, but Fang Qingyou's face instantly turned bright red with embarrassment, because his eyes told her that she must seize the opportunity to spend time with Luo Qianmo.

However, I remembered his words about wanting to attend the wedding banquet soon...

Luo Qianmo didn't seem to care much about Xiaoyaozi's departure; it seemed that only Fang Qingyou could stir his heart.

Fang Qingyou was extremely annoyed. Xiaoyaozi had been mocking her for so long, and she had finally found a chance to retaliate, but she could only watch him leave helplessly.

She lost this round again.

Moreover, she didn't understand why Xiaoyaozi was so keen on bringing her and Luo Qianmo together. Was it because she was his disciple, which made it easier for him to get closer to Luo Qianmo?

However, he knew perfectly well that she harbored resentment towards him, so this approach was clearly not going to work.

What's even more puzzling is why Xiaoyaozi would save Fang Runtin and Lingnan City?

If he were truly an enemy, then logically this would be the best opportunity to strike them down; he has no reason not to harm them but to help them instead.

Did he help them just to gain their trust?

Fang Qingyou was unaware that the more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and the less she could find an answer. She only felt that Xiaoyaozi was becoming increasingly difficult to understand.

Little did he know that when his back was to Fang Qingyou, Xiaoyaozi's confusion deepened even further.

When Fang Qingyou came back this time, he felt that something had changed about her, not just in her appearance, but it seemed that her body itself had changed.

He had only vaguely sensed it at first, but when Luo Qianmo came over and stood next to her, he suddenly felt an extremely familiar aura.

Is that the scent of the sacred spring?

This thought immediately excited Xiaoyaozi.

Several years ago, the high priest had already foreseen the opportunity for the holy spring to revive.

Over the years, he has been traveling all over the world in search of this opportunity.

He had observed Madam She and approached Luo Qianmo, but had not discovered anything.

Therefore, he always thought that the opportunity had not yet appeared.

But now, he can clearly feel the aura of the sacred spring. Does this mean that the sacred spring has been revived?

What exactly was that turning point?

Was it on Fang Qingyou or on Luo Qianmo? If it was on them, why hadn't he noticed it before?

Could it be related to the place they went to this time?

If he wasn't mistaken, the place they were going to this time was Hengnan Mountain, probably to search for Lanwu Yuzhi.

Could that opportunity have arisen on Hengnan Mountain?

Xiaoyaozi felt a little regretful. In fact, when he realized that Luo Qianmo and Fang Qingyou had left Lingnan City, he originally intended to secretly follow them.

Unexpectedly, not long after they left, a strange and violent plague broke out in Lingnan City.

He wanted to just leave, but he couldn't bear to leave Fang Runting and She Ruifeng.

One was the disciple's older brother, and the other was Madam She's husband.

In addition, tens of thousands of lives were lost; if he had been heartless enough to leave back then, those people would probably be skeletons by now.

However, he was worried about Luo Qianmo and Fang Qingyou, and he was also worried that everyone in Lingnan City would die. He couldn't face them, and besides, he didn't want all of them to die.

So, in the end, not only did he fail to leave, but he was also trapped in Lingnan City, and he has been trapped there ever since.

Xiaoyaozi couldn't help but wonder if he had gone with them back then, would he have been able to find out the reason for the Holy Spring's revival and determine what exactly happened?

However, it's too late to say all this now.

Thinking about the aura he had just sensed, he should quickly determine whether the person who triggered the opportunity was Luo Qianmo or Fang Qingyou before deciding on his next move.
