Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Ye Shangyuan didn't sleep all night.

Unable to find Mu Xue's whereabouts, he could only secretly send people to monitor all the activities of the Prince Jing's mansion.

Naturally, they learned that Changsheng had come to their door in the middle of the night to ask for medicine.

He snorted coldly and said, "The men in the Mu family are all incredibly stupid."

“Of course! After driving away Miss Xue, we still have to go to other places to ask for the pills she refined,” Leng Quan chimed in.

"Send people to keep an eye on the Mu residence and the Jing Prince's residence. You and Ye San will continue to secretly investigate Mu Mu's whereabouts." Ye Shangyuan had just finished speaking when Ye San's voice came from the doorway.

"Found it!" Ye San shouted.

"Where?" Ye Shangyuan asked impatiently.

"Your Highness's guess is correct. Miss Mu went to Yuesheng Inn. I also found out that the inn's manager, Wang Qi, only took over the business last month," Ye San replied.

“But,” he paused.

Reizen asked from the side, "Just what? Can't you just finish what you're saying?"

"Your Highness, I've found out that Miss Mu went out with Manager Wang this afternoon, and hasn't shown up since. I've searched everywhere, but I haven't seen her." Ye San said, bowing his head.

Hearing this, Ye Shangyuan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

"It's alright. She's so smart, she must have guessed that someone was looking for her, so she's probably hiding," he said.

His tone was full of praise.

"But, Your Highness, isn't it too dangerous for Miss Xue, a young girl, to be accompanied by an old nanny and a maid?" Leng Quan said with some concern.

Although he had witnessed the martial prowess and superb medical skills of her people, in his eyes, no matter how powerful they were, Mu Xue was still just a thirteen-year-old girl.

"You underestimate her. Ordinary people are no match for her." A smile finally appeared in Ye Shangyuan's eyes.

He continued, "Leaving aside her unpredictable skills, her superb medical skills alone could easily have put me, even in my prime, in a difficult situation if I wasn't careful."

Ye San was surprised, as he had never witnessed Mu Xue's terrifyingly rapid increase in martial arts strength.

In his opinion, wasn't the prince's evaluation of Mu Xue a bit too high?

Leng Quan asked, "Should we continue searching?"

"Send people to keep a close eye on Prince Jing's residence and prevent Mo Shijie from finding Mu Mu. She'll come looking for me once things have calmed down," Ye Shangyuan said.

He sought out Mu Xue because she had suddenly left the manor, and he was afraid she would suffer mistreatment due to having nowhere to stay.

Now that I know she has made arrangements, I feel relieved.

"Ye San, who is the mastermind behind Cha Yuesheng Inn?" Ye Shangyuan suddenly asked.

He suddenly remembered the man who had left early and claimed to be Mu Xue's uncle.

Ye San was taken aback, then realized what he meant: "Yes. Is there anything suspicious about the Moonrise Inn, Your Highness?"

"We'll find out by checking," Ye Shangyuan said mysteriously.

Leng Quan also thought of Cang Lin, the man who had been in contact with them for two days.

This person appears casual, but in fact, he reveals his wariness towards them in every way, and his aura is also dangerous.

Cang Lin, who was enjoying a drink with Wang Qi, couldn't help but sneeze twice, "Achoo, achoo."

He sniffed and said, "Who's up in the middle of the night, talking about me like this?"

Wang Qi poured him a full glass of wine and said, "Perhaps someone is thinking of their master."

Cang Lin paused, his hand holding the wine glass still. He looked up at the moon and murmured to himself, "Thinking of me?"

But he killed all his relatives with his own hands. Who else could it be?

Wang Qi also remembered Cang Lin's background and advised, "Master has Miss with him now, so let bygones be bygones. How could those people be compared to Miss?"

Cang Lin concealed the deep look in his eyes and said, "That's right. Now I am Xiaoxue's family. I am his, and she is mine, my only family."

After saying that, he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, the aroma lingering on his lips and teeth.

He smiled and said to Wang Qi, "Send someone to keep a close eye on those things at Prince Jing's residence, so they don't disturb Xiao Xuexue."

Wang Qi hurriedly said, "Master, rest assured, I have already sent people to erase all traces of Miss's movements."

Cang Lin nodded in satisfaction and said, "She doesn't want anyone to know about this place, so I will help her protect this place and the people here."

"Alright, you've been busy for so long, go back and rest. I have to accompany Xiaoxue to the Wang family early tomorrow morning." Cang Lin got up, stretched, and waved his hand.

Afterwards, he went straight back to his room to rest.

Mu Xue slept soundly that night. She got up early to wash up and waited for Cang Lin to come and help her disguise herself so she could go to the Wang family.

Cang Lin walked in, yawning.

As soon as he entered the door, he complained, "Xiaoxuexue, why are we up so early?"

When Susu went to call him, he had just opened his eyes and was still a little dazed.

Su Su brought in a bowl of hangover soup and placed it in front of Cang Lin, saying, "Uncle, have some hangover soup."

"Yes, our Susu is very well-behaved," Cang Lin said with a smile, then picked up the hangover soup and drank it all in one gulp.

After seeing that he had finished drinking Mu Xue's drink, she said, "Wang Xuanze and I are old acquaintances. He helped me more than once in the past. That's why Mo Shijie holds a grudge against me. I suspect that he was framed."

Cang Lin became interested upon hearing this.

"What do you mean? I've also heard of the eldest son of the Wang family. He's handsome, virtuous, and talented—a true young talent. Could it be that he was secretly poisoned by Mo Shijie just because he helped you?" Cang Lin looked at Mu Xue with a smug expression.

"You're talking about him as a person, but some people see his background first," Mu Xue reminded her.

Cang Lin slapped his forehead and said, "That's right. Wang Baiqi only has a son and a daughter, so Wang Xuanze is his only son, and therefore the only heir of the Wang family!"

"So, if the person behind the scenes wants everything from the Wang family, they either need to win over Wang Xuanze or get rid of him," Mu Xue said.

"Then how can you be so sure that the person behind it is likely Mo Shijie?" Cang Lin was not in Yu Nan City and was not very clear about the relationship between her and Mo Shijie.

“Wang Xuanze is a low-key person, and he’s not one to meddle in other people’s business. As far as I know, the only time he’s offended someone by helping them was by helping me,” Mu Xue said.

Then she added, "Also, very few people know that he is the young master of the Wang family. Considering that he has helped me several times, the only people I can think of who would target him based on these two points are Mo Shijie and Mu Jiaojiao."

“Even if Mu Jiaojiao has Aunt An backing her up, there’s no way she could set up such a trap to harm Wang Xuanze. Don’t forget he has four experts by his side.” Mu Xue immediately ruled out Mu Jiaojiao.

“That’s right. Wang Xuanze has helped you more than once before, which makes Mo Shijie think that helping you is going against him and that you can’t be used by him, so he has to get rid of him without leaving a trace,” Cang Lin continued.

“That means the Wang family will only have one Wang Xin’er, and you’ve met her before,” Mu Xue said.

Cang Lin was taken aback; he didn't recognize the name.

So he asked, "I've seen it before? When?"

"The girl who was bidding against us for the Fire Dragon Grass at the Treasure Pavilion auction," Mu Xue reminded her.

"Her? That impatient little girl can't possibly support the Wang family," Cang Lin said dismissively, suddenly realizing.

Wang Xin'er is indeed incapable of supporting the Wang family.
