Xue Fanxin did not dare to stay in the Hundred Potions Hall for too long. Even if there were still good things in it, he would have to leave immediately. After Bai Han left, he did too.
Before leaving, he burned down the Hundred Potions Hall.
Seeing the fire, someone immediately came to extinguish it. However, the flames were too strong and could not be extinguished no matter how hard they tried. It was only when someone ran to the residence of the Imperial Adviser to report on the matter that the Imperial Adviser brought in experts and put out a fire. At that moment the Hundred Potions Hall had burned beyond recognition.
The Imperial Adviser was a middle-aged man. When the fire was extinguished, he immediately rushed in and went to the secret room. Seeing that the person had already disappeared, his expression turned ugly.
"Where'd he go?"
Not many people in the Hundred Potions Hall knew that there was a secret room here, nor did they know that there was a person locked in that secret room. Hence, when the Imperial Adviser asked angrily, no one said a word.
“Junk, all of you are useless. What's the point of me raising you useless people?” The Imperial Advisors were furious. He kicked several people before going to the scene to look for clues. When he saw the key of the chain open, he was very confused.
This key is unusual. Unless someone has a key, they can't be opened. And the key was on him, not leaving his side for a moment, but the lock was already open. What the hell is going on?
The Imperial Advisors could not understand it. Then, he remembered that there was another important thing in that secret room. He quickly went to investigate, but everything had disappeared.
“Sial, shit..”.
“Someone, lock the whole city. No one is allowed in or out. Xu Ming, immediately bring people to find him. Bai Han was seriously injured. Even if he had escaped from the Hundred Potions Hall, he could not get out of the Imperial City. No matter what, even if you have to ransack every house, he should be arrested.”
"Yes." Yeah." A cold young man standing next to the Imperial Adviser received the order and left.
The Imperial Adviser looked to the empty secret room and thought of the Hundred Potions Hall that had burned beyond recognition. He was so angry that his whole body hurt. However, the most important thing now was not to lose control of his emotions but to report on the matter.
If Bai Han were to escape, his revenge would be unbearable for the entire Nanling Empire.
“Go, prepare the train immediately. I have to go to the palace.”
It was already midnight, and the gates of the palace had long been sealed shut. However, the Imperial Adviser had a special status and had urgent matters to report. Not only did he enter the palace in the middle of the night, but he also managed to see the emperor and report the matter to him.
When the emperor found out that Bai Han had escaped, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. He's very panicked. "Whatdidyou say? Bai Han fled? How's it possible?"
"Your Majesty, Bai Han has indeed escaped. He can't escape alone. Someone must have helped him. I've ordered people to investigate this matter. Many precious spirit herbs had also been lost in the Hundred Potions Hall. I think it must be the person who helped Bai Han escape who stole it.”
“The Imperial Palace Marrow Cleansing Bath was also stolen not too long ago. Could it be the same person?” When the emperor thought of the disappearing Marrow Cleansing Bath, his heart ached. However, no matter how he searched, he was unable to find any clues. He could only accept this matter.
No one in Nanling Empire could easily enter the palace and steal the entire Marrow Cleansing Bath unless one was from somewhere else.
If that were true, everything would be bad.
The Marrow Cleaning Baths had been stolen, Bai Han had escaped, and the Nanling Empire was in danger.
“Give the order to capture Bai Han by all means. Also, Xue Batian could not stay any longer.”
No matter how anxious the emperor and Imperial Advisors were, Xue Fanxin did not care. He quietly returned to the Duke's Residence and returned to his room through the window. Then, she changed her night clothes.
Ye Jiushang had been waiting for Xue Fanxin in the room. He even purposely fused his aura. The darkness of the night fused with his body, making it impossible to discern them.
He wanted to wait for Xue Fanxin to come back and see how arrogant this little girl was. Who knew that he would start changing clothes after returning and did not even realize that he was in the room?
What a careless girl. Thank goodness it was him tonight. What if it was someone else?
"Little girl, shouldn't you check if there's anyone in the room before you change clothes?" Seeing that Xue Fanxin had not noticed him for a long time, Ye Jiushang was extremely displeased. He had no choice but to speak.
Xue Fanxin really did not know that Ye Jiushang was inside the room. He had already taken off half of his clothes and was frightened with that sudden voice. “Ah... you... why are you here?”
Although he was terrified, Xue Fanxin quickly recovered and continued to change clothes. He did not mind doing it in front of Ye Jiushang at all.
He was still wearing a thick inner shirt. What to fear?
Ye Jiushang found it difficult to understand Xue Fanxin's thoughts. Seeing that he did not mind his presence, he said sadly, “In the future, you should not change clothes randomly in front of other men. Did you hear me?”
“I still wear a lot of clothes inside. Not that I'm revealing anything. Why are you so anxious?” Xue Fanxin had already changed her clothes and was hiding her night clothes. He calmed down after completing his task.
When he escaped from the Hundred Potions Hall, he happened to see the Imperial Advisor leading the experts towards the Hundred Potions Hall. If the people from the Imperial Advisory House came knocking on his door, wouldn't it be terrible if he was still wearing his night clothes back then?
Hence, he could only relax a little after changing his clothes.
However, Ye Jiushang did not think about that. His expression turned ugly as he warned Xue Fanxin earnestly, “Listen to me. You can't change in front of other men in the future, or I'll lock you up.”
How can his companion be seen by other men?
Xue Fanxin did not bother to argue with Ye Jiushang. He said nonchalantly, "Alright, alright, I won't change in front of another man."
Ye Jiushang naturally knew that Xue Fanxin had only said it on the surface. However, he had a way to deal with this little girl. He threw away the big sack from before. “This is the spirit herb you stole tonight. Bring 'em. If you do something that makes me unhappy in the future, I will punish you properly.”
"alright then. I've agreed not to change in front of another man. What else do you want?" When Xue Fanxin saw the spirit herbs, she no longer wanted to care about Ye Jiushang. All his attention was on the spirit herbs. He took out the stuff inside and looked at it. "Wow .. I committed murder tonight!"
“That's just some worthless stuff. Look how happy you are.”
“What is worthless? It's very valuable, okay?”
“A frog at the bottom of a well is stupid. Enjoy yourself. I have other things to do.” Ye Jiushang did not stay for long. He looked at Xue Fanxin a few more times and realized that the attention of this little girl was all fixed on the spirit herbs. He didn't notice her at all, so he was very unhappy.
But so what?
Sooner or later, he would make this little girl just have him in her heart.
