Li Jiuge didn't believe Lushu's words. After all, she and Ji Yunxi had grown up together, so she knew well what kind of person her friend was.
"You're talking nonsense. I've heard about the rules of Dreamy Elegance Pavilion since I was a child. Yunxi and I grew up together. It couldn't have been her who set those rules."
Seeing her so sure, Lushu couldn't help but want to laugh, but he didn't expose her. "I'm just joking."
Ji Yuchen didn't care about their banter. Instead, he seriously asked Ji Yunxi.
"What's your plan next, Yunxi? Go back or...?"
Ji Yunxi did miss home a bit. But when she turned her head and saw Feng Xingzhi, she remembered his purpose of coming to Xirong. So she said, "We won't go back for the time being. I still haven't found a way to cure my headache. Although the intervals between the attacks have become longer, the pain is getting stronger. So we still need to seek medical advice."
"Which doctor do you plan to find?"
Feng Xingzhi stepped forward to explain. "There's an elder in the Jiang family of Xirong who specializes in researching difficult and complicated diseases. Although he returned to the Jiang family a few days ago, we left before seeing him. I intend to take Xixi to look for him again."
"Brother, I still have some things I want to know."
She didn't specify, but Ji Yuchen already understood.
Feng Xingzhi also knew that what Ji Yunxi was referring to was the memories he couldn't remember.
"In that case, then do as you wish. Please take good care of her, Your Highness."
Seeing that his elder brother allowed his younger sister not to go back, Ji Yunyi was a little anxious. He always thought about the blood contract Ji Yunxi had signed, and he felt even more uncomfortable.
"Yunxi, I..."
He hesitated to speak several times. Fortunately, Ji Yunxi understood what he meant. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Brother, I still have something to tell you. I signed a blood contract with someone. The other party threatened me with Jiuge's life, so I..."
Ji Yuchen frowned tightly. "What did he want you to sign the blood contract for?"
"He said that when the time was right, he needed me to wake someone up. But don't worry, brother. The blood contract may not be impossible to break."
After a long silence, Ji Yuchen finally spoke. "I see. I'll also send people to find a way to solve this."
After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave. Li Jiuge looked at his expression and thought that it was all because of her that Yunxi had suffered such a disaster. I'm afraid she and Ji Yuchen were destined to have no future together.
Who would have thought that Ji Yunxi suddenly shouted, "Brother, are you going back empty-handed like this?"
Only then did Ji Yuchen remember his purpose of coming here. He quickly turned around and picked up the person in his arms, his movements very skillful.
Li Jiuge blushed and nestled in his arms, stunned for a moment.
"I'll take the princess back to the capital first. The emperor has been worried." Then he looked at Ji Yunyi. "Do you want to stay or go back to the capital with me?"
Ji Yunyi originally wanted to go back and have a good rest. But when he saw his elder brother and the princess, he thought that he'd better not disturb them. So he declined Ji Yuchen's invitation.
"Brother, I'll stay with my little sister for a few days and then go back. You go first."
Ji Yuchen nodded and led his troops away directly, leaving Ji Yunxi standing there stupidly, tugging at Feng Xingzhi's sleeve.
"My elder brother carried your sister away, right?"
"That's right."
"Should I call her sister-in-law or sister in the future?"
Feng Xingzhi's eyes curved with a smile. "Either is okay."
Ji Yunyi wanted to say something, but as soon as he made a sound, he was glared at by Feng Xingzhi.
Fine. He wasn't welcome here either.
"Forget it. I seem to be redundant here. I'll just stroll back to the capital by myself."
Ji Yunxi called him back and gave him the token of Dreamy Elegance Pavilion. "Second brother, if you have any trouble, you can go to any branch of Dreamy Elegance Pavilion for help."
"It seems that I can really rely on my little sister to live off of."
"Be careful on your way."
After seeing off Ji Yunyi, there were only a few people left.
Everyone had been on a long and bumpy journey these days and had climbed a snow mountain. They were already exhausted.
Ji Yunxi then led the people to a small town at the foot of the mountain to rest for a while. After a full meal, they all fell into a drowsy sleep.
Unfortunately, Ji Yunxi didn't sleep for long before she heard Lushu's voice.
She opened her eyes and saw a disciple of Dreamy Elegance Pavilion talking to Lushu.
"Ashu, what happened?"
"Master, we've found out the whereabouts of that elder of the Jiang family!"
Perhaps because he was too excited, Lushu's voice was a bit loud, which woke up Feng Xingzhi who had just fallen asleep.
Hearing the news about that elder, none of them felt sleepy anymore.
"Reporting to the master, this person is now in the territory of Beidi. He entered the city three days ago. Our people tracked him all the way, but unfortunately he escaped."
Ji Yunxi thought for a moment. "It seems that this person is very capable. He could easily detect the people who were tracking him."
"Yes, this subordinate is incompetent."
"It doesn't matter. But now his whereabouts are unknown..."
The disciple raised his head slightly. "Don't worry, master. Our people saw him this morning, so he must still be in the territory of Beidi."
Lushu was a little disappointed. "But even so, we don't know where this person will go. Isn't it like looking for a needle in a haystack?"
His words made the atmosphere a bit heavy.
Fortunately, Feng Xingzhi spoke up in time. "I remember that besides being fond of researching medicine, this person likes to go to the music workshop the most. Maybe we can start from this aspect."
The word "music workshop" flashed through Ji Yunxi's mind, and some scattered pictures suddenly appeared.
Noisy guests, a graceful woman on the stage...
"Master?"
Qingxuan was beside Ji Yunxi and found that she was in a daze.
Calling out two or three times in succession, Ji Yunxi didn't respond. Feng Xingzhi realized that she might have thought of something, so he covered Qingxuan's mouth.
"Don't talk. Don't disturb her."
At this moment, Ji Yunxi seemed like a wandering soul, suddenly appearing in that scene. Looking at the familiar dance on the stage, she subconsciously followed it.
However, she couldn't get out of this strange place no matter what.
Suddenly, she thought that if she followed the people inside, she would only be walking around in the building. But if she followed the guests who came in from the outside, wouldn't she be able to get out?
She was right. She chose a man who was about to walk out of the door, and the scene suddenly changed.
The location of this building was excellent. It was in the busiest place, and there was a hubbub of voices all around. Ji Yunxi heard a lot of things. Turning her head, she finally saw the plaque of the building clearly.
Suddenly coming back to her senses, Ji Yunxi saw a pair of worried eyes.
"Azhi, let's go to a place first."
Although she didn't say where, Feng Xingzhi trusted her as always.
After resting for a night, the other disciples of Dreamy Elegance Pavilion were all arranged to return to their respective branches. Only the four of them were left.
Ji Yunxi was worried about Lushu's injury, but found that his shoulder had recovered a lot.
Only then did she reluctantly agree to take Qingxuan and Lushu with her.
The four of them rode their horses at full speed, leaving the small town and galloping in the opposite direction of Xirong. Soon they entered a bustling city - Biancheng.
