"Master, the Long Eagle has scoured the entire continent. It's found that several strands of your soul are suspected to be in the imperial palace of the Dan Kingdom, several in the territory of the Yuan Kingdom, and there also seems to be your aura in the Uz Kingdom..."
"The Uz Kingdom?"
The Long Eagle nodded. "Yes, it's that Uz Kingdom located in a remote area with harsh climate and environment."
Helan Yanting frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then nodded. "Okay."
"Master, your subordinate can tell that this body of yours probably won't last much longer. Currently, your soul hasn't been fully gathered, and the gu poison in your body hasn't been dispelled. If this continues, I'm afraid..."
If Yan Qi were to lift the curtain at this moment, he would see a black eagle perched on Helan Yanting's shoulder. What's even more astonishing is that this black eagle is speaking in a voice like that of the Long Eagle.
"The soul might not be so easy to gather. After the various strands of the soul have separated from the body, they might develop their own consciousness and may even be reluctant to return to this master's body."
At this point, Helan Yanting couldn't help but frown, and then continued.
"In comparison, dispelling the gu poison in this master's body is much simpler."
The Long Eagle nodded. "You're right, Master. Dispelling the gu poison is indeed simpler than retrieving all of your soul."
Helan Yanting nodded slowly. "Before this master entered this body, gu poison had already been planted in it. This master is certain that this gu poison must have been planted by someone when the original owner was in the Yuan Kingdom. As long as we go back to the Yuan Kingdom's imperial palace to investigate, we should be able to dispel it quickly."
"Master is absolutely right. In that case, does the Long Eagle still need to continue the search?"
"The search can't be neglected, and the information should be made as accurate as possible!"
"Yes, Master!"
"By the way, before you go on the search again, transfer your original subordinates to the territory of the Dan Kingdom. Report Yun Shu's situation to this master at any time. If she's in danger, immediately step in to save her. Under no circumstances can she be injured."
"Yes, Master! The Long Eagle will make the arrangements right away!"
After saying that, the Long Eagle didn't leave immediately. It looked a bit hesitant, its eyes rolling.
"Is there anything else?"
"Master, have you fallen in love with this woman?"
"Hmm?" Helan Yanting raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the Long Eagle. "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"Master, weren't you previously obsessed with that god? Well... let's not talk about that. Master, you clearly know that in her previous life, she was an inner - sect disciple of the Liuxian Sect and was highly regarded by the Immortal Liuyun. If she finds out your true identity, the Long Eagle is worried that she might be a threat to you."
"Long Eagle, when did this master's private affairs become your concern?"
Helan Yanting's face seemed to turn a bit colder. The威慑 in his tone made the Long Eagle's feathers on its wings tremble. "It was the Long Eagle's slip of the tongue! The Long Eagle will make the arrangements right away!"
Having said that, the Long Eagle quickly flew out of the carriage and took off into the sky as if fleeing.
Yan Qi was sitting on the cross - bar outside the carriage, half - asleep. Suddenly, he sensed something and quickly opened his eyes, turning his head to look into the sky. He saw a black eagle flying through the air. The black eagle circled above his head a few times, and a few black feathers fluttered down and landed on Yan Qi's head.
"What bad luck!" For some reason, Yan Qi felt that this black eagle seemed to be provoking him. The feathers landed in such a precise position that it felt like a thorn stabbing him and making him feel uncomfortable all over.
"What a bad bird!"
...
In the mansion of the Grand National Teacher in the Dan Kingdom.
Feng Yunshu was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt her face itch. She subconsciously reached out to scratch her cheek, but the itch persisted...
Feng Yunshu was half - asleep, puzzled. How could there be mosquitoes in the middle of winter?
"Such a nuisance!" Feng Yunshu had a terrible case of morning irritability. In a fit of annoyance, she slapped the buzzing thing on her face flat.
Although the itch on her face was gone, Feng Yunshu was still awakened. Still annoyed from being woken up during a good sleep, she opened her eyes. As soon as she sat up, she saw a piece of torn cloth fall off her body.
She glanced at the torn cloth and suddenly opened her eyes wide, instantly waking up completely.
This piece of torn cloth had Third Senior Brother's aura on it! And it wasn't a piece of her own clothing!
Feng Yunshu immediately picked up the cloth and saw a line of words written on it. "Little Junior Sister, don't go to the imperial palace. Concubine Mu is up to something!"
Feng Yunshu's heart skipped a beat. She soon noticed a trace of blood on the cloth. The aura of this blood was clearly Third Senior Brother's!
Oh no, Third Senior Brother is in trouble!
At this moment, Feng Yunshu had no trace of sleepiness left. Although Kong Ze had mentioned that there was a trap in the imperial palace, so what? How could she just sit back and watch Third Senior Brother be humiliated?
"Xiaoling, wake up quickly. Get ready and come with me to the imperial palace to save someone!"
Xiaoling had also been sleeping soundly. Hearing Feng Yunshu's urgent voice, she immediately opened her eyes and woke up.
"Master, master, what's happened? Who are we going to save in the imperial palace?"
"Save Third Senior Brother. He's in trouble."
"Ah? What's wrong with Third Senior Brother? Is there really someone in the Dan Kingdom's imperial palace who can deal with Third Senior Brother?"
Feng Yunshu frowned, and her expression became solemn.
"You've reminded me."
The last time the staff and the Immortal - Binding Rope had directly restricted her spiritual power. Now that she thought about it, Third Senior Brother might have been restricted in the same way.
If that was the case, she really couldn't go rashly. Otherwise, she'd fall right into Concubine Mu's trap.
"Xiaoling, let's get prepared first."
Having said that, Feng Yunshu went into the compartment where she made pills. She took all the poisons that might be useful and some pills that could quickly restore strength and heal wounds.
In addition, she secretly placed some hidden weapons she had made in her spare time in various places on her body.
She did all these things to prevent being helpless if her spiritual power was restricted and she couldn't use her skills.
However, this alone wasn't enough. After all, they were outnumbered. Just relying on her and Xiaoling would definitely not work. She had to find some reinforcements.
In the capital city of the Dan Kingdom, there weren't many people she knew and trusted. Soon, Feng Yunshu remembered the token Helan Yanting had left for her. Maybe she could use this token to find some reinforcements.
Before going to the Yixiang Arts House, Feng Yunshu decided to go to the Wuxiang Restaurant first.
She hadn't been to the Wuxiang Restaurant for a long time, and it had also been a while since she'd seen Chang Fang.
Soon, Feng Yunshu arrived at the Wuxiang Restaurant.
At this time, the Wuxiang Restaurant was already closed. Feng Yunshu walked to the back door of the restaurant with ease, planning to go in.
"Hey, who are you? Sneaking around our Wuxiang Restaurant in the middle of the night. We're already closed."
Feng Yunshu looked up and saw an unfamiliar waiter walking towards her, looking unhappy as he tried to drive her away.
Feng Yunshu looked at the waiter again, puzzled. Her memory was quite good, and she was sure she hadn't seen this waiter at the Wuxiang Restaurant before.
"You're a new waiter, right? I'm the head shopkeeper of the Wuxiang Restaurant. Is your Shopkeeper Jia here? I'm here to see him."
"What? You're the head shopkeeper of the Wuxiang Restaurant? Haha, miss, if you're going to tell a lie, at least come up with a more believable story. How could you be the head shopkeeper of our Wuxiang Restaurant? I've never heard of a shopkeeper like you in our restaurant!"
Xiaoling was angry at the waiter's rudeness. She bared her teeth at him. No one could stand this. It looked like Xiaoling was about to pounce on the waiter and scratch him.
Feng Yunshu didn't seem to care much. She took out a token from her waist. The words "Wuxiang Restaurant" were clearly engraved on the token. When the waiter saw the token, he was instantly stunned.
Although he didn't recognize Feng Yunshu, he knew this token very well. Only high - level employees of the Wuxiang Restaurant had this token.
"You, you really are..."
