"Who's your Master?" The little thing sounded extremly nervous and it stared at Hua Qiyue coldly. Hua Qiyue tilted her head, saying, "My Master... I don't know either. He refuses to tell me his name. And it's hard to find him." She wasn't silly enough to tell others about her green jade gourd. Also, she wasn't silly enough to tell others about what she knew about Tianpi. Because just now, according to Tianpi's facial expression, she could speculate that there might exist resentment between he and this little thing. It would be troublesome if this little thing knew that she was Tianpi's apprentice. "Well..." the little thing was in a trance and there was a look of nostalgia in its eyes, "I miss the old days so much. It wasn't that bad to fight against each other. At least, they challenged me openly and honestly." Hearing the little thing's words, Hua Qiyue gasped. Sure enough... Yun Shimo suddenly too

Yun Shimo was struggling with the evil beasts when he heard the spirit animals behind him rushed up in a roar. The spirit animals and the evil beasts started to fight. Although the power of an evil beast was superior to a spirit animal's, there were too many spirit animals here. Neither could get better of the other group. Yun Shimo exhaled an unhurried breath. He was extremely baffled. These spirit animals and evil beasts had attacked him and Hua Qiyue together. They ought to belong to the same party. Why had they suddenly turned against each another? He turned back to look. Hua Qiyue had already collapsed unconsciousness to the ground. Yun Shimo frowned. He did not really understand how he was feeling inside. He rushed over to Hua Qiyue and helped her up. The fire became bigger, the temperature soared higher. Yun Shimo felt that he could not withstand it any longer. "Hua Qiyue, how are you? Wake up

Hua Qiyue knew that the Changlong Emperor had wanted the Stone Gnawing Tiger badly. After all, it was a rare creature and a spirit animal. "Qiyue pays her respects to Your Majesty." "Shimo pays his respect to Your Majesty!" The two of them went up and paid their obeisances. The Changlong Emperor hid the disappointment in his eyes. He asked indifferently, "Prince Nan, Princess Jinghua, so the Stone Gnawing Tiger has gotten away? Are you two hurt?" The Changlong Emperor's concern sounded quite feigned. Although Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo were carrying no injuries, their faces looked rather tired. After Shui Qianruo's return, the Changlong Emperor had thought that Hua Qiyue and Prince Nan had really gone after the Stone Gnawing Tiger. But he waited for ages and yet they were not back. They only returned after several hours. Shui Qianruo stood by Queen Liu's side, a cold smile flashing across his lips.

Tianci was immediately delighted upon hearing this. Striding out his little legs, he dashed toward Huangfu Shenglin. His young face was adorable. He seemed to have known Huangfu Shenglin before. Huangfu Shenglin gave a quiet smile. He pointed at the Qi Artist beside him. "Zongsheng, dismount and let Tianci sit on the horse." The Qi Artist named Zongsheng was quite unwilling. Yet he could not refuse since the Prince had explicitly asked him to. "Yes, Your Highness." Zongsheng acquiesced and leaped down the horse, motioning Tianci to get on. Tianci stared at him pitifully. "I... I don't know how to." Zongsheng became quite impatient, but he lifted the boy up the horse anyway. "Alright, alright, sit tight and don't fall." Tianci blinked his eyes, giving an extremely adorable smile. "Thank you, big brother." The young fellow had such a radiant smile. He looked as if he harbored not the leas

"Qiyue, how could you? Prince Nan is an alchemist very much valued by His Majesty. Didn't he save your life? He is not only Tianci's benefactor but also yours! As the saying goes, one must repay a favour many times over. You shouldn't neglect Prince Nan even if you won't repay him!" The Old Madame was anxious. She doted on this granddaughter of hers, yet also felt angry with her at the same time. Hua Qiyue gave a helpless sigh and helped the Old Madame over to take her seat. "Grandma, you needn't worry. Maybe father and Prince Nan have something to discuss?" The Old Madame frowned slightly. Tianci ran over and pulled at her with a crisp laugh. "Great-grandma, Tianci will ask daddy here for supper!" The Old Madame heard him and started to beam with delight. Before Hua Qiyue could respond, Tianci had scampered away. Hua Qiyue watched his disappearing figure and kept shaking her head. This young fellow was getting more and more cu
