While he was talking, Xiao Mingye never stopped, and his crazy laughter echoed throughout the room.

Although Jiang Zhiyu expressed understanding for his situation, he still:

[That’s about it.]

I just feel noisy.

It’s hard to imagine how full his lung capacity is.

【Hurry, eat, I want to show off my food! 】

He Yanting interrupted: "Everyone, the food is getting cold. Why don't we talk while we eat?"

The noise suddenly stopped, and several people responded to his words and sat down in their seats.

[Thank you, because of you, the four seasons are warm...]

He Yanting raised the corner of his mouth slightly and picked up some food for Jiang Zhiyu. Seeing her cheeks puff up, he chuckled and said, "Why do you think of this today?"

"What do you think, brother? Why are you trying to steal my girl for no reason?"

He Yanting lowered his eyes slightly, his aura suddenly becoming somewhat lonely. "I'm the only one in the mansion, you know. You ate with me a few days ago, and I might have gotten used to it. Now that I'm alone, I can't eat."

Jiang Zhiyu paused in chewing.

[It is true that the more people there are, the better the meal tastes.]

"I just thought you like Chef Ayuan's cooking. If we invite him to the General's Mansion, you might come more often."

His eyes dimmed slightly and looked particularly gloomy.

"I'm too selfish. I'll go and send Master Yuan back right now..."

He looked as if he was about to break into pieces.

Jiang Zhiyu suddenly felt a surge of guilt.

[Although the words are a bit teasing, but the person is indeed pitiful. ]

"It's a good thing for Master Yuan to earn more. Don't worry, you won't be eating alone in the future!"

Jiang Zhiyu patted his chest.

He Yanting's mind faltered at her words, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."

Jiang Zhiyu then continued to eat.

The others looked on in astonishment.

They all stared with their eyes wide open, looking He Yanting up and down carefully, with surprise in their eyes as if they had just met him.

Du Chen frowned slightly. Didn't the intelligence sent back earlier say that He Yanting was cruel and scheming?

This person cannot be equated with any of the adjectives in the intelligence sent back!

Although Xiao Mingye didn't notice what He Yanting said, he felt uncomfortable just by looking at his expression.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Mingye inexplicably thought of Ji Tong.

The meal was quickly finished. Xiao Mingye hurried back to coax Baihu, and pulled up Du Chen who was reluctant to leave. He said goodbye to everyone and left. Only the three of them were left in the room.

Jiang Zhiyu was staring at it in a daze, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

[That's not right. Why do you always eat alone? ]

[Aren't Su Bai and Du Chi his friends? ]

[And today, if I hadn't come, wouldn't they have eaten together? ]

He Yanting's smile froze on his face. Before Jiang Zhiyu could fully react, he said, "The emperor asked me to find the whereabouts of Nan Gu's witch doctor today. I remember you met him before?"

Jiang Zhiyu nodded: "I have seen it."

【According to the plot, he should be in the City God Temple outside the city.】

"That man is very persistent. I don't think he will return to Nan Gu now. There are so many guards in the capital, he must be outside the city."

[That's the tip, brother. There aren't many places outside the city, so you'll find it quickly.]

Please call me Lei Feng.

He Yanting's lips curled up slightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "You're very persistent? How do you know?"

"I used medicine to blackmail Tudola and the others before, but the witch doctor couldn't find out what was wrong, so he kept chasing me for questions. He chased me for almost ten blocks."

Jiang Zhiyu sighed softly, "Isn't this considered persistence?"

[Like a flat-headed brother.]

He Yanting: “…”

What is the flat-headed brother?

He Yanting didn't understand, but...

He paused for a moment, "Zhiyu, can I discuss something with you?"

…

The City God Temple was surrounded by people in three layers.

Bai Yan and the guard were pressed in the middle, with blood oozing from the corner of the guard's mouth and Bai Yan's eyes were red.

"I haven't heard from you in so many days. I thought you had already fled back to Nan Gu. It turns out you were hiding here."

Xiao Yanli stood in front of them with a smile on his face.

He half-knelt down, pinched Bai Yan's chin, turned his face left and right, and sneered, "People in the world have made the witch doctor sound like a miracle, but after seeing what I've seen today, it's nothing more than that."

Bai Yan frowned, ignoring the contempt in his words, and said in a deep voice: "Let go, I won't run away, I want to treat his injuries."

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Xiao Yanli glanced at him sideways. "If I let you go now, you'll probably just summon the poisonous insects, right? A mere guard, and you're treating his injuries?"

Bai Yan's lips were dark red, his cheeks were cold and pale, and his tone was filled with anxiety: "The poison is almost reaching his heart meridians. I will only heal his wounds, not do anything else!"

Hearing this, the guard's eyes turned red, blood was still oozing out of his mouth, but his fingers moved slightly.

There was hesitation in Xiao Yanli's eyes.

But it was not for the life of the guard, but because Bai Yan was still useful to him. If he became a mortal enemy with Bai Yan because of this, it would be bad.

He was about to speak when the two people who controlled Bai Yan fell backwards at the same time, with a cold light flashing in their throats.

Without the shackles, Bai Yan took the insect and stuffed it into the guard's mouth.

The crowd suddenly panicked. The guards blocked Xiao Yanli's way. Xiao Yanli shouted, "Who is it?!"

There were only about ten people coming. When Xiao Yanli saw the person leading the group, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

He Yanting said softly, "The Sixth Prince is quite resourceful. He found the person so quickly and brought... so many people with him."

When He Yanting said the following words, his tone was very light, but even so, Xiao Yanli still heard a strong threat in it.

"It turns out to be Master He. With such behavior, could it be that Master He is here to rescue the witch doctor?"

Xiao Yanli said in a cold tone, "Nan Gu is Prince Yu's accomplice. Young Master He, aren't you afraid that the Emperor will suspect you of collaborating with the enemy and treason?"

He Yanting's expression remained unchanged. "Sixth Prince, you are worrying too much. It was His Majesty who sent me to find the witch doctor. The witch doctor is still useful to His Majesty. If the Sixth Prince offends the witch doctor too much and makes him hate Tianqi, His Majesty will lose a useful person, which will be really bad for the Sixth Prince."

Xiao Yanli sneered, "If you say so, Master He, should I thank you?!"

He Yanting nodded slightly: "As long as the Sixth Prince understands."

"you!"

Xiao Yanli choked and looked at him angrily, not expecting him to actually agree.

"Now that the person has been found, please, Sixth Prince, hand him over to His Majesty."

Xiao Yanli gritted his teeth.

His original intention was to bring the person back to the palace first, and then bring him to the emperor after subduing Bai Yan.

But unexpectedly, He Yanting appeared to block the way!

He waved his hand and said, "This prince understands. Once he has treated them, he will send them both to the emperor."

He Yanting nodded, but showed no intention of leaving. A group of people stared at them.
