He Yanting looked at Professor Jing with eyes full of hostility, looking at the person in front of him as if he were looking at a piece of rotten meat.

He took a deep breath and buried his head back into Jiang Zhiyu's neck.

If you want to ask, you can't ask now.

"So, you're still doing this research? Where's the lab?"

When this was mentioned, Professor Jing's eyes flashed with contempt.

"It's the place you can't enter, the First Base."

The First Base does not accept civilians, only those with special abilities, and they must be strong ones at that.

The psychics who can call the shots and be treated as honored guests in other bases may not even be able to touch the door of the First Base.

He scoffed, "Don't waste your time. Anyone who trespasses into the First Base will, without exception, become food for the flowers. Even if you have the Zombie King, what good is he? Can he alone defeat the thousands of powerful psychics in the base?"

"Put me back quickly."

The young man behind the captain raised his lips and smiled: "What First Base? It's just a bunch of villains. Come on, I'll take you back to your hometown and let them meet you."

…

Outside the maze, when the Jinyiwei got up, they just saw those people coming out.

From the looks of it, they were also injured.

The two Jinyiwei looked at each other, and at the same time, they turned their internal energy and ran towards the city.

Are you kidding? It could be so powerful that they were affected even though they were so far away. So many people went in and all came out with injuries. It goes without saying that this must be the person they are looking for!

Only the two of them had seen it, and as long as they ran fast, the credit would be theirs!

With this thought in mind, both of them gathered their strength and moved as fast as meteors. Of course, they had to walk to the palace to meet the emperor.

As soon as the two men walked outside the imperial study, they heard the voice of their immediate superior coming from inside.

"Your Majesty, I have already investigated and found that the thief is now in the dense forest outside the city. He has set up a maze, so you cannot easily set foot there."

They both: “…”

No, he knows?

Aren't there just the two of them?!

The two men left in disgrace, and the captain who was reporting in the imperial study felt bad too.

As soon as he received the news, he rushed to the palace, but was almost overtaken by the two guys. Fortunately, they had to go through some inspection before they could see the emperor, so they were delayed a little.

But the emperor was clearly not satisfied with this little information. He sneered, "If you can't set foot here lightly, how are we going to apprehend the thieves? Or are you going to tell me that there isn't a single person in the Jinyiwei who can break the formation?"

This... really doesn't exist.

Not to mention how difficult it is to learn how to break the formation, now that you have become a Jinyiwei, who would still be willing to sit down and study those things?

The captain dared not say a word. The emperor narrowed his eyes dangerously and said, "I think you are still too full."

Qianhu continued to remain silent.

"Within five days, no matter what means you use, you must bring the person back. Otherwise, you don't have to come back."

Qianhu: "Yes!"

…

Xu Mansion.

The effect of the medicine wore off, and the horrifying purple spots on Jiang Zhiyu's body reappeared, and they looked even more obvious than before. Jiang Sulan's lips trembled.

Xiao Mingye was also here today, and he went to look for clues. He sat next to Bai Yan.

He looked dejected. If he had ears, they would have drooped down by now.

"Your Highness, don't worry. At least their lives are safe."

Xiao Mingye let out a long sigh.

Bai Yan: “…”

In the silence, a large number of footsteps were heard. A few people looked up and saw that everyone was walking back one by one.

He didn't go into the house, but just knelt on the ground outside the yard.

Jiang Sulan took a breath of cold air.

"you……"

"We have found the thief's whereabouts, but we are too weak to capture him. Please punish me, young lady."

Hearing this, Jiang Sulan breathed a sigh of relief. She was scared to death.

"It's good to find the trace. Who saved Ayiduo?"

"It's Senior Chao Haishengchao, a hermit master. But from our observation, Senior Chao would not be our enemy. But why did he save Ayiduo? Senior Chao did not explain clearly."

"If he won't become our enemy, then there's a chance this matter will turn around." Jiang Sulan's lips were cracked, and her voice was a little hoarse. "Senior Chao, what can I do for you?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Jiang Sulan's eyes: "Where is he? I'll go see him in person."

"No," everyone retorted in unison, "Senior Chao had already said when we left that he wouldn't let us off next time. We better think long-term."

"We need to think long-term? How can we wait?" Xiao Mingye, who had heard everything clearly from inside the house, couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure he'll always be there? His place has been discovered. If he doesn't want to be disturbed, he'll definitely move. How will we find him then?"

Everyone lowered their heads, and Xiao Mingye stepped out: "Hermit master? I'll go meet him."

"Your Highness, this..." Jiang Sulan started to speak but was interrupted by Xiao Mingye: "Don't try to persuade me. If I can't beat you, I will admit defeat. No matter how weak I am, I am still a prince. Even if he wants to touch me, he must consider his status and the price of touching me."

Although the tone was firm, the content of the words was not domineering at all.

What does it mean that he will admit defeat? Shouldn't the tone of voice mean that he will not lose?

Jiang Sulan was also in a state of confusion because of him. She said hesitantly, "Well...then, Your Highness, please be careful?"

Xiao Mingye waved his hand: "Someone come and lead the way."

The young man named Xu stood up.

His injuries were minor compared to others, not to mention.

"My father and Senior Chao are old acquaintances. If anything were to happen, at least Senior Chao would not kill me out of consideration for this."

He whispered.

Xiao Mingye put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Come on, lead the way... But brother, you're so thin, is the food so bad?"

The young man surnamed Xu: "..."

His short stature was a problem for him, and Xiao Mingye's words undoubtedly hit a sore spot for him.

but……

"The food is okay, but I'm running around all day, so I'm bound to be a little thinner."

What can he do? He can only endure it.

Xiao Mingye sighed softly, "That won't do. Look at your shoulders. I'm doing the work of two of you. Where are you usually? I'll have someone send you some nourishment."

The young man named Xu was flattered, but he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

The Third Prince asked in such detail, was he trying to trick him?

But after meeting Xiao Mingye's clear eyes, the young man named Xu silently wiped away the doubts in his heart.

The prince is obsessed with you, and you actually doubt his ulterior motives?!

He is not human at all!

After reprimanding himself, he whispered, "Thank you, Your Highness. I usually stay on the roof of the Xu Mansion..."

The young man named Xu's voice stopped abruptly, and Xiao Mingye also widened his eyes slightly.

What did he say?

On the roof?
