Shui Ningye looked at Jin Yi and asked lightly.

Jin Yi quickly replied, "I dare not. I absolutely do not mean that. I just think that Yuan Gu is a bit strange. After all, with such a big event happening right now, he actually said something would happen and it happened. And the most surprising thing is that the girl following behind him is also a strong person, and seems to be no less powerful than me. Such a young Spirit King, as the saying goes, when things are out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. This is what worries me the most."

Hearing Jin Yi's words, Shui Ningye couldn't help but frown and said, "Actually, what you said is not without reason. That girl is really too young, and she actually possesses such a terrifying cultivation level. Why is that? Who are they?"

"Alas, Your Highness, has you never investigated Yuan Gu, or is it that there is no relevant background for this person at all?" Jin Yi suddenly asked.

Shui Ningye's brows furrowed even more, and he said, "You're right. His identity is indeed not found out. But at that time, I thought it was normal that such a person could not be found out. After all, we don't have any very powerful intelligence systems. It's normal. But now that this incident has happened, to be honest, I am really worried and wonder if I was really careless."

"Your Highness, the most urgent thing right now is not to think about this. In fact, no matter who that guy is, his identity as a fourth-grade alchemist should be correct. I have seen the pills he has refined before. Some ordinary fourth-grade pills are almost as good as high-grade pills under his hands. There is no problem with his alchemy skills. Moreover, this guy should not do anything that is detrimental to the princess. What I am worried about is that he will raise the price! After all, they know that we are eager to wake the princess. Maybe he just wants to take this opportunity to see our reaction. The more anxious we are, the happier he may be, so that he can have whatever he wants! He has already asked for more than enough spiritual medicines and materials before. If we act too anxious this time, the conditions he will put forward may become more and more excessive in the future!"

After thinking about it, Jin Yi said.

"Hmm? You're worried about that?"

Shui Ningye's brows relaxed a little, and he said, "I actually hope it's the same as you worry about. At least it won't be a big deal. At most, we'll just bleed a lot. The worry is that this guy doesn't have any real knowledge or materials. Then we'll work in vain and Yaoyao won't wake up. This is the most fatal thing. Anyway, no matter what, waking up Yaoyao is the most important thing. I can't care about other things. Let alone the spiritual medicine and materials now, even if he asks for twice as much, as long as it can help wake Yaoyao up, I don't care!"

"Your Highness, what you said is not without reason. As long as we can wake the princess, we can find a way to get the elixir back. We have been here for six months, and we have more or less guessed at the princess's situation than those in the imperial capital. It has been more than six months. If we delay any further, once Your Highness's personal guards arrive, even I won't be able to help conceal the truth. Then this matter will be really troublesome."

"call……"

When Shui Ningye heard Jin Yi say this, his face suddenly became gloomy.

"In more than half a year, the imperial capital has sent inspectors three times. If it weren't for the coincidence that these three times were all my people, my father might have chopped off my head long ago!" Shui Ningye said in a low voice.

"Your Highness, don't worry so much. There will be a way. If there are more inspectors coming from the imperial capital, I will find a way to stop them." Jin Yi said.

"What can you do? The inspector represents the emperor. It was okay the first few times, but I don't know if we will be so lucky next time." Shui Ningye shook his head and sighed.

"When water comes, we block it with earth; when soldiers come, we fight them. In short, there will always be a way to get through the mountains. Your Highness doesn't need to think too much." Jin Yi said with his head down.

"Alas! This matter has truly exhausted me. As long as Yaoyao doesn't wake up, I won't be able to rest. It's been over half a year now. I'm afraid my father has begun to suspect something, otherwise he wouldn't have sent three inspectors to investigate the situation here in the past six months. After all, normal injuries would have healed long ago. What kind of injury would take more than half a year to recover? Even if Yaoyao wakes up successfully, I still have to think of a suitable excuse. Otherwise, you and I will suffer the same fate. At the very least, we will be charged with the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Shui Ningye said with a grim expression.

"Your Highness, these are all things that happened later. Our most urgent task now is to see when Yuangu will be able to recover. That girl has not let us go in to check. I almost doubt whether that guy has already run away!" Jin Yi said with a frown.

"That shouldn't be possible, right? Could he have really run away? There's no one in the room at all?"

Shui Ningye's face changed drastically and he suddenly looked up and asked.

He had never thought about this problem!

"Actually, I think it should be impossible, but... we can't rule out this possibility. After all, that person has never appeared during this period of time, so I say this." Jin Yi said.

"What you said actually makes sense. It seems we can't wait like this any longer. I have to go see him now!"

Shui Ningye didn't know why he was getting more and more panicked. Thinking of the possibility that Jin Yi had just mentioned, Shui Ningye became really panicked.

Shui Ningye is not afraid of losing his elixirs and property, what he is afraid of is that he will not be able to wake Shui Yaoyao up!

At this time, spiritual medicines, resources, treasures, etc. are no longer important to Shui Ningye. He just wants Shui Yaoyao to be safe and sound.

"Your Highness, are you going like this? Let Ming Xing and I accompany you!" Jin Yi said with a frown.

"Okay! Go call Ming Xing and we'll go together. No matter what, I have to see him today!"

Shui Ningye took a few deep breaths, spoke to Jin Yi, and then walked quickly towards the room where Gu Yuan was.

Gu Yuan slowly opened his eyes. The severe pain in his head was gradually subsiding. Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh, thinking that the pill given by the little witch was really effective. It seems that he should ask the little witch for a few more pills when he has the chance and keep them with him as a backup.

Shaking his head, Gu Yuan jumped off the bed. The slight shock still caused a sharp pain in his head, but at least it was within the range that Gu Yuan could bear.

Squeak--

When he opened the door, the sunlight shining in front of him made Gu Yuan squint his eyes. He hadn't seen such good sunshine for several days.

"Huh? What's he doing here? He's in such a hurry."

In a blur, Gu Yuan saw Shui Ningye's hurried figure rushing towards him.
