Chapter 165 Sir, a group of people from the Phoenix Empire insist that you open the door

In the quiet and peaceful courtyard, Ye Li was sipping tea.

The brown-red door was closed tightly and Ye Li had locked it.

The emerald green bamboos growing straight around it add a bit of vitality to this silent courtyard.

"Yiyi, Feng Ling should have arrived now."

The little white cat lying on the table yawned upon hearing this, raised its paws and patted its mouth, [Yes, Feng Ling is frantically looking for you outside, host, why do you have to hide, hiding is so boring~]

Ye Li curled the corner of her mouth in silence: I think you just want to watch the fun and don't mind making trouble.

"How long will Feng Ling search here?" If it was a few days, that would be fine, but if it was a month, wouldn't she have to stay in this small courtyard for a month?

[Emm, Yi Yi doesn’t know either~] The little white cat stood up and held a piece of cake in both hands and ate it in big mouthfuls. It was so sweet.

...Feng Ling's side...

"Priest? Are you sure Sister Li is here?" Feng Ling pointed at Teng Xi's mansion with a puzzled tone, his eyes constantly looking at the two stone Teng snakes at the door.

The purple-robed old man beside him stroked his long, white beard and nodded, "Yes, aren't you familiar with my divination skills? The little female must be here."

Feng Ling raised her hand to cover her lips, cleared her throat and said, "I told you to call me Empress."

Now that he has inherited the throne of the Phoenix Emperor, shouldn't Ye Li be called the Empress?

"Yes, yes, the Queen is inside." The priest said, and then secretly rolled his eyes. How could there be such a Phoenix Queen who would be a hands-off boss for 28 days in a month?

If it weren't for the support and management of the previous Phoenix Emperor, this family would have fallen apart sooner or later.

"Okay, if you're sure, I'll knock on the door and go in."

After saying that, Feng Ling stepped forward, stood in front of the door and started knocking.

Soon, a servant in dark blue uniform opened the door.

His tone was calm and his movements were respectful. "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for the person in charge of your mansion." Feng Ling cleared his throat and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Are you looking for our master?" The servant looked up at the sun in the sky, then replied apologetically, "You came at an inopportune time. Our master is busy now. Please come back in two hours."

After saying this, the servant wanted to close the door again.

"Hey, wait, do you know who our master is? He actually turned our master away, but he is from our Phoenix Empire..."

The unusually tall and slender male phoenix standing next to Feng Ling started to scold, but before he could finish, he was restrained by Feng Ling.

"Okay, then we'll come back in two hours. I hope you can come out to see me then, otherwise..."

Feng Ling's smile was a little threatening, and he politely nodded to the servant who opened the door. Then he raised his hand and beckoned the male phoenix behind him to leave.

"We'll come back in two hours."

Watching the group of red figures walking further and further away, the servant who opened the door carefully closed it and muttered quietly, "A bunch of weirdos."

And now Teng Xi was walking slowly towards the villa where Ye Li was.

He had just finished drinking the medicine Ye Li prepared for him, and there was still a bitter taste in his mouth.

He fumbled in his pocket, pulled out a candied fruit and put it in his mouth.

This was originally brought by him for Ye Li, but now he ate one himself.

…

"Here you are. Very punctual." Ye Li opened the red door and let Teng Xi in.

"No weirdos have entered the mansion today, right?" Ye Li took out her tools from the space gem and placed them flat on the table.

"Well, no, Li, you seem to be particularly afraid of others coming to my house...why?" Teng Xi raised his eyebrows, stretched out his wrist and consciously placed it on Ye Li's pulse pillow.

"I..." Ye Li's mind was spinning wildly, "To tell you the truth, there is actually a group of people chasing me. As for why they are chasing me, I don't know either."

Ye Li's meaning was very clear. She didn't want Teng Xi to continue asking questions, because if he did, she would be exposed.

"Well, I will protect you." Teng Xi said, and then he paused, thinking of the things he had to do in the past few days. "I have something urgent to do tomorrow, so I may have to leave for a few days. You..."

"Where are you going?" Ye Li's eyes lit up. If they were going far, she could go with them and it would be a way to escape from Feng Ling and the others.

"We need to go north and visit the largest Xi Auction House there." Teng Xi's eyebrows frowned from time to time as Ye Li was giving him acupuncture.

"Jinxi Auction House?" Ye Li guessed in a puzzled tone.

Oh ~ your other nest ~

"Hiss...right." Teng Xi took a breath of cold air. He felt that Ye Li's needle was particularly heavy.

"Are you willing to go with me? I will arrange more people around you and hide your identity. You won't be in danger."

"After all, I have to have acupuncture every day, right?" Teng Xi made an excuse for himself.

"Yes, I have heard that the most valuable treasure of the museum is a huge night-shining pearl, and I really want to see it."

When Ye Li heard Teng Xi invite her, her aqua blue eyes immediately sparkled.

The night-shining pearls in Tengxi Auction House are not ordinary night-shining pearls. They contain strong elemental power that can be absorbed by exotic beasts.

However, the amount that each exotic beast can absorb is limited, and once that limit is reached, it can no longer absorb.

But most importantly, she wanted to see if Tengxi was still secretly trafficking females.

"Okay, but I can't stay with you forever. I have important things to do there."

As he spoke, Teng Xi took out a token from his arms and said, "Take this token and wait for me in the VIP room. Or if you want to participate in the auction, this token can give you a 30% discount."

Ye Li looked at the extra wooden plaque in her hand. It was pitch black and exuded a faint fragrance. There were also intricate patterns carved on it. She couldn't help but pick it up and put it to her nose to sniff it.

There was a light woody scent, mixed with Teng Xi's unique scent.

Ye Li nodded with a smile, and without any intention of being polite, she took the token away directly.

Time passed, and after Ye Li pulled out all the needles from Teng Xi's body, she felt empty inside and prepared to open the door and leave.

"Goodbye, Li."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a servant in dark blue clothes standing at the door.

Seeing Teng Xi coming out, the servant immediately came forward and said, "Sir, more than an hour ago, a group of people, who seemed to be from the Phoenix Empire, insisted on coming in to see you."

"I told them you had something to do and asked them to come back to see you in two hours. Now they are guarding outside the door and said they will not leave unless you leave."

The servant was filled with righteous indignation, his cheeks flushed as he followed Teng Xi to tell tales.

Thinking back to what Ye Li had told him before, that someone was trying to kill Ye Li, Teng Xi's eyes became even darker.
