"I am indeed very angry, but do you know what I am angry about? I am angry that you did not even remember my face after you ate me up! If it was someone else at that time, would you have obeyed her, huh?"

When Shen Yizi thought of this, he was so angry that he became like a puffer fish.

Gu Xueting flatly denied, "No. If someone else was there, I might have killed him instead of--"

He himself was also confused, why her blood was so attractive to him when he was poisoned? Why could he not help but take her——

Of course, all of this remains unsolved so far.

"Okay, I'll believe you for now." Shen Yizi really believed him. When he walked over, his hands were covered in blood, which showed that he had committed many murders. However, when he came in front of her, he just threw her away, which was considered merciful.

"I'm hungry. Let's go eat. It's already so late."

Shen Yizhi glanced at the sky outside.

The two walked down the stairs hand in hand and came to the first floor.

While eating, Shen Yizhi suddenly remembered, "Oh no, we forgot about Xiaoman!"

The two looked at each other, and immediately stopped caring about eating, and hurried back to Hanguang Palace.

Inside the hall, Xiaoman lay limply in the basket, so hungry that she could hardly lift her eyelids.

Shen Yizi felt guilty and hurriedly fed it some diluted spiritual spring water, and took out a small bowl of stewed rice porridge.

Xiaoman ate with great relish. After finishing, he rubbed his food on her fingers and then lay down again.

"Your Highness, the Imperial Master is here to visit you, what do you think?" Lin Chen walked in and reported to Gu Xueting.

Why would the Imperial Master come here at this time? Moreover, he and the Imperial Master actually had no friendship at all, and they had only met three times in total.

But now that he's here, it's not easy to chase him away.

Gu Xueting touched Shen Yizhi's hair and said, "I'll be back soon. If you're sleepy, go to sleep first. You don't have to wait for me."

Shen Yizhi waved her hand and said, "Go, go." It seemed as if she would wait for him to sleep together.

Gu Xueting came to the front hall. The Imperial Master put down the teacup, stood up and said, "I hope Your Majesty will not be offended by disturbing you so late at night."

State Master Chu Yunkong was one of the better people who were exiled to the lower world. He boarded the royal ship, enjoyed the offerings of the ruler of a country, and was infected with the dragon's aura. Therefore, his practice went relatively smoothly.

However, no matter how smoothly things went, the entire Tianyuan Realm was weak and the spiritual energy was thin. It would take him one or two months to recover after just casting a small spell. It couldn't be more miserable.

He dreamed of returning to the upper realm, but he had no hope himself and could only rely on the son of destiny in this realm.

In every world, there are children of destiny. They are people favored by heaven.

How can life be difficult for someone who is favored by God? It is simply the will of fate.

A few months ago, he observed the celestial phenomena at night and found that the son of destiny had been born. He also sent people to investigate, but in the end no suitable person was found.

Tonight, he once again observed the celestial phenomena and discovered that the Son of Destiny had established a vague connection with Prince Chen's Palace.

Prince Chen is also a man of great luck, but unfortunately he has a calamity in his life, and it is a calamity of life and death. The chance of him being able to survive it is very small, so small that it can be ignored.

Even if such a person has great luck, what does it matter? He will eventually fall in the future.

So he didn't make any effort to make friends with him.

But things are different now. The Son of Luck actually has connections with Prince Chen’s Palace. Who knows, Prince Chen might be able to cross the cross-border calamity of life and death in the future.

So he came, hoping that it was not too late to make friends with Prince Chen. It would be best if he could use Prince Chen's help to get in touch with the Son of Fortune. Then maybe he could really escape from this hellhole in the future!

Gu Xueting walked to the top and sat down, "I wonder why the Imperial Master is here?"

The Imperial Master stroked the long silver-white beard on his chin, and a smile appeared on his handsome face: "I would like to meet the distinguished guest in the mansion. I wonder if Your Majesty can make an exception?"

Gu Xueting remained calm, "Master, you are joking. There are no distinguished guests in the mansion."

There was a cold light in his eyes, and he wondered where the news had been leaked.

Chu Yunkong knew that Gu Xueting was rejecting him, so he stopped pestering her and took out a small box from his sleeve and handed it over: "This is a little gadget I got by chance. Your Highness, can you help me pass it on to that distinguished guest?"

Gu Xueting didn't move or pay any attention to him.

Chu Yunkong did not feel embarrassed at all. He simply placed the small box on the table and left in an immortal manner.

Gu Xueting stared at the small box for a long while, then waved his hand to summon the shadow guard, "Go and find out who leaked the information."

He didn't want Zhizhi to come into those people's sight for the time being, so he strictly ordered people in the mansion not to leak any information about her.

Who knew that the national teacher would come to find me.

In the end, he took the box back to the bedroom and handed it to Shen Yizi.

"The Imperial Master asked you to give this to me? I don't know that Imperial Master." Shen Yizi was very surprised and took the box to look at it.

It is a small and exquisite one, carved from ivory and inlaid with tortoise shell and gems.

She opened it and found a spherical object inside. It looked like stone but not stone, like wood but not wood, and had the texture of gold, iron, jade and stone.

The ball was no bigger than a marble, dark purple in color, with irregular white spots distributed on the surface.

"What's this?"

Gu Xueting had seen it before, but didn't recognize what it was. He only gave it to her after confirming that it was harmless.

Shen Yizhi released Yichang and said, "Come, help me see what this thing is."

Yichang took a look and his snake pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip, an expression of extreme surprise.

"...the seeds of the Heavenly Secret Fruit."

He really had to admire her luck. Wasn't there a Tianji fruit in the bunch of natural treasures she had said she would collect not long ago? Soon someone brought it to her door.

Shen Yizhi told Gu Xueting what Yichang said, and once again had doubts, "Why did the Imperial Master give this to me? Tell me about this Imperial Master."

Gu Xueting told her all the information he had collected in the past about the National Master.

After listening to this, Shen Yizhi had some understanding of the Imperial Master.

National Master Chu Yunkong, a royal retainer, whose age is a mystery and rarely appears in public, is good at alchemy and divination.

Divination... Could it be that the Imperial Master knew that I was in Prince Chen's Mansion and that I needed the Heavenly Secret Fruit through divination? He was too powerful.

Yi Chang refuted her: "The former is possible, but the latter... Humph, don't say that the national teacher can't be that powerful. Even if he is that powerful, he must have paid a heavy price to calculate to this point. Vomiting blood and being depressed are the minor consequences. In serious cases, his life span may be shortened. How could he come here to give you something?"
