Situ Feiyu and Liu Fuqing were already waiting outside. As soon as they saw His Majesty come out, they rushed to greet him, "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? We can't stop the flood." An Honghan calmly straightened Xi Xizhi's clothes.
The outfit was way too big. When Xi Xizhi wore it, she looked like a child who had stolen an adult's clothes, which was rather comical.
"Who is this young lady...?"
Who is it?
Situ Feiyu raised a question, and I believe many people want to know the answer.
The soldiers' eyes were all fixed on this side.
His Majesty dotes on this young girl, even giving her his own clothes. Who would believe that the two have no relationship?
“She is a disciple of a Taoist priest, and also my woman,” An Honghan said calmly.
However, these words shocked everyone. No wonder she was able to use magic just now; she must have some skill.
As for the last sentence, everyone's eyes couldn't help but start to scrutinize Xi Xizhi's face. She was indeed a beauty, so it was not surprising that His Majesty had taken a liking to her.
It's too frivolous to get engaged after only meeting for a few days.
"May I ask this young lady's name?" Having met several times, Liu Fuqing had never properly spoken to Xi Xizhi. If he hadn't just seen Xi Xizhi rescue those soldiers, he probably wouldn't have given her a second glance.
name?
Xi Xizhi blinked, not daring to reveal her real name.
Just as he was about to make something up, An Honghan suddenly interrupted, "She's an orphan. She doesn't have a surname, only a given name, Xiangxi."
An Honghan picked up a strand of Xi Xizhi's hair and played with it in his hand, thinking to himself that since she would soon have her own surname, it was fine to discard her old surname for the time being.
Hearing An Honghan casually mention the name, Xi Xizhi gritted her teeth inwardly. Who wants to be acquainted with you! Bastard!
The meaning of this name is too straightforward.
"So you are Miss Xiangxi. May I ask who your master is?" Situ Feiyu's eyes gleamed with a sharp light; she had already set her sights on her master.
Now that things have come to this, Xi Xizhi no longer intends to hide it. "He is Doctor Xi, who treats people on these mountains, but right now... he has some things to do and can't get away for the time being."
Aside from the dragon incident, what else could possibly entangle Master?
Worried about what was happening over there, Xi Xizhi leaned close to An Honghan's ear and whispered, "I want to go and see."
In fact, An Honghan thought the same way. Even though the dragon ball inside him had not yet been properly matched, he would do his best to contribute whatever he could, however small.
He beckoned to Situ Feiyu and Liu Fuqing, calling them to a place some distance away from the crowd, and began to say something that no one else would know.
After explaining everything, he announced his decision.
"Xiangxi and I need to go check that bridge first. We estimate that the dragon is about to emerge. If the water level continues to rise, gather all the troops and continue up the mountain, understand?"
Situ Feiyu, still processing the shock of the dragon's birth, nodded and replied, "Your humble servant obeys."
"Could we ask this young lady's master to come out of seclusion and help subdue the dragon?" Based on Liu Fuqing's observation, the girl in front of him must have some real skills, so her master must be even more powerful and might be able to fight against the dragon.
Xi Xizhi said bluntly, "My master is already fighting with the dragon, so An Honghan and I wanted to get there as soon as possible."
"I'm leaving things here to the two of you." After giving these final instructions, An Honghan prepared to leave with Xi Xizhi.
Unexpectedly, things took a sudden turn at that moment...
A series of rustling sounds reached Xi Xizhi's ears.
Xi Xizhi's keen ears twitched twice, and her gaze quickly shifted, only to see a white blur flash by in the distance.
The white figure felt very familiar to Xi Xizhi…
After a long while, Xi Xizhi finally remembered what that white thing was.
arctic fox……
It's that white fox from the outskirts of the imperial city!
She grabbed An Honghan's sleeve and shook it twice. "Look over there, I saw a white fox dart past..."
An Honghan looked in that direction and, just as Xi Xizhi had said, the white fox darted through the woods and was about to disappear.
An Honghan lifted his foot to chase after it, but Xi Xizhi stopped him, saying, "Go help your master. I'll chase after the white fox."
An Honghan's face was terribly gloomy, indicating that he disagreed with Xi Xizhi's actions.
Xi Xizhi had anticipated this outcome and refused to back down, saying, "I can't help over there. Now our hopes rest entirely on you."
Standing on tiptoe, Xi Xizhi kissed his lips again, gently brushing them across his face, a smile playing on her lips. "I believe you won't let me down."
“But where there are white foxes, there might be half-demons as well…” An Honghan still disagreed.
If something happens to Xi Xizhi, wouldn't I be losing more than I gain?
However, Xi Xizhi didn't want to waste any more time, so she quickly moved and ran in that direction.
"You believe me..."
An Honghan was worried, so he summoned a group of men and ordered them to follow Xi Xizhi and ensure her safety.
Dongfang Youyu, always meticulous, saw His Majesty making arrangements and quickly walked over. "Your Majesty, have you discovered something?"
"We've found the whereabouts of Imperial Preceptor Xu. If we capture that white fox, we can find him." An Honghan told him this as he watched the girl disappear into the distance.
Dongfang Youyu's shoulders trembled with excitement, and he immediately volunteered, "Your Majesty, let me go with you. I believe you know how important Grand Preceptor Xu is to our Luyun Kingdom."
“If you wish to go, then follow me. I have other matters to attend to and cannot accompany you.” An Honghan turned and walked down the mountain.
Dongfang Youyu, accompanied by several of his guards, went to search for the white fox.
