After Xuan Yuanzhan had walked away, Xuan Yuanyu looked at Long Jiaojiao and asked, "What did you steal from him?"
Long Jiaojiao would never tell Xuan Yuan Yu, she simply tossed him a bamboo tube: "Use this to send a message to this Holy Maiden if you need anything. Farewell, until we meet again!"
Long Jiaojiao left without even glancing at Xuan Yuan Yu.
She went to Chengqian Palace first to say goodbye to Xuanyuan Peng, but Xuanyuan Peng was attending court, so she didn't wait for him and left the palace directly.
No sooner had Xuanyuan Zhan arrived at the Holy King's Mansion than Long Jiaojiao followed closely behind.
Xuan Yuanzhan was not surprised to see Long Jiaojiao.
Long Jiaojiao may sleep with any man in the world, but she's not so cold-blooded as to disregard Wuwan, who has always been following her.
"Where's Karasuma!"
Long Jiaojiao immediately asked Xuan Yuanzhan for people.
Xuanyuan Zhan didn't stand on ceremony: "Where is what I want!"
Faced with Xuan Yuanzhan's ruthlessness, Long Jiaojiao took out the box.
Xuanyuan Zhan remained unmoved, so Long Jiaojiao could only open the box and take out the medical book: "It's just a medical book, it's useless to this Holy Maiden. You can return it to me if you want, but return Wuwan to this Holy Maiden."
Xuanyuan Zhan didn't know if the medical book was real or fake, but he figured that Long Jiaojiao wouldn't find a fake medical book to exchange for so quickly, so he gave the guard a wink.
The guard immediately understood and returned to the Holy King's Palace.
Before long, Ye Yun and Ye Feng brought out Wu Huan, who was still unconscious.
"Karasuma!"
Seeing Wu Wan's state, Long Jiaojiao angrily shouted, "What did you do to Wu Wan?"
“He just fainted, he’s not dead!” Xuan Yuanzhan explained casually, adding, “I’ll hand over the person and the book.”
Seeing Wuwan's condition, Long Jiaojiao became worried and stopped arguing with Xuanyuan Zhan. She put the medical book back into the box and then tossed it back to Xuanyuan Zhan.
Xuanyuan Zhan opened the box and looked through the medical book, but he couldn't tell if it was real or fake.
"Release them!" Long Jiaojiao shouted impatiently as he saw him take the box.
Xuanyuan Zhan gestured to Ye Yun, who immediately understood and pushed Wuwan to Long Jiaojiao.
Long Jiaojiao caught Wuwan, reached out and touched his neck to make sure he was still alive before she felt relieved.
Xuanyuan Zhan beckoned Ye Feng over and handed him the box: "Take this to the western valley and personally deliver the box to the Princess and her master so they can determine if it is genuine. If it is genuine, you don't need to bring it back."
"Yes." Ye Feng took the box and then leaped away and disappeared.
As Long Jiaojiao was about to leave with Wuwan, Xuanyuan Zhan waved his hand again, and the guards of the Holy King's Mansion instantly swarmed forward and surrounded Long Jiaojiao and Wuwan.
Long Jiaojiao was furious upon seeing this: "Xuanyuan Zhan, you broke your promise!"
Xuanyuan Zhan said expressionlessly, "It's not that I'm breaking my promise. Wuhuan is real, but I can't be sure that what you gave me is real. Once I'm sure, I will let you leave!"
Long Jiaojiao was furious: "How long do you want me to wait here? What if he doesn't come back in a day? Do you expect me to wait here for the whole day?"
"You have to trust the lightness skills of our Holy King's guards; he will be back soon."
Xuanyuan Zhan then looked at Ye Yun and said, "Go and get a chair for her to sit on while she waits."
"Yes." Ye Yun was reluctant, but he still obediently went into the mansion to fetch chairs.
Two were moved in total, one was given to Xuan Yuanzhan and the other to Long Jiaojiao.
To prevent Long Jiaojiao from escaping, Xuanyuan Zhan had no choice but to personally watch over him from outside.
Seeing his posture, Long Jiaojiao knew that he wouldn't let her leave easily until he was sure, so she could only sit down and wait.
Ye Feng carried the box and ran wildly towards the western suburban valley.
Ye Feng was fast; he arrived at the western suburban valley in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Knowing there was a formation in the valley, Ye Feng shouted from outside the valley using his inner strength: "Ye Feng, a guard of the Holy King's Mansion, requests an audience with the Princess."
Pei Luo and You Yi heard Ye Feng's shout in the bamboo forest and immediately said to Su Xuening, "There is a man outside who claims to be a guard of the Holy King's Mansion who wants to see you."
Su Xuening immediately realized something and quickly stood up, saying, "Does Xuan Yuanzhan have news about the medical classic? I'll go check."
"I'll go too." Pei Luo was also anxious about the whereabouts of the medical manual, so he helped Su Xuening out.
Youyi was worried, so he went out with them.
The three of them exited the stone formation and saw Ye Feng.
"Your Highness." Ye Feng hurriedly stepped forward to greet Su Xuening when he saw her come out, and then bowed to Pei Luo and You Yi, saying, "Seniors."
Su Xuening looked at Ye Feng with concern: "Did His Highness send you to see me for something?"
Ye Feng quickly took out the box: "This was sent back by the Prince so that the Princess and the two seniors can verify its authenticity."
Upon seeing the box, Pei Luo excitedly took it.
Upon opening the box, Pei Luo hurriedly opened the medical book and flipped through it, only to be instantly overjoyed: "It's real, it's this medical book."
That's great! The medical manual was retrieved so quickly, at least he didn't cause a major disaster!
Su Xuening quickly took the medical book and began to read it.
She specifically looked at the section on heart removal in the medical classic and found that the page was still there, so she silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Great, we finally got the medical manual back.
“Go back and tell the Prince that the medical manual is authentic,” Su Xuening replied to Ye Feng.
"Yes," Ye Feng replied, then turned to leave.
Seeing this, Su Xuening asked worriedly, "Was this medical book brought back from Long Jiaojiao? Where is the prince now?"
Ye Feng bowed and replied, "Yes, we captured the secret guard by the Southern Frontier Holy Maiden's side. The Prince used that guard to exchange for this medical manual. Fearing that the Southern Frontier Holy Maiden might be treacherous, the Prince sent me on this trip. The Prince is still in a standoff with the Southern Frontier Holy Maiden, waiting for me to send a message back."
"I see," Su Xuening nodded. "Then go quickly and tell the Prince that I am fine and that he doesn't need to worry about me."
"yes."
Ye Feng responded and then leaped away and disappeared.
"Let's go back." After Ye Feng had walked away, the three of them returned to the bamboo house.
"I didn't expect that woman to return this medical book to us so easily." You Yi kept looking through the box, afraid that the woman might have tampered with it.
After all, she was the Holy Maiden of the Southern Frontier. If there were any insects hidden in this box, they would be in trouble again.
Unfortunately, after examining it thoroughly inside and out, he found no poison or Gu poison at all!
Su Xuening couldn't understand how that woman could go to so much trouble to steal the medical manual and then return it so easily.
Although the medical manual was real and had indeed returned to their side, she felt uneasy for some reason.
"She did it on a whim, taking the box with her before she left. Perhaps she never intended to steal anything, taking the box only to save her life. Now that she's no longer threatened, she's naturally willing to return the box. Or perhaps she didn't know the value of this medical book, so she easily returned it to us."
Pei Luo then comforted Su Xuening, "Don't think about it anymore. Now that we've got the medical manual back, everything's fine."
"Mm." Su Xuening nodded silently.
Hopefully, she's just overthinking it!
