Nan Xu looked at Xiao Ruyu with a smile on his face, and patiently answered her questions when she encountered words she didn't recognize.

Xiao Ru'an informed the progress of the investigation in detail in the letter, saying that news had gradually been obtained.

Xiao Ruyu was in a very good mood and couldn't help smiling as she held the letter.

Outside the hall, Eleven ran into the two of them chatting and laughing as soon as he turned the corner, and subconsciously hid in the corner of the wall.

Hearing the sound of the two people chatting and laughing, Eleven slightly tightened his hands that were holding onto his clothes.

He seemed to have seen this person more than once.

But he did not hear Xiao Ruyu mention this person's identity, which made Eleven even more suspicious.

He suddenly remembered that the civet cat hadn't come to the hall to look for Xiao Ruyu for several days.

Could it be that...

Eleven's heart tightened a little, and an idea arose in his mind.

Could it be that this person is the transformed spirit cat? !

He turned his head and looked at Nan Xu, who was dressed in a white shirt, not very old, with delicate features...

Isn’t this exactly what the civet cat is about!

Eleven could no longer sit still. After watching Nan Xu leave, he quickly walked towards Xiao Ruyu.

Xiao Ruyu had just said goodbye to Nan Xu with a smile when she turned around and saw Eleven walking towards her hurriedly. Before she could ask him what was wrong, her wrist was grabbed tightly.

"Little Princess..." Eleven was a little breathless, and the anxiety in his eyes could not be concealed.

"Staying together with Ergou every day, chatting and laughing, won't the little princess like him more?"

"Now that Ergou has taken human form, does the little princess no longer need Eleven to stay by her side?"

He poured out a series of words that expressed his jealousy over the past few days, but when he finished, he saw Xiao Ruyu looking at him in confusion.

【ah?】

[Ergou? Where is Ergou? ]

She lowered her head and looked around, but did not see the civet cat, which made her even more confused.

Eleven was also stunned, and pointed in the direction where Nan Xu left, "Wasn't that Ergou's transformation just now..."

What? Transformed into a human?

Xiao Ruyu thought this was outrageous. He turned around to look in the direction and it took him a while to react.

Eleven is treating Nan Xu as a civet cat!

【Ha ha ha ha.】

She couldn't help laughing and pointed in that direction.

[You said Nan Xu was transformed by Er Gou? That's too incredible. ]

Xiao Ruyu was wondering why Eleven thought this way, and then he recalled what had happened in the past few days.

Could it be that...

She circled Eleven twice, deep in thought.

Eleven is actually jealous of the civet cat!

【Eleven, you are too imaginative. 】

Xiao Ruyu realized that she had neglected Eleven in the past few days, so she threw herself into his arms and explained seriously.

[That's not Ergou, it's the book boy beside the eldest brother, Nan Xu.]

"Is it... the eldest prince's people?"

Eleven realized that he had made a mistake and his face turned red. He looked down at Xiao Ruyu who was looking at him inquiringly, and he couldn't help but want to leave immediately out of embarrassment.

"Eleven has wronged the little princess, Eleven..."

"I still have some things to do, so I'll go back first."

He pushed Xiao Ruyu away with a blushing look, turned around and prepared to hide back in his room to practice, but because he walked too hurriedly, he almost tripped.

Hearing Xiao Ruyu's laughter coming from behind him, Eleven was thinking in his mind.

When will I be able to master the spell of teleportation...

Watching Eleven's figure gradually disappear, Xiao Ruyu stretched lazily, feeling sweet in her heart.

For some reason, she found Eleven's jealous look very cute.

Xiao Ruyu smiled and shook his head. When he was about to go back to the hall to rest, he heard an anxious voice behind him.

"Little princess, little princess!"

She turned her head and saw Concubine Le stumbling towards her, her steps were so hurried that the maid beside her could hardly support her.

Le Fei came over, grabbed her little hand, and said anxiously, "Er Gou is missing."

What?

Xiao Ruyu asked quickly, "What happened?"

Le Fei slowly recounted what had happened in the past few days, "A few days ago, Er Gou disappeared. I thought he had gone somewhere to play, but I haven't seen him for three days in a row."

"I think something has happened to it?"

Three days ago…

Xiao Ruyu recalled that she had seen the civet cat in front of Concubine Le's Palace that day.

After confirming the time with Le Fei again and again, it was determined that the civet cat disappeared from that day.

"Empress Le, please don't worry, I will go and look for her."

Thinking of the incident in which the civet cat had been bewitched by the leader, Xiao Ruyu's left eye twitched twice, and he felt that something was wrong.

She immediately summoned her servants and searched the entire palace for the civet cat.

As Eleven walked to the door of his residence, he heard a noisy noise coming from outside.

Several palace maids and eunuchs ran through the long street, looking extremely nervous.

He stopped a man and asked, "What's going on?"

The eunuch who was stopped wiped his sweat and answered truthfully, "Concubine Le's cat is lost, and the little princess is asking the servants to look for it in all the palaces."

"My lord, no more words, I will hold on tight."

Ergou is missing?

Eleven was thinking about this matter. Although he was too embarrassed to see Xiao Ruyu, he still decided to go and look for it.

Xiao Ruyu shouted anxiously, and his throat became a little hoarse.

"Er Gou! Er Gou!"

"Where are you!!!"

She was so tired that she half bent over, but bumped into someone from behind.

[Eleven? Why are you here too? ]

Xiao Ruyu was stunned when he saw Eleven, who was also gasping for breath.

[Are you here to look for Ergou too? ]

Eleven was a little embarrassed and refused to admit it, but his expression betrayed him.

[Okay, let’s go find it.]

Xiao Ruyu's face became serious, and bad thoughts lingered in her mind.

[I am afraid that the sorcerer has set his sights on Ergou again. ]

【Quick, go look over there! 】

After searching for nearly two hours, everyone was exhausted and out of breath.

Xiao Ruyu slumped in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden, gasping for breath.

[You said... where did Ergou go? ]

As she was thinking, she heard the faint sound of a cat's meow not far away.

"Meow...Awooo."

This is accompanied by the sound of the cat chewing its food.

Xiao Ruyu instantly regained his strength, pointed to a patch of grass under a pavilion not far away, and pulled Eleven over there.

When they lifted the grass, they saw the civet cat engrossed in eating a piece of leftover meat that it had gotten from somewhere. It looked like it hadn't eaten for a long time, and they didn't react until they discovered it.

"Ergou, why are you hiding here?"

Xiao Ruyu looked at its thinner body and wanted to pick it up out of pity.

The civet cat sensed her presence, but for some reason shrank back.

Looking at the guilt that inadvertently revealed in its pupils, Xiao Ruyu understood something.

"Are you hiding because you bit me a few days ago and you feel embarrassed to see me?"

The civet cat seemed to understand what she said and meowed softly. When Eleven fell into its pupils, it took two steps back in fear.

"Are you afraid that Eleven will come after you?"

Seeing its cautious appearance, Xiao Ruyu picked it up and held it in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
