Tu Shan Lingxi panicked and ran wildly on her four little hooves, crashing headlong into an unusually hard chest.
"Ah, hiss—you little fox, it's been so long since I've seen you, and you're still as mischievous as ever!"
Yin Changling's smiling voice came from above the little fox's head, and he grimaced frequently, showing that he was in pain from being bumped by the little fox.
He rubbed his chest and scolded with a laugh, but anyone could hear the intimacy in his tone, which made Wan Qijin's purple eyes darken slightly.
The Grand Preceptor's clothes fluttered without wind, a sign that his spiritual energy leaked out when he was angry.
However, the Grand Preceptor quickly withdrew his spiritual power. His expression remained normal, but his aura was still somewhat gloomy.
Before he could react, Wan Qijin heard the little fox howling, which made his heart clench, and he immediately took appropriate action.
"Awooo—"
pain--
The little fox covered its head with its paws, looking like it was in pain, which made Wan Qijin feel sorry for it and take the little fox in her arms.
"Sweetie, does it hurt?"
"Awooo—"
It hurts so much!
When Tu Shan Lingxi saw her patriarch, she was so aggrieved that tears streamed down her face. One by one, tears fell from her bright black eyes, making her look extremely pitiful.
Now things are really messed up. Not only Wan Qijin, but even Yin Changling is heartbroken and is busy comforting her.
"Oh, little fox, don't cry. It's my fault. Why don't you bite me?"
As Yin Changling spoke, he extended his hand and brought it to the little fox's mouth, trying to make up for the harm the little fox had suffered.
"Awoo!"
Get out of here!
Tu Shan Lingxi was already annoyed when this person insisted on coming closer again. Without hesitation, she slapped his big hand away with her little paw.
When had Yin Changling ever been treated like this? He was stunned at first, then immediately realized that he had been beaten up by a little fox.
This is truly unexpected...
He burst into laughter, a hearty laugh that swept away all his previous gloom, and he truly looked like a refined gentleman.
"Hahaha, what a spoiled little guy!"
However, after laughing, he suddenly remembered another idea, and his face immediately turned serious, looking fierce, as he spoke to the little fox.
"You little fox, you've got some nerve, daring to talk to me like that. Do you know who I am? Be careful, or I'll put you in a pot and boil you up and eat you."
"Awoo~"
The little fox had never seen such a despicable human before. She had long forgotten about her trip to the palace to freeload, and was so frightened by Yin Changling that she huddled in Wan Qijin's arms.
This person actually wanted to eat her fox meat! Ugh, how awful!
...
Wan Qijin knew that Yin Changling was teasing the little fox, but he still felt sorry for it; it was rare for the little fox to cry out so pitifully.
"Your Majesty, the little fox is very clever and can understand."
Wan Qijin carefully protected the little fox. He turned around and hid the little fox under his large robe.
He covered the little fox up completely, not letting Yin Changling see it at all; he was incredibly stingy.
"The Imperial Advisor is really protecting this little fox. But wasn't it said that the Imperial Advisor was going to get married? Why haven't we seen anyone come?"
Yin Changling sighed inwardly. He glanced at the bulge in Wan Qijin's clothes and found that the little fox was well hidden and could not be seen at all.
They could only change the subject, turning their gaze to their surroundings, wondering what kind of woman the Grand Preceptor had taken a fancy to. They were quite curious.
"You'll see her on your wedding day; she's an exceptional woman."
When Wan Qijin thought of the little fox in human form, her whole demeanor softened, making people feel as if the ice cube had transformed into a different person.
How enviable!
Yin Changling was infected by his atmosphere, but since he himself had not yet found a partner, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
However, since we're already at the Imperial Preceptor's residence, let's ask him.
"Your Excellency, I have a question for you. May I ask you to enlighten me?"
Yin Changling knew that the Imperial Preceptor's magic was very powerful, especially his tracking magic, which could track people even if they were thousands of miles away.
He had been searching for that woman for so long, but had not received any news of her, so he had no choice but to ask the Imperial Advisor.
Wan Qijin was patiently comforting the little fox when he suddenly heard Yin Changling bring up this topic. His heart sank, and he tentatively asked.
"I've heard that Your Majesty is searching for a woman. Could it be that Your Majesty wants me to find that woman? Do you remember her appearance, or do you have any of her clothes or jewelry?"
Wan Qijin wasn't lying, nor was she deliberately making things difficult for Yin Changling, because the tracking technique was meant to track the person's aura.
When tracking someone you're not very close to, you should prepare their personal belongings.
This put Yin Changling in a difficult position. How could he explain that this person was just someone who appeared in his dreams, and that he only dreamed about her occasionally?
This is so embarrassing to talk about!
Yin Changling looked troubled, his face showing a hint of reluctance. He felt something was off, but couldn't quite put his finger on it, so he shook his head in denial.
"Unfortunately, I don't have any."
"Then Your Majesty will have come all this way for nothing."
No sooner had Yin Changling finished speaking than Wan Qijin quickly delivered her conclusion, a rejection that showed absolutely no mercy...
That strange feeling is back again.
Yin Changling always felt that the Grand Preceptor wasn't without options, but rather that he was just giving him the runaround. This feeling came strangely, yet it made him very certain.
Yin Changling remained silent.
"..."
To verify that his idea was incorrect, Yin Changling had no choice but to speak up.
"Very well, it is fate. But Grand Preceptor, if I wish to find that woman, is there any other way?"
After he finished speaking, he stared intently at Wan Qijin, trying to discern something.
Yin Changling's body tensed up. He was afraid that Wan Qijin was telling the truth, but he was also afraid that he wasn't.
After all, his trust in the Imperial Advisor exceeded that of others; if the advisor betrayed him, he would face utter destruction.
Wan Qijin ignored his thoughts and did not answer the question, but instead brought up another matter.
"Your Majesty, I see that you look haggard. You must not have been sleeping well lately. I dare to guess that the woman you are looking for is from your dreams?"
When Yin Changling heard him bring this up, his heart sank little by little, and he had a vague sense of foreboding.
But he still tried to remain calm and asked the question with a normal expression.
"Yes, I wonder what the Imperial Preceptor's opinion is?"
"Your Majesty need not be alarmed. You have likely been plagued by nightmares lately. I can help you dispel them."
Wan Qijin smiled gently, but there was a hint of aloofness in his gentleness, making it difficult to discern his true intentions.
"..."
"I'll think about it some more."
