Wang Ci knew that going to Nanxiang Kingdom was probably the only way. Of course, she was not comfortable letting Xia Chao take Fengguang away alone, so she asked to go with him. Xia Chao understood that she could not trust him, so he did not refuse Wang Ci's request to go with him.
Despite Wang Ci's usual carefree and nonchalant demeanor, she becomes incredibly tense when it comes to anything related to fame and fortune, especially when Xia Chao is involved.
After a quick tidying up, Xia Chao and Wang Ci took Feng Guang and boarded the prepared carriage. They left the capital of Mingzi Kingdom that same day. Around midnight, Feng Guang was awakened by pain once. Xia Chao had no choice but to press her sleeping acupoints again to make her fall asleep again.
Wang Ci held Feng Guang tightly the whole way. Even if Xia Chao took half a step closer, she would stare at him as if he were facing a formidable enemy. Xia Chao smiled bitterly to himself. Everyone said that he doted on his daughter the most, but only Wang Ci always thought that he would harm Feng Guang.
He was at a loss as to how to address his wife's deeply ingrained ideas, and therefore didn't know how to ease the tension in their relationship.
They rode swiftly, and seven days later they finally left Mingzi Kingdom and arrived at the border of Nanxiang Kingdom.
At this point, Feng Guang's body was already very weak, and he was only kept alive by the spiritual power instilled by his parents.
The relationship between Mingzi Kingdom and Nanxiang Kingdom is not good. At least on the surface, the two countries are at peace, but in reality, there are undercurrents.
They had to conceal their identities and disguise themselves as an ordinary wealthy merchant couple to attend the Grand Ceremony of Ten Thousand Physicians. The ceremony was held at the largest auction house in the capital of the Southern Xiang Kingdom. Since it was an auction house, it was clear that everything that appeared here today, whether rare medicinal herbs or world-renowned doctors, had a price. The only question was whether you could afford to bid for it.
The first floor of the auction house was where ordinary people gathered, while the second floor was reserved for people of truly noble status. The second floor had many partitioned rooms, with only a bamboo curtain separating the doors. People outside could not see inside, but people inside could see clearly outside.
Xia Chao and Wang Ci were in room number thirteen with Feng Guang, but Feng Guang was lying in Wang Ci's arms, barely alive.
However, the auction had gone on for countless rounds, and they still hadn't gotten what they wanted.
Just then, a boy carrying a fox appeared. He had red lips and white teeth, and his white clothes fluttered in the wind. His disdainful look as he swept over everyone present added to his youthful arrogance.
Someone looked at the boy standing in the center of the field and said sarcastically, "Little kid, this isn't a place just anyone can come to. You have neither rare treasures nor profound medical skills. Coming here will only make you a laughing stock."
"A joke?" A man stepped out from room number five on the second floor. He stood by the railing, opened his fan, and laughed freely. "Who among you dares to laugh at the people I, Young Master Wuhen, brought?"
Upon hearing the name of Young Master Wuhen, everyone immediately fell silent.
In the martial arts world, who doesn't know the name of the Unmarked Young Master? His folding fan may look ordinary, but it can often take a life in an instant. You can't even see how he makes his move before you're already dead.
Xia Chao pondered, "Why is the Fourth Prince here?"
He recognized him at a glance; this person was none other than the fourth prince, Xuan Yuanfei, who was engaged to Feng Guang.
Wang Ci sneered, "You should ask why Xuan Yuanfei is with Xia Wuyuan."
Although the boy below was dressed in men's clothing, she recognized him at a glance as Xia Wuyuan, the one holding the white fox.
