Chapter 198: The Shadow
Ye Fei left quickly.
Li Yuan watched the girl's slender figure gradually disappear into the distance until it vanished completely. He then walked to the grove of trees near the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and said, "Jiang Bai."
With a whoosh, a dark figure appeared behind the boy in an instant: "Your subordinate is here!"
"Follow the Emperor and Empress in secret, but do not reveal your whereabouts." Li Yuan glanced at Jiang Bai, his voice cold: "Unless there is no danger to her life, she does not need to show herself. She needs to be trained."
Jiang Bai answered without any hesitation: "Your subordinate obeys!"
Jiang Bai stood up and instantly disappeared from the spot.
Li Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the cloudless sky. After a long while, he turned and stepped into the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

Guiyuan City, in front of the Mercenary Guild.
Ye Fei stood at the front desk, gazing at the tasks hanging on the wall.
Regardless of the mission level, mercenary missions refresh daily, so the missions presented now are completely different from those seen a couple of days ago.
"Hesitating?" Yun Fusang walked to Ye Fei's side. "If you're unsure, I can help you make the decision."
Ye Fei smiled and said, "Fusang, you seem to know a lot about these missions."
“I often do mercenary missions to earn commissions, so I have a good grasp of the difficulty of the missions,” Yun Fusang replied.
Ye Fei raised an eyebrow, not expecting Yun Fusang to be such a solo-killing maniac...
Yun Fusang glanced at the mercenary missions, his gaze lingering for a moment before he finally pointed to one of the signs: "My suggestion is to do this intermediate mission."
Ye Fei followed her finger and looked at the intermediate mission, which was to go to Luanyun Gorge to kill the White Dragon Fox and obtain its beast core.
Chaotic Cloud Stream...
Ye Fei recalled that all three medicinal herbs needed to refine the hemostatic pill could be found in Luan Yun Jian.
However, she didn't know what this place was, so she asked, "What is Luanyunjian?"
Standing behind Ye Fei, Huang Rongyu explained, "Luan Yun Jian is located on the border of Lingyun Kingdom. It is a mountain surrounded by forests."
"As for the white dragon fox, it is a water-type spirit beast, and it mostly lives in the Chaotic Cloud Gorge."
After understanding the basic situation, Ye Fei nodded and agreed, "Low-level tasks are too easy, high-level tasks are too difficult, and intermediate tasks are just right."
Besides completing tasks and gathering herbs, this mission also aimed to help Yu Muhan overcome her inferiority complex and allow her teammates to get to know each other better through actual combat.
Ye Fei made the final decision, taking her mercenary token from her storage ring and placing it on the front desk: "Please register us; we need to do an intermediate-level mission."
When the receptionist saw Yun Fusang there, he quickly registered her and then handed the token back to her with both hands: "Here is your token, please keep it safe..."
Ye Fei gracefully hooked the red string on the token with her slender fingers: "Alright, let's go!"
Yun Fusang summoned his contracted beast, the Lingbing White Tiger. The snow-white tiger stood on the ground like a colossal creature, exuding a chilling aura. Being stared at by its azure green beast eyes could make anyone kneel down in submission.
"Little White, this is my partner."
Yun Fusang gently stroked Lingbing White Tiger's head, and Lingbing White Tiger growled softly, obediently bending down to let everyone go up.
At first, Yu Muhan was very scared of Lingbing White Tiger and hesitated to get on its back. Ye Fei grabbed her with one hand, and before Yu Muhan could react, Ye Fei pulled her up.
"Let's go to Luanyun Gorge." With Yun Fusang's command, Lingbing White Tiger raised its strong limbs and ran towards a less crowded area.
Little did they know, a dark figure was standing in the shadowy corner.
He watched Ye Fei and her group depart into the distance, took out a communication stone and whispered, "Target located. Ye Fei and Huang Rongyu are heading towards Luanyun Gorge."
