Merchants were busy on the official road leading into Qingliang Valley. Black Crow simply stood in the middle of the road, coldly gazing at Shu Yang, who had followed him all the way, and said, "Qingliang Valley is just ahead. If you don't want to die, return to your palace as soon as possible."
Shu Yang said that death was impossible. Anyone could enter Qingliang Valley. It was just that he couldn't find Wang Yanzhou's residence. "I have already reported this to my father, and he has allowed me to travel incognito. I don't believe Wang Yanzhou would dare to do anything to me."
Black Crow impatiently walked to the side of the road. He had originally wanted to act like a bully, but with so many people coming and going, it wasn't a good idea to remain in a stalemate. "Why are you all staring at Qingliang Valley? What's your purpose?"
Shu Yang stared at Hei Ya, as if afraid that he would disappear from his sight again in the next second: "...I just want you to come with me."
"Hehe, do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" After saying that, just as Shu Yang worried, the black crow left, just like a gust of mist that came and went without a trace.
She had pondered this carefully: she was a princess of Tangtang, possessing everything she needed, so why would she keep targeting a killer like him? Perhaps it was because he had once saved her life, or because he had cared for her meticulously even after realizing her deception, or perhaps it was because she had never seen anyone so bloody and reeking yet so upright in her life.
…Black Crow took advantage of the moment to sprinkle a handful of Ecstasy Powder on Shu Yang, then quickly slipped away from her sight. By the time he found the palace through the path Tang Chen had told him, it was already the next morning.
Tang Chen and Xihe were both relieved by Hei Ya's return. Xihe didn't blame him for leaving without saying goodbye, but excitedly dragged him to Pipa Lane to see the various "rouge and powder" she and Tang Chen had developed together over the past few days.
The bottles and jars on the table were all created by Tang Chen and his friends when they were bored, and they had spent a lot of time researching. Although the smells were a bit strange and the colors were a bit weird, they didn't dare to use them. But the Black Crow was different. Tang Chen always told Xihe that the Black Crow was just an ugly monster with thick skin and flesh. Xihe thought that if it was an ugly monster, even if the experiment failed, it wouldn't matter if it was a little uglier. So she thought of letting the Black Crow test its effect. Wang Yanzhou was originally reading in the study, but when he heard their chatter, he put down his book out of curiosity and came over to watch the fun.
Hei Ya had been placed on a chair by Xihe and the others. Just when he was about to sacrifice himself heroically for the sake of everyone, Xihe, who was holding a special perfume, stopped just before taking action.
Xihe bent down, sniffed Heiya's clothes from left to right, and then said, "I always feel like there's a familiar smell on you."
Seeing that she didn't make a move for the time being, Hei Ya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "You must be familiar with my smell."
Xihe stood up and replied while recalling the past: "No, that smell does not belong to you. It is a brand new smell to you."
Tang Chen was a little confused about what Xihe was saying. After she imitated Xihe's movements and inhaled the scent of Black Crow, she pinched her nose with a constipated look and said, "...Brother, cooperate with me. I think you should take a shower."
Black Crow sniffed the faint scent of sweat on his body and felt that it wasn't as serious as they said. "Really? I think it's okay. Maybe I've been running around a lot lately and sweating a lot. I haven't washed in three or four days."
Tang Chen said: "Uh, well, washing is healthier."
After Hei Ya took a shower and changed into dry clothes, Xihe used her nose as a "quality inspector" again. Seeing her expression which was even more serious than before, Tang Chen and Wang Yanzhou could not sit still and wanted to feel it again.
Tang Chen sniffed carefully. The sweat smell was gone, but he felt that there was a fragrance on Hei Ya's body that he had never smelled before. It didn't seem like the floral and vanilla scent left after a bath. "There really is a smell, a sweet one, a bit like the smell of powder."
Wang Yanzhou closed his eyes and carefully identified the fragrance, then frowned slightly: "This is the scent of Thousand Mile Osmanthus fragrans, used to track people."
Tang Chen said in shock: "What!"
Without waiting for the person to express their opinion, Xihe, who was standing aside recalling the smell, suddenly threw the small porcelain bottle in her hand to the ground. Suddenly, an indescribable fragrance filled the entire room. When Tang Chen and the others recovered from the stimulation of the fragrance, Xihe was hugging the foot of the bed in fear, muttering non-stop, "That person is back! He found out I ran away! He found out I ran away!"
Wang Yanzhou seemed to have thought of something and asked hurriedly, "Who is that person who won't let you go?"
Xihe didn't answer, but squatted on the ground with her head in her hands and cried in pain: "I don't know, I don't want to go back, I don't want to go back!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Hei Ya took advantage of Xihe's inattention and pressed her sleep acupoints. Tang Chen helped to put her on the bed, wiped the cold sweat off Xihe's body, and suggested with some concern: "Should we ask Chen Xin to come back and check on her?"
Wang Yanzhou shook his head slightly: "Chen Xin can only heal the disease, not the heart. Let her have a good sleep and calm down."
Afterwards, the three of them tiptoed out of Pipa Lane and moved to Meiwu, which was relatively close.
As soon as Wang Yanzhou left the house, he asked Hei Ya, "Qianlixiang is a secret recipe of the palace. Outsiders cannot easily obtain it or use it. Did your little tail find you and come to your house?"
Black Crow said with some concern: "Although I was very sure that I had gotten rid of her before entering the valley, what should I do if she really follows me in?"
Wang Yanzhou chuckled, signaling him not to be too nervous: "It doesn't matter whether you come or not. The key is, the person Xihe mentioned, the place where you were imprisoned, and the Su family. Somehow, they seem to be inextricably linked."
It would have been fine if Wang Yanzhou hadn't mentioned it, but when he did, Hei Ya was dissatisfied: "Speaking of which, I am also your boss. The money has been paid. If you have no choice, you have to double the compensation."
Wang Yanzhou waved his folding fan and said as if he had no money: "I am a Pixiu, you should ask Achen for it."
Tang Chen, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, subconsciously covered her purse and took a step back. She had saved all this money bit by bit, and also swindled some from Wang Yanzhou. Every penny was her hard work. "...What does it have to do with me? I'm a poor man! Besides, that's not the point right now, okay? Wake up!"
Wang Yanzhou and Hei Ya turned around to look at the frightened Tang Chen, then changed the subject: "Although Qingliang Valley has its own intelligence network, it's not completely omnipresent. What I can find out is often just the tip of the iceberg."
