Shangguan Bing'er was startled by her. Seeing that she was still holding a pair of scissors in her other hand, she didn't dare to act rashly. "Miss Tang, what are you doing?"
Tang Chen lowered his head and gave Shangguan Bing'er a pair of huge white eyes staring: "What are you doing? I'm warning you, I'm just a country bumpkin, you'd better tell us everything you know. Otherwise, close the door and let the black crows go!"
Black Crow appeared in response, the cold blade in his hand still reflecting the light outside the room. Wang Yanzhou, who had rushed over anxiously upon learning Tang Chen's return, saw them facing Shangguan Bing'er, one holding scissors and the other holding a sharp blade. He slapped himself in the face and said, "Ah Chen, don't rush back here! Don't go too far."
Tang Chen pouted and turned his head away, not looking at him: "I don't want to talk to you, it's all your fault!"
Wang Yanzhou looked at the two men anxiously and asked, "So, what's going on?"
Black Crow explained, "Xihe is missing. I've searched everywhere around town but can't find her. This woman must know something."
Xihe's disappearance didn't surprise Wang Yanzhou and Wang Nianqing in the slightest. However, Tang Chen and the others didn't know about the connection between the two. Their intuition was truly incredible. "Sigh. Miss Shangguan, you've seen it too. Please tell us what you know so we can go look for her."
Tang Chen felt a little unhappy when he saw Wang Yanzhou's extremely concerned look towards Shangguan Bing'er, as if he was afraid that he would accidentally hurt her: "...Humph!"
Shangguan Bing'er said in embarrassment: "I really don't know."
Wang Nianqing also said: "The secret sentries in the valley didn't find any trace of Xihe. I guess she left the valley."
Even though things had come to this, Tang Chen didn't think about Wang Nianqing's words carefully. She only knew that her little fairy, the one who would fall into a pit if she walked without them around, was gone: "Fuck, she's going to get into trouble. I only want her back!"
After saying that, Tang Chen slammed the scissors in his hand onto the table and walked away. Black Crow put away his dagger and followed him.
"This..." Shangguan Bing'er said that the baby felt wronged, but the baby couldn't say anything and didn't know what to say.
Tang Chen returned to Meiwu and started packing his clothes, preparing to leave the palace to find Xihe. Just as he was about to look for a few pairs of shoes under the bed, he found that the position of the wooden box he had hidden was a little wrong: "...someone has touched my things."
Black Crow said, "Drag it out quickly and see if anything is missing."
"......" After Tang Chen took the box out from under the bed, he did not open it immediately to check if anything was missing. Instead, he threw the box away, opened the secret compartment under the floor, and took out a small box from the secret compartment.
After opening the heavily wrapped box, a round, smooth black pearl the size of a pigeon egg appeared before his eyes. Tang Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the pearl was still there. "Fortunately, it's still there. Just like Wang Yanzhou said, keeping this pearl would be a disaster!"
Originally, Wang Yanzhou said that he would keep this thing temporarily, but Tang Chen didn't know what was wrong with him. After thinking about it, he felt that it was a waste to keep it with him, so he begged for it back and secretly opened a secret compartment in the floor to hide it.
When Black Crow saw the black pearl, he was also very surprised: "Isn't this the Ouyang family's black pearl? How did it get into your hands?"
Tang Chen squatted down and put the things back where they belonged, saying, "Look, you didn't even know about this, and I don't know how it got to other people's ears."
Black Crow knew Shangguan Bing'er's purpose for coming to the palace. It was nothing more than people and things. The people in the palace were all carefully selected by Wang Yanzhou, so there would be no mistakes. Aside from the newcomer Shangguan Bing'er, the location of the pearl was probably only known to Xihe.
The more Black Crow thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss, so he suggested, "...Let's not talk about this for now. I'll go out of the valley and explore, and you can look for it in Qingliang Valley."
Tang Chen nodded and said, "Well, be careful on the road. I'm afraid there might be an ambush."
Black Crow smiled and said, "Don't worry, you won't run away if you can't beat me."
Tang Chen rolled his eyes at him, then fished out a small bottle from his bag on the table and handed it to him. This thing was a maze made by Xihe, said to be extremely effective at blinding people and blinding the eyes, a must-have for home, travel, or escape. "It would be best if you can find her, but if not, don't get yourself into trouble."
"I know. I'm leaving."
Since she had agreed with Black Crow that she would go to the valley, she didn't need to pack up the things and didn't need to leave for the time being. However, it was impossible for Shangguan Bing'er to stay.
So, Tang Chen moved his hands again and ran to cause trouble: "Miss Shangguan, the palace does not welcome you, go back to where you came from."
Shangguan Bing'er looked at Wang Yanzhou for help when she heard this: "Yanzhou, I..."
Wang Yanzhou shook his head helplessly: "This matter is not my business."
Shangguan Bing'er gritted her teeth, then knelt down, looked at Tang Chen with tears in her eyes and asked, "Miss Tang, did Bing'er do something to make you unhappy?"
Tang Chen didn't know what was wrong with these people. They would kneel down and threaten others at the slightest provocation. Since she wanted to kneel and was willing to give up her dignity for a man, she would just kneel like this. "No, you're very good, very good. Compared to you, I'm simply worthless. I don't want you to continue to attack me. Are you satisfied with this reason?"
"......" Shangguan Bing'er was stunned when she heard that, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond to her.
Wang Yanzhou saw that Tang Chen was furious. Shangguan Bing'er was indeed out of place in the palace. She had knelt this time, but if he kept her, who knew what she would do next time. Alas, it was really hard to deal with so many women: "Housekeeper, pack Miss Shangguan's luggage and send her back to Tianranju."
"yes."
Wang Yanzhou had already spoken, so how could Shangguan Bing'er shamelessly stay? Shangguan Bing'er stood up from the ground, bowed to Wang Yanzhou, and said with her head lowered, "...Bye, goodbye."
Shangguan Bing'er followed Butler Wang and left. Wang Nianqing also tactfully left, ending her short vacation early. After Wang Yanzhou put away his fan, he gently shook Tang Chen's shoulder and asked in a rather flattering tone, "Are you satisfied?"
Tang Chen's shoulders trembled, and he said with his eyes rolling up to the Pacific Ocean: "Not satisfied!"
Seeing that her anger had subsided, Wang Yanzhou reminded her, "You are so worried about Xihe, but have you ever doubted her identity and origin?"
Tang Chen turned around and asked seriously, "What do you mean by that?"
Wang Yanzhou smiled slightly and said, "I don't need to say more. You should have noticed something when you came back just now."
