Ling Xiang went to the Huaiwang Mansion and handed over a visiting card: "Ling Xiang from the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, come to pay a visit to His Highness the Huaiwang."
The guard at the gate saw that it was the girl who had come last time and immediately greeted her respectfully: "Miss Ling, the prince is not in the mansion. Please come in and wait for a moment. I will report to the prince."
"No need, I'll wait outside." Just like last time, Ling Xiang did not go in and returned to the carriage.
Xuanyuan Qi wore a human skin mask and made arrangements for the trip to the Fuxian Secret Realm. There was not a trace of cynicism in his body. No matter who was familiar with Xuanyuan Qi, they would definitely not recognize him in front of him.
Chi Ren, the leader of the Dark Night Demons, reported: "Palace Master, the travel arrangements have been completed and we can set off tomorrow."
Xuanyuan Qi thought about it. The date Ling Xiang and Nangong Yu had agreed to cancel their engagement was approaching. "I'll have to wait a few more days. You guys go and investigate the situation first. If there's any emergency, you can handle it on your own."
Chi Ren took his leave. At this moment, Ugly Ox, who had been pretending to be the steward of Prince Huai's mansion, came over and said breathlessly, "Prince, Miss Ling, Miss Ling..."
"What's wrong?" Xuanyuan Qi thought something big had happened and immediately became nervous.
The housekeeper took a breath and said, "Miss Ling, I came to the palace to look for you..."
"Really?" Xuanyuan Qi originally thought that it would take a long time for Ling Xiang to face him again, but he didn't expect that Ling Xiang would take the initiative to find him within just a few days.
It seems that I am still very important in her heart!
Xuanyuan Qi immediately got on the carriage and rushed back to Prince Huai's Mansion.
This time, when he saw Ling Xiang's carriage, he didn't slow down. In a moment, he appeared in front of Ling Xiang's carriage. Before Ling Xiang got out, he pushed Mu Heng, who was driving, aside and took the initiative to lift the curtain of her carriage: "I heard that you were looking for me?"
Mu Heng was unhappy and tried to drive Xuanyuan Qi away with his hands on his hips.
Seeing this, Xiaoyu, who was standing by, immediately pulled Mu Heng away.
Ling Xiang closed the alchemy book and looked at Xuanyuan Qi, trying her best to appear calm. "Your Highness, Prince Huai, I have an important matter to discuss with you."
Xuanyuan Qi raised his eyebrows. Ling Xiang hadn't called herself a subject in front of him for a long time. Was she trying to draw a clear line between them?
His excited heart suddenly cooled down, and Xuanyuan Qi turned around to lead the way. "Please."
The Prince Huai's Mansion still looked majestic. The flowers in the yard had been replaced. Unlike the ordinary flowers seen last time, they were more gorgeous and brighter. Ling Xiang actually liked these flowers more now. They were pleasing to the eye.
"Is it beautiful?" Xuanyuan Qi asked, "I saw that the flowers in your yard were so colorful and gorgeous, so I specially found these flowers, thinking they would be more popular with girls."
Ling Xiang answered flawlessly: "Your Highness Prince Huai has a good eye, so the flowers he chose are naturally good."
Xuanyuan Qi didn't like Ling Xiang's official demeanor, so he dismissed everyone, opened the barrier, and said, "Miss Ling, what do you want from me?"
Ling Xiang took out the jade bottle and said, "Thank you for the Ksitigarbha Immortal Vine, Your Highness. Now that the Ksitigarbha Immortal Vine has borne fruit, Master personally refined the Innate Talent Pill. This one is what Your Highness deserves."
"Oh?" Xuanyuan Qi didn't expect that the Ksitigarbha Immortal Vine Fruit would mature so quickly, and Ling Xiang even successfully refined it into a Talent Pill. He asked, "How many did you successfully refine?"
"Three." Ling Xiang did not hide it.
Xuanyuan Qi forced himself to suppress his smile, "So, of the three Talent Pills, one for you, one for Chengxuan Lingzun, and the last one, you brought it specially for me?"
Ling Xiang didn't want Xuanyuan Qi to misunderstand, so she immediately explained, "Ling Xiang is not an ignorant person. The Ksitigarbha Immortal Vine was given by the prince, and the remaining talent pills are naturally sent to the prince."
"Miss Ling, why do you have to deceive yourself? As long as you don't say anything, Cheng Xuan Ling Zun will naturally not tell anyone about the Ksitigarbha Immortal Vine Fruit. In this way, no one will know that you have harvested the Ksitigarbha Immortal Vine Fruit. You can just keep the Talent Pill and there is no need to send it here specially." Xuanyuan Qi smiled and moved closer to Ling Xiang.
"Actually, Ling Xiang, you just care about me."
Ling Xiang looked at Xuanyuan Qi who was getting closer and closer. This time, she did not retreat and let him get closer:
"Your Highness, you actually speculate about my character like this. You think I would lie just to steal a talent pill? Not to mention just a talent pill, even if it's a life-saving elixir, I won't embezzle a single cent that should be given to others." Ling Xiang put down the jade bottle with righteousness, turned around and left.
The little girl is quite hot-tempered.
"Hey!" Xuanyuan Qi quickly stopped Ling Xiang and took out the gold and iron he had wanted to give her. "Okay, no more jokes, Ling Xiang. This is the gold and iron I promised to get for you."
"It's just right. Today we have settled our differences." Ling Xiang didn't like Xuanyuan Qi's excessive demands, so naturally she didn't look happy.
Xuanyuan Qi was very distressed by Ling Xiang's stubborn attitude, but he was helpless. He could only wait for Ling Xiang to come to his senses and changed the subject:
"Ling Xiang, how much do you know about your parents' affairs?"
Ling Xiang didn't answer but asked, "How much does the prince know?"
Xuanyuan Qi thought for a moment and said, "I don't know much. I only heard that the Marquis of Zhenguo was an extremely talented man. He achieved a breakthrough to the Spirit Emperor at the age of thirty, married a beautiful wife, and achieved a breakthrough to the Spirit Venerable not long after. He single-handedly raised the Ling family from commoners to a wealthy family in the capital.
"It's a pity that the Heaven is jealous of talented people. The Marquis of Zhenguo and his wife went to the Fuxian Secret Realm and never returned. There has been no news of them since."
Xuanyuan Qi wasn't the type to meddle in other people's affairs. Ling Xiang sensed a hidden meaning in his words: "Why did you suddenly bring this up?"
Xuanyuan Qi never talked about things that were not done in advance. In addition, Ling Xiang was so perceptive that even if he wanted to find out her attitude, he couldn't be impatient. He jokingly said:
"I'm just curious. You've been without parents since you were little. Do you often miss them and cry? I can't imagine you crying..."
"Boring!" Ling Xiang glared at him and turned away.
But Xuanyuan Qi did not take the initiative to open the ban. Ling Xiang turned and glanced at him: "Your Majesty, are you trying to force the guests to stay?"
Xuanyuan Qi shook the talent pill in his hand and said, "This kind of good thing can't be wasted. I think you have taken it before and are more experienced. Could you please stay and teach me how to take the talent pill?"
Ling Xiang suddenly became interested and didn't leave: "Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
"Master used the golden needles to help me stimulate the medicinal properties. The effect is very good. Your Highness, would you like to try it?"
Ling Xiang raised her eyebrows. She had memorized all the steps of the golden needle technique that her master used on her. Because it was used on herself, she could also feel the strength and depth of the needles. If Xuanyuan Qi asked her to try the needles, she would be more than willing!
Xuanyuan Qi obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the matter and nodded: "Then give it a try."
"First of all, let me make it clear that this is my first time using this golden needle technique, and I'm not very proficient yet. Your Highness, it's not too late for you to refuse."
"No need, I believe you!"
"Okay." Ling Xiang took out a set of gold needles, looked at Xuanyuan Qi, and smiled: "Your Highness, take off your shirt, and then, lie down."
