The young man in the green robe and the black owl followed the scent trail of insects and snakes to an abandoned temple on the outskirts of the city, where they discovered more than a dozen abandoned cages.
"It seems someone knew the princess was afraid of snakes and deliberately brought these to harm her," Black Owl said angrily.
Unexpectedly, the young man in the blue robe was even more agitated and furious: "Damn it, who the hell wants to harm me... Princess, are you tired of living! Once I find him, I'll chop him into eight pieces!"
After saying that, he was puzzled.
His Yao'er used to be unafraid of snakes, so why is she afraid of snakes now?
Does this mean that girls become more timid as they grow older?
"You... like Xiao Yao'er?" Black Owl asked after a long silence.
"I... like... of course I like her. Only a lunatic wouldn't like a girl as beautiful, cute, kind and considerate as the princess." The young man in the blue robe turned around, as if avoiding Black Owl's gaze.
How could I not like my own sister?
How about a doting brother?
"Don't have any improper thoughts about her. She belongs to the Ninth Prince. If you dare to touch anyone who belongs to the Ninth Prince, I dare to take your life," Black Owl coldly said before walking into the dilapidated temple.
"Does liking someone necessarily mean having ulterior motives? I quite like you, does that mean I have ulterior motives towards you?" The young man in the blue robe followed behind the black owl with a laugh, speaking without restraint.
"Shut up!"
Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, Black Owl suddenly turned around and roared fiercely.
"Oh ho, just kidding. Why are you so fierce? Do you think you're some pretty girl who can't take a joke?" The young man in the blue robe looked frightened, but still grinned.
At this moment, in the woods behind the ruined temple.
The man in the black hood and the man in the same black robe, with a slender and tall figure, are having a secret meeting.
"Has Your Majesty been able to determine whether the Ji family is the person you are looking for?" The thin man's voice was cold and hard, like striking a stone.
"Not yet. They showed no reaction to the Moonstone, seemingly not recognizing it," the black-robed man said calmly, showing no sign of urgency. "And you, how are you?"
"There has been no progress so far. We have been searching in this world for so many years. Your Excellency, are you sure..." Before the thin man could finish speaking, Ji Fengming's voice suddenly came from the dilapidated temple.
The man in black robes immediately raised his hand, signaling the thin man to be quiet. The two exchanged a glance and then quickly separated and left.
Apart from a few empty boxes, everything else in the dilapidated temple was normal, and the trail went cold.
Under the strong pull of the young man in the blue robe, Black Owl had no choice but to go back to the capital with him to have dinner at a restaurant.
Black Owl thought, "When I eat, I have to take off my hat and mask, right?"
Surprisingly, he did take off his straw hat;
But the mask...
This time, like Shang Xiye, he wore a half-length lipstick that exposed his mouth and chin.
At first glance, the mask looks somewhat similar to the one Shang Xiye wore, as if it were a copy.
"Brother Xiao, why are you looking at me like that? Eat your food!" Ji Fengming was not afraid of Hei Xiao's scrutiny at all. He was shameless and enthusiastically served Hei Xiao more food with a smile.
“Your eyes look a lot like someone I know,” Black Owl noticed at first glance; the young man in the blue robe had a pair of extremely beautiful phoenix eyes.
So vibrant and dazzling, so clear and sparkling, like obsidian that has just been washed with water.
“This world is full of wonders. People can look alike, and things can resemble each other. It’s normal,” Ji Fengming said without even frowning, as he poured wine for Hei Xiao: “Come on, Brother Xiao, let’s drink.”
Black Owl thought it made sense. He picked up his glass and was about to drink when he inexplicably said, "Why drink in broad daylight when there's nothing to do?"
