Black Owl, leading Shadowless and his Black Armored Guards, tricked Chen Xiaoyi, driving him deep into the dense forest. Just as they were about to leave leisurely, a very familiar and annoying voice came from behind: "Brother Xiao, hey, what a coincidence, you're here too?"
Black Owl's leisurely expression darkened, and he turned around to look at the newcomer with obvious displeasure.
"Can you stop looking at me like I'm your enemy?" The young man in the blue robe sighed and raised his hands in surrender. "Alright, alright, the Ninth Prince's woman is dead. She wasn't the one you're interested in. We won't have any conflicts anymore, okay?"
Black Owl's expression softened a bit, but his tone remained unchanged: "Hiding his head and showing his tail, he's obviously not a good person."
"Hey, you!" The young man in the blue robe was speechless. "Aren't you also wearing a black veil now, hiding your face and showing your tail? This is the first time I've seen someone like you, who only allows officials to set fires but forbids ordinary people to light lamps."
Black Owl didn't want to talk to him and turned to leave.
The young man in the blue robe was full of vigor. The more people ignored him, the more energetic he became. He stepped forward and put his arm around Black Owl's shoulder in a very familiar manner, acting all roguish and unserious: "Brother Xiao, where are you planning to go next? You're not going back to that shabby summer resort, are you? What's the point of being locked up in that dilapidated garden with high walls on all four sides every day? Come play with your brother."
Black Owl stopped and looked down at the arrogant claw on his shoulder: "Get lost!"
Damn it, those were the words he used to use to coax Xiao Yao'er. Has this blond brat lost his mind? How dare he speak to him like that?
Black Owl reached back to grab the boy in green and beat him up, but the boy in green seemed to have anticipated his thoughts and had already retreated, drifting away into the distance. A clear and melodious voice drifted back from afar: "Tomorrow at noon, Tongyou Tongfu Inn."
Did he agree to go?
Black Owl rolled his eyes in the direction the young man in blue had left, thinking to himself, "He's got a screw loose!"
However, Black Owl had nothing else to do in Tongyou. The next day, as he walked, he still wandered into Tongfu Inn before noon.
He wanted to see what that blond kid was up to.
He ordered a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts. After drinking only a couple of cups, the blond-haired young man from Donglongmen, instead of waiting for him, saw an unexpected acquaintance.
"Ji Fengming? Didn't he not come to Tongyou?" Black Owl tossed down a piece of silver and hurriedly chased after him.
Black Owl followed Ji Fengming at a distance, watching him enter a courtyard not far from the Summer Palace. There were more than a dozen people from Vulture Stronghold in the courtyard, all of whom he had seen at the Marquis of Anping's residence in the capital.
Given how much the Ji family father and son doted on Xiao Yao'er, it's not surprising that they were worried about following them. Hei Xiao didn't want to disturb them.
Just as he was about to leave, a hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder roughly from behind.
Black Owl dodged in time and was about to retaliate when both of them were stunned to see each other clearly.
"It's you, Brother Black Owl!" Ji Fengming reacted first, smiling brightly. He withdrew his hand and walked to Black Owl's side, acting very friendly and familiar: "I thought it was some scoundrel who had taken advantage of my looks and followed me all the way. Luckily, he didn't use any dirty tricks."
As he spoke, he pulled out a bunch of large and small bags from his pocket: "My sister gave me a lot of good stuff, and I must say, it's incredibly effective and works really fast!"
Black Owl: "..."
Ha, you probably don't know, but your sister gave me even more, something more effective and useful, something you definitely don't want to hear about.
