Chapter 399 The Starting Point
Luo Qianmo's dark eyes were like ink spreading, a deep, dark expanse, like a dense, dark night.
Can she really let him go like that?
Just as Luo Qianmo was stunned, Fang Qingyou forcefully shook off his hand and rushed out the door.
Only when his hand was empty did he realize what was happening, and when he saw the slender figure in the distance, his eyes darkened even more.
Is she really so indifferent to him?
The sour, astringent feeling in my heart was a bitterness I had never experienced before.
My heart felt as if a huge hole had been dug out, leaving it empty.
His well-defined hands were clenched into fists. He had the power to control the world, but he could never control this little woman!
When Fang Qingyou rushed out the door, her eyes were red.
She had originally hoped to get information about the Ren family, but unexpectedly, it only made her relationship with Luo Qianmo even more strained.
Hmph, she had no intention of easing their tensions at all, not even a little bit!
Her true thought was to part amicably, but as she turned away, she felt a pang of reluctance.
My eyes felt sore, my nose felt sore, and my throat felt sore...
No, she wasn't reluctant to part with Luo Qianmo; she was eager to leave this domineering and arrogant prince.
I kept trying to comfort myself, but the sour feeling didn't lessen at all.
However, she did not hesitate to leave. No matter how she felt, she would never give up her freedom.
After staying in Lingnan City for another half month, an imperial edict arrived from the capital, summoning Luo Qianmo back to the capital.
In the past two weeks, the grain and medicine provided by the imperial court have been delivered, and with the help of doctors and soldiers sent, the plague has finally been brought under control.
With the earth recovering, Lingnan City also regained its vitality in just half a month.
During the past two weeks, Xiaoyaozi frequently visited Fang Qingyou, either teaching her medical skills or discussing the plague with her.
Often, Xiaoyaozi would stare intently at her, as if trying to discern something from her.
Fang Qingyou found Xiaoyaozi's behavior very strange. Seeing his expression, she couldn't help but wonder if she had stolen something from him.
The answer is, of course, no.
However, every time she tried to ask Xiaoyaozi if something was wrong, he would always look away, as if he hadn't meant to look at her like that.
After this happened several times, Fang Qingyou was still unsure what was wrong with Xiaoyaozi. She simply thought he had been acting strangely lately and didn't think much of it.
Fang Qingyou was unaware that Xiaoyaozi not only looked at her with this kind of gaze, but also at Luo Qianmo.
It's just that his gaze wasn't as direct towards her, and the frequency wasn't as high.
It's not Xiaoyaozi's fault. Luo Qianmo's men were watching him so closely. Even if he glanced at Luo Qianmo, they would stare at him intently, afraid that he might do something to harm their master.
However, after observing for so long, Xiaoyaozi became increasingly depressed.
Xiaoyaozi's frequent visits to Fang Qingyou and Luo Qianmo were indeed purposeful; he wanted to see whether the aura of the Holy Spring emanated from Fang Qingyou or Luo Qianmo.
He was depressed because after observing for so long, he had gained absolutely nothing.
For so long, he had not sensed the aura of the Holy Spring again. He even began to wonder if the aura of the Holy Spring had never appeared at all, and if the last time was just his imagination.
Every time Xiaoyaozi saw Fang Qingyou and Luo Qianmo, he wondered if he should try to bring them to his house. Perhaps if they could get close to the Holy Spring, he could confirm whether his previous feelings were just an illusion.
However, his foolish apprentice was easy to deal with, but Mo'er was too shrewd and couldn't be lured away at all.
The more Xiaoyaozi thought about it, the more depressed he became. He used to think he was invincible, but after meeting Mo'er, his abilities seemed to have plummeted.
At the same time, Xiaoyaozi recalled that fanged demon mask, and his eyes suddenly darkened.
These people seemed to be from the Shadow Palace, but for some reason, he felt that their aura was somewhat familiar.
Dangerous yet hostile.
During this time, Fang Qingyou saw Yi Lingyun again.
It turned out that after she left Hengnan Mountain, they left as well.
We met again in Lingnan City.
Fang Qingyou was very pleased with this and explained to him the reason why she had left in a hurry that day.
Yi Lingyun certainly didn't blame her. At the time, he was also very worried about Elder Xing and understood her feelings.
He was too worried to blame her.
Seeing that she was safe and sound, and that the situation in Lingnan City wasn't as bad as rumored, I finally felt relieved.
Yi Lingyun, along with a group of people from Tianhua Pavilion, helped Lingnan City overcome its difficulties and accelerated its recovery.
Once the imperial edict was issued, Emperor Mingde arranged for personnel to handle the follow-up matters of restoring Lingnan City and the other southern cities, and Luo Qianmo accepted the order and returned.
Before leaving, Fang Qingyou made a special trip and was surprised to see that the vitality of the land in other places had indeed been restored. She was both astonished and delighted.
On the day he left, Xiaoyaozi was the most excited.
It wasn't because he could finally leave Lingnan City behind, but because he sensed the aura of the Holy Spring once again today.
He finally understood why his observations over the past few days had been in vain.
The reason is that the aura of the sacred spring can only be detected when Fang Qingyou and Luo Qianmo appear at the same time.
If the two are separated, neither of them can be detected to have any trace of the sacred spring's aura.
Xiaoyaozi had tested this point many times, and each test confirmed it more and more firmly.
While excited, Xiaoyaozi was also quite confused.
He didn't understand why this phenomenon was occurring.
Logically speaking, Luo Qianmo has the bloodline of the royal family of Zi Chu Kingdom, so it is reasonable for him to have the aura of the Holy Spring's revival. But what about Fang Qingyou?
Fang Qingyou has no connection with the Zi Chu Kingdom, so why can she sense the aura of the Holy Spring when she is with Luo Qianmo?
The more Xiaoyaozi thought about it, the more confused he became.
He came to find Fang Qingyou purely because she was known to everyone for being Xiaoyaozi's disciple, and she had been rumored to be having an affair with Mo'er multiple times. How could he not come and see "his disciple"?
He just wanted to see what kind of person Fang Qingyou was and how she dared to impersonate his disciple.
Unexpectedly, I fell in love with this apprentice the first time I saw her.
How could he not be fond of such an adorable apprentice?
So he tried every means to bring her under his wing.
Initially, he didn't know that the opportunity for the Holy Spring's revival was related to Fang Qingyou. Now it seems that he made the right move back then!
That's absolutely brilliant!
