Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

"Puff! Cough cough! Cough~"

Fu Kuang, who was drinking tea, spat it out and started coughing violently when he heard Ye Fan's words.

"Ye... Ye Fan, cough~ cough cough~ you... you misunderstood. My name is Fu Kuang. I heard from Lao Miao before that you might be the successor of Master Mei. This is the first time I heard someone get such a high evaluation from Lao Miao, so I'm very curious about you..."

"But forgive me for being frank, except for what you just said about being able to refine the Ye Gu Dan, I don't see anything special!"

Fu Kuang explained awkwardly while coughing.

"Ye Fan, Meng Ying, Miss Nian, this Fu Kuang is a veteran of Mingyuan College. He has been in Mingyuan College longer than I have. Because he is not good at speaking and is quite introverted, not many people know that he is very accomplished in making talismans and Naxuan rings!"

Miao Qingcheng took over the conversation.

"Eh~ Senior, are you good at making Naxuan rings?"

Before Ye Fan responded, Liu Mengying took over the conversation, her eyes full of excitement, "I'm currently practicing making a Naxuan Ring, and I've encountered a lot of doubts. Can you give me some guidance, senior?"

“Sure, sure~!”

Fu Kuang had already known from Miao Qingcheng and Wen Zheng that Liu Mengying was a very talented student in Mingyuan College, so he quickly agreed immediately.

Soon, Liu Mengying and Fu Kuang walked aside and began to discuss the making of the Naxuan Ring...while Ye Fan, Miao Qingcheng and Wen Zheng walked to the stone table in the courtyard outside the room and sat down.

"Old Miao, Elder Wen Zheng, do you know what this jade pendant is?"

As he spoke, a light flashed in Ye Fan's hand, and several pieces of broken jade appeared on the table.

"This... the broken blood essence jade?"

Wen Zheng blurted out, his expression was quite puzzled, "Ye Fan, how did you get this thing?"

"This broken jade belongs to someone from the Demonic Sound Sect whom I encountered in a dense forest a while ago. I wanted to kill him, but..."

Ye Fan quickly recounted the situation at that time.

"The people from the Demonic Sound Sect are still here..."

After listening to Ye Fan's explanation, Wen Zheng frowned tightly, "Ye Fan, the broken jade you took out is something called Jingxue Xuanyu. It is a kind of amulet given by important figures of a big family or sect to their direct descendants. It can withstand a fatal attack!"

"The Essence and Blood Mysterious Jade is made by a Venerable Xuan Cultivator using his own essence and blood, with the help of a secret method... The Essence and Blood Mysterious Jade can only work on the person who has a blood relationship with the essence and blood in the jade pendant..."

"Using one's own blood essence to make blood essence jade has a great side effect on the Venerable Xuan cultivators. Even if the Xuan cultivators with extremely high cultivation have lost their blood essence, it may take many years for their strength to recover. If they are not careful, their cultivation will stop at best, or even fall to a lower realm... Therefore, people who usually have blood essence jade are very close to the Venerable Xuan cultivator elders..."

Wen Zheng quickly explained to Ye Fan.

"I see... No wonder Ming Bo Wu didn't get hurt at all after receiving a fatal blow from me... Ming Shi then killed him..."

Hearing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but murmur.

"Ye Fan, are you saying that it was Ming Shi who killed the Second Prince Ming Bowu? Are you sure?"

There was obvious surprise in Miao Qingcheng's voice.

"Ok!"

Ye Fan nodded, "At that time, I was captured by the people from Group 7..."

"This Mingshi is hidden deep enough..."

Wen Zheng took a deep breath. Although he and Miao Qingcheng had guessed that the fake murderer on the wanted list was not the real murderer, the identity of the real murderer still surprised him.

..........

the other side,

Qinhuai City, an inconspicuous small town, Roca Town.

An old man with short white hair and a spirited look was standing in front of the counter of a wine shop. He was Xiao Yuanshan, one of the eight vice-presidents of Mingyuan College. However, Xiao Yuanshan was wearing a gray hat at the moment, so others could not see his face at all.

"Sir, if you don't want to buy wine, please don't block our business!"

The owner of the wine shop was also a white-haired old man with many dark spots on his face.

"Yes, sir, if you don't want to buy wine, we won't force you to do so. You can find a corner to rest, but please don't block the counter!"

The waiter who had just delivered the wine took over the conversation.

"I came to Roca Town to drink with you!"

As Xiao Yuanshan finished speaking, a breeze blew by, lifting the front of his hat. When the wine shop owner saw Xiao Yuanshan's face, his expression changed slightly, but it disappeared in a flash.

"Sir, please follow me!"

As he spoke, the owner of the wine shop turned and walked towards the private room on the second floor, and Xiao Yuanshan followed slowly.

Soon, Xiao Yuanshan and the wine shop owner came to a private room and sat at the table.

"Wine shop owner... Is this your current identity... 'Hundred Faces'!"

Xiao Yuanshan looked at the old man in front of him with many dark spots on his face and spoke.

“I have always been selling wine…”

The owner of the wine shop poured a glass of wine for Xiao Yuanshan in front of him, "Long time no see... How did you find me?"

"Didn't you say... 'If you miss me, come to Roca Town to have a drink with me!'"

After saying that, Xiao Yuanshan picked up the glass of wine in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

"I did say that... I didn't expect you to remember..."

Bai Miansheng saw Xiao Yuanshan drink the wine he poured without hesitation and smiled, "Aren't you afraid that I will poison you to death?"

"If I'm really poisoned to death by you, I'll admit it!"

Xiao Yuanshan smiled slightly.

"Hahaha~"

Bai Miansheng laughed heartily, "Come, let's drink... We won't leave until we are drunk..."

....

The night falls,

Ye Fan, Liu Mengying, A Xin, Miao Qingcheng, Wen Zheng, and Fu Kuang had dinner and then left.

"It seems that the one who offered a bounty of 'six kills' in the capital and hunted us down was indeed the Mingyuan royal family... Didn't Black Mist just say that to us casually before..."

After chatting with Miao Qingcheng and Wen Zheng for a long time today, many of Ye Fan's doubts were answered.

"Little bean sprout, what's wrong with you?"

Immediately, Ye Fan looked at Liu Mengying, because he found that after Liu Mengying and Fu Kuang discussed the Naxuan Ring for a long time, she had been frowning slightly, as if thinking about something, and occasionally gesturing with her fingers in the air.

"Brother, I may have discovered a secret in the Naxuan Ring... Let's go back to Qushui Liushang, I will verify it..."

..........

at the same time,

In a wine shop in Roka Town, two old men, Xiao Yuanshan and Bai Miansheng, were both drunk and fell to the ground holding jars of wine.

"Bai Miansheng, you...are you not going to tell me something?"

Xiao Yuanshan burped and spoke to Bai Miansheng.

"Since you came to me, I guess you already have the answer in your mind... I'm sorry!"

At the end of his speech, Bai Miansheng turned his back, not daring to meet Xiao Yuanshan's gaze.

"Hai Rou... was really murdered..."

Although he already had the answer in his heart, Xiao Yuanshan still felt sad when he heard Bai Miansheng's words, "Why... why... I, Xiao Yuanshan, almost gave up everything for the Mingyuan Empire... why do you treat me like this... why... why..."

Xiao Yuanshan struggled and screamed frantically, tears streaming down his face...

..........

Midnight,

After practicing Xuan Qi for a while, Ye Fan fell asleep, while A Xin and Liu Mengying were concentrating on making the Na Xuan Ring.
