  At this time, an extraordinary sight had appeared on the streets of the royal capital.

  From the highest of nobles to the lowest of commoners, they all looked dumbly at the two beauties that were strolling down the street one behind the other.

  Qiao Mu didn’t notice the other people’s gazes at all. Even if she had, this wouldn’t have caused any ripples in her heart.

  Because her vision had been restored, Qiao Mu’s attention was drawn by a lot of “new” foods.

  After coming out of Morning Cloud Restaurant with her belly full, the rapid cultivation curse once again started chanting its slogan in her mind.

  Right now, she should find a very quiet place to continue cultivating!

  Qiao Mu raised her head and looked here and there; however, she knit her brows. She kind of disdained the thin mystic energy here.

  “Lil’ Blockhead, how about we go back to the manor.” Ding Yun very cautiously suggested this while following behind her.

  Naturally, Qiao Mu wouldn’t give him any response. Right now, she hadn’t restored any of her senses besides her vision. She could neither hear nor speak, so how was she to answer?

  Ding Yun declared with a smile, “If you don’t object, then I’ll treat it as you agreed! Hereafter, you’ll go where I go, and we will never part, okay?”


  Qiao Mu turned the back of her head to him in response.

  On the side, Baoyan glanced at Qiao Mu disgruntedly before subsequently advising, “Young Sir, I see that we had best leave the city as soon as possible! That shopkeeper earlier has probably gone to tip off other people. Any later and it will be difficult to exit the city gate!”


  Ding Yun grunted in assent.

  Immediately afterwards, a hoarse, booming voice yelled from the other end of the main street, “Encircle this entire main street. No one is allowed to leave.”


  “Lord Official, what happened? This humble old man merely set up a stall here to do business with little capital. This humble man has been honest and has never done anything bad.”


  “Right, right. Lord Official, we are all good citizens.” Seeing the government troops file in domineeringly, the peddlers all hurriedly greeted the leading official with an obsequious smile after jumping in fright.

  “The royal court is searching for the criminal that has kidnapped the crown prince consort. This is just routine business and has nothing to do with you all. Everyone make way and step back!”


  Everyone servilely retreated to the sides of the street.

  “Search carefully. Do not let anyone off,” the leading official ordered.

  Ding Yun cast a glance at the other end of the long street, and he saw a dark-skinned man leading several hundred government troops to interrogate and examine the pedestrians.

  Ding Yun knitted his brows and pulled over Qiao Mu’s small hand. “Lil’ Blockhead, let’s go.”


  Meanwhile, Baoyan gripped her fists, fully aware that things were looking bad.

  Because the three of them were moving swiftly, the dark-skinned man glanced over at their departing figures and quickly shouted, “Stop right there!”


  While pulling Qiao Mu along, Ding Yun ran faster and faster.

  The dark-skinned man quickly chased after them and bellowed, “Halt!”


  Yet Ding Yun merely turned back and glared, “Who are you telling to halt?”


  “You’re the one I’m telling to halt.” The dark-skinned man was none other than the royal guard’s deputy commander, He Tian.

  At the same time.

  Huifeng hopped inside from the study’s window while grasping the message in his hand. He reported enthusiastically, “Your Highness, our men have discovered the crown prince consort.”


  “Where!” Mo Lian abruptly stood up.

  There was also someone besides Mo Lian inside the small study.

  Duan Yue and Situ Yi, who were sitting across from each other, also reacted. “Where is Little Junior Sister?”


  “At the Morning Cloud Restaurant on Hualing Street.”


  Just as he finished speaking, His Highness the Crown Prince’s figure speedily grazed past him as he flew out……
