Therefore, this method could not be used again."I need to go back for a while."
"What?"
Qing Zhu"s eyes grew wide.
Although it had met the master during the later times, it too knew about the factions…
"Does the master really want to go back?
"Those people… they don"t deserve to see Master again."
"Master, do you have a way to save Feng Tianyu?" Xiao Qing was skeptical.
Other than Feng Ruqing, he would not change for any other thing.
The only one who could change him was Feng Ruqing!
"Yeah…"
Just a simple word was enough to prove Nan Xian"s determination.
Xiao Qing wanted to say something, but suddenly, it saw Feng Ruqing das.h.i.+ng in from outside the Southern Bamboo Grove. It grew scared and its head went back inside.
"Nan Xian."
Feng Ruqing was joyful when she saw Nan Xian. Like the wind, she leaped into the man in front of her.
As the man was just about to turn around, a smell of herbal fragrance was already coming on to him. She knocked right into his embrace.
He held the young girl"s body tightly as his slender fingers brushed through her hair.
His voice was filled with uncontrolled adoration.
"Why are you here?"
Feng Ruqing pulled away from his embrace. "You left too early today, I haven"t got a chance to ask you for a favor."
"Okay."
Okay?
Feng Ruqing was dumbfounded. He did not even ask her what help she needed and had promised her right away?
"Could you check for me, where I can find Phoenix Tears?"
If she had used only Five Spirit Gra.s.s, her chance of success would only be sixty percent. But if she could get hold of Phoenix Tears, she had full confidence that her father would recover for sure!
"Phoenix Tears… to save the emperor?" Nan Xian asked with his eyes cast downward.
Feng Ruqing nodded.
"Yes."
"I will bring it to you in a fortnight."
A fortnight…
There was enough time!
"Then I shall go to the Tang family. When I get hold of the Five Spirit Gra.s.s, I will go look for you."
The state preceptor sounded so confident. Those Phoenix Tears would not be a problem.
But when Nan Xian heard about the Tang family, he strangely furrowed his brows. "Don"t get too close with the Tang family."
Feng Ruqing asked blankly, "Why?"
"I don"t like it."
"If you don"t like somebody… there must be a reason." Feng Ruqing smilingly approached Nan Xian. "I want to know why."
"Because…" Nan Xian paused. He recalled what someone had told him. His voice became colder. "I don"t allow it, the Tang family is out to harm you!
"But, it"s fine if you want to go." He took out his jade pendant and placed it into Feng Ruqing"s hand. "You must take my jade pendant, or else I won"t let you go to the Tang family."
Feng Ruqing did not see the surprise in Qing Zhu"s eyes. She held the jade pendant in her hands tightly. Her smile grew wider. "So, is this our token of love then, State Preceptor?"
"I can"t help it if you want to think about it that way."
"In any case, do not think about getting it back once you have given something to her."
The state preceptor"s jade pendant was exceptionally refined. The pendant was white with a hint of light spiritual qi.
Feng Ruqing removed the jade pendant that she originally wore by her waist and replaced it with the one she had in her hands.
After seeing Feng Ruqing wear his jade pendant, his cold face smiled faintly.
Compared to his usual calm expressions, his smile was so pretty, it was enough to make the whole world pale in comparison.
"Will the Tang family harm me?" Feng Ruqing raised her head and stared at Nan Xian.
