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

"I'm not sure either... I seemed to hear something, but it was strange and I couldn't quite understand it..."

Ye Fan looked around, seeing many people sweating profusely on their foreheads and even their backs soaked with sweat, and then he scratched his head and said.

After these words were spoken, the Linde Hall fell into silence again. Those people from the noble families who originally wanted to see Ye Fan laugh at him no longer had any thoughts at this time. Some were just afraid... afraid that Ye Fan would say something about them...

"It's getting late, if you have nothing to do, go back and rest early!"

After a long while, Ming Bowen broke the silence.

"Oh, good!~"

Hearing this, Ye Fan took the lead and walked out of the hall. This time, no one dared to say that Ye Fan didn't know etiquette or something. After all, if Ye Fan directly said what the seven-colored conch had just said about them, it would be terrible...

After the guests said goodbye to the princes and princesses, they all left in a hurry and avoided the route Ye Fan took. They were obviously afraid of being associated with Ye Fan...

The most depressed person among the hurried crowd was Master Qiao. He had originally given a seven-colored conch shell and received a lot of praise, which greatly enhanced his reputation in front of the civil and military officials. But now those people probably hated him to death...

…………

"Ye Fan, why are you so pale? And did that colorful conch really speak to you just now? That......"

After leaving the palace, Ning Zimo finally couldn't hold back her inner doubts and quickly asked, but before she could finish, Ye Fan fell to the ground with a "thump"...

...........

At noon the next day,

A secluded garden in Mingyuan College,

"Big brother, you're awake!"

Seeing Ye Fan open his eyes, Liu Mengying immediately asked with concern: "How do you feel? I was scared yesterday when Sister Ning came back carrying you who was unconscious!"

"I...I'm still okay! Hiss~"

Although Ye Fan said this, the severe pain coming from his internal organs and all over his body still made him gasp and frown.

Immediately, his eyes focused, and he gathered needles of mysterious energy in his hands, and quickly pierced his body with them.

After a long while, Ye Fan's frown gradually relaxed. He exhaled lightly, and with a flash of light on his hand, he took out a fire-trapping talisman cage from the Naxuan Ring, which contained the little remaining fire-attributed Dan Fire.

Under the gaze of Liu Mengying and Ning Zimo, Ye Fan reached his hand into the fire trap cage, closed his eyes, and absorbed the Dan Fire...

..........

As the sun sets,

Ye Fan opened his eyes again. His pale face had eased a lot, and the fire attribute elixir fire in the fire trap cage had been completely absorbed by him.

"Big brother, are you hungry? Eat a chicken drumstick first! Then we'll go eat!"

As she spoke, Liu Mengying handed Ye Fan a braised chicken leg.

"it is good!"

Ye Fan finished his meal in just a few bites without saying anything, and although Ning Zimo was full of doubts, he did not say anything.

...........

Soon, Ye Fan, Liu Mengying, and Ning Zimo left the academy, found a random restaurant, ordered a bunch of dishes, and started eating...

...........

On the other side, the palace,

"Qingying, what happened? Why are you contacting me during the day? This is very dangerous!"

Yu Youwei looked at a woman with a puzzled look not far in front of her. She was wearing plain white clothes, had delicate features, graceful curves, no makeup, and had slightly messy hair.

"Who is that kid named Ye Fan?"

Su Qingying's expression was indescribably serious, and she even emanated a faint murderous intent.

“I’m still not very clear about the details…”

Yu Youwei frowned, looking surprised, "Qingying, have you met Ye Fan? Why... are you so hostile to Ye Fan? Didn't you think highly of him before?"

"The Ye Fan you are talking about is this guy, right?"

Su Qingying waved her hand and showed a portrait in front of her to Yu Youwei.

"It's him... Was this portrait drawn by you?"

Yu Youwei frowned again, "Qingying, you told me not to worry, but you secretly ran out to see Ye Fan?"

"I have been staying in the palace the whole time... and I can't leave even if I want to... I drew this portrait based on my impression of the boy when I saw him yesterday!"

Su Qingying narrowed her eyes slightly, and the murderous intent in her body became stronger.

"Ye Fan came to the palace?"

After listening to Su Qingying's explanation, Yu Youwei couldn't help but look surprised, "Why did he come to the palace? And he came to your cold palace... in the outer area?"

"It's where I take a bath!"

Su Qingying took over the conversation.

"Wha...what?"

Hearing this, Yu Youwei was even more surprised, "Qingying...you...are you sure about the place where you took a bath? Isn't there an extremely special defense array there? Or was it set up by you yourself!"

"Don't even mention the place where I take a bath. There are many sensor arrays arranged outside the cold palace where I am...but when Ye Fan came yesterday, none of the sensor arrays were triggered...I checked, and there is no problem with the array..."

"But the magic circle was perfectly avoided... a route that only I know of that does not trigger the magic circle..."

"And I checked. Ye Fan came to the palace yesterday to attend the celebration banquet for solving the blood-sucking monster case... But I don't know how he ended up at my place..."

Su Qingying spoke quickly, then sighed slightly, "Youwei, let's talk about this later. I was so anxious to find you for another reason!"

"No... not because of Ye Fan?"

Yu Youwei, who was in a state of shock, was stunned when she heard Su Qingying's words.

"It's because of him, but not because of the above reasons, but because of the profound skills he displayed when he fought with me yesterday!"

Su Qingying's eyes flashed, "I originally thought that no one in this world could use 'Mirror Flower Water Moon' except me... But yesterday when I was about to give Ye Fan a fatal blow, he actually used the legendary mystical skill 'Mirror Flower Water Moon'..."

"And the timing of Ye Fan's arrival yesterday was also very wrong..."

"Since a while ago, the Heavenly Book pattern on my back has become restless. Yesterday, it was even more agitated... I had no choice but to enter Zhenxuan Pond to regulate my breathing... Not long after, Ye Fan suddenly fell into Zhenxuan Pond..."

At this point, Su Qingying paused, "Maybe it was my illusion... Now that I think about it, when Ye Fan suddenly fell into Zhenxuan Pond, the restless Heavenly Book patterns on my back actually calmed down... Of course, it is also possible that my attention was attracted by the sudden appearance of Ye Fan..."

"This... Qingying, Ye Fan knows your profound skill... so that no one can do anything to your 'Mirror Flower and Water Moon'..."

"It is possible that Ye Fan has some connection with the Heavenly Book patterns on your back?!"

At this moment, Yu Youwei finally understood why Su Qingying would risk contacting her during the day.

"Ok!"

Su Qingying nodded seriously and touched the back of her left shoulder. "Especially the Heavenly Book pattern. This thing is related to a secret that even the Mingyuan royal family is extremely afraid of. This is why I asked you about Ye Fan's background in the beginning!"

"This... I will continue to investigate when I get back... But judging from the results of the previous investigation, I'm afraid there won't be much to gain..."

Yu Youwei frowned and spoke.
