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

"What the hell is this?"

After listening to Ning Zimo's explanation, Ye Fan was speechless. "I don't bother to care about a small character like Chen Weiye. If he comes to provoke me again, I will just kill him. I don't bother to pretend to commit suicide!"

"But big brother, the people who framed you seem to know your whereabouts very well... The seven doctors died when we went out... This time, Chen Weiye committed suicide when you went out alone after an assassin tried to kill you last night..."

Liu Mengying frowned and analyzed.

"Forget it, forget about him. I'm hungry, let's go eat first~"

Ye Fan didn't care about Chen Weiye's death and decided to go to the Shangshifang to eat first.

"Wait a minute, Ye Fan, assassination? Was the assassin who broke into Mingyuan College last night targeting you?"

Ning Zimo looked serious. She had heard about the assassin before and thought it was something else. She didn't expect that the assassin was actually targeting Ye Fan.

"Ok!"

Ye Fan nodded, "Oh right, that assassin should be the monster that was sucking blood everywhere in the capital a while ago... It's a real blood-sucking monster. The one you killed before should just be used to cover up your tracks..."

After saying that, without waiting for Ning Zimo's response, Ye Fan strode towards the food room. Liu Mengying greeted Ning Zimo and then quickly followed Ye Fan.

Shang Shi Fang,

"Big brother, here's a note. It looks like it's for you! I want to meet you at midnight the day after tomorrow!"

After Liu Mengying ordered the food, she came to the dining table and was about to eat when she suddenly found a note under a clay pot. She opened it and handed the note to Ye Fan.

"What a weird thing!"

Ye Fan glanced at it, crumpled the note into a ball, and threw it into a trash can in the distance.

At this moment, Ye Fan didn't want to pay attention to those miscellaneous things. He had already decided to find a way to figure out what the Dragon Vein Heavenly Book pointer was pointing to, and then take Liu Mengying away...

.........

In the following time, Ye Fan did not go to the school, but found a place to practice the mysterious movements recorded in the Tianyuan Fragments.

After all, he had been basically studying the mysterious patterns and talismans recently, and he hadn't practiced the mysterious movements for a while. Moreover, he had not yet thought of a good way to safely explore the cold palace pointed to by the pointer of the Dragon Vein Heavenly Book, so he simply concentrated on practicing.

..........

Half a month later,

at noon,

"It seems that it will take quite some time for me to break through the Qi Condensation Stage!"

Ye Fan, whose clothes were tattered, muttered to himself that after more than ten days of concentrated practice, his Xuanqi Stone had been consumed to a point where there was little left. He could feel that he had become much stronger, but there was still a long way to go before he could reach the next level.

"Gululu!~"

At this time, Ye Fan's stomach protested with hunger.

..........

Shang Shi Fang,

"Big foodie, the cookies you bought are here!"

When Ye Fan was enjoying a table full of food, a young man came over and handed him a small box.

Because of practicing the Tianyuan Fragments during this period, Ye Fan was extremely hungry every time he ate. He could eat the amount of food for seven or eight people and had become a famous "big foodie" in the Tianzhuan Academy's Shangshi Room.

"The cookies I bought?"

Ye Fan was a little puzzled. He looked at Liu Mengying who was drinking chicken soup beside him, "Little bean sprouts, did you buy them?"

Mingyuan College strictly restricts students from going out, so if someone wants to eat something outside, they often ask someone who happens to be out to bring it in. On the notice boards not used by the college, there are often notices like "Ask XXX to buy it for you"...

"no!"

Liu Mengying shook her head. "I have never bought any cookies, and when I ask someone to buy something for me, I always use my own name!"

"What the hell?"

Ye Fan casually opened the small gift box and found a few small round cookies inside.

"It's the famous sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the East Market... I asked someone to buy it for me before but I couldn't get it because there were too many people trying to buy it!"

Liu Mengying recognized the origin of the pastries at a glance.

Ye Fan frowned slightly, picked up a piece, and took a tentative bite, "It's really delicious, with a faint fragrance of osmanthus, sweet but not greasy!"

Seeing this, Liu Mengying also picked up a piece and started eating.

"what!"

When Liu Mengying was eating the second piece, she suddenly stopped. She frowned, broke open the bitten osmanthus cake in her hand, and found a rolled-up piece of paper inside.

"Big brother, I want to meet you again..."

Liu Mengying spread out the note, took a look at it, and handed it to Ye Fan.

"Who is this? Is he a pervert? He keeps asking me out late at night in this way... and he goes to very remote places..."

After seeing the content on the note, Ye Fan was speechless. He had received quite a few such notes recently.

"They don't seem like acquaintances... And if someone we know in Beijing wants to find us, they wouldn't use this method..."

"Brother, could it be someone who has a crush on you......"

Liu Mengying looked at Ye Fan seriously, "Big Brother, you are already a celebrity in the academy..."

"It's unlikely. The handwriting on this note is not handwritten. It was cut out from some book. It's very confusing... Never mind~"

Having said that, Ye Fan crumpled the paper into a ball as usual and threw it away.

…………

Midnight,

inside the palace,

Two beautiful women in palace dress were leaning on the railing and looking out. They were Yu Youwei and Su Qingying.

"Qingying, I tried my best to contact Ye Fan, but that guy had no intention of accepting the invitation. He just threw away the note every time... and he has been very focused on cultivation recently... Unlike before, he would go out of the academy to hang out and play whenever he had the chance... I have fewer opportunities to contact him..."

Yu Youwei sighed slightly, "Qingying, there are many people in Beijing who are secretly watching Ye Fan. I'm afraid that if I continue to contact Ye Fan, something might go wrong!"

"Youwei, go find Ning Zimo from Fengtian Prefecture..."

…………

the next day,

Ye Fan did not continue to practice the mysterious movements recorded in the Tianyuan Fragments, but came to the Yanyu Tower, because according to the requirements of Instructor Bai Cheng, he could not be absent from the practice in the Yanyu Tower today without special circumstances.

"Ye...Ye Fan?"

Ye Fan was strolling around the Misty Rain Tower with great interest when suddenly, a surprised voice came from behind him. It was the instructor Bai Cheng.

"It's me, Instructor Bai Cheng. What's wrong?"

Ye Fan looked at the other person in confusion, not quite understanding why the other person looked so shocked.

"You... the profound energy fluctuations of the Marquis level? You have advanced to the Marquis level?!"

Bai Cheng swallowed slightly. In just over half a month, Ye Fan's profound energy fluctuations had advanced from the general level to the marquis level!
