is classmates looked at each other in astonishment.Before either of them could speak, An Xue Tang continued, "Actually, I also feel like I haven't said enough, but this isn't the capital after all. I'...Such an atmosphere made the two of them lost in it, but Ning'er knew that now that she had returned to Bei Jiang Wang Fu, she could no longer be as close to Yunliu as before.
She had never forgotten her promise to Fengming, nor had she forgotten how angry Fengming had gotten when Yunliu had sent a matchmaker to propose to her not long ago, almost killing her in his rage.
So she definitely couldn't get any closer to Fengming now, or else this time, Fengming wouldn't let her off. I'm afraid even Yunliu would suffer the consequences.
Although she never understood why Fengming acted this way, he had always been kind to them in their daily interactions. However, on this particular matter, Fengming was extremely sensitive and couldn't forgive them.
It's as if, as soon as she and Fu'er, Shou'er, and Kang'er marry someone, they would hurt An Xuetang.
Yunliu looked at Ning'er this way, he originally wanted to say something, but in the end, he still didn't say it.
He reached out and steadied Ning'er, but as she was about to pull away from him, Yunliu said in a tone that left no room for refusal, "I will help you back to bed and then leave. Don't refuse. The valley master is not at home right now."
"!"
Ning'er suddenly looked up at him, shocked by what he had said. Could it be that he knew something
Yunliu pursed her lips and gave her a long, hard look. Her eyes clearly said: You don't have to say anything. I already know.
Ninger was helped back onto the bed in her daze. Yunliu kept his word and truly only brought her back to bed before taking a step back on his own.
Ninger came back to her senses and saw his behavior, feeling a little surprised in her heart. She didn't know what had happened these past few days at all.
"Ninger, you should rest well. I'll come see you again when I have time."
After he finished speaking, he was about to turn and leave with a swift stride. But then, as if remembering something, he suddenly glanced around and saw that there was indeed no one else present. In the next instant, he leaned in close to Ning'er and, before she could even react, he planted a quick kiss on her cheek.
Ninger was shocked, but before she could do anything, Yunliu had already withdrawn, disappearing into the room in a flash.
Ning'er didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment. She wanted to stop him, but it was too late. She wanted to scold him, but he ran away so fast that she couldn't even shout at him.
In the end, Yun Liu could only let things go regarding this incident of her being harassed.
For the past few days, An Xuetang has been solely focused on Ning'er's injuries, having no time or inclination for anything else. However, she was aware that Mo Yunjing had been summoned to the palace by the emperor more and more frequently these days.
And after he came back, he had to discuss matters with Yun Si and the others in the study, he was very busy.
Over these past few days, An Xuetang also found time to visit Jinchuan Temple and met with those Westerners. Of those suffering from "big neck disease," those who took the medicine prescribed by An Xuetang showed clear improvement, even to the point of being cured.
After An Xuetang arrived, she still felt the pulse of the sick person. After confirming that his body was fine, she said to the person who spoke in Central Plains dialect:
"This prescription can truly cure the big neck disease plaguing your Western Regions, so your mission this time is considered complete. As for the prescription, I have already given it to you. What are your plans next When do you plan to leave here and return to the Western Regions"
Upon hearing An Xue Tang's words, the man immediately knelt on one knee. Seeing this, the other people from the Western Regions immediately followed suit and knelt on one knee as well.
They bowed together, earnestly and sincerely saying to An Xuetang, "Fairy Spirit, please return to the Western Regions with us."
When the tiger appeared beside An Xue Tang, they were certain that she was the spirit maiden they were looking for, the Western Regions Spirit Maiden that they had been searching for all along.
The tiger, the king of beasts, can ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune. It is a sacred animal in their Western regions, and legend has it that only a spirit maiden can make these sacred animals obey.
Now, An Xue Tang fully meets the image of the spirit maiden they are looking for.
She can cure the strange illnesses of their Western Regions people, make spirit pets obey, and she looks almost exactly like the spiritual maiden in the portrait. In such a heavy situation, they could be sure that she is the spiritual maiden they have been looking for in the Western Regions all along.
Since she was a spirit maiden of the Western Regions, in their eyes, she naturally had to return to the Western Regions.
And An Xuetang was taken aback when he said this, seeing their serious expressions, she suddenly smiled and helplessly said:
"This concubine is going back with you This concubine's current status is the Princess Consort of Beijang in the Tianba Kingdom."
That man frowned, "But you are also a spirit maiden of our Western Regions, naturally you should return with us to the Western Regions."
"I am not from your Western Regions. Do not speak of this again. The Heavenly Domination Nation is currently unstable. You should leave as soon as possible. If people found out about the Abbot's connection with you from the Western Regions, it would jeopardize his ability to stay."
He pursed his lips and looked at the abbot who had been standing beside him, "Aren't you coming back to Xili with me"
The abbot let out a cold snort. "This poor monk has long since had no ties with Xīyù, how could he possibly return"
"Possible..."
"There's nothing more to be said about this. Clean yourselves up, and tonight you find a way to leave."
The abbot clearly didn't want to hear him speak, and since they continued to stay in Tianba Nation for a day, he couldn't sleep at all night and day.
Therefore, he hoped they would return to the Western Regions even more than the Princess of Beijiang.
The man glanced at the abbot, then at An Xue Tang, suddenly looking worried and moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but An Xue Tang said:
"This concubine also thinks that you should leave tonight. Staying here for another day is not safe. Not only are people eyeing you, but this concubine and the Abbot are in danger too because of our contact with you. If word gets out, we'll both be in trouble."
"Having said that, An Xue Tang stood up. She looked thoughtfully at the group of people and continued, “Previously, you rushed to save this princess and King Beijang, this kindness King Beijang remembers. So tonight at midnight, King Beijang will personally lead you out of the city. You just need to disguise yourselves well and don't let anyone discover your identities so as not to put King Beijang in danger.”
After that, An Xue Tang didn't have much to say. She nodded to the abbot and left.
The abbot cast a deep look at the group of Westerners, saying with an ambiguous meaning, "The Princess of the Northern Frontier is not a spirit maiden from the West. She cannot return to the West with you, so you should leave peacefully and avoid plotting anything that would lead you to a bottomless abyss where death awaits."
Hearing the abbot's words, the man raised his head in astonishment, his eyes clearly asking how the abbot knew.
After the abbot finished speaking, he wouldn't care what they were thinking. He had said everything he needed to say, and he had done all that he was supposed to do these days. Now that his clan's mission was complete, as long as they didn't go looking for death today, the King of Beijang would keep his word and let them leave the capital safely.
After the abbot left, these Westerners all stood up and began to converse in their native tongue. Only the one who understood Middle Kingdom speech remained silent.
Although his Mandarin wasn't particularly good, he could certainly understand the warning in the Abbot's words.ds, the steward clasped his hands and slowly spoke, "Miss, I think we shouldn't treat Miss An with such an attitude and behavior!""Yun Jialan's face instantly turned cold. "Butler, I didn't expect you...
