Yan Hui slept in the second day. She didn't even have time to think about what she was going to do today when a maid knocked on her room's door. The maid was bringing her to see Xian Ge.
Yan Hui just stepped over the threshold to go with the maid when the door of the room next door opened with a creak. Tian Yao just happened to be leaving his room.
The clothes provided by Wang Yu Luo were much better than the cloth clothing he wore in the mountain village. After retrieving his dragon bones, Tian Yao's constitution was getting better day by day. His body wasn't sturdy quite yet, but at least he didn't seem frail anymore.
With one look, it was obvious he was an elegant gentleman, tall with a jade-like complexion.
Yan Hui glanced at him. She immediately turned her head and sighed, even rubbing her chest: "How come this stupid drug hasn't worn off......"
Tian Yao heard her. His eyes rested briefly on Yan Hui's face, but otherwise, he had no reaction. He only asked: "Where are you going?"
Yan Hui still kept her head turned to not look at him: "Still worried I'm going to leave you behind?" She paused, "But you came just in time. Xian Ge'er called me over, probably to discuss something. Let's go together. Saves me from repeating it to you afterwards."
Tian Yao nodded. The two headed toward Xian Ge's wing.
They entered the room and went around the screen. Xian Ge saw Tian Yao walk in with Yan Hui. Xian Ge had no complaint. She only waved a piece of paper at Yan Hui: "Just yesterday I guessed that Zhenren Su Ying would have some troubles over the next few days. I didn't think it would be so fast. The troubles have found her."
Yan Hui turned to look at Tian Yao. His expression was placid with no waves of emotion. Yan Hui asked: "What troubles?"
"The scholar that Zhenren Su Ying loves, Lu Mu Cheng, tried to kill himself the same night you two went to Heavenly Fragrance. He cut his own throat."
Yan Hui was still digesting this news when Tian Yao suddenly asked a question from behind: "Then is the lust fragrance still being produced?"
"Naturally, it can't stop. Many noble officials have ordered it. Feng Ming needs to deliver it on time."
Since it was like that, then Tian Yao's horns were definitely still at Heavenly Fragrance.
Yan Hui guessed two reasons why Zhenren Su Ying would personally come to Heavenly Fragrance. One was to get the lust fragrance as soon as possible. The second one was probably to take a look at the dragon horns. After all, when Tian Yao retrieved his dragon bones, he said it was impossible for Su Ying to not know what had happened. Zhenren Su Ying was still on guard against Tian Yao.
But this time, Su Ying was worried about the scholar and left in a fluster. The protection around the dragon horns were bound to be at its weakest.
Furthermore, Tian Yao was able to pinpoint the exact location of his horns when Yan Hui and him entered Heavenly Fragrance. This time, if they can enter, they can make a beeline straight to the horns.
When the moment comes, Tian Yao can grab both horns at the same time. Then there would be no way to make the lust fragrance, so Feng Ming would naturally have no use for the captured fox demons. Maybe Tian Yao and Yan Hui wouldn't need to save the fox demons. Feng Ming might just let them go.
Yan Hui thought about this. She turned her head to look at Tian Yao. Four eyes met. A tacit understanding. She knew her thoughts were the same at Tian Yao's thoughts.
Thus, Yan Hui immediately opened her mouth: "I think the fox demon souls I gathered last time were thrashed by Zhenren Su Ying. I haven't seen them these past two days. I don't think I can use them this time around. Xian Ge, does your secret spy in Heavenly Fragrance have a way tonight to......."
Yan Hui didn't finish her words before Xian Ge laughed: "Say no further. Didn't I already arrange everything for you? Look." Xian Ge took out two tokens from her sleeve.
Tian Yao was just about to follow when Xian Ge suddenly opened her mouth. "Young man." Tian Yao turned his head. He saw Xian Ge take another sip and say, "Remember to protect her a little."
Protect Yan Hui?
This had never occurred to Tian Yao. Ever since meeting Yan Hui, Tian Yao from the start had only considered how to use her, how to scheme against her, how to make her do what he wanted her to do. Later on, he made her sympathize with him, then protect him, and go along with him to do other matters.
In this time period, Yan Hui had always stood as the protector, helping him break out of his desperate situation, saving him from calamity.
There was never a moment where it seemed like Yan Hui needed him to protect her.
Thus, when Tian Yao heard those words, he was surprised. He didn't respond. At this time, Yan Hui already started to call from down below: "Tian Yao, what are you stalling for? Keep up."
Tian Yao politely dipped his head: "Farewell."
