Chapter 110
When he returned to his palace, Uncle Rong was not surprised that he came back early. He only asked whether everything was going well at the banquet.
Xi Ning nodded. He turned to look at Chuntao and hesitated. âRelease all the spirits that I brought back to the palace.â
It had been quite a while now and Huo Xiu shouldnât pay attention to them anymore. To be on the safe side, he better deal with them as soon as possible.
Chuntao knelt down with a loud âthudâ sound, and said in a panic, âPlease donât drive us away. Itâs my fault for speaking without thinking today. I will never dare to do it anymoreâ¦â¦â
Uncle Rong was also stunned. He thought that Chuntao made some big mistake when she went to the banquet with Xi Ning. Xi Ning did not compromise and said, âSend them away as soon as possible.â
Chuntao even wanted to vault over and hug Xi Ningâs legs. Xi Ning dodged and went back to his bedroom alone, leaving the rest to Uncle Rong.
The system secretly checked Si TuZhaoâs information just now. It turned out that it could only find very little information and knew no more than Uncle Rong. Seeing that Xi Ning was in a bad mood, it suggested, âWhy donâtâ¦â¦ Iâll go check Si TuZhaoâs character data again. This is the most accurate way to determine whether he is Chu Yi or not, but the master also knows that it takes a long time.â
âNo need.â Xi Ning could guess why Si TuZhao was pretending not to know him. âHe might be afraid of Huo Xiuâ¦â¦â
Having said that, Xi Ning was still worried that it would be another situation. Maybe he was not Chu Yi at all, or maybe he lost his memory after being seriously injuredâ¦â¦
Xi Ning still remembered the look in Si TuZhaoâs eyes when he was looking at him. He panicked and went to bed early after applying the ointment.
Late at night, there was a small sound coming from the bedroom window, but Xi Ning was already asleep and would not have noticed. Only the system was very alert and planned to wake Xi Ning at any time. However, after waiting for a long time, there was no abnormality and no one came in.
The system thought it was caused by the wind blowing, so it ignored it.
â
After a few days, Xi Ning never left his palace and he also didnât see Si TuZhao again.
He asked Uncle Rong to inquire for information about Si TuZhao for him. Uncle Rong said that Si TuZhao may have come to investigate the two devils that had sneaked into the Immortal Palace last time. He heard someone mention it outside, but recently Si TuZhao stayed with the Immortal Emperor during the day and went back to the palace that the Immortal Emperor had arranged for him at night.
Uncle Rong thought Xi Ning was worried, but he did not think that he was Chu Yi. âYour Royal Highness, donât worry, the Immortal Emperor will send someone to monitor him seriously, and he lives in the North Hall, which is far away from us.â
Xi Ning responded in a low voice, he asked Uncle Rong to leave and sit alone in the yard to enjoy the sun.
He propped his head up with his hand and stared at the air for a while, then suddenly got up and walked outside the hall.
A servant saw Xi Ning and hurried to follow him. âYour Royal Highness, where do you want to go? Do you needâ¦â¦â
âNo need. I just want to have a walk by myself.â
Uncle Rong had already sent several spirits out of the Immortal Palace, but Xi Ning refused the personal servants he arranged for him, and he didnât like people following him.
He had been waiting for so many days, and he couldnât hold it anymore. Even if he didnât manage to question him, he still wanted to try to meet him in person.
Xi Ning left the palace, then looked for the direction and walked slowly towards the North Hall.
On his way, he thought, what if Si TuZhao still doesnât know him? If he is Chu Yi, he will definitely be able to relieve his illness. He planned to look for a chance to meet Si TuZhao and touch himâ¦â¦
Xi Ning lowered his head and walked alone. Suddenly someone called him.
âThe seventh prince?â
He stopped and looked at the person who called him cluelessly. It was an unfamiliar cultivator that was standing in a pavilion not far away. He was sitting beside Si TuZhao who was also looking at Xi Ning.
But when Xi Ning saw that the person he was looking for was here, he stood still not knowing whether to leave or stay, since there were other people around.
The cultivator smiled. âItâs really Your Royal Highness, where are you going? Why are you alone?â
âIâ¦â¦â Xi Ning looked at Si TuZhao subconsciously, and found that he was also staring at him closely. Si TuZhao looked at him emotionless, but not as cold as he was at the banquet.
Xi Ning felt relieved a bit, he looked away from Si TuZhao and turned his head to the cultivator and said. âI was bored staying in the palace, so I wanted to have a walk alone. I wonât disturb you two for now.â
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, and it really looked like Si TuZhao and him were strangers.
After Xi Ning left, the cultivator said to Si TuZhao, âThis is the seventh prince. He is the youngest son of the Immortal Emperor. Usually he doesnât like going out very much. Devil Lord, you should have seen him at the banquet that day.â
Si TuZhao responded faintly, sitting absent minded for a while and then got up. âIs the Immortal Emperor in the palace at this time?â
âYes,â the cultivator hurriedly said, and wanting to lead the way for Si TuZhao, âDevil Lord, this way please.â
âNo, you have already wasted a lot of time because of me, I will just go by myself.â
Si TuZhao raised his hand to stop him. He walked away and soon disappeared from his sight.
