Just as Song Yunjiao read the map carefully, there appeared a sudden darkness in front of her.

Song Yunjiao was startled and looked up.

In the weak light, she only saw a vague figure, and the figure came over to her.

Behind Song Yunjiao was the wall so she had nowhere to go.

“You…”

Before Song Yunjiao could finish the sentence, the darkness came to her eyes, and she slid down against the wall.

“Let go of her!”

A loud shout sounded through the dark night.

Ming Shu turned around the corner from another side and saw someone was threatening her snacks coupon at a glance.

The black shadow immediately shouldered Song Yunjiao and jumped up on the roof.

Ming Shu standing below: “…”

I can’t fly! 

Ming Shu subconsciously reached to touch Little Beastie, yet found nothing. That little foodie was not “at home”!

Ming Shu ran back to the battlefield and pulled at Miss Xue. “Can you fly?”

Miss Xue was originally focusing on the man, and being pulled by Ming Shu all of a sudden, she was stunned.

She didn’t have wings, so how could she fly?

“Qing Kung,” Ming Shu added.

Miss Xue twitched the corners of her mouth, and nodded. Of course she had that skill, and as the Yunxi Pavilion’s…

“Hurry up, your treasure map has been robbed, let’s go get it back.”

Miss Xue was pulled away running.

“Miss Xue, where are you going?” the store head shouted from behind them. They hadn’t settled the matter at hand, had they?

–

“Are you sure we’re heading in the right direction?” Miss Xue had flown for half a day yet found not even a ghost’s shadow.

Ming Shu, who was carried by Miss Xue, answered, “Of course I’m sure.”

“…What are you eating?”

“Ah, I don’t know. It was picked from a tree when we were passing a courtyard just now.”

“…” She dared eat something that she didn’t even know. Wasn’t she afraid of being poisoned?

Wait, I’m flying so fast, she could actually pick things from the tree? 

“It’s there, over there!” Ming Shu suddenly pointed forward with excitement. “Hey, bro, you lost your steamed bun!”

The man before them seemed to pause for a moment, but then he buckled down and ran like hell with Song Yunjiao over his shoulder.

Miss Xue was speechless. Do you think he’ll stop if you call? 

Can I throw her away now?

They left the city in tandem. Miss Xue’s Qing Kung was quite good and she chased the man very closely.

Without knowing how long had passed, the man stopped and asked with a gasp, “You… Why are you chasing me!”

He tried to get rid of them, but soon the two caught up with him again.

Miss Xue put Ming Shu down. Right… Why was she chasing him?

Oh! Right, the treasure map! 

Miss Xue said, “This bro, the object in your hand, it belongs to the Yunxi Pavilion.”

The man gave a look to Song Yunjiao and murmured, “Yunxi Pavilion dares to accept the imperial concubine?”

He was murmuring to himself, but it was silent all around right now and there wasn’t even any buzz of insects, so his voice reached Ming Shu and Miss Xue easily.

“She meant the treasure map,” Ming Shu explained.

Treasure map? What treasure map?

The man was confused. “I didn’t take your treasure map.”

Ming Shu added, “It’s in Song Yunjiao’s hands.”

The man lowered his head to see. There was indeed a sheepskin map in Song Yunjiao’s hands.

Song Yunjiao had passed out, so the man drew the sheepskin map out of her hands and swept his gaze over it casually, then threw it to Miss Xue. “Take it back.”

Miss Xue: “…”

He was not coming for the treasure map?

The man put Song Yunjiao on his shoulder again, “Stop chasing me.”

As he turned around, he was suddenly faced with a smile and was startled to retreat in a rush.

He turned his head to look at back; there was only Miss Xue.

…But when did this person move behind him?

“What else do you want?!” he roared. “I’ve given the treasure map back to you.”

Ming Shu’s tone was tender. “Relax, I was just asking. Why did you kidnap her? Will you kill her?”

The man stared at Ming Shu alertly.

“What does it have to do with you?”

“If you won’t kill her, then she’s all yours, but if she gets killed… I’m afraid you must leave her here.” I have to save my snacks coupon whenever and wherever possible, so tired. 

The man became even more confused. He didn’t react until a long while later. “Why would I kill her? She’s Prince Six’s imperial concubine!”

Miss Xue: “…” You know she’s Prince Six’s imperial concubine and kidnap her still!

Ming Shu was eating something again, and she said slowly after chewing for some time, “Okay, you can go now.”

“…”

He looked at the girl shrouded in darkness with suspicion.

Waiting for a moment, he retreated a few steps, and paused. No one moved, so he turned around in a rush, then ran away quickly.

When he had run a long distance, he looked back and found no one was chasing anymore.

He ran for a whole night, then arrived in a village in the early morning.

It was still early and the villagers hadn’t woken up. The man jumped into one of the houses.

“You’re back.”

Someone was waiting in the courtyard, and seeing the man come back, he immediately came up. “Is this her?”

The man nodded and threw the person on the ground.

“Did everything go well?”

“I met a strange person,” he said. “I’ll go inside first. How was the owner?”

“The condition has been temporarily stabilized… Why did you tie her up like this?”

“Just in case of any accident,” the man answered. “You don’t know, I met two women last night who chased me all the way just to ask if I’m going to kill her. If I’m going kill her, do I need to carry her and run so far?”

The other man frowned. “Who were they?”

“One of them was from Yunxi Pavilion, the Miss Xue who followed Lord Ghost; and I don’t know the other one.”

“How did you screw around with Yunxi Pavilion?”

“I don’t know. I saw she hid herself on one side alone, so I was thinking to just knock her out and leave. Who knows why Yunxi Pavilion’s people began to chase me.” The man was also very depressed.

“Yunxi Pavilion wouldn’t chase you for nothing, what did she say?”

The man scratched his head. “That Miss Xue asked for some kind of treasure map, and it was in this woman’s hands. I didn’t want to cause trouble so I gave it to them.”

“…What treasure map?”

“I don’t know. It was very dark and I didn’t see it clearly. It was like a map or something.”

“…”

–

Right now, Ming Shu and Miss Xue squatted on a tree not far.

Miss Xue didn’t know why she was squatting here. There were actually a lot of affairs waiting for her in the Yunxi Pavilion.

“What’s that treasure map?” The woman next to her leaned over and asked this in a casual tone.

Miss Xue answered, “The treasure map… Do you want to buy this information, guest?”

Ming Shu shook her head while chutting. “Little sister, it was I who told you where this map was, so why can’t you pay me back with just some small information? All business people are profiteers, but you can’t be a profiteer the whole time.”

Miss Xue remained unmoved. “If you won’t buy, don’t ask.”

Shua!

Miss Xue’s body turned rigid and she looked at the branch against her neck.

As a person practicing martial arts, her intuition told her that it was best not to move at this time.

Just as she was about to say something, she heard the owner of the “weapon” ask, “How much!”

Miss Xue: “…” Does it really require such a big movement to make an inquiry? 

Miss Xue spread out five fingers.

“Five thousand?”

Miss Xue shook her hand.

“Fifty thousand?”

Miss Xue added, “Gold.”

Ming Shu smiled. “I’ll give you another chance. Say it again.”

“My guest, it’s not me who sets the price. If I sell information cheap, I won’t be able to explain to the seniors.” Miss Xue wanted to cry but had no tears.

“Don’t think I don’t know your status in the Yunxi Pavilion. That Lord Ghost, she trusts you very much, right? So let me just tell you the truth—”
