Chapter 43 - Protection of the mysterious expert?

Just as she was carefully feeling the miraculous effects of the medicine, Jun Qing Yao, who was beside her, unknowingly looked at her with a profound gaze.

Ignoring her expression, just based on her facial features, it seemed like … Were they really that familiar?

Could she really be that Yue Feng Qing?

Suspicion could be seen in his eyes as Jun Qing Yao thought to himself.

For a moment, the room was silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Yue Feng Qing finally deciphered the medicinal ingredients within the pill. Suddenly opening his eyes, he turned his head and was about to thank Jun Qing Yao, but as she looked over, she suddenly noticed that Jun Qing Yao's gaze towards her had a hint of complexity in it.

Was it her imagination?

While he was secretly suspicious, Jun Qing Yao's expression had already returned to normal. He still carried a gentle and courteous smile, and asked her: "How is it?"

"This will require the help of an external force." Jun Qing Yao smiled at her, then began to explain the basic knowledge of pill refining to her.

Unknowingly, the two of them had already spent an entire afternoon.

At this moment, a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows revealed a hint of displeasure.

Seeing that she was happily chatting with Jun Qing Yao, Ye Bei Huang, who had been secretly observing her, couldn't help but secretly frown, and deep down his heart, a strong sense of dissatisfaction rose up.

Isn't it just general knowledge in alchemy!

Was there a need to have such an expectant look on his face?

"Hmph!" A dissatisfied look flashed in the depths of Ye Xiwen's eyes as he coldly snorted. He then gently waved his finger and a water jar outside the courtyard was smashed into pieces by an invisible force.

"Who is it!"

The sound of the water jar shattering sounded out, and Yue Feng Qing and Jun Qing Yao almost immediately rushed out.

However, when they looked around and used their mind energy to investigate, they still didn't see anyone. They couldn't help but look at each other and frown inwardly.

Suddenly, a breeze blew past, causing Yue Feng Qing's face to change slightly.

Damn it, who had been following her all this time?

Just as her expression slightly changed, Jun Qing Yao, who was at the side, seemed to have noticed her abnormal mood. He could not help but ask her softly, "What happened to you?"

She looked around with a serious expression. She bit her lips and shook her head. "It's nothing."

After saying that, he cast a doubtful glance at the broken water tank, and his heart sank a little.

It was at this moment that the voice of the Yan came from the main building. "Overlord, go ahead and do what you need to do. Girl, come up. I have something to ask you."

The moment the Yan's voice fell, a bright green luster suddenly rose from outside the main building's door.

After the glow rose, it was followed by a spiral shaped entrance.

She turned her head and nodded to Jun Qing Yao, then walked towards the entrance.

Just as she stepped into the entrance, Yue Feng Qing immediately felt the space around her undulate slightly, and then, in a flash, she was able to enter the room.

"Little girl, I wanted to ask you just now in the competition area, do you have a mysterious powerhouse protecting you from the shadows?"

After entering the room, before Yue Feng Qing could even take a good look at the room's environment, Yan's questioning voice came from the second floor.

Protecting a mysterious expert?

If there was truly a strong, mysterious guard, the original owner would not have accidentally eaten a poisonous fruit in the Misty Forest.

Wait!

Just as he was about to throw Yan a supercilious look, Yue Feng Qing suddenly remembered the strange scene just now. Immediately, his expression turned serious, and he quickly raised his head and rushed to the Yan who was reading the books on the second floor: "Why do you ask, Yan? Could it be … What did you just find out, sir? "

When the Yan heard her, he glanced at her strangely before a look of deep thought flashed past his eyes.

After that, he hesitated for a while and frowned, "Nothing much, just asking casually."

Finished speaking, he did not continue on this topic. Instead, after sizing her up for a while, he said softly, "I heard that the legendary Seventh Princess is also called Yue Feng Qing?"

When Yan said these words, a trace of suspicion flashed past Yue Feng Qing's eyes. She didn't understand why the topic of conversation had changed to this, but she still nodded at him, "That's right."

"It's been said that she was sent to the Ling Family's temporary residence three months ago." The Yan said indifferently, his gaze was focused on the book in his hands, "If I remember correctly, you are also from Jiyu City, right?"

"That's right, I am that trash of a Seventh Princess." Yue Feng Qing answered clearly. She did not plan to hide it from the Yan.

Seeing her admit her identity without any hesitation, Yan seemed to be surprised. He raised his head to look at her and said: "You're admitting to it so quickly?"

"Not quite. I wasn't planning on hiding anything from anyone." Yue Feng Qing answered without hesitation. He glanced at Yan and said with a smile that was not a smile, "I believe that Yan has already figured this out?"

Just now, when she had admitted that she was Seventh Princess, she could clearly see that there was no change in Yan's expression, not even a hint of surprise. From the looks of it, Yan should have long since known of her identity.

It was rumored that the Yan was extremely obsessed with the dao of alchemy, but apart from protecting her, she did not care about anything else. However, what happened today allowed her to have a new understanding of the old man before her.

Although the Yan seemed to be indifferent to other things, it did not mean that he only cared about refining pills. In her opinion, the reason the Yan was careless about other things was mostly because those things had nothing to do with him.

If something really did happen to him, even if it was just a small apprentice alchemist, he would still spend a lot of time and effort to investigate and think about it.

However, outside, it was rumored that Yan had swore to never take in any disciples in his entire life, which was quite puzzling!

While he was guessing in his heart, Yue Feng Qing was actually distracted.

"I had expected this would happen. However, lass, there is something that I must mention to you." Seeing that she seemed to be lost in thought, Yan slightly frowned, his expression suddenly becoming serious.

Seeing that Yan's expression suddenly changed, Yue Feng Qing immediately retracted his train of thought and looked at him in confusion.

"There is indeed a mysterious expert by your side. That expert's mental strength is definitely above mine!" Yan said with a serious expression. At the same time, he pondered for a few seconds and continued, "As far as I know, there is an extremely powerful expert in the East Ocean Imperial Family. According to your guess, is it possible that your royal father secretly sent people to protect you?"

When Yan said this, Yue Feng Qing was shocked.

She was sure that the mysterious Ranker that Yan was talking about was not from her royal father. Otherwise, the original owner wouldn't have died in Misty Forest.

However, at the same time, Yan's words were enough to prove that there was indeed a mysterious Ranker hiding behind her back!
