Chapter 1540: Chapter 1540: Almost Forgot Such a Person

Lan Fan has been missing for a long time.

Actually, at this time, Chu Qianli’s departure from Nanming was something Fu Long was more than happy to see.

Because with Lan Fan present in Nanming, Fu Long always felt that as long as Lan Fan wasn’t eliminated, Chu Qianli would be in danger.

But the key issue is, if Lan Fan were eliminated, Chu Qianli would also suffer.

So, instead of dealing with Lan Fan, better to stay away.

If the two never meet, would Ali be somewhat safer?

Of course, this was just Fu Long’s idea; he was still unfamiliar with the Life and Death Alliance. Ultimately, whether distance could breed safety was uncertain.

"What is the situation with Lan Qing now?" Chu Qianli asked.

Fu Long hurriedly replied, "When I left, the State Preceptor was still the same as before, but these past two days, occasionally his eyelids would move a bit."

But since it was too far to approach, Fu Long wasn’t sure whether the State Preceptor was showing signs of waking up.

"It just looks like his complexion is getting more rosy, not like someone who’s ill."

Hearing this, Chu Qianli fell into thought.

Given that vitality and spirits have improved greatly, why is it that he still hasn’t woken up?

However, those Secret Techniques of the Lan Family still seemed too mysterious and incomprehensible to Chu Qianli.

She was just an ordinary person and truly couldn’t pierce through all this.

"You don’t need to worry about the State Preceptor’s matter for now. For now, still first plan what needs doing once you return to Beiming."

Fu Long walked to the door and listened carefully outside.

Not detecting any sound, he returned to Chu Qianli and whispered, "Shiyi’s people disappeared three days after Prince Yexuan left."

Chu Qianli nodded; she’d heard all this from Shiyi before.

Fu Long added, "When I arrived, Shiyi just returned."

"What did he say?" Chu Qianli seemed to not have noticed.

"Shiyi said, Prince Yexuan returned to the Imperial City two days ago."

"He didn’t go to Heifeng Forest?"

The Treasure Map indicates the treasure location as beyond the Heifeng Cliff in the Nameless Mountain.

If Feng Yexuan wanted the treasure, he should have gone straight to Heifeng Forest.

Going to the treasure site necessitates going through Heifeng Forest.

While Heifeng Forest is not too far from the Imperial City, it’s not close either; even with swift horses, it would take a few days of travel.

At the time, Chu Qianli and Fu Long had gone there together and were quite familiar with the area.

Feng Yexuan not going to Heifeng Forest but returning directly to the Imperial City instead—was it because of Hua Rong?

"Did you find out when Hua Rong initially left? And when he left again?" Fu Long asked.

Since Fu Long had been at Lingjiu Hall previously, and only just returned, what he knew might not be more than what Chu Qianli knew.

Chu Qianli pursed her lips and then said, "Our people don’t know when Hua Rong first left, but by Feng Yexuan’s side, there’s Granny Cui and Fen Ling, yet Hua Rong seems not there."

"Moreover, two days before Prince Yexuan left, Prince Qihe hurriedly left after leaving a message for Father Emperor."

"Prince Qihe?" Fu Long’s heart stirred.

Having stayed in Lingjiu Hall too long, he had forgotten Feng Qihe was also the one going to Nanming.

"Ali, are you suspecting Feng Qihe is related to Hua Rong?"

"Don’t know." Feng Qihe is a Prince of Beiming, when he wants to return, there’s no stopping him.

Besides, during that time, not only was she injured by Lan Fan, but she also had to deal with Prince Yu. Afterward, she was always taking care of Father Emperor.

Chu Qianli even with split-body techniques couldn’t find the time to focus on Feng Qihe.

Could it be that Feng Qihe and Hua Rong’s disappearances are indeed connected?
