...

The intimate contact between the two of them had removed all barriers, leaving no secrets between them.

Even the best of girlfriends could not reach the level of closeness they had, and moreover, Ye Huan had watched the entire battle between her and Qin Fang.

Chu Yunxuan, however, did not expose this matter and acted as if she had not seen anything, simply draping her arms around Qin Fang's neck, pressing gently against him, and talking.

"Qin Fang, what exactly happened tonight?"

Even though quite some time had passed, Chu Yunxuan had not asked Qin Fang for details since he brought Ye Huan back. But from the way Ye Huan looked when she arrived, it was clear that something had happened.

"Miao Junfeng did it!"

Qin Fang had nothing to hide from Chu Yunxuan, aside from the matters related to the "System" that he was not allowed to reveal. Basically, everything about Qin Fang was known by Chu Yunxuan.

"Miao Junfeng?"

Upon hearing this name, Chu Yunxuan's eyebrows furrowed.

Perhaps before tonight, Chu Yunxuan was not familiar with Miao Junfeng, as she mostly kept to the military district and seldom visited the city centre, even the Jin Cheng Salon was her first visit.

But from Miao Junfeng's arrogant demeanor, showing scant regard for even Li Yang and Ai Nan, the top military scions, one could see his domineering nature.

Chu Yunxuan was somewhat aware of what these spoiled scions were like, and Miao Junfeng, as the foremost scion of Xishu, was definitely the most spoiled of them all.

He had kidnapped Ye Huan, so this matter was certainly not going to end well. Qin Fang going to her rescue was bound to offend such a person, and now that Ye Huan had been saved and Qin Fang returned with bloodstains on him...

"Where is he now?"

Chu Yunxuan asked this question with a bit of worry in her heart, vaguely thinking of something.

"Dead..."

Qin Fang whispered with a sigh.

He did not pity Miao Junfeng and Zatai; both men were responsible for so many lives and truly deserved death. His concern was about the possible repercussions for Chu Yunxuan—after all, she was a woman.

"Good riddance! He got what he deserved!"

Chu Yunxuan was not frightened like other women might be, instead she cursed with a sense of relief.

Although she did not know the specifics of what had happened when Qin Fang went to rescue Ye Huan, as a doctor, she knew from Ye Huan's reaction that she had been drugged, and when she returned, she was naked and with a face that had been swollen from beatings.

Being a woman herself, Chu Yunxuan might not fully empathize, but such actions were already enough to cause immense hatred.

"However, Miao Junfeng's death is going to be a big problem! His father is the top leader in Xishu, and it's very likely that he will make things difficult for you! We should leave here as soon as possible..."

Despite her curses, Chu Yunxuan was not the type to lose sense of what's important, and her brow furrowed even deeper.

Killing the eldest son of Xishu was definitely a huge problem; moreover, this was Miao's territory, staying here would certainly be very dangerous.

"It was handled cleanly, temporarily they can't trace it back to me! I reckon I'll have to head into the mountains tomorrow, and after collecting the herbs, you'll return to Ninghai with me!"

Qin Fang shook his head. He wasn't too worried about his own safety. That place was quite hidden, and he had Shen Liang thoroughly conduct reconnaissance of the surrounding area, leaving no traces behind.

In addition, the bodies were destroyed, and any signs of the fight at the scene were erased. Even if Miao Junfeng's father was the top official in Xishu Province, he had no way to get to him for the time being, unless he used some private power.

But killing him, Qin Fang, would not be an easy task.

Qin Fang had also rested for a few days in Jincheng, and there had been news about the herbs. The meeting with Li Yang that Qin Fang had set up was in about a day or two, and it was certain that Qin Fang had to make a trip into the mountains.

Those herbs were something Qin Fang was determined to obtain. Missing this opportunity, it would not be easy to organize so many people to search the mountains again!

"Don't worry! I killed the man, and I will find a way to settle this matter without involving you..."

However, at this moment, Ye Huan's voice suddenly rose from behind Qin Fang, which slightly surprised him. Almost instinctively, Qin Fang wanted to find something to wrap himself and Chu Yunxuan in.

The night passed without words.

Chu Yunxuan and Qin Fang struggled until dawn, and then they fell asleep on the sofa in each other's arms, probably too exhausted to wake, they slept very soundly.

As for Ye Huan, who slept in the bedroom bed, she tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.

The noise outside was one factor, but more so, Ye Huan was fantasizing about her future.

The murder of Miao Junfeng wasn't as easy as she had made it seem. The power of Thousand Gates was significant, but it wasn't to the extent of covering heaven with one hand. Moreover, she was at best an outer sect disciple, not a formal Thousand Gates Acolyte. She had to handle this matter properly; otherwise... she might truly have to flee far away.

A night's time wasn't really that long. As she mused, the day had already brightened. She didn't even notice what time the two outside had finished their battle.

But one thing she did know was that their battle was quite intense and lasted a long time. She was even surprised at Chu Yunxuan's stamina, wondering how she could have such good endurance since she had long noticed that Chu Yunxuan was not a martial practitioner, certainly not having the same kind of strength as herself.

Of course, she was also astounded by Qin Fang's formidable stamina and could only describe it in two words—beastly!

Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan slept soundly, and the more they exhausted their strength, the better they rested, sleeping straight through until the sun was high in the sky. It was Li Yang's phone call that woke the two of them.

This time, Li Yang was smart enough to guess that they must have slept late, so he didn't call in the morning but waited until noon, around lunchtime, to call.

Neither Qin Fang nor Chu Yunxuan was pleased with this wake-up service, as they both had not had their fill of sleep. But since the call had come, they had to get up—Li Yang and the others were waiting for them to have lunch, after all.

Of course, there was something more important to discuss, and that was the big issue of going into the mountains to gather herbs.

This matter was very important to Li Yang because it was connected to his father's recovery. He had to treat it with utmost care, allowing no room for negligence.

Of course, it was equally important to Qin Fang. From the news that came from Li Yang's side, all the dozen or so varieties of herbs listed in the prescription he provided were found, which even surprised Qin Fang himself. Initially, he thought it would be quite satisfying if two-thirds could be found.

Unexpectedly, the warriors Li Yang dispatched were so efficient that they found all the materials required to refine the Heart Nourishing Pill in such deep mountains, which meant that Qin Fang's Heart Nourishing Pill was already halfway to success.

Of course, whether they were the herbs he needed would require his personal entry into the mountain to identify. Maybe those warriors had mistaken them.

However, Qin Fang still hoped that the warriors had not made an error. Then, he could prepare the second type of elixir, and moreover, one so powerful...(To be continued.
