When An Feng and An Yin regained their six senses, they saw His Excellency and Ninth Miss happily playing five-piece chess, as if the previous dispute had not existed.
Moreover, His Excellency had lost more than he won. It was obvious that he was going easy on her. They saw that his eyes overflowed with affection for the one who sat across him.
An Feng gave Yun Chujiu a thumbs up in his heart. Damn, only the Ninth Miss had such ability. His Excellency was extremely furry. Even the Palace Mistress and Palace Master could not tame him, he did not expect to see His Excellency so docile in such a short time.
Yun Chujiu and Di Beiming recounted recent events while playing chess. Di Beiming said, “I sent people to look for the Primordial fruit, but there is still no news. If it really can’t be done, I will ask the master for some marrow cleansing pills.”
Di Beiming was also worried about Yun Chujiu entering Tianyuan Academy alone. It was not bad to let Feng Ming and the others enter together with her. Most importantly, the three of them did not have any romantic feelings for Little Jiu. With them watching over Little Jiu, it would alleviate some of his worries.
When Di Beiming thought of this, he began to plan in his heart. If he had time, he would have to contact the three of them to stay in touch with each other. At that time, he could replace the current role of An Feng. Tianyuan Academy was different from the Spirit Radiance Sect. The security there was very tight, and An Feng would not be able to sneak in.
“Prince Charming, that is also possible. However, your master’s whereabouts are uncertain, so it is not certain when he will be able to be contacted. Moreover, I feel that the Universal Essense Cleansing Pill is more awesome. It’s just a pity that I ate both of the Primordial fruits back then. If only I kept just one!
“The most annoying thing is that the core of the Primordial fruit that I buried at the corner of the wall somehow disappeared. I don’t know if it turned rotten or if someone stole it,” Yun Chujiu said angrily.
“Miss Jiu, the core of the Primordial fruit is hardy. Even if it doesn’t sprout, it won’t rot. Could it be that you misremembered where you planted it?” An Feng came up to her and said.
“No, I remember it clearly. I also searched the surrounding soil, but I didn’t find any traces of the core. Could it have been stolen? It shouldn’t be. Others don’t know that I buried the core. It’s really strange.”
An Feng glanced at the Three Silly Munchkins who were playing and said in a low voice, “Miss Jiu, could it be that the three of them dug it out and ate it secretly?”
An Feng’s words made sense to Yun Chujiu. The three of them were very greedy. Perhaps they dug out the fruit core and ate it, especially the Little Black Bird, who was the prime suspect. When she buried it, it had been watching her do it.
“Little Black Bird, come here!” Yun Chujiu hooked her finger at Little Black Bird.
Little Black Bird flew over and said, “Master, are you going to give me something delicious?”
Yun Chujiu grabbed Little Black Bird’s short wings and said, “Speak! Did you dig out the seeds of the Primordial fruit and eat them?”
Little Black Bird was stunned for a moment, then he burst into tears. “Waa waa, master, you have made me so sad! I have been loyal to you. I have worked hard even though I have not contributed much. How could you slander and malign me like this? You have broken my heart! Besides, I am not a beggar. Why would I dig up fruit cores? Waaaa, I don’t want to live anymore. I am too ashamed. I have been framed! I’m a victim of injustice!”
Yun Chujiu touched her nose guiltily. “Little Black Bird, I was just asking. I didn’t say that you were the one who stole the food. Can’t I even ask questions?”
“Master, don’t you feel guilty saying that? Why did you only ask me? You even grabbed me by my wings. You are obviously treating me as a suspect. Waaa waaahh, I am so sad. I don’t want to live anymore….”
