The next day, Sui Yi and the others, along with Shi Feixuan, left the small house. The latter returned to Jingnian Zen Temple, and Fu Junnuo had to handle her own affairs. As for Sui Yi and Natasha...

"I need to go back to Persia for a bit," Natasha’s words slightly surprised Sui Yi.

"There’s something over there that can quickly make me stronger... Always following you around isn’t ideal."

Before Sui Yi could respond, Natasha crossed her arms, sat in the carriage, and glanced back at Sui Yi: "Always seeing me naked, at least spend a few days apart to change things up for yourself."

Go on, I won’t see you off.

Natasha departed in her usual flamboyant manner.

Sui Yi watched the carriage leave and sighed inwardly, after all, she still cared.

This person and Hell’s Wan Ge... their feelings weren’t actually that bad.

Could it be feelings born from bickering?

Well, it’s not always bickering; Hell’s Wan Ge has always been quite passive.

After Natasha left, Sui Yi didn’t get to meet Li Shimin, and there was no need.

As for the next destination...

Sui Yi intended to give Natasha and Shi Feixuan some time to heal, so he wasn’t planning to leave just yet... Even with swift movements, it’s impossible to catch up to Liew Baiyi and others who had already devised a perfect plan. Even with the Li Family’s investigative skills, they couldn’t track the retreat route, so Sui Yi wasn’t going to work in vain. Regarding Hell’s Wan Ge’s safety, if Liew Baiyi wouldn’t do anything to her within one or two days, then neither would they in ten days or half a month.

Especially since they needed her, and since she was kind of a hostage, she should receive the treatment of one, which is why Song Que and others viewed Sui Yi as so composed.

Sui Yi was actually more concerned about Hell’s Wan Ge’s own issues.

"To save Natasha before, her hidden constitution probably erupted, who knows what changes occurred..."

Sui Yi didn’t expect Lie Xun to be waiting for her.

Willows swayed gently, with Eastern vessels docked at the lakeside.

Lie Xun stood there, and upon seeing her appear, smiled, approached, and bowed: "Teacher."

Sui Yi nodded slightly.

"Is Shong Ming dead?"

Lie Xun smiled: "He won’t survive."

Sui Yi didn’t comment, yet heard Lie Xun’s sincere thanks, prompting her to glance at him, saying, "Your martial arts are no less than Yue Shan and others, besides excelling in poison; even without me and Shi Feixuan’s intervention, there wouldn’t be any problem. However, I don’t understand... Did Lady of Dongming send you just for Li Shimin?"

Understanding the Central Plains’ situation from Dongming’s side and accurately identifying Li Shimin as the true winner... that requires incredible insight and acumen.

Sui Yi naturally felt both curious and cautious about the Lady of Dongming; of course, perhaps due to recent hypersensitivity or something else, she always felt Lie Xun had certain intentions toward her.

"Three parts for Li Shimin, seven parts for you, Teacher."

Sui Yi raised an eyebrow.

Lie Xun seemed not to notice Sui Yi’s deep gaze, simply reached into his chest and took out a scroll.

Alright, it’s this again!

Surely it’s not another portrait of hers?

"Rest assured, this is definitely not a portrait of you, Teacher... As for whose portrait it is, I don’t know either, Lady of Dongming only instructed me to ensure this portrait reaches you..."

"Now that the portrait has been delivered, it’s time for me to leave..."

Lie Xun left as well.

Sui Yi looked at the scroll in her hand, pursed her lips, had she become a professional deliverer?

And upon the ship leaving the lakeside, Lie Xun watched Sui Yi on the shore... she opened the scroll.

Lie Xun focused on Sui Yi’s expression, but found no traces from it, only faintly seeing her raise an eyebrow.

What does this mean?

Whose image is on that painting?

It’s a pity, if Lie Xun had sensory abilities like Sui Yi, he might have heard her words.

"Eastern..."

Upon first learning about Dongfang Bubai, Sui Yi felt deeply conflicted; initially, she was prepared for Dongfang Bubai to have arrived in another time or returned to her original time, but now... were they a whole nest together?

It’s a pity she found two people, yet shortly lost one again...

Should she complete it at Dongming?

Sui Yi chuckled.

But given Dongfang’s character, knowing she’s here, she would never wait for her to find her, instead, she would proactively approach... In terms of character, she’s far stronger than Sui Yi, since she hasn’t come, indicating she personally cannot meet face to face with Sui Yi.

Still must let Sui Yi visit Dongming once.

Before leaving Luoyang, Sui Yi met once with Jingzhao Ning, who handed her the messenger pigeon for contacting Sui Tang Square in Changan. Sui Yi naturally had the ability to handle messenger pigeons, so Jingzhao Ning wasn’t worried about her being unable to manage this pigeon.
