Tang Li Xue canceled her [Thousand Myriad Faces] and revealed her stunningly beautiful appearance without wearing any mask or veil to cover it.
"Hello, uncle. Hello, Doctor Xu. Uh, I... have something important to do, so I come back to this palace." Tang Li Xue greeted the middle-aged man in a Taoist uniform and Xu Yang with an awkward smile on her charming face.
"Oh~! So, it is you~!" The Taoist uncle exclaimed in realization before he glanced at Xu Yang with a teasing smirk on his face.
Tang Li Xue took out several packages of snacks she had bought from Fox Clan City, then pushed them to Xu Yang and the Taoist uncle.
"These things are meeting gifts from me. They are not valuable, so I hope you two will not despise them. That’s all for today. I will see you again tomorrow." Tang Li Xue said to Xu Yang and the Taoist uncle, then she turned around.
But before she could get out of Xu Yang’s courtyard, the Taoist uncle suddenly blocked her way.
Tang Li Xue tried to pass from the right, but the Taoist uncle also stepped to the right to block her.
Then Tang Li Xue tried to pass from the left, but the Taoist uncle stepped to the left and blocked her again.
"Do you think you can just come and go as you please after you barge into my place?" Xu Yang muttered in a chilling tone.
Tang Li Xue nervously swallowed her saliva as she turned around again to face Xu Yang.
"Err, then... what should I do?" Tang Li Xue timidly asked Xu Yang.
Xu Yang turned around and headed to his room while muttering: "Come in first. We will discuss it inside."
When Tang Li Xue and Taoist uncle could only see his back, Xu Yang silently touched his chest.
His heart was still beating so fast and hard uncontrollably after he had such an intimate close contact with Tang Li Xue just now.
Her warm breath and sweet feminine scent made him almost lose his reason.
Xu Yang knew that he had a feeling for Tang Li Xue.
But even so, he was clearly not an impulsive person who would fawn over the girl he liked and blindly trust her.
The real cause of the Second Prince’s death was actually because Tang Li Xue lured him out of the palace.
Even though Tang Li Xue had disguised herself before, but there were many clues about it because there were so many eyewitnesses when Tang Li Xue lured the Second Prince out of the palace before.
If it weren’t for Xu Yang’s help, who secretly cleaned up all the mess Tang Li Xue left behind, some smart people might have been able to guess that Tang Li Xue was the perpetrator behind that.
Third Prince saved the fox girl and brought her into the palace, then the fox girl went missing after escaping from Heavenly Prison, someone infiltrated the palace with amazing disguise skills, the Second Prince’s sudden death...
After connecting all of those dots, it was hard not to suspect Tang Li Xue’s involvement in the Second Prince’s death.
And now, Tang Li Xue had actually returned to the crime scene as if nothing had happened at all and greeted him as soon as she entered the palace.
Xu Yang would never believe Tang Li Xue really does not have any ulterior motive for him.
Not to mention, someone also tried to infiltrate his courtyard yesterday, but when his guardian tried to catch her, that sneaky thief still managed to escape in the end.
However, the Taoist uncle discovered that the sneaky thief was using divine abilities to escape from him, so the sneaky thief was probably from the Beast Race.
There were not many Beast Races that could have human form before they evolved into Spirit Beasts.
The most famous and cunning one among them was, of course, the Fox Clan.
From all of those clues, Xu Yang easily concluded that the Fox Clan might have a grand plan involving him.
This is Xu Yang.
He is cold, intelligent, and rational.
Just because he had a feeling for Tang Li Xue does not mean he would do anything for her or the Fox Clan behind her, especially if the Fox Clan planned to ruin the Great Wei Dynasty.
Without any other choice, Tang Li Xue could only grit her pearl-white teeth and obediently follow Xu Yang into his room.
The middle-aged Taoist uncle followed closely behind her without giving her even the slightest chance to escape.
Of course, if Tang Li Xue really wanted to escape from here, she could easily do it by using the [Swap] skill to exchange her location with her perfect copy.
But doing that will only ruin her relationship with Xu Yang, so Tang Li Xue decided to just bear with it for now.
Anyway, Xu Yang would surely not kill her without any clear reason, right? Err, well... Maybe... Tang Li Xue could only silently pray that Xu Yang would not go that far.
After the three of them entered the room, the middle-aged Taoist uncle closed the door tightly and sealed the entire room with his formation.
Xu Yang sat on the tea chair, then spoke to Tang Li Xue: "Sit."
Tang Li Xue sat nervously on the tea chair that faced Xu Yang.
She fidgeted uncomfortably as if she were sitting on the thorny torture chair.
The cold, terrifying pressure emitted by Xu Yang was so strong that it made Tang Li Xue feel small, timid, and guilty.
