Xu Yang touched his chest to sense his uncontrollable heartbeat and gritted his teeth.
Despite the vicious words he just said about Tang Li Xue, his heart said otherwise.
"You do not need to worry about me. With this protective formation, I will be safe here, so you can go and find that vixen now." Xu Yang said to the Taoist Uncle coldly.
"Find that pretty girl? In this kind of situation? Do you really want me to kill her that badly?" The Taoist Uncle was astonished by Xu Yang’s absurd decision.
"When did I say you had to kill her? You just need to bring her here safely!" Xu Yang coldly retorted to Taoist Uncle.
Taoist Uncle’s confused expression changed to realization.
Then he sneered at Xu Yang and uttered to him in a teasing tone: "Oh, I see. You are just worried about that pretty girl, so you ask me to bring her here safely, right? Hehehe~! After all you said about killing her, in the end, you still..."
"Okay, that is enough! Shut up! Just go now and bring her back quickly before something bad really happens to her!" Xu Yang scolded in annoyance.
If Tang Li Xue saw this scene, she might have clicked her tongue and exclaimed that Xu Yang was truly a ’tsundere’.
"Pfft~! Bwahahaha!" Taoist Uncle laughed out loud at Xu Yang, but he still carried out his order and swiftly jumped out from the window before Xu Yang could scold him again.
Xu Yang also felt angry and disappointed with himself, but there was nothing he could do about his own feelings.
Xu Yang sighed and sat on the chair while muttering softly in a helpless tone: "Damn it! Can she just sit quietly and stop doing things that make me want to kill her?!"
.....

Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue was currently heading toward Xu Yang’s courtyard.
She did not know that Xu Yang was actually in his office at Supreme Medical Hall.
"Holy crap, these crimson trees are so creepy! I wonder where Miss Shao Ying found their seeds from?" Tang Li Xue murmured curiously while sprinting toward Xu Yang’s courtyard using her [Moonlight Flickering Dance Step].
Then she immediately recalled the scene she had secretly peeked at on the Wind Floor.
At that time, Shao Ying had discussed something suspicious with the Blood God Cult, but Tang Li Xue did not bother to pay any attention to it, so she did not know what they had discussed.
Tang Li Xue guessed that these crimson towering trees should be something that Shao Ying obtained from the Blood God Cult.
But Tang Li Xue was still very curious about what Shao Ying would get by helping the Blood God Cult like this.
"What is Miss Shao Ying thinking?! What if Doctor Xu also got poisoned and trapped in the cocoon like the others? What if he accidentally got killed in the end? Does that mean our plan to let Doctor Xu seize the throne failed?" Tang Li Xue complained unhappily.
To be honest, Tang Li Xue still could not fully trust Shao Ying and Ji Xuanming’s team.
That was the main reason why she did not dare to rashly trigger her System’s quest about persuading Doctor Xu to compete for the throne.
There were too many uncertainties with the involvement of many parties, such as Shao Ying, Ji Xuanming’s team, Blood God Cult, and the other anti-government factions.
It would be a completely different story if she were carrying out this mission with her previous teammates, such as Silly Fox, Bingbing, and Instructor Mei Lan, because she had already fully trusted them.
It did not take long for Tang Li Xue to reach Xu Yang’s courtyard with her [Moonlight Flickering Dance Step]’s speed.
Not to mention, all of the people in the palace seemed to be captured by the crimson towering trees, so Tang Li Xue did not meet with any obstacles at all on her way.
However, Tang Li Xue suddenly halted her step right before she could step into Xu Yang’s courtyard.
"I almost forgot that there are so many troublesome formations in here." Tang Li Xue scratched her long silky silver hair in frustration.
Tang Li Xue cancelled her [Ethereal Form] and grabbed Little Loki, who sat leisurely on her right shoulder, and said to it: "It seems that I can only count on you, Little Loki! Go, my minesweeper!"
Little Loki rolled its eyes as it jumped out from Tang Li Xue’s arms and landed gracefully on the stone floor.
Then it approached Xu Yang’s courtyard and opened its tiny mouth.
But before Little Loki could unleash its [Heaven’s Devour]...
"Hey, there you are, Little Girl~!" A rough male voice echoed from right behind Tang Li Xue.
