Chapter 361 Clues, Leaving

"I found those jewels in a ruin in the Unnamed Lake in Jiangzhou City. What happened?"

Ye Fan frowned slightly, "You are not also interested in Xiao Shufei's disappearance, are you?"

"Yes, I am indeed very interested in what happened to Concubine Xiao Shu!"

Yao Yue nodded slightly, "Although I don't know Concubine Xiao Shufei!"

"Don't know? What the hell?"

Ye Fan was quite puzzled, "The jewelry you are holding... that style seems to be owned by Concubine Xiao Shu... Concubine Xiao Shu's father, Xiao Yuanshan, also specifically inquired about it before..."

"I really don't know Concubine Xiao Shufei. The reason I'm interested in her disappearance is because one of the people who disappeared with her was an elder of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace!"

Having said that, Yao Yue put several pieces of gold and silver jewelry in her hand into the Naxuan ring, leaving only two gold-inlaid jade pendants.

"Whoa!"

Yao Yue threw two gold-inlaid jades at Ye Fan, and then said, "The two jade pendants you pawned are very special. Even in the hot summer, the jade pendants are cool, and in the cold winter, the jade pendants are warm as spring. This magical jade pendant is made of Tianshan Snow Jade, which is unique to Frozen Cloud Palace... The one in your hand is owned by the elder of Frozen Cloud Palace who disappeared with Concubine Xiao Shufei!"

"For more than 20 years, Frozen Cloud Palace has never stopped investigating secretly, but we couldn't find any clues... until you, Ye Fan, pawned the jade pendant made of Tianshan Snow Jade..."

After a pause, Yao Yue continued, "As for the other jade pendant... that is, the one in your hand that is slightly larger and has several small gaps... it was owned by another missing elder of the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace hundreds of years ago..."

"I go!"

Hearing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but be stunned, "Yao Yue... This jade pendant was picked up by Xiao Douya and I by chance on the mudflats of Weiming Lake... I really didn't know there was such a story behind it, I just thought it was a valuable piece of jewelry..."

"Ye Fan, I know you have things you want to do, and I won't ask you to take me to the place where these two Tianshan Snow Jade Pendants were found right now!"

At this time, Yao Yue spoke again.

"These two jade pendants are so important to you...don't you want to investigate immediately?"

Ye Fan was somewhat puzzled by Yao Yue's words.

"Of course I do!"

Yao Yue took a deep breath, "But I need to report this to the Palace Master first... More than 20 years ago in Qinhuai City, the disappearance of the elder of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace was very strange... All the clues we found pointed to Liu Ran as the culprit, but the Palace Master said that it was impossible for Liu Ran to do it..."

"Now there are new clues, and the new clues are related to the disappearance of another elder of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace hundreds of years ago. The things involved behind this are beyond my previous expectations. I need to make a long-term plan..."

Yao Yue quickly explained to Ye Fan.

"Oh my god...it actually involves Senior Liu Ran..."

Ye Fan scratched his head and looked at Liu Mengying. "When I was in the capital before, I learned from Fan Chensi that the clues of Xiao Shufei's disappearance also pointed to Senior Liu Ran... In fact, the real cause of Xiao Shufei's death was poisoning... But the director of the Imperial Hospital committed suicide in order to keep the truth of Xiao Shufei's poisoning secret..."

"The disappearance of Concubine Xiao Shu is indeed confusing... Ye Fan, I didn't want you to take me to the place where the Tianshan Snow Jade Pendant was found right now. I have another consideration..."

Having said this, Yao Yue turned her head and looked in the direction of Prince Yuanzheng's Palace, "That is the ancient secret realm announced by Ming Dianying... I also need to explore it..."

"Ancient secret realm~"

After Ye Fan took a look at the direction of Prince Yuanzheng's Palace, he quickly turned around, because he was not interested in the ancient secret realm. He was interested in the treasure pointed to by the Dragon Vein Heavenly Book map.

Then, the atmosphere became dull again. Ye Fan and Yao Yue looked at each other, then turned their eyes away. Both of them didn't know what to say...

"Ye Fan... I know you have a lot of doubts in your heart... but I can't give you the answers..."

After a long while, Yao Yue sighed slightly and slowly said, "To be honest, I don't know much about it myself... I went to Yuanzheng Palace to look for the Feather Clan... I only know that it was the Palace Master's idea... I also heard the name Luo Xi for the first time last night..."

At the end, Yao Yue's expression became serious, "Ye Fan, I hope you don't tell anyone about Luo Xi and the Yu Clan...especially to the Mingyuan Royal Family!"

"okay!"

Ye Fan nodded seriously and agreed.

"It's getting late, you should go to bed early!"

After saying that, Yao Yue slipped away.

..........

At noon the next day,

In the courtyard of the inn where a lot of firewood was piled up, Ye Fan had just finished practicing the mysterious movements in the Tianyuan Fragments. Just like before, the mysterious energy he cultivated was completely absorbed by his body...

"This injury... and the incident in the capital..."

Sensing the condition of his body, Ye Fan frowned slightly, "I am injured... It seems that I was not injured by the enemy, but by my own profound energy..."

"Big brother, I'm back!"

At this time, a crisp voice came into Ye Fan's ears, and then a slim figure appeared in the courtyard. It was Liu Mengying who was carrying a lot of bags.

Soon, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying came to the living room.

"Brother, come here. I packed a lot of delicious food and put them in the Naxuan Ring that can keep warm!"

As she spoke, light continued to flicker on Liu Mengying's hands, and the round table in the living room was filled with dishes, and the aroma filled the air.

"This Naxuan ring that can keep warm is great..."

Ye Fan muttered something, then sat down and started to eat heartily.

..........

After a hearty meal, Liu Mengying was concentrating on studying a Naxuan ring. Ever since she successfully made a Naxuan ring with heat preservation effect according to the method recorded on the small stone inside the hollow stone, she had been thinking about making a Naxuan ring with freezing effect.

With only a trace of strange mysterious energy left in his body, Ye Fan, who was unable to use it, naturally could not try to make the Naxuan Ring. He lay on the rattan chair and quietly looked at the Dragon Vein Heavenly Book map drawn by Liu Mengying in his hand...

"I accidentally got an ice-attributed Xuanqi stone these days... I should be able to make a good frozen Xuanqi ring~"

After a long while, Liu Mengying contentedly put away the unfinished Naxuan Ring in her hand. She turned to look at Ye Fan, "Big Brother, are we leaving? Qinhuai City has gradually restored order since yesterday! Although there are still many people taking advantage of the fire to rob, most of the Xuan practitioners have left Qinhuai City and headed towards the ancient secret realm!"

"Ok!"

Ye Fan nodded slightly, "Let's leave tonight!"

"Okay!~"

...........

The moon and stars are scarce,

Under the night sky, fires were still burning from time to time in Qinhuai City, and the sounds of metal clashing and various screams could be heard from time to time.

After Ye Fan and Liu Mengying arrived at the outskirts of Qinhuai City, they took out the Dragon Vein Heavenly Book map and quickly moved forward in the direction indicated by the light on the map.
