At the Chu Residence.

Tang Jinghong presented Chu Qingzhi with a box exuding the scent of herbs. “Qingzhi, have a look.”

Upon opening the box and discovering its contents, Chu Qingzhi was pleasantly surprised. “This is amazing, you actually found a Snow Lotus.”

Tang Jinghong, slightly regretful, shared, “We mobilized everyone to find it, and we could only find one.”

“One is more than enough,” Chu Qingzhi reassured as she closed the box. “I’ll start making the medicine right away and deliver it to you tomorrow.”

“Thank you for your hard work,” Tang Jinghong expressed his gratitude.

Chu Qingzhi, with a playful twinkle in her eye, teased, “If you feel guilty, how about you cook dinner for me?”

Tang Jinghong agreed without hesitation, “Sure, I’ll cook dinner for you tonight.”

The two of them happily got busy.

Rong Shiyu sneaked out of her house, darting through the streets with cautious steps.

“Air!”

In her attempt to remain unnoticed, she accidentally bumped into someone. To her surprise, it was Bao Linjiang. “Linjiang, what are you doing here?”

“I’m looking for my master. And you?” Bao Linjiang replied.

With a distressed look, Rong Shiyu grabbed Bao Linjiang’s arm and hurried him along. “I’m also looking for your master. Let’s talk while we walk.”

Bao Linjiang, sensing Rong Shiyu’s unusual behavior, asked worriedly, “What’s wrong with you?”

Glancing back nervously, Rong Shiyu then pulled Bao Linjiang to quicken their pace. “I’ll explain after we meet Qingzhi.”

Seeing Rong Shiyu’s urgency, Bao Linjiang had no choice but to match her pace.

“Miss, Miss…” Calls from behind startled Rong Shiyu, prompting her to pull Bao Linjiang into a sprint, eventually ducking into an alley.

The person behind her chased after her relentlessly. “Miss, don’t run anymore. Master is angry.”

Hearing this, Rong Shiyu ran even faster, determined not to be caught and taken back. Meeting Qingzhi and finding a solution was crucial for her today.

“Miss is here.” Skilled martial artists from the Prime Minister’s residence quickly spotted and caught up with them.

Caught in the whirlwind of Rong Shiyu’s escapade, Bao Linjiang, while running, asked in confusion, “Did you sneak out?”

Rong Shiyu, in a moment of desperation, shoved a bamboo pole in the alleyway to the ground, creating a makeshift barrier against their pursuers. Panting, she urged, “Stop asking questions and run! Let’s shake these tails first.”

As their chasers nearly caught up, Bao Linjiang weighed his options quickly, then grasped Rong Shiyu’s hand and with a light leap, they soared onto the rooftops, darting across with remarkable agility.

Rong Shiyu was taken aback by Bao Linjiang’s impressive light-footedness. Glancing sideways at him, she suddenly found his profile strikingly handsome, as if seeing him for the first time.

“Miss, please, no more running…”

As they approached a gap between two houses, Bao Linjiang wrapped his arm around Rong Shiyu’s waist and effortlessly flew across, showcasing his profound strength and exceptional martial arts skills.

After the leap, Rong Shiyu saw Bao Linjiang through a new lens, feeling as though she was truly getting to know him for the first time.

Their pursuers remained relentless, “Miss, please come back with us, or Master will be furious.”

Rong Shiyu shouted back defiantly, “I’m not going back with you!”

Bao Linjiang glanced at Rong Shiyu and suddenly felt that she was a little cute. He took out something from his sleeve and casually threw it behind him. Immediately, a large amount of smoke spread…

With Rong Shiyu in tow, Bao Linjiang descended from the rooftop and weaved through the alleys, successfully losing their trackers.

Catching her breath, Rong Shiyu, now calmer, remarked, “I had no idea your martial arts skills were so advanced?”

Bao Linjiang, modest and focused on his goals, downplayed his abilities, “They’re alright, never really had the chance to use them.”

Rong Shiyu expressed her gratitude, “Thankyou for back there.”

“It’s nothing,” Bao Linjiang assured, looking ahead. “My master’s house is just up ahead. Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

Upon reaching the Chu Residence, they found it quiet, the guards gone, and the main gate closed. Bao Linjiang knocked, and Nanny Han opened the door, welcoming them, “Young Master Linjiang, Miss Rong, please come in.”

Rong Shiyu scanned her surroundings and inquired, “Where’s Qingzhi?”

Nanny Han pointed to the backyard and said, “Fifth Miss is preparing medicine.”

“I’ll go find her,” declared Rong Shiyu, heading towards the backyard.

Bao Linjiang followed, and together they approached Chu Qingzhi’s courtyard.

Standing before the door, Bao Linjiang knocked gently, “Master, may I come in?”
