Chen Yue valued potions the most now. She knew that only potions could make Xiao Jing fall in love with her. As for the two children, she did not care at all, as long as Devon, who could concoct potions, was still around.
Devon remembered that Lily had already returned to Cheng Xi’s side. He said to Chen Yue, “I don’t have time to do this now.”
Chen Yue sneered. “Do you think that you don’t need me anymore? Do you have money to eat and drink?”
Hearing this, Devon became stunned. He really didn’t have much money now. He still had to avoid the search of the Gu family. He really needed Chen Yue, his big financial backer.
Thinking of this, he squeezed out a smile and said, “I’ll start refining the potion now. I’ll definitely give it to you soon.”
Hearing Devon’s respectful words, Chen Yue mocked him, “A dog will only become obedient after being trained.”
After Chen Yue put on heavy makeup and continued to the bar, Devon asked Mao Feng, “Why don’t you just use the Truth Curse to make her say where the money is? Why do you have to listen to her?”
“If I could do that, I would have done it a long time ago.” Mao Feng looked at him as if he was looking at a fool. “If she goes crazy, no one can stop her. If I curse her with the Truth Curse, she will dare to slit her throat with a knife. When she dies, I won’t know where the money is.”
After listening, Devon understood that Mao Feng had it tough. They really couldn’t do anything about lunatics who didn’t take their lives seriously.
He said hatefully, “If Lily hadn’t run away, I would have let Cheng Xi come back now. It’s all Gu Yun’s fault for running away. It’s not like we were going to attack them.”
Mao Feng also said, “Now, the Gu family doesn’t have any scruples. They will definitely search and arrest us.”
At the mention of this, the two people started to worry. They had seen the power of the Gu family before. They knew each other in the government.
Additionally, the other two aristocratic families would help the Gu family.
Mao Feng did not dare to tell Devon that his cultivation had been sucked away. The two of them had always been using each other. Once Devon found out that his cultivation was not much left, he would definitely suppress him and bully him. If he went a little overboard, he would kick him out of the group and let him wander in the capital to fend for himself.
Therefore, Mao Feng could only try his best to hide this matter and think of a way to recover his cultivation. Only then would he have the capital to cooperate with Devon.
The two of them made a nest under the bridge cave as a temporary residence. Any tramps who wanted to snatch territory were beaten out by them. Wizards were stronger than normal people even without using spells. The tramps could not defeat these two at all.
Mao Feng and Devon sighed and lay down. The Gu family’s mansion had already begun to search through the entire imperial capital. The Gu family’s eight sons were responsible for the regions of the capital. They had to find Mao Feng and Devon.
The two children were able to return safely because of their bravery.
Otherwise, there would definitely be consequences that they could not bear.
Lily quickly recovered. Cheng Xi stayed by her side every day. As long as she could not see her, she would look around anxiously. Lily also knew that this matter had frightened her mother, so she stayed by Cheng Xi’s side every day.
Yunbao, on the other hand, began to recuperate. A large amount of energy filled her body and was immediately transmitted to others. This was a very exhausting thing for her body. In addition, the awakening of her ancestor’s inheritance would bring about fatigue.
Yunbao, who had always been in good health, became sickly. She even stopped eating the cupcakes she liked. She lay on the bed and was not interested in anything. Gu Teng was very anxious.
Xiao Jing could only comfort his wife. “Yunbao will be fine as long as she rests more. I’ll make more delicious food for Yunbao now.”
Gu Teng couldn’t listen at all. “It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t let them play in the courtyard back then, if I had gone to the courtyard to accompany them, this wouldn’t have happened.”
Xiao Jing shook his head and said, “How can you be blamed? It’s Mao Feng who has ulterior motives and wants to attack Yunbao. It’s useless even if you watch Yunbao every day. Only by getting rid of him can we avoid future troubles.”
“You’re right.” Hatred rose in Gu Teng’s heart. “We have to get rid of any future trouble.”
At this moment, Rong Xuan pushed the door open and entered. Not long after he returned to the Rong family, he came to visit Sister Yunbao.
He walked in with a plate of very beautiful cake and said, “Auntie, I’m here to see Yunbao.”
Gu Teng knew Rong Xuan’s love for Gu Yun, not to mention that he was risking his life to share Yunbao’s energy. He smiled and said, “Yunbao isn’t very comfortable now. You can accompany her and talk..”
