Leaving the Imperial Capital

Ignoring the question, Xiao Ming slightly curled his fingers, and the Red Flame swirling around his bones began to slowly retreat, the last trace being drawn back into his body.

"Master Xiao Ming, how is he?" Looking at Xiao Ming, who seemed to have stopped expelling the poison, Na Lan Su, who had stepped aside earlier so as not to disturb him, hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Let's end the treatment here for today. At this rate, it will probably take at least seven days to expel the toxins."

Xiao Ming glanced at Na Lan Jie, whose complexion was somewhat better than before, and pondered.

"Thank you very much, Master Xiao Ming. If you ever need anything from the Nalan Family in the future, please don't hesitate to ask!"

Looking at Na Lan Jie's aged face, where much of his dark complexion had faded, the heavy weight that had been pressing on Na Lan Su's heart finally lifted.

Na Lan Jie's importance to the Na Lan Clan is just like Xiao Lin Xiao Family's importance to the Xiao family before. Losing this pillar will not cause the Na Lan Clan to collapse like the Xiao Family and be driven out of the Imperial Capital. However, the gap between them and the other two major families will definitely widen gradually.

"Okay, remember to come over tomorrow. I'll take my leave now." Xiao Ming glanced at the sky outside and turned to Na Lan Jie on the bed.

"Master Xiao Ming, let me see you off!" Upon hearing this, Na Lan Jie quickly and warmly smiled, and then got up.

"Sigh, no need! You've just expelled a lot of toxins, you should rest for a while." With that, Xiao Ming walked out of the house.

"Well... in that case, Su'er, hurry and see Master Xiao Ming off!" Na Lan Jie didn't insist, but instead said to Na Lan Su.

"Oh, okay." Na Lan Su caught up with Xiao Ming upon hearing this.

For the next few days, Na Lan Jie visited the patient daily to treat the Brand Poison.

In a guest room, after his final treatment, Na Lan Jie's complexion had returned to normal, and the dark aura of the past was gone.

After stretching his limbs to confirm that the toxins in his body had disappeared, Na Lan Jie gratefully said to Xiao Ming, "Thank you so much Master Xiao Ming, for your help these past few days!"

"No need to be so polite," Xiao Ming said, waving his hand.

Knock knock knock!

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"What's up?"

"Master Xiao Ming, Princess Yao Ye requests an audience!" came a maid's voice from outside the door.

Xiao Ming frowned upon hearing this. Yaoye had been coming to see him for the past few days, and he wasn't stupid; he naturally understood Yaoye's thoughts.

However, although Yaoye is good-looking, her Cultivation Talent is considered top-notch in the Jia Ma Empire, and she also has strong management skills.

However, Xiao Ming wasn't interested in her, since they had only known each other for a short time.

"Should I confront her about it? Sigh, never mind, I'm leaving the Imperial Capital tomorrow anyway." Xiao Ming shook his head, thinking this.

Seeing Xiao Ming Na Lan Jie stood up and bowed, saying, "Since Princess Yao Ye has come to visit, I won't disturb you any longer. Master Xiao Ming, you must visit the Na Lan Residence when you have time. I'll take my leave now!"

"Okay, take care."

After Na Lan Jie left, Xiao Ming went to the living room.

In the living room, the stunningly beautiful Yaoye sat in a chair, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing Xiao Ming step into the living room, Xiao Ming smiled and went to greet him.

"Master Xiao Ming! My great-grandfather heard that you are a great lover of tea, so he specially sent me to deliver some of the finest tea he had obtained."

"Elder Jia Princess Yao Ye, please have a seat!"

The host and guests sat down and waited for a while. Then, Yaoye seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

"Princess Yao Ye, please speak freely."

"Master Xiao Ming has stayed in the Holy City for so long, I wonder when he will leave?" Yaoye hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Tomorrow," Xiao Ming said with a smile, taking a sip of tea.

"Tomorrow? Wouldn't that be a bit too rushed? I haven't properly shown you hospitality Ye'er I invited you to Imperial Capital. Why don't you stay a few more Ye'er, Master Xiao Ming? I can show you around the Imperial Capital; there are many interesting places Imperial Capital." As she spoke, Yaoye's voice was like a gentle stream, soft and charming, her meaning quite clear.

Looking at Yaoye's fair and jade-like face flushed with a rosy glow, Xiao Ming was about to say something when Zi Yan's shout came from outside.

Soon, a white figure flashed into the living room and pounced on Xiao Ming.

"Xiao Ming, here you go. These are the medicinal herbs I found outside! There are two, one for each of us! Remember to refine mine into a pill."

At this moment, Zi Yan's white clothes were somewhat tattered, clearly indicating that she had been in a battle.

The two medicinal herbs were still covered in dirt, looking like they had just been dug out of the ground not long ago; they must have been stolen from some unfortunate Magical Beast.

Let's observe a moment of silence for that unknown Magical Beast. Xiao Ming took the medicinal herbs from Zi Yan.

At this moment, Zi noticed Yaoye standing to the side, immediately got off Xiao Ming, and said in a pretentious tone, "Oh, it's little Yaoye, you're here again!"

Looking at her, Xiao Ming, who had just put away the medicinal herbs, was speechless. Come to think of it, Zi Yan seemed to particularly like to act like an adult when she spoke.

Zi Yan spoke to her in this tone not long after they met at the Jia Nan Academy.

However, as time went by, Zi Yan gradually transformed into a different person in his eyes.

"So it's Miss Zi Yan. My great-grandfather asked me to deliver tea to Master Xiao Ming."

"Oh, so that's what it is. Xiao Ming does like drinking tea. I don't know what's so good about it; most of it is bitter." Zi Yan nodded knowingly first, then said.

Yaoye simply smiled at these words. For those who don't like tea, tea can indeed be a bit bitter.

Yaoye said softly to Xiao Ming, "Master Xiao Ming, what do you think of my suggestion?"

"Never mind, we'll have time to explore the Imperial Capital later. It's been a while since I left the family; it's time to go back." Xiao Ming stroked Zi Yan's soft hair and smiled.

Upon hearing this, Yaoye's face turned pale. She had made it so obvious just now, almost directly expressing her admiration, but Xiao Ming's reaction remained indifferent.

This made her feel somewhat resentful, as no one had ever rejected her before.

Despite her resentment, looking at Xiao Ming's jade-like profile, she lacked the courage to continue her entreaties.

But the bitterness in her heart was hard to dispel, and her smile became somewhat stiff.

Taking a deep breath, Yaoye stood up, gently biting her red lips, and said, "In that case, Master Xiao Ming, Ye'er time you come to the Holy City, please send someone to inform Ye'er, so I can show you the charm of the Imperial Capital."

"Definitely, definitely."

"It's getting late, Ye'er I'll take my leave now!"

After Yaoye left, Xiao Ming returned to his seat.

"Xiao Ming, are we leaving tomorrow?"

Zi Yan pounced on Xiao Ming again, excitedly asking, "I've been so bored these past few days! Now that Xiao Ming he's leaving, doesn't that mean he can come with me to find medicinal herbs!"

"Yes, get a good night's sleep tonight! Get up early tomorrow."

The next day, Xiao Ming and Zi Yan flew directly from the Imperial Capital to the Northeast Province where the Xiao Family was located.
