The man knew that for Xu Fei Yi—no, for the Moon Emperor, failure was not an option.

The man could not help but internally scream for XuanRong's name, asking for help.

Xu Fei Yi did not say anything. Retracting his gaze, he went forward, leaving the man kneeling. When Xu Fei Yi's shadow could no longer be seen, the man who was kneeling exhaled with great difficulty.

Was he… saved?

The man did not know whether to laugh or to cry.

'Your Ladys.h.i.+p… thank you!!!'

--------

Xu Fei Yi entered the courtyard and saw dead bodies everywhere.

"Your Lords.h.i.+p."

Yue s.h.i.+n, who was wearing a silver mask, went towards Xu Fei Yi and greeted him.

Xu Fei Yi turned his head.

"This slave has already sent some people to chase Chu Ji Qing. When this slave checked the place, this slave did not see any traces of the seventh prince of Jing Country."

Hearing Yue s.h.i.+n's report, Xu Fei Yi's eyes darkened.

He was not sure if Chu Ji Qing was operating alone or if the seventh prince was also aware of his action.

The seventh prince was wounded by him last time but the Jing country's people did not make the issue complicated and has decided not to ask the palace for justice. It would only mean that they were afraid that the government will dig deeper and would even send some escorts and soldiers in order to arrange their safety. How could Chu Ji Qing allow it? It would destroy their plan.

If that was the case, it was plausible that the seventh prince was also aware of Chu Ji Qing and the Jing Emperor's plan since based on his character, he would not let other people take advantage of him.

Carefully processing those thoughts, Xu Fei Yi could attest that it was not as simple as it seemed.

"Your Lords.h.i.+p… This subordinate has found a box filled with unusual things."

One of Xu Fei Yi's subordinate brought a medium size box and presented it in front of Xu Fei Yi.

"Open it." Xu Fei Yi commanded.

The subordinate pulled the lock and opened the box, revealing different things that were very unfamiliar for Xu Fei Yi.

Xu Fei Yi lowered his body and picked one object inside the box and carefully checked it. Using the light coming from the moon, Xu Fei Yi could see that the unusual things did not originate in their continent.

Not caring whether it would be broken or not, Xu Fei Yi threw the object in his hand back to the box.

"Burn all of it."

The subordinate knew how precious those things were since based from their shapes and features, it did not come from the other neighboring countries and were probably brought by travelers and adventures who had sailed in the sea.

Still, without saying anything, the subordinate grabbed a torch and unceremoniously burned all of it.

Looking at those things turning to ashes, Xu Fei Yi's eyes darkened.
