Chapter 1117 “Bandit Di Cang (7)”

“Here, eat this,” he takes out a bottle and hands it to Dragony.

“What is this?” the little missy asks.

“This is a medicine that can mask your scent and aura. I took it from Mother awhile back. When I was at the Holy Land I would often go out with Sister Yi Yi to do bad things so this medicine was essential for us.” Unlike all the other Dan pills in his possession, Bai Xiachen could only recognize this one because of the frequent use.

After taking the pill, both kids made sure to stay still while huddling inside the bushes as they hid. Thankfully their bodies are so small, thus allowing the leaves to cover their bodies very well and giving them ample opening to see Fourth Elder speeding right past their spot.

“How strange,” the senior eventually came to a halt after noticing something was wrong, “I clearly followed His Highness’s scent, why did it suddenly disappear after I’ve come this far?”

After a thought, he didn’t hesitate and continued to chase. In Fourth Elder’s mind, he only needs to continue the pursuit and he would find the prince.

Seeing the figure disappear from his view, Bai Xiachen became relieved and jumped out of the bushes. “Let’s go Dragony, he’s gone now. We will take another road to avoid him.”

However, right as the boy’s about to leave with the little missy, he stopped again and turned around to rummage through his storage bag for some ink and pen.

“I need to leave a message for Fourth Elder lest he continue to search for me. I can’t have others getting into danger because of us.”

Finding a large tree nearby, he scribbles something along the trunk so there’s no chance for others to miss it.

“Okay Dragony, let’s go.” He claps his hand with satisfaction and stored the items away.

Perhaps it’s because of how long he’s been searching and getting no result that Fourth Elder decides to turn back.

“Where in tarnation did His Highness go?”

Suddenly, his eyes widened in shock after seeing the lines of writing on the tree.

“Fourth Elder, help me apologize to Auntie please, I didn’t have any other way. Also, I must go find Mother so don’t look for me and Dragony, we will return with Mother once we find her.”

Towards this message, Fourth Elder could only get a bittersweet flavor in his mouth: “It seems that the prince must go to the queen, even if we manage to bring him back, he will still leave again.” Making a long sigh, he didn’t continue his fruitless chase anymore and turned for the palace.

……

“How did it go?” Di Xiao Wan was anxiously waiting at the palace gate when she saw the man’s return. It’s just that the initial happiness on her face had faded away when finding the elder didn’t bring the kids back as she expected.

“You didn’t find Xiachen?” The princess asks with pursed lips.

Fourth Elder nods slowly: “His Highness was too cunning and escaped my pursuit. He left a message for you and that he’s sorry, but he will go search for the queen regardless of what we do….”

Freezing up in her posture: “But the Celestial Realm is too dangerous….”
