The carriage with a familiar aura approached finally came to the street where Ye Tian Yun and his party were hiding.
Ye Tian Yun had already identified the person driving the carriage.
The only reason why he hadn't come out yet was that he wanted to confirm if there was an enemy hidden in the carriage or nearby the carriage.
'He brought the carriage in the ruined city… impressive.'
Ye Tian Yun smiled.
The person as the subject was indeed Fu Kai.
Fu Kai had brought the carriage in the ruined city!
After observing and assessing that there was no one aside from Fu Kai and Wu Qinqwu in and around the carriage, Ye Tian Yun signaled Yuan Shuchun and Xiao Ming to move.
Fu Kai, who was looking and observing every corner of the street, afraid that he might miss the dead bodies of his allies, suddenly noticed a movement from a destroyed tavern in front of him.
He immediately went on guard.
Suddenly he saw people coming out of the tavern.
There were four of them!
Seeing them, a smile formed on Fu Kai's face, and he whipped the Ferghana horses to get closer to them.
"Ah, I thought you guys were really dead!" Fu Kai smiled as he got down from the carriage.
Ye Tian Yun rolled his eyes, "That's a nice way to greet. How have you been?"
Fu Kai let out a relieved sigh, "Luckily, I got out of the range in time and escaped unscathed. What about you guys? Oh my, is that Jun Xie? What happened to him? Is he alright?"
Fu Kai came closer to Xiao Ming and began to assess Jun Xie's condition. His expression was full of concern and worry.
Xiao Ming saw the chance and put down the burden on the ground and stretched his stiff arms.
Yuan Shuchun gave him a disdainful look which clearly said, 'Can't even carry this much of a wait? And you call yourself a genius?'
Xiao Ming ignored her taunt and asked Fu Kai, "Should we head back now?"
Fu Kai nodded, "Let's head back. The mission failed. Those bastards killed their own princess."
Xiao Ming nodded.
They remembered the scene when Peak Master Duan slashed the enemy's carriage; they had found the corpse of the poisoned princess.
Fu Kai remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly, his face lit up as he remembered something.
"I have one good news, though," He glanced at Ye Tian Yun with a proud smile on his face, "I was able to bring your Sister-in-law safely out of the city. But she misunderstood my intentions, so I had to sedate her into a deep sleep for some time. I hope you don't mind, Kai Yang."
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "It's alright, thank you so much, Brother Fu."
Fu Kai smiled, "It was nothing. Your Sister-in-law is my Sister-in-kaw, hahaha."
Behind Fu Kai, both Xiao Ming and Yuan Shuchun were shocked by his words.
'Sister-in-law?'
'Since when did Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun have a Sister-in-law?'
Yuan Shuchun slightly frowned. She had a hunch of what was going on, but she didn't voice out her thoughts.
'Since he didn't tell Fu Kai everything… it's best not to touch the topic.'
Currently, Yuan Shuchun genuinely considered Ye Tian Yun as her ally.
She didn't have any enmity or even anger against him, even though he had almost killed Xiao Ming.
This was mainly because of the relationship between their fathers.
Even though Ye Tian Yun was unaware, Yuan Shuchun knew very well about the relationship between her father and Emperor Ye.
And ever since she was little, her father had told her that Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun was her brother, and she can always trust him.
'Let's see if my guess is true.'
With this thought, Yuan Shuchun said, "Let's not waste any more time and get out of this city before more people arrive."
Xiao Ming nodded and picking up Jun Xie. He followed Yuan Shuchun towards the carriage.
AS soon as Yuan Shuchun opened the gate, she was surprised to find an unconscious girl within the carriage.
"Is she the Sister-in-law?" Xiao Ming whispered slightly.
Yuan Shuchun asked with a mischievous smile, "Why you ask? Don't tell me you fell for her at first sight too?"
Xiao Ming gulped, "My love, you're the only one in my heart. I don't dare to think of anyone else. I was merely curious."
Yuan SHuchun rolled his eyes at the back of her head and thought, 'You better not think of anyone else, hmph!'
As for the girl lying in the carriage, it only took a careful glance, and Yuan Shuchun was able to see that this girl was in disguise.
'So this is indeed Wu Qingwu….'
Yuan Shuchun turned her head and found Ye Tian Yun staring at her.
She gave a slight smile to him and got on the carriage.
Behind her, Xiao Ming put (read: threw) Jun Xie in the carriage and also got on.
Fu Kai also took a seat, and seeing Ye Tian Yun not moving from his place; he asked, "What happened, Kai Yang? Let's go!"
Ye Tian Yun frowned and thought, "We still need to do one thing. You guys go ahead. I will take care of it and catch up to you."
Fu Kai frowned, "What thing?"
Ye Tian Yun jumped on the nearby wall and said, "Zheng Clan. We need to make sure we're done with this place."
Fu Kai nodded, "Yeah, I almost forgot about them. I won't be moving fast, but try to catch up as soon as possible."
Ye Tian Yun lightly nodded and disappeared in the direction of the Zheng Clan.
Seeing him go, Fu Kai took a deep breath and turned the carriage, heading towards the Ao Ba Clan's City gates, as it was the nearest one.
Inside the carriage, Xiao Ming placed Jun Xie and the Sister-in-law at one side of the carriage, then moving closer to Yuan Shuchun, he saw beside her.
Soon he was back to apologizing to her and trying to convince her about the eternal love for her.
