BXBX NOVEL Chapter 124 - 124. Night At Lily's Inn
"Gu Yi, call me by that name," he said then.
"Huh? Gu Yi?" asked Fu Xie Lan, somehow she felt familiar with that name. She felt like she had heard it before, but where?
"Hmm," Gu Yi nodded with his chin still resting on the girl\'s shoulder.
"Alright Gu Yi, let go. My body is hot," said Fu Xie Lan. Hearing his name being called by the girl, there was a hint of happiness in Gu Yi\'s heart and it managed to create a faint smile on his lips.
"Are you asking me to help you take off your clothes?" Gu Yi chuckled then.
Fu Xie Lan suddenly stomped hard on the man\'s leg and immediately get out of Gu Yi\'s arms.
"You pervert," said Fu Xie Lan. When she saw the man\'s hand slip from her body, she then immediately entered another room in that room. That is the bathroom. The girl wanted to clean her body and change her clothes which were tainted by the smell of blood.
Seeing Fu Xie Lan, Gu Yi immediately got up, walking towards the window. Created a crow from the life energy (mana) present in his body and sent it away.
A few minutes passed, Fu Xie Lan had finished with her matters. She was feeling very refreshed, her eyes scanned the entire room, her brow furrowed as she couldn\'t find Gu Yi anywhere.
Not wanting to think about him too much, she then decided to leave the room to meet the others. But when she just opened the door, Wan Lie was already there. Standing with his body leaning against the wall facing the girl\'s room door.
"Does Mom need anything?" asked Wan Lie, his head moved to scan around his mother, but couldn\'t find his father anywhere.
"Where are Xue Ning and Huang Bao?"
"What about them, Mom?" asked Wan Li.
"Their stuff is with me. I want to return it," Fu Xie Lan replied.
"Huang Bao returned to the academy and only later that night he returned to visit, while Xue Ning, she was in her room, Mom," replied Wan Li. The man knew that Elder Bao had returned to the academy because he accidentally caught Xue Ning and the old man talking when the door to his room was about to close.
"Mom, let me hand over Xue Ning\'s thing," said Wan Lie.
"Okay thank you."

In a very quiet place, not too far from the lily inn, Gu Yi leaned against a tree trunk looking at his two bodyguards who had just arrived.
Bai Mo and Bai Xue, the two bodyguards gave reports on their duties in turn. From the incident at the phoenyx academy to the discovery of a small village located in the forest behind the phoenyx academy, it seemed that the village had just been abandoned by its inhabitants recently.
"Only that?" Gu Yi\'s cold voice tickled both of their senses, making Bai Mo and Bai Xue reluctant to make any useless moves.
"That\'s right, Your Majesty," the two answered almost simultaneously. The position of the two people was half crouched with their heads bowed right in front of Gu Yi.
"This is the last time I\'ll hear you call me that."
Bai Mo and Bai Xue glanced at each other for a moment. Couldn\'t properly digest the meaning of the Lord\'s words.
"I will return to the palace and take care of some things. Bai Xue, you come with me."
"And Bai Mo, I have another task for you."
The two were again confused, this was the first time they had received assignments separately. Moreover, Lord Gu Yi didn\'t seem to care at all about the confusion of the two guards.
After explaining their task, Lord Gu Yi immediately left with Bai Xue, leaving Bai Mo still rooted to the spot. Confused.

Currently, Fu Xie Lan, Huang Bao, Xue Ning, and Ju Xian were in a special room provided for the guests of the inn to relax. The room has several tables with several chairs that match the size of the table. Several people were also seen in the same room. All of them were guests staying on the second floor.
A wooden box filled with many herbal plants perched on the edge of the round table right beside Huang Bao.
"Xie Lan, where is that man?" asked Xue Ning between their conversation regarding Fu Xie Lan\'s preparations to visit the human race\'s territory.
Those who were spoken to immediately turned to look at Xue Ning. "That Man?"
"Yes, the man who always sticks with you," Xue Ning said, and immediately all eyes turned to her. Previously, Huang Bao wanted to inquire about Gu Yi\'s whereabouts but he didn\'t know what language he thought was suitable for asking his whereabouts.
"You mean Gu Yi?"
"Oh, so his name is Gu Yi? According to his very handsome face," Xue Ning replied.
"He has an urgent business," said Fu Xie Lan immediately. She had to lie about it because if she said that the man had suddenly disappeared and didn\'t know of his whereabouts, people might think that she was just a girl left by a man.
Hearing that, Xue Ning and the others nodded their heads as if Fu Xie Lan\'s words had answered their curiosity.
"Alright, maybe that\'s enough for tonight, these are some of the tools you ordered earlier," said Huang Bao immediately lifting the medium-sized chest and handing it to Fu Xie Lan.
Previously, the girl wanted some tools that she could use to create pills to her liking.
When she was still in Elder Bao\'s residence, the girl accidentally saw several unused pill furnaces lying around. Even though it looked so ancient and much older than the one she often used in her modern organization\'s laboratory, that didn\'t mean she couldn\'t use such an object. While still in the training of prospective researchers carried out by her organization, she and the others were required to be proficient in using any tool to make a potion or pill. Both manual and those that already contain modern elements. It aims to be on guard when they are in an area that has not been touched by modern things.
Using the shell that her teacher gave her, Fu Xie Lan managed to send the message to Huang Bao.
"Thank you, Teacher," Fu Xie Lan replied as she slowly opened the chest.
"I also put some herbs plants in there, you can use them," said Huang Bao, feeling very happy to be able to help his student.
And sure enough, Fu Xie Lan\'s eyes found some herbs next to the brownish pill furnaces. It was not that Fu Xie Lan was not grateful for all of her Master\'s gifts. It\'s just that she doesn\'t understand the function of all the strange plants that the old man considers herbs.
