To disappear without a trace from Feng Qihe's carriage, how profound must this person's cultivation be?
After a moment of fury, the Empress was suddenly plunged into panic.
Had Chu Qianli's martial arts reached such a level?
But, it was impossible.
She had seen her just a few days prior.
Although the girl's cultivation had been improving rapidly recently, the Chu Qianli from a few days ago was still far inferior to Feng Qihe in terms of martial arts.
To have reached such a level of surpassing him in just a few days was absolutely impossible.
"Did you meet anyone else along the way?" the Empress asked.
Feng Qihe could tell that her voice carried a trace of imperceptible unease.
Feng Qihe shook his head. "No. After the battle with Feng Yexuan, your son made no stops midway and did not leave the carriage for even half a step."
Therefore, Chu Qianli had vanished inexplicably.
This was nothing short of an insult to Feng Qihe, who considered himself a supreme master.
With Chu Qianli's abilities alone, it was impossible to achieve this.
What other forces, unknown to them, were supporting this wicked woman from behind?
...
At this moment, Chu Qianli was already at the inn, comfortably eating dinner.
"Uncle Jiu, where have you been having fun these past two days? I couldn't find you no matter how hard I tried when I wanted to."
She glared with some resentment at Feng Dingchu, who was eating elegantly opposite her.
"Did you really look for me?" In fact, he had merely strolled around the imperial city these past two days.
Using the so-called "cosmetics" that Chu Qianli had given him, he had drawn his eyebrows very thickly and dotted a few moles on his face, instantly changing his appearance.
Let alone people he hadn't seen in over a decade, even those who had seen him recently wouldn't know who he was if they passed him on the street.
These cosmetics, bought from her Taobao system, were indeed quite effective.
Chu Qianli gave an embarrassed smile and said, "I didn't look for you because I knew that even if I did, I definitely wouldn't find you."
"Besides, with Uncle Jiu's excellent martial arts, you wouldn't be in any danger when you're out alone, right? If I were to look for you, I might even attract people tracking you, which would be no good for you, wouldn't it?"
Feng Dingchu glanced at her without speaking and continued his meal.
"By the way, Uncle Jiu, how did you train your Qinggong to become so formidable? Feng Qihe's martial arts are not much inferior to Prince Xuan's!"
"You were able to take someone away so silently; even Prince Xuan probably couldn't do that. How did you train this exquisite Qinggong? Teach me quickly!"
"You want to learn?" Feng Dingchu glanced at her indifferently. "If you can wake up every morning at the crack of dawn and accompany me to explore different cliffs in various places, you can train to that level."
"You... have you been to many places? Why would you go exploring cliffs?" She felt that things were not that simple.
Exploring cliffs... No! Was this guy trying to "accidentally" fall off a cliff and die?
Yet, his Qinggong and martial arts kept improving, and his body would instinctively save itself when in danger, making it impossible for him to die!
"You... you really are a weirdo." Perhaps, she should call him a miracle.
Chu Qianli suddenly fell into deep thought.
Feng Dingchu frowned, staring at her small, palm-sized face. "What are you thinking about so seriously?"
Chu Qianli pursed her lips before looking up, meeting his gaze. "Uncle Jiu, can you promise me one thing?"
