The tone revealed no ripples, yet inexplicably, Hong Yao felt as if she was being looked down upon, and her heart felt heavy.

After all, she was the Vice Palace Master of the Red Moon Palace, a Stage of the Heavenly Realm expert, okay?

“There’s no time to waste. All of you are too weak, so don’t cause more trouble. 1’11 escort you out, and Yuanxi will go blow up the treasure vault.” Gu Xiaonan swept a glance over the women, let out a sigh, and then placed the small white animal in his arms. “Yuanxi, take Xiao Bai with you. I’ll feel more at ease.”

“… Alright.” Feng Yuanxi pursed his lips and smiled.

“Xiao Bai, the responsibility of protecting Yuanxi is on you. Can you complete this mission successfully?” Gu Xiaonan asked with seriousness.

“Squeak squeak!”

Xiao Bai solemnly nodded.

Rest assured, young master! 1 promise to fulfill the mission!

Concerned that prolonging the situation might bring unfavorable consequences, Feng Yuanxi glanced through the gap in the door for a brief moment, confirming the absence of anyone outside, before swiftly taking action.

Gu Xiaonan and the twenty-eight women waited in the side courtyard.

After about half a moment’s time, a deafening explosion shook the northeastern corner of the prince’s residence.

A mushroom cloud shot straight into the sky.

Startled while lying on his bed, receiving treatment from the imperial physician, Qitian Yu jumped up, “What’s happening… Hiss!”

The imperial physician’s hand shook uncontrollably, resulting in a silver needle inadvertently puncturing a pressure point. This caused Qitian Yu to suck in a sharp breath and then angrily shove him away.

“Incompetent physician!”

The fallen imperial physician dared not speak back.

“Your Highness, an explosion occurred in the northeastern corner!” a servant rushed in hastily to report.

Qitian Yu’s eyes widened. “The treasure vault is right there; someone is raiding it! Hurry, quickly gather forces to the treasure vault!”

The servant hurriedly went to relay the order.

Unsettled, Qitian Yu supported his injured body as he got off the bed.

“Your Highness, you shouldn’t move now…” Qitian Yu glared at the other party, eyes reddening. “Get out of my way! If anything happens to the treasures in this prince’s vault, can you bear the consequences?”

The physician who had tried to advise him immediately fell silent, bowing his head and not daring to say another word.

After Qitian Yu left, the remaining physicians exchanged glances.

“Let him be, he can go if he wants to. After all, it’s the prince’s own body. Advising him won’t lead to any benefits, it might even attract some trouble.”

Qitian Yu arrived hastily outside the treasure vault.

Amidst rolling smoke and dust, a scene of ruins was faintly visible.

Exquisite stone carvings and heavy stone doors had all collapsed!

Qitian Yu’s vision blurred for a moment, nearly causing him to faint.

“Your Highness! Your Highness! Are you alright?” A servant quickly supported him, his actions flustered.

Qitian Yu’s trembling finger pointed at the treasure vault. “Go and see if the treasures are still there.”

His voice quivered.

Several guards rushed into the smoke.

After a while, they came out one by one with reports.

“Reporting to Your Highness, the treasure vault is empty.”

Even with mental preparation, Qitian Yu couldn’t accept it. Suppressing his dizziness, he gritted his teeth and roared, “Gu Xiaonan, i’ll slaughter you!”

His eyes swept menacingly over the people in the residence. “Everyone listen, even if we have to dig three feet underground, we must capture that brat for me!”

According to the guards’ reports, the one who had ambushed him was a child. Coupled with the recent report that Gu Xiaonan’s shed, where he was detained, was empty, anyone could deduce that this was all the work of Gu Xiaonan.

It didn’t take much to realize that Gu Xiaonan was behind all of this.

In this critical moment, Qitian Yu didn’t have the luxury of regretting his decision to bring him here. His sole focus was on making sure the other party suffered dearly.

Suddenly, a diminutive figure dashed out from the wreckage.

“There, catch him!”

A vigilant guard spotted and pointed excitedly at the direction the small figure was fleeing.

Qitian Yu quickly looked over, his face immediately contorted with a fierce, predatory expression.. “Chase after him! Whoever captures Gu Xiaonan alive will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!”
