Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

After landing, I looked at him panting, my heart full of suspicion, and asked, "Didn't you say you would fake your death and escape? Why did you rush into the fire yourself?"

He lifted his head, and on that childish face was revealed a determination unbefitting his age. He said softly, "Because this face prevents me from doing what I truly want to do. So, I have decided to destroy it."

Hearing him speak like this, my heart tightened. It was hard to imagine why a seven- or eight-year-old child would have such deep thoughts and helplessness.

Looking at his determined expression, I only felt a stab of pain in my heart, and couldn't help but feel even more pity for him.

So, I silently took out the human skin mask I carried with me from my sleeve. This mask was originally in the likeness of a middle-aged man, but at this moment, I altered the human skin mask into a young man's appearance and handed it to him without hesitation.

At that time, there was actually some hesitation in my heart. After all, for him, this thing might indeed not be very suitable for his age.

But then I thought again: when he grows a bit older, there will definitely be many things he needs to do. At that time, having such a convenient thing might be of great help to him.

So, I still decided to give the human skin mask to him. When he took the mask, I could feel his hand trembling slightly, as if he was full of curiosity and anticipation for this thing.

I smiled at him and said, "This is for you. I hope it can come in handy when you need it."

Then, I took out two bottles of replenishing fluid and handed them to him, telling him they were for matching use and could help him extend the mask's usage time.

He carefully took the replenishing fluid, thanked me, and then said very seriously, "Uncle Bai, rest assured. I will definitely become very powerful! When I have the ability, I will definitely repay you!"

Looking at his childish yet determined face, I couldn't help but smile, only treating it as a joke, and didn't really expect him to repay me anything. After all, I helped him not to get any reward.

At this time, Qianqian, who had been listening at the side, finally couldn't help but ask, "Then Grandpa Bai, do you know his identity? Could he be a Prince of Xishang Kingdom?"

I shook my head and replied, "I'm not very clear about this. He never mentioned his identity to me."

Qianqian seemed unsatisfied with this answer and continued to press, "Then Grandpa Bai, you should at least know what his name is, right?"

I thought for a moment and said, "He said his name is Yu'er. I've always called him that. As for his full name, I'm not very clear either.

He always calls me Uncle Bai. Neither of us knows the other's name."

Qianqian nodded slightly, indicating she understood. In her heart, she secretly thought, "As expected, Wangchen should be someone from Xishang Kingdom."

In this way, Qianqian knew where to go look for him. Bai Yu saw this and carefully handed two items to Qianqian, solemnly instructing, "Regarding the matter of the Spirit Spring, remember you must absolutely not speak of it to others. This is of utmost importance."

Qianqian knew this matter was of great significance and hurriedly agreed, promising to keep her mouth shut tight.

When the two stepped out of the room together, they saw Yan Jie and Bai Yunzheng already waiting outside the door.

Qianqian fixed her gaze and first smiled in greeting to Bai Yunzheng, then turned her eyes to Yan Jie and said softly, "Younger brother, you study medicine here with peace of mind. I still have important matters to attend to, so I'll go on ahead."

Yan Jie's face was full of reluctance. He tightly grabbed Qianqian's sleeve and pleaded, "Sister, you must return early! Once I've learned everything, I'll bring Grandfather home together. You must come back early!"

Although Qianqian also felt some reluctance in her heart, she still comforted him, "Rest assured. Once I finish my business, I will return as quickly as possible."

After speaking, she lightly patted Yan Jie's hand to soothe him. Seeing Qianqian say this, Yan Jie could no longer insist on keeping her and could only nod silently.

Qianqian took one last look around at everyone, then resolutely mounted her horse, whipped it, and left without looking back.

Originally, Qianqian only had some slight suspicions about Wangchen's identity, thinking he might be from Xishang Kingdom, which was why she planned to go to Xishang Kingdom to investigate thoroughly.

However, after hearing what Bai Yu said, the doubts in her heart almost vanished like smoke, and she could basically determine that Wangchen was from Xishang Kingdom.

With such a clear goal, Qianqian no longer hesitated and resolutely set foot on the road to Xishang Kingdom. Along this way, she rushed day and night for several days straight, her body gradually feeling extremely exhausted.

However, when she saw from afar that the magnificent city of Xishang Kingdom was not far ahead, a surge of indescribable excitement welled up in her heart.

She decided not to continue rushing in the afternoon, but to rest for a while at a nearby inn, letting her exhausted body fully recover.

Qianqian acted on her words. Upon reaching the inn, she threw herself onto the bed like a puddle of mud, not wanting to move at all. This sleep was very deep; she slept until night fell and the lanterns were lit.

When she finally woke leisurely from her sleep, it was already evening. She lazily climbed up from the bed, feeling her stomach growling with hunger, so she got up and ate a sumptuous dinner.

After eating and drinking her fill, Qianqian's spirits recovered considerably. She remembered the purpose of this trip, so she called Shi Er into the room.

Since Shiyi was responsible for all affairs of the Dark Guard Camp, this time Qianqian did not bring him along when she went out, but only brought Shi Er alone.

Qianqian secretly thought that if they encountered danger on the way, having more people would instead be unfavorable for escape. And Shi Er, as her personal guard, was agile and quick to react. With him by her side, her safety should be assured.

It is worth mentioning that Shi Er did not idle during the afternoon when Qianqian rested. He went out alone and specially bought a detailed map of Xishang Kingdom.

When Qianqian called him in, he immediately handed the map to Qianqian.

A hint of pleasant surprise appeared on Qianqian's face. Her eyes widened slightly as she looked at Shi Er before her and said with a smile, "Shi Er, you really understand me too well! I was just wondering about asking you to inquire about Xishang Kingdom's situation, but I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful and directly bring me the map."
