Believing in her, they went out of the city. Even Xue Yin Shu, who was busy everyday, couldn't help but follow him out of curiosity, wanting to see what Tang Zi Qi wanted to do.

Outside the city, there were less trees compared to the Feather city. Tang Zi Qi's line of sight wandered around the vast blue sky. Suddenly, she jumped and a silver light shot out from her sleeves towards the sky. Xue Yin Shu saw what she had done and could not help but exclaim: "You …"

A passing bird landed, and Tang Zi Qi quickly caught it. When she opened her palm, she found a Silvertail Sparrow struggling within.

"Don't worry, my arrow only disturbed its tail feathers and air flow, which is why it fell. I didn't hurt it at all. " Tang Zi Qi explained, "The growth of a Silvertail Sparrow depends especially on its parents. In addition to bringing food back to the adult bird, it also needs to stroke the young bird with its wings every day. If it does not do so, the young bird's feathers will not grow back, and its body will decline, let alone grow up. "

"Sure," Bi Wen Xuan said in surprise. "It's really expensive."

They put the bird in a basket and covered it with a basket made of rattan. The Silvertail swooped for a moment, saw the baby birds in their nest, and landed beside them, enclosing them in its wings. With the accompanying of the adult bird, the three hatchlings seemed to have come to life as they chirped.

"A Zhi and her are really on good terms." Seeing the two girls face to face, beaming at the birds in the basket, Bi Wen Xuan seemed to sigh with emotion, "Other than me, A Zhi has never treated others so intimately before."

Xue Yin Shu did not answer, only smiling. He still remembered that nine years ago, the eleven year old Bi Wen Xuan had returned from a long journey and brought back A Zhi. She looked like a six or seven year old girl. Her black eyes were wide open, and she was as alert as a small beast. As to where he had met or found her, Bi Wen Xuan would always be vague about it. Even his relationship with Xue Yin Shu was not clear about this.

Bi Wen Xuan lightly coughed, and asked with concern: "Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"

Bi Wen Xuan laughed bitterly. A body like his would only be able to stand for a short period of time under the sun before he was unable to hold on for much longer. So they walked away a few paces and sat down in the shade of a tree. Bi Wen Xuan asked casually: "Have you found any clues about that person?"

"Did you know that there is a type of animal called the North River Mouse in Yuezhou?"

"I don't know …"

"It's a type of rat with very fast speed and sharp teeth. They are small and nimble, and can sneak into many hidden places. He Luo could make it into a mousse and control its actions. During battle, this thing will sometimes be used to bite and destroy the vital parts of the enemy's wind blades … "

"Alright, alright, I don't want to study He Luo's tricks, just tell me the result."

Xue Yin Shu's eyes flashed as he looked into the distance: "Near the frost wood garden, the corpse of the North River Mouse was found. Furthermore, the Arcanist who was inspecting it said that the remaining threads of the apotheosis's consciousness was most likely from a charm. "

Although the charm was no longer a mystery, there were not many of them. In that case, the directions were clear. Bi Wen Xuan looked at Tang Zi Qi with a serious expression for a moment, then recovered his usual laziness. As A Zhi happily ran over with the bird nest, he followed behind her. A Zhi showed it to him: "The little bird is laughing!"

Bi Wen Xuan lovingly touched her hair. We'll have to stay with the little bird until it sprouts its feathers. Should we take it home with us? "

"That won't do." Tang Zi Qi laughed and said, "It also has its own home and children, if we borrow it, we'll have to put it back."

"What about the next few days?" Even Xue Yin Shu could not help but ask.

"Every day, I 'borrow' a Silvertail Sparrow until these birds grow up."

"This... I want to see who can do the job. " Bi Wen Xuan looked at Wen Jiu, and Wen Jiu immediately waved his hands, saying, "Gongzi, don't look at me. You have to catch the bird, and not injure it, I won't do this."

"You idiot, do you not know how to use the internet?"

"I'm really worried about others doing it." Tang Zi Qi looked at A Zhi and laughed, "A Zhi, sister brings you here every day to bring big birds to take care of little birds, okay?"

A Zhi nodded heavily.

As expected, Tang Zi Qi had been going to the Bi Mansion every day ever since that day. Together with A Zhi, he brought the baby bird out and "kidnapped" an adult Silvertail Bird to be its temporary parents.

Other than leaving the palace because of the matter with A Zhi, the rest of her time was spent in the frost wood garden.

That night, just as she was about to sleep, she suddenly heard a sound coming from the top of the tree.

frost wood garden was located at a relatively low position. Although the Frost Yong Mu was also a gigantic tree that reached the sky, it was still small compared to the ancient tree in the middle that could support a towering Miyagi in the air. If he jumped down from Chong Ming Pavilion, which was a third of the way down, he would easily land on the top of the forest and the treetop.

She wasn't sure who that person was. However, from the faint sounds of footsteps on the treetop, she could tell that it was a human. The difference in weight between the two races caused the difference in the sound of their movements on the leaves, which could not be covered up. Human beings could not fly like the Feather, but could instead go straight to the treetops.

The frost wood garden was not a heavily guarded place. Although this kind of garden in the Miyagi was not free to come and go, it was not difficult to use some methods to travel here. Why did she have to go through so much trouble to walk on the path of the Chong Ming Pavilion?

She quietly got up, put away the arrow and the dagger, and lightly jumped out of the tree house.

Within this dense forest, the leaves had always covered the sky and blotted out the sun, and the surroundings were dark and gloomy. Even though it was the night of the bright moon, even a tiny bit of moonlight could not break through the ink-like darkness that surrounded them.

The voice from above came and went, and she followed it for a short distance, but it seemed to have stopped. This place was close to the center of the Frost Wood Forest, and a huge everwood stood there. It was much taller than the other trees here, over a hundred feet tall. She was thinking about what she should do next when she suddenly turned around.

Nothing had happened, but she felt a chill invade her back. Because … Light!

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a tree house.

There were only two treehouses in the forest. One was hers, and at the side of the nursery, there was the Feather that was watching the forest, his window was currently glowing faintly.

He had always slept early, and his eyes were blurred with age. She had never seen him light a lamp in the middle of the night. There was no reason for him to light a lamp in the middle of the night.

After all the thoughts in her mind had passed, she decided to go over there and take a look first.

She looked around warily and carefully stepped on the branches along the trunk. Vines dangled from the door of the tree house, swaying in the wind.

She slowly walked to the tree base. After hesitating for a moment, she finally pushed open the door and entered. The small house that could be seen with a glance was empty; there was only an empty bed. Although she was not surprised by the situation, she was still more worried.

Old Yu Ren's hearing and judgement were both poor, and his legs and feet were not agile either. If he encountered an accident, he would definitely not be able to handle it. She didn't even know his name, but after spending so much time with him, she didn't want him to suffer.

She was about to leave when she felt something behind the door. She pulled out her dagger and gradually drew closer. Just as she was about to attack, the door suddenly closed. The figure of the person hiding behind the door emerged. Before she could see clearly, her arm had been grabbed and she was about to break free. The man said in a low voice: "Tang Zi Qi, it's me!"

The person in front of him was Xue Yin Shu. Tonight, he wore a dark green uniform. His light brown eyes reflected the light within the room, and they glittered brightly. She was surprised for a moment but immediately calmed down. She whispered: "What are you doing here?"

"Catch the thief." he answered casually.

"There is a thief in the palace, but Yu Lin Wei does not care, and he still wants the Crown Prince to personally step in?"

He gestured. She also knew that this was not the time to be jostling, so she immediately went silent and listened attentively. A faint sound came from the top of the tree, but it was no longer a sound but a weak vibration. However, those with even the slightest bit of experience could sense that there were people fighting. Although there was not the sound of clashing, a battle was taking place on the stage.

The countless branches and leaves that flourished with the evergreens were like a canopy that separated the upper and lower worlds. They did not know what was happening on top of it.
