After hearing the words of the Little One, the Snow Spirit Elder laughed heartily and said, "Child, don't worry! I have a strong aura of yang energy; even the wandering spirits will step aside when they see me."
Upon hearing the Snow Spirit Elder's words, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but think of teasing him.
So, Luo Bingbing secretly activated her Inner Strength and unleashed her Wind Ability, using a strong gust to push him suddenly from beside him.
The Snow Spirit Elder was pushed by the wind unexpectedly but did not react particularly. However, he felt a slight confusion in his heart.
He brushed it off, thinking he hadn't sat firmly enough, unaware that it was the Little One's deliberate action.
Seeing that he had no significant reaction, Luo Bingbing activated her Inner Strength again and used her Wind Ability to push him from all directions.
The result of this was that just as the Snow Spirit Elder was pushed once and hadn’t stabilized himself, another gust came from another direction, causing him to wobble continuously.
At this point, he became uneasy and couldn't help but think, "Could it be that the child was right? Are there indeed unclean things lurking in this dense forest?"
Meanwhile, Luo Bingbing, who knew the truth, remained completely at ease in her seat with no sign of discomfort on her face, though she was laughing inwardly.
The Nursemaid had already felt suspicious after hearing her Little Princess's words. Now seeing the Snow Spirit Elder's state made her believe that her Little Princess was indeed correct, filling her with fear.
Noticing the cautious expression on the Snow Spirit Elder's face and the fearful look in the Nursemaid's eyes, Luo Bingbing decided to reveal that it was all her doing.
Upon hearing the Little One's explanation, both the Nursemaid and the Snow Spirit Elder couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking to themselves, "This Little One really knows how to scare people!"
However, while the oblivious Nursemaid only had this thought, the Snow Spirit Elder had another one: he wanted to know how this Little One managed to do it without moving at all.
Despite pondering over it without arriving at any conclusion, he wouldn’t ask Luo Bingbing about it.
He knew it would be pointless to ask; that Little One would never tell him the answer. Therefore, he wouldn’t make himself uncomfortable by bringing it up.
The three of them sat in the carriage, chatting idly. When the sun climbed halfway up the mountain, Luo Bingbing finally instructed the Snow Spirit Elder to drive the carriage towards Silver City.
As the carriage slowly emerged from the dense forest, it sped quickly along the Official Road.
Inside the carriage, Luo Bingbing lay diagonally in the Nursemaid's embrace, who was crying bitterly, "Little Princess, please wake up! Don't leave me, okay? Little Princess..."
Although Luo Bingbing had her eyes closed, her heart was as clear as a mirror. She could sense from the Nursemaid's words that she was sincerely acting.
At the same time, she felt the deep warmth in the Nursemaid's voice, a warmth that reminded her once again of her mother's love.
Meanwhile, in Prince Luo's Residence, Lo An Lord and Xuan Ye were also waiting for the return of the Little One, and everything in the palace had already been arranged by them.
Outside the walls of Prince Luo's Residence, a massive crowd had gathered, filled with scholars and students who had come seeking Luo Bingbing's reputation as a Prodigy.
Due to Snow Spirit Elder's fast driving speed, it wasn't long before their carriage returned to Silver City.
When Snow Spirit Elder drove the carriage into view of Prince Luo's Residence, Xuan Ye sensed their return and instructed Lo An Lord and others to prepare to go out.
The scholars and students standing outside the palace saw a very ordinary carriage speeding towards Prince Luo's Residence and began to move aside.
Snow Spirit Elder urged the horses forward rapidly towards Prince Luo's Residence, cracking his whip and shouting, "Make way! Make way! Quickly step aside! The Little Princess is in trouble; lives are at stake!"
Upon hearing him mention the Little Princess, everyone knew that the person they had come to see was returning. However, upon hearing "lives are at stake," some people moved aside willingly while others ignored it and crowded closer.
Yet Snow Spirit Elder did not slow down due to their actions; he maintained his swift speed and discreetly used his internal energy to push away those who couldn't dodge in time.
From the moment the Nursemaid saw the carriage emerge from the forest, she had been crying continuously inside it, her sorrow so profound that no one could tell she was acting.
As the scholars and literati standing outside the royal residence heard the cries and words of the Nursemaid, they all believed that the "Prodigy" was truly in grave danger, with some even shedding tears.
The carriage forcefully charged to the entrance of the royal residence before finally coming to a halt. As soon as it stopped, the surrounding scholars quickly gathered around.
They were all eager to see what the legendary Prodigy looked like. However, there were so many people that Snow Spirit Elder and his companions were soon surrounded tightly.
Just when everyone thought they would finally catch a glimpse of the true face of the legendary Prodigy, a figure dressed in white suddenly descended from the sky.
The White-Clad Elder landed directly beside the carriage and waved his hand, splitting the carriage's roof in two.
He then swiftly leaped into the carriage, and soon after, they heard the voice that had been crying say, "What... what are you going to do?"
After a brief pause, the voice continued, "Quickly return my Little Princess to me..."
Before her words had fully faded, everyone saw the White-Clad Elder swiftly emerge from the carriage, cradling a child who appeared to be about five or six years old.
In just a few blinks, the White-Clad Elder disappeared from sight with the Prodigy in his arms.
Although it was merely a few moments, everyone around knew that the child he held was indeed the legendary Prodigy and also the Little Princess of Prince Luo's Residence.
Moments later, the curtain of the carriage was drawn back, and a middle-aged woman with a large birthmark on her face stepped out.
As soon as she exited the carriage, she shouted, "Come quickly! There are assassins! The Little Princess has been taken..."
Upon hearing her voice, the surrounding scholars realized that it was this middle-aged woman who had been crying inside the carriage.
Suddenly, after being closed for several days, the gates of Prince Luo's Residence swung open, and a group of people rushed out from within, led by Lord Lo An.
Following closely behind him were his strategist and the Poet Sage Li Jingshan, along with the guards from the royal residence.
As Lo An Lord rushed out, he immediately asked the woman in the carriage, "What on earth happened? Weren't you supposed to be out on the lake with the Little Princess? How did it come to this?"
The woman in the carriage quickly jumped down and bowed to Lo An Lord, responding, "My lord, hurry! The Little Princess was just taken away by a White-Clad Elder. You must send someone to chase after them!"
She paused briefly before continuing, "Moreover, the Little Princess accidentally fell into the water while boating and has been unconscious since yesterday!"
Upon hearing her words, Lo An Lord and those behind him immediately dispatched people to pursue the White-Clad Elder, and they themselves swiftly headed in the direction where the Elder had disappeared.
On the surface, they appeared extremely anxious, but who would know that they were merely putting on an act, one that they had orchestrated themselves!
Due to the sudden appearance of the White-Clad Elder, who had abducted the so-called "Prodigy," the legendary figure had suddenly vanished without a trace.
The scholars and literati feared trouble and began to retreat quietly, leaving the walls of Prince Luo's Residence.
Meanwhile, disguised as a Coachman, Snow Spirit Elder took advantage of the chaos to sneak in with Nursemaid into Prince Luo's Residence and made their way back to Piaoyun Pavilion.
After pretending to chase for a while, Lo An Lord, Strategist Gongsun Ming, and Poet Sage Li Jingshan managed to shake off their guards.
Once there were no outsiders around, the three of them quickly ran towards a small courtyard in Silver City. Upon arriving at that courtyard, they found Luo Bingbing and Xuan Ye enjoying tea in the Pavilion.
Thus, they walked over to the Pavilion.
At this moment, there was no trace of tension or urgency on their faces; instead, they all wore broad smiles. Seeing them arrive, Luo Bingbing said, "Alright, since my part is done, I can leave now. The next scenes will be up to you three to perform diligently."
After hearing what this Little One said, they all nodded slightly.
"Don't worry! Father has already made arrangements," Lord Lo An said slowly.
Beside him, Poet Sage Li Jingshan chimed in, "Yes! Master, you can rest assured! We have everything prepared."
After hearing their words, Luo Bingbing nodded slightly and said, "Alright, since that's the case, I will leave Silver City for Spirit Mountain shortly."
After speaking, she looked up at Lord Lo An and continued, "Father, you should hurry back to the royal palace as well! If you disappear for too long, it will raise suspicions."
Upon hearing his beloved daughter's words, Lord Lo An gently nodded and replied, "Yes, we will head back now. You all need to be careful on your journey; don't let anyone discover your identity."
"I understand, Father. We will be cautious. After tomorrow, you should also leave Silver City and return to Yang City to keep an eye on things!"
Once she finished speaking, she turned to Poet Sage Li Jingshan and said, "This farewell may take some time. As your master, I don't have much to give you, so I'll casually share two poems with you!"
Li Jingshan was delighted upon hearing his little master's words and exclaimed, "Great! Thank you so much, Master!"
Thus, Luo Bingbing recited a classic poem from China's five thousand years of literary heritage.
"When will you ask about my return? The night rain in Bashan swells the autumn pond. When shall we cut the candle by the west window together and talk of the Bashan night rain?"
As soon as Luo Bingbing finished reciting, Li Jingshan began showering her with praise until she waved her hand for him to be quiet.
Next, Luo Bingbing recited the second poem. She slowly intoned:
"The sun sets behind the mountains; the Yellow River flows into the sea. To see a thousand miles further, one must ascend another floor."
Once she finished reciting, she addressed her so-called father: "Father, if you encounter any insurmountable problems, just call for me in your heart; I will come to help you."
Before Lord Lo An could respond, she and Xuan Ye swiftly vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The three of them felt both helpless and speechless upon seeing this. After exchanging glances, they quickly left the small courtyard and returned to Prince Luo's Residence to continue their performance.
After Luo Bingbing and Xuan Ye left the small courtyard, they arrived at the Purple Bamboo Forest outside Silver City and Back Mountain.
As soon as they got there, they saw the Snow Spirit Elder, the Snow Spirit Fox, and a Phoenix already waiting for them.
They then walked together to the Official Road below, where a carriage was already waiting for them.
The carriage looked quite ordinary and old on the outside, but inside it was luxurious, lined with high-quality mink fur that was very soft, and the food inside was abundant.
Once the three of them and the two beasts boarded the carriage, Luo Bingbing asked the Snow Spirit Elder to drive, as Xuan Ye was her admired master, so she treated him differently.
The carriage traveled along the Official Road, but after a short while, Luo Bingbing noticed another seemingly ordinary carriage following them discreetly from behind.
Through the curtain of the carriage, Luo Bingbing saw that the driver was a stern-looking man dressed in black. She was certain she had never seen this man before, so they paid no attention to the carriage behind them.
After traveling for some time, they arrived at a small town and stopped to rest in front of an inn.
Coincidentally, the carriage behind them also stopped in front of that inn. A young man dressed in white stepped out of that carriage. Since Luo Bingbing and her companions were the first to disembark from their carriage, they naturally saw this young man in white. The moment Luo Bingbing laid eyes on him, she recognized that this White-Clad Youth was none other than Dongfang Hao, the current emperor of Silver Moon Kingdom.
