By the time Li Yuxuan sent Murong Ling back to Maple Feather Pavilion, the moon was already shining in the sky. The two of them sighed at the door for a while before Murong Ling entered. Li Yuxuan looked at the disappearing figure and slowly felt content in his heart. He had never thought that he would be like a young boy who was at a loss when facing the person he loved. He had already missed her after they had just separated. It was really funny. He smiled in his heart and sighed lightly. He looked at Maple Feather Pavilion in a daze before leaving.
Not long after Murong Ling returned to her room, she suddenly heard a commotion outside. It seemed to be Anu's voice.
Without thinking, Murong Ling rushed outside. When she walked in, everyone had already appeared.
"Anu, what's wrong?" Shangguan Ruoyu also heard Anu's scream and thought that something had happened to him. She hurried out and saw that he was not injured, so she was relieved.
"I…I found Brother Qingyuan.”Anu panted, indicating that he had run all the way back. His face was filled with excitement.
"It's true." Shangguan Ruoyu smiled when she heard that.
"Yes, but that place is heavily guarded, so I thought about coming back to inform you guys and then go save Brother Qingyuan together.”
"Alright, let's go." Shangguan Ruoyu said and hurried out.
"Hold on, Miss Lin. We need to think about this carefully before we can save Young Master Yue.”Shang Feng stopped Shangguan Ruoyu.
"Yes, that iron masked man's martial arts are not bad. I don't know what the Moon Leaving Sect is planning to do to abduct Yue Qingyuan. Furthermore, looking at the situation, Yue Qingyuan's life was not in danger for the time being.”Nangong Luo Bing analyzed.
Although Shangguan Ruoyu was anxious, what they said made sense, so she calmed down and listened to them.
"Anu, where did you find Brother Qingyuan?”Shangguan Ruoyu asked Anu.
"That day, I followed the red dress of the Full Fragrance Brothel, but halfway through, I was left behind by the red dress. I could only wait for another opportunity. After that, I returned to that place and searched a few times before finding a trace. Later, I went to a cliff and found a cave halfway up the mountain. I vaguely saw an iron-masked man guarding there. I guessed that Brother Qingyuan must be imprisoned there. Otherwise, how could we not find Brother Qingyuan even after flipping the capital over?”Anu said.
After listening to Anu's words, the few of them fell into deep thought. They all felt that there must be something hidden in that cave.
"Why did the Moon Leaving Sect capture Yue Qingyuan?”Nangong Luo Bing frowned, her eyes filled with doubt.
Logically speaking, Yue Qingyuan and the Moon Leaving Sect had never crossed paths. If there was a fight, it would be that Yue Qingyuan had helped Shang Yu investigate the Full Fragrance Brothel. However, this did not make sense at all.
"I know, it was Ge Shuyi who warned me.”Shangguan Ruoyu closed her eyes and said softly.
Everyone looked at her in confusion, not knowing why she said that.
"Because of me, Li Xi has always been in conflict with Ge Shuyi. Ge Shuyi must be unhappy with me and captured Brother Qingyuan to give me a warning. Perhaps, he will wait for Ethereal Peak to threaten me with Brother Qingyuan and make me give up the competition.”Shangguan Ruoyu did not think so much at first, but the more she spoke, the deeper she thought.
"Then we must save Young Master Yue.”Worry appeared on Shang Feng's steady face. The candidates who went to Misty Peak were already disadvantageous to Maple Feather Pavilion. Shangguan Ruoyu and Nangong Luobing could only be considered as people of Maple Feather Pavilion.
"Yes, let's go immediately." Shangguan Ruoyu stood up.
"I'll go too." Shang Yu stood up." Brother Qingyuan was captured by the man in the iron mask because of me. Of course I have to go."”
"Brother Yu, this trip will be extremely dangerous. Brother Qingyuan followed me to the Central Plains. I will definitely save him, even if it means losing my life. But I absolutely can't let big brother Yu go. Now that big brother Feng is already…how can I let you go and take risks?”Shangguan Ruoyu said.
" I..." Shang Yu wanted to say more, but he was interrupted by Nangong Luobing.
"I'll go. There's someone using medicine at the Moon Gate. I'll go just in case.”
" Young Miss, you…" Nangong Wan 'er was a little worried. This trip was going to be extremely dangerous. If Young Miss was injured, how could she face everyone in Pure Ice Valley?
Nangong Luo Bing raised her hand and stopped Nangong Wan 'er. Nangong Wan 'er knew that she couldn't stop him, so she spoke. "Then Wan 'er will go too."
"Just take good care of Shang Feng.”
Although Nangong Wan 'er was worried, she could only listen to Nangong Luo Bing and nod.
Shangguan Ruoyu knew that there was no harm in Nangong Luobing going, so she agreed. Just like that, Shangguan Ruoyu, Nangong Luobing, and Anu went to the cliff in the middle of the night.
What made everyone feel strange was that Murong Ling didn't shout that she wanted to go this time. She just stood quietly at the side and didn't say anything.
Murong Ling stood at the side. She knew that she couldn't help, lest she cause trouble for them. She could only stay here and think of a way. She had to find Zhang Xingyan to help Sister Yu. At the thought of this, she hurriedly ran out, causing everyone to be puzzled.
"I'll go and see her. Father, if Xiao Yu and the others aren't back by tomorrow morning, you'll bring the people from Maple Feather Pavilion to look for them.”Shang Yu chased after Murong Ling.
Shang Feng and Nangong Wan 'er looked at each other with worry on their faces. This night would definitely be extremely dangerous.
Few people could catch up to Murong Ling with her lightness skill. By the time Shang Yu came out, she had already disappeared. Shang Feng pondered for a moment and thought that Murong Ling might have gone to look for Li Yuxuan, so he flew towards the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
However, when they arrived at the Seventh Prince's Mansion, they realized that Murong Ling had not come. Shang Yu told them the whole story. After hearing this, Li Yuxuan already had some thoughts in his mind. He had already guessed Murong Ling's whereabouts.
"She might have gone to the Prime Minister's Estate. There's no need to rush.”Li Yuxuan's voice was silent. He had always been indifferent to others, but this made Shang Yu a little puzzled.
"Pardon me for asking, but Seventh Prince doesn't seem to be worried about Ling 'er.”
"Hehe, with Ling 'er's qinggong, the prime minister's residence won't be able to trap her.”Besides, An was always by her side, so he was not worried.
Shang Yu looked at the confident Li Yuxuan with doting eyes. He understood that the legendary cold-hearted Seventh Prince had really fallen for Murong Ling.
When the two of them arrived at the Prime Minister's Residence, they saw Murong Ling and Zhang Xingyan flying out of the wall.
Murong Ling saw Li Yuxuan at a glance and flew over. Li Yuxuan grabbed her and hugged her in his arms.
"Why are you here?" Murong Ling's voice was filled with surprise.
"Shangyu came to look for me, so I knew you would definitely be here, Xingyan.”Li Yuxuan smiled and glanced at Zhang Xingyan. His face was filled with anxiety.
"Why didn't you tell me about Yue Qingyuan? I'm going to help Little Yu.”Zhang Xingyan's tone was filled with worry.
"I'll go too. Anu will definitely leave a mark on the way.”Murong Ling said loudly.
"Ling 'er, let Xingyan go. We'll wait here. If they don't come back tomorrow, we'll go again.”Li Yuxuan said.
"My father has already made preparations. If we don't see them tomorrow, Maple Feather Pavilion will send someone over.”Shang Yu also said. Although he was also very worried about them, his martial arts were not good enough. He could not cause trouble for them.
"Alright, Big Brother Zhang, you have to be careful.”Murong Ling said softly.
After that, Zhang Xingyan nodded and glanced at Li Yuxuan before flying away.
On the other side, Nangong Luobing and Shangguan Ruoyu followed Anu to the broken cliff.
The cliff was very high and dangerous, and the few of them could not go down at once. They could barely see the cave entrance that Anu had mentioned. Perhaps it was because of the night, they could not see if there was anyone guarding the cave entrance.
"There should be a secret passage that leads there.”Shangguan Ruoyu said softly. Although her voice was soft, the other two could hear her clearly because it was very quiet at night.
Anu walked to the side and squatted on the ground to see if he could find a secret passage. On one side of the cliff was a large bamboo forest. If there was a secret passage leading to the cave, it must be there. Nangong Luo Bing also took out some powder from her sleeve and sprinkled it on the ground near the bamboo forest.
Shangguan Ruoyu looked at Nangong Luobing in confusion. "Luo Bing, this is…"
"This is something I've been working on for the past few days. If there are footprints, there will be a reaction.”Nangong Luobing said with a smile. This was her new medicine. She hadn't tested it yet, so she didn't know if it would work.
Shangguan Ruoyu looked at the white powder that Nangong Luobing had sprinkled. She didn't know if it was useful, but she was very touched. Nangong Luobing had been unfriendly to them from the beginning, but now she was willing to help her without caring about her own safety. This meant that she must have treated him as a true friend, the kind of friend who would disregard her own life.
The night grew darker and darker. It was extremely cold in the middle of winter. Fortunately, the three of them were good at martial arts and had internal energy to keep out the cold. They did not feel cold. The moonlight tonight was also very good, and it was not common. This also saved the three of them a lot of effort in their search. Anu's ears were pressed against the ground, listening carefully for any sounds below. His fingers gently tapped the ground and pinched the soil, wanting to see if there was anything unusual. Unfortunately, it was very ordinary, and there was nothing special.
Nangong Luobing was the same. The powder on the ground didn't have much of a reaction.
