Chapter 66: Kidnapped (2/2)

Lu Xiaoqing was sent into a daze again, and instead of accepting the Earth Star Spring, she said, ”I can't take something this valuable!”

”Stop dilly dallying. Just take it. Otherwise, I will take it as you looking down on me,” Xiang Shaoyun grunted. He added, ”If you refuse, I might as well throw it away. No point keeping it with me.”

”No, don't. Fine, I'll take it,” Lu Xiaoqing said.

”That's more like it,” Xiang Shaoyun said in satisfaction.

Lu Xiaoqing accepted the jade bottle, her heart thumping furiously as she thought to herself, Why is he treating me so nicely? H-has he fallen in love with me?

As Lu Xiaoqing was indulging her thoughts, Little White suddenly meowed, and his fur all stood up on end. He bared his fangs, as if a large enemy was approaching. The moment Xiang Shaoyun noticed Little White's behavior, he started paying attention to his surroundings. He was very clear on the sharp senses demonic beasts had. Little White wouldn't behave like that for no reason. But they were currently within the Martial Hall Palace. What danger could there be?

Whoos.h.!.+

Suddenly, a figure streaked across the air like a phantom. Then, a black sack wrapped around Xiang Shaoyun from above. Even though Xiang Shaoyun was already on alert, he still couldn't react in time and was subdued just like that. Little White was the only one who could react in time. He leaped away and was able to avoid being captured together with Xiang Shaoyun.

”What the h.e.l.l? What's going on?” Xiang Shaoyun cursed to himself before he started struggling.

”Keep still!” the kidnapper bellowed and slapped Xiang Shaoyun.

Bang!

The slap was extremely powerful, as it caused Xiang Shaoyun to spit blood with one attack. His inner organs almost exploded, and he fainted from the slap. No Astral Realm cultivator could unleash an attack like this. The kidnapper was at the very least a Transformation Realm expert.

Lu Xiaoqing was greatly frightened, and just as she was about to shout, a kick sent her flying. Fortunately, the kidnapper did not seem to intend to kill her. Otherwise, she would've been killed with one kick. Even so, she was still sent flying several meters and coughed up blood and fainted.

As for the kidnapper, he quickly left with Xiang Shaoyun. Not far from the residence, a carriage was waiting. The kidnapper directly leaped into the carriage with Xiang Shaoyun.

”Gya!” The coachman immediately whipped the horse, and the carriage sped toward Martial Hall Palace's exit.

”Meow!”

Little White was hot in pursuit, and shortly after, he caught up and hid beneath the carriage. The people on the carriage had their attention somewhere else so they did not notice Little White. The carriage arrived at the exit. The guards took a look at the coachman before stepping aside to make way for the elder's carriage. Upon leaving the Martial Hall Palace, the people on the carriage heaved a breath of relief. Next, the carriage headed toward Wu Clan's estate.

Meanwhile, Zi Changhe had just returned to Xiang Shaoyun's residence as he had suddenly had a bad feeling. However, when he had returned, he only found an unconscious Lu Xiaoqing. His face immediately fell. He rushed over and woke Lu Xiaoqing before asking, ”What happened? Where's Xiang Shaoyun?”

”H-he was kidnapped!” Lu Xiaoqing struggled out a reply.

”d.a.m.n it!” Zi Changhe bellowed in fury.

Xiang Shaoyun was his junior brother and also had Elder Zhen Peng as his follower. Yet someone still dared to make a move against Xiang Shaoyun? That person was too brazen! After feeding Lu Xiaoqing a healing pill, Zi Changhe rushed to the exit.

”Did you see anyone leaving earlier?” Zi Changhe shouted at the guards.

”Nineteenth elder, too many people are coming and leaving today. May I know who you are looking for?” one guard replied nervously.

”I asked about earlier. Just a short while ago. Did you see any suspicious people leaving? My junior brother Xiang Shaoyun just got kidnapped. Have none of you noticed anything?” Zi Changhe roared.
