Chapter 409: Mysterious Figures! (1/2)

“The emperor is furious. He wants to investigate all puppet masters within the city. Not only so, but from how he had said it, he also doesn’t intend to spare either your Thunderstorm Bandits or the Globe Merchant Group people. He wants to include everyone.”

Hearing Bai Xiaofei’s words, Nie Qing was horrified.

“Really?!!”

“Why would I lie to you? What’s more, the garrison and the royal guards should have been mobilized by now, and all the city gates are definitely closed. If there are no accidents, they will move to the Bright Road Merchant House. After all, there are so many outsiders here.” Bai Xiaofei calmly analyzed, then looked at Nie Qing.

Just as he expected, she could not sit still.

“I can’t leave it like this, I’m going out!” Nie Qing abruptly stood up, but almost fell down as there was no strength in her legs. Luckily, Bai Xiaofei was quick enough to support her.

“How do you intend to go out like this? You’d be arrested by the patrols in the city as soon as you step out of the Bright Road Merchant House. They should be worried that they can’t catch anyone to report back to their superiors right now, and a weak illusion puppet master like you makes a good target.” Helping Nie Qing sit down, Bai Xiaofei told her a cruel reality.

“You’re the one to blame! If you had been gentle, I wouldn’t have to be like this!” Nie Qing threw him a cold glare. The anxiety on her face hadn’t lessened one bit.

“Whatever it is, stay here like a good girl until recovery. If they investigate this place tomorrow, I will help you fool them, but you’d better find a way to inform your companions. Being too passive is not good for them, and I bet they are really worried about your safety as well.” Bai Xiaofei’s idea in the last sentence couldn’t be any more obvious.

Call your family so I can get to know them. It’s time we met!

“I can’t contact them, they usually come to me,” said Nie Qing with a hint of loss. In fact, even if Bai Xiaofei was willing to let her out, she wouldn’t know where to find them either. In order to ensure absolute secrecy, the Thunderstorm Bandits didn’t appoint a fixed foothold in Nabu City.

“Then wait, either they find you, or the imperial soldiers find them. In any case, we must meet,” stated Bai Xiaofei. Nie Qing fell silent.

This meeting may not be very pleasant.

However, Nie Qing didn’t say this out loud. She was afraid that it would affect Bai Xiaofei’s mood…

Meanwhile, somewhere in Nabu City, six people were gathered in a humble room. Sitting in the center was a girl dressed in blue whose eyes were closed in contemplation. Everyone else was looking at her anxiously, not daring to even let out a loud breath.

After a while, the girl in blue slowly opened her eyes with a frown.

“What happened? You can’t find her?” The speaker was a short-haired, competent-looking man in his 30s.

“I found her, but the situation is a bit pessimistic,” replied the girl. Hearing this, the rest were relieved.

“Fourth Sister, you scared me. I thought we lost our little sister. Where is she? I’ll go pick her up!” said a thin man carelessly as if he had no troubles on his mind.

“Yeah go, she’s at the Bright Road Merchant House.”

The location the girl in blue gave stunned the thin man. He didn’t have the courage to go to such a place by himself…
