49 Captured? (1/2)

The girl in cyan smiled softly, ”No need to hurry. We came to the Kingdom of Chen to study the local customs and to observe the political scenario of this country. Of course, the most important thing is to see how the battle between the princes is progressing.”

”That is what we are here for.”

”We are from the Kingdom of Lan-Feng. If we want to become the supremacy in this land, we need to be concerned about these important aspects.”

The girl in cyan spoke blandly and turned around the corner.

As she rounded the corner, an 'oh' sound leaked out from her mouth out of surprise. The three of them had run into the unconscious body of Ye Xiao.

”This guy...” The girl in cyan's expression changed as a serious glint appeared in her eyes, ”This guy... Isn't he the guy from the auction, the owner of the supreme dan beads?”

The middle-aged woman walked over and identified Ye Xiao, ”Yes. This average-size, strong body and that square jaw. He is definitely that guy named Feng!”

The girl in cyan was agitated. She looked around and spoke anxiously, ”He must have been assaulted...” She then reached her hand out to touch Ye Xiao's neck and said, ”He is still alive. He is breathing...”

She stood up and immediately started issuing orders, ”Aunt Hua, go get a carriage. Don't be discovered. Bring this guy to our house in the Kingdom of Chen. This guy... If I am right, he will be very useful in the future.”

The middle-aged woman quickly left to find a carriage.

Meanwhile, the girl in cyan lifted her foot and kicked Ye Xiao's body thrice. - Pah! Pah! Pah! - She had sealed Ye Xiao's three major acupoints. Now, regardless of whether Ye Xiao wakes up or not, he would be unable to perform any martial arts in the near future.

She then reached out her hand and inserted a dan bead into his mouth before taking a black napkin from her bag and covering his head with it. She said, ”Mr. Zhao, please carry him on your back. And be careful. Don't let anyone see his face.”

”Yes, my lady.” That Mr. Zhao obeyed and bent down before lifting Ye Xiao and placing him on his back.

The girl in cyan reached out her hand once again to quickly search Ye Xiao's body. Taking off her hand from inside Ye Xiao's clothes, she stood there, shocked and confused.

She said, ”Apart from some notes, there is nothing left on him... It seems that this supreme dan bead owner was robbed... In spite of carrying a bunch of precious items, he still flaunted his wealth, so it is reasonable that someone would rob him. But why didn't the ones who robbed him take these notes which are worth a small fortune? Do they not like money... Why?!”

”Or maybe... are the robbers not from the mortal world?”

”If so, who could it be?”

”Could there be an unknown force behind this?”

”This is really surprising and beyond comprehension...”

As she was collecting her thoughts, she felt her palm heat up. She realized that it was the heat coming from Ye Xiao's body.

The girl in cyan suddenly drew her hand back like she had suddenly received an electric shock. Her face was veiled, and hence, her expression could not be seen; however, on her neck, a shade of red was visible.

Realizing what she did, she cursed herself, [What is wrong with me? Why was I so absent-minded? I actually kept my hand inside a man's clothes for such a long time...]

While she was lost in thought, she realized, [Hmmm. This guys smell is not the kind that I dislike. It smells like a purified body which has divorced the filth of the mortal world...]

[Since he has a purified body, he must be a supreme cultivator... So the one who robbed him must be at a much higher level to take this guy down without leaving a single mark on his body...]

[Therefore, the robber must at least have the strength of 6th level Earth Origin Stage cultivator... To find out an accurate estimate, I will need to wait for this guy to wake up and then confirm his cultivation level...]

By now, Mr. Zhao had walked out of the alley while carrying Ye Xiao whose head was still covered by the black napkin.

Not far from them, a carriage came into sight.

The middle-aged woman was walking besides the carriage.

The girl in cyan grabbed Ye Xiao and got in the carriage without any hesitation, and the middle-aged woman followed her in after her.

Mr. Zhao didn't follow after them. Instead, he threw a piece of gold to the coachman and said, ”I will take the carriage.”

He jumped on the coach without saying another word and picked up the whip. He yelled and lashed the horse, and the carriage steadily moved ahead .

He sat on the front, dangling his legs with a dim light in his eyes. He looked exactly like a coachman with years of experience driving a carriage.
