Chapter 733 - 733 Captured
733 Captured
The letter stated that Zhu Asi and Zhu An’an had gone to a nearby valley to explore.
Jiang Ming was a little worried and immediately set off to the valley.
However, after searching for a long time, he could not find Zhu Asi and Zhu An’an.
The two of them seemed to have disappeared. Jiang Ming’s heart was in his throat as he continued to search.
Unexpectedly, he met Xia Ning instead.
Xia Ning looked at Jiang Ming and said unhappily, “Ning Caichen, I finally found you. I want you to talk to Xia Weiwei. Our village needs her very much.”
At this moment, his beard was unshaven, and his face was haggard.
Jiang Ming did not expect Xia Ning to come to find him. He was puzzled for a moment. “Why didn’t you go to Xia Weiwei directly? Why did you come to me?”
However, he felt odd.
Xia Weiwei did not have any conflict with Xia Ning. How did Xia Ning become like this?
Unexpectedly, Xia Ning’s expression became desperate. He muttered to himself, “Xia Weiwei is unwilling to see me. I’ve lost my beloved third sister.”
Seeing Xia Ning’s dejected look, Jiang Ming said helplessly, “Like you said, she doesn’t want to see you. It’s useless for me to pass on a message.”
He became even more confused.
Why was Xia Weiwei unwilling to see Xia Ning? It was too weird.
Perhaps Xia Weiwei had thought things through and wanted to stay with her sister?
This was probably the best way to put it.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ming did not ask.
These were not things he should be asking about.
There was no need to get to the bottom of some things.
Xia Ning’s eyes were filled with tears. He lowered his head and continued to mutter to himself, “But I have no choice. I need my third sister. My older brother also needs her.”
“Think about it again. I’ll leave first.”
Jiang Ming turned around and was about to leave when he was stopped by Xia Ning.
Xia Ning was muddleheaded. He looked at Jiang Ming. “Please help me. I really need Xia Weiwei.”
Seeing Xia Ning like this, Jiang Ming was very helpless. He continued, “I’ve already told you that I can’t help you. Xia Ning, I wish you good luck.”
Xia Ning let go of Jiang Ming’s sleeve and fell to the ground in a daze.
“Weiwei! Weiwei! Weiwei!”
He shouted three times in a row.
Jiang Ming shook his head and turned to leave Xia Ning.
“Ning Caichen, why did you come to the Medical Valley?”
At this moment, a breeze blew across his face, and a man holding a flute appeared in front of Jiang Ming.
The man was wearing white robes. His expression was calm, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
“Are you the valley master?”
Jiang Ming guessed and looked at the man.
As long as he could find the valley master, he would be able to find Zhu Asi and Zhu An’an.
“Yes, I’m Valley Master Xia Qingyi. Why have you come here?”
Xia Qingyi briefly introduced himself and looked at Jiang Ming with a friendly expression.
Jiang Ming became serious. “Xia Ning, Xia Zhaomei, Xia Weiwei, Xia Liushan… Do these names ring a bell?”
“It is just a coincidence that we have the same surname. I only know that my surname was based on an outsider’s surname. I saved that person before, but I didn’t have a name, so he helped me out.”
Xia Qingyi also answered carefully, his eyes seemingly immersed in his memories.
“The person you saved might be related to someone else,” Jiang Ming said casually.
Xia Qingyi laughed and shook his head. “It really has nothing to do with those people. The person I saved is called Xia Xuele.”
Hearing these words, Xia Ning, who was originally in a daze, suddenly perked up. He stood up actively and looked at Xia Qingyi, saying, “Valley Master, you know my mother?”
Xia Qingyi was a little surprised. “Xia Xuele is your mother? Why do I remember treating a man?”
“Yes, my mother was poisoned and became a man. Then, she disappeared. My siblings and I never found her, but I didn’t expect her to be with you.”
Xia Qingyi thought carefully and explained to Xia Ning.
Xia Qingyi thought for a while and said, “After I saved Xia Xuele, she stayed with me for a period of time to recuperate. After that, she left. As for where she is now, I don’t know either. This is a very tricky matter.”
“It’s okay. I’ll look for my mother later. Thank you so much.”
Xia Ning let out a sigh of relief, bowed to Xia Qingyi, and then turned around to leave.
The moment he left, he silently said goodbye to Jiang Ming in his heart. “Goodbye, Ning Caichen. See you again.”
“Goodbye, Xia Ning. I wish you all the best.”
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ming heard Xia Ning’s words and waved at him.
Xia Ning was a little surprised, but she did not say anything else. His eyes were filled with loneliness and despair. Then, he turned around and left.
Now, it was time to get to the point. Jiang Ming looked at Xia Qingyi. “Valley Master, you should give me an explanation now.”
Hearing this, Xia Qingyi felt confused. He looked at Jiang Ming in disbelief and said, “What do I have to explain to you? I didn’t do anything bad.”
“You should be aware of your misdeeds. A few of my good friends came to your place, but they disappeared for no reason. I can’t help but suspect you. They usually don’t get lost.”
Xia Qingyi’s expression changed. “Your good friends are the number one prodigy of the Zhuyan Palace and that young girl with unlimited potential?”
“It seems that you know.” Jiang Ming smiled faintly. “You should return them now.”
“Why? I found them. They are mine now.”
Xia Qingyi started to be persistent.
However, Jiang Ming did not want to listen to Xia Qingyi at all. He released a huge ball of light in his hand and threw it at Xia Qingyi.
Xia Qingyi thought that this ball of light was nothing and directly caught it with their bare hands.
In the end, the moment he caught it, the ball of light became very hot.
Not long after, a huge hole appeared on Xia Ning’s hand. It looked terrible.
“Huh… What’s going on?”
Xia Ning could not help but panic.
He was struck with an extremely medieval weapon.
“It’s fine if you want to recover, but you have to release Zhu Asi and Zhu An’an. Otherwise, your hand will always be like this.”
