Chapter 294 - Man in Red
Ignoring Lord Marten, Xiao Jiuyuan finally stretched out his hand and grabbed Yun Qianyu’s hand, pulling her away. Soon, the two disappeared into the dark night.
At the Black Bamboo Pavilion, Ye Jia, Lord Marten and Rainbow stared at the two as they hurriedly walked away.
Ye Jia couldn’t help murmuring, “The relationship between the two seems to have improved a lot.”
‘This is a good thing, I think.’
In fact, Ye Jia thought that Xiao Jiuyuan and her cousin were very well matched. Her cousin was a capable person. Ordinary people didn’t deserve her and wouldn’t be able to handle her. At present, it seemed like only Xiao Jiuyuan could.
As for Xiao Yechen, although he was kind and warm-hearted, he wouldn’t be able to handle her cousin. Moreover, Xiao Yechen was too weak. He wouldn’t be able to protect her if she was in trouble.
Simply put, Ye Jia felt that Xiao Jiuyuan was the most suitable person for her cousin.
On the other side, Rainbow had her beak wide open for a long time. After some time, she called out, “They are holding hands, they are holding hands!”
In a disappointed voice, Lord Marten said, “This is so sad, our master has been taken by that pig.”
Lord Marten and Rainbow’s minds were connected to Yun Qianyu, so when they badmouthed Xiao Jiuyuan, she could hear it. Listening to the two brats complain about Xiao Jiuyuan, she couldn’t help but sneer, especially at Lord Marten’s description of Xiao Jiuyuan: the pig.
If Xiao Jiuyuan found out that he had become a pig in Lord Marten’s eyes, he would have him killed.
Yun Qianyu then asked Xiao Jiuyuan curiously, “Where is Xiao Feng hill?”
“It’s a small hillside in the southwest of the city, about 50 miles away from the capitol. The terrain there is steep and dangerous. You must be careful after we get there.”
“Alright.”
After this, the two did not speak any more. Instead, they both thought hard about who would kidnap Little Bell.
Xiao Feng hill was not a tall mountain, instead it was a bunch of small hills connected to one another. However, these small hills were very steep.
Xiao Jiuyuan and Yun Qianyu separated before they arrived at Xiao Feng hill. Yun Qianyu walked to the foot of Xiao Feng hill alone.
The moon was hanging high and the moonlight was shining onto the hill. The entire mountain was silent, as if there was no one there.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Yun Qianyu looked up the hill and saw no one. However, she knew that someone must be lurking around. She was not afraid though, because Xiao Jiuyuan had also stationed some of his men at the foot of the mountain.
Furthermore, she had orange spirit energy, and a lot of elixir pills in her hand. This meant that the enemy wouldn’t be able to kill her instantly, giving Xiao Jiuyuan enough time to come save her if needed.
While thinking, Yun Qianyu looked up the hill and called out, “Who are you? Why are you hiding like a coward? Haven’t you asked me to come here alone to save Little Bell? I’m here, let go of Little Bell!”
Even though Yun Qianyu was not loud, her voice was still clear and audible under the silent night. Soon after she said that, countless torches suddenly lit up on the top of the hill.
The entire hill was suddenly brighter. In the dazzling light, Yun Qianyu could see a man standing in the middle of the hilly road. Under the dim yellow light of the torches, she could see that the man was wearing a red robe and had black hair.
Although far away, Yun Qianyu’s six senses were more sensitive than ordinary people’s. Even if this person was far away, she could still see the man’s appearance. In addition to his black hair and red robe, the man had a rather evil yet handsome looking face.
