Chapter 61

Zhao Ying didn't bother going to the back garden to ride her horse; instead, she directly used her lightness kung fu and rushed into the Duke's residence like a gust of wind. She rowed a small boat to the East Garden, which was quiet and seemed to be asleep.

Zhao Ying hurriedly got off the boat and rushed to knock on the jade chime, then dashed inside using her lightness kung fu.

When she rushed into the courtyard, the light in the main house's bedroom turned on, and Li Yue was getting dressed.

Zhao Ying called out through the window, "Senior Brother Li, where is Senior Brother Chu?"

"Ah, Junior Sister Li." Li Yue yawned as he pushed open the living room door, barefoot and lethargic. "He didn't come back tonight. What's the matter, so late at night?"

He had gone to bed very late and had only been asleep for a short while. Being woken up from a deep sleep, he felt completely drained.

"He didn't come back! He didn't come back!" Zhao Ying stomped her feet in anxiety and scolded, "Chen Yin was kidnapped. We need to find Senior Brother Chu. Is he on Jade Qi Island?"

"Chen Yin?" Li Yue immediately became alert, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. His eyes widened. "Kidnapped? Who did it?"

"I didn't see who it was!" Zhao Ying said anxiously. "We need to go to Jade Qi Island!"

"No way." Li Yue shook his head. "Jade Qi Island is heavily guarded; you can't get in!"

"It's a matter of life and death; the Third Miss will make an exception!"

Li Yue shook his head. "Jade Qi Island has layers of checkpoints. It will take a long time to get a message through. ... Wait a moment!"

He went to a small tree in the corner of the wall. The tree had been planted not long ago and was as thick as a little finger. He kicked the tree hard, breaking it, and then pulled it out. Looking at the broken tree, he sighed in relief. "He'll be back soon. Junior Sister Zhao, don't worry, don't worry!"

Zhao Ying frowned, looking at him and then at the broken tree on the ground, not understanding what he was doing.

Li Yue pointed and said, "This is a love tree. The two trees are like a couple; if one dies, the other will die too. Brother Chu will know!"

"Will it work?" Zhao Ying's face was full of doubt. "He's probably asleep. How will he have time to look at the tree?"

"Don't worry." Li Yue shook his head. "No matter how deeply he sleeps, once a tree dies, he will know immediately! ... By the way, how could Chen Yin be kidnapped? Could it be a flower thief?"

"Who knows!" Zhao Ying frowned and shook her head. "If it's for her beauty, that's a big problem!"

If it was for her beauty, and if they encountered someone with a strong lust, they might not arrive in time. Thinking of this, she was extremely anxious and angry.

She also hated her own helplessness, feeling lost and unable to do anything when faced with a crisis, and could only come to find her senior brother!

I must advance to the innate realm and stop being so useless, relying on him for everything!

"What's going on?" Chu Li's voice suddenly sounded. He floated down in front of them, wearing a white sleeping robe and holding a green sword, with the wind swirling around him.

"Brother, you're here!" Li Yue clapped his hands and waved. "Quickly, let's talk while we walk!"

Chu Li waved his hand. "There's no rush. Junior Sister, what's going on?"

"Senior Brother, Chen Yin was kidnapped on her way back!" Zhao Ying's bright eyes were red, tears welling up, ready to fall.

Chu Li frowned. "Chen Yin?"

Zhao Ying nodded vigorously.

Chu Li immediately activated the Great Round Mirror Wisdom. "Let's get on the boat and talk!"

"Let's go." Li Yue said.

Chu Li waved his hand. "Brother Li, you stay here."

"I can help too!" Li Yue said quickly.

Chu Li shook his head. "Someone needs to guard the East Garden."

"… Really don't need me?" Li Yue said unhappily.

Chu Li said, "If anything happens in the East Garden, we'll all be in trouble. Don't worry, I'll handle it!"

"… Alright, then hurry." Li Yue stopped arguing.

—

Chu Li wrapped his arm around Zhao Ying's waist and lightly floated out of the Duke's residence. In a few breaths, they arrived at the mansion, where all the women were waiting.

Chu Li activated the Great Round Mirror Wisdom and directly saw the scenes in their minds.

From the figures in their minds, Chu Li analyzed and determined it was Feng Wen, and the other was his servant. These two were incredibly bold, daring to do such a thing in Chongming City. They must be tired of living!

"I'll go find her. Junior Sister, stay here and keep them company!" Chu Li said solemnly.

Zhao Ying said quickly, "I'll go with you!"

If something really happened, a man might not be able to handle it. As a woman, she could speak more effectively to Chen Yin.

Chu Li frowned. "There might be a fight. Are you sure you want to go?"

Zhao Ying looked at him resolutely. "Senior Brother, I'm not that useless. One more person means one more pair of eyes!"

"Alright." Chu Li nodded, thinking it would be good for her to see it. "Prepare for a fight, let's go!"

Zhao Ying hung the sword from the table at her waist.

The two floated out of the mansion and quickly arrived at a street corner. Chu Li looked down at the footprints. Under the Great Round Mirror Wisdom, Feng Wen's footprints were as clear as the moon in the night sky.

He maintained the Great Round Mirror Wisdom and floated like a feather, all the way to the towering city wall. He stepped on the wall as if it were flat ground, then gracefully soared over the wall and landed softly.

All the footprints within a three-mile radius were in his view. They followed the footprints out of the city for twenty miles, arriving at an estate. They directly scaled the wall and entered the estate, silently approaching a courtyard.

The estate was silent, except for this small courtyard, which had a light on.

The bedroom in the main house was brightly lit.

Chen Yin was huddled in the corner of the bed, her clothes disheveled, her beautiful eyes wide with fear, waving her hands to keep Feng Wen, who was grinning wickedly, from getting closer.

Feng Wen was bare-chested, grinning nonstop, slowly approaching Chen Yin, moving closer and farther away like a cat playing with a mouse, thoroughly enjoying the torment and teasing, excited by Chen Yin's frightened and helpless appearance.

"Bang!" The door was kicked open, and Feng Wen glared angrily.

Seeing Chu Li and Zhao Ying, he was not afraid but instead his eyes lit up, looking at Zhao Ying.

Under the lamplight, Zhao Ying's skin was smooth and lustrous, beautiful like a jade maiden. With his lustful heart, he couldn't help but stare at her.

Chu Li stepped forward and thrust his sword.

"Ugh…" Feng Wen's eyes widened in disbelief, looking at Chu Li, then down at the sword in his chest, trying to pull it out.

Chu Li lightly flicked the sword, and Feng Wen flew up.

"Bang!" He crashed through the window and landed in the dark courtyard.

Chen Yin immediately threw herself into Chu Li's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

Chu Li held the soft and fragrant body in his arms, but he had no evil thoughts, only pity.

Chen Yin's delicate body trembled lightly, like a frightened bird, truly pitiful. He patted her back, sighing inwardly at her unfortunate fate, suffering this torment again.

Zhao Ying glanced inside the room, sighing in relief. It was good, very good. They had rushed just in time. If they had been a step later, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Her heart, which had been on edge, finally relaxed.

Chu Li patted Chen Yin. "He's dead."

Zhao Ying went out and carefully examined the body, then delivered another strike. She only felt hatred for Feng Wen, thinking he deserved to die. Such a person should be dead.
