Chapter 99 Zhaohua
Feng Yu searched for three whole days before finally finding Bai Song's residence.
He knocked on the courtyard gate for a long time, and finally couldn't resist climbing over the wall before Bai Song came out to open the gate.
When Bai Song opened the door, he saw that it was Feng Yu and quickly invited him into the courtyard.
Feng Yu looked exhausted and frowned.
Bai Song was startled. How could his handsome and upright brother-in-law have become like this?
Bai Song: "How did you get like this?"
Feng Yu, her eyes red, said, "Big brother, Yao Yao has been kidnapped by Jiang Ming."
"What!" Bai Song exclaimed in shock, "When did this happen?"
Feng Yu: "It's been three days, and I still don't know where Jiang Ming went. Shen Yu is in Yao Yao's stone bead. Brother, please contact Shen Yu quickly, I don't have her authorization letter."
Bai Song immediately sent a message to Shen Yu and took Feng Yu to the living room. Zhao Bin, Lan Ying, and Wan Li were all there. They were all very anxious when they heard that Yao Yao had been captured by Jiang Ming.
"What should we do?" Lan Ying said. "Why did Jiang Ming kidnap Shen Yao?"
Feng Yu recounted what happened that day and apologized to Bai Song: "I'm sorry, I was useless and failed to protect her."
Bai Song was also very upset, but Jiang Ming was too strong, so he couldn't blame his brother-in-law; it was just that his sister was too impulsive.
Moreover, Bai Song only learned today that his younger sister had developed a demon in her heart.
The cultivators waited anxiously, but after a long time they still didn't receive a reply from Shen Yu. Zhao Bin, Lan Ying, and Wan Li then sent messages to Shen Yu, but still received no response.
Feng Yu felt desperate; Shen Yu must have been captured by Jiang Ming as well.
I wonder if Jiang Ming has discovered Yao Yao's secret, and how he will treat her.
Bai Song: "You said Jiang Ming might return to Emperor Immortal City, or he might detour to Immortal Wood City?"
Feng Yu: "Yes, both sides have sent disciples to investigate, but they haven't found any news yet."
Bai Song: "We don't have Old Man Huo's order either. Where did Old Man Huo go after you left when the strange beasts besieged the city that day?"
Feng Yu: "There were too many thorny beasts that day, and we got separated while we were killing them."
The implication was that Feng Yu didn't know where Old Man Huo had gone either.
Feng Yu suddenly stood up: "Jiang Ming will return to the True God Sect sooner or later, I'm going to the True God Sect to find him!"
Bai Song wanted to persuade Feng Yu not to act impulsively, but he was also very anxious. After thinking it over, Bai Song said, "Here's what we'll do: you go out of the city to Fenzhou and search along the route to the True God Sect. Zhao Bin and I will go to Xianmu City to search."
Lan Ying and Wan Li said at the same time, "We'll go too."
Bai Song: "You guys stay here first. The three of us will split up and search. If Shen Yao escapes back to Qiwu City, you can still look after each other."
Bai Song's arrangement was fine, so everyone decided to go with it.
Without delay, they set off immediately and left the city separately.
……
The food was brought by the disciple from yesterday, but Shen Yao didn't eat it.
Jiang Ming came home early today. Seeing the untouched food on the table, he asked her, "Why aren't you eating?"
Shen Yao didn't even look at him, leaning on the low table by the window, completely uninterested.
Jiang Ming: "Did you bully me last night? Are you feeling guilty and unable to eat?"
Shen Yao sighed.
Jiang Ming leaned closer and asked her, "What's wrong?"
Shen Yao sat up: "Hall Master Jiang, I haven't seen the sun in a long time."
Jiang Ming smiled faintly: "Not long, only three days."
Shen Yao: "But I feel uncomfortable if I don't get sun exposure for a day."
Jiang Ming: "So what do you want to do?"
Shen Yao: "I want to go out for a walk."
"Okay." Jiang Ming knew what trick she was going to play again: "I'll take you out for a walk."
Shen Yao, taking advantage of the situation, said, "I want to see my sister first."
Jiang Ming: "Okay."
The salted fish had been tied up for three days. Upon seeing Yao Yao at the door, it excitedly called out, "Yao Yao!"
"Fish." As soon as Shen Yao saw the tied-up salted fish, she wanted to rush over.
Jiang Ming stopped her: "Let's watch it here."
Shen Yao: "Let her go first."
Jiang Ming: "She's a demon."
Shen Yao: "What's wrong with being a demon? It can't just run away, can it?"
“The demon race is full of strange and unpredictable magic; they ran away as soon as we released them.” Jiang Ming closed the door and pulled Shen Yao outside, saying, “We’ve seen them; let’s go.”
After going downstairs and walking around a large hall, I finally exited the building. The courtyard outside was quite large, with several small buildings, artificial hills, and ponds scattered around.
There were layers of walls and buildings outside the courtyard, all bearing the same symbol. Shen Yao guessed that they were in the backyard of some major sect.
Jiang Ming walked very slowly, and Shen Yao followed his pace, looking around.
Seeing her looking around, Jiang Ming knew she was planning to escape.
Jiang Ming wasn't afraid that she would escape now; her sister and Shi Zhu were both in his hands, and she couldn't escape.
She walked all the way to the wooden pavilion at the entrance of the courtyard but didn't see a single disciple. Shen Yao sat down on a chair in the pavilion and said, "I'm tired. I'll sit for a while. You can go and wander around by yourself."
Jiang Ming: "You wanted to go out for a walk, how did it become accompanying me?"
Shen Yao: "Anyway, I'm too tired to walk anymore, you can wander around by yourself."
Jiang Ming: "How about... I carry you around?"
Shen Yao: "What husband? Don't talk nonsense!"
Jiang Ming: "Last night you said you wanted to be my wife."
"Impossible!" Shen Yao said impatiently. "Go and wander around. I just want to be alone for a while."
Jiang Ming looked at her without moving.
Shen Yao: "Hall Master Jiang, do I not even have a shred of freedom? With your strength, are you afraid I'll escape?"
"Okay, sure." Jiang Ming turned to leave.
Shen Yao: "You're not allowed to peek at me, not even with your spiritual sense."
"Okay." Jiang Ming walked away slowly.
Shen Yao kept staring at the courtyard gate, which was wide open, and she didn't see any disciples guarding the courtyard.
Jiang Ming went further and further away.
Shen Yao stepped out of the wooden pavilion, kicking pebbles as she moved toward the courtyard gate.
As they moved to the courtyard gate, they saw a familiar-looking female cultivator passing by outside—it was Zhao Hua!
Shen Yao tossed a pebble to Zhao Hua's feet. Zhao Hua turned around and his eyes lit up. It was Sister Yao Yao!
Just as Zhao Hua was about to shout "Sister Yao Yao," he saw Sister Yao Yao make a shushing gesture.
Standing beside the artificial hill, Jiang Ming raised an eyebrow, his spiritual sense taking in everything.
Shen Yao looked back and, not seeing Jiang Ming, gestured for Zhao Hua to squat down.
Zhao Hua squatted outside the courtyard gate, while Shen Yao squatted inside, pretending to throw pebbles.
Jiang Ming's spiritual consciousness floated between the two of them.
Zhao Hua asked in a low voice, "Sister Yao Yao, what are you doing here?"
Shen Yao: "Zhaohua, where is this?"
Zhao Hua: "This is Wanhua Sect, which is my sect."
Shen Yao: "How far is it from here to the True God Sect?"
Zhao Hua: "At Xian Fan's speed, it would take five days to arrive."
Shen Yao: "Zhaohua, you must help me."
Zhao Hua: "What's wrong? Sister Yao Yao, tell me, I'll help you if I can."
Shen Yao: "Do you know Feng Yu? Feng Yu from the Feng family in Qiwu City. He is my future husband. I need to send him a message."
Zhao Hua: "Wow, Sister Yao Yao has booked a fairy couple?"
Shen Yao: "Hmm, do you know each other?"
Zhao Hua: "I don't know them, but I can help you send a message to the Feng family."
Shen Yao: "Thank you, Zhaohua. Just tell Feng Yu to come to the True God Sect in Emperor Immortal City to find Shen Yao."
Zhao Hua: "Okay, sister, why don't you send him a message yourself?"
Shen Yao: "I can't send it; the communication token has been taken away."
Zhao Hua: "Who took it?"
Shen Yao: "Jiang Ming."
"Ah? Jiang Ming!" Zhao Hua covered her mouth: "Sister, you weren't kidnapped by Jiang Ming, were you?"
Shen Yao: "You know?"
Zhao Hua: "A couple of days ago, I heard my father and mother say that Master Jiang kidnapped a female immortal and imprisoned her in Jingyuan. They told my mother not to come here unless necessary and not to tell anyone."
Shen Yao: "Will you still help me send messages?"
Zhao Hua: "Send it! Sister, I'll go and send it for you in a bit! That Hall Master Jiang is such a scoundrel! You've already arranged a husband for me, and he's still trying to steal him away."
Shen Yao: "Yes, he really is a scoundrel. You'd better leave quickly, otherwise Jiang Ming will come soon and he won't be far away."
Zhaohua: "Okay, Sister Yaoyao, I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself!"
Shen Yao: "Okay."
After Zhao Hua left, Shen Yao pretended to play with pebbles on the ground for a while before standing up and slowly walking back.
