“Senior Brother, who are you talking about? Who would dare kidnap Sister Su? This is inside the sect, and she is even the sect master’s Personal Disciple, who would dare do something like this?” Lin Qingxue looked at Ye Chen with confusion and asked.
With Su Nianwan’s Golden Core Realm cultivation realm, there were not many inner sect disciples who could compete with her. She was one of the most outstanding geniuses of the younger generation.
Ye Chen glanced at Lin Qingxue and said calmly, “Jiang Yuyan.”
“Jiang… the vice sect master?” Lin Qingxue had only felt the name somewhat familiar at first, but when she suddenly remembered the identity, she exclaimed in shock and stared at Ye Chen in disbelief.
“That’s impossible, right? Why would the vice sect master kidnap Sister Su? Sister Su has never offended her…”
Lin Qingxue truly could not believe it.
For inner sect disciples like her, whether it was the sect master or the vice sect master, they were beings high above them, people they could not question or offend.
With the strength of those powerful figures, they could take their lives with just a flick of a finger.
Seeing that Lin Qingxue still did not understand the real reason, Ye Chen patiently explained, “Jiang Yuyan did this because she wants to obtain the secret related to this courtyard from Nianwan’s mouth. In other words, she wants to know what the sect master’s true purpose is in doing all of this.”
“…So that’s how it is.” Lin Qingxue finally understood.
This was clearly a struggle between the sect master and the vice sect master, and the innocent Su Nianwan was dragged into it.
Her heart suddenly grew more anxious. “Senior Brother, then what should we do? Should we tell the sect master and let the sect master personally go and confront the vice sect master to save Sister Su?”
Ye Chen shook his head and said, “We can tell the sect master, but we still have to go find Jiang Yuyan ourselves. Even if the sect master steps forward, Jiang Yuyan can completely deny what she has done, and no one can do anything to her.”
Although Liu Ruyan and Jiang Yuyan were like water and fire in secret and constantly fought against each other, at least on the surface they still appeared harmonious.
Ye Chen was not sure whether Liu Ruyan would completely tear her face with Jiang Yuyan just for Su Nianwan’s sake, or if she would choose to sacrifice Su Nianwan for the sect’s overall interests.
But Ye Chen absolutely would not just sit back and watch, because that was his woman.
Of course, this was only Ye Chen’s speculation for now, but he still needed to prepare for the worst. He quickly walked toward Su Nianwan’s room.
“Senior Brother, what are you going to do?” Under Lin Qingxue’s confused gaze, Ye Chen took out the Tracking Mother-Child Parasite from his storage ring and released the child parasite to detect the scent left on Su Nianwan’s clothes.
After locking onto the scent, the child parasite instantly flew out of the courtyard, and at the same time, the box containing the mother parasite in Ye Chen’s hand trembled slightly. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
“Let’s go and follow it. We’ll know who took Nianwan soon,” Ye Chen said, and the two of them hurriedly chased after it.
Lin Qingxue still felt uneasy. “Senior Brother, what if it really is the vice sect master?” That was a Spirit Severing Realm powerhouse!
Without even turning his head, Ye Chen said, “So what if it’s the vice sect master? If someone dares to touch my woman, even the heavens won’t be shown mercy!”
Lin Qingxue’s heart trembled slightly.
The way she looked at Ye Chen unknowingly carried more admiration and warmth. Being Senior Brother’s woman truly felt so reassuring.
Soon, the two of them arrived outside a secluded courtyard. From a distance, Ye Chen saw that the released child parasite had already flown into the courtyard, which meant Su Nianwan was definitely inside.
“That is the vice sect master’s courtyard. So it really was her who kidnapped Sister Su…” Lin Qingxue was stunned. She had previously thought Ye Chen’s guess was too bold, but she did not expect it to be completely true.
“You go inform the sect master,” Ye Chen said to Lin Qingxue.
“Alright… wait, Senior Brother, what about you?” Lin Qingxue had just turned to leave when she suddenly stopped again and looked at Ye Chen worriedly. That was the vice sect master, a Spirit Severing Realm powerhouse.
No matter how strong Ye Chen was right now, he was still only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He could be instantly killed with a flick of a finger. She did not want him to take such a risk.
Ye Chen could clearly see Lin Qingxue’s concern and smiled as he shook his head. “Don’t worry, I’m not going to die. I’ll just stay here and keep watch. Hurry and go.”
Hearing Ye Chen say this, Lin Qingxue finally felt relieved. “Senior Brother, wait for me…” After saying that, she quickly left.
Watching Lin Qingxue leave, Ye Chen withdrew his smile, took out a talisman from his storage ring, and injected spiritual energy into it.
The talisman transformed into a beam of light that enveloped his body, erasing his aura, and his figure slowly began to disappear.
“Invisibility Talisman… truly a good thing.”
Ye Chen was very clear that even if Liu Ruyan personally confronted Jiang Yuyan, the other party would never admit to kidnapping Su Nianwan.
Even if they completely fell out, there was still the risk of being counter-accused of framing her. Ye Chen had to personally find Su Nianwan in advance so that Liu Ruyan would have enough reason to hold her accountable.
Moreover, Su Nianwan had already been kidnapped for several hours.
If Jiang Yuyan failed to obtain the secret she wanted, she might very well choose to silence her. Su Nianwan’s life was already in great danger, and Ye Chen did not have much time left to save her. You are reading on novelping.com, the official source.
No one knew what Jiang Yuyan might do, but there was one thing he was certain of—she would definitely not hand Su Nianwan over obediently.
Ye Chen immediately approached the courtyard and easily slipped inside. At this moment, no one could see him at all, and he could come and go freely.
With the guidance of the mother parasite in his hand, Ye Chen soon locked onto a particular room. After making sure there was no movement inside, he gently pushed the door open.
The door creaked slightly.
Sitting bound in the corner with her cultivation sealed, Su Nianwan saw the door suddenly open by itself and panic flashed in her eyes.
There was no one outside, so why did the door open? Could it be a ghost in broad daylight?
The next moment, a hand landed on her shoulder.
“Ah!” Su Nianwan trembled violently, her face turning pale as she struggled frantically.
“Don’t be afraid, it’s me,” Ye Chen’s voice echoed beside her ear.
Su Nianwan, who had been struggling a moment ago, was instantly stunned. She turned her head toward the empty air beside her, unable to believe what she heard. Was she imagining things?
“Senior Brother Ye, is that you?”
“It’s me. I came to take you away.”
Receiving a definite answer, Su Nianwan finally relaxed. Her heart was filled with emotion. She had never thought that Ye Chen would risk sneaking into the vice sect master’s courtyard just to save her.
With a swish, Ye Chen untied the ropes binding Su Nianwan and helped her up to leave. Although Su Nianwan could not see Ye Chen, she could clearly feel his presence beside her, and the warmth of his hand gave her reassurance.
Just as the two of them stepped outside, a figure descended from the sky and blocked their path.
“Did I say you could leave?”
