[Hey, right, I still donât know what this guy looks like. Why not pull off the black cloth on his face and take a look?]
Yun Wanqing was delighted and once again released her spiritual power.
The spiritual power transformed into an invisible large hand, pulling down the black cloth on the unconscious manâs face, revealing an unremarkable face. Yun Wanqing couldnât help but critique it in her heart.
[Tsk, this look is definitely the kind that you wouldnât be able to pick out in a crowd.]
[Iâve discovered a rule in this world: anyone with a good background or appearing with the heroine is always a handsome man or a beautiful woman.]
[And this kind of ordinary appearance only shows up in places that havenât appeared in the plot.]
[What the heck, isnât this just pure discrimination based on looks?]
On the other side~
Everyone was watching over their boss to check the situation, but suddenly the black cloth on his face slipped off. Everyone paused for a moment, quickly reacted, picked up the black cloth, and helped him tie it back on.
Watching those people, a crazy idea suddenly popped into Yun Wanqingâs mind.
[Since Iâve already done it, why not go big?]
[Thatâs right, letâs do it!]
[What if Iâve seen someone among this group? Maybe I can find out who the mastermind behind my kidnapping is and their purpose.]
Thus, the yet-to-be-retracted spiritual power instantly split into dozens of strands, each transforming into an invisible large hand.
Clatter!
All the black cloths on the faces of the people present fell off simultaneously. They looked at each other, then widened their eyes and became even more panicked.
"A ghost, thereâs a ghost..."
Yun Wanqing: "..."
Watching the helpless crowd who were scared and didnât know what to do, she was utterly speechless.
[Youâre the ghosts, youâre all ghosts.]
[Such a large group of men, why are you so timid?]
[Even if there really was a ghost, with your strong yang energy, what could they do to you? Honestly.]
After ranting, she quickly scanned everyone with her senses. Confirming she hadnât seen any of them before, she calmly retracted her spiritual power and closed her eyes to feign sleep.
[Sigh, if it werenât for being so hungry, actually being kidnapped and brought out isnât so bad.]
[Itâs a chance to get some fresh air.]
[But itâs a pity, Iâm about to starve to death. Ah, I miss mom, miss the nurse, miss drinking milk...]
[This bunch of guys, itâs likely theyâve decided not to find milk for me. Dad and the others donât know when theyâll be able to find me.]
[Sigh, letâs wait and see. After the guy sent away earlier returns, maybe I can hear some useful information.]
[By the way, whatâs above this secret room, anyway?]
[No, I need to release my spiritual power to take a look, maybe Iâll discover something.]
With that thought, the spiritual power that had just been retracted was released once again.
The spiritual power passed through the earth wall and reached the surface, revealing a desolate and secluded courtyard.
On the other side of the courtyard wall, it was brightly lit and looked quite lavish.
[Where is that place? It seems like itâs the residence of some high-ranking official.]
[Sigh, unfortunately, itâs too far, my spiritual power canât reach it.]
The spiritual power wandered around but didnât find any clues. Just as it was about to retract, it discovered a group of people outside the alley, searching every house in a hurry.
At the forefront was a young man, tall and graceful, with a delicate and enchanting appearance, a fierce look in his brows and eyes.
"Search thoroughly, donât even leave out a mouse hole. Tonight, tear the ground up if you must, we must find my little sister."
[Oh, itâs Second Brother.]
[Second Brother, tearing the ground up isnât enough. Only tearing it up three feet deep wonât find me; the secret room from the surface is about five feet thick, according to the measurement of my spiritual power.]
In the night.
The young man in the alley, looking like an Asura, suddenly hesitated, then quickly looked around, but apart from them, there was nothing else.
But just now, he clearly heard his little sisterâs voice.
Could it have been his imagination?
"Did you hear anything just now?"
He suddenly grabbed a guard by the collar, looking at them anxiously. The guard, startled by his sudden action, paused and then slowly shook his head.
"Reporting to Second Young Master, this subordinate didnât hear anything."
Is that so?
Was it really just his worry for his little sister that made him hear things?
Yun Wanye released his grip, letting go of the guardâs collar, looking lost and desolate.
