Chapter 383: Yin Qing Escapes

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

They arrived only to find Su Meng and a maid lying in a puddle of blood, with the curtain gently swaying nearby.

Feng Tianian glanced at the curtain and swiftly chased after.

Gu Qingluan entered the room, her divine sense scanning Su Meng and the maids bodies.

A weapon had struck Su Mengs chest, and dark blood oozed out. However, there were no wounds on the maid, and a dagger lay nearby.

Luckily, she had detected a life-threatening threat to Su Meng and arrived just in time. If she had been even a moment later, Su Meng could have lost his life.

The maid had merely fainted, so Gu Qingluan paid no attention to her and immediately went to help Su Meng.

A quarter of an hour later, Su Meng slowly opened his eyes and saw Gu Qingluan. He wore an apologetic expression and said, Master, youve saved me once again, but unfortunately, I failed. Yin Qing managed to escape.

Gu Qingluan asked, What just happened?

The maid didnt possess any arcane power, so she shouldnt have been able to harm Su Meng.

Furthermore, Yin Qings cultivation had been sealed by her, so he should not have been able to harm Su Meng either.

Su Mengs guilt was evident on his face as he explained, Its all my fault. I was careless. 1 didnt expect this maid to suddenly attack me. I was unprepared and got injured. Yin Qing took advantage of the situation to escape.

Gu Qingluan helped him sit down and rest before waking up the maid.

The maid, upon waking up, had no recollection of her recent actions.

Upon learning that she had used a dagger to harm Su Meng, she panicked and explained, I truly dont know what happened. I came to serve tea to Mr. Su Meng, and then I cant remember anything else. Please spare me, Milady! I truly dont know anything! 1 didnt mean to harm anyone!

Just then, Feng Tianian returned from outside.

I didnt manage to catch the person.

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Qingluans eyes.

When they arrived, the curtain was still swaying, indicating that the person had just left. With Feng Tianlans skills, how could he not have caught up with them?

Curiosity welled up in her. She decided to inquire further about the situation from Feng Tianian.

However, Feng Tianian didnt reveal everything to her. The less she knew about the mysterious techniques they practiced, the safer it would be for her.

He told her, They use a unique technique that can cloud the mind. This maid still retains a hint of demonic energy, suggesting that Yin Qing employed it to bewilder and manipulate her into harming Su Meng.

Demonic energy?

Gu Qingluan hadnt sensed the presence of demonic energy when she previously clashed with Yin Qing.

Could it be because Yin Qing concealed the demonic energy?

In the future, be extremely cautious when encountering people like Yin Qing, Feng Tianian earnestly advised her. After a pause, he added, Youve offended Yin Qing, and given their style of action, they wont let it go easily. You need to be especially careful in the coming days.

Gu Qingluan nodded in agreement. She didnt dare to underestimate the situation, especially since she had witnessed a group of Saint-level cloaked figures in the black market.

If she had to face so many Saints alone, her chances of winning were slim.

But now that they were in the open, while the enemy remained concealed, it would be difficult to fend off any retaliation from Yin Qing.

After some thought, Gu Qingluan decided to temporarily keep Xiaonan and Yuanxi in the Stellar s.p.a.ce. She would bring them out once they had dealt with Yin Qing.

Feng Tianian agreed with Gu Qingluans decision.

They couldnt watch over the two children day and night. If Yin Qing targeted the children, they might have moments of vulnerability and be taken advantage of.

While its safer for Yuanxi and Xiaonan to stay in the s.p.a.ce, its not a long-term solution. It would be best to find out Yin Qings whereabouts or lure him out of hiding.

Gu Qingluan pondered for a moment and said, Isnt he a.s.sociated with Xiao Jingye? Maybe we can go talk to Xiao Jingye to learn more about him.

Feng Tianian nodded. You can come with me..
