Chapter 418: April 18, has it passed again?
“My subordinate doesn’t think it looks much like it, War King and Jing Wang seem more like they’ve gone for that young girl,” said the man in black.
That’s not right. Isn’t Sikong Mo the kind of guy who avoids women at all costs? This isn’t just a rumor, it’s something he witnessed with his own eyes, so this…
Exhausted by the late-night fatigue, Ye Jiu lay down on the bed without even washing his face and fell soundly asleep after being brought back by Sikong Mo.
Looking at the tired little girl, Sikong Mo couldn’t help but rise from his seat to wring a towel and come over to wipe Ye Jiu’s face clean.
Luckily, she had soaked in the medicinal spring just now. Otherwise, she might wake up to the odor of sweat on her body tomorrow morning and definitely loathe herself.
No sooner had Sikong Mo left than a group of men in black infiltrated the inn…
In the night, Ye Wenzheng got up to relieve himself but found that Ye Jiu’s room door was ajar.
He walked over to find pitch darkness inside and couldn’t make out if anyone was there.
Ye Wenzheng knocked on the door, “Niece, are you there… Niece…”
Ye Wenzheng called several times, but no one responded.
Out of caution, Ye Wenzheng took out a fire starter from his bosom, “Niece, I’m coming in now…”
The fire starter ignited, and the surroundings instantly lit up. Ye Wenzheng entered the room only to discover that it was empty.
However, the bedding was in disarray, clearly showing signs of having been slept in.
A bad premonition suddenly flashed through Ye Wenzheng’s mind, and he dashed towards Ye Gaosheng’s room.
Ye Gaosheng was asleep when suddenly awakened by Ye Wenzheng’s shaking.
“Uncle Gaosheng, do you know where the niece has gone?” Ye Wenzheng asked anxiously.
“Isn’t the little sister sleeping in her room?” Ye Gaosheng’s initially sleepy demeanor instantly became alert as he asked Ye Wenzheng in shock.
“She’s not there, and the door to the niece’s room was open, but the bed was slept in,” Ye Wenzheng’s worry deepened, “Uncle Gaosheng, do you think the niece might have gone out on her own for some reason?”
“Let’s wait a bit. If she doesn’t return in half an hour, we’ll go look for her,” said Ye Gaosheng.
As time ticked by, not only half an hour passed without a sign of Ye Jiu, but a whole hour did as well.
Ye Gaosheng and Ye Wenzheng were both very worried.
Unfortunately, moving even a little bit was impossible for Ye Gaosheng, let alone getting out of bed.
Thus, Ye Wenzheng had no choice but to pay the inn’s waiter to help search for the person.
Daylight gradually brightened, but there was still no news of Ye Jiu. Ye Gaosheng lay in bed, completely powerless and anxious.
That’s right, Ye Gaosheng suddenly remembered that Ye Jiu knew both War King and Jing Wang, two important figures. Now that he couldn’t find her, he had no choice but to seek help from others.
After waiting for a little while longer and Ye Wenzheng had still not returned, Ye Gaosheng reluctantly said to the little beggar, “Little beggar, hurry to the doorway and wait. If Wenzheng comes back, tell him to come and see me.”
“Oh,” replied the little beggar, turning to leave.
When Ye Jiu woke up, she was very confused, as she found herself lying in a lavishly decorated room, having just woken up from bed.
Looking at the surroundings left her somewhat dumbfounded.
What in the world was happening? Was this a dream?
She pinched herself hard on the leg and instantly, Ye Jiu’s delicate face wrinkled up in pain.
It hurt quite a bit, actually.
But if it wasn’t a dream, then what was this scene before her eyes all about?
She remembered clearly lying in bed asleep at the inn. Could it be that she had travelled through time again?
The first thought that flashed through Ye Jiu’s mind was to immediately check her Plane Space. After ensuring it, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, the Golden Finger was still there.
