He and Baobao thought the same thing, "Yes, currently I surmise that firstly, Shujun falling unconscious and not waking up was intentionally abandoned, and secondly, He Su and her group are deliberately concealing the truth, not wanting us to find Shujun."
Dong Huiying bit her lower lip, then she said hoarsely, "I must go! I must see He Su in person!"
Liang Zhichen nodded, "That’s what I was thinking too. Su Lang is escorting the detainees towards us, we should depart now and will likely meet them on the road."
Liang Yuening was dumbfounded, his IQ wasn’t high, it was actually quite low. He knew he was dumb, but from his eldest brother and Baobao’s reactions, he also came to understand, "I’ll go with you guys!"
Liang Zhichen rejected the offer, "There’s only one horse left at home, it can’t carry three people. Stay at home and wait peacefully, Baobao and I will be back as soon as possible."
Yuening pursed his lips, before this, his fourth brother had been sent to Jun City by his eldest brother and hadn’t returned yet. But he was... he was really worried about Third Brother too. Yet, he also knew that this was not a time for reckless behavior: "Big brother... you, you must ask clearly!"
Liang Zhichen nodded deeply, then after informing Yixuan, he mounted the horse with Dong Huiying.
Outside the Liang family house, Yue Ning and Yixuan watched the sound of hooves fade away, both of them filled with concern.
Shu Yu stood under the eaves, he pursed his lips, and a touch of darkness clouded his eyes.
He was probably a jinx for the family, everything had started because of him.
With that thought, he slowly clenched his fists, thin fingernails digging into his palms, forming crescent marks oozing with blood.
Su Lang was unaware that Liang Zhichen and Dong Huiying were hurrying his way, sticking to the plan and hurrying on the road, eager to present He Su and her companion to Master and claim his merit.
He Su and Aunt Zhao were tied up, thrown into the carriage with their hands and feet bound. He Su’s complexion was very poor, and up until now, she still believed that Su Lang must have a grudge against Phoenix Blood, that’s why he was so concerned about its whereabouts.
Aunt Zhao was also a bit uneasy; she was very worried about He Su’s and her safety.
But after several days, Aunt Zhao discovered that Su Lang was actually taking them towards Taihang Town.
This confused Aunt Zhao greatly.
One day, the group stopped to rest in the wilderness.
After dark, Su Lang was supposed to be resting under a tree with his eyes closed, but his ears suddenly twitched, hearing something that made him alert.
Su Lang gripped the sword lying beside him, squinting his eyes towards the front.
Suddenly, he saw a man and a woman on horseback, both wearing masks, but Su Lang had already recognized their identities.
Su Lang greeted them with wild joy.
Liang Zhichen pulled on the reins, dismounting the horse. When he turned to help Dong Huiying down, he saw that she had already skillfully jumped off.
Liang Zhichen’s outstretched hand froze mid-air. Then, he pretended to casually adjust his sleeve.
"In the carriage, I’ve kept her locked up!" Su Lang replied briskly, then they saw a petite figure dart towards the carriage.
Dong Huiying rushed into the carriage.
"Who’s there!" Aunt Zhao was startled and uncertain, hampered by her bound hands and feet. The newcomer was short, but her gaze was very cold.
Dong Huiying glanced at He Su, who was still in shock, grabbed her, and then dashed out of the carriage again.
In the woods, Dong Huiying threw He Su down on the ground, she took off her mask and tossed it aside. In the deep night, her purple pupils flickered like ghosts in the shadows; step by step, she approached He Su.
