Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Captured

“Moo moo…”

Xiaobai was calling outside, Little Bai Yun next to her legs also making noise, really driving her nuts.

“Really owe you guys one!”

Qi Yue put down her chopsticks, stood up, and cooked another big pot of corn.

Thinking about it, it’s ridiculous, ever since the Space Mall opened, she had to buy and cook corn almost every day.

If she had known White Rhinos were addicted to corn, she never would have encouraged this habit.

After eating and drinking their fill, the corn was cooked, and carrying two large basins outside, she was immediately greeted by Xiaobai licking her hands.

“Alright, alright, hurry up and eat!”

The new White Rhino suddenly barked at her, lowering its head slightly, which scared Qi Yue into stepping back.

She calmed down only to realize the White Rhino wasn’t charging at her but was pushing its whole head into her hands.

Qi Yue mustered her courage and touched it briefly, and instantly the White Rhino started mooing happily.

“Alright, since you’re being so obedient, you can stay. Your fur is so soft, I’ll call you Xiaorou.”

“Moo…”

Oddly, Xiaorou seemed to dislike the name she picked, and the corn didn’t seem as tasty to it anymore.

But whatever, since it’s entered her territory, it has to listen to her.

Qi Yue looked at the three White Rhinos, large, medium, and small, and couldn’t be happier.

These White Rhinos were too beautiful, having three of them in the space was quite a sight.

Otherwise, it was only chickens and ducks, which weren’t pleasing to the eye.

Qi Yue stepped out of the space again, only to find Bai Dahui and others still rummaging through the pile of White Stone, and she couldn’t help but chuckle.

Keep searching.

If she were Bai Dahui, she’d just lift a piece of White Stone, claim it turned from a White Rhino, and Murong Mingyue might even believe it.

Hahaha….

Just as she was about to leave, several whooshing sounds suddenly rang in her ears.

Qi Yue quickly hid herself, only to find that a group of people had arrived near the waterfall at some point.

These people all wore dark colors, looked stern, and carried no ornaments, so it was hard to tell who they were.

As soon as they arrived, they shot two soldiers with their arrows.

Bai Dahui immediately led his men to be on guard, and the two groups faced each other.

“Hand over the White Rhino, and we’ll spare your lives!”

The voice of the man in black leading them was rough, like iron tongs, making listeners feel heavy-hearted.

Of course, Bai Dahui wasn’t someone to be easily manipulated; he fiercely drew out his knife, looking determined not to give up.

“Why should I? Do you know how much trouble I took to catch that beast?”

The two groups clashed in an instant.

Taking advantage of the chaotic scene, Qi Yue immediately left the mountain, left the woods, heading towards Nanguan Town.

Reaching the spot where she had left her horses earlier, she whistled, and the previously freed horse neighed and appeared.

Qi Yue fed it a handful of sugar beans, and the horse immediately started running, incredibly fast.

After a furious ride, she finally entered the town before darkness fell.

She calculated in her heart, Bai Dahui and the others might not come for a while, she decided to rest overnight and head east early tomorrow morning to catch a ship back to Longnan Ridge, this plan was solid.

Wondering how Qu Wei was doing? She needed to give him a heads-up first.

As she was mulling over these things, she went up to the third floor and knocked on Qu Wei’s door.

“Brother, Bro…”

The door opened by itself, the room was eerily quiet, clearly empty…

This situation undoubtedly looked like trouble.

Qi Yue’s pupils shrank, and she immediately rushed through the door.

The room was filled with a faint, unfamiliar scent, and under the tea cup on the table, there was a note pressed down.

[Miss Qi, if you want the person, come and follow us.]

Fuck!

Follow where?

Could you at least mention a place!

Qi Yue’s lungs were about to explode from anger!

Which idiot kidnaps someone and doesn’t leave an address, is this a guessing game?

After flipping the note, there was yet another line written on the back:

“One month is your limit; without the presence of Miss Qi Yue, heads will roll.”

Damn!

This was blatantly provoking her!

She clutched the piece of paper, intending to tear it into shreds, but then she considered it was the only clue left by the person who had taken Qu Wei and decided against it.

Finding Qu Wei was the urgent matter at hand.

Though he was not her real brother, they had gotten along like family during their journey, and she had to rescue him!

She hastily sought out the innkeeper to ask about what happened after she had left but found out nothing.

The innkeeper said that around noon, he saw Qu Wei dining with several men in blue robes; after that, he knew nothing.

Qi Yue almost cursed out loud.

Her “big brother” was a complete idiot!

Despite trying to appear grand, he was just like a fancy pillow, easy to seize, unable to leave even a single clue behind when captured?

With the current situation, where was she supposed to start looking for him?

Qi Yue, having gleaned nothing, could only pin her hopes on the note in her hand.

It was merely an ordinary piece of paper, obviously grabbed at random, with no valuable information.

The only useful thing was the one-month timeline set by the other party.

But a month was sufficient to cover many places.

Donggao, Nanyue, Western Chu… Traveling to these places, following the practice of marching by day and stopping by night, would all take a month.

Thinking of Western Chu, an idea sparked in Qi Yue’s mind.

Could it have been Qin Zhongyu’s doing?

Lately, it had only been him and his sister constantly following her, clearly with some ulterior motive.

Could they have taken advantage of her absence to kidnap Qu Wei deliberately?

Yet, upon further thought, she felt something was off.

Qin Zhongyu and his men had been thrown off by her halfway through; even if they tried to catch up, they should not have been so swift.

But apart from him, Qi Yue couldn’t think of anyone else who would target Qu Wei.

Thinking it over, she still had no leads.

Just before dawn, Qi Yue suddenly remembered the group of men in black she had encountered in the mountains, and the more she thought about it, the more she believed they might be linked to Qu Wei’s disappearance.

She immediately climbed out of bed, changed into men’s clothing, and was just about to leave the room when she heard several horses approaching the inn.

“Innkeeper, prepare hot water for the upper room, and quickly arrange it.”

“Alright.”

An idea struck Qi Yue’s mind.

If it wasn’t Qin Zhongyu, then who could it be?

He had actually managed to track her down so quickly.

While she pondered, she heard Qin Zhongyu had already entered the inn, starting his inquiries.

“Innkeeper, I need to ask about something. Have a man and a woman checked into this inn recently? The man around thirty years of age, and the girl roughly seventeen or eighteen…”

Qi Yue had already descended the stairs, and upon hearing this, she directly interrupted him.

“Are you looking for me?”

It was just before dawn, the sky nearly bright but not quite there, and the inn still had candles lit, aside from the area around the counter, everything else remained engulfed in darkness.

This voice, clear as a lark emerging from a valley, suddenly rang out from behind the hall, instantly sweeping away the fatigue of Qin Zhongyu’s overnight rush, like drinking a bowl of heart-calming nectar.

Upon looking again, who could it be if not Qi Yue emerging slowly?

Her black hair was tied up high, only held by a hairpin of unknown material, unassuming yet eye-catching.

Clothed in the most ordinary men’s attire, yet it seemed unusually enchanting on her.

Her skin was fair as snow, illuminating the dim half of the hall.

Especially those eyes, like oceans of stars, so bright they left nowhere to hide.

Qin Zhongyu was immediately stunned, taking a long while to come back to his senses with the prompting of his sister, Qin Lingwei.

“… Miss Qi Yue is indeed here… My sister and I were passing by, and we thought we’d inquire.”

Qi Yue let out a cold snort, mercilessly calling him out.

“Really just passing by? Who would have thought His Highness King Yan would be on the same route as us, to even meet in this small South Gate Town?”

Qin Zhongyu’s expression faltered.

“You’re investigating me?”
