In the blink of an eye, a group of three people moved like flying, and after a few whooshes, they appeared in the open space outside the thatched hut.
The three of them were Ye Tian and two Ye family guards who had hurried over from the Ye family.
Ye Tian looked at the thatched cottage in front of him, and then at the surrounding mountains, deep mountains and dense forests. He was a little surprised and wondered in his heart: "Could the news be true? Didn't Ye Qi follow his elder brother to Tianlong City Tianlong Academy? How could he appear in this deep mountain?"
While questioning, Ye Tian took out a red bracelet from his arms and looked at it carefully.
This red bracelet is Ye Qi's personal belongings. To Ye Qi, it is more important than his own life, because this ordinary red bracelet is the only token his mother left him.
It was precisely because of this red bracelet and the blood stains on it that Ye Tian brought the Ye family guards to the deserted valley.
The moment he arrived at the thatched hut, Ye Tian ordered the two guards behind him to start shouting and looking for Ye Qi, but he himself stood blankly in front of the thatched hut, full of thoughts about Ye Qi and his red bracelet.
"Third Young Master! Didn't find Ye Qi!"
"Third Young Master, Ye Qi was not found!"
The two guards who were shouting everywhere looking for Ye Qi told their search results with disappointed faces.
In fact, there was no need for the two guards to report. The moment Ye Tian arrived, he had already carefully discovered traces of fighting on the ground, and even faint traces of blood.
Looking at the red bracelet in his hand and the traces of fighting on the ground, Ye Tian suddenly said in shock: "Not good! Let's go back immediately!"
Ye Tian's face was solemn, as if he thought of something bad that was about to happen. As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared on the way back to the Ye family with a whoosh.
As Ye Tian was on his way home, the story of the origin of Ye Qi's red bracelet, which Xiaoyu, the maid, had told him during the day, came to his mind...
So, when Ye Tian rushed to the thatched hut and saw traces of fighting and blood, he knew that this red bracelet must be hiding a huge conspiracy.
... ...
Yecheng, Luo Mansion.
After Luo Cheng returned to the Luo family from the thatched hut, he did not go home or to the Luo family guard camp. Instead, he ran straight to the Luo Mansion with a confident and complacent look on his face.
Because he knew what defeating Ye Feng would mean to the current Luo family, to the eldest daughter Luo Ying, and to himself!
Luo family's patriarch Luo Zheng and his adopted son Luo Hai both died at the hands of Ye Feng. Even the Luo family elders group, who were the lofty benchmark of martial arts for the Luo family, were defeated by Ye Feng.
Ye Feng, who had risen to such a high reputation, was defeated by himself and became a prisoner.
On his way back, he wanted to see the excited expressions of the Luo family when they knew that he had defeated Ye Feng, and he was secretly delighted in his heart.
In particular, he was eager to see how Luo Ying would look at him with admiration after he knew that he had defeated and captured Ye Feng alive
Thinking of this, Luo Cheng's face was filled with joy, and he said silently: "A blockbuster, a blockbuster!"
He walked through the gate of Luo Mansion and passed through the crisscrossing corridors in the inner courtyard of Luo Mansion that were like a maze, and then he arrived at Tianyue Pavilion, where Luo Ying lived.
Tianyue Pavilion is located in the east-west direction of the Luo family. The wooden structure of the pavilion is divided into three floors. It is located above a stream that flows through the Luo Mansion, and it is like a poetic and picturesque place.
"Miss! The guards of Luo Mansion are waiting for you outside. They said they have important matters to report!" A young maid from Tianyue Tower ran from the first floor to Luo Ying's room on the third floor and said with her head down.
Luo Ying has been in poor health ever since she was poisoned by the Ten Thousand Poison Mountain. She is also depressed because of what happened between her father and Ye Feng.
She sat at the window of her living room, gazing at the vast space outside, feeling mixed emotions.
At this time, she heard the maid come to report, without turning her head, she said silently: "Let Luo Cheng wait in the hall!"
"Yes! Miss!" The maid responded, not daring to turn around and retreated silently.
At this moment, Luo Ying's face was as pale as white paper, and his eyes were dull and lifeless. However, even in such a physical condition, Luo Ying accepted the order from the Luo family elders and officially became the new generation head of the Luo family.
Therefore, Luo Ying is now a core figure commanding the Luo family in Yecheng.
Thinking of Luo Cheng's anxious request for a meeting, Luo Ying's heart trembled deeply, because just yesterday, she heard some things about Ye Feng, Wan Du Mountain, and the thatched cottage.
So, Luo Ying turned around, focused his eyes on the third floor, and walked straight to the hall.
Luo Cheng was already in the hall. He kept wandering around the hall with joy. He was so excited that he kept looking outside the door. He couldn't wait to see Luo Ying's arrival.
Just when Luo Cheng turned around and looked at the hall again, Luo Ying appeared in his sight, walking towards the hall.
"Greetings, young lady!" Luo Cheng saw Luo Ying walking into the hall, and he also bowed his head to greet her.
"Luo Cheng, there's no need to be so polite. Just tell me, did something happen?" Luo Ying had a blank expression on his face.
Luo Cheng looked at the pale and weak Luo Ying in front of him, with a happy smile on his face, and said: "Miss, Luo Cheng has good news to tell you!"
"Good news!" Luo Ying exclaimed, his eyes fixed on Luo Cheng.
Seeing Luo Ying's expectant eyes, Luo Cheng smiled and said, "Miss! Miss, we have caught Ye Feng. We can finally avenge the master."
"Ye Feng! You caught me!" Luo Ying suddenly exclaimed, his face full of confusion and helplessness.
What puzzled her was that with Ye Feng's current martial arts skills, he probably had no rivals in the entire Ye City, let alone Luo Cheng. But how could Luo Cheng say that he defeated Ye Feng
Did they secretly capture him? Or did he have an accident
After returning to the Luo family, Luo Ying originally thought that she could cut off all ties with Ye Feng through the hatred for her father's death and completely forget about Ye Feng.
However, the fact is just the opposite. During the few days she returned to the Luo family, she spent some time with the old woman who saved her. From the old woman, she learned that Ye Feng had gone to the Wandu Mountain alone in order to cure her of the poison in the Wandu Mountain.
When she knew that Ye Feng went to Wandu Mountain for her, although she hated Ye Feng for killing her father, her eyes were involuntarily filled with crystal tears.
Because she also knew Wan Du Mountain, and knew that it was a place where there was no return.
The Wandu Mountain is full of poisons. Once infected by the poison and she is all alone, she feels bad when she thinks about what might happen to Ye Feng.
Because she issued a killing order for Ye Feng, a man who loved her and was willing to risk his life for her.
In fact, Luo Ying is definitely not the kind of person who only cares about his own feelings and ignores his father.
The reason for her change was that she had the same dream for several consecutive days. She dreamed of her father, and her father told her that the murderer who killed him was not Ye Feng, but Luo Hai.
Everything in the dream seemed so real, as if it were real.
However, even though her father told her in the dream that Ye Feng was not the murderer but Luo Hai was the murderer, Luo Ying was deeply confused again.
She also couldn't imagine why Luo Hai would kill her father. Although Luo Hai was only her father's adopted son, in Luo Ying's eyes, they had long gone beyond the relationship of adoptive father and adopted son.
So, she couldn't think of what Luo Hai's motive and purpose was for killing his father
"Miss, Miss..." Luo Cheng shouted in surprise when he saw Luo Ying who was lost in thought with her head down.
Luo Ying came to his senses after hearing Luo Cheng's shouts and said, "Luo Cheng, you just said that Ye Feng was captured!"
"Yes, Miss, the man we caught is Ye Feng, the one who killed the master and Luo Hai. He is now on his way back to the Luo family with Lu Ming! Miss, we can finally avenge the master!" Luo Cheng's face was full of excitement.
Luo Cheng originally thought that when Luo Ying heard him say that Ye Feng had been captured, he would be as excited as he was, and would even praise him highly.
However, when Luo Ying heard that they had captured Ye Feng, he was not excited at all. Instead, he fell into a state of confusion and did not praise Luo Cheng at all.
He looked at Luo Ying silently, wondering in his heart: "What happened to Miss? A few days ago, she swore to kill Ye Feng, why is she suddenly so abnormal today?"
Just when Luo Ying and Luo Chengdu were lost in their own doubts, a report came from outside the hall.
"Miss! Lu Ming is outside asking for a meeting!"
Hearing the voices coming from outside the hall, Luo Cheng suddenly cheered up and said, "Miss, Lu Ming is back, and Ye Feng must have been brought here too!"
Luo Cheng was so excited that he shouted to the outside of the hall as soon as he finished speaking: "Send Lu Ming in, and bring Ye Feng in with him!"
In order to prove in front of Luo Ying that he had indeed defeated and captured Ye Feng, Luo Cheng gave orders outside without Luo Ying's nod.
Just as Luo Cheng finished speaking, several people appeared outside the hall and walked towards it.
The leader was Lu Ming, and behind Lu Ming were two Luo family guards. They were escorting a young man with a bruised face and covered in scars. The young man was none other than Ye Feng, the person that Luo Ying was worried about.
"Lu Ming greets the young lady. Guard Luo, Lu Ming has been ordered to bring Ye Feng back!" Lu Ming said passionately, his eyes showing excitement.
Looking at the expressions on Luo Cheng and Luo Ying's faces, his excited eyes once again revealed the strange color that he had when he offered Luo Cheng the time in the thatched hut.
When Luo Ying looked from Lu Ming to the bruised and battered Ye Feng, her face became even more gloomy than before, and she murmured silently in her heart: "Him! It's really him... How could he really be defeated by Luo Cheng and be injured so badly?"
