The Truth Revealed, Someone Else Responsible
Master Qin's Storage Bag was thoroughly searched by the people of the Carefree King, but for that person, apart from the Golden Leaf Rice Seeds, there was nothing that caught their eye.
"Hero, please accept this!"
Master Qin stuffed the paper packets into Chen Ning's hands.
Zhao Yinyin retorted irritably, "That's not what we want. We want the Golden Leaf Rice Seeds. Do you know how serious the impact on the dynasty would be if they fell into the hands of bandits?"
Upon hearing this...
Master Qin's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Who are you?"
She is a royal princess.
Chen Ning spoke up from the side.
Princess Xuanyin?
Master Qin immediately called out the name, then bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Princess. I was rude just now; please forgive me."
"Good to know. Now hurry up and tell this princess everything you know: who stole the Golden Leaf Rice Seeds? And why have you come to the Carefree King again?"
Zhao Yinyin hadn't finished speaking.
Master Qin then knelt down and said, "Princess, please make sure my family is settled, otherwise I will not dare to tell the truth!"
"Alright! This princess agrees."
Zhao Yinyin readily agreed.
Although she has escaped, she still has subordinates at her disposal, so protecting Master Qin's family is still a piece of cake.
Soon.
Master Qin led Chen Ning and Zhao Yinyin to a farmhouse.
But the moment Master Qin pushed open the door, he was struck dumb, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot, and he roared as he rushed into the room.
Chen Ning and Zhao Yinyin exchanged a glance and followed them inside.
Inside the room, a strong stench of blood filled the air.
At this moment, Master Qin knelt before the corpses, weeping bitterly.
Master Qin's entire family of seven was brutally murdered.
Just as Master Qin was overwhelmed with grief, a bloody hand slowly rose.
Master Qin hurriedly scrambled over.
"Mother! Mother, please hold on! Your son is unfilial, your son is unfilial!"
Master Qin turned to Zhao Yinyin for help. Zhao Yinyin hurriedly went over, but shook her head. The old woman was already on her deathbed.
There was no way to reverse the situation.
"Son... those people... those people went to find your friend... you must... you must tell him to be careful!"
After saying that...
The old woman then stopped breathing.
"Ah!!!"
Master Qin wailed in agony, his liver and gallbladder felt shattered.
Then.
He suddenly rushed to Zhao Yinyin and pleaded, "Princess, they must... they must have gone to find Mr. Du! You must go and save him!"
Who is Mr. Du?
Zhao Yinyin asked.
"It's the Golden Leaf Rice Seeds cultivated by Mr. Du!"
At this moment, Master Qin finally revealed the truth.
"What?!"
Zhao Yinyin frowned. "Where is he?"
"Spirit Fish City!"
"Then what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go!"
"I must stay here to handle the aftermath. Once the princess finds Mr. Du, all you need to do is show him this Ancient Cage Grass, and he will understand."
"Alright, be careful then. I'll have my men come down here to protect you."
"Thank you for your trouble, Princess."
Master Qin spoke with deep sorrow.
After Chen Ning and Zhao Yinyin accepted the Ancient Cage Grass, they pushed open the door to leave.
But then...
In all directions.
A group of figures surrounded them.
"Were there prior plans?"
Zhao Yinyin looked around and found that everyone there was a formidable expert, including more than a dozen Eighth Rank and Ninth Rank powerhouses.
Among them are two Grandmaster.
"To be able to abduct someone from the prince's courtyard, one must be at least Ninth Rank expert. Truly remarkable."
The leader, a Grandmaster dressed in black, spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Gentlemen, there is an order to things. Abducting someone on the Prince's territory is tantamount to slapping the Prince in the face. And in the entire Myriad Spirits Imperial Dynasty, apart from the one on the throne, no one can slap the Prince in the face."
Another Grandmaster, dressed in a yellow robe, spoke indifferently.
I'll fight you to the death!
At this moment.
Master Qin rushed out of the house with bloodshot eyes, but Chen Ning stopped him. However, Master Qin had clearly lost his mind at this moment, and Chen Ning, finding it troublesome, knocked him unconscious.
"It's understandable that Carefree King wanted the Golden Leaf Rice Seeds, but wasn't it too much to cause the deaths of Master Qin's entire family?"
Zhao Yinyin's gaze was icy as she coldly questioned him.
"What nonsense are you spouting? When did the Prince ever harm his family members?"
The black-clad Grandmaster suddenly realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise, "Uncle Wang? You are... Princess Xuanyin?"
"Since you've already done it, why deny it?"
Zhao Yinyin's delicate eyebrows were cold and aloof.
Chen Ning whispered, "It really doesn't seem to be them. When we came, I checked the area and there was definitely no ambush. They must have rushed here after learning that Master Qin was missing."
"Not them?"
Zhao Yinyin was also taken aback. "Who could it be?"
"We'll have to think about that later. Right now, let's figure out how to get out of here."
Chen Ning said this.
The black-clad Grandmaster sneered, "Your Highness, if you manage to escape after we've arrived, wouldn't we be disgracing our title of Grandmaster...?"
"I am a princess! How dare you do anything to me? My father will not forgive you!"
Zhao Yinyin flashed coldly as she looked at the other person.
Both Grandmaster hesitated. The prince only ordered them to bring the person back, but who knew that the person who kidnapped Master Qin would be the princess? Princess Xuanyin was extremely favored by the emperor, so they dared not act rashly.
Just then...
A clear, cheerful laugh rang out, "Let them leave."
