Heartbreak Poison Pill, Secret Passages Form a Network! (Bonus Chapter for Hu Zhong Ri Yue 398/1300)

Gongsun Zhi had been lost?

Though it was not hard to imagine Cang Xingyu's guilty, conflicted expression from his tone, the matter was of great importance. Ye Weiming immediately sent a message to press him for details. "What exactly happened?"

"It's embarrassing to say."

Cang Xingyu explained helplessly, "Following your plan, I secretly trailed Gongsun Zhi the entire way. I'm certain he never noticed me."

"After Gongsun Zhi returned to his room, I didn't immediately follow him in. Instead, I hid in a concealed spot outside the window and readied my bow and arrows. I watched his every move through the window, intending to launch a surprise attack the moment he took out the Jueqing Pill. Just as you said, I planned to take advantage of the Love Flower Poison in his system and snatch the Jueqing Pill."

Ye Weiming immediately asked, "And then?"

"Then, for some reason, Gongsun Zhi seemed to be startled by something and suddenly shut all the doors and windows. Realizing something was wrong, I rushed in to check, only to find that Gongsun Zhi had vanished."

"I don't know whether the killing intent I accidentally released while drawing my bow alerted him, or whether he discovered me for some other reason."

"Only after entering Gongsun Zhi's room did I discover that the old bastard's room had a back door wide open. I suspect he escaped through it."

Ye Weiming nodded unconsciously, though he knew the other party could not see it.

Then he sent another message to reassure him. "It's fine. Don't panic yet. He definitely won't get away."

As he spoke, he leaped ten zhang into the air. Then, using the sword-riding technique of the Parting Sword Style and the special properties of the Dragon Wings of Heaven, he hovered in midair.
