Seeing that she had woken up, Murong Hong smiled and said, ‘Tang Gongzi, we meet again!’ Tang Ziyu immediately knew what had happened. This Murong Hong had actually kidnapped her, no wonder the Murong sisters had been smiling so strangely! ‘What do you want?’ Tang Ziyu sat up and straightened her clothes a little. Seeing her calm expression, Murong Hong was a little surprised. ‘I just want to play a few more tunes with you, Gongzi. But I don’t think the people at Xiao Yun Villa will agree, so I asked Xiao Fu to invite you. We’ll soon be in Fenghuang Town. From there we can go to one of the Murong family mansions, and we can exchange ideas there.’
‘Aren’t you afraid that Mu Xiu Tian will kill you?’ “Him? He won’t, because he is a chivalrous man with feelings. He will chase after you, but he won’t be able to find you or me.” “How is that possible?” ’Of course it is. Do you know why the Murong family has survived for so long? It’s not just martial arts, we also have a secret technique: disguise!’
Cheng Ying saw with his own eyes that Xiao Fu had moved and abducted Tang Ziyu. He knew that this would end the friendship he had wanted to maintain with the Murong family. But it was for the best. If Tang Ziyu had ended up in the hands of the Murong family, his eldest brother would definitely not have been able to get her back. Everyone knew that Murong Hong liked handsome men, but no one expected him to come out and openly take someone. And for some inexplicable reason, he had actually let them go, which made Cheng Ying think for a long time.
His eldest brother was not in a hurry at all. He seemed to know something, and yet he seemed to be waiting for something. It was not until the carrier pigeon returned that he learned that Yue Qing had actually tracked down where they were, and his eldest brother began to deploy the troops. They were going to catch Murong Hong off guard. Cheng Ying wanted to stop them, but could not think of a reason. He wanted to rescue them, but he did not know whether to let that scourge come back.
‘Lao San, what are you going to do?’ Mu Xiaotian looked at his brother. He knew that it was Cheng Ying who had let Xiao Fu and the others go, but he had never said anything because he knew Cheng Ying’s thoughts. Lao San just wanted Tang Ziyu to leave him alone, hoping that he could be a normal man, but now he couldn’t tell the truth for Tang Ziyu’s safety. Moreover, Lao San expected him to do so, but he hoped Lao San would understand that his choice was wrong. ‘I have killed seventeen people, but the one who really defiled Lao Er is still alive, and that person is Murong Hong! I didn’t know it either, but this time when I went out to take care of some business, I discovered a secret. The dagger that Lao Er used to stab himself was actually in the hands of Murong Hong’s concubine, used to cut fruit for him. That dagger was very special, with a very special symbol on the handle. I personally pulled the dagger out of Lao Er’s body, so I remember the symbol. And those masters all carried tokens with that symbol on them. Although I haven’t seen that symbol since, I can guarantee that it’s what I’m looking for.’
‘So you used Tang Zihan as bait?’ “Yes and no. I’m also worried about her, but she was the only one who could trick Murong Hong, and the only way to completely untie Yue Qing’s knot. Besides, in a sense, she is relatively safe.” Only Ziyu could be the bait, because Murong Hong hated women. “But he doesn’t know martial arts, isn’t that dangerous?” ’You’re just now thinking that this is a very dangerous thing?’ Mu Xiaotian stared at him, and Cheng Ying lowered his head: ‘I’m sorry, big brother. I know what to do, I’m willing to go and bring Tang Zihan back.’ ‘We will deal with that Murong Hong and his men, and you, you will be responsible for protecting Tang Zihan. Yue Qing wants to kill that demon with his own hands!’ ‘I know, I will do what I should do.’ Mu Xiaotian knew that the most worrying part of the whole thing was Tang Ziyu, but he believed that Tang Ziyu would not let him down.
On the night that Murong Hong came, Mu Xiaotian told Tang Ziyu his plan, and Tang Ziyu agreed without even thinking, because she knew that only she could uncover the secret from many years ago, and that was the only way to truly make the mark on Yue Qing disappear. Besides, she also knew that Yue Qing and Mu Xiaotian would find a way to protect her, and she also wanted to get back at the sisters who had teased her. She just didn’t know how far the imagined upholding of justice was from the actual death.
