“Has there been an incident in the past where several inns had guests go missing on the same night?” Gu Qingluan asked Feng Tianlan.
Feng Tianlan’s magnetic voice echoed in her mind, “This is the first time.”
The first time?
Gu Qingluan squinted her eyes.
Could it be a coincidence that both sides had matching targets this time?
Just thinking about it didn’t provide any answers.
Gu Qingluan placed Xiaonan and Yuanxi into the Stellar s.p.a.ce and got up from the bed.
“I’ll go take a look.”
“I’ll go with you,” Feng Tianlan said. He couldn’t let her go alone right now.
While he was aware of her formidable strength with few individuals on the Cloud Plains Continent who could rival her, she remained a prime target for those operating in the shadows, leaving her in a precarious position.
Feng Tianlan transmitted a message to Jing Feng so they wouldn’t panic looking for them later.
Then the two of them flew towards the inn where the incident had occurred.
Xinyue Inn.
It was three streets away from Prosperous Guest Inn.
At this moment, Xinyue Inn was tense.
A large group of people and horses surrounded the inn, and everyone inside the inn was summoned to the lobby. The lobby was also surrounded by a group of people.
In the lobby, a seemingly harmless young man sat on a long bench, emitting a compelling aura at this moment. He stared sharply at the kneeling Xinyue Innkeeper. “If anything happens to my cousin, all of you will pay for it!”
The innkeeper trembled with fear. “Sir, please calm down. This matter has nothing to do with Xinyue Inn. Recently, there have been many disappearances in Yeyu City, and I’ve already warned everyone to be careful…”
“Enough, stop talking!” the young man interrupted him.
The innkeeper immediately fell silent.
A tall figure that seemed like the leader of the guards entered.
The young man looked at him. “What’s the situation?”
The tall man shook his head. “We’ve searched the entire inn, but we couldn’t find any trace of the young master.”
“We’ve checked all the secret pa.s.sages and hidden rooms too?”
“Yes, we’ve checked them all, but there’s nothing.”
Hearing this, the young man’s face darkened.
A heavy atmosphere filled the lobby.
He glanced around at the people in the inn with a sinister look.
“I don’t believe that none of you knew about this. What else do you know? It’s in your best interest to confess voluntarily.”
Everyone in the inn lowered their heads and remained silent.
A ruthless expression crossed the young man’s eyes. “Starting now, every half-hour, one of you will die until my cousin returns. Those who want to live can provide information. Of course, it has to be useful information. If you try to deceive me, you will regret it!”
Whoosh!
The people kneeling in the lobby couldn’t help but stir.
“What else do you want us to say? We’ve said everything we know!”
“Innkeeper, you need to figure out a solution. I don’t want to die.”
The Xinyue Innkeeper’s face was not any better than the others, in fact, it was worse.
He already faced the young man’s intense questioning earlier.
Despite being only in his teens, the young man’s imposing presence had scared him out of his wits.
Now, he didn’t know what to do.
He already said everything that should and shouldn’t be said.
He couldn’t just make things up, right? Moreover, if the other party found out he was lying, wouldn’t it anger him even more?
“No one’s talking? Then let’s get started.”
One of the guards stepped forward and grabbed the nearest man.
“No, I don’t want to die! Please, spare me!” It was one of the inn’s waiters, and he was so scared that he had wet himself.
Detecting the stench of urine in the air, a look of disgust flashed in the young man’s eyes.
The guard drew the dagger from his waist and thrust it toward the man’s chest.
The sharp blade gleamed with a cold silver light, making it difficult to keep one’s eyes open.
The people in the inn closed their eyes, unable to bear the imminent b.l.o.o.d.y scene.
Just as the blade was about to pierce the waiter’s chest without hesitation, a surge of force struck, deflecting the blade away.
The tremendous impact shook the guard’s hand, causing it to tremble, and he lost his grip on the sword, which fell to the ground.
The young man’s gaze turned sharp as he looked towards the entrance.
A man and a woman entered against the backlight.
Their faces couldn’t be clearly seen at first.
The young man had to squint his eyes.
In the next moment, he wore a bewildered expression.
“F*ck, why are you here!”
He was so scared that he jumped up from the bench as if it had sprouted thorns..
