Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 165 - 100: The Taotie Has Escaped! (4k)
Yao Zhi heard this, and the chopsticks in his hand fell straight to the ground.
He trembled all over and asked, "That thing came out of the main building? What about the Crown Prince?"
The servant replied, "Miss Linglong has already gone to see the Crown Prince, but there is no news yet!"
"No news is good news." Yao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
A servant nearby quickly handed over a new pair of chopsticks.
Yao Zhi instinctively took the chopsticks, looking at the full table of dishes, his eyes held a trace of hesitation.
Then, he suddenly realized and lightly slapped himself.
"The Crown Prince’s safety is unknown, and I still want to eat first. I’m so despicable!"
After saying this, Yao Zhi threw the chopsticks aside and shouted, "Come, follow me to protect the Crown Prince!"
At this time, another servant came in quickly from outside.
Yao Zhi immediately recognized this servant as someone also serving at the main building. Seeing him coming in hastily and panting, Yao Zhi’s heart sank.
"Has something happened to the Crown Prince?" Yao Zhi asked, trembling.
The servant was startled for a moment and reflexively asked, "Patriarch, how did you know?"
Yao Zhi shuddered, his face turning instantly pale.
The attendant beside him quickly supported him.
Yao Zhi took a deep breath, looked at the servant, and asked shakily, "You, tell me, what happened to the Crown Prince?"
The servant replied quickly, "Reporting to the master, the Crown Prince just jumped down from the main building!"
Bang!
Yao Zhi’s legs went soft, and he sat down heavily on the ground.
Prince Zhao Yi has no cultivation.
This is something known throughout the world.
Although Yao Zhi did not know why he suddenly jumped out of the building, no matter what happened to Zhao Yi, the Yao Family would be doomed!
Yao Zhi, after all, is the patriarch.
Even though Zhao Yi’s jump scared him out of his wits, he still retained a shred of rationality.
He suppressed the fear in his heart and asked through gritted teeth, "Is the Crown Prince injured?"
The servant shook his head, "The Crown Prince is not injured."
Not injured?
Yao Zhi was first taken aback, then overjoyed, breathing heavily as if he had found hope in the darkest despair.
"Good, good, good!" Yao Zhi said ’good’ three times, "Spread my order, anyone who saved the Crown Prince today will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!"
The servant shook his head again, "Patriarch, no one saved the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince landed safely on his own!"
Huh?
Yao Zhi was puzzled for a moment.
How could that be possible?
Isn’t Prince Zhao Yi without cultivation?
The main building has six floors, thirty feet high. How could an ordinary person jump down from there without incident?
Could it be that the Crown Prince has actually been hiding his abilities all along?
That would be good!
Yao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Whether or not the Crown Prince has been hiding his abilities, as long as no incident occurs in the Yao Family, it’s fine.
Yao Zhi stood up from the ground and asked the servant, "Where is the Crown Prince now?"
The servant shook his head once more, "Reporting to the patriarch, I don’t know."
Huh?
After experiencing this roller-coaster of emotions several times, Yao Zhi’s heart couldn’t take it anymore.
He picked up the chopsticks from the table and threw them at the servant.
"You dog, can’t you say everything at once? What’s going on with the Crown Prince? If you don’t tell me clearly, I’ll deal with you!"
The servant was startled and felt very aggrieved.
He had wanted to say everything at once, but the patriarch kept interrupting him.
Now he’s blaming him?
The servant complained silently in his heart but dared not show the slightest bit of emotion on his face and hurriedly said:
"Reporting to the patriarch, after the Crown Prince jumped down from the main building, when we were just about to go attend to him, he broke through the courtyard wall and rushed out."
"The Crown Prince was too fast, and just as we were about to chase him, we lost him."
"The guards responsible for reconnaissance reported back that the Crown Prince nearly blasted through the entire Yao Family Town in an instant, and now his whereabouts are unknown!"
Hearing this, Yao Zhi was taken aback, "Yao Family Town was penetrated again?"
Upon hearing this, the servant raised his eyes to sneak a peek at Yao Zhi and reported quietly, "Yes, patriarch, the town indeed now has two passages."
Yao Zhi’s mouth twitched hard.
The Yao Race spent thousands of years building Yao Family Town, and everyone thought it was rock solid.
Yet, unexpectedly, it was breached directly.
And it has been breached twice.
Yao Zhi suddenly thought of something and asked the servant:
"Before the Crown Prince, who was it that breached Yao Family Town?"
-----------------
Meanwhile.
Huang Ying heard the commotion inside the room and pushed the door open without hesitation.
She saw Miaoyin Zhenren leaning against the wall, coughing up blood, and was startled.
"Sister Miaoyin, who injured you?"
After speaking, she glanced around the room and didn’t see Zhao Yi, her face instantly turning pale.
"Where... where is the Master?"
"Cough, cough!"
Miaoyin Zhenren coughed up a mouthful of blood and finally managed to catch her breath.
She weakly waved her hand and said feebly, "Don’t worry, he’s fine. The injury on me was inflicted by him!"
"How is that possible?" Huang Ying’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Miaoyin Zhenren was a powerful eighth-level Ascension Realm cultivator, and Zhao Yi had yet to even break through the Mystical Gate.
Even if Miaoyin Zhenren stood still, Zhao Yi wouldn’t be able to hurt her.
Miaoyin Zhenren did not explain.
She looked in the direction where Zhao Yi had broken the window, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
At the same time, she couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Zhao Yi’s state just now resembled the madness of the Zhao family’s lunatic.
But Zhao Yi was not yet twenty, far from the typical madness onset age of sixty.
Moreover, his Mystical Gate had disappeared, making cultivation impossible.
Logically, there was no reason for him to go mad!
Miaoyin Zhenren suppressed the doubts in her heart and asked Huang Ying, "Your face didn’t look good just now. Did something happen?"
Huang Ying remembered the urgent matter and quickly said, "Taotie has run away!"
Miaoyin Zhenren nodded and was unconcerned about Taotie.
The current Great Xia was not the same as the former Heaven-Facing Sect.
Taotie, once a Divine Beast in the Heaven-Facing Sect, was now just Zhao Yi’s punching bag in Great Xia.
If it ran away, so be it.
After all, Zhao Yi never wanted it to begin with.
As long as Taotie didn’t harm anyone, it would be fine.
If it dared cause harm.
The Imperial Guard of Great Xia would surely be eager to send it on to the next life early!
Huang Ying didn’t care about Taotie either.
Not only was Taotie ugly, but it was also a voracious eater.
Huang Ying had long found it displeasing.
Now that Taotie had run off, she was more than happy.
Casually, Huang Ying said, "That ugly thing usually sticks around the Master like a loyal dog, can’t even shoo it away. Just now, it suddenly went crazy, didn’t even eat the beef it loves, and ran straight off!"
Hmm?
Miaoyin Zhenren was slightly intrigued by Taotie’s strange behavior.
But she didn’t dwell on it.
Finding Zhao Yi quickly was now the most important task!
At this moment, Linglong rushed in with a group of people from outside the door.
She first glanced at the injured Miaoyin Zhenren, then at the shattered window, her face turning pale at once.
"Did His Highness the Crown Prince really jump out of the window?"
-----------------
The main character applied medicine to Chi Lian’s wounds and carefully covered her with the red dress again.
His movements were gentle, as if he feared disturbing the beauty.
After finishing, he let out a long breath.
He was about to reach out to check if Chi Lian had a fever when, as he looked up, he found a pair of clear black-and-white eyes watching him coldly.
The main character was startled.
"Amitabha."
The main character clasped his hands together and said with concern, "Benefactor, I have applied medicine to your injuries. How do you feel?"
Chi Lian’s eyes were icy, staring unblinkingly at the main character.
His entire being felt uneasy under her gaze.
Just as he was about to falter, Chi Lian parted her red lips, speaking coldly, "You saved me, so I should repay you with my body..."
Before she could finish, her expression suddenly changed.
Then, with a swift motion, she soared into the air, striking a palm towards the outside of the forest.
Seeing this, the main character’s eyes widened.
"Her- her injuries healed that fast?"
Meanwhile.
A deep, rumbling growl came from outside the forest.
"Fa... Jing... Brother... Brother..."
Hearing this, the main character stiffened, his eyes trembling as if struck by lightning!
