The next day, Ying Wuji also woke up early and went to the theater to watch the final rehearsal before the opening.

He didn't make any comments, only praises.

In fact, he had many opinions, as the current performance of the theater was quite different from what he had seen in his previous life. But no one had ever said that the previous life was right.

The current theater had a strong personal style of Hua Chao, and he felt that he was just a support and didn't have the qualifications to interfere.

"I didn't expect the number one mouth of Jiangcheng, Ying Duoduo, to be so gentle today. Is this a special encouragement?"

Hua Chao lightly tapped Ying Wuji's shoulder, her face full of gentle smiles.

In the past, when Ying Wuji came to watch the play, he could always find many flaws. Although she was happy to see them, she couldn't help but feel anxious.

Being praised so much today, she was both surprised and felt like her efforts were not in vain.

Ying Wuji twitched his mouth, "The number one mouth of Jiangcheng, Ying Duoduo... Where did you hear that from?"

Hua Chao covered her mouth and chuckled, "The whole Jiangcheng knows. Who doesn't know that you wrote two poems at the literary meeting, one satirizing the Prime Minister and one satirizing Pingling Jun?"

"Alright!"

Ying Wuji shrugged. These gossiping masses were making a fuss over such insignificant achievements.

If they knew that he wanted to be Luo Yan's father and was even cursing Lao Bi Deng at Ying Yue, they might give him some other nickname.

Hua Chao looked at the sky, "It's getting late, we should also set off!"

"Okay!"

Ying Wuji nodded and helped everyone put their things on the carriage, watching them head towards the north of the city.

He leisurely strolled towards the south of the city.

Considering the time, it would be better to go find that tricky princess after lunch.

During this interval, it would be a good time to buy a sugar-coated hawthorn.

Since he wanted to mine, he had to have the attitude of a miner. He couldn't both try to seduce the girl and act like a proud dragon.

"But wouldn't this be too flirtatious?"

"What if the girl thinks I have feelings for her?"

After all, she had cultivated the Jade Maiden technique, and no matter how you looked at it, she didn't seem interested in getting married.

"And there's also Zhao Ling, who is so loyal to me. I feel like I'm cheating on him."

"Sorry, Zhao Xiong, the person I want to marry is you, but this mine is just too tempting!"

Ying Wuji didn't expect that he would be caught in a moral dilemma for such a political marriage. He also didn't understand why every matchmaker in the marriage market would be in such a difficult situation like him.

After buying the sugar-coated hawthorn, he went straight back to Shangmo Bookstore, leisurely waiting for lunch.

After all, Shangmo Bookstore was now a large company with fifty employees. Naturally, the employees couldn't eat outside every day, so Ying Wuji had hired a few chefs from the neighboring restaurant to cook for the workers. His prestige in the bookstore was not without reason.

Not to boast or criticize, the food was delicious.

But compared to what the little maid Bai Zhi made, it always felt like something was missing.

He turned his head and glanced at the place where Bai Zhi was in seclusion. Although it had only been less than ten days since he last saw her, it felt like months had passed. However, the little maid's aura had become more harmonious, and her essence, energy, and spirit had reached the peak of the eleventh level. She should be coming out of seclusion soon.

After all, it was useless to break through to the twelfth level just by secluding oneself. It had to rely on opportunities.

That's why the upcoming Hundred Schools Gathering in a few days was crucial.

Last time at the literary meeting, he had made a work that condensed a trace of unknown fortune. Although it was not much, it constantly nourished his spirit, and he felt greatly benefited.

The fortune rewarded at the Hundred Schools Gathering would definitely be the surplus from the works of the masters of the Hundred Schools. It would definitely be more powerful than his mere "I am not a silkworm farmer."

If he could assimilate these fortunes, the probability of breaking through to the twelfth level would undoubtedly increase.

"Have you all finished eating?"

"We're done!"

"Then clean up the table, I'm going out!"

"Okay! Take care, Young Master!"

Ying Wuji leisurely left the bookstore, preparing to find a place near the palace to hide and use his invisibility technique. But he saw someone running towards him in a panic.

This person was a new employee of the bookstore, recently married, and the young couple were very close, so they didn't eat in the bookstore at noon but hurried home.

"Dali, slow down. We haven't started work in the afternoon yet."

"Young Master! Something bad happened!"

Dali's face was extremely ugly, and he stopped, panting heavily. He leaned against a tree by the roadside and vomited, throwing up all the food he had eaten at noon.

"What happened?"

Ying Wuji's face turned cold. If he remembered correctly, Dali lived in the north of the city, very close to the Liu family where the theater was located.Could it be...

What you fear will come true!

Da Li took out a shoe from his pocket: "I had lunch at my doorstep at noon, and there was a commotion near the back door of the Liu family. I heard that Miss Hua Chao seemed to have gone to the Liu family, so I went over to take a look. But I didn't see anything, only a few carriages driving away. I didn't follow them, but I picked up this!"

"Damn!"

Ying Wuji recognized it at a glance. This thing was indeed the shoe of Hua Chao's personal maid, Xiao Liu.

The timing of this play was perfect. They couldn't have left the Liu family. Xiao Liu was forcibly taken away, and Hua Chao was probably not spared either.

How dare the Liu family do this?

Kidnapping Luo Yan's daughter in Jiangcheng?

At this moment.

He felt a burning sensation in his chest and felt around, only to find a piece of charred talisman paper.

The amulet given by Jiang Taiyuan was a dual talisman. Once the mother talisman was activated, the child talisman would ignite.

This meant that Hua Chao must have encountered danger.

Da Li panicked a little: "Young Master! What should we do now?"

Ying Wuji's face was full of killing intent: "What did the carriage look like?"

Da Li was almost crying: "I don't know! I was too far away to see clearly!"

Ying Wuji spat and took off a jade pendant from his waist: "Summon all the brothers with cultivation in the bookstore to the north of the city, and then you go to the Minister's Mansion with this and tell Luo Yan about this matter. Then go to the Kingdom Qian Embassy and say you want to see the supervisor. The former must be told in person, and the latter, if you can see him, see him; if not, forget it."

"Yes!"

"Hurry!"

Ying Wuji gritted his teeth and directly cut the reins of the carriage in the bookstore, leaping onto the horse's back.

"Go!"

He rode away, causing angry curses from the pedestrians on the street.

Riding horses was strictly forbidden in Jiangcheng. It wouldn't be long before the government office came to the embassy. Although they would consider the face of Kingdom Qian to some extent, they would definitely impose a fine.

Ying Wuji couldn't care less about that. The duration of the amulet was only half an hour, and it took at least fifteen minutes for Da Li to run over. He couldn't afford to waste any time.

He rushed all the way to the Liu family in the north of the city.

The birthday banquet of the Liu family was still going on, but there was no sound of singing.

From a distance, the guards guarding the gate of the Liu family drew their swords and stopped Ying Wuji, shouting sternly, "Who goes there?"

"Your grandpa!"

Ying Wuji didn't hesitate at all and drew his sword to meet them.

Both of these people were in the Nascent Soul Realm, but they had fallen to the lowest rank of the seventh-grade Spiritual Embryo Realm by guarding the gate for the Liu family. They were not much stronger than his current cultivation level of the Triple Stage Eleventh Layer.

He directly dismounted, his left hand clenched, and his right hand drew his sword.

Imprisonment!

True Solution of the Stabbing!

With just one encounter, both of their shoulders were stabbed with transparent holes, their weapons fell, and they lay on the ground howling in pain.

Ying Wuji kicked the door open and rushed into the main hall. Everyone immediately looked over.

Although the Liu family was far inferior to the Wei and Han families, they were still considered a prestigious family. There were many experts in the Nascent Soul Realm present. When they saw Ying Wuji rushing in with a murderous aura, they all stood up to meet him.

But they found that they couldn't move forward at all.

Ying Wuji didn't want to waste a moment. He quickly turned around and approached the old master while walking backward.

His cultivation level was too low, so he couldn't suppress everyone. Therefore, the moment he entered the door just now, he activated the Law of Purgatory. The rule he set was that everyone could only walk backward and couldn't use their true energy.

It was difficult for anyone to react in such a short period of time.

And in this short period of time, Ying Wuji's sword was already at the old master of the Liu family's neck.

"Tell me! Where is Hua Chao!"

"Young Master Wuji, you can't..."

"Slap!"

A slap landed, knocking out his few remaining teeth. With bleeding gums, he couldn't use his true energy. He was no different from an ordinary old man in front of the young and strong Ying Wuji. If he angered Ying Wuji, even if he killed the Prime Minister, he would be protected! If you don't want your Liu family to be wiped out, speak up!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces turned ugly.

The old master of the Liu family was also scared pale, his voice trembling: "The day before yesterday, the young master of the Wei family said he wanted to attend the birthday banquet and specifically requested to listen to the play of the theater troupe in the city. So I invited the theater troupe, but before the play started, the people were kidnapped! Young Master, this matter really has nothing to do with the Liu family!"

"Understood!"

Ying Wuji didn't continue to trouble him and directly threw him to the ground, quickly leaving the Liu family.

A mere Liu family really didn't dare to do anything to Hua Chao.

But the situation was still caused by their licking of Wei Teng, injuring three people was already letting them off lightly.

Young Master of the Wei family!

Wei Teng!This bastard has gone crazy? He even dared to touch Hua Chao? Does the Wei family want to break ties with Luo Yan?

For the full version, visit [ pawread.com ].

He didn't have time to think about it and directly rode his horse towards the Deer House.

He knew this place, after all, Wei Teng is a well-known playboy in Jiangcheng, and his Deer House is a place that all men in the capital yearn for. He had once invited Ying Wuji to broaden his horizons, but was rejected.

If he kidnapped Hua Chao, he definitely wouldn't dare to make a scene.

Since it's so close to the Deer House, it's very likely that they are there.

Half of the time of an hour has already passed, and Ying Wuji felt extremely anxious!

...

Deer House.

"Spit!"

Wei Teng spat on the ground and cursed, "You bunch of useless trash, how can't you even break a simple turtle shell?"

There were many people present, mostly some hangers-on.

There were also guards arranged in the Deer House, all of them experts at the Embryonic Breathing Realm, but even with so many people working together, they still couldn't break the protective talisman.

Those guards had already been cursed by Wei Teng's female relatives for eighteen generations, and could only lower their heads and receive punishment.

A knowledgeable playboy said, "Brother Wei! This talisman seems to be from the Yang Zhu lineage. The person who drew the talisman has extremely high cultivation. We definitely can't break it, we can only wait for it to expire!"

"Damn it! Even these cowards are against me!"

Wei Teng cursed and then looked at Hua Chao, "You're really something! Wait until the talisman expires, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

Hua Chao's face had already turned pale at this point. She naturally knew Wei Teng. When she first returned to Jiangcheng alone, she had suffered a lot from the Wei family. Later, with Luo Yan's mediation, the two sides were able to coexist peacefully.

She had never experienced such a thing before, and fear spread through her heart for a moment.

But she didn't lose her composure because of it. She gritted her teeth and said, "Wei Teng! You know the relationship between Luo Xiang and me. Luo Xiang is both a relative of your Wei family and an ally in the court. Do you know the consequences of what you're doing?"

"Consequences?"

Wei Teng's eyes turned red, and his mental state was obviously abnormal. "What consequences can there be? It's nothing more than Luo Yan marrying you off to me, further strengthening the relationship between our families! "

Hua Chao's heart tightened. "You, you're talking nonsense! If you persist in your wrongdoings, Luo Xiang will definitely break ties with your Wei family. You won't be able to bear the responsibility!"

Wei Teng laughed loudly, "You cheap woman! Do you really think that as a mere illegitimate daughter, you have such a great weight in Luo Yan's heart? Just wait, I'll take care of your maid in front of you and give us an early boost! You guys, continue breaking this turtle shell!"

"Yes!"

Several guards received the order and continued trying to break the protective talisman.

However, one of the playboys became timid, "Brother Wei! This matter seems a bit inappropriate. Hua Chao is indeed Luo Xiang's precious pearl. If this matter becomes big..."

"Become big?"

Wei Teng laughed in anger and kicked the playboy to the ground, "Your mother's big! Our Wei family is the second largest family in the Great Li, second only to the royal family. Luo Yan relied on licking our feet to rise to his current position. I'm willing to marry his illegitimate daughter, and he should be grateful! Are you all afraid? If you're afraid, then get the hell out of my Deer House and never come back!"

After exchanging glances, the playboys sighed and bid their farewells one after another, leaving more than half of them.

They were indeed playboys, but they also knew what matters they should get involved in and what matters they shouldn't.

They didn't know about Luo Xiang and Hua Chao's relationship before, but with one thing after another happening recently, Hua Chao had offended Luo Xiang multiple times, yet she still stayed outside the Minister's Mansion peacefully. Luo Xiang's love for this illegitimate daughter was evident to everyone.

They didn't know if the Wei family and the Minister's Mansion would break ties because of this matter.

But if they dared to get involved, they would definitely die without knowing how they died.

Whether this Deer House would still exist by then was uncertain. If they didn't come, then they didn't come!

They didn't know why, but Wei Teng suddenly dared to kidnap Hua Chao.

"You bunch of useless trash!"

Wei Teng cursed and in an instant, only Ji Su and his followers from the Wei family were left in the scene.

Ji Su also took a step back, "Brother Wei! I won't disturb you and Miss Hua Chao's good time. I'll take my leave..."

"Take your mother's leave, come back here!"

Wei Teng grabbed him and pulled him back, "It was your idea, do you still want to leave? You guys, tie up that maid and let Young Master Su also participate a bit!"

Ji Su secretly laughed in his heart but put on a panicked expression, "Brother Wei! I suggested that you marry her properly, but I didn't say you should do these things! I really dare not touch this maid!"

As he spoke, Wei Teng's followers had already dragged Xiao Liu over.Xiao Liu was terrified. Although she had the cultivation of the Fetal Metamorphosis realm, she was no match for so many people. Moreover, when she was at the Liu family, she had already been seriously injured while protecting Hua Chao. Now, she had no ability to resist at all.

Wei Teng snorted coldly, "Master Su, please proceed!"

"No, no, no... This is absolutely unacceptable!"

Ji Su waved his hands repeatedly, trying to extricate himself from this matter. He couldn't get his hands dirty, "Brother Wei! Although I, Ji Su, am not a good person, I really can't force myself on a woman!"

"You're useless too! Then I'll do it!"

Wei Teng cursed and began to tear at Xiao Liu.

Hua Chao was anxious, "Wei Teng! What kind of skill is it to lay your hands on her?"

Wei Teng sneered, "What? You want to protect your little maid? Then you take off the talisman paper yourself, undress and pose, and I'll let her go. How about that?"

"You!"

Hua Chao was so anxious that her body was trembling. She tried to reach for the talisman paper, but it was like touching a hot iron, and she reflexively withdrew her hand. After several attempts, she still failed.

Wei Teng snorted coldly, "Pretentious!"

Hua Chao watched as Xiao Liu's clothes were torn off piece by piece. She couldn't help but cover her face with her hands and burst into tears.

Despair filled Xiao Liu's eyes, but suddenly a fierce determination surged within her. She reached out and grabbed Wei Teng's sensitive area.

Wei Teng was in pain and instantly became furious, slapping her hard.

Xiao Liu was hit hard and fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Bad luck!"

Wei Teng cursed. Without Xiao Liu's resistance, he suddenly lost interest.

Just then.

"Murder!"

"Murder!"

"Master Wuji, it's really not our fault!"

The cries of alarm came from outside, from the young masters who had just left.

Hua Chao's eyes widened, first showing a hint of joy, then indescribable horror.

There were many masters of the Fetal Metamorphosis realm with five or six spiritual fetuses here. Ying Wuji was no match for them!

She hurriedly shouted, "Wuji! Don't come! They have too many people..."

A ferocious look appeared on Wei Teng's face, "He's here so soon! You guys, stop him!"

"Brother Wei, don't worry, with me here, he can't hurt you!"

Ji Su quickly volunteered and rushed out.

Seeing Ying Wuji's murderous face, he felt a chill in his heart and immediately bowed ninety degrees, "Master Wuji! Wei Teng has gone mad, I can't stop him! Miss Hua Chao is fine, you go save her, I'll go to the Minister's Mansion for help!"

With that, he turned to leave.

Ying Wuji had already smelled the scent of conspiracy. Although he didn't understand the whole story, how could he let his enemy Ji Su go?

He swung his sword to block him, but Ji Su stuck a teleportation talisman on his leg and disappeared in the blink of an eye!

"Damn! He was so well-prepared!"

Ying Wuji had already understood something. Looking at the door of the deer room, he felt like he was looking at a huge trap.

But this was a trap he had to enter!

He drew his sword and rushed in, passing through the winding corridors and quickly reaching the deepest secret room.

Seeing him burst in, Hua Chao felt like the sky was falling.

"Wuji, you, you should leave quickly!"

"Leave my ass! Trust me, it's okay!"

Ying Wuji unusually cursed at her, quickly throwing her another protective talisman.

Wei Teng's face had turned ice-cold. He waved his hand, "Close the door!"

The heavy iron door fell instantly, shaking the entire deer room.

Now, no one could get out.

A fight of trapped beasts.
