Chapter 63: Something Is Wrong... Something Is Definitely Wrong!
"Ah!"
Ye Qingyi didn't expect Xiao Yin to be so direct. She felt a strong arm around her waist, and two blushes appeared on her mature and charming face. Her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated, and she lowered her head subconsciously.
Jiang Zhu was so embarrassed that she almost buried her head in her chest. Her body was stiff and she dared not move.
Senior…Senior's hand…
Xiao Yin didn't care about their little thoughts, and the Spirit power in his body surged slightly.
"Hold on tight."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yin exerted force on his feet, hugged the two women with different styles, and flew away at a low altitude in the direction indicated by Ye Qingyi!
The wind whistled in their ears, and the forest below them retreated rapidly.
Ye Qingyi leaned in Xiao Yin's arms, feeling the support, and looked at the boy's stern profile, feeling mixed emotions.
There was relief, worry, doubt, and also a hint of... a strange throbbing that even she couldn't ignore.
As for why Xiao Yin's strength had skyrocketed to such an incredible level in this year, seeing that Jiang Zhu was also present, Ye Qingyi could only suppress the doubts in her heart for the time being because she was not clear about the other party's background.
After flying at low altitude for about ten minutes, Xiao Yin, based on Ye Qingyi's vague guidance and mental exploration, landed accurately at the clearing in the forest where she was initially ambushed.
The moment he landed, Xiao Yin released his arms around the two women's waists.
Ye Qingyi and Jiang Zhu both staggered slightly, the blush on their faces still lingering, especially Jiang Zhu, who lowered her head and dared not look at Xiao Yin, her fingers subconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes.
However, the scene before them quickly dispelled the charming atmosphere.
The open space was in a mess, with huge holes, charred soil, broken trees, and blood sprayed everywhere...
But other than that, there was nothing.
There was no body of the man in black, and no sign of Sister Wang.
"Sister Wang..."
Ye Qingyi's heart sank suddenly. Her voice trembled as she looked around anxiously, "Sister Wang! Where are you?!"
Xiao Yin frowned slightly, and his powerful Spiritual power spread out in all directions, carefully sensing every inch of space.
After a moment, his eyes fixed on a bunch of fallen bushes not far away.
He walked over slowly.
Ye Qingyi seemed to have a premonition of something, her face turned even paler, and she followed him with unsteady steps.
Pushing aside the dense bushes, a cold body came into view.
She was wearing the uniform of a Ye family guard, which was now badly damaged and soaked in blood.
Her body was covered with hideous wounds. The fatal wound was a huge knife wound on her chest that almost split her in half, and a charred hole the size of a bowl in her abdomen.
It was Ye Qingyi's bodyguard, Sister Wang.
"Sister Wang——!"
Ye Qingyi let out a cry, her legs went limp, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
Tears rolled down her face like beads from a broken string. She threw herself beside Sister Wang's body, her shoulders shaking violently, sobbing uncontrollably.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm useless... I've caused you trouble..."
In order to give her a chance to survive, this loyal guard died in battle and even her body was not preserved.
Xiao Yin stood aside, watching the scene silently.
He had some impression of this Sister Wang. Back in the Star Dou Forest, it was she who protected Ye Qingyi. She had a calm personality and considerable strength.
He didn't expect that the next time they met would be forever.
Xiao Yin couldn't help but feel a little sad. In this world, if you don't have enough strength, this is the fate you will end up in.
He squatted down and gently patted Ye Qingyi's shoulders, which were shaking from crying. His voice was much softer than usual:
"My condolences. She fulfilled her duties and deserves respect. May she rest in peace."
Ye Qingyi raised her tearful face and looked at Xiao Yin, with endless gratitude in her sadness:
"Xiao Yin... Thank you so much... If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would..."
She couldn't continue speaking, but just clenched her hands tightly.
Xiao Yin checked the surroundings carefully again, but found nothing. It was obvious that the other party had handled it very cleanly and did not leave any obvious clues.
Apart from the token fragment that had accidentally fallen, no other evidence was found at the scene.
"The other party was very cautious and cleaned up the scene."
Xiao Yin stood up and said to Ye Qingyi, "We can't stay here for long. Let's take Sister Wang back first and let her rest in peace."
Ye Qingyi nodded with sobs. At this moment, she was exhausted and relied entirely on her willpower to support herself.
Then she put away Sister Wang's body.
Seeing this, Xiao Yin hugged Ye Qingyi and Jiang Zhu again.
"Let's go back to Heaven Dou City first."
This time, both women were no longer nervous. Ye Qingyi was immersed in sadness, while Jiang Zhu remained silent and just secretly looked at Xiao Yin's cold profile.
Jiang Zhu: Although the senior may be scary sometimes, he is really reliable!
Xiao Yin took the two of them and took off into the air again, flying towards Heaven Dou City at a faster speed.
After entering Heaven Dou City, Xiao Yin first sent Jiang Zhu back to the gate of Blue Tyrant Academy.
"Go back and have a good rest. Today's training is enough. Also, don't tell anyone about what happened today." Xiao Yin reminded Jiang Zhu.
Jiang Zhu nodded vigorously: "Yes! Senior, don't worry, I will never tell anyone! Senior, Master Ye, you should also be more careful."
She looked at Ye Qingyi worriedly, then walked into the Academy, looking back every few steps.
After sending Jiang Zhu back, Xiao Yin took Ye Qingyi and went directly to the Ye family mansion.
-----------------
Somewhere deep in a dark and damp cave, a man in black was leaning against the cold stone wall, gasping for breath.
He pulled off the shattered mask, revealing a middle-aged face, now distorted by pain.
There was a deep claw mark on his chest, almost revealing the bones, and one of his arms hung limply, with an unnatural twist at the joints.
"Ahem... ahem... damn woman! A mere Soul Emperor, yet she's so ruthless when risking her life!"
He looked down at the horrific scar on his chest, a trace of palpitation and fear flashed in his eyes.
"Speaking of which...A-Da and the other two went after Ye Qingyi, why haven't they returned in such a long time?"
He frowned and listened attentively to the noise outside the cave, but there was nothing except the sound of the wind.
"Three attack-type Soul Emperors, dealing with a wounded support-type Soul Emperor...isn't this a piece of cake?
Even if Ye Qingyi's Nine-Hearted Begonia is good at endurance, but it's just a healing system, how can it really turn the world upside down?"
A trace of uneasiness quietly rose in his heart.
"Could it be...something unexpected happened? That shouldn't be the case...I've already explored that area, and there wouldn't be any strong people passing by at this time.
Or... is that woman Ye Qingyi hiding some hidden card? Or... has the Ye family secretly arranged other guards?"
Something is wrong... something is extremely wrong!
"Three Soul Emperors, hunting down a single auxiliary... Even if she managed to escape, it's impossible for the three of them to not be able to send back a single message! Unless..."
A thought that he didn't want to believe popped up in his mind, making him shudder.
"Unless they encountered an irresistible force, unable to even escape or report... they were instantly...
Damn it! What the hell happened?!"
