The small ship had just flown a short distance when the grenade exploded in mid-air, followed by a slight glow of fire and thick black smoke.

But even so, the small ship continued to fly away.

Hu Yan quickly mobilized all the people he could to search the entire city.

Bai Zhi followed Sang Mo off the warship and just happened to hear Hu Yan ordering a city-wide search. She keenly noticed that Hu Yan was in a bad mood, which seemed to be related to the masked orc just now.

But before she could ask, Yue Junxiao had already put away his armor and said to Yan Yichen with a smug look on his face, "I told you it would work, right?"

Then he ran towards Bai Zhi and looked her over, "Wife, are you okay? Those two weirdos didn't hurt you, did they? You don't know how worried I am about you."

Seeing that Bai Zhi was fine, he started to act coquettishly and complain to her. The 1.9-meter-tall and strong man held Bai Zhi's arm and swayed it like a little bird, pointing at Sang Mo, "Wife, when you were not around, Sang Mo bullied me! He beat me, look at me, he has wounds all over my body!"

As he spoke, he showed Bai Zhi the injuries on his body.

Sang Mo had already walked over to Bai Zhi. Hearing Yue Junxiao's accusations, he sneered, "You're already an adult, yet you're still complaining."

Unexpectedly, Yue Junxiao became even more confident after hearing his words, "What's wrong with me complaining?! That's also your chance to give me a complaint! If you have the guts, go ahead and complain! If I hadn't seen that you were blinded by the illusion and was afraid of hurting you, I would definitely not have withheld my request!"

Sang Mo's narrow, dark eyes raised slightly, "It's not too late now, why not give it a try?"

Bai Zhi was sandwiched between them. They were talking one by one. Bai Zhi wasn't very good at handling this kind of thing, so she said softly, "Sang Mo, why don't you apologize to him?"

Sang Mo simply glanced at Bai Zhi casually. With just one glance, Bai Zhi immediately understood what Sang Mo meant: Apologize? Impossible.

Yue Junxiao immediately became unhappy. He hurt him and was also mean to his wife!

Just as he was about to speak, Bai Zhi stopped him and said, "I'll apply medicine to you when we get back later, okay?"

Yue Junxiao immediately took advantage of the situation, staring at her eagerly, and even deliberately showing some of his injuries to try to gain sympathy, "Then my wife, can you sleep with me tonight?"

Sang Mo saw this and looked at him with disgust. Yue Junxiao saw it too, but he didn't care. As long as his wife favored him, it was fine.

Bai Zhi reached out and touched it. Some of Yue Junxiao's wounds were very deep, and some were blue and purple, which looked a little scary.

She was about to agree when Hu Yan came over after giving her instructions. Bai Zhi thought of the way Hu Yan looked at the masked orc just now and immediately walked over, "Hu Yan."

Hu Yan responded, and Bai Zhi took a closer look. "Do you know that masked orc? You didn't look very happy just now."

Yue Junxiao's hands were suddenly empty, and he watched Bai Zhi go to find Hu Yan.

Sang Mo sneered, as if mocking him.

This immediately aroused Yue Junxiao's dissatisfaction. He glared at him angrily, then turned around and left.

He won't give up.

Hu Yan said seriously, "I came here to tell you this. I may need to leave for a while to confirm something, so I may not be able to take you back."

Hearing this, Bai Zhi nodded without hesitation, "It doesn't matter, they are all here, I can just go back with them."

Hu Yan hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "Wait for me to come back."

Then he let her go and said to Sang Mo and the others, "I'll leave it to you."

Sang Mo glanced at Hu Yan's hand still on Bai Zhi's waist and said, "Don't worry, it won't be lost this time."

At this time, Hu Yan's warship had flown over from the other side and descended from mid-air. Hu Yan let go of Bai Zhi and turned around to board the warship.

After Zelda said goodbye to them, she also boarded the battleship. Baizhi had been rescued, and she must want to be with her beastly husband and express her true feelings. His staying would be of no use except to delay their family.

On the contrary, Hu Yan seemed to have made a new discovery and might need his help more.

Hu Yan's warship headed straight for the palace.

Because he had reported in advance, his warship drove directly in. After getting off the warship, he walked straight towards the prince's palace.

Along the way, the guards respectfully called him the Third Prince.

"Are you suspecting that the masked orc who kidnapped Bai Zhi is Hu Jue? How is that possible! He's been lying there for years!!"

Seeing his silence, Zelda's eyes widened in shock, "How is this possible! He's been lying there for years!!"

Hu Yan looked at the palace approaching ahead, his eyes filled with indescribable complexity. "I also hope it's not what I think, but the scar on his neck was the injury he suffered when he was assassinated at the age of fourteen. I still remember clearly how deep the wound was and how much blood he lost. However, because the wound was poisonous, the S-level healer happened to be away from the palace at the time. The treatment cabin could heal the wound, but it couldn't detoxify it, causing the wound to never heal, leaving behind that scar."

Hu Yan said in a somewhat heavy tone: "I hope I am worrying too much."

Zelda: "So you were so eager to return to the palace just to confirm if it was him?"

He still couldn't believe it. How could Hu Jue, who had long been diagnosed as never waking up, be the mastermind behind this incident?!

But Hu Yan is not the kind of person who acts recklessly. Since he did this, he must be 60% to 70% sure, or even more. Otherwise, he would not have suspected someone so easily, let alone a person who was diagnosed to be unable to wake up.

The two of them arrived at the temple gate smoothly.

Ever since Hu Jue's accident, the number of people here has gradually decreased, and now there are only two or three people in total.

The guard at the door was a little surprised to see Hu Yan coming, but he immediately shouted, "Third Prince?"

Hu Yan nodded slightly, "Open the door."

The guard opened the door immediately.

As Hu Yan and Zelda walked inside, they asked, "Has the Second Prince woken up yet?"

The guard immediately replied: "No, he hasn't woken up once since the accident."

Guard: "Third Prince, please come this way."

In the huge room, there is a treatment cabin, and from the outside you can see a person lying inside.

Hu Yan signaled the guards to open the treatment cabin.

He walked closer and the person lying inside was indeed his second brother. Hu Yan used his mental power to test it in a place where no one had noticed.

Afterwards, Hu Yan simply instructed the guards in a calm voice, "Take good care of the Second Prince."

"Walk."

After saying that, he walked out.

Zelda immediately followed him, and only after they left the Second Prince's palace did he say, "That person in the treatment cabin definitely looks like the Second Prince. Are you overthinking it?"

Hu Yan's eyes were gloomy. "The one in the treatment cabin is not Hu Jue."
