After Zhao Shaojie finished drinking the bowl of medicine and fell into a deep sleep, Zhao Shaochen finally asked, "Dad, what did Master Wang say?"

“Master Wang has already said that to refine the Seven Yin Blood Strengthening Pill, we need the essence blood of seven women born on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month. We have already caught six, and we are still missing one,” Zhao Wanglong said slowly, his expression extremely gloomy.

"What's missing?" Zhao Shao Chen asked again.

"The eldest daughter of the Bai family, Bai Yurou," Zhao Wanglong said slowly.

"Then why aren't you doing it? Dad, what are you waiting for?" Zhao Shao Chen said anxiously.

Zhao Wanglong snorted coldly and said, "Do you think I haven't taken action? I already sent people to capture Bai Yurou once, but she was rescued."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shao Chen realized that Zhao Wang Long had already attacked Bai Yu Rou once before.

It just so happened that something went wrong, which is why it didn't succeed.

Just then, a series of loud knocks sounded on the door.

"Who?" Zhao Shao Chen asked warily.

"It's me."

A middle-aged man's voice came from outside the door.

"So it's Master Wang, please come in," Zhao Shao Chen said immediately with utmost respect.

The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man dressed in a black long robe walked in.

This person is Master Wang Ruyun.

Wang Ruyun is a martial artist and also an alchemist.

He was also a guest retainer of the Zhao family, having served them for over ten years.

Zhao Wanglong and Zhao Shaochen trusted him completely.

Zhao Wanglong had once suffered from cancer, and it was Wang Ruyun who cured him by refining elixirs. This was the main reason why Zhao Wanglong trusted Wang Ruyun.

"Master, has Bai Yurou still not been caught?" Wang Ruyun asked.

Not yet.

Zhao Wanglong shook his head before continuing, "Bai Yurou is the eldest daughter of the Bai family, which is one of the top wealthy families in Binhai City, on par with our Zhao family. Capturing Bai Yurou is not an easy task. Moreover, because we have already taken action against Bai Yurou once before, the Bai family is now extremely cautious. Bai Yurou hardly ever goes out, making it even more difficult to capture her."

“No matter how difficult it is, we must bring Bai Yurou here. Without her, we cannot refine the Seven Yin Blood Strengthening Pill and cure Miss Zhao’s illness,” Wang Ruyun said without hesitation.

“I know, of course I understand this,” Zhao Wanglong said, his brows furrowed.

Zhao Shao Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Master Wang, does it have to be Bai Yu Rou to refine the Seven Yin Blood Strengthening Pill?"

“It’s not that she’s indispensable. We just need to find another 26-year-old woman who was born on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month. But the problem is, in the entire Binhai City, Bai Yurou is probably the only one who meets the criteria,” Wang Ruyun explained.

“Then let’s look elsewhere! There must be women who meet the criteria in other cities!” Zhao Shao Chen said emphatically.

Wang Ruyun shook her head and said, "Finding a suitable woman from other places to use as medicine is certainly possible, but the problem is that there isn't enough time. Miss Zhao's condition is deteriorating too quickly. Based on my judgment, she can only hold on for three more days at most. If we can't find a seventh suitable woman within three days, then Miss Zhao will truly be beyond saving."

Zhao Shao Chen's expression shifted between light and dark, while Zhao Wang Long's eyes grew increasingly sinister.

“It’s definitely too late to find someone who meets the criteria from other places, so we can only pin our hopes on Bai Yurou. Shao Chen, what’s the situation with the Dragon Punishment Division these past few days?” Zhao Wanglong asked.

Zhao Shao Chen immediately replied, "Dad, I've sent people to keep an eye on things. The Long Criminal Division has already opened a case to investigate those missing women, but it's obvious that the Long Criminal Division hasn't found any clues, and both the Long Criminal Division and the Bai family are very calm."

"It seems the other side hasn't discovered our plan yet. In that case, let's act tonight! We must capture Bai Yurou tonight, no matter what!" Zhao Wanglong stood up and said fiercely.

"In that case, we can only ask Elder Zhou to step in. Elder Zhou is a martial artist at the Separation and Union Realm; he can definitely capture Bai Yurou successfully!" Zhao Shao Chen said, clenching his fist.

It was already past midnight.

But Bai Yurou couldn't sleep.

It would be strange if she could sleep well, since there were three men in her room, two of whom were relatively unfamiliar to her.

"Miss Yu Rou, can't you sleep?" Chen Feiyu asked, sitting on the sofa.

"Um."

Bai Yurou sat up and turned on the room light with a wry smile.

The room, which was originally pitch black, suddenly became bright.

Chen Feiyu said with a smile, "Miss Yu Rou, don't worry, the three of us brothers will definitely be able to protect you."

"I know, thank you all." Bai Yurou smiled slightly.

"Miss, you're too kind." Chen Feiyu laughed heartily.

Bai Yurou knew that Chen Feiyu was a martial artist in the late stage of the Qi Movement Realm, but she did not know what realm Chen Feiyu's two junior brothers were.

So she asked curiously, "Mr. Chen, how do your two junior brothers compare to you?"

Chen Feiyu then said, "Miss, my second junior brother Wang Yong is in the mid-stage of the Qi Movement Realm, and my third junior brother Li Xiaoyue is in the early stage of the Qi Movement Realm."

As soon as Chen Feiyu finished speaking, Wang Yong stood up.

"Miss Yu Rou, don't you believe in our strength?" Wang Yong asked.

"That's not what I meant," Bai Yurou quickly explained.

Wang Yong smiled slightly, puffed out his chest, and said confidently, "Miss Yu Rou, you're worrying too much. With my fellow disciples and I joining forces, we can definitely roam freely in Binhai City! Tonight, no matter who attacks you, they won't leave alive from our combined attack!"

Bai Yurou certainly wouldn't easily believe Wang Yong's words, but seeing how confident Wang Yong was, she felt a little more at ease.

"It's getting late, Miss Yu Rou, you should rest. We'll stay here and keep watch over you; you won't be in any danger," Chen Fei Yu said again.

Bai Yurou nodded, turned off the lights in the room, and lay down again.

However, at that moment, the room window suddenly shattered with a crash!

A dark figure darted in from outside and headed straight for Bai Yurou on the bed.

In that instant, Bai Yurou was so frightened that her face turned pale and her heart almost jumped out of her throat!

Chen Feiyu, Wang Yong, and Li Xiaoyue reacted quickly. The three brothers immediately rushed towards the dark figure from three different directions, trying to capture this mysterious martial artist!

"Three Qi Movement Realm martial artists think they can stop me? They're courting death!"

An aged voice rang out, and the next moment Chen Feiyu, Wang Yong, and Li Xiaoyue were all sent flying by this person!

The three brothers were all lying on the ground, spitting blood, unable to move!

"The Separation and Union Realm! This old thing is at the Separation and Union Realm!" Chen Fei shouted in shock.
