Xiao Tingshen stared at the spot where Xiao Luoan had disappeared, the light reflecting off his glasses making him look somewhat sinister.

Qi Yun'en stood at the corner and saw this strange scene.

She almost screamed, and for a moment she couldn't move her feet.

Xiao Luoan has disappeared!

Xiao Tingshen seemed to sense that someone was there, and he immediately strode over step by step.

The leather shoes made a shrill sound on the marble floor.

Qi Yun'en immediately shrank to the side of the emergency exit and ran down the stairs.

Because she was wearing high heels, she twisted her ankle several times.

But with Xiao Tingshen behind her, she dared not stop.

She stumbled and ran to the first floor, where she saw Xiao Tingshen already coming down in the elevator and waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs.

"Miss Qi?"

Xiao Tingshen looked refined and gentle, his long, narrow phoenix eyes now looking at Qi Yun'en with a kind gaze.

But in Qi Yun'en's eyes, he was a man-eating demon, and no matter how handsome he was, he could not tempt Qi Yun'en.

She swallowed hard, not daring to say a word.

"Miss Qi, would you mind accompanying Mr. Xiao upstairs to rest for a while?"

"I don't want to."

Qi Yun'en wasn't stupid; she wondered if she would also be grabbed by that black hand if she went up.

"So what did you see?"

Xiao Tingshen's eyes suddenly turned cold, like a venomous snake, his gaze cold and slippery, as if he were looking at his prey.

He held the knife to Qi Yun'en's waist with his other hand, and his other hand gripped her other waist, making them look incredibly intimate.

Threatened by him, Qi Yun'en froze on the spot, unable to utter a sound. Meanwhile, the banquet continued with its revelry, and no one noticed what was happening here.

Moreover, the elevator entrance is some distance from the banquet hall.

At this moment, Qi Yun'en desperately wished someone would come and save her.

Whoever can rescue her from Xiao Tingshen's clutches will be her second parents.

At that moment, her adoptive parents were walking towards them.

Si Jinyan couldn't find Xiao Luoan, but she saw Xiao Tingshen.

She changed into shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, which made her walk more nimbly. In just a few steps, she flashed in front of Xiao Tingshen.

With a hint of anger in his eyes, he asked directly, "Where is Xiao Luo'an?"

"Miss Si seems to have asked the wrong person."

Xiao Tingshen spoke in a somewhat languid tone.

He calmly withdrew the knife, but the large hand that was roaming around Qi Yun'en's waist did not retract.

Qi Yun'en turned around and slapped him across the face. He dared to take advantage of her without a knife to threaten her; he was asking for death!

I don't care who you are in the Xiao family.

"Dirty!"

Xiao Tingshen was not angry. Instead, he reached out and gently rubbed his slapped cheek.

A strong interest flickered in his eyes.

"You've asked the wrong person. You probably don't know that I'm a fortune teller. The black mark on your forehead seems to indicate that your lifespan is being taken away by someone else."

Si Jinyan's single sentence made Xiao Tingshen's face darken.

His thin lips were pressed tightly together, and his eyes were fixed on Si Jinyan.

"You are indeed very strong."

"Take me to Xiao Luo'an right now, or you'll lose your right to inherit the Xiao family, and even a god couldn't save your life."

Si Jinyan reached out and pinched Xiao Tingshen's arm, the faint pain causing Xiao Tingshen to frown deeply.

Seeing that someone dared to confront Xiao Tingshen, Qi Yun'en also became bolder.

"I saw Xiao Luoan being grabbed by a black hand in a room on the sixth floor."

Fortunately, Qi Yun'en had a mouth and knew that the important thing now was to find Xiao Luo'an.

"Thank you, Miss Qi."

Si Jinyan thanked him and then pushed Xiao Tingshen up to the sixth floor.

Qi Yun'en wanted to say something more, but seeing that Si Jinyan was busy, she didn't say anything more.

Let's wait until she finds Xiao Luoan before we talk about it.

Si Jinyan led Xiao Tingshen to the door of that room.

She looked the room up and down. "A Nanyang sorcerer?"

She said this to Xiao Tingshen.

"They come from the same energy source as the one that caused Xiao Luoan's leg to become lame last time. I have reason to suspect that they may be from the same sect."

Si Jinyan's words made Xiao Tingshen feel as if he were naked.

He turned his head to look at the girl; her profile was stunning, and her long eyelashes fluttered.

Her eyes were brimming with spiritual energy.

Why does Xiao Luoan always get the best of everything?

Even women?

Xiao Tingshen wondered what would happen to Xiao Luoan if Si Jinyan were destroyed.

Will he go crazy?

Thinking of this, Xiao Tingshen's lips unconsciously curled up slightly.

"Stop thinking about things that aren't relevant; it's questionable whether you can even survive for a month."

Si Jinyan's words sent a chill down Xiao Tingshen's spine.

"Was it that Southeast Asian sorcerer who ruined me?"

Life is still very important.

Xiao Tingshen, who had been so assertive, retorted with a question.

"Let's talk about your matter later."

Si Jinyan gave him a talisman to immobilize him, and then drew his Azure Lotus Sword and shattered the surrounding air.

"A little trick."

Xiao Luoan's presence was still clearly felt in this space, but he was nowhere to be seen.

It's obvious they're trying to lure her away to look elsewhere.

But the most dangerous place is also the safest place.

After Si Jinyan broke the illusion, the surroundings revealed a black room.

The room was completely empty of furniture, and all the curtains were drawn tightly shut on all sides.

Not a single ray of light could get in from outside.

"Little girl, you are really strong."
