Ye Qingchen looked at the quiet person in his arms, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. Thinking that Jun Linyu dared to force her, he was filled with murderous intent.

It wasn't until Feng Che's arrival that he returned to his original gentle and refined demeanor.

"Let's go back first and then figure out a solution."

Just as the two were about to leave, Feng Che stopped, turned back to look at Murong Zheng, and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"

Murong Zheng looked up at Feng Che, his eyes full of surprise: "Me...can I?"

"Okay, let's go."

He turned and left. If it weren't for him, they wouldn't have been able to knock Jiu'er unconscious so quickly, especially since he was injured.

Murong Zheng was overjoyed and followed after him despite his injuries.

Back at the Princess's residence, Shuanghua and the others helped Ji Jiuying put on her outer clothes before opening the door and coming out.

They didn't know why the princess had fallen into a coma, and seeing their solemn expressions, they dared not ask any more questions.

Shuanghua stepped forward and curtsied, "Second Master, the Princess has already changed her clothes."

"good."

The group quickly arrived at Ji Jiuying's bedside, looking at the person on the bed with solemn expressions. Feng Che, unwilling to give up, checked again, but the result was the same.

At that moment, a surge of spiritual energy rippled outside.

Bai Lisha appeared in the courtyard and saw Hei Xiangling bound like a rice dumpling by the Immortal-Binding Rope.

"Sister Xiangling, what's wrong with you..."

"Xiaobai, don't worry about me, you have to find a way to save that brat." Hei Xiangling was like she had seen a savior and hurriedly told her about Ji Jiuying. No one but that brat could untie the Immortal-Binding Rope.

Bai Lisha frowned slightly. So much had happened in just half a day since she left. Upon hearing this, she immediately ran into her room.

"Xiaobai, come quickly and see what's wrong with Jiu'er?"

Feng Che saw her and spoke.

Bai Lisha looked at the unconscious Ji Jiuying, her brows furrowing slightly. She came to her side, placed her fingers on her pulse, closed her eyes, and sent wisps of spiritual energy through her wrist.

Feng Che, Ye Qingchen, and Murong Zheng watched quietly from the side without saying a word.

After a while.

Bai Lisha opened her eyes, her expression grave. Feng Che asked anxiously, "Little Bai, have you found anything?"

"Second Master Feng, tell me about her behavior when she was lucid."

His actions while sober? Feng Che didn't understand why Bai Lisha would ask this, but he still told her the whole story.

After hearing what Feng Che said, Bai Lisha's heart sank, and she said solemnly.

"Unconscious, doesn't recognize anyone, obeys orders from others..."

"Just now I found a tiny needle in her soul. Combined with what Second Master just said, I suspect that Xiao Jiu has been put into a soul-locking needle!"

Before he could finish speaking, Feng Che jumped to his feet. "What did you say? Soul-Locking Needles!"

Shiraisha nodded solemnly.

"These Soul-Locking Needles are evil objects; they must not be handled lightly. Even the slightest mistake could result in damage to the soul, or even death..."

"There's one more thing... You must remember never to kill the person who administered the needles. Not only must you not kill that person, you must also protect him. If he dies, Xiao Jiu will die with him."

Ye Qingchen frowned slightly. Soul-Locking Needles? He had never heard of such a thing before. Just hearing the name made him feel very strange. How could Jun Linyu have such a thing?

Upon hearing this, Feng Che was instantly consumed by rage, wishing he could tear Jun Linyu to pieces. He punched the wall, and with a loud bang, the wall caved in.

"Damn it."

Ye Qingchen looked at Bai Lisha, "Miss Bai, is there a way to remove these Soul-Locking Needles?"

Feng Che also came to his senses and looked at Bai Lisha. Bai Lisha shook her head, "This Soul-Locking Needle is an evil object. I don't know much about it, so... but I can go back and ask my master."

Seeing this, Feng Che could only nod. Bai Lisha left the room, said goodbye to Hei Xiangling, and then departed.

Feng Che's expression turned solemn. How could the Third Prince Jun Linyu possess such an evil object as the Soul-Locking Needle? It seems there must be someone behind him.

"Qingchen, could you please go to the Demon Beast Forest and find Qingling and the others? Ask her to find the Dean of Star Academy." Feng Che thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps the Returning Void God Venerable would know something about the Soul-Locking Needles."

Before Ye Qingchen could answer, Murong Zheng spoke up, "I'll go instead, I'm very fast."

Feng Che nodded upon seeing this. After Murong Zheng left, Feng Che's gaze fell on Ye Qingchen again. "Qingchen, I'll leave the task of protecting Jun Linyu to you for now."

"Qingchen will certainly live up to Second Master's expectations." With that, she looked at the peaceful sleeping face on the bed and turned to leave.

Feng Che was left alone in the room, his brows furrowed.

Who gave Jun Linyu the Soul-Locking Needles? He suspected that this evil object likely came from the Heavenly Domain Continent.

Could it be someone from the Feng family?

Upon having this thought, Feng Che shook his head. It couldn't be someone from the Feng family. Such an evil creature could kill someone with the slightest carelessness. The Feng family would never entrust Jiu'er's life to an outsider, let alone someone who had improper thoughts about Jiu'er.

The sky was beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn.

A giant roc appeared in the sky above the princess's mansion, and several figures hurriedly flew down.

Qingling, pale-faced, went straight to Ji Jiuying's room.

"Second Master, how is Miss?"

Before Feng Che could answer, several figures appeared behind him.

They are Yu Bugui and Jin Chenzi, respectively.

Feng Cheqing sighed, "It's still the same. God, please come and see if there's anything amiss?"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Yu Bugui and Jin Chenzi.

Feng Che told the group what had happened and Bai Lisha's diagnosis. Yu Bugui frowned and stepped forward to examine her.

Half a quarter of an hour.
