"It's all because of the Qu family's Daoist Couple Banquet. I heard that the little girl they captured is actually the second young lady of the Hidden Sect." The older rogue cultivator lowered his voice slightly to avoid being overheard by the passersby on the street.

The other three people at the table immediately became excited upon hearing this and started talking non-stop:

"Has the Hidden Sect truly emerged?"

"The Naqu family has gotten themselves into big trouble this time!"

"Wait, wasn't it said that the Qu family also captured a little demon?"

The older rogue cultivator curled his lip and said, "The Hidden Sect has not only emerged from hiding this time, but I heard that the sect's Grand Elder personally led a group to Tianque City. It's said that the Hidden Sect's second young lady is too young and was bewitched and abducted by a little demon they captured, and they've been searching for her everywhere. Unexpectedly, when they reached the Qu family's territory, the Qu family, without even asking any questions, accused the second young lady of colluding with a demon and almost killed her. I guess the Hidden Sect is really angry this time."

The other three clicked their tongues in amazement.

"Good heavens! The Qu family has actually offended the Hidden Sect! They've really messed things up!"

"I find it strange that the Second Miss of the Hidden Sect would be with a demon. Didn't the Qu family think twice before daring to capture her?"

"Oh, you have no idea what happened at the Qu family's Daoist couples' banquet that day..."

The group of people on the other side were talking animatedly, their spittle flying everywhere, as they recounted everything that had happened in Tianque City, from the Qu family's Daoist banquet to recent events.

Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao didn't even need to take the initiative to get close to them; the two already knew the whole story.

Now, Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao only need to confirm whether the person captured by the Qu family is indeed Ji Fenghua.

The two of them pondered and speculated in the inn.

Cao Xiaosi has been feeling extremely anxious these past few days, as his cultivation level is too low to break into the Qu family to rescue them.

He had also considered going to the foot of the Dan Sect to deliver the message.

But then he worried that with only Black Owl under his feet, Black Owl and Ji Fengxiao would have to be dragged down with him.

Fortunately, the people from the Hidden Sect arrived shortly afterward.

Now Cao Xiaosi wanders around the Qu residence every day, hoping that the Hidden Sect will consider its reputation and bring Ji Fenghua and the second young lady of the Hidden Sect out together.

Once the Hidden Sect members bring Ji Fenghua out, he will try to get close to them and see if there is any chance to rescue her.

But Cao Xiaosi was even more afraid that the Hidden Sect would kill Fenghua in public in order to prove the innocence of their second young lady.

Cao Xiaosi's worries were not unfounded.

Because at this moment, Mi Tang'an, the elder of the Hidden Sect, who was in the Qu Mansion, was planning just that.

Mi Tang'an's face was dark as he looked at Mi Xi, who was sitting to the side, having just changed her clothes and still bearing scars on her hands and face. He reprimanded her in a deep voice with great displeasure, "When we came out, your father said that he would not let you off easily this time. You'd better watch yourself!"

"Hmph!" Mi Xi snorted dismissively.

No one knew better than her how much her father and mother loved her, and they always said they would punish her severely and not forgive her.

But every time, once the door is closed and the bench is smashed, everything is fine.

She's not afraid at all!

“I have already made an agreement with the Qu family head. Tomorrow, we will push that little demon out and have our Hidden Sect personally kill it in public. Only in this way can we protect the reputation of our Hidden Sect and yours.” Mi Tang’an could not overstep the sect leader’s authority to reprimand Mi Xi, so he could only try to calm things down for the time being.

"What?! You want to kill the little devil?!" Mi Xi jumped up in shock and shouted fiercely, "You dare!"
