Several groups of them were keeping an eye on Ling Luo's information through various channels, but it wasn't until after 7 p.m.
They've been searching for almost two hours.
Still nothing.
Ye Xingxue and Ye Zeru hadn't had dinner yet.
The housekeeper urged them to find a restaurant nearby to get something to eat.
Ye Xingxue didn't move, and said calmly to Ye Zeru and the others, "You guys go ahead."
He had little appetite.
Seeing his expression, Ye Zeru and the others didn't go either.
They were hungry, so they took out some nutrient solution from their storage bag and drank some to fill their stomachs.
Time passed little by little.
It's already past eleven o'clock.
There is still no news.
Not to mention Ye Xingxue, even the steward's expression grew increasingly grim.
Because they all knew that even when Ling Luo went out, she had never stayed out this late.
It's true that she doesn't like using a quantum computer.
But since she hasn't returned so late, Ling Luo will definitely still contact Ye Xingxue using the personal terminal.
so……
Something must have happened to Ling Luo.
Actually, when Ye Xingxue couldn't find anyone after school in the afternoon and started using the satellite identification system to search for her throughout the empire, the butler thought Ye Xingxue was making a mountain out of a molehill and being overly anxious.
He knew how nervous Ye Xingxue was about Ling Luo.
But it was already this late and Ling Luo still hadn't returned, so the butler knew that something must have really happened to her.
Ye Zeru and his colleagues shared similar thoughts with the butler.
However, since Ye Xingxue was so anxious, they didn't try to dissuade him and did their best to help him find people.
Seeing that Ling Luo still hadn't returned at this time...
Ye Xingxue's face was very pale, but she had no expression. She said to Ye Zeru and the others, "It's getting late. You should go back and rest."
Ye Zeru and the others were also worried about Ling Luo: "We're not sleepy, we—"
"Send them back." Ye Xingxue didn't look at them, left these words, and went out.
Although he didn't name names, the butler understood his meaning and respectfully escorted Ye Zeru and the others home.
After returning to her room, Ye Xingxue opened her personal computer contacts and asked someone to keep an eye out for news about spaceships entering and leaving the country.
He contacted several groups of people in succession.
It was more than an hour later when he logged out of the personal terminal.
His people were efficient, and before long, all the news about his appearances and disappearances had been relayed—without any apparent abnormalities.
Night Snow clenched her fists: "Keep watching."
For more than a year, the people of the Yulin Empire have been closely monitoring Ling Luo's whereabouts and have never given up trying to find out about the ancient martial arts techniques she possesses.
Although he was confident they couldn't possibly abduct Ling Luo right under his nose.
but……
He was afraid that something might happen.
What if Lingluo really was kidnapped by them—
He should be prepared.
He won't overlook any possibility.
Ye Xingxue didn't sleep a wink all night.
Ye Zeru and the others didn't get much sleep either.
The next morning.
They then arrived at the Night Snow Villa.
They didn't dare approach Ye Xingxue, and quietly asked the steward, "How is it?"
The butler shook his head: "No progress."
Ye Zeru and the others guessed it.
After all, if there had been any news, Ye Xingxue would have informed them long ago.
Not notifying them means there's no news.
Given Ye Xingxue's rights and Ling Luo's martial arts skills, it's generally unlikely that anyone would find an opportunity to harm Ling Luo.
Unless they are from another empire.
But even if the other empires have meticulously planned everything, Ye Xingxue's side is no pushover either; it's impossible for them to miss even the slightest clue...
Thinking of this, Ye Zeru frowned before asking, "What's wrong with my brother now?"
The butler shook his head: "I don't know. His Highness hasn't left his room since he went upstairs last night."
He didn't dare to disturb them.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zeru and the others did not go up to look for Ye Xingxue.
It's not that I'm afraid.
They have done all they could.
Aside from waiting for news, there wasn't much else they could do to help Ye Xingxue.
With school time fast approaching and Ye Xingxue still not downstairs, they guessed that she probably wasn't in the mood for class. After saying goodbye to the butler, they left to go to class.
Ye Xingxue didn't eat much last night.
The butler, unaware of the situation upstairs and worried that he might be hungry, brought upstairs the breakfast prepared for Ye Xingxue by the kitchen after Ye Zeru and the others left and knocked on the door: "Your Highness, breakfast is ready. Would you like some?"
Ye Xingxue said calmly, "No need."
"Your Highness..."
Night Snow did not respond.
The housekeeper had no choice but to take the breakfast downstairs and leave.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
For the past three days, Ye Xingxue has not stepped out of her room even once.
On this same day, after repeated investigations and confirmations by spies planted in other empires, it was basically confirmed that Ling Luo had not been abducted.
After receiving the message, Ye Xingxue paused for a moment.
He knew the capabilities of his subordinates.
Since his men have confirmed that Ling Luo was not kidnapped, it is basically true.
He knew about Ling Luo's martial arts skills.
Regardless of whether it's the Yulin Empire or any other empire eyeing the ancient martial arts techniques in her possession, even if they didn't send two martial arts masters of level nine or above, it would be impossible to take her away.
Even if they could take her away, it would be impossible to do so without making a sound.
But people from other empires were unaware of her true martial prowess.
It's impossible to send multiple level-nine experts to kidnap her.
so……
Hearing his men say this, Ye Xingxue was 100% certain that Ling Luo had not been kidnapped.
In fact, on the day Ling Luo disappeared, he already felt that the possibility of her being kidnapped was very low.
Because she's too strong.
He only had someone investigate as a precaution.
Now that the possibility of being kidnapped has been ruled out, there is only one answer left—Ling Luo is fine; she simply left the villa because of urgent business.
He had already guessed this on the day Ling Luo disappeared.
Because based on his understanding of her, her sudden disappearance was very strange.
You should know that in the past, if Ling Luo wanted to go out after getting up, she would eat something first, unless it was an emergency—
Night Snow fell into deep thought.
But the call with his informant hadn't ended yet.
After the other person finished speaking, seeing that he remained silent for a long time, he hesitated for a while before daring to ask, "Your Highness, were you listening?"
Ye Xingxue, who hadn't slept for several days, said in a hoarse voice, "I understand."
"That--"
"Continue the investigation."
Although she wasn't kidnapped, but...
He didn't know why she suddenly disappeared, where she went, when she would come back, or... if she would ever come back.
If her disappearance was just due to an urgent trip, he would wait for her to return.
I'll wait however long it takes.
I'm afraid she'll never come back—
Ye Xingxue's heart tightened, and her face suddenly turned even paler.
"yes."
While he was lost in thought, Ye Zeru and the others contacted him.
Ye Xingxue saw it and answered the phone: "What is it?"
Ye Zeru: "Brother, any news about your sister-in-law?"
Ye Zeru and the others hadn't dared to contact Ye Xingxue for the past few days, but as they waited, their worries grew, and they finally couldn't resist contacting her.
Ye Xingxue lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Yes, she's alright."
Ye Zeru was overjoyed: "Really?"
"Um."
Ye Zeru wanted to ask a few more questions, but Ye Xingxue simply said, "Hang up."
Then, the call was disconnected.
Ye Zeru: "..."
He paused for a moment, then looked at the others.
Others also felt something was off.
Gu Huan frowned: "Since the Crown Princess is alright, why does Your Highness still seem unhappy?"
Jiang Xinghe was also puzzled: "Yes."
Ye Zeru also found Ye Xingxue a bit strange.
However, Ye Xingxue's tone was too cold just now, so he chickened out and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
at the same time.
The Imperial Guard Empire.
Two days ago, Gao Yuhang was busy with the war and his computer was out of contact due to signal loss.
Their warship had just returned to the supply depot today. After opening their personal computers and seeing the relevant messages, they immediately replied: "Are Night Snow's people investigating us?"
"Yes, Major General."
"Is it related to our investigation of Ling Luo?"
"It shouldn't be. I feel like they're looking for someone. The Crown Prince of the Imperial Guard deliberately leaked information to us, seemingly suspecting that the person is in our hands. However, they were quite subtle at first, and we didn't understand their intentions. Now we understand, but they also seem to know that the person isn't in our hands, and we haven't been able to find out anything since then..."
Looking for someone?
"Yes."
"Since Ye Xingxue would deliberately expose his informants to find someone, it means that person is very important to him..."
"It should be, we've investigated, but we don't have any leads."
Gao Yuhang: "Let's keep following up."
"Yes." After saying that, Gao Yuhang's subordinate reported to him, "By the way, the superior ancient martial arts techniques that you had collected have been studied by those ancient martial arts masters. The experts unanimously believe that those ancient martial arts techniques are not helpful in improving the cultivation speed of our martial arts masters."
"I understand." Gao Yuhang was not surprised by this.
After all, if all ancient martial arts techniques could increase a martial artist's training speed, they wouldn't have only been discovered now.
Thinking of this, Gao Yuhang's eyes darkened: "What about Ling Luo? Any news?"
"No, she's very secretive, and our people can't get in touch with her at all."
Gao Yuhang listened without saying anything more and exited the computer.
——
Ye Xingxue has not gone to school for several days in a row.
Based on Ye Xingxue's reaction at this time, they thought that Ye Xingxue would continue to ask for leave the next day.
However, the next morning, on their way to morning training, they encountered a snowstorm.
They were all very surprised.
In their view, Ye Xingxue hadn't left the building for three days before, but now she was coming to school, which meant—
However, before they could even rejoice, they were stunned when they saw Ye Xingxue's indifferent expression.
Ye Zeru hesitated for a moment before walking over: "Brother, are you... alright?"
Ye Xingxue's face was expressionless, but Ye Zeru and the others could tell that he was in a bad mood and his face was very pale.
Ye Xingxue's tone was also indifferent: "It's nothing."
Ye Zeru: "..."
You say you're fine, but your expression doesn't look like you're fine at all.
But they didn't have time to say more before they had to gather for training.
Ye Xingxue didn't seem to have any intention of saying more to them, and left after saying "I'm leaving now".
Ye Zeru and the others had no idea what had happened.
During training, he secretly contacted the housekeeper: "What happened to my sister-in-law? Did my brother and sister-in-law have a fight?"
The butler was taken aback: "Arguing? You mean you've found the Crown Princess?"
Ye Zeru was also taken aback: "You still haven't found your sister-in-law? But didn't my brother say last night that she was alright?"
Butler: "But the Crown Princess hasn't returned yet..."
They're not back yet?
What's the meaning?
Has something really happened?
Hearing this, Ye Zeru and the others were a little confused.
A few more days passed.
Almost ten days have passed since Ling Luo suddenly disappeared.
Not only Ye Zeru and his classmates, but also Ye Xingxue's classmates noticed that Ye Xingxue's condition had not been very good lately.
Ye Xingxue was a silent person to begin with.
The night snow seems to have become increasingly silent lately.
Besides that, he looked noticeably haggard and thinner.
He was daydreaming in class, I don't know what he was thinking about.
Ye Feng helped me with the matter of finding Ling Luo a few days ago.
I can naturally guess some of the reasons for the changes in the night snow.
After receiving the message, Ye Feng summoned Ye Xingxue back to the palace.
When Ye Xingxue returned to the palace, Ye Feng frowned upon seeing her appearance. After a long pause, he said calmly, "How long has it been since you slept?"
Ye Xingxue sat down to help him with his affairs, without looking at him, and said indifferently, "He's asleep."
Night Wind chuckled: "Yes, I did try to sleep, but I just couldn't fall asleep."
This time, Ye Xingxue did not refute.
Ye Xingxue didn't look up, focusing on handling her affairs, but after a while, she said to Ye Feng, "I'm fine."
The night breeze ignored him and sneered, "Do I look blind?"
This time, Ye Xingxue remained silent.
Ye Feng looked at him and fell silent for a moment.
His son has so much to make him proud.
He is the most prominent figure in the entire galaxy.
He never imagined that he would ever feel insecure.
Is Night Snow insecure?
If this were to get out, I'm afraid everyone in the entire interstellar space would think it's just a joke. After all, if Night Snow isn't confident, who would dare to be?
Night Breeze clicked its tongue and chuckled, "That's quite interesting."
Ye Feng's words seemed nonsensical, but Ye Xingxue immediately understood what he meant.
He didn't even lift his eyelids.
Ye Feng's secretary, Yan Jin, also knew about Ling Luo's disappearance.
Because the spies that Ye Feng had planted in other empires were always handled by him.
However, after confirming that Ling Luo had not been kidnapped but had to leave on urgent business, Ye Xingxue notified Ye Feng to remove her.
Yan Jin then assumed that the person had been found.
Seeing Ye Xingxue's pale face, Yan Jin hadn't expected it to be Ling Luo, and asked Ye Feng, "What's wrong with His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Ye Feng rested his chin on his hand and said, "It's nothing. I'm just worried that his Crown Princess will abandon him and not want him anymore."
Yan Jin: "..."
That night, Ye Xingxue stayed at the palace.
The next morning, after having breakfast with Ye Feng and the others, he boarded the flying vehicle, left the palace, and went to school.
After boarding the aircraft, he turned on his personal computer and immediately contacted someone, asking, "Is there any news about the Crown Princess?"
"No, I'm sorry, Your Highness."
Ye Xingxue pursed her thin lips, lowered her eyes, exited the personal terminal, and looked out the window expressionlessly.
It's been ten days.
It's been ten days...
