Lu Qing hurriedly went to ask the fifth senior brother who was sweeping the ground at the entrance of the temple.
"Fifth Senior Brother, have you seen Feifei? I've searched the entire Taoist temple but I can't find her!"
Fifth Senior Brother thought for a moment and said:
"About five minutes ago, she received a phone call and then went down the mountain."
“I asked her what she was going to do, and she said she had ordered milk tea for everyone and was going down the mountain to get it. I wanted to go with her, but she said no, and she seemed quite happy about it.”
"They've gone down the mountain!" Lu Qing frowned, and without thinking, he hurriedly went down the mountain to look for them.
She released the dog made of torn yellow paper and quickly located it by Gu Fei's scent.
However, when Lu Qing went over, he only saw Gu Fei's phone lying on the ground.
The screen is broken, but thankfully it can still be turned on.
Lu Qing opened her phone but didn't see the food delivery order. Instead, she saw her chat history with Ruan Yinchen.
The milk tea wasn't ordered through a delivery service; Ruan Yinchen bought it and brought it over, which is why Gu Fei was so happy.
Lu Qing immediately called Ruan Yinchen, but as expected, the phone was switched off.
Now she was certain that Gu Fei and Ruan Yinchen had been taken away, and as for the people who took them away, there was no doubt that it was either the Longmen Sect or the Suishan Sect.
Lu Qing immediately returned to the mountain and told everyone the news.
Upon learning of Gu Fei's disappearance, Nan Qian was so anxious that she almost fainted again.
"Nanqian, don't get agitated. Those people won't hurt your daughter," Feng Yuan quickly reassured her.
Yu Hengzi nodded in agreement:
“That’s right! All they want is for me to come down the mountain. If they hurt your daughter, they will have completely failed to achieve their goal, so they dare not.”
"Where is my daughter now?" Nan Qian asked hurriedly.
Yu Hengzi sighed:
"I'll contact those two sects right away and ask where they are."
Originally, he wanted to wait until Lu Qing returned to the capital before letting Qin Yuebai handle this matter, but now it seems that Qin Yuebai might not be able to win over Gu Fei.
He had no choice but to personally step forward.
Just as Yu Hengzi was about to leave, Lu Qing stopped him:
"Master, what if..."
"What if those people actually want me?"
If it's just a matter between the Sui Shan Sect and the Long Men Sect vying for Yu Hengzi's support, then his intervention can naturally resolve the issue.
But if it was Bai Lang who kidnapped him, then his target should be Lu Qing.
Yu Hengzi paused, and as he remained silent, he suddenly received a phone call from an unfamiliar number.
Everyone remained silent, watching Yu Hengzi with tension.
Yu Hengzi answered the call and then turned on speakerphone:
"Hello? Who is this?"
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Old Celestial Master, it's been a long time!"
Yu Hengzi's eyes narrowed: "Bai Lang, it really is you! You're still alive!"
"Hahaha! Thanks to you, I'm still alive today. Twenty years ago, you ruined my grandfather's chance to be reborn. Not long ago, you even had your eldest disciple wipe out my ghoul soldiers. If I hadn't escaped quickly, I'd probably be a wandering ghost by now."
Yu Hengzi remained silent for a moment, then asked in a cold voice:
"You kidnapped the girl from my Taoist temple, didn't you!"
Bai Lang: "That's right! That girl is right here, and so is her beloved boyfriend. If you want them to live, let Lu Qing come to the Suishan Sect."
"Bai Lang, the forbidden resurrection technique from back then has been broken. What do you still need Lu Qing for?" Yu Hengzi asked sternly.
"Old Celestial Master, this is not your concern. Let Lu Qing come over, and then you and your disciples help the Sui Mountain Sect wipe out the Dragon Gate Sect. Once everything is over, I will return all three of them to you unharmed. Otherwise..."
As soon as Bai Lang finished speaking, Gu Fei's voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Qingqing, don't come any closer, he wants to..."
Before Gu Fei could finish speaking, the phone was hung up.
"Feifei!"
Nan Qian was terrified and immediately knelt down to beg Yu Hengzi:
"Master, I beg you to save my daughter! She suffered so much before, and she's only been home for a few months. If anything happens to her, I...I..."
Nan Qian couldn't help but burst into tears.
Gu Yan and Gu Xicheng quickly helped her up.
"Mom, please calm down. Feifei is alright for now. Aren't we discussing ways to save her?"
The Chu family members exchanged glances, their eyes filled with tension, and even Lu Qing's five older brothers showed a hint of wariness in their eyes.
Gu Fei has nothing to do with them, and they will absolutely not agree to exchange Lu Qing for Gu Fei.
If the Gu family really wants to abandon Lu Qing for Gu Fei, then there's no need to continue this engagement.
Seemingly sensing the Chu family's concerns, Old Madam Gu frowned and spoke:
"Xiao Yan, take your wife to the room and let her calm down!"
"We need to save Feifei, but we also need to come up with a plan. We can't really exchange Qingqing for her!"
Gu Yan knew that Nan Qian's irrationality would affect everyone's judgment, so he followed the old lady's instructions and took her away first.
Grandma Gu held Lu Qing's hand and said seriously:
"Feifei is my granddaughter, but since Qingqing is engaged to Xiaocheng, she is also a child of my Gu family."
After speaking, she looked at Chu Panshan and Han Ziyuan:
"My dear in-laws, don't worry. Although I'm old, I'm still sharp. Even if it wasn't Qingqing, but a complete stranger, I wouldn't trade her life for Feifei's."
The old lady's words reassured everyone in the Chu family.
"Grandma, with your words, everyone in the Chu family will do everything in our power to help rescue Feifei!" Chu Panshan said firmly.
Grandma Gu nodded, then looked at Yu Hengzi:
“Master, I just heard what that person said, and it seems that this matter is aimed at Qingqing. I think that person is no ordinary person. We will need your instructions on how to save her.”
Yu Hengzi pondered for a moment, and was about to speak when Lu Qing interrupted him:
"Wow!"
"Qingqing!" Feng Yuan quickly grabbed Lu Qing's hand and said urgently:
"Don't make things worse! That's exactly what Bo Lang wants. If you go, wouldn't that be exactly what he wants?"
The older brothers also offered their advice:
"Yes! Sister, you can't go! What if that person changes their mind and won't release them even if you go!"
"We don't know what kind of person they are, nor do we know what they're asking you to do. If you go there, what's the difference between you and a lamb entering a tiger's den!"
"We definitely won't let you go!"
Lu Qing sighed helplessly and finally turned her gaze to Gu Xicheng.
Before Gu Xicheng could speak, Lu Qing said:
"Are you also trying to persuade me not to go?"
Gu Xicheng chuckled lightly: "I'm not trying to persuade you, but I want to hear what you think."
Lu Qing smiled slightly. Sure enough, Gu Xicheng understood her best.
Everyone here treats Lu Qing like a child, thinking she's impulsive and would risk her own safety to save others. Only Gu Xicheng understands that Lu Qing is no longer a child.
Lu Qing looked at everyone and smiled:
"You don't need to worry about me so much. I value my life and don't really want to die."
"I'm going to save Feifei and Ruan Yinchen, but I'm definitely not going to risk my own life. I've already come up with a plan. Would you like to hear it?"
Looking at Lu Qing's confident demeanor, everyone suddenly realized that Lu Qing was no longer a child; she was much calmer and more composed than they had imagined.
