"Qing'er..."
"Qing'er..."
Bai Ziyu's eyes were bloodshot, and a sense of fear surged into his heart. He gently supported Qiqing's head and lifted her into his arms.
Ning An'an's hand, which was placed on Qiqing's wrist, was shaking so much that he could hardly take her pulse, and beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead.
After a while, under Bai Ziyu's burning gaze, he said, "It's okay, I fainted."
Bai Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Qiqing tightly.
"Master Shi'an, Young Master Ning, Second Prince Bai... Is Miss Qiqing awake?" Chen's hurried footsteps made one aware of his anxiety from his voice, even without seeing his expression.
Master Shi An was not in the inner room and did not know the specific situation: "Donor Chen, why are you so panicked?"
"Master Shi An...our city lord..."
Naturally, it was not convenient for Chen to go into the inner room, so he stayed outside. Fortunately, when he was about to explain to Master Shi An, Ning Anan and Bai Ziyu came out.
Chen immediately stepped forward and said, "Second Prince Bai, Master Ning, is Miss Qiqing awake?"
Ning Anan shook her head, a trace of worry flashing across her face: "Not yet."
Bai Ziyu saw the expression on Chen Zuoshi's face and guessed that something important was going on. He then asked, "Chen Zuoshi, what's going on?"
Chen said disappointedly and anxiously, "Second Prince Bai, when we were cleaning the sword tomb just now, we found our city lord's waist badge."
Chen handed the badge in his hand to Bai Ziyu. It was a badge made of black iron. One side of the badge was engraved with a ghost face, and the other side was engraved with the word "Dugu".
This is the waist badge that symbolizes the identity of the Lord of Posha City, and it has always been worn by Dugu Ling.
Now that the waist badge was found in the destroyed sword tomb, Chen, Xing and others couldn't help but have some bad associations.
How could the sword tomb in Qiyuntai explode for no reason?
How could Qiqing faint in the sword tomb?
How could Dugu Ling, who shouldn't be in Posha City, appear in Qiyuntai?
Although only Dugu Ling's badge was found, given Dugu Ling's martial arts skills, taking the badge from him without anyone noticing would be as difficult as killing him directly.
besides…
Chen Zuoshi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. When he was struggling over whether to speak or not, he heard Bai Ziyu's arrogant voice:
"The magic sword is placed in the sword tomb?"
Chen Zuoshi suddenly raised his head and looked at Bai Ziyu. Seeing the murderous look on Dieli Zhangyang's face, he was speechless for a moment.
Bai Ziyu understood that the magic sword was indeed placed in the sword tomb, and it was now missing.
"Donor Qiqing fainted but was not taken away," Shi An on the side suddenly said.
Several people looked at Master Shi An. Yes, if Dugu Ling’s disappearance was due to someone taking him away, the magic sword was also taken away by someone.
The unconscious Qiqing was not taken away, nor was he killed.
Or maybe the person who came was targeting Dugu Ling, accidentally injured Qiqing, and took away the magic sword.
Or maybe the person who came was just after the Demon Sword and didn't want to capture Qiqing and cause trouble.
In this case, there is more than one possibility for Dugu Ling to disappear.
Ultimately, the specific situation still needs to wait until Qiqing wakes up to see. After all, she is the only one who may know what happened on the Qiyuntai at that time.
After waiting for a while, as it was getting dark, Chen left first and reunited with Xing, who was leading the team to look for Dugu Ling.
He also reminded him that if Miss Qiqing woke up, she must send someone to notify him immediately.
Until the next afternoon, Ning Anan did not wait for Qiqing to wake up, but instead waited for the sick Dugu Meng.
"Brother An An, is Miss Qing okay?"
"How do you know Qing'er is injured?" Ning An'an was a little confused. Although when the explosion happened in Yuntai, basically the whole Yanghu City knew about it.
However, not many people know the specific details, such as Dugu Ling's disappearance and Qing'er's injury.
Dugu Meng lowered his head and stammered, "I overheard someone tell my father that my cousin is missing.
There is no one in charge in Posha City right now, and I hope my father can come out and take charge of the situation."
Ning Anan only focuses on medical skills and alchemy, and now he has the seven emotions.
He knew that Dugu Ling was Dugu Meng's cousin, and Dugu Meng's father was Dugu Ling's uncle.
Since his nephew was missing, it was natural for the uncle to take charge of the situation, so Ning Anan didn't find it strange.
Whether it was the court struggles or the secrets of the noble families, Ning Anan didn't quite understand.
But Ning Anan doesn’t understand, there are always people who do.
"Your father?" Bai Ziyu's voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Hearing Bai Ziyu's voice, she turned around and saw Bai Ziyu's unrestrained yet extremely beautiful face.
Dugu Meng had no desire to appreciate Cui'er. All he had was the lingering nightmare of Cui'er having her tongue cut off.
Dugu Meng was frightened and almost fainted. It took him a long time to calm down his rapidly beating heart.
He involuntarily leaned closer to Ning Anan, his legs and feet feeling a little weak.
Bai Ziyu looked at Dugu Meng, who was staring at him with a horrified expression, without any patience at all.
He asked again impatiently, "Is your father going to take charge of the situation?"
Dugu Meng forced himself to stay upright and said, "No...no, my father said...he said he didn't want to work himself to death and be despised by others in the end.
If you have that much time, you might as well go twice more... go..."
Dugu Meng couldn't say the three words "Manchunlou" at all.
Thinking of this, Dugu Meng's face was full of humiliation and unwillingness.
Her father has been abandoning himself ever since he gave up his position as city lord.
Indulging in pleasure, he frequented filthy places like brothels and beauty workshops.
In name, he is the uncle of the mayor of Posha City, but he has no real power at all. In Yanghu City, he is not even as powerful as the two servants Chen and Xing.
She suffered as a result, not receiving any of the privileges of a city lord's sister. Even entering or leaving Posha City required a seal-engraved warrant.
Moreover, they are not allowed to live in Posa City at will. What's the difference between them and other people in Yanghu City?
In fact, Dugu Meng was wrong. Being able to enter and exit with a warrant was already a privilege from the city lord's sister.
After all, not everyone can have a warrant at any time. Even if this warrant was originally supposed to belong to her father, Dugu Xingyun.
Bai Ziyu didn't ask any further questions because he already knew what kind of person Dugu Xingyun was.
After what happened at Juxian Tower, he investigated Dugu Meng's affairs. Her father, Dugu Ling's uncle, Dugu Xingyun.
Bai Ziyu naturally knew what kind of person this Dugu Xingyun was.
Therefore, he gave up the idea of wiping out the roots because Dugu Xingyun could not pose any threat to Qiqing.
Dugu Xingyun and even Dugu Meng are both from Beihuang, and ultimately they are Dugu Ling's people.
As long as Dugu Meng and her father didn't hurt Qi Qing, he didn't want to clean up any mess for Dugu Ling.
"Bai Ziyu, Ning Anan..." A very soft girl's voice came from the inner room.
