Xu Jinyi thought that with Xiaoqi's presence, they would definitely be able to find the Flower Snake Fruit within three days.
But as time passed, Xu Jinyi's face became ugly.
"Xiao Qi, are you sure you didn't miss anything in your detection?"
Xiao Qi in Xu Jin's sea of consciousness was also confused: "The system can't be wrong. The Flower Snake Fruit is in Taifeng Mountain. My detection has definitely not missed it."
"What's the problem? The deadline is tomorrow morning. If we don't find it, Xinyue won't survive."
Xiao Qi didn't know why this happened and was desperately looking for information.
"I'll check right away!"
As Xu Jinyi was walking towards the cave with a serious look on his face, his expression suddenly changed and he quickly rushed forward.
From a distance, several figures in night clothes were seen besieging Han Ting.
They didn't know how long they fought. At this time, Han Ting was obviously exhausted and his body was covered in blood.
Xu Jinyi was extremely anxious and hurried forward.
But the next second, the scene in front of her made her eyes bloodshot.
"Han Ting——"
Watching him fall from the cliff with his own eyes, Xu Jinyi's heart was clenched tightly and even breathing was painful.
"Han Ting——"
Xu Jinyi screamed in horror, half of his body hanging on the edge of the cliff, but he could only see Han Ting's figure falling rapidly.
Tears fell silently, and Xu Jinyi's hands were shaking with panic.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground and more than thirty assassins, Xu Jinyi's eyes turned red instantly.
A wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Very good, you are really good!"
"You really pissed me off!"
No one saw how Xu Jinyi moved. More than thirty people fell to the ground in an instant, and blood spread everywhere, dyeing the land red.
Xiao Qi had never seen Xu Jinyi like this before, and the terrifying power that just emerged from her did not belong to this small world.
It was her own spiritual power, but her soul was thrown here and her spiritual power was blocked, so how could she use it?
Xiao Qi was so frightened by her current aura that he dared not speak.
She just swayed a bit, her eyes were confused, and she seemed to have completely forgotten what had just happened.
But she couldn't care about these things now: "Xiao Qi, do you have any props to take me down? Will he be okay?"
After getting Xiaoqi's answer, Xu Jinyi took out the red whip, spent a thousand points to upgrade it, and then tied it around his waist.
The other end was thrown onto a thick tree, and then without thinking, he used his lightness skills to jump off the cliff.
Xu Jinyi concentrated on stepping on the rocks that were spit out from the edge of the cliff and slowly descended using his lightness skills.
On the way, Xiao Qi's voice startled her so much that she almost missed a step and fell down.
"Yiyi, Yiyi, I've detected the Flower Snake Fruit. It's within a hundred meters of you."
Xu Jinyi steadied himself and stopped at the cliff: "The Flower Snake Fruit is here?!"
"Yes, within a hundred meters."
"There's still time. Han Ting can't wait. I'll find him first and then come back."
Xu Jinyi thought he would be able to find Han Ting at the bottom of the cliff, but there was nothing there except a pool of blood.
His expression was visibly ugly: "He was taken away!"
Seeing the traces of dragging, Xu Jinyi's heart rose to his throat.
His hands clenched into fists as he struggled internally, "He's going to be okay, right?"
Xiao Qi: "It will definitely be fine. The hero is blessed with a long life, so it will definitely be fine."
Hearing this, Xu Jinyi calmed down, looked up at the cliff, took out the night pearl, and started searching.
…
Two days later.
Xu Jinyi, who rushed back from Taifeng Mountain, passed through the crowd and ignored everyone's talk about the Shangshu Mansion's adopted daughter becoming a daughter-in-law, and headed straight for the gate of the palace.
Xu Jinyi was filled with murderous intent. He took out the token to enter the palace and asked to see the Queen Mother.
When the guard saw the regent's token, his eyes flashed and he took her to Yongshou Palace.
On the way, Xu Jinyi looked at the respectful captain of the guards and asked, "Are you from Hanting?"
Guard Zhou didn't hesitate and admitted directly, "The Regent has spies all over the palace, and I am one of his men. Ten days ago, the Regent told me that if I see you, it's as if he were there in person."
Xu Jinyi felt warm in her heart, and her worry for Han Ting increased.
"I wonder why Miss Xu wants to see the Queen Mother...?"
The news of Han Ting’s disappearance could not be leaked, so Xu Jinyi did not say anything.
She just asked him to guard outside Yongshou Palace, and if she didn't come out within two hours, he should go in.
As the daughter of a minister, she was naturally not qualified to ask for an audience with the Queen Mother, but everyone knew about the Regent's jade pendant.
Under the guidance of the nanny, Xu Jinyi once again saw that face, which, even in its old age, still showed the extraordinary charm of its youth.
"Your humble servant Xu Jinyi pays respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be well and at peace."
The Queen Mother raised her eyelids slightly. "I heard that you came to see me with the Regent's jade pendant. What is your relationship with the Regent? And why do you want to see me?"
Xu Jinyi didn't waste any words. He took out the token belonging to the Chen family from his pocket and asked directly, "Where is Han Ting?"
The Queen Mother stared intently at the unassuming young woman in front of her, a faint smile curling up at the corner of her lips. "What a joke! An unmarried young woman comes to see the Prince Regent and me. Do you know what this means?!"
Xu Jinyi could certainly hear the threat in her tone, but she didn't back down. "If I didn't have evidence that he was in your hands, why would I have come here so rashly?"
The Queen Mother did not get angry but laughed instead when she was confronted like this, because she saw her younger self in the eyes of this little girl.
"I don't know what you're talking about. The Regent is such a big man, if he's missing, he shouldn't come here to make a scene."
Xu Jinyi: "Logically speaking, Queen Mother, you have no grudge against Han Ting except for the little emperor. You should even know that Han Ting's existence is a blessing to the world."
"For so many years, you have never made a move against Han Ting. Why this time..."
The Queen Mother drank her tea calmly. "Did the Regent tell you that? If that's the case, why did you think the Regent would be here with me?"
"It seems that the Queen Mother doesn't want to hand over anyone today." Xu Jinyi's face suddenly became fierce, and he directly drew out the soft sword from his waist.
He planned to capture the Queen Mother and force her to hand over the person.
However, when Xu Jinyi drew out the soft sword from his waist, several masters in the hall jumped down and surrounded Xu Jinyi.
The battle was about to break out, with swords flashing and sabers flying. Xu Jinyi alone withstood the attacks of more than a dozen people.
And he was gradually gaining the upper hand, gradually approaching the Queen Mother.
Seeing that time was getting longer, Xu Jinyi didn't want to kill anyone, so he took out the golden needles soaked in the love incense and shot them out with both hands.
The Queen Mother's expression suddenly changed, and she stood up in shock: "Stop!!"
"Everyone, retreat! Retreat!"
Xu Jinyi's right hand was full of silver, and he was in a defensive posture, not understanding what the Queen Mother wanted to do.
"Who are you?"
The Queen Mother's voice trembled with excitement, and even tears appeared in her eyes.
Xu Jinyi narrowed his eyes slightly, looking puzzled.
