"You'd better keep what happened just now to yourself, understand?" Ji Jiuying stared at her and said coldly.
"Yes, I understand!" Xiao Dong replied respectfully.
After giving Yingyue a wink from the shadows, Ji Jiuying quickly went out and ran towards the arena.
Half a quarter of an hour.
Most of the people who had come to the square to ask for amulets for peace and safety had left.
If something happened to Qingling, why didn't they send her a telepathic message? There's only one possibility: Qingling is currently unconscious. Thinking of this, Ji Jiuying's face turned pale.
Now all we can do is pray that she wakes up soon and we can send her a signal.
"Yingyue, don't you have tracking skills? See if you can find Qingling's location." Ji Jiuying thought of something and transmitted her voice to Yingyue in the shadows.
“No, the Tracking Technique requires her blood, but I’ve already sent my men to look for it,” Shadowmoon said.
"Now we can only search and wait for Qingling's information," Ji Jiuying said with a worried expression.
"Xiao Jiu, what are you doing here?"
A voice came from not far away.
"Fatty Zhen, you're here too?"
"Come with my mother to ask for a peace charm," said Fatty Zhen, pointing to the noblewoman walking towards them in the distance.
"Greetings to Imperial Consort Mingyang."
"Princess Anping is too kind!" Princess Mingyang said with a smile.
Because of the arrival of Consort Mingyang, Ji Jiuying exchanged a few pleasantries with her somewhat absentmindedly.
"Mother, you should go back to the manor first. Xiao Jiu and I have some things to take care of." Zhen Pangzi noticed Ji Jiuying's expression and said in a feigned hurry.
"Then Princess Anping, please come visit us at your residence another time when you have time!" Only then did the Mingyang Imperial Concubine leave.
"Little Nine, what happened?" Zhen Pangzi asked after his mother had walked away.
"Qingling disappeared here this morning!" Ji Jiuying didn't intend to hide it from him, after all, the more people involved, the more hope there was.
Upon hearing this, Fatty Zhen turned to a guard behind him and said, "Zhen Hao, go to the Wen residence right now and inform Xiao Ting about this matter. Tell her to hurry."
Upon hearing this, the guards behind him quickly disappeared around the street corner.
"Xiao Jiu, don't worry. Xiao Ting knows a lot of people in this area. I'm sure we'll hear from her soon," Fatty Zhen comforted her.
Sure enough, in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Wen Longting arrived without stopping, followed by a large group of people.
"Xiao Jiu, what happened? How could Qingling disappear?" Wen Longting asked, panting.
Ji Jiuying told Wen Longting everything she knew that morning. After listening, Wen Longting asked, "Is there a portrait?"
Upon hearing this, Fatty Zhen, who was not far away, ran over and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I just finished drawing it."
Ji Jiuying glanced gratefully at Fatty Zhen. She hadn't expected him to go off to draw a portrait, which had helped her a great deal without her even asking.
Wen Longting took the painting from her hand and showed it to the more than two hundred people behind her. "Brothers, today I, Tingye, need your help. Remember the person in the painting? There will be a big reward for finding him, and everyone will get a share!"
More than two hundred people stepped forward to look at the portrait. "It doesn't matter whether we are rewarded or not, as long as we can help Tingye share the burden, that would be our honor."
"Thanks a lot! Brothers, I'll treat you to a good drink another day!" Wen Longting said, clasping her hands in a fist salute.
"That's enough from Tingye, brothers, let's get to work!" More than two hundred people left in different directions.
"Xiao Jiu, look, there's strength in numbers. I'm sure we'll hear news soon!" Fatty Zhen said.
"Yes, let's wait patiently for news," Wen Longting comforted her.
"Zhen Pangzi, Xiaoting thanks you."
"What are you thanking me for? Qingling is our friend too, it's only right," said Fatty Zhen.
moment.
A man ran up, angrily saying, "Ting...Master Ting, there's news again!"
At this moment, Yingyue also appeared beside Ji Jiuying, "Princess, there is news. They are at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion."
Hundred Flowers Pavilion?
Hyakka-ro is located on one of the busiest streets in Kyoto and is one of the city's most famous brothels.
"Go!" The group leaped away.
"Little Tiger, thank you for your hard work. Take these and buy some wine. I have to go now!" Wen Longting said, taking out a spatial ring and handing it to Little Tiger who had just arrived, before flying away!
Soon, the group arrived at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.
At this moment, several beautiful courtesans were soliciting customers at the entrance of Baihua Tower.
Upon seeing Yingyue and the others arrive, he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled at Yingyue, "Young Master, come on!"
"Young master is very handsome."
"Is this your first time visiting the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, young master?"
The rouge and powder on the women made Yingyue frown slightly. She couldn't help but slap out, and with a thud, several women flew to the ground.
"Ouch—"
Several screams broke the atmosphere inside the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.
This Hundred Flowers Pavilion is quite large; finding someone here is no easy task.
Everyone inside the Hundred Flowers Pavilion turned to look at Yingyue and her companions. Among them was a middle-aged woman dressed in flamboyant attire, who swayed her hips as she walked over. "Who dares to cause trouble in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion?"
"Mom!" The women on the ground all stood up and stood behind the middle-aged woman.
Upon hearing the word "Mom," Ji Jiuying instantly recognized the woman's identity.
"Are you the madam of this Hundred Flowers Pavilion?" Ji Jiuying asked, looking at the woman with heavy makeup.
The madam then took a good look at Ji Jiuying. This girl was truly stunning. If she could become the top courtesan at her Hundred Flowers Pavilion, how could she possibly be inferior to the Yihong Courtyard across the street?
However, the madam's gaze made Ji Jiuying frown slightly.
"Old woman, if you keep looking at Xiao Jiu like that, believe me, I'll gouge your eyes out!" Wen Longting said angrily.
The madam blushed with rage when she heard someone dare to call her an old woman. "Young lady, watch your mouth! I've been in this brothel for most of my life, and no one has ever dared to talk to me like that."
"Ladies, this is not a place for you to come to. Why are you causing trouble in my Hundred Flowers Pavilion?" the madam said indifferently.
"Hmph, enough nonsense. I'm asking you, have you ever seen the person in the portrait?" Wen Longting asked, opening the portrait in her hand.
The madam glanced at the person in the portrait, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes before she regained her composure, but Ji Jiuying still caught it.
"No," the madam said coldly.
"Madam, I advise you to look more carefully," Ji Jiuying said coldly.
When the madam met Ji Jiuying's icy gaze, she couldn't help but shiver. "Miss, no matter who this girl is to you, since I've paid for her, she belongs to my Hundred Flowers Pavilion. No one can lay a finger on her."
Ji Jiuying sneered, "Search."
Upon seeing this, the madam's heart sank, and she said sternly, "Let's see who dares! This Hundred Flowers Pavilion is owned by His Highness the Third Prince. Aren't you afraid of angering the royal family, young lady?"
