"When did Young Master Qingchen go missing?" Ye Li asked indifferently as they sat in a simple building in the valley. Looking at the furnishings in the building, although it was simple, there was not a single thing missing. There was a half-read ancient book on the table, and Xu Qingchen's room was also neat and tidy. It did not look like someone had broken in and kidnapped Xu Qingchen.
The men and women looked at each other, and one of them came forward and said, "Reporting to Princess, Young Master Qingchen … went missing two days ago."
"Two days ago?" Ye Li raised her eyebrows, "Since Young Master Qingchen went missing two days ago, why didn't you report it to Miss Dongfang? Did you send people to look for him? " The man smiled bitterly, "We sent people to look for him at that time, but they did not find him in the valley, outside the valley, on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain. Young Master ordered us to look after Young Master Qingchen. Now that Young Master Qingchen has gone missing, we are really … "
Ye Li understood their thoughts. These people had followed Dongfang You for some time, and probably knew Dongfang You's methods. Princess Xi Xia had only ridiculed Dongfang You with a few words, and she was almost beaten to death by Dongfang You, not to mention that these people had lost Xu Qingchen. They could only drag it out. Who knows, they might find him before Dongfang You came.
Ye Li glanced at Dongfang You, who was sitting stiffly at the side. In such a short time, Dongfang You could grow into a master that made her subordinates tremble with fear. It was really unexpected. However, now that she had caught him, it was no big deal. The Infinite Boundless Mountain was a nail that had been buried in the various countries for hundreds of years. Sooner or later, it would be completely eradicated.
"In this valley, other than the secret passage, is there any other way out?" Ye Li asked.
Everyone shook their heads, and the leader smiled bitterly, "Princess, even if there is a way out, it is not something Young Master Qingchen can get out of. You have to climb out of this cliff. But look at the cliff on all sides. It's as if it was carved by a knife. Not to mention Young Master Qing Chen who doesn't know martial arts, even people like us … "Ye Li nodded. If she didn't use any tools, even Ye Li wouldn't be able to climb up such a cliff.
"What was Young Master Qingchen doing before he went missing?"
"Because Young Master ordered us not to neglect Young Master Qing Chen, so as long as Young Master Qing Chen doesn't run away, he can do whatever he wants. Young Master Qing Chen has been very well-behaved. Every day, he just reads books and plays the zither. So we didn't pay much attention to it. Every day at that time, Young Master Qingchen would sit on the hillside outside the house and read a book. "
Ye Li stood up and said, "Take me there."
Now that these people's lives were in Ye Li's hands, they naturally wouldn't go against Ye Li. What's more, if Ye Li hadn't suddenly appeared with people, with Dongfang You's anger at that time, they might have died like the unlucky ones who died first. So in a way, Princess Ding could be said to have saved their lives. What's more, no matter from which point of view, pledging loyalty to the Prince Ding Mansion was much better than continuing to follow this already ruined Boundless Mountain.
Ye Li smiled and looked at Dongfang You. Dongfang You stared back at Ye Li without showing any weakness. That gaze seemed to be dipped in poison. Ye Li frowned and said indifferently, "Miss Dongfang, I'll have to trouble you to stay here for a while."
Dongfang You stared at her and said, "I want to go with you to find Young Master Qing Chen."
Ye Li frowned, "Big Brother won't want to see you. Haven't you harmed him enough?" Dongfang You said angrily, "I didn't harm Young Master Qing Chen. I just … I just …" Ye Li waved her hand and said, "I don't want to hear what you just said. Just tell me if you want to stay here obediently?"
Dongfang You stared at her provocatively and said, "So what if I don't want to? If you have the ability, tie me up. "
Ye Li's lips curled up in a smile, "If that's the case …" She raised her hand and a hand knife cleanly cut Dongfang You's neck. Dongfang You closed her eyes and fell to the ground, "Wei Lin."
Wei Lin looked at Ye Li with admiration and nodded with a smile, "Princess, don't worry. I guarantee that she won't cause any trouble." The Prince Ding Mansion had many methods and drugs to block internal energy, ensuring that even if Dongfang You woke up, she would be limp and unable to move at all.
After leaving Dongfang You, the group was led by those people to the place where Xu Qingchen disappeared. It was indeed the place with the best scenery in the entire valley. There was a smooth stone on the ground. Compared to the stones in other places, this stone was exceptionally clean. It was obvious that someone often wiped it or sat on it. Ye Li sat down on the stone and looked around. She asked, "Where is the book that big brother was reading that day?"
Everyone looked at each other. After a while, they said, "It seems that … it disappeared with Young Master Qing Chen." Young Master Qing Chen had already caused a ruckus. How could he have the time to care about an unremarkable book? Now that they thought about it, Young Master Qing Chen came out with a book. But after that, they did not see the book nearby. This meant that when Young Master Qing Chen left, he took the book with him.
Zhuo Jing whispered to Ye Li, "It seems like Master Qingchen wasn't forced by anyone. Instead, he left on his own accord." If he was forced by someone, he wouldn't have been so meticulous as to not forget to take a book with him. If Young Master Qing Chen was taken away unconsciously, it was even more impossible. It could not be that the person who took Young Master Qing Chen suddenly saw the ancient book and liked it so much that he took it with him.
Ye Li pondered for a long time. Finally, she pointed to the cliff in front of her and said, "Go up and take a look." Then she pointed to the lake not far away and said, "Go down and take a look." Immediately, a few guards in black walked to the cliff and began to climb up the cliff. Another two guards, who were good at swimming, slid into the water and sank silently.
"Princess, Young Master Qing Chen should not …" A few guards who were originally guarding Xu Qingchen thought that Ye Li thought that Xu Qingchen had fallen into the lake. They hurriedly tried to persuade her. If Young Master Qing Chen really fell into the lake, his body should have floated to the surface in these two days.
Ye Li waved her hand to indicate that they did not need to say more.
After a while, the guards who had climbed up the cliff came down. "Princess, there are footprints on the mountain. But … Young Master Qing Chen did not go up the cliff." It would take a lot of time and effort to bring someone who did not know martial arts up such a high cliff. Moreover, the chances of being discovered by the people below were too high. Moreover, there were no traces left on the stone wall or the cliff. Unless the other party was good enough to bring Young Master Qing Chen up the cliff in one breath and fly further without using any force. However, even a prince would not be able to achieve such a level of skill.
Ye Li sighed slightly. She did not have much hope at first. After waving the guards away, Ye Li silently stared at the rippling lake.
