That's right!
Xu Donglin had ulterior motives! He was the one who insisted on writing a letter to His Highness Duke of Qin to tell him everything. As a subordinate, it was his duty.
But Boss Chu had taken care of him since he was a child, so he couldn't bear to see him die in His Highness Duke of Qin's rage. Boss Chu was burdened with the hatred of his ancestors, so it was understandable that he'd made such a mistake.
If His Highness Duke of Qin found out that esteemed wangfei had not only been kidnapped, but bullied as well, then Boss Chu would probably die a horrible death. Thus, he waited until Boss Chu was sent away before he took out the purple muslin robes with trembling hands.
"Your Highness, this is …"
Before he could finish, Long Fei Ye snatched the robes away. Han Yunxi had plenty of clothes, but only a few she often wore. Long Fei Ye recognized all of them, especially his favorite purple robes.
Only to see that the purple muslin coat had been torn to shreds and was no longer a garment. It was impossible to imagine how they'd been torn apart. Did they tear them apart after they were taken off, or after they were put on?
Even more unimaginable was what the original owner of the robes had gone through.
Long Feiye's weary face instantly paled without a trace of blood. His hands were clearly trembling, as were his lips. "What … what's going on?"
Xu Donglin gave a start and didn't reply.
He'd followed His Highness Duke of Qin for so long, but he'd never seen him like this.
He assumed that His Highness Duke of Qin would be furious and kick him like Boss Chu, or even punish all of the Shadow Guard. But he never expected His Highness Duke of Qin to be … afraid!
Even if Cloud Realm Continent fell into chaos, the skies collapsed, or the earth caved in, His Highness Duke of Qin wouldn't be afraid!
However, at that very moment, his entire body was trembling. Even breathing seemed to be difficult for him as his breathing grew heavier and heavier.
"Just what's going on?!" Long Fei Ye roared. Xu Donglin was so frightened that he almost jumped up. "Your Highness … Your Highness … esteemed wangfei, she … she …"
Xu Donglin was so frightened that he couldn't speak properly.
"What's going on? Speak! "
Long Fei Ye's angry roar resounded throughout the entire courtyard. If it wasn't for the fact that this courtyard had been restricted from entering, it was likely that it would have attracted a crowd of onlookers.
For the sake of the unity of the East Qin faction and her safety, he could suppress his rage and force himself to face Chu Xifeng calmly.
She'd handled the matter of Chu Xifeng beautifully. First, she'd misled the public so that the Tang Clan and Baili Army wouldn't dare to make a move against Han Yunxi.
Secondly, he'd use the excuse of investigating the person who'd spread the rumors to make the world question their authenticity. At the same time, he'd let Han Yunxi know that he hadn't known about her identity long ago like Chu Xifeng had claimed. Although it was a lie, at least Han Yunxi wouldn't hate him at this critical juncture and misunderstand him.
Third, he understood Chu Xifeng's hatred for Western Qin, which was the same as his own. Thus, he'd only crippled Chu Xifeng's martial arts and sent him back to Celestial Mountain instead of killing him. Not only did this serve as a warning to the restless East Qin factions, but it also prevented his subordinates from cursing him for being merciless.
He'd already done his best to maintain his calm.
But right now, his last bit of reason and composure had been completely shattered by the sight of the violet robe.
Yes, if he'd seen the robe just then, Chu Xifeng would've died in his rage!
The skies hadn't collapsed, the earth hadn't caved in, and Cloud Realm Continent was perfectly fine. But his own world had collapsed.
Han Yunxi, just what's wrong with you? Just what have you experienced? Where are you?
Han Yunxi, are you afraid?
Han Yunxi, do you know that your lordship will be afraid?!
Xu Donglin finally realized that His Highness Duke of Qin had lost control and regretted bringing out the robe. If His Highness Duke of Qin lost control, who would control the situation?
"Your Highness, esteemed wangfei is perfectly fine!" Xu Donglin shut his eyes and shouted. "Your Highness, calm down, calm down. Esteemed wangfei is perfectly fine with you!"
At least that was enough to set his mind at ease.
When he didn't hear His Highness Duke of Qin's voice for a long time, Xu Donglin cautiously opened his eyes. But when he saw His Highness Duke of Qin's bloodshot and stubborn eyes, his heart skipped a beat. It hurt so much.
Was this still His Highness Duke of Qin?
He was desperately waiting for a glimmer of hope, a faint hope.
Xu Donglin had followed His Highness Duke of Qin since he was a child. In his eyes, His Highness Duke of Qin was always high and mighty, always devising strategies and never panicking in the face of danger. He'd never thought that this god-like man could have such a weak side.
Xu Donglin wished he could come up with a reason to save His Highness, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that he didn't know how to explain himself or how to persuade him.
Even he didn't believe esteemed wangfei would be fine, so how was he supposed to convince His Highness Duke of Qin?
When a woman was kidnapped and her clothes were torn to shreds, to say nothing of anything else, her kidnapper couldn't possibly be a good person. Her clothes were already torn off, so how could they stop here and not continue? Even if they didn't continue and kidnapped her, wouldn't that be …
Actually, His Highness Duke of Qin should've thought of this as well. His Highness shouldn't have been deceived by his comforting words.
Seeing His Highness Duke of Qin like this made Xu Donglin even more afraid. He was at a loss for what to do and almost burst into tears.
At this moment, a figure suddenly flew down and rushed in front of Long Fei Ye.
"Big Brother, you're finally here!" It was Tang Li.
He'd been here several times and knew everything that had happened, but he didn't have the right to make a decision for Long Fei Ye. This wasn't a small matter, but an enormous one. If Long Fei Ye didn't handle it properly, the East Qin camp would fall into disarray.
Not to mention others, just his family's elders would've traveled day and night to interrogate Long Fei Ye.
"Big Brother, I'm going crazy with worry. What's going on here?"
Tang Li was very agitated, but Long Fei Ye didn't even look at him. He stubbornly stared at Xu Donglin and waited for Xu Donglin. His deep eyes hid coldness, viciousness, and anticipation.
Xu Donglin finally broke down. "Your Highness, this subordinate … this subordinate doesn't know what's going on either. Esteemed wangfei is blessed by the heavens and will definitely be fine!"
Long Fei Ye's eyes turned icy. Tang Li finally noticed that he was clutching Han Yunxi's violet muslin robes tightly in his hands. Tang Li immediately understood what was going on.
Could it be that Han Yunxi isn't a descendant of Western Qin's imperial clan after all? Could it be that all the rumors in Cloud Realm Continent were just rumors? That's why Long Fei Ye was so anxious! If Han Yunxi was a descendant of Western Qin, then how could Long Fei Ye not hate her?
But when he thought of Mute Granny and Gu Beiyue, Tang Li wavered again. Long Fei Ye might have long known about Han Yunxi's origins and kept it a secret from everyone, including his own little brother.
Tang Li hadn't paid much attention to Ning Jing over the past few days either. Because of this, he was almost tangled up in his own thoughts.
Xu Donglin fell to the ground, too afraid to move.
Long Fei Ye didn't make things difficult for him anymore. He looked at the familiar violet robes in his hands and suddenly turned to leave the courtyard.
"Big brother!"
Tang Li panicked and chased after him, but Long Fei Ye suddenly leapt onto the roof and fled like a madman.
"Big brother, wait for me! Where are you going?!"
Tang Li chased after him, doing his best to run and fly behind Long Fei Ye, afraid that he'd lose him.
Ever since he was young, Long Fei Ye had never lost control of himself except for Consort Wan's death. Even after Consort Wan committed suicide, Long Fei Ye had only chosen to keep quiet. He hadn't done anything out of line.
But now Long Fei Ye was clearly out of control. Tang Li was worried that he'd do something impulsive and ruin all the efforts he'd put into restoring his country.
Just what did Long Fei Ye want to do?
Look for her, of course!
What else could he do besides look for her?
His only salvation was to find the person he was looking for!
Just like that, Long Fei Ye, who hadn't slept or rested for several days, frantically searched through Medical City for an entire day and night. He'd looked everywhere he could find until the next morning. Finally, he dragged his exhausted body to the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds, to the cliff that Gu Beiyue had fallen off.
Tang Li followed behind him. When he saw Long Fei Ye stop at the edge of the cliff, he finally sighed in relief.
Tang Li was panting for breath. He was about to sit cross-legged when he suddenly thought of something and broke out in cold sweat. He rushed to Long Feiye's side and grabbed his hand. "Big bro, don't take things too hard! If sister-in-law knew that you jumped off, she'd definitely cry herself to death. "
Why would Long Fei Ye commit suicide?
He didn't know why he'd come here either. Perhaps it was to find Gu Beiyue. He wanted to ask Gu Beiyue what he should do.
He couldn't calm down at all and couldn't think straight.
"Tang Li, look for her. Help me find her. Search outside the city." Long Fei Ye finally looked at Tang Li.
"Big brother, how are we supposed to find her? The Shadow Guard and Medical City's guards have been searched multiple times over the past few days. What can we do outside the city? Are we going to search all over the mountains? "Tang Li asked seriously.
"Even if we have to search the entire world, we still have to!" Long Fei Ye said.
"Big brother, can't you calm down?!" Tang Li was furious.
"I can't!" Long Fei Ye was telling the truth.
"Big brother, I can tell you who kidnapped her, but you have to answer a question of mine first!" Tang Li looked into Long Fei Ye's eyes and was especially serious.
Long Fei Ye also looked at him. He didn't allow Tang Li to ask, so he answered first. He said, "That's right. Han Yunxi is a descendant of Western Qin! Will you help me? "
Tang Li was stunned at first, then he fiercely shook off Long Fei Ye's hand. "You used me! You've been using me all this time! You didn't ask me to help you, you asked the Tang Sect to help you! "
He always thought that Long Feiye had only helped him become the Tang Clan head because he disliked his father and Aunt Ru's prejudices against Han Yunxi. He wanted him to take the reins and strip them of their power.
However, he never thought that Long Fei Ye was worried that Han Yunxi's identity would be exposed one day and that the Tang Sect would be out of his control!
He was holding back. He was determined to be with the princess of Western Qin!
Tang Li shook his head in disbelief. "Big brother, you're crazy! She's the princess of Western Qin, the princess of Western Qin! If you don't give the Baili Army, the Tang Sect, and the Shadow Guard an explanation, no one will continue to be loyal to you! "
Long Fei Ye was indifferent to Tang Li's anger. He had already made up his mind when he kidnapped Mute Granny.
No matter what, he wanted that woman!
Ever since he was young, there was nothing that he truly wanted. There was only her!
"Tang Li, I'm only going to ask you once. Will you help me?" Long Fei Ye asked resolutely.
