What caught Yang Xuan's attention was a young man of about thirteen or fourteen years old. He was wearing a manservant's uniform and was shuttling through the crowd to buy some fruits and snacks.
The young man's face was gloomy and his eyes were as cold as ice. As he walked, his eyes flashed and no one knew what he was thinking.
However, this was not what caught Yang Xuan's attention. What caught Yang Xuan's attention was the faint trace of Wood Spiritual Qi that lingered in the young man's body.
That's right, there was a small amount of Wood Spiritual Qi in the young man's body.
Yang Xuan's spiritual sense scanned the young man without hesitation. Then, his eyes lit up.
Unsurprisingly, the young man had an excellent affinity with the Wood Spirit Qi. In other words, the young man had a Wood Spirit Root, and it was the kind that defied the natural order. Otherwise, he would not be able to absorb the Wood Spirit Qi into his body without any cultivation method.
After the young man finished buying, he walked in a direction. Coincidentally, he was walking in the same direction as Yang Xuan, which was the direction of the Yu Family. Moreover, the small 'Yu' character on his clothes also indicated his identity.
When he passed by a dark alley, the young man looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he turned into it.
Naturally, he did not know that a pair of eyes were watching him.
After the young man walked into the alley, he let out a strange cry and a black shadow rushed out from the darkness with a whoosh.
It was a big tabby cat.
The young man squatted down and took out some food and placed it in front of the big tabby cat.
The big tabby cat licked his hand affectionately before it started to eat.
"Big Tabby, you have to rely on yourself in the future. I can't come to see you anymore." The young man said to the big tabby cat.
Unfortunately, the big tabby cat did not understand his words and only ate the rare delicacy.
The young man patted the big tabby cat's head again and stood up. After looking around again, he took out a small oiled paper bag from under a rock.
Yang Xuan's gaze was strange because he saw the young man open the oiled paper bag and sprinkle some white powder on the snacks he bought.
After that, he carefully wrapped up the snacks. After taking one last look at the big tabby cat, he no longer hesitated and turned to leave.
The young man quickened his pace and shuttled through the streets and alleys. Not long after, he arrived in front of a huge mansion. It was the Yu Family.
The gatekeeper obviously knew the servant. He opened the side door and let the youth in before closing the door again.
Carrying the snacks and fruits, the young man walked through a long corridor and arrived outside a courtyard.
"Second Miss, I've bought the snacks." He raised his voice slightly.
After a while, the door opened, and a maid poked her head out and said, "Bring it over."
The young man didn't hesitate. He handed the dessert in his hand to the maid and said, "The boss said to eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold."
The maidservant responded and retreated with the snacks.
After that, the young man left.
Yang Xuan kept looking at the youth. He wanted to see what this youth with the Wood Spirit Root wanted to do.
After a while, the young man reappeared behind a fake mountain.
Seeing that there was no one around, the young man pressed a few buttons behind the rockery, and a dark tunnel appeared on the ground.
The young man didn't hesitate and jumped directly into the tunnel.
Yang Xuan, who was hiding on the side, had a strange look in his eyes. Under the scan of his Divine Sense, he found that this tunnel was not newly built. It seemed to have been built for some years. Moreover, it led to every corner of the Jade Mansion.
Next, Yang Xuan watched the young man from the tunnel to the courtyard where he delivered the snacks. After opening a stone slab and climbing out, he listened for a while and directly entered the room.
There were two people in the room. One of them was the servant girl. She was lying on the floor, unconscious.
The other person was a woman, who also fell on the table.
This woman was dressed in white and had long hair like clouds. Although her eyes were closed, she still looked beautiful. Her long eyelashes trembled from time to time, which was very moving.
He looked at the woman blankly for a while and murmured, "I'm sorry!"
At this moment, the woman opened her eyes and saw a person in front of her. She was shocked.
"You, Chen Kai, why are you here?" The woman struggled but found that she was weak all over and didn't have any strength.
The young man was taken aback, as if he didn't expect the woman to wake up, but he didn't panic. He just took out a dagger from his arms.
"Chen Kai, what are you doing?" The woman felt that something was wrong and her beautiful face turned pale.
The servant named Chen Kai took the dagger and walked in front of the woman and said, "Miss Ruqing, I'm sorry, I'll have to wrong you for a while."
Before the woman could react, the young man shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Not good, the second miss has been caught."
This time, even the woman was confused and looked at the young man in confusion.
After shouting, the young man took the woman out of the room and stood on the steps.
In a moment, the entire Jade Mansion moved.
"Chen Kai, what are you doing? Hurry up and let go of the second miss. "The people of the Yu Family who rushed over saw the scene in the courtyard and were stunned. Then someone shouted.
"Let Yu Tianpeng come over." Chen Kai said lightly.
Yu Tianpeng was the Patriarch of the Yu Family.
Everyone looked at the dagger in Chen Kai's hand with an ugly expression, but they didn't dare to act rashly.
After a moment, an old man in luxurious clothes came in front of Chen Kai. It was Yu Tianpeng.
After narrowing his eyes and looking at Chen Kai for a long time, he said coldly, "What do you want?"
Chen Kai looked at Yu Tianpeng with a trace of hatred in his eyes and said, "Open the Heaven Scripture!"
Yu Tianpeng narrowed his eyes and said word by word, "You're a remnant of the Chen Family?"
Chen Kai smiled, "My surname is Chen, so I'm naturally a member of the Chen Family. Now that your precious daughter is in my hands, as long as you return the Open the Heaven Scripture to me, I'll naturally protect her. "
Yu Tianpeng's face turned ashen and said coldly, "How do you know that the Open the Heaven Scripture is in my hands?"
"You don't have to worry about that. Although you, Yu Tianpeng, were involved in the siege of my Chen Family, the reason was very complicated. I won't take revenge on you. As long as you give me the Open the Heaven Scripture, I'll turn around and leave."
"What if I say no?" Yu Tianpeng sneered.
Chen Kai tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand and said, "Then prepare to collect your daughter's corpse, won't you?"
The dagger was close to the woman's neck. As Chen Kai exerted force, blood flowed out.
Yu Tianpeng's face tensed up, and a struggle appeared in his eyes.
Seeing this, Chen Kai sneered and said, "Old thief, is the Open the Heaven Scripture more important than your daughter?"
Yu Tianpeng did not say anything, but his face became even gloomier.
Seeing that Yu Tianpeng was still hesitating, Chen Kai sneered and said, "Don't have any crooked thoughts. You're a Venerable One, but do you believe that I can kill Yu Ruqing before you make a move?"
Yu Tianpeng still did not say anything, and his gaze was extremely cold.
Chen Kai gritted his teeth, and a fierce look appeared on his face.
"Yu Tianpeng, I admire your ruthlessness." Apart from being fierce, Chen Kai's face showed some determination. "If that's the case, have a taste of the pain of losing your daughter."
After saying that, he slightly exerted force with the dagger in his hand and was about to stab it into Yu Ruqing's neck.
