"By the way, where's i Jie? Hasn't she shown up for work today?" Yun Hao, despite enjoying the special treatnt, had no desire to invite more trouble in his life. These won were already more than he could handle, and he feared that any more would send him to an early grave!
"i Jie hasn't co in today. Usually, she's always here early!"
"Ahem, you all keep working. I'll make a call to check up on her!" Yun Hao smiled at the ladies and quickly slipped out. But after dialing Yu i's number, no one answered!
Listening to the unreachable tone, Yun Hao felt sothing unsettling stir inside him, almost like a bad on. He hurriedly turned and headed out, recalling that Yu i's place was quite close to the office!
Even though it had been so ti since he last visited, Yun Hao's mory allowed him to find the place with ease. Within ten minutes, Yun Hao stood outside the door of Yu i's rented room!
"i Jie, i Jie, it's Yun Hao. Are you ho?" Yun Hao listened at the door for a while and, detecting nothing unusual, began knocking!
After a minute without any response, Yun Hao's concern deepened. Yu i must be in trouble. In his urgency, he didn't think twice before removing a small steel ring from his finger, straightening it, and inserting it into the keyhole. With a couple of twists, the door unlocked!
Entering the room, Yun Hao found everything neatly arranged, including the slippers by the entrance. As he surveyed the room, his confusion only grew. Everything was in order, suggesting no one else had entered the place!
But where had Yu i gone? She wasn't at the office or at ho!
The next mont, Yun Hao called Su Qiao, asking if there had been a mission that sent Yu i out. Although he desperately hoped to hear there was a mission, the answer was negative. No tasks had been assigned to her recently!
Yu i was in trouble, Yun Hao was certain.
"White Tiger, I need your help locating soone. I suspect she's in danger!" Yun Hao called White Tiger, who was a bit annoyed. "Bro, I've got my own cultivation to do, can't you just ask Cyan Dragon?" Still, he knew if Yun Hao was requesting help finding soone, they must be important to him!
Thus, after agreeing, White Tiger passed Yu i's na and info to Cyan Dragon, knowing that kind of work was Cyan Dragon's specialty.
But this ti, Cyan Dragon was dumbfounded. From the gathered information, he saw a familiar figure, Liu Wei. Wasn't he supposed to be dead? How could he be appearing again? It felt like a ghost!
No, though this person looked a lot like Liu Wei, their deanor was completely different, more sinister.
Finally, Cyan Dragon relayed to Yun Hao the direction taken by the vehicle shown on the surveillance footage and ntioned a man who looked strikingly similar to Liu Wei. From the video, it showed Yu i had been abducted by this man on her way to work that morning!
Upon hearing Cyan Dragon's account, a flicker of killing intent flashed in Yun Hao's eyes. Whoever this man was, he had to die. Swiftly, Yun Hao drove off, pursuing the direction Cyan Dragon indicated that the man had gone.
anwhile, a major event was unfolding at the Dragon Scale headquarters in Beijing. The usually quiet HQ was now adorned with festive decorations, walls plastered with celebratory red letters. It turned out that in seven days, two of their esteed Guardians would be getting married, an important event for all Dragon Scale mbers!
At the sa ti, Tang Rou was seated in a secret chamber, across from an elderly man with white hair and beard, holding a Floating and Sinking Stick and dressed in a Daoist Robe!
"Whoever you gave your Primordial Yin to, you'd better divulge it. If you locate him within three days, I still have a way to extract it and then channel it into Cyan Dragon's body!" the old Daoist urged.
"I won't reveal it!" Tang Rou spoke coolly. She hadn't anticipated her master wanting her to marry Cyan Dragon just to exploit her Primordial Yin to enhance Cyan Dragon's cultivation, elevating him to the sa level as the old Daoist's Fourth Grade Martial Artist rank!
Although Tang Rou didn't understand why her Primordial Yin was so significant, she was resolute in not telling!
For a cultivator like Tang Rou, Primordial Yin, once purity is lost, rushes entirely into the man's body!
Tang Rou didn't understand why this provided such substantial aid. Could it be tied to her constitution? But she wasn't even certain what her constitution was!
"Little Sparrow, don't be obstinate. Think about it—if one day I am gone and your powers remain this weak, unable to defeat even an Asura, how shaful would that be? Therefore, I must improve Cyan Dragon's strength since among you four, you're a woman, and White Tiger and Black Tortoise aren't as competent in managent as Cyan Dragon!" the old Daoist continued to advise.
"When I took you three in, it was because each of you had unique traits, perfect to serve as Cyan Dragon's left-hand and right-hand support. You know Cyan Dragon is destined for greatness, given his background and leadership!"
"Master, there's no point in telling you. I truly don't know who my first was. When I was drunk, I was taken away by a man, and when I woke up, I was alone!" Tang Rou felt a deep sadness, both for her misfortune and for Dragon Scale!
However, just then, a knock sounded at the door. After the old Daoist called for entry, White Tiger and Cyan Dragon appeared at the entrance.
"Why are you two in such a rush?" the old Daoist scolded with dissatisfaction.
"Master, that Asura fellow has gone to pursue the Miao Village people!" Cyan Dragon responded!
"Chasing the Miao Village people? What's the situation?"
Cyan Dragon briefly explained the situation involving Yu i, Liu Wei, and Yun Hao, then recounted the day's events. As he finished, the old Daoist couldn't remain idle, springing up with a flicker of light in his clouded eyes.
"Inform Boss Miao, then head over yourselves. Try to lure Asura into their trap. Regardless, Asura is too reckless and cannot be allowed to remain!" After pacing a few steps, the old Daoist decisively instructed Cyan Dragon and White Tiger.
