Kang’er didn’t care about the small injury and was about to continue entangled with the black-clothed man when a strange whistle sounded. The black-clothed man withdrew without hesitation.
Kang’er still wanted to chase after him, but the man in black suddenly threw a smoke bomb. When she couldn’t see clearly, the man in black had disappeared. Even if she wanted to chase, she didn’t know which direction to go.
And Ning’er and Shou’er were also attacked, chasing after the figures of the black-clothed men. They used the same tactic, but the black-clothed men all disappeared.
Ning’er calmed down first, “Kang’er, stop chasing.”
Shou’er and Kang’er both looked at her with some bewilderment.
Ning’er furrowed her brow, “This probably a trap, a large force has come over. Let’s go back to the manor first.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Shou’er and Kang’er also heard the commotion. The three of them looked at each other before hurrying away.
That familiar figure was never found after all.
Back at Jingtang Garden, Feng Ming was also there. Seeing the bloodstains on Kang’er’s body, he frowned and said in a deep voice, “What happened?”
Ning’er and her two companions knelt on one knee, with Ning’er recounting everything that had just happened in detail.
After Ninger finished speaking, An Xuetang pondered for a moment. Regarding that figure, she was even more certain it was Fu’er. However, she really couldn’t understand why Fu’er refused to show herself. What had happened to her?
But she only thought about it for a moment, and seeing that Kang’er was hurt, she got up and went to treat her wound.
Mo Yunjing reached out and pressed her down. An Xue Tang looked at him with confusion in her eyes, only to hear Mo Yunjing say lightly, “They’ll handle these minor injuries themselves.”
Feng Ming, upon hearing this, glanced at An Xue Tang, then said to Shou’er and Kang’er, “You go and handle it yourselves.”
Shouer and Kang’er both responded with “yes” and then stood up to leave.
An Xuetang also helped Ning’er to her feet, “Ning’er, in your opinion… is that person Fu’er?”
Ning’er and the others grew up with Fu’er. They knew more about Fu’er than anyone else. An Xuetang thought Ning’er would know best whether that person’s physique was indeed Fu’er’s.
“She is Fu’er.”
When Ning’er said this, her expression and tone were both very firm.
Feng Ming’s face instantly darkened.
He subconsciously glanced at An Xue Tang, and Mo Yun Jing suddenly said coldly, “If you are unable to handle a subordinate in Tang Valley yourselves, this king’s Yun family army wouldn’t mind lending a hand.”
“….”
An Xue Tang frowned, before she could say anything, Feng Ming replied, “As for her, this seat has its own plans.”
After saying that, Feng Ming looked at An Xuetang, “Don’t worry about Fu’er’s affairs, A Tang.”
His words held an undeniable firmness, An Xue Tang’s lips moved but she ultimately said nothing.
A few people fell silent for a moment. An Xuetang looked at Ning’er, “Ning’er, you fought with those men in black today. Did you notice anything about their fighting style?”
“These people are deliberately concealing themselves; they’re impossible to spot,” Ning’er shook her head slightly.
And those people also brought the palace guards. They couldn’t figure out which way they went, and Fuo… she didn’t know where she had gone either.
Mo Yunjing stared at the teacup on the table with an impassive expression, but his mind was churning over the two characters: “Palace”.
Since he learned that Nafu was in the capital, both his people and Fengming searched the city thoroughly, but they couldn’t find her.
But today it made him remember that they had always ignored the heavily guarded palace.
Thinking about this, Mo Yunjing looked at Feng Ming. Feng Ming also happened to think of this point.
Feng Ming wanted to say something, but Mo Yun Jing’s deep eyes turned towards An Xue Tang. He reached out and touched her head, “I’ll go to the palace.”
An Xuetang was taken aback for a moment, “So suddenly?”
As soon as the words left her lips, she realized what she had said—she suspected that Fu’er was hiding in the palace.
An Xuetang, having come to an understanding, quickly nodded. “Okay, be back early.”
“Well.”
Mo Yunjing instructed Feng Ming to take good care of An Xue Tang before leaving with Yun Liu in a hurry.
“Brother, can you tell me now why you had Fu’er return to the valley?”
Now, when Feng Ming speaks of Fu’er, his eyes are filled with complex emotions. He thought that Fu’er had spent the longest time by his side among all of them. Even among the four—Fu Shou, Kang Ning, and Fu’er—he believed Fu’er was absolutely incapable of betraying him and An Xue Tang.
Now that so much has happened, he had to accept the possibility that Fu’er might have betrayed them.
Jian Fengming only furrowed his brows, showing no intention of explaining. An Xuetang couldn’t help but retort, “Brother, you said I’m the Valley Master of Xintang Valley. I think it’s necessary for me to understand my people, don’t you?”
Feng Ming’s face darkened, “From today onwards, Fu’er is no longer a person of Xuntang Valley.”
“!”
Ning’er’s heart skipped a beat. Her expression grew serious as she looked deeply into Fengming’s eyes. Seeing that he was truly not joking, her heart gradually sank.
It seems that Foler has truly angered the Valley Master, leaving no room for reconciliation.
Hearing Feng Ming’s icy and bone-chilling voice utter such a resolute statement, An Xuetang was momentarily stunned. After recovering, she couldn’t help but frown:
“Brother, we haven’t figured out what happened to Fu’er yet. Shouldn’t we be more careful before making a decision?”
Feng Ming’s eyes suddenly turned sharp as he listened to her. He stared at An Xue Tang, “You remember this for your brother, before we catch Fu’er, you must always be with Ning’er and the others. If you see Fu’er, stay away from her.”
“…”
His words only made An Xuetang and Ning’er more puzzled. What about Fu’er was he so afraid of?
