After Si Yu stepped out of the door, she stayed out all afternoon. Shen Ying got worried and asked Radish and Yu Hong to go out to search for her, but none of them came back even after the sun set and Lonemoon returned. She wondered whether something had happened.
The more Shen Ying thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. Could it be the masochist became angry after getting rejected and decided to kidnap them?
"Go and find out if anything related to the young master of the Yin Family happened today, " Lonemoon instructed one of the girls. He too felt that something was amiss.
Within five minutes, the disciple came back running through the door."Sect Master, the young master of the Yin Family got into a scuffle with someone this afternoon. They got into a huge fight. I heard it's the people from the Soul Chasing Tower."
"Soul Chasing Tower!" Lonemoon exclaimed, standing up immediately.
"Who are they?" Yi Qing asked.
"They're an organization that's neither good nor evil." Lonemoon frowned."The people in that organization are proficient in the hidden walking technique. Even high-level cultivators can't easily detect them. I've heard that their information network expands across the Three Azure Realms and they specialize in the private sale of secrets from various sects. As long as you can afford it, you can find out what you want to. Their main building is located in the west of the city."
"What did they capture our disciples for?" Yi Qing frowned.
"Maybe the girls won a huge sum of money, causing others to become envious!" Lonemoon tutted. He twirled the flute in his hands."But even if they're jealous, they should think about their own capabilities. Do they really think our Invincible Sect can be so easily bullied?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to Shen Ying and said, "Shen Ying, Yi Qing and I will make a trip to the Soul Chasing Tower. We'll be right back."
"Yeah, okay." Shen Ying nodded."But Little..."
Before she could finish, however, Lonemoon and Yi Qing disappeared out the door and headed for the west of the city. They were ready to sort things out.
"..."
A while later...
"Little White."
"Yes, Sect Master."
"When Little Red and Radish went out, didn't they say they were headed for the east of the city?"
"I think... they did."
"Then who are Lonemoon and Yi Qing trying to find?"
"..."
——————
Shen Ying had just been thinking about whether she should chase after Lonemoon and Yi Qing when somebody appeared outside the door. This person was wearing the standard blue robe worn by people from the Yin Family. He looked about forty to fifty years old and very familiar.
"Greetings, Sect Master Yi!" The blue-robed man bowed to Shen Ying.
"Huh?" Shen Ying hesitated a moment before remembered the matter of being blacklisted. She quickly regained her composure and said, "Oh, you're referring to me. Yes, I'm Sect Master Yi."
"I am the shopkeeper of the Yin Family's Zheng Feng Restaurant, " the man hurriedly began, looking very anxious."My patriarch has instructed me to invite you, Sect Master Yi, to the Yu Family's house in Huayuan City."
"The Yu Family?" Shen Ying's expression went black."Go where and for what?"
"Our young master, Si Yu, and Miss Yu Hong are all at the Yu Family's house!"
"What?" Weren't they kidnapped by people from the Soul Chasing Tower?
"I am also not too sure of what exactly is going on, but it does not seem like a small matter. My patriarch is on the way over right now. If we are late..."
"Let's go!"
Before he could finish, Shen Ying pulled the shopkeeper along by the arm and headed out of the door and out of the city in the direction that he had pointed out. Yin Tian Town and Huayuan City weren't far apart. Shen Ying ran so quickly that she arrived at the Yu Family's small house in an hour.
At the door, she bumped into Yin Feng and Xuan Yuanyu.
"Fellow Daoist Yi." Yin Feng looked surprised when he saw Shen Ying. How did you make it here so quickly?
"Great Immortal." Xuan Yuanyu's expression was one of utter surprise as well. He glanced at the shopkeeper next to her who was puking his guts out at that moment.
"What happened?" Shen Ying asked.
"The Yu Family said Yuanfei stopped them from catching the slaves who had escaped from their family." Yin Feng frowned as he spoke. He raised his head to look at Shen Ying, then lowered his voice and said, "Right now, Yuanfei, Si Yu and Yu Hong are inside. This concerns your sect, so I sent someone to inform you, Sect Master Yi. We'll only find out what is going on when we go inside."
When he finished speaking, he turned to enter the small house. Shen Ying followed suit.
"Great Immortal Shen, " Xuan Yuanyu rushed forward and called out to her.
"Yes?" Shen Ying turned towards him.
He forced a smile and said, "Well.. the patriarch of the Yu Family has always been a rash one and he is unaware of your capabilities. He might offend you inside. Please be patient with him, Great Immortal."
He had heard that Yin Feng had informed her and hurried over in case something happened. They were fellow aristocratic families after all. After what Xuan Yuanyu's family had been through, Xuan Yuanyu thought it appropriate to come down and plead on behalf of the Yin Family.
Shen Ying tilted her head, asking, "He's that ignorant?"
"Er... yes!" Xuan Yuanyu admitted."So... will Great Immortal, please... please withhold your might?"
Shen Ying hesitated and then nodded."Okay! I promise you. No matter what happens, I'll reason with them first."
"Thank you, Great Immortal! Thank you, Great Immortal!" Xuan Yuanyu heaved a great sigh of relief.
Perhaps because the patriarchs of the Yin Family and Xuan Yuan Family were both present, the three of them entered without anyone stopping them. They walked straight into the front room.
"You're talking nonsense!" They could hear Sister Si Yu's sharp exclamation from afar.
"You still dare to deny it at this point!" A formidable Soul Formation's oppressive voice resounded from inside the room. Just inside the door, Yin Yuanfei and Si Yu looked as though they were being forced to kneel.
Yin Feng rushed forward and pulled the two youngsters to their feet. He anxiously checked that his son was unharmed, then angrily turned to the man opposite from them."Yu Family Patriarch, what is the meaning of this?"
"Brother Yin, you're here." The Yu Family Patriarch smiled. He immediately put away his sword and scanned the three people who had just joined them. His eyes rested on Xuan Yuanyu as he asked, "Why is even Brother Xuan Yuanyu here?"
"Sect Master!" Si Yu immediately pushed Yin Yuanfei aside and rushed to Shen Ying's side upon seeing her. She tugged at Shen Ying's sleeve and cried in frustration, "Senior Sister Hong... they took Big Sister Hong!"
Shen Ying frowned and rubbed at her forehead. She pulled Si Yu behind her and scanned the people in the room before lowering her voice and asking, "What happened?"
Xuan Yuanyu trembled seeing her like this. Fortunately, he had spoken to her before they entered.
He turned around and saw that there were several people seated in the room. Their leader was Yu Haiheng who was accompanied by five cultivators of different ages. All of them were Traveling Immortals from the Yu Family.
The Yu Family Patriarch, Yu Haiheng, ignored Shen Ying. He could not even be bothered to acknowledge her.
Yin Feng angrily glared at Yu Haiheng and said, "Patriarch Yu, are you not going to explain what happened? How has my Yin Family offended your Yu Family that you would put my son in such a situation?"
"Patriarch Yin, you are mistaken." Yu Haiheng laughed humorlessly, not looking the slightest bit afraid."We are not going against your Yin Family, but the young master of your family insists on defending this escaped slave. We had no choice but to drag your son here as well."
"You're spouting nonsense. Who's the escaped slave from the Yu Family?" Yin Yuanfei blurted this out before Yin Feng could respond."Who doesn't know that Si Yu is the Golden Core division champion of that recent competition? Since when was she a slave of the Yu Family?"
