The divine beast recognized its master, and the dragon girl, destined to kill him, went to the spiri

Early next morning

"What? Seriously? Are you kidding me?"

"What...how could this happen? She's...hiss, so scary."

"Are you sure? What do the people above say?"

Jiang Xu, sleepy-eyed, yelled in surprise, "Who is it, so early in the morning? What are you talking about?!"

God knows that he was forced to practice by Su Shaohuai last night. He just fell asleep half an hour ago, but he was woken up for no reason. Damn Su Shaohuai, saying that he took me to practice, it must be a personal vendetta.

"I'm sorry, Master Jiang, please forgive me."

Seeing that it was the Ye family's maid, Jiang Xu waved his hand, "Forget it, forget it, you guys should leave quickly. I'm so sleepy, I need to go back to sleep right away."

"Jiang Xu, it's already so late, you should wake up."

In the pavilion not far away, Ye Wanqing and the other two had obviously been sitting there for a long time. Su Shaohuai slept with Jiang Xu last night, but it was obvious that he was not affected by the spiritual practice at all.

"Oh my god, Su Shaohuai, are you still human? After practicing all night, why are you still so energetic and clear-headed?"

Su Shaohuai took a sip of tea and said, "That only means that you are not capable."

Jiang Xu's eyes widened, "No? You say I can't do it? Come on, come on, let's fight again if you have the guts. Don't you know that men can't say no?"

Su Shaohuai glanced up and down at Jiang Xu, his lips curled slightly, and without saying a word, he turned around and poured another cup of tea for Ye Wanqing.

Ye Jingzhan watched the interaction between the two and chuckled, "Weren't you two still at loggerheads yesterday? You gave us a lot of information today. Last night..."

Su Shaohuai, "..."

Jiang Xu's mouth twitched slightly. "I didn't know that Senior Brother Ye, who is always so serious and rigorous, had this side to him. If the junior brothers and sisters in the academy who admire you saw this, they would be shocked."

Ye Wanqing's lips curled slightly. "I've always said that the best way for men to solve problems is to fight. It's just... it looks like Jiang Xu lost."

At this moment, the sound of whispered conversation came from not far away.

"Really? Is this true? Where did you get this gossip?"

"Of course it's true. Let me tell you...hiss—meetings to the eldest young master, the eldest young lady, Crown Prince Su, and Young Master Jiang."

Jiang Xu waved his hand, suddenly opening the folding fan in his hand. "Come here, you guys seem to have been talking about something this morning. What's going on? What's new and interesting recently?"

The maid looked a little nervous. "Master Jiang, we've only heard it, but we haven't gotten any concrete proof yet. We heard that the young lady of the Li family on the street went out with her maid to buy rouge yesterday morning, and then disappeared. It seems she hasn't returned yet this morning."

Several people paused for a moment and remained silent.

Jiang Xu stopped what he was doing, his eyes flickering slightly, "Oh? It took more than a day to buy rouge? Why didn't the Li family think of looking for it yesterday afternoon?"

The maidservant beside her added, "They must have searched for it, but they may not have found it. So I heard that the Li family reported it to the Lord of the Imperial City this morning. Perhaps His Majesty the Emperor Ji has already known about it."

"Missing? It turns out that disappearances really do happen these days."

Ye Wanqing was silent for a long time, carefully playing with the teacup in her hand, with an ambiguous look in her eyes.

At this moment, a servant came running over in a hurry, "Reporting to the eldest lady, the master of the family has something important to discuss with you, and it seems to be related to the young lady of the Ning family."

Ning Jiahe?

Thinking of the missing girl that the maids had just talked about, they looked at each other and saw a bit of surprise and heaviness in each other's expressions.

As expected, as soon as they arrived at the conference room, they saw that Ning Qi, the head of the Ning family, had a heavy expression on his face, and his wife Feng Yan was crying like rain. As soon as they saw Ye Wanqing and the others, they rushed forward.

"Miss Ye, do you remember when our daughter left the Ye family yesterday? Or did she leave alone or with a maid? Please, please tell me."

Seeing his wife Feng Yan getting more and more agitated, Ning Qi sighed softly and supported his wife who was almost unable to stand. "Ayan, don't get excited yet. Let's listen to what the children have to say first. Our girl wouldn't disappear for no reason."

Ye Wanqing's expression remained unchanged. "Yesterday evening, Ning Jiahe informed us to attend her birthday party, but she didn't stay long. She left the Ye family with her maid."

Ning Qi was startled. "She left the Ye family yesterday evening? Our girl's maid came home and told us that she was having a lively conversation with you young people and that it might last all night."

"We thought the younger generation had a lot in common, so we let her go. But it was already morning, and Jia He hadn't returned home yet, so we hurried over. It turns out she had gone home yesterday evening. In that case, He Er must have been missing all night."

"Well, my He'er."

Feng Yan couldn't bear it and fainted at this moment. Fortunately, Ye Wanqing, who was standing by, was quick-witted and took his pulse. Then she told the maid to take him to the side room and take good care of him.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the field was obviously more tense and silent than before.

Ye Wanqing didn't know what she was thinking about, her expression was slightly stern, and she happened to meet the eyes of Su Shaohuai who was sitting opposite her. As their eyes met, it was obvious that she knew that Su Shaohuai had also thought of this point.

Su Shaohuai nodded slightly and asked Ning Qi, who was standing beside him with a look of pain on his face, "Master Ning, has Miss Ning behaved in any unusual way recently? Or where has she been? Who has she met?"

Ning Qi frowned slightly and tried hard to recall what had happened recently, but found nothing unusual. He just shook his head with a painful expression.

"No, I've been preparing for today's birthday party for quite some time now, and I haven't left the house. I knew you were coming back yesterday, so I came to invite you personally. But who could have known something like this would happen?"

Jiang Xu thought of the rumors he had heard in the Spirit Beast Forest before, and pursed his lips. "I did hear about some girls going missing a while ago, but within three days, they came back. Maybe they are the clue?"

Ning Qi stood up suddenly and said, "Yes, I will send people to find the whereabouts of these girls immediately. Thank you all, my friends. Goodbye."

Ye Ting, who had been silent the whole time, looked gloomy. Suddenly, he said, "I have heard about this matter, but their family did not report it to the city lord. In addition, their daughter returned within three days, so the matter was left unresolved."

He suddenly looked at Ye Wanqing, who had been silent for a long time, and asked, "Wan'er, are you planning to go take a look?"

Ye Wanqing played with Ningyu in her hand, as if she had no interest in this matter from beginning to end. It was not until she heard Ye Ting's question that she happily raised her head and shrugged her shoulders, with an ambiguous look in her eyes.

"Go and have a look. Maybe there will be an unexpected opportunity."
