Chapter 343

Qiao Qian, along with Wang Canglang and another "little follower", had just left the Xiao Mansion and was about to pick up Xu Yi from the examination hall.

I didn't expect to bump into Kuzhu as soon as I reached the door.

"Madam, are you going to pick up Master Xu?"

Qiao Xi nodded. "Exactly. Are you coming with us?"

Shen Qingyan should have known that Xu Yi was coming back today, so he sent him here, presumably to find Xu Yi.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Xi saw Kuzhu shaking his head.

"I am here on my master's orders to inform you, Madam, that you will not be able to pick up Xu Yi today. Moreover, Xu Yi will not be back in the next few days.

The adults told you not to worry. Also, don't go out for the next few days."

"Did Xu Yi go to your parents' place? Also, why can't I go out? Is there any progress on what we talked about last time?"

Josie couldn't think of anything else besides the last incident.

"I can't tell you where he went. Anyway, he's not at my parents' house.

Well, I have said what I wanted to say, goodbye."

After saying that, Kuzhu turned and left.

Qiao Xi was left with a confused look on her face.

"Girl, should we go back or—"

Qiao Xi frowned and thought for a while before speaking:

"No. If Xu Yi doesn't come back, don't we still have your master's family? Let's go pick up Han Yun'an."

Hearing this, Wang Canglang nodded, and the three of them continued to go to the examination hall.

"Hurry, hurry, I have to go see if my son is okay! Damn it, who is this wicked person? Don't let him get my son into trouble!"

"Mom, please go slowly. My brother is a lucky person and should be fine."

A strong man was supporting an old woman. They were not walking very fast, but their expressions showed anxiety and worry, as if something big had happened to the "son" mentioned by the old woman and the "brother" mentioned by the strong man.

"Hey, can you please hurry up? I need to go see if my brother has come out. My mother is still waiting for news at home."

"Hey, they're just walking along, why are you rushing them? Don't worry, with your brother's ability, even if something happens to others, it won't happen to him."

A young lady was urging a man who was walking slowly. Looking at her expression, she seemed anxious and worried.

"Huzi, hurry up! If you go too late, you might not be able to see the excitement!"

A boy about ten years old was yelling at another boy of about the same age behind him.

……

What happened in Baidi City? Why are people reacting like this?

Qiao Xi couldn't help but slow down her pace and look around.

She found that it seemed as if all the people in the house had suddenly come out and poured into the street. At this moment, the streets and alleys were full of people.

The key is that their directions are surprisingly consistent.

And surprisingly, it was in the same direction as hers.

Whether out of curiosity or influenced by them, Qiao Xi's pace was much faster than before.

It was not until they were not far from the examination hall that Qiao Xi was forced to stop.

"Girl, there are too many people in front. It might be difficult to squeeze through at once."

Wang Canglang said with a frown.

"Wang Canglang, squeeze in and find out what happened."

"But your safety, young lady—"

"Isn't there someone here to protect me? Just go ahead."

Before Wang Canglang could finish his words, Qiao Qian pushed him into the crowd.

Wang Canglang entered the crowd and was glad that they hadn't just forced their way in. He was a strong man, but he was squeezed so hard that his feet could hardly touch the ground. If the girl followed him, even if there were two more people, they wouldn't be able to protect her.

Qiao Xi estimated that the distance from her place to the entrance of the examination hall was about fifty meters.

I thought that Wang Canglang would be back with the information he had found out in about a quarter of an hour.

Unexpectedly, almost half an hour had passed and she still hadn't seen Wang Canglang.

Another quarter of an hour later, I finally saw Wang Canglang's familiar face among the crowd.

Qiao Xi couldn't wait to walk over, and regardless of the gender difference, she worked together with another person to pull Wang Canglang out of the crowd.

"What can I find out?"

Without waiting for Wang Canglang to catch his breath, Qiao Qian asked quickly.

"Miss, I'm afraid something has happened to Master Xu and my son. Most of the people blocking this path are family members of candidates taking the imperial examination."

"What happened?"

Wang Canglang shook his head:

"I don't know what exactly happened. There are too many people here, so it's not convenient for me to ask the yamen runners for information.

All I know is that as soon as the imperial examination was over, a group of people suddenly took away all the candidates.

And no one knows where they were taken.”

Hearing this, Qiao Xi's eyes darkened.

She originally wanted to respect Xu Yi and not use the system navigation to pry into his privacy.

But now she had to use navigation.

Qiao Xi used her spiritual sense to communicate with the navigation system.

"System, start navigation and find where Xu Yi and Han Yun'an are now."

"Navigation is starting, please wait... Searching for Xu Yi and Han Yun'an... Targets identified, less than two meters apart. Both are currently in the Dali Temple's prison."

"Prison!"

This result was so unexpected that Qiao Xi let out a low cry of surprise.

Hearing that she seemed to be talking, Wang Canglang and another guardian hurriedly looked at her.

Wang Canglang: "Did the girl say anything just now?"

Qiao Qian took a deep breath and waved at Wang Canglang as if nothing had happened.

But she still felt a little powerless inside and couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand.

Do Xu Yi and Han Yun'an have an incompatibility with exams? Otherwise, why would they face jail time as soon as they take an exam?

Why was he imprisoned this time?

Since Xu Yi and Han Yun'an were not in the examination room, there was no need for the three of them to waste any more time here.

"Let's go to the Shen Mansion!"

Kuzhu came to see them just now, and I think Shen Qingyan would know something about the situation.

So the three of them quickly arrived at the gate of Shen's mansion.

Just as he was about to knock on the door and go in, he saw someone coming out. It was none other than Kuzhu, who had gone to see Qiao Xi today.

"Master Kuzhu, is Lord Shen here?"

Hearing Qiao Xi's question, Kuzhu looked at her and said slowly:

"My master said that the time has not come yet, and he will not see you even if you come. Madam, please go back.

Also, the Master asked me to remind Madam to just follow his instructions."

After saying that, Kuzhu didn't give Qiao Xi any chance to speak again and closed the door directly.

It was broad daylight and the door was closed. It seemed that something really big had happened.

Otherwise, Shen Qingyan would not close the door and refuse visitors.

Qiao Xi wasn't one to passively wait. Since she couldn't get any answers here, she decided to ask elsewhere.

"Let's go back to the Xiao Mansion."

As soon as she entered the Xiao Mansion, Qiao Xi said without turning her head, "I don't need your protection now. Please go and call your master for me."

There were only Wang Canglang and another person by her side. Since Han Yun'an was in trouble, these words were naturally said to the other guardian.

The man was also smart. Without Qiao Xi saying anything, he glanced at Wang Canglang beside him and then went in the opposite direction.
