The sunlight gently penetrates the mist and shines on the winding mountains. The mountains are hazy, like an elegant ink painting.

The stream is gurgling and crystal clear, and the scattered sunlight is dancing on the water, flashing with golden light.

All around, lush trees stand tall and straight, and a few wild flowers occasionally appear among the green leaves. Red, yellow, and blue flowers bloom in competition, emitting a faint fragrance.

The birds are singing happily on the branches, their songs are clear and melodious, and the occasional roar of mountain streams in the distance interweaves into a symphony of nature, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, as if they have stepped into a fairyland far away from the hustle and bustle.

A well-matched man and woman walked side by side along the forest path.

They had a very pleasant conversation, talking and laughing.

Like a perfect couple with a very good relationship.

Axia and Uncle Qin, who were following behind Lianxin and Beixin, were also walking side by side.

When Axia saw that Lianxin and Beixin got along very well, she couldn't help but smile and felt extremely happy.

Uncle Qin was puzzled when he saw the little girl beside him staring at his young master and princess and laughing, not knowing what she was laughing at.

"Axia girl, why are you staring at the young master and the princess and laughing? Is there something so funny?"

As soon as Axia heard this, she knew that Uncle Qin didn't notice the subtle changes between Bei Xin and Lian Xin. She couldn't help but grin and waved to Uncle Qin, asking him to come closer.

Uncle Qin was a little confused, then walked closer.

"what?"

A-Xia looked ahead and whispered, "Don't you think my princess and your young master are a perfect match?"

After she finished speaking, she couldn't suppress a smile, and she had to cover her mouth to restrain it a little.

Uncle Qin only understood what Axia meant at this time. He glanced at Bei Xin and Lian Xin, then raised his hand and touched his chin with some stubble.

"Axia girl, are you trying to bring my young master and your princess together?"

A-Xia nodded immediately: "Of course, I think they are a perfect match, and I think Young Master Bei Xin will definitely treat my princess well."

Uncle Qin didn't say anything against it, but instead asked A-Xia a question: "You have such an idea, but have you asked your princess what she thinks? You should know that in this kind of matter, a woman's thoughts are more important."

Axia understood what Uncle Qin meant. If the princess didn't have this idea, what she wanted to do was to match people up randomly.

"I understand. Uncle Qin, I also want to ask you for a favor. Please find out what Young Master Bei Xin is thinking. I will definitely buy you the best fermented rice wine in Zhuangcheng as a gift!"

Uncle Qin touched his chin and began to think about the possibility of bringing Bei Xin and Lian Xin together. Of course, he didn't have this idea just for a pot of good wine.

"Easy to say."

While Axia and Uncle Qin were plotting something, Beixin and Lianxin were also getting along well. Beixin learned to read sign language, and communication between the two of them suddenly became more barrier-free.

They had a great time talking to each other, creating a wonderful atmosphere for both of them.

As the two pairs of master and servant walked one after the other in the tree-lined avenue, two figures were hidden deep in the dense forest.

"It's true that we are on opposite sides of the road."

Lin Ming narrowed his eyes and stared at Bei Xin and Lian Xin not far away.

The attendant beside him also saw this and couldn't help but whispered, "Sir, that dumb princess has rejected you time and time again, and now she's having a passionate affair with a man from another race. She's simply ungrateful! Should we find an opportunity to teach her a lesson?"

Lin Ming had long been resentful of Lian Xin's repeated rejections. He had also been hit by a dart from Bei Xin before, injuring his face, which hadn't fully healed yet.

Now his hatred towards Bei Xin and Lian Xin has reached its peak.

"A lesson must be taught." Lin Ming raised his eyebrows sinisterly.

-

Almost every half a month, Lianxin and Beixin would make plans to go out together.

Although it was Bei Xin who was talking and Lian Xin who was listening, neither of them seemed to feel that there was anything wrong with it. Or perhaps it could be said that Bei Xin was always considerate and caring towards Lian Xin, so that Lian Xin did not feel uncomfortable at all.

In a superior room of an inn, Bei Xin was flipping through the notebook in which he had copied Asha's sign language manuscript.

I read it very carefully and studied it repeatedly.

When Uncle Qin came in with lunch, he saw Bei Xin reading seriously and was no longer surprised.

Ever since he saw Bei Xin copy a sign language manuscript, he could be seen taking it out to study whenever he had free time. The way he read was even more serious than when he was learning the art of disguise.

Seeing this, Uncle Qin placed the lunch on the table and jokingly said, "Young Master seems to treat this princess differently."

After these words were spoken, Bei Xin paused holding the book, and then said lightly, "The princess's life story is pitiful, and she is such a gentle woman, yet she has such a stubborn illness. I can't bear it, but it's good to be able to give her some warmth and kindness."

Uncle Qin looked at Bei Xin and saw that his expression was slightly calm, but there was a certain emotion in his eyes that even he himself had not noticed. Uncle Qin understood that he was just unaware of the situation he was in.

Suddenly, there was a lot of noise outside the door.

Uncle Qin, upon hearing this, asked outside with a serious expression, "When did all this commotion start? Didn't you know the young master was having dinner?"

At this time, a servant came in anxiously to report: "It was my subordinate who failed to stop a girl. The girl looked anxious and seemed to have something important to ask the young master."

"What's the matter?" Uncle Qin asked coldly.

Before the servant could say anything, Axia rushed in, his face full of anxiety, sweat all over his face, and he looked at Beixin while panting.

Uncle Qin was slightly surprised when he saw A-Xia: "Miss A-Xia?"

Bei Xin also saw Axia and quickly put down the notebook in his hand and asked, "Miss Axia, is there something wrong? Why are you so anxious?"

A-Xia was already crying anxiously, and quickly said: "Master, the princess is missing!"

Hearing that Lian Xin was missing, Bei Xin was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became panicked and anxious, but he soon calmed down and hurriedly ordered Uncle Qin: "Uncle Qin, send someone to look for her quickly!"

Uncle Qin naturally realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately ordered people to find the person.

"Miss Axia, when did you find out that the princess was missing? When was the last time you saw the princess?" Bei Xin walked up to Axia and asked anxiously.

A-Xia was also in a panic, her eyes red, and her voice trembled a little. "I, I went to see the princess today at noon, carrying lunch. In the past, when the princess dined at Yipinxiang, I was responsible for serving the dishes. I did the same as usual today, but, I don't know why, when I opened the door today, I found that the princess was gone, and one of her hairpins had fallen to the ground. Young Master, what should I do? What should I do if something happened to my princess?"

Bei Xin also felt very uncomfortable. He was a little panicked, but he kept telling himself not to panic, otherwise it would be easy for him to make wrong judgments.

He sorted out the information Axia told him one by one, paced back and forth, and thought for a long time.

Bei Xin looked at Axia and asked, "Who is the princess grudge against in Zhuangcheng? Or is there anyone who has a bad relationship with the princess?"

Ah Xia rubbed her hands together in panic, thinking for a moment. Then she finally came up with something, but she wasn't quite sure: "Enmity? My princess is usually kind and wouldn't make enemies with anyone. As for a bad relationship, it's probably with the young master of the Lin family. When the princess first came to Zhuangcheng, Lord Lin hosted a banquet for her, but the princess didn't feel comfortable turning down the invitation, so she went."

"That Master Lin was attracted by the princess's beauty and even pestered her after the banquet. The princess had already politely declined, but Master Lin persisted for several days. After the princess clearly rejected him, he became like a madman, speaking ill of the princess everywhere!"

Bei Xin had already roughly guessed who had kidnapped the princess, and he immediately cast a look at Uncle Qin.

Uncle Qin also noticed Bei Xin's gaze, and he turned around and walked out.

Bei Xin looked at Axia, who was still in a state of panic and anger, and said to her, "Miss Axia, please stay here. I will find the princess back."

When Axia heard this, she quickly said, "No, I want to go find it too!"

Bei Xin said calmly, "The princess must care about you very much, Miss Axia. I also know that man's methods. He is a ruthless guy. If you go out, it will be easy for you to get into trouble. Also, I promise one thing, I will definitely find the princess. If anything happens to you, the princess will be very sad. Just wait for news here."

Axia understood Bei Xin's intention and knew that she couldn't cause trouble for them at this time. She looked at Bei Xin and asked, "Young Master, you must bring the princess back safely!"

"must!"

After saying that, Bei Xin left the room and hurried to look for someone.

"Young Master, someone saw Lin Ming go to a farm in the suburbs early this morning." Uncle Qin came with the news.

Upon hearing this, Bei Xin narrowed his eyes, his expression frighteningly stern, and his voice icy: "I remember that Lord Lin seemed to dislike people who were out of control."

Uncle Qin immediately understood what Bei Xin meant and said, "I will inform Lord Lin about this as soon as possible."

"Now let Zixun and the others follow me to the suburbs. Zixun and the others will go from another road, and I will go the right way alone." Bei Xin already had a specific rescue plan in his mind.

Although Uncle Qin was worried about Bei Xin, he did not object to Bei Xin's arrangement. He agreed and went to do it.

-

The woodshed of a suburban farm.

In the woodshed, dim light barely penetrated the narrow windows, illuminating a cold and damp scene.

The surrounding walls were covered with mottled moss, and the hay piled in the corner gave off a musty smell, which mixed with the damp earth smell in the air, making it nauseating.

There was a thin layer of water droplets on the ground that seemed to never dry up, and every step was accompanied by a sticky feeling.

The wooden door frame had been rotten due to years of disrepair and had long been corroded by moisture. It creaked with the slightest push, as if it would collapse at any time.

Spider webs were intertwined between the beams and pillars, and occasionally a few mice would run by, adding a bit of desolation and horror.

Lianxin opened her eyes in a daze, only to feel dizzy. It took her a while to slowly adapt to the dimness and discomfort in front of her eyes.

When she saw herself in such an environment, she felt a little panicked. She wanted to get up, but found that her hands and feet were tied up with ropes and she could not move.

Suddenly, a feeling of fear came over her heart, and Lianxin couldn't hold back her tears, which fell from her eyes.

She was scared and panicked. Faced with such a situation, the first person she thought of was Bei Xin. She hoped that Bei Xin could come to find her. She panicked and started crying.

At this time, the door of the woodshed was pushed open forcefully from the outside.

Lianxin's heart skipped a beat and she looked towards the door fearfully. When she saw the person she least wanted to see, she shrank back in fear.

When Lin Ming saw Lian Xin's pretty face showing a look of pity, he felt happy but also a bit violent.

"Haha, scared?"

Seeing Lin Ming approaching her step by step, Lianxin shrank back crying, trembling with fear. The horrible memory that she had buried deep in her heart instantly came to her head.

The more Lin Ming saw Lianxin like this, the more excited he became. He walked over, squatted down, and reached out to grab Lianxin's shoulders. Lianxin struggled desperately, her eyes crying like a poor little rabbit.

"This is the consequence of rejecting me. Don't even think that alien man can save you. Even if he guesses that I'm the one who captured you, so what? I ambushed many people on his way here. He wouldn't have survived. I investigated how many people he brought with him this time. How could those ordinary guards be a match for the martial arts masters I hired?"

Lin Ming raised his hand with a wicked smile, gently stroking Lian Xin's face. Seeing her trembling with fear only made him more agitated. He grabbed her chin tightly, forced her close to him, and said fiercely: "I'm giving you face, so you should have agreed to my request! If it weren't for your deceased adoptive father who gave you this status as a princess, I would not have looked down on you based on your former status as a humble fisherman's daughter! You are so shameless!"

The fear in Lianxin's eyes was as dark as the abyss and continued to spread.

Lin Ming's hands were like cold iron pliers, tightly clamping her chin, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Her heartbeat was as frantic as a drum, and every beat threatened to burst through her chest. Her tears fell like beads from a broken string, mixing with the mud on her face, making her look even more helpless.

Her eyes were filled with despair, as if the whole world had collapsed, pressing her into endless darkness.

She wanted to scream, but could only make faint sobs. The sound echoed in the empty woodshed, adding a bit of desolation and horror.

Lin Ming's smile was like a ghost, causing the fear in her heart to surge like a tide, almost drowning her.

Seeing Lin Ming's face getting bigger and bigger in her blurry vision, Lianxin's heart began to despair and numb, and she didn't know how many tears had fallen from the corners of her eyes.

At this moment, there was a burst of panic and screams outside.

Immediately afterwards, a figure was thrown in from outside. Lin Ming was startled, looked over angrily, and cursed.

"who!"

Bei Xin strode in against the light, looking at Lin Ming coldly. He was holding the collar of a servant who had fainted and was covered in blood. He coldly threw the servant in front of Lin Ming.

"I, Bei Xin."

When Lin Ming saw that Bei Xin had arrived here safely, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.

"You! How did you get here alive?"

Bei Xin narrowed his eyes, sneered, and then without saying a word to Lin Ming, he kicked him hard. Lin Ming was no match for Bei Xin, who was skilled in martial arts. He was kicked into the wall in an instant, spit out blood, and fainted immediately.
