130: The enraged Ye family

Below the message, there was also a photo. In the photo, only one person could be seen, with most of his body already buried in the dirt, and only his face half-exposed.

That face was covered in blood and bruises, making it impossible to see his features.

When Bai Junchen saw this disfigured face, he thought it was Qin Shou, and his previously somewhat gloomy mood immediately brightened a bit. He replied to the message, "You guys did very well. I'm very satisfied. I'll have someone transfer the money to you later."

"Hehe, thank you, Young Master Bai. If you need anything from us two brothers in the future, just contact us anytime."

Zhang Biao immediately replied with a message.

Bai Junchen did not continue to reply. Instead, he deleted all the messages, even the call records with Zhang Biao and the others.

After doing all this, Bai Junchen put away his phone, a sinister smile playing on the corner of his mouth. He muttered to himself, "Hehe, The one surnamed Qin, dare to steal a woman from me, Bai Junchen? This is your fate."

Meanwhile, Qin Shou naturally didn't know the subsequent developments. He called a Ride-hailing service to return to his rented apartment, buying some food for Nuo Nuo on the way.

When he got home, Qin Shou saw Nuo Nuo still sitting cross-legged on the bed, surprisingly still cultivating diligently.

Qin Shou placed the food he bought for the little girl and the blood chalcedony in front of Nuo Nuo. Qin Shou had asked Ren Jing for this blood chalcedony when he left.

Although this item was valuable, to a wealthy young lady like Ren Jing, it wasn't considered rare. Compared to the ancient amulet Qin Shou gave Ren Jing, it was many tiers lower in value.

Moreover, this item was given by Ye Wuhuan, and Ren Jing already felt nothing for Ye Wuhuan. After hearing that recording today, Ren Jing detested Ye Wuhuan even more. Therefore, when Qin Shou asked, Ren Jing unhesitatingly gave the blood chalcedony to Qin Shou. She wouldn't wear it if it stayed with her, and she didn't even bother to look at it twice.

Nuo Nuo, who was originally sitting cross-legged in meditation, sensed the movement and immediately opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was the blood chalcedony Qin Shou placed in front of her.

Nuo Nuo was immediately drawn to the blood chalcedony, staring intently at it. A faint, almost imperceptible blood-red light flashed in her eyes.

"Brother, is this for me?" Nuo Nuo asked with anticipation.

"Yes, this is a gift I specially prepared for you, little one." Qin Shou nodded.

"Hehe, thank you, Brother. Nuo Nuo loves Brother the most. Brother is the best to Nuo Nuo."

Nuo Nuo's face lit up with excitement at the words. Suddenly, she opened her mouth and inhaled. Qin Shou saw a blood-red light, like a long whale drawing water, overflowing from the blood chalcedony and instantly being absorbed into Nuo Nuo's nasal cavity.

"What's going on?"

Qin Shou couldn't help but be curious.

"Master, Nuo Nuo is absorbing the essence of blood contained within the blood chalcedony. This is a great tonic for Nuo Nuo. For her, this is much more effective than a full meal, and it can even be equivalent to several days of her arduous cultivation."

Ling'er in Qin Shou's mind explained.

Indeed, after Nuo Nuo absorbed the essence of blood, Qin Shou saw her immediately look content, her face beaming with a happy smile. She seemed completely full, even letting out a small burp.

She didn't even bother to look at the grilled meat she previously loved the most, and contentedly lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Qin Shou couldn't help but smile and found a blanket to cover Nuo Nuo.

Although Qin Shou knew that with Nuo Nuo's physique, it wasn't necessary, looking at Nuo Nuo's harmless little face, Qin Shou really couldn't associate her with a demonic corpse. He just saw her as an ordinary little girl.

Since Nuo Nuo's realm dropped last time, her strength has been at Xuan Rank Late Stage. Now, with this blood chalcedony and the Supreme Yin Scripture, Qin Shou was confident that with Nuo Nuo's talent, her strength would definitely advance by leaps and bounds.

Perhaps it wouldn't be long before she could recover to her peak state, break through to Earth Rank again, or even go further. At that time, he would have another top expert by his side, and he himself should also gain great benefits.

More than a month later, the atmosphere in the Ye family mansion in Yanjing was somewhat oppressive. The reason was simple: the Ye family patriarch's beloved, the future heir of the Ye family, the second young master of the Ye family, Ye Wuhuan, had been missing for over a month.

"Have you found any trace of Huan'er? It's been so long, and there isn't even a single clue?"

Ye Xiangyun, the Ye family patriarch, was currently half-leaning on a carved dragon and phoenix zitan wood armchair, his face as dark as ink, his eyes gleaming with a cold light.

People stood on both sides of him, all with their heads bowed, not daring to breathe loudly. These people all knew their patriarch's temper very well.

At Ye Xiangyun's feet, a voluptuous woman was currently sprawled on the ground. Her clothes were tattered, her hair disheveled, and she had already fainted.

Her back was now severely lacerated, covered in bloodstains, and the blood had already soaked through her clothes. This woman was none other than Ye Wuhuan's personal Bodyguard, Gu Ling.

Because she failed to protect Ye Wuhuan, she incurred Ye Xiangyun's wrath and was beaten into her current state.

Next to Ye Xiangyun, a Middle-aged Man stepped forward. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was filled with sorrow.

"Father, I've found Huan'er. He—!"

As he spoke, the Middle-aged Man's voice choked, almost to tears, finding it hard to speak, even his voice trembling. This Middle-aged Man was none other than Ye Wuhuan's biological father, Ye Shenghuai.

"Speak—! Don't stammer!"

Ye Xiangyun tapped his cane. Although he already had a bad premonition, he still held a glimmer of hope.

"Huan'er, he was beaten to death by someone and buried in the Mass Grave on West Mountain in City. His death was too gruesome to behold. If not for his ID still being on him, our people would have barely recognized him as Huan'er."

As he spoke, Ye Shenghuai could no longer suppress the pain in his heart. He cried and knelt on the ground, embracing Ye Xiangyun's leg and saying, "Father, you must seek justice for Huan'er!"

"Who exactly?! Dares to lay a hand on my grandson, Ye Xiangyun."

Ye Xiangyun's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared. The veins on his hands bulged violently, and he actually crushed the solid wood cane in his hand, showing that this Old Master Ye was also a highly skilled internal martial artist.

Ye Shenghuai's eyes were about to burst as he said, "Father, according to Gu Ling, Huan'er did have some conflict with The one surnamed Qin in City. But according to the information my dispatched people found, Huan'er did not die at this person's hands."

Ye Xiangyun's face turned ashen, and he said with a gloomy expression, "If not this person, who else in City would have a motive to kill Huan'er? Although Huan'er's personality is a bit arrogant and he easily offends people, who in a small City would dare to lay a hand on Huan'er?"
