Chapter 522: Chapter 522: Eager for Revenge

"Something’s wrong, something’s wrong, Yiyi is missing."

Liu Yiren burst through the door, panicked and shouting.

Xia Yanbing and Lin Hongzhuang were stunned.

"Speak slowly, what do you mean Yiyi is missing?" Xia Yanbing wiped the tears from her face and asked.

Liu Yiren hurriedly explained, "I just went to Yiyi’s room and found she’s not there. I called her, but Yiyi’s phone is turned off."

Xia Yanbing quickly picked up her phone and dialed Duan Yiyi’s number, and sure enough, it was off.

"Could she have gone home?"

"No, I just called Duan Xinyuan, and Yiyi didn’t go home."

Xia Yanbing asked, "When did Yiyi go missing?"

"I don’t know, I haven’t seen her today, and when I went to her room just now, she wasn’t there."

"Could she have gone out to clear her head because she’s upset?" Lin Hongzhuang suggested.

Liu Yiren shook her head, "But why would she take her weapon? Yiyi took the case with the Golden Saber."

Xia Yanbing’s expression changed slightly, "Oh no, something’s happened."

"What happened?" Lin Hongzhuang asked, confused.

Xia Yanbing said solemnly, "Recently, it’s been widely rumored that Qin Yi’s sacrifice is related to the Vermilion Bird Guardian God. With Yiyi’s temperament, she’s probably gone to seek revenge on the Vermilion Bird Guardian God, hasn’t she?"

Lin Hongzhuang and Liu Yiren’s faces suddenly changed.

Lin Hongzhuang hesitated a bit, "No way, that’s the Vermilion Bird Guardian God. Even if Yiyi is eager for revenge, she wouldn’t be that bold, would she?"

"Yiyi is the type to love and hate fearlessly; there’s nothing she’s afraid to do."

Xia Yanbing spoke as she hurried downstairs.

"Wan’er, Miss Yun, when was the last time you saw Yiyi?"

Qin Wan’er thought for a moment, "After dinner last night, Yiyi went back to her room."

"Me too," Yun Mengyao said.

Xia Yanbing frowned slightly and quickly called Liu Zhanyuan, asking him to help check the airport and train station for any travel records of Duan Yiyi.

A dozen minutes later, Liu Zhanyuan called back, saying that at one in the morning last night, Duan Yiyi took a flight to Que Ming City.

Everyone’s hearts were hanging in suspense.

Que Ming City is the city closest to Vermilion Bird Mountain, which means Duan Yiyi really went to find the Vermilion Bird Guardian God.

"We’ve got to find a way to stop Yiyi." Xia Yanbing was full of worry. If Qin Yi’s death is really related to the Vermilion Bird Guardian God, then Duan Yiyi recklessly going to find the Vermilion Bird Guardian God will definitely be dangerous.

"But Yiyi left last night, and it’s been more than ten hours now. She’s probably almost at Vermilion Bird Mountain by this time."

Everyone started to worry about Duan Yiyi’s safety.

Yun Mengyao stood up and said, "I’ll go, but I don’t know if I can make it in time."

Xia Yanbing’s eyes were filled with hope, "Miss Yun, please, you must bring Yiyi back safely."

"I’ll do my best! While I’m not here, you all must be careful too."

Yun Mengyao went outside, unfolded her Seven-Colored Cloud Wings, ascended into the sky, and transformed into a stream of light disappearing into the horizon.

Everyone prayed in their hearts, hoping that Duan Yiyi would be safe. Qin Yi was gone; they couldn’t bear the blow of losing another family member. After so long together, Duan Yiyi was already like family to them.

Xia Yanbing kept trying to call Duan Yiyi’s phone, but each time was greeted by a voice message that the phone was off.

...

...

In a vast mountain range in the south, at the foot of a mountain, a white figure darted up tens of meters, picking an Earth Dragon Grass from the cliff.

"Jiaojiao, it’s almost done, come have some food?"

By the stream not far away, a campfire was set up, Yin Qingyi deftly turning the roasting wild rabbit on it.

Lan Jiaojiao lightly tapped her toes, her whole person like willow fluff, floating gracefully to Yin Qingyi’s side.

"Today’s harvest was good." Yin Qingyi glanced at the basket of herbs Lan Jiaojiao placed on the ground, smiling as she spoke.

Lan Jiaojiao smiled, a beautiful smile made charming by the flame mark on her brow giving it a touch of enchantment, "A few more herbs and we can soak in a medicinal bath again."

Yin Qingyi tore off a leg of the roast rabbit and handed it to Lan Jiaojiao, "Be careful, it’s hot. I can’t wait; every time I soak in the medicinal bath, my cultivation improves. Jiaojiao, I really adore you, knowing you is wonderful."

"Don’t overstate it; it’s all thanks to the Inheriting Heaven Pearl, okay? Otherwise, I wouldn’t know about this bathing method."

"Anyway, knowing you makes me very happy."

Lan Jiaojiao chuckled, "Knowing you all makes me happy too."

"As happy as knowing Qin Yi?" Yin Qingyi teased.

Lan Jiaojiao was startled for a moment, her lips curling into a captivating smile, "We haven’t left this great mountain for months. I wonder how he’s doing. Once we’ve gathered enough herbs for the medicinal bath, I want to return to Yinfeng City to see."

"Okay, I’ll go with you. I quite like that guy Qin Yi, too."

Lan Jiaojiao looked at her curiously.

"Oh, I mean I appreciate him. I know he’s the man you have your eye on; I won’t compete with you."

Lan Jiaojiao chuckled, her smile a bit bitter, "No one can take him away from her; he belongs to Xia Yanbing. I only wish for him to be well, and that will make me happy."

"Love so humble, if you like him then take him."

"You don’t understand, love doesn’t always mean possession. As long as he’s happy, that’s enough for me."

Yin Qingyi rolled her eyes, "I really don’t understand your strange thinking. If I liked a man, I’d tie him to me even if it meant using force."

Lan Jiaojiao was just about to speak when a silver shadow flashed swiftly towards them.

"Brother Yin Chen is back." Lan Jiaojiao greeted with a smile.

Yin Chen, still as cool as ever, handed over a flower.

"Yes, it’s indeed a Seven-star Flower. Brother Yin Chen, thank you for your hard work. Come and have some food."

Yin Chen sat down, took a piece of meat but didn’t eat it, glancing at Lan Jiaojiao from time to time, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Yin Qingyi’s face was full of playful amusement, "Brother, why do you keep sneaking looks at Jiaojiao? I know she’s pretty, but she already has someone she likes, so you have no chance."

Yin Chen’s face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he glared at Yin Qingyi.

"Jiaojiao, I have something to tell you."

Lan Jiaojiao looked up, confused at Yin Chen.

"Brother, are you about to confess?" Yin Qingyi teased, "If you’re confessing, I’ll fully support you."

Lan Jiaojiao looked at Yin Chen’s hesitant expression, and couldn’t help feeling nervous. Was he really about to confess to her? But in her heart there was only Qin Yi, she had always regarded Yin Chen as an older brother. Would refusing him destroy their current relationship?

"I just ran into a group of people gathering herbs in the mountains." Yin Chen suddenly said.

Hmm?

Yin Qingyi and Lan Jiaojiao were taken aback, looking at Yin Chen in confusion. This mountain wasn’t their private territory; it was normal for someone to be gathering herbs.

"Brother, are you just too embarrassed to confess, so you’re beating around the bush?"

Yin Chen ignored Yin Qingyi’s banter and looked at Lan Jiaojiao, "I heard them talking about something concerning Qin Yi."
