Chapter 1529: Chapter 1351: A Stormy Night in Jianghu

Nan Feng didn’t have much of an appetite, hastily swallowing a few bites of rice before feeling full, "Brother Ye, what do you think has become of those two kids by now? Could we sneak in at midnight? When we came out just now, I made sure to memorize the path. Even without Elder Yun’s flute, we should be able to avoid those poisonous insects and make our way deeper inside, right?"

Brother Ye, however, frowned, "I’m afraid that won’t work. Even if we can get through the woods, just the two of us are no match for their entire clan, and besides..."

"Besides what?" Nan Feng asked.

"The chieftain of the Chi Xia Clan’s true intentions are unknown. If he’s a good person, he wouldn’t cause trouble for the kids, and he certainly wouldn’t harm us; but if he’s bad, then we’re in for a fight tonight."

"A fight?" Nan Feng queried, "You suspect that the Chi Xia Clan Chief might send someone to follow us? If we’re in danger out here, then those kids..."

"The kids are safe for now, and even if the chieftain planned to harm them, he would wait until after Abao has completed his task. We won’t concern ourselves with his reasons for needing Abao’s blood, but if it’s for practicing Gu, the blood must be willingly given by Abao. If they don’t treat Abao well, he will never give them his blood. We have a month to prepare and figure out how to rescue them."

Nan Feng muttered to himself, "This is indeed a dangerous operation, but no matter the risk, we must find a way to save the children."

"That’s why we should eat our fill first. Without a full stomach, how will we have the strength to save the kids?" Brother Ye put a piece of beef on Nan Feng’s plate, hoping she’d eat some more. Nan Feng also reached for it and forced herself to eat.

Night gradually became quiet.

Brother Ye blew out the candle.

Outside, several dark figures moved stealthily towards the inn.

...

Xia Dabao had already bathed.

The night in the mountains was a bit sinister and eerie, so she closed all the windows tightly and slept in the same room as Axian.

The moonlight in the mountains was bright, making it possible to vaguely see inside the room even after the lights were out.

Although she had expended a lot of energy playing with Peony and the others that afternoon, she was still not the least bit sleepy now, tossing and turning in bed. She would think about where her parents were at the moment, and then about what the Chi Xia Clan wanted with her blood?

And the Clan Chief had said she had Dragon Clan blood in her veins, so her father...

Her father had claimed to be just a sailor before, and now a plain mountain farmer. Xia Dabao had never doubted this, but during her visit to the Bagua Gate, didn’t he speak in a way that was unlike any mountain farmer?

Could it be that her father truly had royal blood?

If her father was part of the royal family, wouldn’t that make her a princess?

Then all those times Tian Xiaobei’s parents looked down on her would mean that they lacked foresight, wouldn’t it?

Heh, Xia Dabao laughed to herself.

"Look who had no foresight, I, the princess, don’t care about you at all now," Xia Dabao muttered, then couldn’t help but laugh at herself, "What are you thinking, Xia Dabao? Are you a princess? Do you think this is a play?"

She turned over to face the doorway.

Suddenly, she noticed a dark figure moving at the doorway. Her heart tightened, and she sat up abruptly.

"Who’s there?" she asked coldly.

Just as she spoke, the Gatekeeper responded from outside, "Does the Lady need anything?"

It was a Guard.

That’s right, she had almost forgotten—the guards were always stationed at the doorway.

Her suspicions were allayed.

She continued to lie in bed, and later heard some noise outside, probably the guards changing shifts. She didn’t pay much attention.

Soon after, her room door opened...

...
