Chapter 148: Chapter 148: The Experts All Prefer to Keep a Low Profile

"Fang Bai, here... here..."

Fang Bai had walked more than a hundred meters away when he heard someone calling him.

He followed the sound and saw Mingyue hiding in a small alley by the street, waving at him.

"Why haven’t you gone home yet? Where’s your classmate?"

Fang Bai walked into the alley and asked with annoyance.

"I sent my classmate home; they should be back by now."

Mingyue said with a giggle, "We share good fortune and face difficulties together. You stood up for me; how could I abandon you? I’ve been watching over here the whole time. If those people had dared to bully you just now, I would’ve rushed over to help you!"

"With your measly skills, you think you could’ve been any help to me?"

Fang Bai snorted and then said, "You’d better not tell your parents about today’s incident; otherwise, you’ll surely get an earful. And don’t you dare tell them I know martial arts, or we’re through as friends!"

Mingyue immediately declared, "I get it, you’re a master, and masters like to keep a low profile. Don’t worry, I won’t say a word to my parents about today— but..."

Her dark eyes spun as she continued, "If someone bullies me or my friends in the future, and I can’t beat them, you have to help me."

"I’m very busy and don’t have time for your nonsense!"

Fang Bai said and turned to leave.

"Hey... hey... don’t walk so fast! Are you going back to my place? Let’s go together... Your martial arts are so impressive, who taught you? Can you teach me? You know, my dad is also good at martial arts... really good..."

Mingyue chattered as she caught up to him, sticking to Fang Bai like a shadow and incessantly asking questions.

When the two got back to the small village they lived in, the sun had already set, and the light was fading.

As soon as they entered the village, Fang Bai’s nostrils and ears twitched slightly, then he frowned deeply, his expression turning strange.

"Hurry up!"

Suddenly, Fang Bai grabbed Mingyue’s hand and quickened his pace.

"Hey, what’s the rush? You’re hurting my hand!"

Fang Bai walked faster and faster, and Mingyue had to jog to keep up, mumbling loudly to express her dissatisfaction.

When they entered the courtyard they lived in, Fang Bai finally let go of Mingyue’s hand and began to survey the area with a serious and solemn expression.

Mingyue also finally noticed something was wrong.

At this time usually, her father should have returned from the slaughterhouse, her mother’s room should be alight, and the kitchen should be wafting the scent of food...

But now, the courtyard was eerily quiet; her father was nowhere to be seen; her mother’s room was dark, and there was no scent of food coming from the kitchen...

What made Mingyue feel most foreboding was that after searching every room, she couldn’t find any trace of her parents. The entire house and courtyard were a mess as if someone had ransacked the place.

Especially when Fang Bai used his phone’s flashlight to illuminate the spatters of blood in the courtyard and declared it to be human blood, Mingyue’s mind went blank with a "buzz," and she stood there frozen.

Even Mingyue, as slow as she might be, knew something had happened to her parents.

The houses in this small village were separated by forty to fifty meters each. Plus, it was dark, so if something had happened in Mingyue’s home, it would have been difficult for anyone to notice.

"Fang Bai, where have my parents gone? What should I do!"

Having come back to her senses, Mingyue cried incessantly, her eyes red as she looked towards Fang Bai.

Mingyue was rebellious, unconventional, and always ready to stand up for her friends in times of trouble, embodying the spirit of ancient heroic knights.

Yet, it was this fearless "Little Witch" who, at this moment, showed the innate vulnerability of a woman.

"Follow me!"

After observing the situation in the courtyard for a moment, Fang Bai glanced at the distant mountains and, without a word, took Mingyue’s hand and left the courtyard.

"Fang Bai, you know where my parents have gone, don’t you?"

At this time, Mingyue was completely panicked and lost, pinning all her hopes on Fang Bai to find her parents.

"Just follow me and try not to talk,"

Thinking Mingyue was moving too slowly, Fang Bai reached out, took her delicate and soft waist, and, using his movement technique, followed remnants of the aura, dashing towards the mountains to the north of the village.

Mingyue felt like she was lifted off the ground, as if she were flying, while the wind howled past her ears and the scenery on both sides quickly receded.

Mingyue knew she was moving very fast, almost like riding on a high-speed train.

Outside the village, there was no light, but the moon and stars shone down, allowing her to vaguely make out some of the scenery.

"Are we going into the mountains?"

Mingyue suddenly felt afraid, thinking what if Fang Bai had sinister intentions? With his formidable skills, she couldn’t fight or escape him, wouldn’t that be the end of her?

"If you want to find your parents, shut your mouth!"

Fang Bai was a bit angry. He was following the clues he had found, hoping to discover Mingyue’s parents’ whereabouts. If Mingyue kept talking, she might ruin everything.

From the chaos he had observed in the courtyard, Fang Bai concluded that the Qiu Zhan couple had been abducted, and those who had taken them weren’t alone or less capable than Qiu Zhan.

The disorder in the courtyard and the bloodstains peppered on the ground indicated a fierce battle before the Qiu Zhan couple was taken.

During a fight between martial artists, True Essence Aura would be released, and Fang Bai followed the residual True Essence Aura and scent of blood in the air, tracking them into the mountains to the north of the village.

Although Fang Bai had warned Mingyue not to speak, she was not one to be quiet and restrained; nearly every two minutes, she couldn’t help but ask a question.

Fang Bai was both annoyed and amused, so he decided to seal several of Mingyue’s acupoints, rendering her temporarily unable to speak or move, to avoid attracting trouble once they entered the mountainous area.

Entering the mountainous area and crossing several ridges, Fang Bai suddenly slowed down, stealthily approaching a small valley ahead, and finally hid in a dense thicket of weeds.

Peering through the gaps in the weeds, he saw six figures about fifty meters away, four standing and two sitting on the ground.

Upon closer scrutiny of their stature, the four standing figures were two men and two women, and the seated pair was a man and a woman.

"Just as I suspected, the Qiu Zhan couple has been brought here."

With his acute senses, Fang Bai could clearly see every plant fifty meters away under the light of the stars and moon, not to mention six living people?

The two figures sitting on the ground were indeed Qiu Zhan and his wife Qiu Yuzhi.
