Chapter 141: Chapter 83: Realizing They Caught the Wrong Person

Xing Yuan had crossed hands with Shen Ruoxi and deeply understood her exceptional martial arts prowess, by no means an ordinary person.

However, he had absolute confidence in the Three-day Drunk he administered, believing that with this drug, he could surely make Shen Ruoxi succumb and submit, so he didn’t lock her acupuncture points.

Seeing her awake, a cold smile played on his lips as he placed the Demon Flute to his mouth, waiting for her to lose control under the influence of the drug, so he could use her at will to practice martial arts.

Zhen’er awoke to find herself in a cave. After a brief moment of shock, she let out a scream that echoed across the sky.

Next, she frantically grabbed at the already torn clothes placed beside her to cover her exposed body.

Hearing the sound, Xing Yuan was momentarily stunned, disbelief filling his eyes. This voice seemed different from Shen Ruoxi’s.

The Demon Flute unconsciously lowered from his mouth as he hurried to squat down and reach out to sweep away the dark hair covering her face.

As their eyes met, Ning Zhen’er was terrified by the Ghost Face opposite, and Xing Yuan was completely stunned, his eyes bulging—who is this?

At this moment, Xing Yuan was extremely furious, cursing Liu Qian, that incompetent fool who spoiled things.

With fury in his heart, he thought, where is Shen Ruoxi? How could he have captured the wrong person!

Seeing the opposite side also seemed quite shocked, Zhen’er regained a bit of composure and raised her hand to slap him.

Xing Yuan had previously secluded himself for recovery in the Golden Saber Sect. Although his physical condition had improved somewhat, his inner strength was severely damaged, and his martial arts had not yet recovered to sixty percent of its former level.

Even so, his reaction remained extremely agile.

He quickly reached out, tightly grabbing her wrist, and shouted angrily, “Who exactly are you?”

In the midst of this tugging, Ning Zhen’er suddenly felt a wicked fire rise in her lower abdomen, immediately making her feel parched and dizzy.

Her eyes became blurred and dreamy, consciousness seemingly drifting away, and suddenly, she recklessly pounced on Xing Yuan, tackling him to the ground.

…

On the other side, Jun Moling had already escorted Shen Ruoxi to her tent.

Shen Ruoxi slightly bowed, saluting as she said, “Prince, take care. Your minister will not see you off.”

Despite the distant title she used, Jun Moling’s heart was filled with helplessness, but his eyes remained extremely gentle as he softly replied, “I’ll leave after I see you enter.”

Shen Ruoxi no longer insisted and turned to step into her tent.

Jun Moling lightly exhaled a sigh, feeling the lingering sensation of her delicate waist on his fingertips, causing the corners of his mouth to curve upward slightly.

He secretly marveled, facing her, sure requires an immensely firm and resolute willpower, this was certainly a sweet, yet heavy burden.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, he saw Shen Ruoxi suddenly lift the tent flaps and rush out.

Perhaps thinking he had already left, she was about to urgently call out “Prince…”

Seeing Jun Moling still near her tent, she quickly lowered her voice to say, “Prince, there’s the residual smell of Three-day Drunk poison in my tent.”

“Ah!” Jun Moling exclaimed in shock, “What kind of thing is that?”

Shen Ruoxi’s expression was grave, a bad premonition swelling in her heart, she said solemnly, “Someone is likely plotting against me, having placed Three-day Drunk in my tent.

This poison not only muddles the mind but also has an aphrodisiac effect.

Military Guard Ning should be the one affected in my place, by now she might have been kidnapped by that person, we must find her quickly.”

Jun Moling was momentarily stunned, secretly relieved that it was Ning Zhen’er who was abducted.

But immediately, he became puzzled and asked, “Why are the Qing Ning and Feng Ming at her tent unaffected?”

Shen Ruoxi patiently explained, “Firstly, the place where they sleep has a curtain that blocked the smoke’s intrusion; secondly, this Three-day Drunk is in the form of smoke, and its effect dissipates quickly in the air.

Because I am a healer, my sense of smell is more sensitive, which is why I detected it, right now, our top priority is to find Military Guard Ning quickly, I fear she…”

Shen Ruoxi didn’t finish, but Jun Moling understood what she meant?

Having used an aphrodisiac is all for that matter!

Recalling that the target was Shen Ruoxi, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

He decisively stated, “I will deploy more personnel to search immediately.”

Shen Ruoxi’s lips pressed into a thin line, her gaze firm, “I’ll go ask Qing Ning to see if there are any other leads.”

“Alright.” Jun Moling replied.

Shen Ruoxi nodded slightly.

Although she extremely disliked the couple, she did not wish harm upon them to the point of death.

Moreover, the villain’s original intent was to target her, and Ning Zhen’er suffered in her stead.

Besides, who exactly the perpetrator is and what grievances they have with her, if not clarified, they are bound to harm her again in the future.

So, no matter what, she must track down this villain who administered the Three-day Drunk.

However, this heavy rain was truly annoying, washing away many traces completely.

Despite extensive efforts, the soldiers only found some residual tracks outside the most secluded tent, but tracking them down, they quickly disappeared without a trace.

Upon learning of this, Xiao Chengyi became alarmed as well, after all, he and Ning Zhen’er did have some feelings, and feared something might happen to her.

In Shen Ruoxi’s tent, her bright eyes full of astonishment, “Qing Ning, you said Ning Zhen’er changed into my clothes?”

Qing Ning nodded carefully, “Yes, Miss. When she came in, her hair was all soaked by rain and her whole body was wet.

At first, I didn’t want to pay attention to her, but she insisted sincerely on thanking you and apologizing, wanting to wait for your return.

I thought, if she caught a cold here, it would certainly be our fault, so I found a clean set of your clothes for her to change into, did I do wrong?”

Shen Ruoxi grabbed Qing Ning’s arm, excitement overflowing visibly, “You did right, now we can find Military Guard Ning.”

“Ah!” Qing Ning looked puzzled, completely at a loss.

“You helped a lot.” Shen Ruoxi said joyfully, her face blooming into a radiant smile.

Finishing, Shen Ruoxi couldn’t wait to find Jun Moling, leaving Qing Ning at a loss, how did changing clothes help a lot?

Before reaching Jun Moling’s tent, she saw Yun Jiangxue coming out.

Her figure graceful, brows like distant mountains, upon seeing Shen Ruoxi, she softly asked, “Little Junior Sister, what’s going on?”

Because of the outside commotion, Yun Ningxue worried about waking Pei Xuan, who had just fallen asleep, so she came out to check the situation.

“Senior Sister, you go rest, Ning Zhen’er is missing, we need to bring her back first.” Shen Ruoxi’s speech was rapid, her expression anxious.

Yun Jiangxue had heard from Pei Xuan about their little junior sister’s entanglements with Xiao Chengyi and Ning Zhen’er, and just as she was about to say more, Jun Moling was already striding swiftly toward them.

“Ruoxi, any findings?” Jun Moling’s deep and magnetic voice rang out.

That intimate “Ruoxi” made Yun Jiangxue frown slightly, her eyes cast a puzzled look at Shen Ruoxi, as if asking, why does he call you Ruoxi?

At this moment, Shen Ruoxi had no time to answer her senior sister’s question, hurriedly saying, “Senior Sister, how about you go accompany Xuan? He’ll be anxious if he doesn’t see you when he wakes up. We have matters to deal with, let’s talk later.”

Watching Shen Ruoxi take Jun Moling aside, Yun Jiangxue opened her mouth but swallowed back her words, her eyes darkening slightly.

She had heard some things about Jun Moling, it seemed he avoided all other women because of one particular woman, even hesitating to marry, dragging it on until he was twenty-five.

She worried silently in her heart, hoping their little junior sister, who was pure and kind, wouldn’t be hurt again after being hurt once by that scoundrel Xiao Chengyi, lest she stumble on Jun Moling as well.

She was undoubtedly the treasured gem of Medicine King Valley, should anyone dare to harm her, they would surely pay a heavy price!

Her eyes cold, she returned to Pei Xuan’s tent.

“Marshal, I can find Ning Zhen’er, but there can’t be too many people, just you, me, and Xiao Chengyi are enough to go together.”

Pulling Jun Moling aside, Shen Ruoxi lowered her voice, her expression serious as she told him.
