Their carcasses were piled up on the ground, somehow looking all the more terrifying because of the blood. Even the ever-brave Qin Hao covered his nose and looked away in disgust.
“Do a head count and see if there are any casualties!” Yao Yanordered, and his men promptly complied.
A few minutes later, Bai Jingcame running toYao Yan’s side with his brows furrowed. “Our men are all accounted for, but we can’t seem to find Miss Yao.”
“What?” Yao Yancried out. “Tangtangisn’t here?”
A girl disappearing on her own in this massive forest. It didn’t matter whether she encountered some hooligans or other beasts, she shouldn’t be facing them by herself.!!
It was too dangerous!
It was the first time Bai JingsawYao Yanlooking a little unhinged. His face was mottled with anxiety, his eyes flashing wildly.
“Young Master Cheng is gone, too!” Qin Haosuddenly yelled as he rushed over, looking panicked.
Now that they had someone missing from each party, they needed to act fast. They couldn’t afford to delay for even a second. Yao Yanknew this, but he couldn’t get a grip on himself.
“Don’t worry too much. Young Master Cheng should be with Miss Yao Tangat the moment. Besides, the young miss is smart. I’m sure she will be fine.”
Despite Bai Jing’s encouragement, he himself harbored a fair share of apprehension.
After all, that mysterious person who had appeared just a moment ago had managed to snatch the starry sky fragment without anyone noticing.
That man alone was a formidable foe by himself, let alone the other mercenary troops who were also hunting for the object. Who knew what would happen if they ran into Yao Tang?
“Right, right,” Yao Yanmuttered to himself as he massaged his temples.
He knew he needed to calm down and clear his head if he wanted to find Yao Tang. Otherwise, he might only put her in greater danger if he wasted any more time.
“Let’s spread out, but move as one team. We need to find those two as soon as possible!”
“Yes, Sir!”
…
In another part of the forest, a man was sitting on top of a huge rock. He heaved a long sigh before laughing up at the sky. “Getting the starry sky fragment was a piece of cake.”
Before he left Yao Yanand the others, he had set up a formation to trap them in the fog for some time. If they wandered too far, they might walk right to the edge of the cliff and fall to their deaths.
Now, the starry sky fragment was his, and his alone.
“Give it back!”
Before he knew what was happening, the young man felt cold steel being pressed against his neck. He glanced down and froze in shock.
The sharp edge of a blade was kissing his skin, its metallic surface glinting in the shafts of sunlight through the trees.
If it had pressed an inch further, it would have sliced his throat.
“What do you mean? I didn’t take anything? Have you perhaps mistaken me for someone else? Please spare me, I have no idea what you’re talking about!”
He begged and pleaded like a young boy. Maybe it was because of the air of mystique about him, but he looked a little older back then. He wasn’t old at all, though. At most, he looked like he was about 25 years old.
Yao Tang carefully slid the blade along his neck. “Cut the crap and take out what you stole just now!”
“No, no, I really didn’t take anything. I don’t understand what you’re saying. But since you were able to break through my array, you must be a disciple of a hidden aristocratic family, right?”
She didn’t even get to answer as the man continued, “The only person who is capable of this is the Tang family’s Young Miss, Tang Yu. Are you her?”
Yao Tang paused for a brief second.
“Hmm. You’re quite good at guessing.”
The young man thought his suspicions were confirmed. She really was from one of the aristocratic families.
How else would she have broken through the array he had set?
“Miss Tang, let me remind you that our families have maintained a peaceful co-existence throughout the years. If you attack me like this, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to explain matters to the elders.”
The man relaxed a little, and his lips curled into a smile.
He acted as though he was certain that Yao Tangwouldn’t hurt him.
“Name,” she snapped.
“Miss Tang Yu,” the man said calmly. “Do you mind telling me how many people your family has sent this time? You’re here for the meteorite, too, aren’t you?”
“I asked for your name!” Yao Tangbarked impatiently and pressed the knife closer to his neck.
The man was instantly gripped by fear. “All right, all right. Calm down. I’ll give you my name, okay?”
