All was silent and no one made a sound.
What Yu Mingye said was true. Everyone here was a victim, for they had all been running around for nothing. That girl had taken it all —
The silence went on and on and on...
Yu Mingye stared at Feng Xun, who stared back at him. Both were on edge and a fight could break out at any moment.
In the end, Feng Xun gave in first.
He glared at Yu Mingye. “I would so fight you if we weren’t in a hurry to find Feng Xiaowu!”
Yu Mingye snorted. “Bring it on. I’m not going anywhere.”
Feng Xun waved at him impatiently. “I’m in a rush!”
After that, Feng Xun turned to Jun Linyuan and clenched his fists in a serious manner. “Boss Jun, we must find Feng Xiaowu! We have to!”
Feng Xun had to ask her himself: do you even have a heart?
The look on Jun Linyuan’s face was as indecipherable and aloof as ever. He nodded. “Let’s go.”
He turned to leave after that.
Feng Xun threw a dirty look at Yu Mingye and followed suit.
Shielding Fairy Muyao, whose face was still swollen, Xuan Yi left as well, his face still emotionless.
Yu Mingye clenched his fists in vexation as he watched them leave. “I’ll give that Feng Xiaowu a good kick in the ass after I catch her! How dare she make fun of me!”
“Young Master... aren’t you going to kill her?” The head of the elders was bemused.
That wasn’t like their young master at all. The teenager would stab his enemy in the heart while he smiled mesmerizingly at them. After what that girl did to him, all he could think of were some empty threats?
Had the girl upset him so much that he had lost his mind? The head of the elders couldn’t help but throw another glance at Yu Mingye.
“Shut up!” Yu Mingye glared at the elder. “Let’s go! Stay sharp! We must find that ugly girl before Jun Linyuan does! If someone has to kill her, it’ll be me!”
Listening to their young master’s empty threats, the head of the elders quietly pointed out the truth. “Young Master, it sounds to me that you can’t bring yourself to see Young Master Feng Xun kill that girl...”
“Shut up!” Yu Mingye glared at the elder in exasperation. He was very angry!
“Sure...” The head of the elders obeyed immediately.
As Yu Mingye searched along the river in agitation, he rubbed his chin and became unusually quiet.
Since their young master was so rarely like this, the head of the elders, who was always ready for a little gossip, stuck out his head and asked boldly, “Young Master, is there something on your mind? Would you like to share? Maybe we can help you with it.”
The eighth and ninth elders nodded in unison.
“It was just weird.” Yu Mingye rubbed his chin, looking intrigued. “Something wasn’t right about Jun Linyuan... but I can’t put my finger on it. What was it?”
The head of the elders said quietly, “The crown prince has always been that way — composed, expressionless, indecipherable, and never letting his face betray anything. What’s not right about that? Young Master, you’re overthinking it.”
“Expressionless... expressionless... Ah! I know what it is!” Yu Mingye snapped his fingers and cried out in excitement. “I know what wasn’t right about Jun Linyuan! He wasn’t angry! He wasn’t angry at all!”
