"This is also what puzzles me," Elder Lin said.
It was precisely because he couldn't figure it out that he had been procrastinating on the task assigned by the headquarters after receiving it.
He thought of the incident with the spiritual pets before, where so many people had died.
Feng Yuqin mustn't be that easy to deal with.
But now that Qi Ruyi had kidnapped someone of Feng Yuqin's, he felt there was hope again.
"We'd better be more cautious," Elder Zhao said. "We lost so many people before. It won't be easy to find replacements now."
"If necessary, we can ask for support from the headquarters," Elder Chen said. "Since it was them who told us to capture Feng Yuqin, it's only right for them to send people."
"It won't be easy to get them to send people," Elder Lin said, looking at the others. "But I can give it a try. Or, we can exaggerate the situation and shift the responsibility to the headquarters."
"Let's use the spiritual pet as an excuse," Elder Zhao said. "Feng Yuqin's spiritual pet has been exposed. So many people in the guild know about it. If we don't take the initiative to tell the headquarters that it belongs to Feng Yuqin, what if they hold us accountable?"
Moreover, Elder Zhao was quite self - aware. There was only one spiritual pet. Even if they managed to seize it, it was more likely to end up in Elder Lin's hands.
In that case, why should he take the risk?
After hearing Elder Zhao's words, Elder Lin's face didn't look good.
How could he not know what Elder Zhao was up to?
But there was no better way now. If they wanted to deal with Feng Yuqin, even with a hostage in hand, it would still take a lot of effort to get her to agree to go to the headquarters.
In that case, they could only use the matter of the spiritual pet to get the headquarters to take action.
"Since we've decided to shift the blame to Feng Yuqin, should we start planning how to threaten her into handing over the pills in her possession?" Qi Ruyi asked impatiently.
"Have you made all the arrangements for Yan Geng?" Elder Lin asked.
"Of course. He's in the dungeon of our Qi family," Qi Ruyi said confidently. "Once someone enters the Qi family's dungeon, it's impossible for them to escape. So now we can contact Feng Yuqin."
"She's been in seclusion for several months. Will it work if we go to find her now?" Elder Chen asked uncertainly.
Because Feng Yuqin had tricked him, he had sent people to Feng Yuqin's courtyard several times to see if he could find an opportunity to get revenge.
But in the past few months, he hadn't found a single chance to vent his anger. It was impossible for him not to feel aggrieved.
"As long as we get the message to her, she'll come out," Qi Ruyi said. During this period, she had found out that these people indeed had a relatively good relationship with Feng Yuqin.
So she thought she could definitely make Feng Yuqin obedient this time.
"Okay, let's make the arrangements right away," Elder Lin said.
...
Meanwhile.
Feng Yuqin also took Xiaoying to the Qi family.
However, they didn't act until late at night.
"Master, I feel that the guards of the Qi family are quite strict," Xiaoying said doubtfully. "Do you think the Qi family would go to such lengths just because of Yan Geng? And Qi Ruyi should not know that you've left the guild, so it's impossible for her to set up a trap so quickly, right?"
Feng Yuqin also thought that the guards of the Qi family seemed overly strict.
"Anyway, we should be more careful," Feng Yuqin said.
Xiaoying agreed with this.
For some reason, there was always a strange feeling in his heart.
Actually, Feng Yuqin also felt that the atmosphere of the Qi family was a bit strange.
Moreover, her intuition was quite accurate. She always felt that tonight might not be so peaceful.
But since Yan Geng was in the Qi family, she had no other choice but to move forward.
Anyway, Yan Geng was implicated because of her. She had to rescue him no matter what.
Feng Yuqin used the spatial domain to conceal her aura and then quietly entered the backyard of the Qi family.
"Master, it's lucky that you have the spatial domain. Otherwise, with the current dense guards, you'd probably be discovered as soon as you showed up," Xiaoying said.
Feng Yuqin didn't answer. Instead, she concentrated on calculating the patterns of these guards.
After about half a quarter of an hour, Feng Yuqin avoided the guards and quickly reached another hidden corner.
Seeing this, Xiaoying sighed again, "It would be great if the space could move."
In that case, the master could move directly in the space.
In that way, unless it was a top - level expert, ordinary people would definitely not be able to detect her.
The master's space could only be used for hiding now, but it was impossible to move inside.
Feng Yuqin twitched the corner of her mouth severely, "You're daydreaming."
She was already quite satisfied that the space could be used for hiding. But Xiaoying actually had the wild hope that the space could move.
"We've got to have some dreams in life, right?" Xiaoying said with a smile.
Feng Yuqin continued to move forward. Since the matter was urgent and she didn't have a detailed map of the Qi family, she was simply shuttling through the Qi family based on her intuition.
Time passed by minute by minute. It took Feng Yuqin more than an hour and a half before she stopped in front of a stone staircase.
"Master, there's just this stone staircase. Are you sure we won't be discovered after going down?" Xiaoying asked worriedly when he saw the stone staircase in front of them with two people standing at the door.
"I've searched the whole Qi family but haven't found the entrance to a suspected dungeon. Now this place is the most suspicious," Feng Yuqin said, standing in a hidden corner and stroking her chin. "But I'm wondering why there are so many people. Logically speaking, even if Qi Ruyi captured my cousin, she wouldn't need so many people and such strict guards."
Xiaoying was also very puzzled. Staring at the stone staircase, he said to Feng Yuqin, "Master, I feel that there's something fishy inside, and it definitely has nothing to do with Yan Geng."
Feng Yuqin had also been thinking about this question before. But if it had nothing to do with her cousin, where was her cousin?
She had searched other places just now and hadn't found any trace of her cousin.
Could it be that her cousin had been transferred?
Then why were the guards here so strict?
Feng Yuqin thought that no matter what the situation was inside, she should go in and take a look.
"Master, there are only two people at the door now, and there's no cover beside the stairs. How can we get in without being discovered?" Xiaoying asked worriedly.
Feng Yuqin took out a bottle of powder and said, "Use this."
Xiaoying took a look and twitched the corner of his mouth severely, "Master, this seems to be the one you just developed a few days ago. What is it?"
"It's a kind of sleeping powder that makes people sleep for a short time," Feng Yuqin said. "After waking up, they won't remember anything. They'll only remember that they just blinked."
Xiaoying: "..."
