Chapter 1394 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
For three days in a row, no messages were sent from the mysterious organization.
Even though they knew that Yi Xiaolan should be safe at this time, the people waiting were still very anxious. Xu Shan, as her husband, was already restless.
Unfortunately, apart from waiting, no one present could do anything about those mysterious organizations; they couldn't find any trace of them.
"We couldn't find them. There wasn't a single trace of them; it's as if they vanished into thin air," Yan Rugo said, his face full of regret and worry.
The Yan family has a large business and extensive connections, so getting information should be easy for them, right? However, they were still helpless when faced with the mysterious organization that kidnapped Yi Xiaolan.
Xu Shangang's hopes of rising to the top were dashed once again.
He had received too much feedback like this over the past three days, and he was starting to feel irritated.
Even so, he could only keep reassuring himself that those who wanted the Heavenly Blade would definitely appear.
On the fifth day, the familiar dart appeared before Xu Shan once again. He quickly caught it, not caring whether it was a trap or not. After reading the note on it, Xu Shan felt relieved.
Seeing that everyone was watching, he handed out the note: "It's them. They arranged a time and place with me, the day after tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Shan also felt a sense of relief. While the Heaven-Asking Blade held great significance for him, it was now severely impacting his family's life. Now that the secret was known, handing over the Heaven-Asking Blade wasn't necessarily a bad thing; at least his family could finally enjoy peace.
Once things have calmed down, he will go to the place left by his ancestors, and perhaps then he can finally have some peace and quiet.
At the appointed time, Xu Shan and his group headed to their destination early in the morning.
As for Azhen and the other children, they were instructed to stay at the mansion and not run around.
This time, Azhen wasn't too worried about Xu Shan, so she didn't go with him.
Half a day later, Xu Shan and the others returned, but their faces showed no joy. She glanced at Xu Shan's hand and saw that he was still holding the Heaven-Asking Blade. Of course, Yi Xiaolan did not come back with them either.
I don't know what went wrong.
"Father, where are Mother? Haven't they shown up?" Azhen walked up to Xu Shan, revealing a hint of worry.
Xu Shan looked terrible, and the three people who went with her, including Shen Miao, looked about the same, clearly indicating that something unexpected had happened.
This was unexpected for Azhen. What could have happened?
“I’ve already arranged for someone to go back and retrieve those two weapons. At this point, saving lives is the priority. Brother Xu, don’t think too much. Let’s get them out first,” Shen Linsu said. As soon as he said this, the atmosphere suddenly became very strange.
Only after that did Azhen learn about what had happened.
The mysterious organization originally intended to hand over the person and the goods in exchange.
However, they somehow heard that Shen Linsu had two decent weapons, and they also knew that Shen Linsu had proposed exchanging these two weapons for the person. Perhaps they had gleaned something from this, because they added a condition: Shen Linsu would only release the person if he handed over the two weapons.
Azhen was stunned; she hadn't expected such a mishap.
Right now, Shen Linsu and Yi Xiaolan haven't really gotten involved, but things have come to this point, and Xu Shan is bound to feel uneasy. That's not the most important thing, though. As long as Yi Xiaolan doesn't have anything going on with Shen Linsu, Xu Shan won't really do anything, even if she has some reservations. The most important thing is Yi Xiaolan. After this incident, can she still treat Shen Linsu the same way as before, simply lamenting that they weren't meant to be and doing nothing else?
To be honest, A-Zhu is quite looking forward to seeing what will happen after Yi Xiaolan comes back.
"Thank you very much, Master Shen. No matter what, this is something I owe you. I will try my best to return the same weapon in the future," Xu Shan said. He was not a pedantic person and would not refuse Shen Linsu's help at this critical moment just because he felt a little uncomfortable.
The people in the mysterious organization are definitely not kind-hearted. If this drags on, he doesn't know what might happen to Yi Xiaolan. Shen Linsu is right; rescuing her is the most important thing.
Shen Linsu's expression relaxed, and he quickly said, "It's just two weapons. Actually, I don't usually need them. The mysterious organization is causing trouble for you now, and they'll eventually set their sights on the valuable weapons I have. As long as we can't collect enough weapons every day, any weapon with a bit of fame in the martial arts world will become their target. Rather than waiting until then, it's better to take this opportunity to hand over those two weapons. I guess it will reduce some trouble for Peach Blossom Manor."
He spoke of it casually, as if he really didn't care about weapons.
However, everyone knows that if they could, who would give away their precious weapons for free?
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the men Shen Linsu had arranged to return to Peach Blossom Manor to retrieve the weapons had returned. They had changed their appearance along the way and had not been noticed, so it went relatively smoothly.
When the appointed time arrived, Azhen and the other children were still left at the Yan family's house.
Xu Shan and the others set off early in the morning. They had made arrangements the day before, so they didn't call any of the children in the morning.
However, as soon as they left, Azhen quietly followed them.
This unexpected turn of events, coupled with the acquisition of two more decent weapons, told her that something interesting was likely to happen. But the excitement was secondary; she was more worried about Xu Shan's safety. This cheapskate father absolutely could not be allowed to get hurt.
"Little sister Zhen'er, aren't you up yet?"
"Are you planning to stay in bed because you're not going to the blacksmith shop and the adults aren't here?" Shen Yue called from outside, but after not seeing anyone for a while, she sensed something was wrong.
She glanced at Chu Yanzhi and Yan Qing on her left and right, and asked, "Why does it feel like Sister Zhen'er isn't in the room?"
“I reckon Junior Sister really isn’t inside,” Chu Yanzhi said. “Last time she went back alone. With her lightness skill, it would be easy for her to keep up with Master and the others.”
"Shall we go in and take a look?" Yan Qing asked.
Shen Yue knocked on the door twice more, but still received no response. Finally, she decided to push the door open and go in to check.
She went into the room alone and found that there was no one inside and the bed was cold. She quickly ran out and stamped her feet: "She's not here after all. That little sister Zhen'er is too naughty. She actually followed me by herself. Why didn't she take me with her?"
“Sister Zhen’er has excellent lightness skills; she can still run away even if something happens. If we take you with us, we can’t guarantee your safety,” Yan Qing analyzed logically.
Chu Yanzhi said, "Junior sister is still so impulsive and reckless. If Master's wife knew, she would be angry again."
At this moment, Azhen was leisurely following Xu Shan and the others, unaware that the three children from the Yan family were still discussing her.
An hour later, Xu Shan and his group stopped.
The place is desolate, with no village or shop in sight, and surrounded by dense forests, making it an easy place to hide.
If someone really wanted to hide here, it wouldn't be easy to find them. (End of Chapter)
