Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

441. Long Xiaoyuan Is Captured (I)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

In the end, Ouyang Chuan cleared his throat and said, “It is not Suifeng’s fault. I just can’t sleep well at night.”

Long Xiaoyuan blinked and looked at Ouyang Chuan hesitantly. “Ouyang Chuan, you...”

Long Xiaoyuan’s hesitation and seriousness instantly alerted both Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan.

Shi Qingzhou also looked at Long Xiaoyuan, waiting to hear he was going to say.

Long Xiaoyuan said slowly, “Ouyang Chuan, do you fall in love with someone else and think of dumping Liu Suifeng? Although I also think that Liu Suifeng had many shortcomings, you are already together, so you’d better not...”

Everyone was lost for words.

Liu Suifeng wished to stab Long Xiaoyuan with his sword. He didn’t have to make such a joke, did he?

Was he looking for a fight?

Ouyang Chuan’s face darkened. “Long Xiaoyuan!”

He looked angry as he called Long Xiaoyuan by the full name.

Long Xiaoyuan shrugged innocently. “Doesn’t Ouyang Chuan mislead us? I can’t help it.”

Shi Qingzhou rolled his eyes. “You’d better stop talking.”

Liu Suifeng agreed, “Yes, you’d better shut your mouth!”

Shi Qingzhou turned to Liu Suifeng. “Have you found more traces of Wu Ronghan?”

Liu Suifeng immediately became serious. “We found some clues yesterday. The Shadow Guardians are tracking him down, but they haven’t found him yet.”

Shi Qingzhou thought about it and said, “Perhaps the Shadow Guardians couldn’t find him because he doesn’t want to be found by them. Wu Ronghan is an experienced schemer, and it’s not difficult for him to hide.”

Liu Suifeng couldn’t help asking, “He wants us to find him?”

Shi Qingzhou nodded. “It is very possible.”

Long Xiaoyuan yawned lazily.

Shi Qingzhou looked at him. “Shall we go out together later?”

Long Xiaoyuan blinked. “Okay.”

Shi Qingzhou nodded and said no more.

After making some preparations, they left after half an hour.

When they got to the suburbs east of the city, Shi Qingzhou asked, “Is this the place?”

“Yes.” Liu Suifeng nodded.

Long Xiaoyuan looked around. “Here? Well, this place is quite empty. There are only bamboo woods ahead. Is he hiding there?

“The bamboo woods are not dense, and the Shadow Guardians have already searched there several times. There is no clue.”

Ouyang Chuan also said, “It is indeed difficult to hide there.”

Long Xiaoyuan nodded. “In this case, this place is weird,” Long Xiaoyuan said thoughtfully.

Shi Qingzhou also said. “It is weird.”

Long Xiaoyuan thought about it and said, “Let’s go to the woods to take a look.”

No one else had any objections.

The group of people went to the woods.

The woods were small and sparse. It didn’t make any sense if Wu Ronghan took it as a hiding place.

Long Xiaoyuan asked casually as they entered the woods, “Liu Suifeng, have you ever been here?”

Liu Suifeng shook his head. “I came in twice, but I didn’t find anything.”

“I see.” Long Xiaoyuan nodded.

Suddenly, there was an unusual noise not far ahead, and a figure leapt out.

Two Shadow Guardians quickly went to chase.

Liu Suifeng said, “Ouyang and I will go take a look.”

Long Xiaoyuan nodded.

Shi Qingzhou had already got in front of Long Xiaoyuan.

At the same time, Ying Qiu and several other Shadow Guardians went up to him as well.

Liu Suifeng went to chase the figure, so Long Xiaoyuan and the others went in the same direction.

Shi Qingzhou held Long Xiaoyuan’s hand and their fingers entangled. Shi Qingzhou surrounded him like a guard.

Long Xiaoyuan looked at their positions and couldn’t help laughing.

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou walked there.

When they arrived at the place where the figure had been hiding, Long Xiaoyuan looked around and said, “There’s nothing here.”

“He just hid here,” Shi Qingzhou said. He took two steps to the side, intending to check.

Ying Qiu and several other Shadow Guardians followed Long Xiaoyuan closely.

Shi Qingzhou found something next to a bamboo and bent down. At this moment, something suddenly happened.

A huge net fell from above the bamboo woods.

Long Xiaoyuan was sure that this huge net was definitely not above everyone’s head!

Otherwise, it would have been discovered.

Long Xiaoyuan saw the net coming down and instinctively dodged it. Ying Qiu, who was next to Long Xiaoyuan, grabbed him and leapt to the side.

The huge net came down and failed to catch Long Xiaoyuan.

Apart from the huge net, there was another man.

The man in black suddenly struck his palm at Long Xiaoyuan when he landed.

He was some distance away from Long Xiaoyuan, so the man only stirred the air and made a wind with internal force.

However, the wind seemed to have a special smell.

Long Xiaoyuan felt his heart trembled when he smelt it.

Two Shadow Guardians stood in front of him, but the ground was opening upunder his feet.

At this moment, Shi Qingzhou was quite far away from Long Xiaoyuan.

Everything happened in a flash.

Long Xiaoyuan sank down.

Two Shadow Guardians were standing in front of Long Xiaoyuan, Ying Qiu was next to him and the two other Shadow Guardians were behind him. Long Xiaoyuan fell down. Ying Qiu could only grab Long Xiaoyuan’s hand at such a critical moment, and the huge force pulled both of them down together.

The Shadow Guardians around Long Xiaoyuan found that something was wrong and instinctively intended to follow, but the hole quickly closed up.

Shadow Guardian pounced over, but they were on solid ground again.

The Shadow Guardians turned pale.

Shi Qingzhou leapt back, but he was standing on solid ground instead of the hole with devices.

Shi Qingzhou instantly turned terribly gloomy.

“Go! Look for the devices!” Shi Qingzhou ordered coldly.

All the Shadow Guardians quickly started to search.

Shi Qingzhou clenched his fists tightly.

This was not the first time Long Xiaoyuan had disappeared in front of him.

Why couldn’t he learn his lesson? Why did he go away from Long Xiaoyuan?

At that moment, Shi Qingzhou had the strong impulse to slap himself.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and ordered again, “Go bring Qiu Ming’s army.”

“Yes.” A Shadow Guardian left.

Half an hour later, the Shadow Guardians who went to chase after the figure with Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan came back.

They brought back Liu Suifeng.

He was unconscious.

Ouyang Chuan was not with him.

Shi Qingzhou narrowed his eyes. “What’s the matter with Liu Suifeng?”

Shadow Guardian quickly explained what had happened.

When they chased the figure, it suddenly turned into a scarecrow with human skin!

Even Liu Suifeng was shocked by such a strange change.

They stopped and checked.

Suddenly, two figures leapt out. One of them was Wu Ronghan!

After Wu Ronghan showed up, he said something to Ouyang Chuan, who suddenly struck Liu Suifeng.

Liu Suifeng was seriously hurt.

He even spat out a mouthful of blood right away.

After that, Ouyang Chuan left with Wu Ronghan.

Liu Suifeng intended to chase, but Ouyang Chuan looked very cold.

At that moment, Wu Ronghan turned around and sprinkled a handful of powder. Liu Suifeng fainted.

The Shadow Guardians wanted to chase, but they couldn’t since they had to look after Liu Suifeng.

Most importantly, they had no idea what was going on with Ouyang Chuan.

Therefore, they brought Liu Suifeng back first.

After listening to the report, Shi Qingzhou narrowed his eyes again. “Ouyang Chuan?”

“Yes, for some reason, he suddenly became a different person, and he even attacked Liu Suifeng.”

Shi Qingzhou pursed his lower lip tightly and recalled that Long Xiaoyuan had been strange these days.

Every time when they were with Ouyang Chuan, he distracted the conversation away from serious discussions.

He made jokes to cover Ouyang Chuan’s strangeness.

Shi Qingzhou’s eyes darkened. He was sure Long Xiaoyuan knew that there was something wrong with Ouyang Chuan.

Long Xiaoyuan knew that Ouyang Chuan had a problem, but he didn’t say anything!

More than that, he deliberately hid it from him.

‘Good, Long Xiaoyuan, you are amazing. Are you afraid that I will do something to Ouyang Chuan?’

At this moment, Shi Qingzhou was furious.

However, as he stared at the closed ground under his feet, the place where he couldn’t see the devices, he felt scared, terribly scared...

‘Long Xiaoyuan, you are noble.

But I am not.

You’d better be safe and sound. Otherwise, I will destroy all the people you want to protect!’

Long Xiaoyuan really knew Shi Qingzhou well.

He knew how Shi Qingzhou would react if anything happened to him.

That was why he had made arrangements for that.
