Chapter 1466: Chapter 1466: Mandarins Eloping

The banquet was lively, with dancing girls taking turns on stage, and it wasn’t until midnight that it quieted down.

City Lord Guo Jing invited Long Fei and Chu Feng back to the courtyard, just as he was about to discuss matters of national peace and security with them.

Suddenly, a maid hurriedly came in to report that the eldest Miss Guo Xiang hadn’t returned all night and was missing!

Originally, Guo Jing was still somewhat drunk, but suddenly his head started sweating and he sobered up quickly, urgently asking, “Where did she go? Wasn’t she in the room?”

The maid stammered, “Miss was worried about Elder Brother Xiao Chen’s safety and ran out to the Precious Sparrow Tower. But the accompanying maid reported that the room in the tower was empty. Neither Xiao Chen nor Miss knew where they went!”

“Ay! What misfortune to befall our family!” Guo Jing exclaimed in anger, “That reckless brat, she’s going to ruin the entire Guo Family’s honor!”

The maid was so scared that she knelt on the ground, banging her head and pleading for mercy, “Master, please calm down, it’s urgent to find Miss first!”

Being an unmarried girl, running off with a man at midnight.

Whether it’s an official family or a common family, if this gets out, it’s disgraceful.

Guo Jing flushed with anger, first bid farewell to Long Fei and Chu Feng, then instructed the steward to call the commanders of the City Defense Camp to immediately close the city gates and search quietly for his daughter.

Long Fei and Chu Feng were watching the commotion at home, listening to the Ground Rat Demon King report on Xiao Chen’s activities.

Once they returned, the Ground Rat Demon King and the others monitored Xiao Chen.

He felt humiliated and indignant at City Lord Guo Jing’s opportunism. When useful, he was flattered incessantly, but now that he’s no longer needed, the city lord wouldn’t even see him and only entertained Long Fei and Chu Feng.

Angry, Xiao Chen resolutely took Guo Xiang back to Mount Heng.

Chu Feng laughed and said, “A grown daughter can’t be kept, this Guo Xiang is going to infuriate her father to death!”

Long Fei said, “The Mount Heng Sect likely assigned Xiao Chen a task to marry with the Xiangyang City Lord. Now that we appear, the city lord probably regrets it. Xiao Chen took a risky step and harbored ulterior motives.”

Chu Feng asked, “We won’t have to break up the couple, will we?”

Long Fei laughed and said, “Break them up, why not? The Mount Heng Sect has good relations with the Imperial Court. Sima Qingcang of the Sima Family is an Elder of Mount Heng. Since we’ve long been enemies with them, let’s use this opportunity to attack Mount Heng. This way, the Imperial Court will be at odds with Xiangyang, greatly benefiting us.”

Chu Feng sighed with a smile, “It’s better to demolish ten temples than to break one marriage; it looks like we’ll have to play the villain this time.”

Everyone laughed together, still unsatisfied with the previous drink, they continued to bring out Maotai from the mundane world to drink.

Though this world’s spirits are rich in Essential Qi, they lack the taste of Maotai.

Bald Dog, sipping wine, asked Long Fei, “Master, did you figure out the identity of that woman in blue today?”

This dog’s nose was the most sensitive, meaning Long Fei already guessed, it knew the true form of the woman in blue.

Long Fei nodded and said, “A genuine descendant of the Azure Dragon!”

Chu Feng and the others were surprised, curious, “Isn’t that the same bloodline as yours?”

Long Fei laughed and said, “It’s different. I have integrated the Azure Dragon Bloodline, not considered an Azure Dragon. Her bloodline is pure, just hasn’t trained to the level of reversion yet. Dragons come in tens of thousands of kinds; any aquatic animal or reptile that trains to a certain level will experience reversion. Like the Three-Headed Jiao, which is a river Green Crocodile that trained into one. This woman is different; I can tell she was born as a Dragon Body.”

“No wonder she’s so powerful!”

Chu Feng furrowed his eyebrows.

Bald Dog asked, “Today we offended this woman, won’t she trouble us?”

Long Fei shook his head, “Nah, today I heard from the Three-Headed Jiao and City Lord, this woman should be new here. Her territory probably wasn’t here initially.”

Chu Feng thought for a moment, “Do you mean she’s from another place?”

Long Fei said, “More likely from the sea. Having encountered some upheaval, she’s hiding here. Azure Dragon Bloodline is scarce, born as dominators, absolutely not possible to hide within rivers.”

Chu Feng laughed, “In that case, maybe we can go get closer?”

Long Fei reminded, “Don’t do anything rash, this woman’s mood seems somewhat unstable. Her cultivation level should be above ours, likely in Late Soul Ascension Stage. Let’s try not to provoke her if we have nothing else to do.”

“Got it, got it!”

Chu Feng agreed verbally, but his heart was yearning.

The more challenging a woman is, the more tempting she becomes.

To him, women are like mountains. After conquering one, he wants to pursue new peaks.

The peak must be taller; otherwise, there’s no thrill.

Early next morning, City Lord arrived bright and early.

He apologized to Long Fei and Chu Feng, “The two of you, I’m afraid I have to trouble you again. You see, it’s my intention to properly entertain you, but I keep causing inconvenience to you.”

Long Fei understood the situation but pretended as if he knew nothing, cupped his fist and asked, “City Lord, feel free to speak if there’s anything. If there’s anything our brothers can do to help, we definitely will give it our all.”

Guo Jing awkwardly said, “To my shame, last night my daughter went missing. After investigation, she was taken to Mount Heng by that rascal Xiao Chen. Now, I’ve invited many friends from the Xiangyang Cultivation World to head to Mount Heng and demand her return. I’m hoping you two brothers will come along, having you both will make me feel more at ease.”

“Is such a thing possible?”

Long Fei and Chu Feng were filled with righteous indignation, immediately agreeing, “City Lord, we’ll accompany you. If the Mount Heng Sect dares to misbehave, our brothers will teach them a lesson for you.”

Guo Jing nodded repeatedly in excitement, “Good, good, with those words from the two of you brothers, I feel assured.”

He asked Long Fei and Chu Feng to rest first, while he went outside to contact friends in the Cultivation World.

By noon, the City Lord’s Mansion was already gathered with over a hundred cultivators.

These people, had higher cultivation levels than yesterday’s rabble.

Once Long Fei and Chu Feng arrived, they swept a glance casually.

The cultivators in the crowd, most were in the Core Formation Stage, and the old man standing at the front should be around the Nascent Soul Realm.

Among them, there was an extraordinary old man with Immortal Bearing and Daoist Bones.

Long Fei took a closer look at him; he had the highest cultivation level among these people, likely at the Early Soul Ascension Stage.

Spying on others’ cultivation levels is rather impolite.

The old man felt the sensing in his Divine Sea and scanned over with a displeased gaze.

Long Fei cut off his spiritual power, and when the old man’s gaze came over, he had already blended into the crowd.

City Lord Guo Jing quickly came over, first greeted the foremost old man with cupped fists and exchanged a few pleasantries, then turned to everyone and cupped his fists saying, “Friends from the Cultivation World, I sincerely apologize for disturbing your cultivation. Reluctantly, my daughter was taken by the Mount Heng Sect, so I can only ask for everyone’s help to go to Mount Heng and demand her back. This time, I appreciate the favor from all of you; once my daughter is returned, I will be sure to repay everyone generously.”
