207 Fruitless Search

Nie Yin was confined in the residence by the queen.

Nie Lin led his men to search the imperial capital, but they couldn’t find the siblings.

Although they heard that a man and a woman had come to Fragrant Garden, when Nie Lin brought people there, the brothel’s madam and a group of servants repeatedly said that their master had not returned for a long time.

Although Nie Lin suspected that these two people were the people he was looking for, he couldn’t cause trouble without seeing them. After all, the Nie family had always intimidated the other factions with their prestige as the number one family in the five continents.

However, before Nie Lin left, he still sent two subordinates to stay near the Fragrant Garden and wait for the two of them to return.

Kong Rui looked up at the gloomy Chao Bai. “Um, how long are we going to hide like this?”

She turned her body awkwardly to leave Chao Bai’s arms.

When Nie Lin arrived with a large group of people, Chao Bai pulled Kong Rui into the room that had just been sealed.

As soon as they entered the room, Chao Bai immediately activated the array formation. Then, the two of them arrived at the secret space Zi Xuan had built again.

Zi Xuan had spent a lot of effort to build this space.

Not only could they enter and exit this place silently with the help of a spirit array, but there was also a natural barrier protecting it, so ordinary people wouldn’t notice anything amiss.

After Kong Rui was pulled into the space, she originally wanted to take a look at the totems here. Unexpectedly, Chao Bai grabbed her and trapped her here.

Although the barrier here could seal their aura and make it difficult for the outside world to notice the situation inside, the people inside could clearly sense what was happening outside.

When Nie Lin sent people to search the various rooms, the procuress was originally looking for them in the master’s room, but she realized that they were gone. Fortunately, the procuress reacted quickly and immediately told Nie Lin that her master had not returned.

Those servants had always listened to the brothel keeper’s instructions and were very adaptable.

After Nie Lin left with a large group of people, the procuress looked around in the courtyard. “Why did these two disappear so quickly? They came and went without a trace. They’re really harder to serve than Pavilion Master Zi Xuan!”

After saying that, the procuress sighed and called a few servants to work in front of the courtyard.

“If it weren’t for me taking care of Fragrant Garden, there’s no telling how chaotic it would be!” As the procuress spoke, she quickened her pace.

Since it was already quiet outside, Kong Rui wanted to break free from Chao Bai’s arms.

Chao Bai glanced at the totems around the space and grabbed Kong Rui with one hand. Without giving her a chance to resist, he brought her out of the space.

Kong Rui was immediately unhappy. “What’s wrong with you? You’ve been acting strange since a while ago.”

Without speaking, Chao Bai returned to his room and closed the door.

Kong Rui raised her eyebrows and immediately lost her temper. “What happened? How did I offend you?”

Kong Rui was a little angry, but she had nowhere to vent her anger, so she could only return to her room resentfully and close the door heavily.

Initially, she wanted to share the joy of finally taking revenge with Chao Bai, but she didn’t expect this person to suddenly become so hostile.

The people sent by Nie Lin had been watching the backyard of the Fragrant Garden, but they didn’t expect the two of them to have already returned to their rooms through the array.

A strange sound came from the room, immediately alerting the people Nie Lin had sent.

However, when they checked, they realized that there was no one inside…

Chao Bai had already set up a barrier outside the room. Although it couldn’t resist the detection of an expert like Nie Lin, it could still deal with ordinary guards.

Nie Yin returned to the residence. As soon as he walked in, he staggered and fainted again.

The servants hurriedly carried him back to his room and found a Spiritual Doctor from the clan to treat him. Then, they hurriedly sent someone to report to Nie Lin.

Nie Yin was the future patriarch of the Nie family, so nothing could happen to him!

Nie Yin’s injury from Spirit Mountain had already made Nie Lin as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. If Nie Lin found out that he had fainted after returning from the palace, he might even run to the palace to settle the score with the queen!

After Nie Yin slowly opened his eyes, he saw Nie Lin’s worried gaze.

“First Elder…” Nie Yin’s voice sounded tired and weak.

“What’s wrong with you? Did the queen do something to you? I’ll settle the score with her!” When Nie Yin finally woke up, the First Elder immediately asked.

“This…” Nie Yin was about to respond when he saw servants and Spiritual Doctors present.

When Nie Lin saw Nie Yin’s gaze, he made them leave.
