I Can See Your Combat Power
Chapter 1276 - Chapter 1276 Chapter 568 Destination

Chapter 1276: Chapter 568: Destination Chapter 1276: Chapter 568: Destination Tang Luo, who had been wandering around for half a day without finding Yun Xiu, casually grabbed someone who looked like a cadre and asked offhandedly, “Where is the Heavenly Girl?”

“Heaven… Heavenly Pride.”

The young man, startled by the sudden grasp, stuttered as he turned his head, “I… I haven’t seen her.”

“If you can’t even see the general, what kind of soldier are you? Get lost, get lost.”

Letting go of the minor cadre, Tang Luo then grabbed another person who looked like a leader to inquire about Yun Xiu’s whereabouts.

The response he received was likewise that she was nowhere to be found. If it weren’t for the other party’s innocent and honest appearance, which didn’t seem like lying, Tang Luo really wanted to smack him with a sudden burst of fury.

Since the civilized way yielded no results, then don’t blame me for using techniques!

Switching the food basket to the other hand, he spread his fan-like right palm beside his mouth and, with a voice like a bell, fiercely initiated the call. His voice instantly spread throughout the entire isolation area number one.

“Does anyone know the whereabouts of the Heavenly Girl?”

“Who knows the whereabouts of the Heavenly Girl?”

“Know the whereabouts of the Heavenly Girl?”

“The whereabouts of the Heavenly Girl?”

“… whereabouts?”

The straightforward and direct method for searching for people quickly received feedback, yet the result was the one he least wanted to hear.

Looking at the several isolation zone administrators who had gathered in front of him, Tang Luo’s face turned grim, “Are you saying that she has not been seen since last night and that she had plans to leave earlier?”

“Yes, Heavenly Pride…”

It was still that middle-aged man who had met him once before who spoke–after all, Tang Luo’s aura was far too intimidating, scaring the rest into silence.

And he, being a person who had cultivated to the unity of spirit and intent, naturally became the sole spokesperson, “The Heavenly Girl is not originally from Chaochang; she came here to help us. Now that the situation is improving, she naturally would want to return to her own place.”

Such utter nonsense–Chaochang is her place.

You fools have no idea how much Yun Xiu loves this city, how deeply tragic her love is. Even when the Xiang Family was at the peak of their power, she didn’t want to leave. Now that the situation is favorable, why would she go!

The agitated Tang Luo directly cut off the middle-aged man’s useless narration and questioned, “Did she say where she was going?”

“The Heavenly Girl is of course returning to the heavens!”

Looking at the middle-aged man’s earnest answer, Tang Luo could only offer a bitter smile.

“Even if she’s going to the heavens, there should still be an address, right? Waterway or land route? Or even a heavenly route? There has to be a way, at the very least a direction, right? East? South? West? North?”

“This… The Heavenly Girl didn’t say.”

“Then did she mention anything about her destination, even if just a description?”

The crowd looked at each other with equally clueless expressions.

“What a bunch of pigs for teammates!”

Tang Luo clutched his chest, weakly saying, “Then let’s back up a step. When did she hand over work to you all?”

“Ah, this I know, this I know!”

The middle-aged man was overjoyed, glad that he could finally contribute an answer. He hurriedly replied, “It was not long after the little miss Su Yun awoke that the Heavenly Girl began to hand over her duties to us!”

“Damn! I knew there was something wrong with that maidservant!”

I’ve been careless, so careless. I should have detained that maidservant when I discovered that obscure spiritual energy, instead of worrying about gathering evidence from the sidelines.

Hearing this, Tang Luo finally connected the dots, filled with great resentment while also understanding why Yun Xiu’s attitude had suddenly changed so drastically, insisting on severing ties with him and leaving Chaochang.

She just didn’t want to involve him, so she planned to lead away the king’s patrol by herself.

“This woman always does foolish things. Do you think what you consider good is really good? Would it kill you to discuss it, would it?!”

Tang Luo forced himself to remain calm and began to deduce the origins of Su Yun.

From the briefings of Wind Media from various places these past days, it was evident that the patrolling king had removed most of the Blood Tower’s secret agents, revealing many covert lines of intelligence with contempt.

If one viewed it from this perspective, then this maid must have been sent by the Dutian Heavenly King’s patrol. If that were the case, towards which side would Yun Xiu divert the king’s attention?

Having a radar locator by one’s side, no matter which way one turned, it was impossible to hide, damn it!

…

Without alerting anyone, Yun Xiu quietly left Chaochang with Su Yun.

After the mistress and servant hid on a grain-transporting merchant ship, they set sail into the Endless Sea.

Curled up in a damp corner of the empty hold, Su Yun snuggled entirely in Yun Xiu’s embrace, shivering like a frightened little rabbit.

“Miss… where are we going?”

“To Zhongzhou.”

Holding Su Yun, Yun Xiu gently stroked the young girl’s long hair and spoke softly.

Upon hearing the word Zhongzhou, Su Yun’s body reacted instinctively, that fleeting stiffness might have gone unnoticed by others, but how could it escape Yun Xiu who was holding her?

“Mi… Miss, why go to Zh… Zhongzhou, isn’t it good for us to just stay in Chaochang?”

Su Yun seemed very agitated, her little face lifted and streaked with tear marks: “Let’s just stay in Chaochang, is that okay?”

“We can’t, Xiao Yun.”

Yun Xiu gently wiped away the tears from her maid’s face and said softly, “I also have things I must do.”

“Alright, Miss, Xiao Yun will always follow you.”

The little maid murmured softly and then snuggled deeper into Yun Xiu’s embrace, but her eyes seemed soulless, hollow.

“Sigh…”

Yun Xiu sighed deeply, gently patting the back of the little person in her arms, and whispered, “Xiao Yun, I know you have suffered a lot. I will face everything that comes next with you, don’t be afraid…”

Su Yun, who had calmed down, became agitated again, not out of being moved, but out of anger.

What did this woman know? She knew nothing at all.

Face it together, but had she ever seen what Purgatory looked like?

Knowing nothing, yet she could make promises.

These nobly born individuals only knew how to utter beautiful yet unachievable words to win people’s hearts!

It was with these words they deceived the loyalty of the common folk, but when had they ever truly cared?

Her father was a servant of Longyuan, her mother a maid of Longyuan; from her birth, she was destined to serve her mistress as a maid.

Generations of loyalty were only to seek protection, yet even this simple request was beyond them.

When disaster struck, instead of finding a way out for their loyal servants, the masters even abandoned them on Desolate Hill to be dealt with by the patrolling king.

This loyalty through generations turned into a ridiculous joke. They were wrong, as it turned out, those in power were heartless.

So they too tore out their hearts and devoured them greedily, only then could they return from hell!

Face it together, dear Miss, I hope you too will get to see the splendid flames of Purgatory!

Su Yun’s face was filled with twisted excitement and deep-seated resentment, and the index finger clasping around Yun Xiu’s waist could not help but dig into the flesh.

As if feeling nothing, Yun Xiu tenderly held Su Yun despite the pain in her back.

In the gloomy, damp cabin, the mistress held the maid in her arms, using her own body heat to drive away the chill.

But a venomous snake is cold-blooded; when it feels warm, perhaps that is the prelude to its strike.
