Chapter 391: Chapter 370 Second Update

"Bang——" Just at that moment, a tremendous sound erupted from the courtyard. Only then did the Master of Ghoul Ravine breathe a sigh of relief, turning to look toward the inner yard. Such a massive burst of energy—it was likely that Elder Su and Elder Can had succeeded, which would definitely prove the existence of the Ghost Shadow on Zong Yunqian.

However, before the heart of the Master of Ghoul Ravine could fully settle back in his chest, two figures were suddenly thrown over the courtyard wall.

"Bang——"

"Bang——" Elder Can and Elder Su were suddenly flung into the air, crashing solidly to the ground. If not for the quick reflexes of those around the Master of Ghoul Ravine who caught them just in time, the force of the fall could have been fatal.

"Manager Can——"

"Manager Su——" The subordinates cried out in panic, and the house servants from Prince Duan’s Mansion were even more frantic, running for their lives.

At this point, if the Master of Ghoul Ravine couldn’t see that something was terribly wrong, he would be a fool. Taking a step forward, he went straight for Yin He.

"Run——" The Master of Ghoul Ravine barked out, seizing the chaos.

Prince Duan grabbed Yu Yuan in one motion.

"Mage Chief, why haven’t you taken action yet? People are going to die——" Prince Duan shivered with urgency. "Quick, quick, take the Commandery Princess away first."

The youth didn’t move, watching the Master of Ghoul Ravine with a cold gaze, clearly aware that the plan had failed, and now was the only chance to take Zheng Nianru away.

Grabbing Zheng Nianru by the hand, the youth started heading toward the outer edge with the crowd.

Noticing this, Yu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then readied himself to take a step forward, but Zheng Nianru suddenly gripped the youth’s hand back and headed toward the back door they had just passed. The youth was puzzled, yet showed no intention of asking questions. In the midst of the crowd’s frenzy, the Master of Ghoul Ravine caught a glimpse of the youth’s figure heading toward the back door and was suddenly shocked. Unlike the house servants from Prince Duan’s Mansion who were genuinely panicked, his men retreated orderly toward the back door in the tumult.

Pushing through the crowd, Yu Yuan’s heart sank as he instantly noticed that the people he had been charged to watch over had vanished. His face turned pale.

"Chase them——" Yu Yuan bellowed, causing Prince Duan to startle.

"Now you chase them? Where were you just now? Where’s the Commandery Princess?" Prince Duan only then realized that Zheng Nianru and a few maids were nowhere to be seen, while a group of Prince Duan’s Mansion’s house servants scrambled in disarray.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, the Commandery Princess has already left——" Housekeeper He watched as Zheng Nianru walked out, "Everyone stop shouting, just stop right there."

"Your Highness, Your Highness, we should escape too——" Several house servants, without further ado, pulled Prince Duan toward the outside of the courtyard.

Zheng Nianru finally stopped, casting a glance around her, and then abruptly turned her head, cupping Yin He’s cheeks with her hands.

"Run, don’t say anything, I’ve figured out who you are. But you must listen to me, you don’t have to die here to be content. Go now——" Zheng Nianru said it all in one breath. Xing Yu and others who had just rushed over were gasping for air; they stared at Yin He in shock, and then at their own Commandery Princess.

What did the Commandery Princess mean by this?

The youth was stunned, filled with the touch of those fingers, and the Commandery Princess’s words spoken one by one to him, truly seeing him before her.

"I——" The youth began to speak but was cut short as Zheng Nianru placed a finger on his lips. Because of the rushed movement, it even brushed against his lips before stopping.

"Run, no one will give you a second chance. If you’re caught, you won’t be able to come find me again," said Zheng Nianru.

The youth’s eyes brightened. Find her? She was asking him to find her?

The youth nodded fiercely, already sensing the formidable energy within the courtyard, emanating from someone difficult to contend with. So now, she was showing concern for him.

It must be so.

The young boy suddenly felt that whether he stayed or not was not important, what mattered more was that she cared about him.

"Don’t just stand there, get away if you want to live..." Zheng Nianru spoke up, the first to follow her, Nian Xia and Xing Yu, still didn’t understand the meaning of their Commandery Princess, what about living, weren’t they in danger right now?

The Master of Ghoul Ravine suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Yin He’s arm, and looked at the girl before him.

"Girl, thank you. Now it’s not only my son who has taken a liking to you, but I have taken a liking to you as well..."

Before he could finish, a gust of wind swept through the air. The Ravine Master turned his head, his eyes narrowing slightly, and the people of Ghoul Ravine immediately and skillfully retreated to both sides, their movements swift, and they formed ranks with the breath of discipline.

Zheng Nianru looked up, and mist rose before her. The man before her seemed to arrive riding the clouds and mist, his clothes as white as snow, like a crane untouched by the mundane world.

Zheng Nianru had never seen him before, but she knew—Master Yu Sheng, transformed into an immortal; this was the spotless Mage Yu Sheng before her.

Zheng Nianru quickly grabbed the young boy’s arm, immediately looping it around her neck, and took a step back.

"Hurry, if you want to get out, hold me hostage," Zheng Nianru whispered.

The boy was tenderly silent, and even amidst this grave danger, he felt it was worth it. At this moment, he felt as if he had suddenly taken on a new responsibility. Yes, he could not act recklessly anymore, he had to look after her in everything he did now.

"Don’t come over here—!" Zheng Nianru’s voice suddenly became filled with terror. Nian Xia and Xing Yu were stunned. What was happening, when had Yin He taken the Commandery Princess hostage?

What was this nonsense? Yin He would never hold the Commandery Princess hostage.

"Yin He, what are you doing?" Xing Yu said, moving forward, but before she could reach Yin He, a subordinate beside the Master of Ghoul Ravine waved a hand, causing Xing Yu to stumble almost to the point of falling.

"Commandery Princess—" Xing Yu’s voice trembled; what was happening, how had the situation suddenly turned out like this?

"Who are you people from Ghoul Ravine?" Mage Yu Sheng’s voice rose slowly, his gaze falling on everyone present without lingering on anyone.

Fu Dong, Nanny Yun, and the others who had hurried over were also stunned on the spot at the scene before them.

"Commandery Princess, Commandery Princess—" Nanny Yun frantically rushed forward.

"Nanny Yun, don’t come here—" Zheng Nianru shouted coldly, for Yin He would listen to her, but that didn’t mean these people beside him would.

Nanny Yun froze in her tracks.

"Mage—" Zheng Congyuan caught up from behind, and Ju Nanyi, who had come with him, felt a sudden start in his heart at the sight.

"Let her go—" Zheng Congyuan took a step forward, wishing he could step in, but Qi Jin and Qi Yu quickly held back Zheng Congyuan, worry filling their eyes.

"Let us go, and we will leave her unharmed with you—" the Master of Ghoul Ravine said coldly, not out of fear for these people; if this had happened in Ghoul Ravine, he would have certainly made sure they could not return.

However, at this moment, having found his son and with many unresolved issues, it was natural for the Master of Ghoul Ravine to act with expediency.

"Mage, this must not be—" Zheng Congyuan spoke anxiously, no longer caring for anything else. They had set up formations at Prince Duan’s Mansion for a week, and not even Prince Duan knew about it—it was meant to capture everyone in one fell swoop. Yet now, Zheng Congyuan regretted it immensely.

Because of his plan, Nian Ru had been thrust into a perilous position.

"Crown Prince, Crown Prince, please save the Commandery Princess, save her—" Nanny Yun had already collapsed on the ground, crying out.
