Chapter 496: That Mess Outside

Everything that Jiu'er was worried about is now really happening in the back mountains of Imperial College.

"She only went out after dark. I asked her where she was going, but she only said she was going for a walk and did not reveal any other information to me."

Jiu'er didn't come back tonight. Little Cherry didn't care at first. Didn't Jiu'er tend to go missing out of habit? She didn't think it was anything.

But now, Huo Yan accompanied Yu Jingfeng to inquire. It is conceivable that this matter has evolved into a serious situation.

Not long after, Qiao Mu came back from outside, walked straight to Yu Jingfeng, and said in a deep voice: "Master Yu, we have searched the entire Mingyue Garden, and there is no trace of Jiu'er."

Soon, Xing Zizhou also rushed over, clasped his fists at Yu Jingfeng and said, "Master Yu, we have searched Juefeng Garden and there is indeed no trace of Mu Mu."

Yu Jingfeng suspected that Mu Mu was unfavorable to Feng Jiuer. This must be the intention of the Ninth Prince. Now the Ninth Prince is personally leading a search in the back mountain area.

The Imperial City was also ordered to be sealed off and searched by the Ninth Prince.

As long as they are still in the city, they will be found out soon.

Little Cherry knew that they suspected Mu Mu, so she couldn't help but talk too much: "Actually, isn't it common for Mu Mu and Jiuer to go out together? This... doesn't seem to be surprising."

Although her voice was very soft, everyone could still hear her clearly.

"Miss Jiuer often goes out with Mu Mu?" Yu Jingfeng asked.

Little Cherry nodded: "They have a good relationship and often discuss things together..."

Thinking about it, for the sake of Jiu'er's reputation, she immediately explained: "Of course, there is nothing wrong between them. There has never been any wrongdoing. We are just friends. Don't think too much about it."

No one should think too much now. What Yu Jingfeng was most worried about was always Feng Jiuer's safety.

It was the Ninth Prince who felt uneasy tonight and asked them to take Feng Jiu'er over. Unexpectedly, Feng Jiu'er disappeared.

Not only was he not in the college, but the Feng family also sent people to inquire immediately, and found out that Feng Jiuer had not returned to Feng Mansion at all.

Little Cherry whispered again: "Jiuer's temperament is like this. She often goes out at night. I think you are too worried. She will be back soon."

Yu Jingfeng wanted to say something, but finally swallowed the words back in his stomach.

He knew better than anyone why Miss Jiuer often went out at night. After all, he was the one who often came to invite Miss Jiuer to the palace.

But he couldn't tell everyone in front of so many people that Miss Jiuer stayed up all night because she stayed in the palace to accompany the prince.

These words may ruin Feng Jiuer's reputation for the rest of his life.

The Ninth Prince never cares about the eyes of the world, so he doesn't care about these mundane rumors either.

As for Feng Jiu'er, her temperament is not at all like that of women of this era. She is very carefree in this regard, and she probably doesn't care much about the eyes of the world.

However, he couldn't help but care that Miss Jiu'er was their future Ninth Princess. Now, before Miss Jiu'er married into the Ninth Prince's Palace, he couldn't give her any more bad name.

Since they could not be found in Mingyue Garden and Juefeng Garden, Yu Jingfeng did not want to waste time here.

The prince obviously felt something was wrong tonight, so Yu Jingfeng had enough reasons to believe that something must have happened to Miss Jiuer.

That must be because the prince and Miss Jiuer have a deep relationship. If something happens to one party, the other party will also be able to sense it.

Now that the prince himself has led people to search in the back mountains, he cannot remain idle.

After taking a look at Huo Yan, Yu Jingfeng and his men immediately turned around and went out.

Xiao Yingying, Xing Zizhou and Qiao Mu looked at each other and were unwilling to stay here to wait, so they followed Yu Jingfeng out the door.

As soon as they walked out of Mingyue Garden, a man hurried over and walked quickly to Yu Jingfeng: "Master Yu, some traces of fighting were found in the back mountain. The prince is now chasing after him."



The traces of fighting in the back mountain are extremely slight. If there weren't tracking experts here, it would be difficult to detect them.

After Little Cherry followed Yu Jingfeng, she immediately joined the investigation team. Soon, she discovered something was wrong.

"Master Yu, this should be Jiu'er's footprints, but somewhere, it suddenly becomes heavy."

"What do you mean? She is injured?" Fortunately, the prince is not here, otherwise his words would probably make their prince die of panic.

Little Cherry nodded, then shook her head: "There is another possibility, maybe it was a sneak attack and drugged. Wait, I will take a look."

Little Cherry is small and not outstanding in all aspects, but unexpectedly, she turns out to be an expert in tracking.

Xing Zizhou has seen what she can do, and so has Feng Jiuer, so Xing Zizhou is willing to believe what Little Cherry is saying now.

By the light of the torch, Little Cherry quickly found Jiu'er's footsteps coming back from the back mountain.

Because it was night, and because Jiu'er's own Qinggong was pretty good, most people wouldn't notice the footprints at all.

Not to mention that the back mountain is covered with grass and the ground is covered with grass. Grass grows at night and will, to a great extent, mess up even slight footprints.

Little Cherry's forehead and face were covered with sweat. After a lot of effort, she finally found all the footprints of Feng Jiuer and Mu Mu.

"Master Yu, I'm afraid it was Jiu'er who invited Mu Mu out tonight. Later, the two had a conversation here. Jiu'er left, and Mu Mu followed."

"But before Mu Mu arrived at that place, there was obviously another master following Jiu'er. When Mu Mu arrived, Jiu'er had already been taken away."

"What about Mu Mu?" Yu Jingfeng asked anxiously.

"Wait a minute, I have to go back to that place and take a look." All this was speculated by Little Cherry. Although it was not perfect, she believed in her own judgment.

But she didn't believe what she had deduced. After returning to the place and carefully looking at the footprints left by the previous people, Little Cherry's face became solemn.

"Mu Mu seemed to know that Jiu'er was taken away, and then he chased her towards the back mountain."

The footprints completely ended here, because when they left later, they did not walk, but flew by with light skills along the way.

If Qinggong is used, no matter how good Little Cherry's tracking technique is, there is nothing she can do.

Yu Jingfeng looked at the direction pointed by Little Cherry's long finger. This direction was clearly pointing deep into the back mountain.

"Xiao Yingtao, you come with me to search. Huo Yan, quickly take people to the back mountain to find the prince, tell him everything Xiaotao said, and then find a way to join us."

"Yes!" Huo Yan held up his hand and immediately led the people into the forest to find the Ninth Prince who was still looking for someone.

Xing Zizhou and Qiao Mu looked at each other, and at the same time caught up with Yu Jingfeng's team: "Master Yu, please allow us to go together!"
