Tuoba Yu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Bing'er is missing."
"He's fine at the Royal College, how did he disappear?" Hua Ruge's pupils constricted as his face filled with shock.
Tuoba Yu shook her head, "Not a single trace was left. I went to her room and saw this on the table."
As he said that, he took out a white envelope from his sleeve. On it was written "Hua Ruge's personal letter, which had not been opened."
"I thought it was for you, so I didn't take it apart." Tuoba Yu said with a somewhat lonely voice.
Without saying a word, Hua Ruge opened it, and discovered that it was not a letter, but a jade slip. She sent her spirit energy in and saw the message that Lan Bing'er had left.
"Elder sister Ru Ge, everyone is worried that you have disappeared. However, I feel that nothing will happen to you. You will definitely be able to see the letter that I left behind."
Two days ago, there were some people that came to the academy to take me away. I didn't have the strength to resist so I had to leave with them, but don't worry elder sister, they don't seem to have any ill intentions towards me.
When Hua Ruge saw this paragraph, his brows furrowed even more. Bing'er's narration was very plain, and seemed to be safe, but this girl was clever and meticulous.
She had no idea what was going on.
"What did he say?" Tuoba Yu asked nervously.
"She was taken away. Nothing else." Hua Ruge shook his head slightly.
"Bing'er is in Royal College, how could she be so easily taken away?" Tuoba Yu frowned.
Hua Ruge did not say anything, which meant that these people were very strong.
Su Nianxia took the jade scroll and said curiously: "This is the first time I've seen a blue jade scroll, the tentacles are extremely delicate and cool, with just a glance, I can tell that it's good stuff, using this kind of jade scroll is just too extravagant, isn't it?"
"According to the records in the book, this is a Blue Profound Jade that is a special product of the Great Yu Dynasty. It is said that mining it is very arduous, so its output is very low. Yan Zixing looked at it and said.
"Great Yu Dynasty?" When Su Nianxia said these four words, his voice trembled even more, and the hand holding the jade tightened.
Hua Ruge didn't notice her at this time, and asked: "So you're saying that Bing'er's disappearance is related to the Da Yu Imperial Family?"
Yan Zixing shook his head: "This is hard to say, we cannot rely on just a piece of jade to guess."
"I actually hope not. Da Yu is the number one great nation in the continent, and their strength far surpasses ours. If they really have something to do with it, it would be difficult." Tuoba Yu sighed.
Hua Ruge raised his eyebrows and said: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, we are powerless right now. Wait a moment."
This was out of her control.
"Wait for what?" Tuoba Yu had caught on to the crux of her words.
"Gambling Competition, half a year later." The one who spoke up this time was Su Nianxia. She spoke out once, and then said excitedly: "When the time comes, we can see the people from the Da Yu Imperial Family, it won't be too late to inquire further."
Hua Ruge looked at her in shock.
However, Su Nianxia had previously said that she wanted to see her lover's performance while taking the Hall of Sages examination.
"Isn't half a year too long?" Shi Yan, who had been silent all this time, said.
"Those people have already taken Bing'er away for a while. If they want to harm her, it's already too late for us to investigate. If they don't do anything to her, we can still meet again in half a year." Su Nianxia said again.
Tuoba Yu looked at Hua Ruge, using his gaze to ask for her opinion.
Hua Ruge nodded his head: "Xia Xia's words are reasonable, we can only wait."
Amongst the crowd, the one who was the most disappointed was Tuoba Yu.
Hua Ruge patted his shoulder and said, "Relax, Bing'er that kid is lucky, things won't happen that easily."
"In the end, she doesn't like me." Tuoba Yu took a sip of the wine and sighed.
Hua Ruge only left her a message, he did not mention Tuoba Yu, which clearly showed the problem.
If she was the one who went missing, she would definitely leave Tuoba Rui something.
Pah pah pah!
What are you thinking about?
Hua Ruge slowly came back to reality and cursed himself for being useless.
Because of this, everyone drank their wine in silence, even Hua Ruge did not say anything.
"If there's anything you need my help with, you have to say it." Tuoba Yu looked at her.
"I will." Hua Ruge raised his glass at him.
In the clear and cold night, the two people's cups made a clear sound when they clashed. Afterwards, they drank it all in one gulp, and had a tacit understanding that no words needed to be spoken.
Hua Ruge handed a bag to Yan Zixing and said: "These things will be useful to you in three days."
Yan Zixing secretly glanced at it and said: "Leave it to me. My father is an official, he will be of great help."
"If it's that simple, I won't ask you to go and do it, Brother Yan." Hua Ruge said, and then whispered in his ear.
Yan Zixing's usually calm expression became somewhat interesting. He could not help but exclaim in surprise, "This idea ?"
"Well?" Hua Ruge drank his wine proudly, waiting for his praise.
"So wicked."
"Puff ?"
Hua Ruge spat out the wine in his mouth and coughed loudly.
Is there anyone who would praise someone so highly?
"Brother Yan, don't say that." Su Nianxia said.
Hua Ruge's expression became a little calmer. Finally, someone spoke up for her.
"Little big brother's treachery can only be displayed in the end. Right now, it's just a side dish."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement.
Hua Ruge felt depressed in his heart, why did he no longer have a positive image in their hearts.
"I can't wait to see the results." Su Nianxia supported his chin as he spoke.
She believed that Hua Ruge's killing power would definitely have a strong effect.
When he mentioned this, Hua Ruge smiled, returned to the table, and continued drinking. She felt that it was all because of her thick skin that she could get along with this group of friends.
"Is there really no one that needs my help?" Tuoba Yu couldn't help but ask again.
No matter how scheming Hua Ruge was, it was still too difficult for him to fight against a giant like the Hua Clan.
"There are, but we have to whisper later." Hua Ruge didn't dare show his plan in front of all these people.
Tuoba Yu nodded with a smile.
The next morning, the Hua Clan entrance was completely surrounded by people, just like the Hua Clan entrance, it was filled with people from all the gambling houses. All the other places were cleared, leaving behind only the battle between Hua Ruge and the Hua Clan.
Hua Ruge had always been a fan of this kind of business where one could earn money without losing anything, but after sending people to investigate, they found out that this was not the outcome of the battle. Instead, they were betting on how long Hua Ruge would be able to stay on the Hua Clan's stage.
After hearing that the bet would last only one to five days, Hua Ruge decisively gave up.
If it wasn't for the lack of time, she would have thought of opening a gambling den and wouldn't have been able to earn money within ten days.
She got up after sleeping soundly, carried her stick, and left for Washington.
This kind of show attracted quite a few people to watch.
She had made a name for herself by fighting against the number one clan in the world.
The elite soldiers were still surrounding the ring and the couplets hadn't been removed. The Hua family had tightly shut the door, and the green bastard on the door had already been washed away.
Hua Ruge looked at his depressed appearance, laughed, and flew up the stage.
The door of the Hua Clan opened, and two young men in their twenties walked out. They looked to be in high spirits, and each of them was a Battle Master cultivator.
The spectators were in an uproar, someone with such a high cultivation had actually appeared so quickly. If Hua Ruge was not careful, it was very possible that he would be defeated by the Battle Master.
The youth's gaze was fixated on her, as if he was looking for some weakness.
"Stop dawdling, let's go together. After we're done, I'll go back to sleep." Hua Ruge hooked his hands at the two of them.
Hearing that, the two of them were overjoyed, and flew up to the stage, at the same time, taking out the swords behind them, and pointing them at Hua Ruge.
They were standing scattered, and must have been afraid of Hua Ruge's Wood Element Vine Technique.
"Tsk tsk, good performance." Hua Ruge joked.
The two of them held their swords horizontally as they attacked her. Hua Ruge opened his eyes lazily.
At the same time.
At the side door of the Hua Manor, Hua Shengxiong sat in his palanquin and rushed straight toward the palace. This time, he did not dare to directly attack Hua Ruge because of the restrictions of the law, and because the Battle King was supporting him, if he acted rashly, the Battle King and the Emperor would not be able to explain themselves.
However, he had figured out the emperor's fate and knew that the emperor similarly hated the Battle King, so he wanted to enter the palace to vent his anger on the emperor.
As long as the emperor acquiesced to his actions, he would not be so afraid of the Battle King.
He hadn't slept since last night and was very annoyed.
When they were about to arrive at the palace, the sedan bearer suddenly stopped.
"Hurry up and leave. If you delay my business, even ten of your heads won't be able to afford it." he growled from the palanquin.
The butler of the palanquin approached the palanquin and said: "Prince Fu, the one in front is Battle King."
Hua Shengxiong's heart tightened, and he immediately lifted up the sedan to see Tuoba Rui's tall and long back.
He was still dressed in black brocade robes, and the aura around him was cold and solemn. There was an imposing aura around him, even though he was not angry, and just the back of his figure was enough to make Hua Shengxiong feel apprehensive.
However, there was a hint of anger in his heart, and he thought that one day, he would have to face him. He took two deep breaths, and was no longer afraid like he usually was.
He got down from the sedan, and said: "Greetings to Battle King, I wonder why Your Highness is blocking this official's path."
"Before, Imperial Brother had ordered the Duke of Guo to close his doors and reflect on his actions. Was he not afraid of incurring Imperial Brother's wrath before the ban was lifted?" As Tuoba Rui said that, he turned around. The clear and cold voice coupled with the cold face made him feel an inexplicable sense of pressure.
Hua Shengxiong raised his head and said: "This subject has an important matter to report to the Emperor, if the Emperor were to punish me, this subject will have no choice but to accept it."
"There's no need for that. It just so happens that this king wants to enter the palace. If the duke doesn't have anything to say to this king, this king can pass it on to my royal brother." Tuoba Rui's voice was calm, but the deep light in her eyes was breathtaking.
Hua Shengxiong naturally would not say that I went to sue you, so he could only say: "This Battle King appreciates your kindness, but ?"
"Who told you that This King has good intentions?" Seeing that he did not know how to appreciate favors, Tuoba Rui's voice suddenly sank, the cold aura leaking out of the corners of his eyes caused people to feel terrified.
