Chapter 1222 1222: Casting a Brick to Attract Jade

The Yuan family's cultivation experts searched through every palace in the City Lord's Mansion, but failed to find the assassins.

The young master, Yuan Hong, and the second master, Yuan Long, arrived with the housekeepers and experts.

Yuan Hong looked at the numerous cultivation experts and asked, "What exactly happened?"

The leader of the cultivation experts clasped his hands towards Yuan Hong and said, "Young master, the guards patrolling in front of the City Lord's Mansion discovered strange and mysterious figures flying into the mansion, thus suspecting that assassins have entered the premises."

Yuan Hong asked, "Were the assassins found?"

The guard leader's expression was somewhat ashamed as he replied, "Reporting to the young master, they have not been found. I have asked those guards again who claimed that assassins entered the mansion. They told me it might have been an illusion, and not real assassins entering the mansion."

The guard leader apparently also believed what those guards said, otherwise, with the Yuan family deploying so many cultivation experts, searching above and below ground simultaneously, if assassins had entered the mansion, they would have been impossible to hide.

However, Yuan Hong's face remained stern as he said, "Have all the Yuan family's places been searched?"

The guard leader replied, "Everything has been searched, except for the forbidden area where the City Lord and several elders are cultivating on the back mountain, and our Yuan family dungeon hasn't been searched."

Yuan Hong furrowed his brow and said, "Hmm, you go check the dungeon, I'll go check the forbidden area on the back mountain."

"Yes, young master," the guard leader responded, then led his grand team of guards towards the Yuan family dungeon.

Yuan Hong led the housekeepers towards the Yuan family's back mountain.

But after walking a few steps, he noticed Yuan Long standing still and asked in confusion, "Brother, why aren't you moving?"

"You go check the back mountain, I'll check other places," Yuan Long said.

Yuan Hong didn't bother with Yuan Long any further and promptly led the experts towards the Yuan family's back mountain.

Yuan Long hurriedly walked towards the palace he was deeply concerned about, accompanied by several guards.

Yuan Long led a few guards through several corridors, round doors, and finally arrived at a pavilion deep within the Yuan Mansion.

Guards could be seen patrolling around the pavilion.

Seeing Yuan Long approaching, these guards promptly saluted him, "Greetings, second young master."

Yuan Long stood with his hands behind his back, displaying a young master's demeanor, and said, "No one has been here, right?"

"Reporting to the second young master, no one has." A guard answered.

Yuan Long nodded and then walked into the pavilion.

Inside the pavilion, two elderly men in black robes sat on chairs, their aura formidable. Seeing Yuan Long walk in, they immediately stood up, respectfully clasping their hands, "Greetings, second young master."

Yuan Long waved his hand, "No need for formalities, elders. How is Miss Wang?"

The two elders promptly replied, "Miss Wang is upstairs, everything is well."

Yuan Long nodded and proceeded to the staircase leading upstairs.

Upon reaching the second floor, he noticed its antique decor, arranged as a woman's bedroom.

Sitting in a chair was Wang Yixin, her brows slightly furrowed.

Having been captured by the Yuan family brothers from Huadu, Huaxia, to the Yuan Mansion on the Holy Dragon Continent, with her vital acupuncture points sealed and her powers unable to operate, escape was impossible.

Even though she was in the Yuan family, her thoughts constantly revolved around Lin Fei.

That night, after Lin Fei went to rescue Qingcheng, Leng Ying, Su Xiaoyue, and Chen Xinyi, she lost all word of Lin Fei's fate.

She also lost contact with Lin Fei entirely.

Where is Lin Fei now?

Will she ever see Lin Fei again?

Wang Yixin's gaze became dim.

Just then, Wang Yixin saw a figure appear on the second floor.

Upon recognizing the face, anger flashed in her eyes.

Since being captured by the Yuan brothers, with Yuan Hong interested in Yuan Yuxi, Yuan Long eventually gave up on Yuxi and turned his affections towards the equally beautiful Qingcheng, Wang Yixin.

Thus, Wang Yixin was kept alone in this pavilion by Yuan Long.

These past few days, Yuan Long frequented her, showing concern and care, and even told her that Lin Fei died at the hands of Gongsun Bin, Xu Dong, and others.

Besides worrying about Lin Fei, Wang Yixin felt no affection for Yuan Long, only deep hatred.

So when Yuan Long appeared again before her, Wang Yixin's expression turned icy.

"What do you want? Get out!" Wang Yixin snapped coldly, lacking any warmth.

Yuan Long was not angry; instead, he grinned, "Wang Yixin, why are you so cold to me? Lin Fei is dead; I am the one you can entrust your future to."

"Get out!" Wang Yixin rudely pointed to the staircase.

Yuan Long chuckled awkwardly, "No need to be upset, beauty. It's not good to hurt yourself—I'll leave, alright?"

With that said, Yuan Long proceeded to the staircase. His original intent was to see whether the assassins would breach this place.

However, seeing Wang Yixin unharmed and no sign of assassins, he decided to leave.

Of course, he believed Wang Yixin's disdain for him was temporary, and with time, his attentive care and her gradual forgetting of Lin Fei, she would eventually fall for him.

With this thought, Yuan Long confidently proceeded to the staircase. As he was about to step downstairs, he suddenly heard some moaning outside, followed by the sound of bodies hitting the ground one after the other.

Yuan Long furrowed his brow, sensing an anomaly.

Similarly, the two Yuan family elders sitting on chairs downstairs sensed something amiss; they immediately got up and walked outside. As they opened the pavilion door,

a figure appeared, striking the vital points of the two elders like lightning.

The elders barely had time to scream before they fell to the ground with a thud.

The second floor Yuan Long, even if slow to react, knew something was wrong downstairs.

He immediately thought of the assassins invading the Yuan family tonight, his eyes projecting a sharp, cold light, thinking: Could it be the assassins really breached here?

Thinking this, Yuan Long leaped down the stairs and landed in the living room.

Then, Yuan Long saw the two elders already fallen unconscious on the ground, a figure facing away from him, shutting the door.

Yuan Long looked at the person facing away from him, and coldly asked, "Who are you?"

The figure slowly turned around to face Yuan Long.

"Lin Fei!" Seeing Lin Fei's face, Yuan Long couldn't help but exclaim.

Yes, it was Lin Fei who had broken in.

Lin Fei had sneaked into the Yuan family to rescue Yuan Yuxi, Master Yuan, Mr. Li, and others captured by the Yuan brothers.

Upon entering the Yuan family, he deliberately let the guards notice him to alarm the entire Yuan family and the Yuan brothers.

Because Lin Fei believed that once Yuan Hong knew of an unknown person infiltrating the Yuan family, he would inevitably check the secret detention places for Yuan Yuxi, Master Yuan, and others.

And once they sent people to check those places, Lin Fei could find Yuan Yuxi and others; this was his bait strategy.

After infiltrating the Yuan family, Lin Fei killed a guard, disguised himself in the guard's uniform, mingling among them.

When Yuan Hong sent guards to check the dungeon, Lin Fei originally intended to follow them. However, he noticed Yuan Long didn't follow Yuan Hong, seemingly heading to a significant place, so Lin Fei decided to secretly follow Yuan Long and arrived here.
