Chapter 41 Auraflare Technique (2/2)

Qi Ling watched Lu Tieshan’s hurrying figure as a sneer emerged from the corners of his lips. With a wave of his hand, he swiftly followed with his men.

The group travelled as quickly as they could and reached the valley after some time.

Qi Ling was all smiles as he walked out of the forest and looked towards the valley. He believed the place should be a mess and expected to see a half dead Zhou Yuan.

With such thoughts in mind, the smile on his lips grew even wider.

However, in the next moment, he suddenly saw something nearby. A thin youth was staring at him with a smile.

Qi Ling’s smile froze.

“Zhou Yuan? Why is he fine?!” The corners of Qi Ling’s eyes twitched slightly as he cried out in both rage and disbelief in his heart.

Meanwhile, Lu Tieshan sighed in relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders before he kneeled on one knee and said, “Punish me for my late arrival your highness!”

“Please stand captain Lu, I am fine.” Zhou Yuan smiled.

Lu Tieshan stood up, his eyes brimming with an ominous light as he cast his gaze at the unconscious Luo Tong and frostily said, “Is this the one who attacked your highness?”

“It’s the thief!”

However, before Zhou Yuan could speak, a furious howl emerged from behind Lu Tieshan. Qi Ling swiftly walked forward, grabbed Luo Tong and sent a slap flying towards him.

“Speak! Where is the item you stole from Qi Manor?!”

The unconscious Luo Tong was slapped awake. When he saw Qi Ling’s twisted face, he hastily struggled as he tried to speak, “Qi…”

“Stubborn pig! Die!” However, before he could finish speaking, Qi Ling’s eyes turned frosty as a force spurted out from his hand and crushed Luo Tong’s neck.

Luo Tong’s wide-opened eyes stared at Qi Ling as if he was unable to believe what had just happened.

Qi Ling ignored the dead man’s gaze and ripped apart the corpse’s clothes, searching all over for something. Moments later, he stopped with an extremely ugly expression.

“Qi Ling, why does it seem that you are silencing the culprit?” Lu Teishan’s eyes were eerily dark. With a wave of his hand, the dozen imperial guards stealthily encircled Qi Ling.

Qi Ling’s expression remained unchanged as he replied in an indifferent tone, “What is captain Lu saying. The fact that this thief dared to touch his highness warrants a death sentence. What’s more, they even stole Qi Manor’s Auraflare technique.”

“Auraflare technique?” Lu Tieshan was stunned. Qi Manor’s Auraflare technique had been stolen?

Qi Ling looked towards Zhou Yuan and cupped his hands together, “Your highness, there were two thieves. Do you know where the other thief is? Qi Manor’s Auraflare technique should still be in his hands.”

Zhou Yuan smiled upon hearing this. “That I have no idea. I only saw one person. The other one might have escaped with the treasure.”

Qi Ling’s face twitched as he said in a certain manner, “Impossible!”

Zhou Yuan seemed to smile as he said, “Why is housekeeper Qi so certain that he did not escape?”

Qi Ling’s heart jumped, the expression in his eyes fluctuating indeterminately.

“I really have not seen the other person. Housekeeper Qi can continue to search for him.” Zhou Yuan waved his hand as he continued in an indifferent voice, “It’s rather messy here so I shall not insist on housekeeper Qi staying.”

Upon seeing that Zhou Yuan was chasing them away, Qi Ling’s expression turned extremely ugly. They had originally planned on dealing with Zhou Yuan today, but not only was the latter safe and sound, the Auraflare technique had even gone missing. This was practically a double whammy. King Qi would definitely be enraged when he returned.

Although Qi Ling did not know exactly what had happened here, he had a feeling that the Auraflare technique was now in Zhou Yuan’s hands. But what could he do? How could he possibly forcibly search Zhou Yuan? Did they think he was blind to how Lu Tieshan was eyeing him as if the latter wanted to swallow him whole?

As these thoughts churned in his heart, Qi Ling could only clench his jaw and cup his fists together. Without saying another word, he waved his hand, and led his men away in a dejected manner.

He knew that Qi Manor had suffered atruly huge loss this time.
