I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 103 Disappeared

"absurd!"

The wine glass shattered into powder instantly, and his usually cold face turned extremely ugly.

Cui Chou found it extremely amusing. Having known his friend for many years, he had never encountered a decent woman besides a few beautiful maids. He was just about to make a joke, urging his friend to simply confirm the rumors and take the girl in, lest this unconventional girl run off and harm others.

But then they heard the little girl say something very seriously.

"Senior Bian, the secret techniques of Tianshan have been leaked!"

"Why do you say that?" Both of them looked at Fei Xi upon hearing this.

Fei Xi's face darkened as she recalled what her junior brother Ji had once told her:

"The enmity between the Qingcheng Sect and the Thunderbolt Fortress stemmed from the infighting among the three sects defending the righteous path in Nanxuan City. The young master of the Thunderbolt Fortress died in the infighting in Sanhe Town, Nanxuan City. My surviving disciples from the Qingcheng Sect told me that everyone felt attacked by the other side. At that time, I suspected that the mastermind behind it all possessed the unique skills of the three sects. Now, thinking about it, it's very likely that not only our three sects' secret manuals were leaked. Lately, I've read in the official gazette that friction between sects has been frequent. I wonder if someone already possesses the unique skills of each sect. To create chaos in the martial arts world, they deliberately left clear evidence to kill important figures from opposing sects, thus causing enmity and hostility between them."

"If what you say is true, who is this person, and what is their purpose?" Cui Chou looked at Fei Xi thoughtfully, mentioning that she was the only one in the entire martial arts world who knew about his sword technique manual.

"what!"

Fei Xi suddenly covered her mouth, her resentful eyes and the secret manual... she remembered.

She felt like she had forgotten something. She had made an appointment with Cui Chou to visit him the next day, but she got sick and forgot about it.

Bian Yuan gave her a strange look, and just as he was about to ask her what was wrong, a figure rushed out of the pavilion and knelt down.

"Master, the young masters are gone!"

When Fei Xi and Cui Chou arrived at the Qiankun Hall courtyard, the doors to the guest rooms were wide open, and Senior Bian was standing in the courtyard listening to Elder Chunyu report something.

Seeing that Fei Xi was safe and sound, the two elders were delighted. Then, seeing Cui Chou, Elder Li snorted coldly, looking very unhappy. Elder Miao stepped forward, pulled Fei Xi aside, and told her what had happened.

The two little boys who slept with Elder Miao and the others had never eaten anything good.

No one stopped them today, and the two kids ate too well for two meals in a row. As a result, they had to get up frequently in the middle of the night to run to the toilet.

Old Miao remembered that Fei Xi had given the little girl some pills, so he was about to knock on the door to ask her for some. But the door opened as soon as he knocked, and in the moonlight, there was no one on the bed inside.

He found it strange and went back to look for Old Li. To his surprise, Old Li was also wondering why the two children hadn't returned yet, even though they had been in the outhouse for almost the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

The two elderly people checked the information and were immediately alarmed, realizing something was terribly wrong. They ran into the outhouse and, sure enough, no one was there.

Qin Shu, Xie Fengrong, and Qin Lan, who was on Fei Xi's bed, were all gone.

"Master, my son is missing too!"

Lin, the sect leader, rushed over with a worried expression. People from Tianshan have difficulty having children, and Lin Tianyu is his precious son, whom he had in his old age.

Normally, he wouldn't even dare to scold him, but even though today, because of the sins his son committed, he was almost implicated and lost his position as sect leader, he still cherished him more than anything else.

Upon returning to the backyard of the Taixu Sect today, he discovered that his wife and children had been locked in a room by Elder Guo and were being guarded like prisoners.

Sect Leader Lin angrily chased away the disciples at the door and went inside.

The disciples outside heard extremely vicious insults again, which continued for more than an hour before gradually subsiding.

Just as Sect Leader Lin had managed to appease his wife, his son, Lin Tianyu, upon hearing that he was unwilling to seek revenge, gave him a look of utter disbelief, angrily kicked the couple out of the room, and locked himself inside, ignoring everyone. Unable to calm him down, he had no choice but to give in to his son's whims.

In the middle of the night, Sect Leader Lin was asleep when he was awakened by a disciple who came to report.

Upon hearing his disciple say that the person undergoing the trial had disappeared, he was initially delighted, but then he sensed something was amiss.

With a bad feeling, Master Lin rushed to his son's room with his wife, only to find that the child was missing.

"Master, you must save my child! He is the only son of my Lin family. If anything happens to him, my Lin family line will end!"

Sect Leader Lin wept uncontrollably, not at all embarrassed, and tried to reach out and tug at Bian Yuan's sleeve, but the other man dodged his hand that was wiping away tears.

"Chunyu Yuan, you lead the men to block off the only road down the mountain; Guo Zimu, you lead the men to search from the south..."

The icy-cold man coldly surveyed the Taixu Sect members who had rushed to the scene, issuing orders one by one.

It has been less than an hour since the children were discovered missing. If the perpetrator's purpose was not to kill the children, then this person with at least four children could not have gone very far.

"Give me the child's birth date and time, and also give me one of the items he has used for many years."

Suddenly, a pair of fair hands reached out to Sect Leader Lin.

Sect Leader Lin wiped away his tears, looked up and saw that it was the little girl Bian Yuan had brought.

"Hurry up!" The stern urging sounded like an irresistible command, leaving Sect Leader Lin momentarily at a loss, and he hurriedly complied.

Fei Xi received the item and did some quick calculations.

"The person is still alive. To the southwest, there's water and mountains. Where is the river southwest of Beitian Peak?"

The Taixu Sect members who remained in the courtyard, preparing to leave with Bian Yuan, looked at their master, Bian Yuan, in surprise upon hearing this.

"How confident are you?" Bian Yuan pondered for a moment, then looked at Fei Xi with a serious expression and asked.

"I am my master's direct disciple!"

As soon as Fei Xi finished speaking, her body felt light, and she was lifted into the air and flew up.

Cui Chou found it amusing and was about to catch up with his friend when he was stopped by the figure with the severed hand:

"Butcher, this is a forbidden area of ​​Tianshan. Please have some self-respect!"

"You want to test my swordsmanship?"

Old Li's eyes flickered, and his inner energy suddenly surged.

Cui Chou burst into laughter, and amidst his manic laughter, he unleashed a madly powerful sword strike towards Elder Li.

*

"Cough cough cough..."

A sudden fit of coughing echoed through the mountains and forests, startling countless birds that had been fast asleep into taking flight and chattering wildly.

The white-clad swordsman frowned, a hint of helplessness flashing in his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.

He led his men to stop on the treetops and waited for the people to recover from their coughing.

Fei Xi initially felt like coughing, but it turned out she was just faking it. She deliberately coughed a few more times, while secretly glancing at Senior Bian, who had a cold expression beside her.

That's outrageous! She's not fully recovered from her illness and doesn't have the strength to run with her light-footed skills, yet Cui Chou still managed to lend her a hand.

Who knew that Senior Bian would treat her like a snack and carry her away? She's not a child, she has to maintain her image!

After coughing a few times, Fei Xi stopped, worried about Qin Lan and the others. But when she saw Senior Bian's outstretched hand, she knew he still wanted to keep her around like a snack.

Birds fluttered between the two of them. Fei Xi seemed startled and slipped. Just as she was about to fall from the treetop, a white figure stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.

With a loud thud, the swordsman who had kindly helped the man regain his footing was slammed against a tree trunk by the force of the impact.

The instigator hooked his arm around his neck and clung to him like a rogue:

"Senior Bian, I feel so dizzy. Can you carry me to get somewhere?"

The body beneath her arms seemed to stiffen for a moment, and just as Fei Xi wondered if the other person was going to throw her out, she clung to him even tighter, like a koala.

"Relax, this won't happen again."

Before she could finish speaking, Fei Xi felt herself being lifted into the air by a strong hand. She was surprised; she had expected to cling to the other person like a koala gripping a tree trunk.

Hmm... of course, this position is better. Knowing she couldn't push her luck, she obediently found a relaxed position and leaned against the other person's chest.
