When she first arrived at Shuncheng, Yun Qixi realized that it seemed to be celebrating some kind of festival there.

In the evening, the group of people changed clothes and went to eat in the tavern. Yun Qixi specifically asked the shopkeeper and found out that it was actually to rush to the temple fair.

Yun Qixi liked to join in on the fun, after hearing the shopkeeper's words, the fatigue from travelling for the entire day seemed to disappear in an instant.

Chu Lingyun saw through her thoughts, and said, "Qi Xi, if you want to go out, after we finish eating, we'll go out to take a look at this temple fair."

The shopkeeper laughed, "Are the guests from outside the city? The temple had only just begun, and it would only be lively at night. "Oh, that's a fire dragon! There are all kinds of colorful lights. It would only look good at night."

After they finished eating, the sky turned dark. Yun Qixi pulled Qiao Er and ran out, Chu Lingyun smiled at her and followed behind.

There were more and more people on the street. Yun Qixi walked into the crowd and slowed her pace. All kinds of colorful lights lit up, making her look especially beautiful.

In fact, as a modern man, Yun Qixi had seen a lot of beautiful things, wouldn't the city's neon colors be a hundred times prettier? But those things were already very, very far away from her.

After leaving the Great Swallow, on the way here, and during the quietness, her heart couldn't calm down. Now that she was submerged in the liveliness, her heart actually became much calmer.

"Miss Er, look, that lotus flower lamp is so beautiful!"

"There's also that one. Look …"

The Qiao Er pointed to this and then pointed to that in surprise. Yun Qixi nodded her head, "Yes, it's nice."

Suddenly, a ray of light flashed across the sky, Yun Qixi stopped and looked up to the sky, muttering to herself, "Is it going to rain? "The commoners finally made it to the temple fair, but it rained. Isn't that a bit too depressing?"

"No, even if it rains, the temple fair will continue." Chu Lingyun walked to her side and answered her.

"Even the heavy rain can't extinguish the excitement of the people rushing to the temple fair?" Yun Qixi raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"Yes." Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded.

"Miss Er, look." Qiao Er suddenly shouted again.

Following Qiao Er's gaze, they saw a long fire dragon being held by a dozen or so young men rushing over from the street. The originally crowded citizens all consciously moved to the side.

This fire dragon was very long and very beautiful. With the cooperation of several youths, the long fire dragon formed a variety of shapes, just like a living dragon winding towards them.

The fire dragons arrived quickly, and the citizens surged over like floodwaters. Yun Qixi and Qiao Er were pushed to one side, but Chu Lingyun was pushed to the other side of the street.

Chu Lingyun looked over worriedly. After Yun Qixi stood properly, she smiled at him consolingly and gave him a gaze that reassured him.

The fire dragon stopped in the middle of the street and began to dance on the open ground. The people's cheers rose and fell one after another.

Another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and after a short while, it began to rain. However, the spectators seemed to not be affected by the rain at all. Instead, they became even more excited as they looked at the fire dragons jumping in the rain.

And all of this was only fresh for Yun Qixi for a moment. After watching it for a while, she felt bored. Her gaze shifted to another direction, but she was suddenly stunned.

It was as if she saw a silver fox mask. She could even see the eyes under the mask looking at her? But, how was this possible? Wasn't he supposed to be in the Prince Jin Palace in the Great Swallow? The fire dragon rolled in front of her eyes. When she looked in that direction again, she saw it again.

Was it her imagination? Or rather, it was someone else wearing an identical mask.

That must be it!

Suddenly, the man holding the fire dragon's tail tripped and fell to the ground, his tail burning. The fire spread fast, going up from the tail, and a few men in dragon dance panicked and began to dance back and forth without any pattern, trying to put out the fire, but the more they did so, the more the fire grew and the less the rain seemed to have any effect in extinguishing it.

The onlookers panicked. After all, this dragon was very long and big. Once it was set ablaze, it would ignite a sky-high fire. The people standing in front of it were especially frightened by the fire and desperately tried to push back.

"Seventh Festival …" Chu Lingyun shouted from the opposite side, but his voice was drowned out by the people's screams.

Yun Qixi had good hearing, she heard him, she saw that he was in a hurry and wanted to come over, but there was a large fire in front of him, and a group of people was squeezing him nonstop, making it impossible for him to come over.

The crowd of people pushed them back over and over again, until they finally slammed into the door of the shop.

"Miss Er." When had Qiao Er ever seen such a scene?

At this moment, the entire Fire Dragon had been set on fire. The entire street was illuminated by the fire, and every citizen felt as if they were being roasted. The people finally remembered that they should escape, not retreat. And so, everyone began to flee in all directions.

"Qiao Er, let's go." Yun Qixi reached out to the Qiao Er beside him, but found nothing.

She suddenly turned around, her eyes searching everywhere, but she could not find the shadow of the Qiao Er. But she was clearly by her side just now.

"Qiao Er …" In such a chaotic situation, Yun Qixi was a little anxious, but her shouts were drowned out.

Looking towards the other side, under the light of the fire, she could already see the situation on the other side, but she did not know where Chu Lingyun was.

Suddenly, the door behind her opened and a hand pulled her inside.

Bang! The door closed.

There was no light in the room, but because of the light outside, and the light coming in through the window paper, the room was faintly visible.

Qiao Er watched her from not too far away, but she could not make a sound because a masked man behind her had tightly covered her mouth. Qiao Er's eyes were wide open, she was clearly very anxious, but if she wanted to express it, she could not express it through her eyes.

Yun Qixi took a deep breath, and laughed, as though all of this was within her expectations. She said calmly, "Let her go, I will follow you."

The masked man's eyes revealed a look of astonishment, he glanced towards the darkness, then a person walked out from behind Yun Qixi and tied her up with a hemp rope. Yun Qixi stood there quietly without moving.

Qiao Er shook her head with all her might, she was so anxious that she was about to cry. She tried her best to struggle against the masked man, but she seemed to be annoyed. She slashed at the Qiao Er's neck, causing him to faint and fall onto the ground.

"Qiao Er!" Yun Qixi stared at Qiao Er who was on the ground and shouted, then stared at the masked man: "You are not trusting me!"

She couldn't see the expression of the masked man, but she could see the mockery in his eyes as he walked step by step towards her.

Yun Qixi glared at him, unwilling to be outdone. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain at the back of her neck. In her last consciousness, she heard someone behind her ask, "What about that woman?"

The masked man coldly replied, "Throw it into the river to feed the fishes."

When she woke up, she was lying in a damp place, her eyes covered by a black cloth, and she couldn't see anything. She moved, but she couldn't move because of the hemp rope.

Remembering everything that had happened before she lost consciousness, she calmed down. Use other senses to sense your surroundings.

From time to time, she could hear the dripping of water, one time, another time, but it was echoing, and her nose was full of the smell of wetness.

Based on her many years of experience in the wild, she determined that she was in a place similar to a cave.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally heard footsteps. Judging from the footsteps, there should be more than one person coming. The footsteps stopped in front of her, and she could feel a little light through the black cloth.

With one hand, he removed the black cloth that was covering her eyes. The light that pierced into Yun Qixi's eyes made him narrow his eyes for a good while before he slowly got used to the light.

It was indeed a cave. Two torches were burning in front of her eyes, and the person holding the torches was a man and a woman. A man with a wide face and a beard, a woman's attire was ordinary. She didn't look like a gangster, but more like an ordinary village woman.

The light from the torch reminded Yun Qixi of the scene back at the temple fair. She stared at the man and asked coldly, "Where is Qiao Er?"

The man sneered, "You can't even protect yourself, how can you control others?"

"Where's the Qiao Er?" Yun Qixi asked again, her voice sounding even colder.

The man saw that she was anxious and laughed instead. He said very slowly, "I've already had her sent to the river to feed the fishes."

Yun Qixi stared at him, her eyes sharp like a blade, and said with a cold voice: "A person who messes around in the martial arts world speaks about honesty, but, I think you all do not have this thing, after all, whatever master you have, will have what kind of servant."

The man's expression changed. He didn't want to continue the conversation with her, so he turned towards the woman and said, "Search."

"Yes." The woman handed the torch in her hand to the man, then walked to Yun Qixi's side and squatted down, then started searching her body.

Seeing this situation, Yun Qixi suddenly laughed, laughing extremely happily, not sneering, not smiling bitterly, but laughing in an extremely ridiculous manner.

The woman touched her entire body. She stood up and said to the man, "Master, no."

"Aiyah, I'll go!" I am truly powerless to ridicule me. I say, elder sister, why do you think that everyone can call me grandpa? Do you know that's even more terrifying than calling me grandpa? "

Hearing her ridicule, the man turned around and looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, then asked coldly, "Where is it?"

Yun Qixi was clearly being tied up extremely firmly, but she was not flustered at all, looking extremely relaxed. He smiled and said, "I had thought that your master would have something new to tell us, but it turns out that it's all a plan, not a single suspense. Your intelligence, needs to be strengthened."

The man suddenly became impatient. He pinched her chin and viciously said, "Cut the crap. Where are the items?"

Yun Qixi turned her face away, but still continued to smile, "If I'm not wrong, you have even searched my inn, right?"

The killing intent in the man's eyes surged. "You think that I wouldn't dare to kill you just because you said so?"

"Do you dare?" Yun Qixi laughed brilliantly.
