Dou Dou slowly woke up and realized that he was lying on a soft bed.
The canopy was not his bedroom. He turned around and saw furniture and objects that he had never seen before.
Lv Su brought him to the courtyard to practice his martial arts, but who would have known that halfway through, his vision turned black, and then, he lost track of anything. He was smart enough to guess that he had been kidnapped.
He abruptly sat up from the bed. His vision was blurry and his neck was hurting. He rubbed it with his hand and let out a dissatisfied groan.
Dou Dou got off the bed and looked around. The unfamiliar, empty environment made his hands and feet go ice-cold. When had he met such a situation at the age of six?
A huge panic invaded Dou Dou and he wanted to cry. When he thought about how his mother was not by his side and even the annoying Your Highness was not around, no matter how much he cried, no one would feel sorry for him.
Just as he was trying his best to hold back his tears, he saw Lv Su opening the door and entering. When he saw awake, he gave him a quick glance, and this gaze wasn't that of the humble Lv Su he usually saw, but was filled with malice and bloodlust.
"You're awake." Lv Su sneered and walked towards Dou Dou. Dou Dou subconsciously took a step back, his tears rolling in his eyes.
On the other hand, Lv Su felt that his current appearance was very interesting. She stared closely at Dou Dou, and the more she looked at his appearance, the more she felt that he looked like Xuanyuan Zhan.
With a cold gaze, Lv Su decided to scare him. This kind of child being scared to the point of crying for her parents was the only way for her to satisfy her abnormal mentality.
"Actually, I am not some Lv Su. I just have some similarities with him. The crown prince has spent a lot of effort to find someone like me."
The fake Lv Su said to him full of malice. Then, he reached out her hand to wipe her face, and then pulled off a thin piece of skin from her cheek, chin, and other places.
The one who entered his eyes was a woman who looked seventy percent similar to Lv Su. She waved the mask in her hands as she smiled.
"Do you know what this is, Young Prince? This is the most powerful disguise technique, it can't even be done in Hongfei Pavilion, because it's made from real human skin, Hongfei Pavilion boasts to be a righteous clan, he disdains to use this kind of method, it's simply naive. "
The fake Lv Su put the real person's face in his hands against Dou Dou's face and rubbed it lightly, causing him to feel even more fear.
"How is it, is it slippery? I specifically chose a woman of fourteen or fifteen years old and pressed her acupoints. While she was still alive, I took off her skin. Her tears flowed incessantly, but she could not make a single sound. That kind of appearance is extremely laughable. "
This time, Dou Dou really couldn't hold it back and started to cry loudly.
The fake Lv Su was satisfied now, then another man walked in, looked at Dou Dou who was crying loudly and frowned, turning towards the fake Lv Su with a blaming look.
"It's your doing again, isn't it?" "He's crying so loudly, what if he's found out? Don't forget that this is an ordinary house, not a palace with multiple layers of barriers."
The fake Lv Su pursed her lips and didn't dare to speak anymore. The man snorted, her frown deepening as she said to Dou Dou in a cold voice with extreme disgust: "Don't cry, if you continue to cry, I'll cut off your tongue."
Dou Dou trembled, he did not compromise any further and continued crying. The man took a step forward, his expression becoming even more sinister than the fake Lv Su.
"His Highness the Crown Prince told us not to kill you, but didn't say that we can't cut your tongue. If you continue making such annoying sounds, don't blame us for being impolite."
This time, Dou Dou shut his mouth appropriately. His teary eyes looked at them pitifully and his face was filled with fear.
Mother, this place is so scary, but Dou Dou knows that they won't kill him.
Battle King Manor.
Feng Yu was sitting on the bed, looking at with a worried expression. Xuanyuan Zhan knew that she wasn't worrying about him, but he felt a sense of satisfaction from her frustration.
Xue Leng was currently changing the medicine on his arm. Feng Yu saw the sinister scar on his arm and felt a bit of fear in his heart, yet Xuanyuan Zhan acted as if nothing had happened to him.
Not long after, Lei Yu led a man wearing the servant uniform of the Royal Mansion over. The man lowered his head deeply, and only lifted his head up after Lighting had closed the door.
It was actually Murong Zhi.
Murong Zhi looked at them helplessly. When he saw Xuanyuan Zhan's arm, he opened his eyes in surprise.
"Prince Zhan, what happened to you? No wonder you were in such a hurry to call me over. You, your subordinate, are about to tie me up. " Murong Zhi said, "Recently, I found out some secrets of the crown prince, but it was not a big deal, so I didn't have anything to pay special attention to."
"Are you sure you can do it or not? If you can't, don't open up some Hongfei Pavilion." Feng Yu instantly became furious, "Dou Dou has gone missing, and you still dare to say that there's nothing special at all?"
Dou Dou thought that she was afraid of Xuanyuan Zhan and patted her chest to comfort her. Feng Yu smiled at him, indicating that he was fine.
Murong Zhi's gaze immediately became sharp, and the gentleness and softness in his peach blossom eyes instantly disappeared.
"What!?" "I really don't know anything about this at all. Just how did he …" Feng Yu didn't want to speak, but Lightning explained it to him in a soft voice, causing Murong Zhi's expression to become deeper and deeper.
"If that's the case, then the crown prince must have purchased another mansion, and all of his secret manuals within the grasp of the Hongfei Pavilion. None of those secret manuals showed any signs of movement, even the ones in the Yan Fei."
When an unknown location appeared, Feng Yu became even more worried. Would they be able to find it? What if those people brought Dou Dou out?
Xuanyuan Zhan quickly saw through Feng Yu's worry and consoled her in a low voice, "Dou Dou definitely hasn't left the city gates. The people at the four gates all have this king's old tribe guarding them, and they know of Dou Dou's existence so the crown prince does not dare to take this risk." After a moment of silence, he softly consoled Feng Yu, saying, "Don't worry. As long as they don't leave this place, nothing will happen to them."
Murong Zhi paused for a moment, and then gave them another great consolation.
"This humble one is already filled with spies in all of Shengjing. Dou Dou is so smart, he will definitely think of a way to notify us. If anything happens, this humble one will definitely receive the news."
Right now, she could only believe in Dou Dou's intelligence.
Murong Zhi glanced at Feng Yu, but was unable to say anything that could continue to calm her down. He decided to turn all of his comfort into action, and leave this place to pay attention to the latest intelligence.
Seeing Feng Yu sitting down in a daze, with worry on her face, and her usual wild cat appearance disappearing, Xuanyuan Zhan understood and retreated with the rest of the people.
"Yu Er."
Feng Yu turned her head, and the gloomy look in her beautiful eyes grabbed hold of Xuanyuan Zhan's heart.
"Don't worry, Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Qing have gone out to help look for him. They know a lot of people in the martial arts world, if the martial artists under the crown prince's command were to go out, they would definitely be able to recognize him, and they will be able to find Dou Dou very soon."
Feng Yu didn't reply immediately, but lowered her head to look at the ground.
"It's just that I've never felt that I was so useless before. Other than wandering around calling out to Dou Dou when he was in trouble, I can only rely on him. I can't help him at all." Feng Yu said softly. Xuanyuan Zhan didn't like to see her weak appearance and felt that this wasn't like her at all.
In the past, her phoenix feathers were soft and tender like soft water. Although they still carried a playful and different tempo from other girls, she was also a stubborn person that would not easily cry. She was tenacious to the point that she would never break.
Once this phoenix feather showed signs of weakness in crying, his heart would be filled with pain. But this phoenix feather that was different from the one before him, with its bared fangs and brandished claws and its confident phoenix feather showing such a helpless side, he felt as if he couldn't breathe.
Feng Yu also didn't like him revealing such a side of herself. She covered her face with her hands, wanting to cover her face. She secretly turned around and used her sleeves to wipe her face. However, her tears couldn't stop streaming down her face.
Suddenly, she felt a finger with a thin cocoon touching her, gently wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes. The finger slowly moved across her smooth and delicate face, bringing out a faint electric current, causing her to freeze on the spot, completely at a loss of what to do.
Feng Yu had never been treated like this before. In the past, when she was wholeheartedly focusing on the comics, she didn't have time to date, and she had never tasted the love her boyfriend doted on or anything like that. Now, she felt that she had tasted this kind of taste.
Feng Yu had a very unpleasant feeling in her heart. She coveted the warmth of this moment, but didn't want him to get too close to him. Her expression became strange, and after thinking for a long time, she could only think of other ways.
"You … If you do that, nothing will happen to your wounds, right? "
"I'm fine." Xuanyuan Zhan said very indifferently, his fingers were still comforting her eyes, "If Yu Er wants to cry, he can rely on this king to make you cry out loud and release your emotions."
She immediately threw herself into his embrace, and started crying loudly without any scruples. Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes darkened, and unaccustomed to gently patting her back, he also felt that it was really uncomfortable to do such a thing and changed it to gently hugging her waist.
When Feng Yu vented all of her fear into tears, she realized that the thing she was leaning on right now was the shoulder that Xuanyuan Zhan was injured on.
"I'm sorry, I didn't notice. Did I crush your wound?"
"Nope." Xuanyuan Zhan said casually. He had an empty feeling about Feng Yu's departure and also felt reluctant to part with her warm and soft body. However, there was nothing he could do about it.
Feng Yu looked at his sleeves. Only when there was no blood seeping out did she feel at ease. Xuanyuan Zhan allowed her to look.
"Is Yu Er not so afraid now?"
Feng Yu nodded her head, the corner of her mouth slightly twitching, as if she wanted to reveal a smile. Her swollen eyes had an appearance that would cause others to pity her.
At this moment, Lei Yu suddenly walked in. He was so excited that he didn't care about etiquette anymore. He directly shouted at them, his voice trembling with a tinge of change in tone.
"There is news about Young Prince!"
