Chapter 176 Turning Back

I thought Qi Rong was overthinking and that no one would do this, but I didn't expect that the trap would actually be triggered!

  The courtyard is not big, and it is even quieter at night, so any unusual noise would seem very abrupt.

  Du Huang would not have heard wrongly, the "click" sound just now was made by the trap!

  She wanted to see who broke in and who made Qi Rong say "Don't hurt him"!

  She stood up and walked towards the main house calmly.

  Why are you in such a hurry? The trap was set by her herself. Anyone below the Nascent Soul stage will be trapped and won't be able to use any spiritual power.

  Even if ten people came, it would be difficult to escape!

  So no matter how early or late she goes, the person will be there.

  Du Huang pushed open the door, but the room was still dark and no light could be seen.

  She listened carefully, but heard no sound.

  This is a bit strange. The man was trapped, but why was there no gasping in pain, nor any sound of struggling or shouting for help?

  Just as she was about to quicken her pace to see what was going on, she didn't realize that danger was behind her.

  Qi Heng was hiding in the blind spot of the door and watched Du Huang walk towards him slowly. Just as she passed him, the sword in Qi Heng's hand pierced into her chest with a puff.

  Du Huang just opened his eyes wide and fell to the ground before he could react to what was happening.

  Qi Heng used fire to destroy her body, then used a cleaning spell to restore the place to its original state before turning around and leaving.

  At this time, Mo Jiuwei was leaning against a tree and yawning.

  [Ah, I'm so sleepy…]

  [I should be sleeping at this time.]

  When Mo Jiuwei yawned, she was so sleepy that tears came to her eyes and she could only rub her eyes with her little hands.

  Hearing the noise, she looked towards Qi Heng, and met his gaze that was both grateful and apologetic.

  The trap was real. He deliberately threw something to make it move and attract Du Huang.

  Because there was really a person lying on the bed in the main room, that person was a maid, and the room was full of the smell of medicine, it was very easy to mistake the fake for the real thing.

  The trap will activate as long as you get close to the bed, and this is a trap completely aimed at yourself!

  If it weren't for Mo Jiuwei's reminder, he would have definitely been tricked.

  Qi Heng was not afraid of being discovered, nor was he afraid of falling out with his father. He was only afraid that he would not be able to save his mother, thus making her physical condition worse!

  But she couldn't survive today.

  That's why Qi Heng was so grateful to Mo Jiuwei. She didn't just help him, she saved his mother's life!

  "Let's go quickly, your mother is in a coma." Mo Jiuwei reminded.

  Just now when Qi Heng went to the main house, Mo Jiuwei had already gone to see Lin Fu.

  There were only three people in the entire villa, one Jindan cultivator was on guard, and the other two maids were looking after Lin Fu. However, two of the three were already dead, and the other was also killed by Mo Jiuwei.

  When Qi Heng heard this, his expression tensed and he hurried to the next room.

  Lin Fu was so thin that only a skeleton was left when she lay there. Qi Heng couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw her.

  "mother..."

  He shouted, but Lin Fu was already barely breathing and didn't even have the strength to wake up. She was still lying there motionless.

  "Don't worry, I'll take her to the Immortal Palace. Senior sisters and brothers can help take care of her for you." Mo Jiuwei said, "Although her condition is not very good, don't be afraid, Senior Brother Qi. We have a lot of elixirs and we will definitely be able to save your mother."

  Qi Heng also knew that time was running out, so he didn't say much, but just nodded with tears in his eyes.

  Mo Jiuwei summoned the Immortal Palace. The people in the Immortal Palace already knew what happened outside, so Chen Lan and the others hurried out.  

  "Hurry, move Aunt Lin to the Immortal Palace, we will give her some medicine." she said.

  "Thank you very much." Qi Heng bowed deeply to everyone.

  "Brother Qi, you are too polite. Your relatives are our relatives. By the way, do you want to enter the Immortal Palace too?" Chen Lan asked.

  "No, I want to go back to Qi's house." Qi Heng said.

  Chen Lan understood it as soon as she thought about it. She nodded and was about to go back to the Immortal Palace.

  "Wait a minute! Senior Sister Chen, feed Aunt Lin the Shujie Pill first, and then feed her these kinds of pills..." Mo Jiuwei named a few medicines, "Hurry up."

  "Okay, I'll make a note of that."

  They returned to the Immortal Palace.

  "Don't worry, your mother will be fine. She will probably wake up once you resolve the Qi family's issues." Mo Jiuwei patted Qi Heng's arm and said.

  Qi Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he had a strange feeling -

  Mo Jiuwei patted himself and comforted himself like a little adult. If someone didn't know what was happening, they would think that he was not a senior brother, but a junior brother!

  "Thank you. Let's go."

  Qi Heng picked up Mo Jiuwei again, immediately left the villa, rushed to Qi Mansion, and climbed over the wall near the guest rooms to enter the mansion.

  The Qi Mansion was in chaos at this time. Qi Ye was awakened from his sleep and immediately took his men to the warehouse.

  As soon as they got closer, they saw the bodies of the guards, including Manager Zhou.

  Qi Ye had a square face, pale complexion, and a solemn temperament. When he saw Manager Zhou, he pursed his lips and asked, "Why are there only a few corpses? Where are the other guards?"

  "They are not here and their bodies have not been found, but they have most likely been killed," said Zheng Kun, the manager of the Qi residence.

  "How is the warehouse? How much was stolen? Where is the thief? Have you found him?"

  When saying this, Qi Ye had already stepped into the warehouse and did not notice the change in Zheng Kun's expression.

  Zheng Kun was sweating on his forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe it off. He just lowered his head and said, "...The person was not found. As for the warehouse..."

  "What happened to the warehouse?"

  The warehouse is a three-story building, but there is nothing on the first floor. There is only a large screen and some empty boxes for storing things.

  The main things are on the second and third floors, so Qi Ye, who had already walked to the first floor, had not noticed any problems.

  The reason for this arrangement is to prolong the time it takes to get something.

  No matter whether it is a common person or a thief, it is impossible for him to get the things and run away in an instant. If he wants to steal something, he must go up the stairs to the second floor, get the things and then go downstairs. This will invisibly prolong the operation time and make it easier to be discovered by the guards, so it is relatively safe.

  "The warehouse... everything is gone." Zheng Kun's voice was trembling.

  Qi Ye didn't quite understand the meaning of these words for a moment.

  Everything is gone?

  All? Gone?

  He couldn't help but frown, "What do you mean, what is gone?"

  "It's the entire warehouse... everything on the second and third floors is gone." Zheng Kun's sweat almost dripped into his mouth.

  Qi Ye suddenly stopped and looked sideways at Zheng Kun, "The second and third floors are all gone? How is this possible!"

  "Master, this is really the case... You should go and see for yourself."
