Chapter 4781: Annihilation 1

"We received news that Sect Master Ding of the Demonic Cult not only led people to surround the Forgetful River clan territory and capture Long Chuyu and his wife, but also sent people specifically to deal with Long Hui and Long Xiangyun's group."

Qiao Mu paused at the news, her fingers subtly tightening. She said expressionlessly, "Why would he want to capture Long Hui and Long Xiangyun?"

Young Master Da smiled and shook his head. "Not capture—kill."

Qiao Mu's eyes suddenly widened. After a long moment, she said, "What other information have you heard? Tell me all at once!"

Who did this guy learn the habit of telling half-truths from?

Young Master Qin Da couldn't help but chuckle at her earnest little expression.

He simply dragged a stool over and sat down beside her, crossing his long legs. He smiled at her, "Heh, how did you know the information I have isn't limited to this?"

Qiao Mu looked at him expressionlessly, feeling a bit too lazy to engage him.

Did she even need to think about it?

This guy, Young Master Qin Da, though appearing easygoing and unreliable on the surface, was extremely meticulous in his actions.

Since he sent people to observe the Forgetful River Long clan, he would undoubtedly pay attention to every detail, big or small.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you everything," Young Master Qin Da nodded with a smile. "The news I received is that during the encirclement, Long Hui died, and Long Xiangyun was struck by ship debris and fell into the Forgetful River Sea. She hasn't been found yet."

Qiao Mu instinctively clasped her two fingers together.

Qin Xuan looked down at her small hand and sighed. "Qiao Qiao, you still care about them very much. I've already sent people to look for Long Xiangyun. Don't worry, as long as she still has a breath in her, the people I sent to search and rescue will bring her back."

He knew this little one was stubborn but kind-hearted, which was why he had sent people to search for Miss Long Xiangyun ahead of time.

However, the Forgetful River Sea is vast. If Long Xiangyun had transformed into her mermaid form and was hiding in a cave underwater, she would be difficult to find.

"Now Ding Yun's people are also looking for her; it seems they want her alive or her body if she's dead," Young Master Qin Da sighed. "Your uncle and aunt, in his hands, probably won't have a good outcome either."

Qiao Mu was silent for a long moment before nodding faintly, her expression indifferent.

Long Chuyu was Ding Yun's biological father. If Ding Yun, as a son, didn't care about his father, then it certainly wasn't her place, as a nominal niece, to meddle.

Lady Qiao Qiao didn't want to interfere with the trivial matters of the Forgetful River Long clan anymore.

But Miss Long Xiangyun, she was innocent...

"Don't worry, Qiao Qiao. I've already sent many people to search. We'll surely rescue Miss Long before Ding Yun does," Young Master Qin said with a smile.

Qiao Mu glanced at him and tossed out a cold remark, "Why would I be worried about her?"

Young Master Qin Da smiled and stood up. "Alright, alright, you're not worried about her."

Who can your little expression fool?

She's clearly very worried about Miss Long Xiangyun, yet she always likes to pretend she doesn't care.

Young Master Da smiled and shook his head. "Qiao Qiao, you rest well. I'll come check on you a bit later."

Qiao Mu really wanted to yell at him, "Don't come looking for me if there's nothing wrong."

But then she heard Young Master Qin say with a chuckle, "I'll bring you the latest news about the Forgetful River Long clan then."

Qiao Mu then fell silent.
