Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 1172: Preparing to Break into Prison

Chapter 1172: Chapter 1172: Preparing to Break into Prison

For so many years, the Bibo Moon Flute has been a source of deep concern for Hong Ji; he dreams of acquiring this Divine Artifact.

Seeing the ferocious and greedy look on Hong Ji’s face, Qing Xun finally beca utterly disappointed in his second uncle, whom he had long respected.

He is indeed gentle, courteous, and kind-hearted, but he is by no ans foolish. Realizing the imnse danger, Qing Xun imdiately negotiated amicably with Hong Ji.

Qing Xun made it clear that he had no intention of becoming the Clan Leader and was willing to give the ancestral Divine Artifact Bibo Moon Flute to his second uncle, but Hong Ji must not harm his mother and sister. Once he restored his magic power, he would hand over the artifact and then leave Seven Pearl City with his mother and sister, never to return.

Hong Ji had no intention of letting Qing Xun’s family leave alive; however, the most important thing at the mont was to get hold of the artifact. He knew the storage ring that Ye You gave to Qing Xun was attuned to its owner’s mind, and if Qing Xun died, no one could open his storage ring, causing the Bibo Moon Flute to vanish forever, which was not the result Hong Ji wanted.

So, Hong Ji pretended to agree to Qing Xun’s demands and imprisoned the family of three in the dungeon.

He told Qing Xun that his magic power would be restored in twelve hours, and at that ti, he hoped Qing Xun would keep his promise and hand over the artifact. In return, he would allow Qing Xun to leave with his mother and sister as per the prior agreent.

Jun Ying, who had been with Qing Xun since childhood, attempted to rescue Qing Xun under the cover of night upon learning that he was imprisoned.

Unfortunately, when he found Qing Xun, Qing Xun was unable to leave the dungeon due to his loss of mana. Qing Xun recounted the events to Jun Ying, suggesting he leave the dungeon first and find a way to contact Ye You.

Unexpectedly, Jun Ying was discovered during his retreat and encountered a siege by nurous guards. Although he managed to escape, he was severely injured.

This small courtyard belonged to a friend of his in the past. Later, after that friend left Seven Pearl City following an accident, he entrusted Jun Ying to manage this place.

In Qing Xun’s absence, Jun Ying found it inconvenient to stay in the courtyard where Mrs. Ying and Qing Rouhen lived, so he would co here every night to stay.

Because this location was relatively secluded, no one paid much attention to a guard’s whereabouts, so his refuge went unnoticed.

Jun Ying only had a Level Four Healing Pill on him, which barely healed so of his injuries. The next day, he forced himself to go out, intending to go to the Alchemist Guild to see if there was any way to contact His Highness Ye You.

Recently, Ye You’s ascension to a sixth-level alchemist was a sensational event. Every Alchemist Guild held the young prince in high esteem, and the guilds had special ways of communicating with each other. Since Jun Ying had no way to contact Ye You, he could only try the Alchemist Guild.

As he passed by the Chief Mansion, he heard the sounds of a fierce fight. Jun Ying hurried over cautiously, just in ti to see Qin Sisi send a big man flying.

Upon hearing Jun Ying’s account of Qing Xun’s situation, Jing Jing was extrely worried and angrily said, "How could Hong Ji imprison Qing Xun’s family? They are his relatives! It’s outrageous."

"Who wouldn’t agree?" Jun Ying imdiately chid in, "Hong Ji, to beco Clan Leader, is preparing to marry into an alliance with Tian Xiaozi, clearly betraying His Highness Ye You."

"An alliance?" Qin Sisi and her companions looked at Jun Ying with surprise.

Jun Ying explained, "The big man Ms. Qin injured just now is the Third Heavenly Body under Tian Xiaozi, and Hong Ji has agreed to marry his daughter Qing Yang to the Third Heavenly Body."

"He’s the Third Heavenly Body?" Qin Sisi was surprised, her expression turning grim. She couldn’t help but regret not knowing earlier. If she had known the big man was Tian Xiaozi’s Third Heavenly Body, she definitely wouldn’t have held back.

Yun Wang and Jing Jing felt the sa. They hadn’t fought with full force against the guards. If they had known Hong Ji was determined to rebel and treat Qing Xun so disgracefully, they should have killed those guards then.

After taking the pill sent by Qin Sisi, Jun Ying’s injuries healed completely. He bowed to the trio, earnestly pleading, "Ms. Qin, Mr. Yun Wang, Ms. Jing Jing, you’re all well aware of the Young Master’s character. He always treats others with kindness and has been loyal to His Highness Ye You. I hope you can lend a hand to rescue the Young Master, Mrs. Ying, and Miss Qing Rouhen. Hong Ji is ruthless; even if the Young Master hands over the Bibo Moon Flute, Hong Ji won’t spare them."

Yun Wang and Jing Jing looked at Qin Sisi, Yun Wang in inquiry, Jing Jing with deeper concern than Jun Ying.

As they traveled together, they gradually began to see Qin Sisi as their pillar of support. Firstly, Qin Sisi’s power as the Demon Emperor was much stronger than theirs, and secondly, Qin Sisi thought things through more comprehensively.

Qin Sisi pondered for a mont and asked, "Approximately when will Qing Xun’s magic power be restored?"

Jun Ying replied, "Hong Ji tricked the Young Master into drinking poisoned tea last night. His magic power should recover after nightfall today."

Qin Sisi nodded and turned to Jing Jing, asking, "Jing Jing, do you have any Invisible Grass?"

Jing Jing imdiately replied, "Yes, I have four stalks of Invisible Grass in my storage ring, just enough for each of us to have one. The effective duration is three hours."

"Good," Qin Sisi said solemnly, "Jun Ying, calculate the ti, and we’ll begin our action two hours before Qing Xun regains his magic power."

"Yes," Jun Ying agreed at once, feeling quite excited. He had already noticed Qin Sisi’s Demon Emperor strength, and with her help, the chances of rescuing Qing Xun and his family were high.

There was still so ti before the action, so everyone decided to rest well for a while. Qin Sisi and her companions had flown from the icy region of Crystal City to Seven Pearl City and were very tired. It was a good opportunity to rest and recuperate.

Jun Ying was diligently standing guard outside and occasionally checking the ti.

Ti passed bit by bit, and as daylight slowly faded, Jun Ying’s expression grew increasingly grave.

Finally, he took a deep breath, strolled to the door, knocked, and said seriously, "The ti has co."

Qin Sisi and the others hadn’t been sleeping but were ditating. Once the magic power reaches a certain level, ditating equates to resting; the recovery of the body is as effective as sleep.

Upon hearing Jun Ying’s voice, the three opened their eyes imdiately and stood up.

The door opened, and Qin Sisi stepped out first, followed by Yun Wang and Jing Jing to her left and right.

Exchanging a glance with Jun Ying, Qin Sisi turned and said to Jing Jing, "Prepare for action!"

Jing Jing nodded, retrieved four stalks of Invisible Grass from the storage ring, and gave one each to Qin Sisi, Yun Wang, and Jun Ying, keeping one for herself.
