Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 1173: Walking on Thin Ice

Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173: Walking on Thin Ice

The four of them simultaneously released a trace of magic power, activating the Invisible Grass. The four stalks of Invisible Grass grew brighter, flickering with a bright green light.

The four figures vanished in the small courtyard, leaving it deserted as if no one had ever been there.

Jing Jing was very ticulous in her thinking. Having four people act at the sa ti without being able to see each other was very inconvenient and not conducive to the rescue mission. So she didn’t rest earlier; instead, she cald her mind and entered the storage ring, injecting so Wood Attribute magic power into the four stalks of Invisible Grass, connecting them.

Now, although Qin Sisi and the others couldn’t see each other, they could see the stalk of Invisible Grass pinned on each other’s clothes. Moreover, only those using the Invisible Grass could see the other Invisible Grasses, ordinary people still couldn’t see anything.

Jing Jing inford the others about this, telling them to pay attention to each other’s positions and not get separated.

This design was very clever, and Qin Sisi praised Jing Jing with a few words of admiration.

Jing Jing, embarrassed, said, "Ms. Qin, you flatter . It’s just a little trick. Let’s hurry up and set off!"

So, with Jun Ying leading the way, the group headed towards the Chief Mansion of the Zhulu family.

The bamboo wall was too high, and climbing over it might trigger so chanism, so for safety, they decided to enter through the door directly.

Qin Sisi thought for a mont, and took out a large knife from her storage ring, a failed product made while practicing her forging skills.

She cut her palm, staining the cold blade with her blood.

The wound wasn’t big. Qin Sisi used Wood Attribute magic power to heal herself, and the bleeding wound was quickly treated.

Then she tossed the bloodstained knife in front of the Chief Mansion’s main gate and stepped forward to knock on the greenish gate.

Soon, a servant cautiously opened the door to check and found the bloodstained knife.

This was not the sa servant who opened the door last ti. What Qin Sisi and her team didn’t know was that the previous servant, who had only reported Jing Jing’s situation and hadn’t paid much attention to Qin Sisi and Yun Wang, caused the Third Heavenly Body to suffer defeat and be seriously injured.

After recovering from his injuries with magic power and so elixirs, the Third Heavenly Body vented his anger on the ssenger servant, killing him.

This ti, the servant guarding the door was very cautious. Qin Sisi and her team originally thought that if he didn’t co out, they would have to force their way in.

However, even though the servant couldn’t see them, he would likely sense that soone had entered. With the Chief Mansion being on high alert, this would certainly alert the enemy.

Fortunately, this ti the servant, influenced by the fate of the previous one, ensured that he would report specific and detailed information to his master. After hesitating for a mont, he stepped out the gate, moving to inspect the bloodstained knife closely.

Qin Sisi’s team seized this opportunity to swiftly pass through the main door of the Chief Mansion and enter.

Jun Ying, who was very familiar with the environnt within the Chief Mansion, quickly led the way in front, with the other three following him.

Jun Ying led Qin Sisi and her team through most of the Chief Mansion, arriving at the relatively desolate prison area on the west side.

At the entrance to the dungeon, the ground and walls on both sides had many strings hung with bells. If soone touched them, the bells would ring, alerting the guards of an intruder.

Yesterday, Jun Ying had carefully avoided these bell-hung strings but, when leaving, perhaps due to a turbulent mind and lack of calmness, he accidentally touched a string, setting off the bells and attracting a large number of guards.

After experiencing one failure, Jun Ying was much more familiar with the environnt. He carefully proceeded forward.

Before entering the dungeon, while no one was around, Jun Ying had already warned Qin Sisi and the others about the bell strings. So, Qin Sisi and the other three followed Jun Ying cautiously, bypassing the bell strings one by one.

To avoid alerting the guards, they moved very slowly, like treading on thin ice.

Carefully advancing through the dungeon for about half an hour, Jun Ying finally brought Qin Sisi and her team to the prison cell where Qing Xun was held.

A refined iron rod gate confined Qing Xun inside. He sat quietly on the ground, eyes closed, looking peaceful, as if he wasn’t imprisoned.

Jing Jing, seeing Qing Xun’s slightly pale face and wrinkled clothes, burst into tears, wishing she could imdiately smash the refined iron gate to rescue Qing Xun.

Beside them, two guards stood on either side of the refined iron gate. Qin Sisi thought for a mont, pulling the team back a little, and whispered her plan.

Yun Wang and Jun Ying acted simultaneously, silently approaching the two guards and quickly taking them down with a single move.

Then they propped up the guards’ bodies, preventing them from falling, making it look as if they were still standing guard, as if nothing had happened.

The refined iron gate had a large, sturdy iron lock, but the key was not found on the guards.

Jun Ying said that Hong Ji must have taken the key, fearing that Qing Xun would seize it and escape.

Qin Sisi approached, gripping two refined iron rods with her palms and slowly releasing Fire Attribute magic power, making her palms increasingly hot.

Under the burn of the Fire Attribute magic power, the two refined iron rods began to lt, and after twenty minutes, they turned into molten iron and disappeared from the refined iron gate.

An opening appeared in the gate, allowing Qin Sisi and Jing Jing to slip inside and quietly speak with Qing Xun.

Qing Xun opened his eyes, delighted to hear Qin Sisi and Jing Jing’s voices. He whispered, "I can’t leave yet. If I leave this cell, they’ll soon realize I’m gone. You must rescue my mother and sister first, then we’ll escape together."

Qin Sisi knew Qing Xun made a good point. She asked, "This dungeon is huge, is there any way to quickly find them?"

Qing Xun thought, retrieving a sachet embroidered with bamboo from his clothes, and handed it to Qin Sisi. "My sister gave this to ; it contains her hair. Let Yun Wang use his nose to find them."

Years of friendship made Qing Xun familiar with Yun Wang’s sense of sll; he trusted Yun Wang to succeed.

Qin Sisi nodded, took the sachet, and exited Qing Xun’s cell.

Jing Jing, reluctant to leave, choked up and said to Qing Xun, "Brother Qing Xun, hang in there a bit longer. We’ll get you out soon."

After saying this, she reluctantly slipped out through the gate’s gap.
