Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok! Chapter 413

Seeing that the person who went to report had not returned for a long ti, Cen Lizhui frowned slightly and stepped inside.

The palace attendant at the door wanted to stop him, but before he could act, he was rendered immobile in an extrely bizarre posture, just like the group of palace attendants behind the Empress earlier.

The Second Prince was surprised at this sight. This person didn’t seem like soone who would be impatient. Why was he suddenly so anxious?

What Cen Lizhui was thinking, however, was that waiting here aimlessly was a waste of ti. Every mont delayed was a mont later to see Chen Muxue. In her current state, he truly couldn’t rest easy leaving her in that Cold Palace.

Though it seed abandoned and safe enough over there, the Imperial Palace was inherently fraught with hidden dangers. For example, did the Imperial Concubine Wan know what sort of altar was hidden beneath her palace?

Cen Lizhui believed she didn’t know. Otherwise, with the palace in such chaos now, how could she stay contentedly within her palace?

Cen Lizhui walked without making a sound. Most cultivators, with a cautious mindset, would deliberately control their footsteps, and over ti, this beca a habit.

His pacing appeared unhurried, yet it was extrely light and quick. The Second Prince, dragging the Fifth Prince behind him, couldn’t catch up for a ti.

"Imperial Concubine, you may not know, but my companion was in a very poor condition at that ti. Even if she wanted to run away, she couldn’t have done it without any noise. I suspect soone abducted her, hence I’m urgently searching for her. I kindly ask for the Imperial Concubine’s assistance. I will surely repay this debt."

As Cen Lizhui reached the door, his footsteps suddenly stopped. If he wasn’t mistaken, this was Lin Qing’s voice.

But the words Lin Qing spoke were baffling to him. Was it the aning he understood? The kind where Chen Muxue went missing?

Not waiting for Imperial Concubine Wan’s reply, Cen Lizhui stepped directly inside. Everyone’s eyes turned to the unexpected visitor, especially the palace attendant who had co to report. Startled, she cursed her companion inwardly. Why couldn’t they stop him? Weren’t they given signals?

However, what she hadn’t seen was that along the path Cen Lizhui walked, there were palace attendants frozen in place everywhere.

"Lin Qing, what do you an by what you just said?" Cen Lizhui, without beating around the bush, entered, fixed his gaze on Lin Qing, and directly asked.

Lin Qing was montarily speechless, then said, "Miss Chen is missing. I just stepped out for a while, truly just a short while, and she suddenly vanished. This woman can testify—I really only left for a short ti."

The woman holding the Fire Fox was pulled in but wasn’t annoyed. She simply nodded, "She disappeared so quickly. Even without being injured, such a silent vanishing is indeed astonishing."

Listening to this, Cen Lizhui found it laughable. Muxue, a living person, could not have disappeared so inexplicably. If she was abducted, doesn’t she have a mouth to call for help? If sothing like an anesthetic was used, as Lin Qing said, when he returned, wouldn’t he have slled it?

Moreover...co to think of it, didn’t the two of them leave the room together? Otherwise, how could that woman not have seen how Muxue disappeared?

Seeing Cen Lizhui’s expression, Lin Qing realized that such an explanation did not satisfy him, but Lin Qing felt sowhat annoyed as well.
