1649 The Person Next To Her Was Suddenly Long Yin
Hexin’s eyes widened as she watched the fire-spitting performer in amazement.
She had no idea how he managed this.
The cheers and applause were so deafening they could be heard high up in the sky.
Everyone’s attention was fully focused on the performance.
Hexin was no exemption.
Her eyes were bulging; her intrigue and curiosity for the performance were clear to see.
At the same moment, something strange happened.
The flames that the street performer was spitting got bigger and bigger. He seemed to lose control of it and singed the hair of a few people standing at the very front.
Instantly, screams of fear emerged from the crowd.
The originally peaceful crowd that was watching the performance began to panic and everyone pushed against each other, causing chaos.
Hexin could not react in time as a pillar of flame was suddenly flying in her direction.
She tried to step back, but the fire was traveling quickly and there were people behind her. She had nowhere to hide.
Right as she was about to get burned, a gulf of darkness suddenly surrounded her. A big, loose sleeve had opened up and blocked the flames.
At the same time, she heard a painful scream. The fire-spitter was rolling on the ground; Long Yin had struck him with his internal strength.
While Hexin was still in shock, she saw Long Yin’s sleeve catch fire from the flame and it began to burn.
She exclaimed and lunged toward him.
“Big Bro Long Yin, your sleeve is on fire…”
The fire spread quickly and soon burned the hem of his clothes.
When he saw her moving toward him, Long Yin immediately said in a deep voice, “Don’t come near me.”
Hexin did not go any further as she was intimidated by his order.
The young man did not panic as he took off his outer robe without a second thought.
“Are you alright, Young Master?” Qi Heng and Long Huaiyuan finally managed to push through the crowd and rush over to them
“I’m fine,” Long Yin said. When he saw how chaotic the situation was, the look on his face changed as he quickly instructed, “Hurry up and go protect Young Miss.”
Long Huaiyuan took the lead and ran to where Yaoyao was.
However, Yaoyao was nowhere to be seen when he arrived. The two guards in charge of protecting her had fallen to the ground.
As for Bao Yu and the little monk, they were missing as well.
His heart sank as he quickly returned to Long Yin’s side as he forced himself to report, “She is gone!”
Long Yin was shocked but quickly calmed down. He went through the entire scenario that had just transpired as fast as he could.
The conclusion he came to was that the street performer had purposely spat fire at Hexin, who was next to him, in order to divert his attention. While he was focused elsewhere, whoever was behind this had quickly captured Yaoyao, Bao Yu, and the little monk, who had been separated from the others by the crowd.
At this thought, he barked out clear and immediate orders. “Qi Heng, detain those street performers immediately. Huaiyuan, bring some men and give chase outside this city.”
Qi Heng and Long Huaiyuan immediately affirmed the orders respectfully and quickly went off to make arrangements.
Hexin, who was standing by the side, quickly understood what had just happened.
She could not help blaming herself.
If Big Bro Long Yin had not saved her, Big Sis Yaoyao would not have been captured during the chaos.
“It’s fine. Go back to the inn and wait for news.” Long Yin instructed her when he saw her guilty expression. He said to a subordinate next to him, “Escort Miss Hexin back to the inn.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
Hexin knew she would be of no help if she stayed. She might even create more trouble, so she returned to the inn obediently.
Meanwhile, Yaoyao, Bao Yu, and little monk Kong Ming were all unconscious after being drugged. They were placed in a horse-drawn carriage and were about to be taken out of the city.
There were two ordinary-looking men driving the carriage. However, they were actually quite big and sturdy.
“Master, are we returning to Danjue immediately?” The man pulling on the reins of the carriage turned to the man next to him and posed the question.
“Yes. We shall return home immediately,” the man replied nonchalantly.
That man was none other than Wanyan Jin.
He had planned to kidnap Yaoyao the other day in the small town, but Yaoyao did not make an appearance. After that, they snuck into the Prince Rui holiday home and learned that Yaoyao had returned to the capital city after asking around.
