~5 min read 918 words

Even though the ride was incredibly bumpy, Yin Tian still slept soundly.

It wasn’t until the taxi stopped in front of the Xia Family home that Zhao Wanlin nudged Yin Tian, and he finally awoke from his slumber.

With bleary eyes, Yin Tian also realized he had returned to the Xia Family.

"You should go back first..."

Yin Tian opened the car door and, looking to head back to the Xia Family, said, "You’ve been through a lot during this time. Take a good rest."

Zhao Wanlin smiled candidly at Yin Tian, then instructed the driver to leave.

Yin Tian went straight into the Xia Family home.

Arriving at the back yard of the Xia Family, Yin Tian immediately saw Su Qinwei and Chen Yu sitting together, lost in thought.

"What’s wrong with you two?"

Yin Tian walked over with a bright smile on his face.

Upon seeing Yin Tian’s return, a look of surprise emerged in Su Qinwei and Chen Yu’s eyes, but it was soon replaced by despondency.

Yin Tian frowned, what was up with these two girls?

It was then that Yin Tian sensed something was amiss.

He looked around and realized Xia Nianbing was nowhere to be seen.

Normally, with the help of his spiritual medicine, five days should have been enough for Xia Nianbing to recover.

But where was Xia Nianbing?

"Qinwei, where’s Nianbing?" Yin Tian asked softly.

As soon as he spoke, a look of embarrassment instantly appeared on Su Qinwei’s face.

Seeing Su Qinwei’s expression, Yin Tian knew for sure that something had gone wrong.

He frowned slightly and looked at Su Qinwei, but did not urge her on.

After a moment, Su Qinwei finally raised her head, looked at Yin Tian, and to his surprise, there were tears swirling in her eyes, "Yin Tian... Nianbing... Nianbing has been taken away!"

"Taken away?"

Yin Tian was stunned, clearly not grasping the implications of Su Qinwei’s words, "What do you mean?"

"During these days when you weren’t here, someone suddenly came to the Xia Family and said that Nianbing has extraordinary ’Fortune’ and was destined to be with him, and then they forcefully took Nianbing away!"

Chen Yu spoke up, finally revealing the course of events.

"What?"

Yin Tian looked incredulous, "The Xia Family just agreed to let someone take Nianbing away?"

"That person is very powerful... said to be from a great family in the Imperial Capital. Grandmother Xia and Sir Xia couldn’t provoke him..."

Chen Yu’s voice was choked with sobs, looking for help at Yin Tian, "That person said, if the Xia Family didn’t agree, he would erase the Xia Family from existence... Nianbing, for the sake of the Xia Family, agreed to that person’s conditions and left with him..."

"What audacity!"

Yin Tian’s face turned sour, he hadn’t expected such a thing to happen to the Xia Family in his absence!

Then he turned to Su Qinwei, "Such a serious matter, why didn’t you find me?"

"We tried calling your phone, but it was off, we couldn’t reach you..."

Su Qinwei explained.

Yin Tian was taken aback, took out his phone, and realized that, indeed, it was off due to a dead battery.

These past days, he had been tirelessly concocting medicine for Ye Qinghuang, with no time to charge his cell phone.

And during that exact time his phone was dead, Xia Nianbing was taken away!

"Yin Tian, you must rescue Nianbing. That guy, he doesn’t seem like a good person at all!"

Chen Yu looked at Yin Tian pleadingly, tears constantly swirling in her eyes.

Yin Tian nodded slowly but said nothing.

Su Qinwei spoke up with a questioning tone, "Where have you been these past few days?"

She was blaming Yin Tian.

If Yin Tian hadn’t been unreachable, how could such a thing have happened!

"I..."

Yin Tian opened his mouth but then fell silent.

No amount of explanation would help now that the incident had occurred, and it was because of him.

If he hadn’t associated the fortune of the Xia Family with Xia Nianbing, she wouldn’t have been targeted, let alone taken away.

Yet, he truly hadn’t anticipated that someone from the Imperial Capital would just happen to come to the provincial city, and just happen to notice Xia Nianbing.

"So when do we depart for the Capital City?"

Su Qinwei looked at Yin Tian again, inquiring.

"Not in a rush," Yin Tian slowly said.

Ye Qinghuang’s matter was still unresolved, so it clearly wasn’t the time to go to the Capital City.

Moreover, he had just divined for Xia Nianbing, and for the short term, she should be out of harm’s way.

The nobleman from the Imperial Capital prized Xia Nianbing for her ’Fortune.’

Transferring her fortune wasn’t something that could be accomplished in a short time.

Also, before the transfer, there was no need to worry about Xia Nianbing being violated; such an act would lead to her losing her ’Fortune.’

Therefore, there was no immediate concern for Xia Nianbing’s safety.

"Not in a rush?"

Su Qinwei hadn’t expected Yin Tian to respond with such words.

"Hmph!"

She let out a cold snort and turned to enter her own room.

"Yin Tian..."

Chen Yu looked at Yin Tian and spoke softly, "Don’t be mad at Qinwei. She has been frantic these past few days, and no one could help her..."

"I know..."

Yin Tian let out a bitter laugh.

He was not angry; instead, he felt very sorry for Su Qinwei...
