Su Ning could feel the wind whistling past her ears, and she could even clearly hear Tang Xi and Yue Zijin calling out, "Su Su!"

Pei Yunlian was closest to Yu Xinglai, so he was also a little surprised. With Yu Xinglai's skills, even if he was injured, he shouldn't have been so weak that he accidentally dropped Su Ning.

He ignored the distraught Yu Xinglai and turned to grab Su Ning, but someone beat him to it.

Su Ning, her clothes fluttering like a butterfly with broken wings, fell into the air, her black hair flying in the wind. The white-robed young man on the ground had somehow leaped into the air, wrapped his arms around the girl's waist, and landed safely in mid-air in a few moments.

Su Ning felt as if she had fallen into fresh snow, but the man's embrace was warm. She could clearly smell the faint herbal scent on him, very refreshing, like the scent of snow after a storm. The man was also very polite; she heard his gentle voice say, "Excuse me."

Song Hengxue grew up in the valley and devoted himself to medicine. He rarely had contact with women. The warm and soft woman in his arms at this moment made him feel a little different.

After Su Ning regained her balance, she looked up and met a pair of affectionate eyes. The owner of those eyes was clearly also stunned, and then handed her the veil he had just grabbed: "Miss, your veil."

Song Hengxue was surprised that Tangxi's friend had such a face. Although he had lived in the valley for a long time, he knew that Yu Xinglai was not a lustful person and had never heard of him kidnapping any young lady before. But if it was this girl, it was not hard to understand.

Because Su Ning had just fallen into the air and Song Hengxue caught her in time, not many people could see her face clearly. Most people still focused their attention on Yu Xinglai.

Su Ning took the veil and stood to the side with Song Hengxue. As expected of a famous figure on the Young Masters List, Su Ning knew how attractive her appearance was, but the other party was very polite and immediately distanced themselves from her after landing.

"Thank you for saving me, young master." Su Ning bowed to him in gratitude.

Yuezi ran over as soon as Su Ning got a foothold this morning. Pei Yunlian was a step behind, but she also came over now. Tang Xi saw that everyone was safe and sound, so she didn't rush down. She looked back at the disheveled young man. He had been holding her captive for so long, so he should pay a price.

Yue Zijin carefully examined Su Ning and, seeing that she had no injuries and was only a little pale, felt much relieved: "Thank goodness you're alright, Su Su, otherwise we would be sinners for all eternity."

Especially since they had just led her out of that heartbreaking place, and then, not long after, they had lost her right under their noses, he was almost too ashamed to face her.

Pei Yunlian first thanked Song Hengxue, and then stood beside Su Ning.

Song Hengxue's gaze fell on the girl, her mind racing with thoughts of what to ask, but she ultimately remained silent.

Su Ning was talking to Yue Zijin at the moment. The other party was really talkative. Even though she was the one who had an accident, it seemed like she was the one comforting him.

Tang Xi, carrying a whip, walked step by step to the side of the young man in black. For some reason, he was kneeling on the ground, as if he had completely lost his fighting spirit. The assassins from Ten Miles of Suspended Bells also surrounded him.

"Yu Xinglai, you're now just a victor, a vanquished villain. What else do you have to say?"

Tang Xi's eyes were sharp, and the whip in her hand exuded a murderous intent. She could execute this person on the spot in the next second.

Those below, witnessing this scene, shook their heads and exclaimed, "Is this world-renowned master thief really going to perish here?"

"It's good that he's dead; at least the world has one less elusive thief."

"But his unparalleled disguise skills and his snow-walking, unfettered lightness skill are probably going to be lost forever."

"By the way, when did he get a girl with him? Did you guys see what she looks like?"

Some people watched the spectacle, some felt sorry for the situation, and some were confused.

At this moment, Prefect Qingyun was so eager to strip the man of his clothes and retrieve the pearl that he could only call out to Tangxi, "Miss Tang, could you please search this thief and retrieve my treasure?"

Tangxi looked at the dejected Yu Xinglai in front of her, and without caring why he was in such a state, she prepared to finish him off before searching him.

Just as her whip was about to slit his throat, a whooshing sound came from behind.

With a few "whoosh" sounds, the whip brushed against her hair, and a few more were blocked by her nine-section whip. "Who goes there!" Tang Xi shouted angrily.

A commotion erupted from below.

After a few commotions, thick smoke inexplicably billowed out from the field.

Many people took up arms to prepare for this sudden turn of events.

Su Ning had one hand held by Yue Zijin and the other by Pei Yunlian, the two of them surrounding her, which made her both amused and exasperated.

"Don't worry, Su Su, if anyone tries to force their way in, I will definitely not let them succeed."

Yue Zijin's eyes were very bright; they could be seen clearly even through the smoke.

However, Su Ning felt that this time it shouldn't be aimed at her. She looked in the direction Yu Xing came from on the eaves. Because her view was blocked, she couldn't see clearly, but she had a feeling that the other party should have been rescued.

"This smoke is not poisonous; it's merely a deceptive illusion that will soon dissipate."

Song Hengxue was already standing with them, but since Pei Yunlian and Yue Zijin occupied the position next to Su Ning, he stood behind them.

The smoke caused chaos on the field, obstructing everyone's view and making them somewhat paranoid.

"Who, who stepped on me?"

"You thief! Take this!"

"Brother, it's me! Don't hit me! Don't hit me!"

Because Song Hengxue stood far from the crowd after rescuing Su Ning, the area around them was now much quieter.

The two people beside Su Ning seemed to be afraid and stayed close to her side.

Before long, the smoke gradually dissipated, and the people on the field could see their surroundings clearly.

Yu Xinglai has disappeared!

The first person to spot it pointed to the location on the eaves, and Tangxi was not far from him.

All the assassins who had been lurking around for miles were lying on the ground, leaving Tang Xi standing out conspicuously.

The prefect of Qingyun, who had been holding his servant's hand, was greatly alarmed upon learning that Yu Xinglai was missing. He still clung to a sliver of hope as he looked at Tangxi: "Miss Tang! Have you retrieved my precious pearl?"

Tang Xi looked somewhat annoyed. She leaped down from the roof and stood before You Xunchun. "Brother You, I failed to catch that thief."

You Xunchun shook his head: "Although Yu Xinglai's martial arts skills are not the highest, no one knows his background, and even if he has companions, we have no idea."

When the prefect of Qingyun learned that both the man and the pearl were gone, he was overcome with rage, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted again.

"Susu, are you alright?"

Seeing the girl who had been lost and found again, Tang Xi felt a little better. Fortunately, Su Ning had been successfully rescued.

"I'm sorry to have startled you."

Su Ning felt a little embarrassed. Actually, she hadn't had a bad time with Yu Xinglai, but she quickly forgot about it.
