It was a very brief letter. Du Chuxuan wished he could tear it to pieces but calmed down suddenly after a glance at the window.

There were only two possibilities that the kidnapper dared to openly mention Luosheng Gate. One was that the person who did this was indeed Lord Sun of Luosheng Gate. That way it would be easy to handle. All he needed to do was sending the entire Sect Luo to destroy Luosheng Gate, which could intimidate Lord Sun.

But there was a voice in him, telling him that things weren’t that simple.

Luo Er also read the letter and grew anxious immediately. “My Lord, should we investigate Luosheng Gate thoroughly?”

Eyes closed, Du Chuxuan’s mind was spinning fast. No. it had nothing to do with Luosheng Gate. Only a fool would say he was a kidnapper after he committed kidnapping. Luosheng Gate didn’t have the ability to do that even now. So, the letter was meant to mislead him!

Thinking about this, his mind became clear at once. It was the same with the previous case of the missing women and someone tried to frame the man in red. As a result, he was dragged in. This time, he might have got in the way of someone’s business, too, and that’s why they took Tianrui just to warn him.

Having got that clear, he was relieved. At least, as the letter said, he still had one night, and even if he couldn’t find Yuxing Tianrui tonight, he figured those people wouldn’t do anything to him as long as they had what they wanted.

However, he was still worried and probably would be so until he found Yuxing Tianrui. He had to get him back safe and sound.

“Luo Er, send a message to Luo Yi as fast as you can. I have something important for him to take care of right now. Then get all the men you can and send them to look for Tianrui.”

Many members of the sect had been living a normal life but Sect Luo had its own way of passing information. So, it was more convenient to mobilize them compared to asking the officials for help.

“Search the area within twenty miles outside town.” He looked out of the window and estimated how long it had passed since Yuxing Tianrui had lost his temper with him and how far he could travel during this period. Moreover, considering the phrasing of the letter, with some effort, it shouldn’t be difficult to find him.

“Luo San, go and spread the message that Sect Luo will no longer be participating in the Wulin Assembly. I don’t care what method you use, I want everyone to know that by tomorrow morning.”

The task he gave Luo San was no less difficult than searching for Yuxing Tianrui. It would be the best if Yuxing Tianrui was found. If not, the message was his last resort.

Jiu Dengdan returned. Happened to see the door open, he thought the young couple was having a fight again and wanted to come over to tease them yet what he saw was a total different situation.

“Wow, well done, disciple. Now that you’ve managed to lose your boyfriend, I don’t know what you can do.” After saying this, he saw Du Chuxuan’s face sank and knew he was really angry.

Luo Er and Luo San had already left with the orders. Yuxing Tianrui’s disappearance was unacceptable to Sect Luo, so they didn’t worry less about him than Du Chuxuan.

Du Chuxuan took a glance at Jiu Dengdan. “Shifu, if you can help in any way, please do.” He paused, his eyes slightly dimmed, “He’s very important to me.”

Having watched Du Chuxuan grow up, Jiu Dengdan knew him well. However, he couldn’t bear to see him in such a state. “Well, I’ll go out and I’ll let you know if I have any news.”

After Jiu Dengdan left, Du Chuxuan suddenly put his finger in his mouth and blew a very strange whistle. Not long after that, a bird flew in through the window. If one looked closely, one would find that this bird was the one appeared at his hand in the barracks.

“Dodo, smell carefully. I’m counting on you this time.” Du Chuxuan spoke slowly, neither Sect Luo nor Jiu Dengdan his last resort.

There was no way he would sit here and wait. Good that Dodo was quick to respond. Immediately, it sniffed with cocked head.

Its eyes were fixed on Du Chuxuan glisteningly, who finally had a faint smile. “You’ve noticed it, haven’t you? He does have my scent on him.”

When two people have been together for a long time, they had each other’s smell. Otherwise there wouldn’t have been the saying that couples were alike.

Dodo chirped, then flew out of the window. Luo Er, who had rushed back saw Du Chuxuan’s gesture and followed under his instruction.

Along the way, Du Chuxuan paid attention to the direction he was going and couldn’t help but sneer. As expected, he was right to send men of Sect Luo out of town for the search. The direction he was heading was Green Hills Temple.

He had forgotten that some people did live in town and took a carriage to Green Hills Temple every morning, while others lived in the residence provided by the temple.

The kidnapper was really daring, hiding a man under thousands of staring eyes. Either that he was extremely well connected or he was so good at martial arts that he wasn’t afraid of what others might say.

Dodo followed the smell and soon landed outside a courtyard at the foot of Green Hills Temple. Although it was trained to follow scent, it couldn’t keep going within twenty meters of the smell.

That was close enough for Du Chuxuan. Without hesitation, he kicked the door open, beyond which stood a large man, apparently hadn’t realized what was happening.

Du Chuxuan raised his eyes. It was the person he met on the street before. Crazy thoughts flashed through his mind in a split second, but he did nothing more than letting Luo Er keep the man under control.

Although Green Hills Temple was small, it received funds from Xiangyang, so the residence at the foot of the mountain all belonged to Green Hills Temple. Usually, it provided accommodation for those who came to pray. This time most of the houses were occupied by men of Wulin.

Basically, a person took a house. After Du Chuxuan strolled around the room and found nobody, he set his eyes on the wall and started knocking around, looking for a secret door.

“What do you think you are doing? Do you have no respect for law?”
