Chapter 1637: Didn’t Make It In Time

The only way someone could have gotten into the bridal chamber was if Qing Luan and Wu Nian had let them in on purpose.

Qing Luan’s face was full of panic, and tears suddenly welled up. “Impossible, impossible! How could Miss have been switched out? The one who is dead is Yun Jingxue, so where is the real Miss?”

“It’s Old Lady Nangong!” Xi Jia blurted in a deep voice, “Just now, only Old Lady Nangong entered the room.”

There was deep sorrow and regret in his eyes. He had already harbored suspicions, so why hadn’t he sought further confirmation?

If he had been more careful, Miss would not have gone missing.

Hearing the words “Old Lady Nangong”, Nangong Yu’s body swayed slightly, then he said coldly, “Bring the person here. I will question her myself.”

He wanted to ask his dear grandmother personally.

Wu Nian was about to say something but hesitated, “Master, Old Lady Nangong wouldn’t have done such a thing.”

“So, tell me, where’s Xi Yue now?” Nangong Yu asked, his eyes cold. “You were supposed to be keeping a close watch at the door. Look at the mess we’re in now.”

Wu Nian shuddered violently, a spine-chilling fear rising from his core, weakening his knees to the point he almost wanted to kneel.

Fists clenched, he hung his head in shame upon hearing Nangong Yu’s words.

Yes, he, Wu Nian, had been guarding here, and yet such an outcome had occurred. Among the master’s eight most trusted confidants, he and Wu Gu were the most proficient in array. Today, with Wu Gu in charge of the outside, he was responsible inside. Yet someone had managed to switch the bride right through their array, and he had detected nothing at all.

Such a mistake was critical!

“Master, Old Lady Nangong is missing!” Wu Yu hurried over to report.

Nangong Yu’s face was so gloomy that sweat dripped from his face. He exuded an aura of sheer brutality and ferocity all around him.

Xi’er had vanished right under his nose on their wedding night.

The sounds of laughter and the clinking of glasses continued outside, oblivious to the storm brewing inside, ready to erupt like a volcano.

“Flutter~ Flutter~ Chirp chirp chirp~” Urgent bird calls came from the sky not far away.

It seemed particularly abrupt.

Everyone looked up and saw a yellow Yue Min Bird constantly hitting the barrier.

Its wings were riddled with wounds. Its urgent, piercing cries cut through the air.

Nangong Yu’s eyes narrowed. He waved his hand, removing the barrier.

Yue Min Bird fell to the ground with a thud. Soon, her body shook, transforming into the appearance of a young girl.

But at this moment, the young girl’s condition was rather pitiful. She had wounds all over her body and a broken arm as well.

As soon as Li Yu saw Nangong Yu, she immediately cried, “Nangong, hurry… you have to save Xi Yue. Someone’s trying to capture her. Lots and lots of people are after her.”

Nangong Yu said urgently, “Who’s trying to capture her? How did you know?”

Li Yu told Nangong Yu what she heard in the magical beast forest and the information Xiao Li passed on.

The more he listened, the colder and darker his expression became.

The Lou Family, the Green Vine Clan — so many people are coveting Xi Yue’s wood source when I’m unaware.

As Xi Yue’s husband, how could I have been unaware of the peril she was in?

“Xi Yue has been captured.” Nangong Yu closed his eyes before saying hoarsely, “Do you know where they will take Xi Yue?”

Li Yu burst into tears. She had rushed here as fast as possible, and Wu Qi had sustained serious injuries protecting her. Unfortunately, she still didn’t make it in time.
