Rong Jialuo was stunned. He immediately took the paper crane. The paper crane was folded in a special way where it would leave an impact once it was opened. This was to avoid the letter being peeked by the person who delivered it.
Rong Jialuo soon unfolded the paper crane and when he read its content, he suddenly clenched his fist.
There were only two sentences on the paper but it was like thunder that struck through Rong Jialuo’s heart, "Your Highness, your mysterious disease is caused by a special poison. Please get someone to bid for that bracelet on my behalf and I will help you cure that poison in you."
A few years ago, Rong Jialuo was diagnosed with a mysterious disease. Whenever he practiced martial arts, his whole body would be in pain, as if his kidney was about to burst but he was fine the moment he stopped the practice.
He was in the midst of leveling up his martial arts and needed to practice it very frequently, or else the skill would turn rusty.
The reason why he held the rank of the first prince, was that he was the first talent in Feixing Kingdom.
If people knew that his skill was rusty, his position would be replaced immediately and most probably, he would even lose his life too.
For the last two years, he had been secretly seeking for medical treatment, but there was no one who could cure him.
They could not even diagnose the sickness in him.
He never expected that Gu Xijiu could actually detect the mysterious disease in him, even from afar.
His fingers slightly shook but he could still remain calm. He softly flipped the paper and it immediately burnt into ashes. Then, he ordered the guard beside him, "Bid the bracelet for me regardless of the price and then send it to me immediately."
Before walking out of the dining room, the guard uttered, "Yes, Your Highness."
Rong Jialuo thought about it briefly and talked to the servant who was still waiting, "Please invite the young man to come here."
The servant was very efficient. He came back in just a while and kneeled down in front of Rong Jialuo, "Your Highness, that young man had left but he did leave another paper crane on the table for you." He then handed the paper crane in his palm to Rong Jialuo.
Rong Jialuo’s face dimmed. He took the paper crane and unfolded it. There were only a few words,"I will meet you at your study room tomorrow night." The font was written with powerful strength and it was the same handwriting as the previous one.
Rong Jialuo's expression slightly changed. He immediately stood up and told the other guard to look for Gu Xijiu immediately and protect her stealthily, as well as investigate her background.
He well understood the temper of his fourth brother. He was afraid that he had already planned to kill Gu Xijiu and once she left the auction house, she might already be assassinated by Rong Chu’s men.
This person was his only hope to cure his mysterious disease, so there was no room for any mistakes.
This was also the reason why he asked the servant to invite Gu Xijiu to his dining room. He wanted her to stay beside him so he could protect her, but he never expected that she would leave...
Time passed slowly. The bracelet had also been successfully bid for and sent over to him. He held the bracelet in his palm but in his mind, there was nothing special about this bracelet.
After a while, the guard that he sent out to look for Gu Xijiu had finally returned. He reported with shame, "Your Highness, I am sorry that I could not find the young man."
Rong Jialuo’s expression changed and suddenly stood up, "How come?"
The brigade of guards around him were his henchmen. They not only possessed profound skills in martial arts but were also bold and cautious. They worked steadily and their tracking techniques were also first class.
If they were to track someone, it was impossible that they would fail to do so. However, now that they were not able to find that young man, most probably that person had already been killed or was hijacked by Rong Chu’s men.
"Are there any movements from the fourth prince's side?" Rong Jialuo asked, in all seriousness.
"Your Highness, the fourth prince is also still looking for that young man…"
Rong Jialuo remained silent.
At the same time, inside the other dining room, Rong Chu had been very unhappy. He slammed his palm on the table until the plates fell down and broke into pieces.
"Such a group of useless people! How could you lose track of that person? I had already ordered you all to block all the exits right?! "
He was very keen to get the Illusion Weed. When Gu Xijiu rejected his deal, he had already secretly ordered his men to block all the exits so that once she stepped out from the auction house, his men could immediately track her down or kill her.
He thought that his plan was perfect, but he never expected that she could actually disappear so suddenly.
The guard who was in charge of this matter started to perspire and said, "I am sorry that I am incompetent. However, I have sealed all the exits but I really did not see anyone coming out from the door. The strange thing was, I had already assigned someone to spy on the dining room on the second floor so that once that person stepped out from the room, we could immediately detect it. However, those few people on the second floor claimed that they never saw anyone walk out from the room. That young man had seemed to disappear so abruptly the dining room…"
Rong Chu remained silent.
Suddenly disappeared?
Even if there was someone who had this kind of ability, he or she had to be at least a level nine of talent. However, it was really rare to see such a talent in this continent and the number of them could be counted with a mere ten fingers.
Even the so-called most talented Rong Jialuo had not even reached such a level yet. He did not believe that an ordinary looking and a petite young man had such a high ability.
Rong Chu was in a very bad mood because his plan had been ruined.
Just at that moment, another guard that he sent to track the first young man also came back with bad news. Apparently, his guards had lost track of that young man too.
Rong Chu was simply furious!
He first disposed the few ineffective guards and then he immediately ordered all his men in the city to search for the two men who actually dared to foil his plan.
Rong Chu had a very strong authority in the country. He not only owned a team in the royal military but also controlled the most powerful organization in Feixing Kingdom – the Dark Barrack.
This organization was formed by all elite but brutal bailiffs. The way they tortured people was the best, as well as their tracking techniques. Once they eyed someone, there was no way that the victim would escape from them.
There were also many talents besides Rong Chu, one of them was skilled at drawing. Therefore, he immediately ordered the talented guard to draw a portrait of Gu Xijiu and the young man, so that they could distribute it to the Dark Barrack.
Once the order from Rong Chu had been passed down, there were numerous bailiffs from the Dark Barrack who had began searching throughout the city…
