Chapter 19 Taking Her Away

The voice tugged at Yuan Mu Ye’s heartstrings.

After a moment, he said, "Xiao Yu, it's me."

The words hung in the air.

The room fell silent, then the door opened.

In that instant, their eyes met.

Their gazes were filled with each other, and nothing else mattered.

Yuan Mu Ye saw the weariness etched on Liang Sen Yu’s face and said, "Xiao Yu, are you alright?"

Liang Sen Yu suddenly embraced Yuan Mu Ye tightly and said, "I'm fine. Are you okay?"

Liang Sen Yu knew that entering her home was no easy feat.

She had heard that Yuan Mu Ye had been driven away after entering earlier.

She also knew that it was no simple matter for Yuan Mu Ye to reach this point.

"Don't worry, Xiao Yu, what could possibly happen to me?"

Yuan Mu Ye watched Liang Sen Yu throw herself into his arms. After a moment's hesitation, he reached out and hugged her.

This was the first time they had embraced so closely since Yuan Mu Ye's rebirth.

After embracing for about a minute, Liang Sen Yu said, "Mu Ye, if I had known they would force me into a marriage alliance, I wouldn't have come back."

"Mm, I know."

Yuan Mu Ye said softly.

But he was not one to complain about life; instead, he excelled at solving the predicaments he faced.

His mind worked like this. After a brief moment of thought, Yuan Mu Ye came up with a plan.

He would return Liang Sen Yu to the jade stone world.

This way, he could take Liang Sen Yu away without anyone knowing.

Even after they discovered what had happened, Yuan Mu Ye would have already left the Liang family, perhaps even the Third Capital City.

However, Liang Sen Yu would miss his mother's birthday banquet, so before taking action, Yuan Mu Ye decided to ask for Liang Sen Yu's own opinion.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Yuan Mu Ye finally acted without hesitation, returning Liang Sen Yu to the jade stone world.

Immediately, he left the Liang family without any delay, using the Lingbo Weibu (Micro Steps).

Just as Yuan Mu Ye had predicted, many eyes were indeed watching him. After he left, several figures appeared in the courtyard, their faces filled with doubt, curious as to how Yuan Mu Ye had left alone.

They talked among themselves, their curiosity growing. Soon, they entered Liang Sen Yu's room to investigate.

After calling out her name several times without a response,

they directly pushed open the door and entered, but they did not find Liang Sen Yu. This made them anxious, and they cried out, "Where is she? Where did she go?"

"That kid must have taken her away, hurry and chase him."

"You go and notify the Old Ancestor."

Everyone scattered.

The Liang family's Old Ancestor also received the news. He knew that Yuan Mu Ye had taken Liang Sen Yu, and his expression changed slightly, but he still gave chase.

He moved quickly, trying to catch up to Yuan Mu Ye.

But after going outside, he couldn't find any trace of Yuan Mu Ye. This made the Liang family Old Ancestor curious. He thought to himself, even though Yuan Mu Ye was already in the early stages of the Da Neng (Great Power) realm,

he was still at the peak of the Da Neng realm.

Logically speaking, finding Yuan Mu Ye shouldn't be difficult.

But now, he couldn't find any trace of Yuan Mu Ye. There was only one possibility: Yuan Mu Ye had cultivated some special technique that allowed him to move incredibly fast.

At this time, Yuan Mu Ye was already about to leave the Third Capital City.

The Liang family searched for a while, but all their efforts were in vain.

Liang Shun Qin had no choice but to call a meeting. Now, the matter of the marriage alliance between their Liang family and the Shangguan family had become a major topic of discussion throughout the Third Capital City.

If they couldn't deliver the person tomorrow, they would not only be unable to explain to the Shangguan family, but their Liang family would also become a laughingstock throughout the Third Capital City.

Liang Shun Qin was extremely anxious. He turned his gaze to his Old Ancestor.

"Old Ancestor, what do you think we should do now?"

"What can we do? If the Shangguan family wants to cause trouble, then let them come and cause trouble for this old man."

The Liang family's Old Ancestor naturally had the confidence to say these words. His strength was not to be underestimated.

His Da Neng realm peak strength made him one of the top experts in the entire Third Capital City.

Liang Shun Qin gradually gained some confidence after hearing his Old Ancestor's words and said, "Old Ancestor, since you've said so, then we don't have to worry about the Shangguan family causing trouble."

He said these words as if to comfort himself.

"Mm, don't worry, I will personally make a trip to the Shangguan family. At worst, I'll pay some price." After saying these words, the Liang family's Old Ancestor had no intention of continuing the meeting.

His figure flashed, and he left in the next second.

In his heart, he actually felt that it was not bad for Liang Sen Yu to leave with Yuan Mu Ye.

He was curious about this young man, Yuan Mu Ye, and wondered what heights he could reach.

The Liang family's Old Ancestor believed that Yuan Mu Ye could reach the Shuntian (Following Heaven) realm, and perhaps even greater heights were possible.

If Yuan Mu Ye truly reached that stage, then he would become the Liang family's greatest support.

Now, the Liang family's Old Ancestor sometimes felt that his strength was failing him, and he didn't know how much longer he could live. If his time came, the Liang family would also be in a precarious situation.

Although the Shangguan family's Old Ancestor was younger than him,

if they formed a marriage alliance with the Shangguan family, would that person from the Shangguan family definitely protect the Liang family?

Thinking of this, he sighed, his gaze fixed on the depths of the darkness, not knowing what he was thinking.

At the same time, Yuan Mu Ye had already reached the outskirts of the city.

It was night, and Yuan Mu Ye didn't dare to linger. He didn't choose a specific direction, and as he walked, he soon noticed a glimmer of light ahead.

Yuan Mu Ye didn't hesitate and headed towards the light, originally thinking that the light might be an inn or something else.

But after arriving, he discovered that it wasn't. This place was actually a dilapidated town, desolate and deserted, with not a single person in sight.

This aroused some curiosity in Yuan Mu Ye's heart. Generally speaking, the areas near the Third Capital City would be relatively stable, but this town was actually abandoned.

Could it be that the people here had all moved into the Third Capital City? Yuan Mu Ye thought for a moment and felt that this was possible.

He had run for dozens of kilometers, and Yuan Mu Ye also felt a little tired.

Thinking that the Liang family probably didn't know that he was running in this direction, he thought that it should be fine to rest for a while.

Yuan Mu Ye leaned against a pillar and began to meditate and adjust his breathing.

He didn't know how much time had passed, when Yuan Mu Ye suddenly heard a voice in his ear. The voice was very soft, as if someone was chopping firewood.
