"Ye Xiu, what are you thinking!"
But when Qin Rouer finished speaking and she did not hear his voice, she realized that Ye Xiu was staring at the entrance of the alleyway in a daze.
"It's nothing. It's just that it's a little strange, this alley isn't the only way to get to the Luo Family, so why would Ke Yao appear here?" Ye Xiu muttered.
There should be some clues, but Ye Xiu was unable to think of anything at the moment. It could even be said that he was unable to grasp onto the key point.
If captured, it might be a very useful clue.
After all, Ke Yao had to go to the Luo Family, but in the end, he would encounter an accident in this small alley.
"Ye Xiu, do you mean to say that someone intentionally lured Ke Yao to this place?" Qin Rouer guessed.
Since it was not the only way to get to the Luo Family, then naturally, someone intentionally led Ke Yao to change his route. In the end, they made their move in this small alley, this place that would not attract any attention.
"Someone is doing this on purpose!"
Ye Xiu suddenly thought of something, because what she said was true. There was a high possibility that Ke Yao knew this person, otherwise, strangers would not be able to attract her attention.
"Damn it, if anyone dares to touch a single hair on my Yao Yao's head, I'll annihilate their entire family!" Ke Yunhai said angrily.
Now that the only clue was also cut off, this made Ke Yunhai, as his father, extremely anxious. After all, the longer this dragged on, the greater the possibility of Ke Yao encountering danger.
"Don't worry, Sect Master Ke. Even if this alley won't attract too much attention, there are still many streets on both sides of this alley. Someone will eventually find some clues." Ye Xiu said.
After he finished speaking, Ye Xiu looked towards the crowd gathered outside the alleyway, but there was no one who could provide them with any leads.
Regarding this, Ye Xiu was very clear, because High-grade Profound Stone were rare, although a hundred of them could cause a sensation, many people did not take them seriously.
In other words, if he wanted to get a better value, he would have to use some physical stimulation.
"Everyone, if you have any clues, these hundred High-grade Profound Stone will belong to someone. Our Sect Master Ke is here, so I believe no one will doubt the authenticity of this matter." Ye Xiu casually waved his hand, and a small group of High-grade Profound Stone with dense profound energy appeared in the alleyway.
Because this alley was not very big, when a hundred High-grade Profound Stone appeared, suddenly, a wave of rich and pure profound energy rushed towards everyone who was watching.
"It's really the High-grade Profound Stone!"
Feeling such pure profound energy, the onlookers' eyeballs almost fell out. Although it was enough for the people here to use Middle Grade Profound Stone to cultivate, who would think that the Profound Stone on their body was too good?
As a result, those people who did not believe this was true, began to stir up. As long as they provided a clue, they would be able to obtain these Profound Stone.
This was a hundred High-grade Profound Stone. For ordinary cultivators, this was probably their first time seeing a High-grade Profound Stone.
As for whether or not they would give it to the patriarch in the end, no one present doubted that. After all, the Patriarch of Ke Family was present, so they had some prestige.
It was also because of this that Ye Xiu could clearly see that a portion of them had already escaped from the crowd, and from the looks of it, they were probably going to look for clues.
Seeing that, Ye Xiu silently nodded his head, of course, just waiting for someone to deliver the news to him was not possible, as people would have to rely on themselves at times, and everything else was secondary.
Therefore, even if someone were to look for clues, Ye Xiu and the others had to continue looking for clues.
"Sirius Dog, can you smell where Ke Yao's scent is?" Ye Xiu asked.
Since they were taken away from here, the people who took them away definitely wouldn't have thought that they would use their aura to search for them.
"Master, I can only conclude that he was taken away from here. As for the specifics ?" The Sirius Dog replied while sniffing the air.
But before the Sirius Dog could finish speaking, he stopped abruptly. Because there were too many people around, Ke Yao's aura was almost concealed.
Seeing the Sirius Dog's troubled face, Ye Xiu frowned. Could it be that this single clue was about to end?
"Seems like we can only start investigating from the people that Ke Yao is familiar with. This may be the only clue." Ye Xiu muttered.
He had mentioned before that Ke Yao had been lured here by someone, and who could lure her here without any resistance?
After all, there were no traces of a fight at the two sides of the alleyway. That clearly meant that Ke Yao had entered the alleyway himself, and no one forced her to do it.
Other than this information, Ye Xiu also knew that this person used a blade, and it was a person who held a blade in his left hand.
With these three factors combined, locking on to a suspect could still reduce the scope by quite a bit.
"Benefactor, you are here!"
Just then, a figure suddenly squeezed out from the crowd, it was Luo Hui who had gone back to call for reinforcements.
Of course, Luo Hui was the only one who appeared here, the other Luo Family Protectors were all searching within the Tiantang City.
"Luo Hui, you came at the right time, I have a few questions to ask you, you must answer them truthfully, because this might affect whether or not we can find Ke Yao." Seeing Luo Hui coming over, Ye Xiu hurriedly asked.
"Alright, I will answer truthfully!" Luo Hui said with a serious face.
Since it was related to whether or not they could find Ke Yao, then Luo Hui would definitely not say it carelessly. After all, they had to find the missing Ke Yao sooner so everyone could rest at ease.
"You and Ke Yao have known each other since you were young, right? Then the friends she knows are the friends you know, right?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Yeah, that's about right." Luo Hui nodded.
There was nothing to hesitate about, because they grew up together and there weren't any other cities around Tiantang City so most of their friends came from the same city.
"Can you tell me which one of your friends has a saber? Whether it's a big blade or a small blade, you can tell me about them all." Ye Xiu asked.
"Blade?"
Luo Hui was startled, he obviously did not understand why Ye Xiu's question was related to finding Ke Yao.
However, since it was Ye Xiu who wanted to ask, Luo Hui naturally said: "Brother Zhao and Ma Shujie use sabers, and their sabre techniques are also very good, there are even many people from the Zhao Family and Ma family who use sabers."
"Zhao Family and Ma Family?"
Ye Xiu muttered, and continued to ask: Is there anyone else who uses a blade? As long as it's someone you know, say it. "
"Others?"
Luo Hui thought for a while, then said: "I do, but those people don't really hang out with us, and ever since I was young, I and Ke Yao have pretty much always gone out with Brother Zhao."
"Brother Zhao and the rest? It's the two people I met earlier and the other three people? " Ye Xiu asked.
"Yes, it's them. And out of the seven of us, only Brother Zhao and Ma Shujie use blades. The rest all use swords." Luo Hui replied.
"Oh, I know!"
Ye Xiu nodded his head, although he had less people, it would still be better if he had less people. With the Sword, he had already locked on to two of the suspects, and the second clue might very well have locked on to one of them.
Of course, if it was just a suspect, Ye Xiu was not sure if they were the one who kidnapped Ke Yao. Furthermore, regardless of whether it was the Zhao Family or the Ma family, they had quite a strong influence on them.
"Luo Hui, then let me ask you another question. Between this Brother Zhao and Ma Shujie, who of them has a blade in their left hand?" Ye Xiu asked again.
"Knife in left hand?"
Luo Hui was stunned again, because this question still could not link him with the missing Ke Yao.
"Ye Xiu, the two of them are holding a blade with their right hands, no one is holding a blade with their left hand." Luo Hui replied.
"No?"
Ye Xiu was slightly stunned, obviously this answer was somewhat out of his expectations.
Originally, Ye Xiu thought that one of the two must be the culprit.
But now, Luo Hui actually said that between the two of them, no one had a blade in their left hand, which meant that Ye Xiu was wrong.
As he thought about it, Ye Xiu once again returned to the vicinity of the shallow cut on the ground, and then carefully examined what was special about the slash.
However, no matter how Ye Xiu observed, he could only tell that the blade was on the left hand and could only be seen by the person holding the blade. This was because the blade was on the right side of the blade, if his right hand was holding the blade, then he would not be able to cut such an angle of the blade.
"Could I have guessed wrongly?" Ye Xiu muttered.
If he guessed wrongly, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Sect Master Ke, Sect Master Ke!"
But right at that moment, someone from the crowd suddenly shouted Ke Yunhai's name.
Hearing the voice, Ye Xiu immediately stood up and looked towards the sound, only to see two men desperately squeezing into the alleyway.
"What are you guys doing?"
Seeing this scene, Ye Xiu pointed at the two who were about to enter the small alley and asked.
"Sect Master Ke, we have some clues. My friend here saw Miss Ke walk into this alley with his own eyes." Someone desperately squeezed in repeatedly.
Of course, it was Ye Xiu who asked the question, and even the Profound Stone was taken out by Ye Xiu, but everyone present believed that Ye Xiu was just a servant of the Ke Family, so the two of them said whatever they had to say to Ke Yunhai.
"Did you see anyone enter the alley but Miss K.?" Ye Xiu continued to ask.
This was an eyewitness, so there was a good chance that there were some clues in their words that would help to save someone.
"This ?"
Hearing Ye Xiu's question, the other man seemed to be thinking about something, and he was obviously the witness.
"Think back carefully. If there is anything more valuable than this, these 100 High-grade Profound Stone are yours." Ye Xiu said.
