"My Sword! Sword Stake! Sword Stake!"

"My Sword! Sword Stake!"

"My Sword!"

Mo Wei and the search party moved down the forest. After getting a hint from some of the residents who witnessed a suspicious carriage exit the capital at dawn, Mo Wei immediately rushed over by following in his footsteps.

The trail reached the forest fifty kilometers away from the entrance of the capital. Mo Wei divided the troops into two groups and they split up.

If the Stakeholder Sword was not found today, then the King could have directly intervened himself into the field to look for it. Mo Wei could not let the King take the risk.

They shouted as they looked around, wondering if there were any clues left by the Sword Stakeholder for them. It had been more than two days that the Sword Saint had disappeared, he should have left something to be recognized by the royal army.

Until then, one of the search party shouted, "Master Mo! Mr Mo, there's a hairpin here! See if this can be a clue to finding the Sword Stakeholder!"

Mo Wei hurried over. "Give me!"

Mo Wei then took the hairpin and investigated it. It's a woman's hairpin, made of pure silver and pretty simple carvings. Although simple, but the manufacturing materials are only available to skilled craftsmen and quite expensive. You could say, the owner of this hairpin is a rich person or the offspring of a rich person.

Mo Wei suddenly came to a conclusion: the one who was kidnapped was not only the Sword Stakeholder, but rather there were a few more girls!

"Expand search! We're driving down the southern forest!"

"Alright, carry it out!"

Mo Wei and the troops expanded the search area to the south. When they arrived, they were shocked to see an already shapelessly crushed horse carriage. Around it were remnants of chaos similar to a fight.

Mo Wei squatted down to check for blood stains that had dried up on the fallen leaves. The aroma was faint but it was enough to prove the existence of the Sword Saint and the others.

"My sword is around here. Hurry up, find him!"

Meanwhile, Li Fengran and the five girls had just returned home to camp after searching for fruits to eat. Li Fengran gave the fruits he could to the kidnappers who were already in such a mess.

They cannot die before they are tried. Song Jin'er and his four friends admired his character who was still merciful to the person who kidnapped him, and this kind of trait was very rare to find in girls in the capital.

They did not know, Li Fengran was extremely calculating. Right now, he was just being patient and giving in a little bit until the search force managed to find them, then he would count the retaliation with these kidnappers later.

"Did you hear the sound of yelling calling my name in the distance?" li Fengran asked the five girls. He was sure he had just heard the voice of someone calling out to him loudly in the distance.

The girls looked at each other, they then went quiet and tried to hear something! Aye! It might be a search force!

"Miss, are we finally safe?" ask Song Jin'er.

"of course. Didn't I tell you the King will find us?"

The eyes of the girls were filled with hope. Finally after being stranded in the forest for a few days, someone managed to find them. Their lives were saved!

"Help me so they find us soon!" said Li Fengran.

"How is it?"

"Yell as loud as possible. If unable, make a sound from another object that can be heard. If it's hard, just use them!"

At the end of his sentence, Li Fengran's eyes pointed at the kidnappers who were tied up in the trunk of a tree. The kidnappers who were still starving and exhausted shuddered in horror. They did not expect that a beautiful girl who looked innocent and obedient like Li Fengran, in addition to having the position of a Sword Starter and skilled martial artist, was good at taking advantage of the situation. They've been wrong to kidnap people!

Li Fengran and the girls worked together to give a hint with a voice. Mo Wei who was near the area where Li Fengran was located instantly focused the search on the origin of the sound. Not to be mistaken, it must be the Sword Stakeholder.

After walking for several kilometers, Mo Wei and the troops saw a makeshift camp and a shadow of the figure of six girls standing under a tree.

"My Sword!" shouted Mo Wei. Li Fengran turned his head, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"Mo Wei's! Why are you guys so long? I almost starve to death here!"

"We finally found you! Sword Bearer, are you okay?"

"Lumayan. Is Your Majesty in there okay?"

"Very bad. He's crazy because you haven't been found."

Li Fengran sighed. Mo Wei must have worked very hard to prevent Nangong Zirui from looking for him himself. With that temperament of his, if Mo Wei did not make an attempt to stop him, he would have left alone.

"My swordsmen, are there any people who kidnapped you?" mo Wei asked as she glanced at the kidnappers.

"Yes, but only an accomplice. I'll explain later. Now, it's better to go back to the capital first. These girls are already so miserable."

Mo Wei then had someone bring a new horse carriage for the Sword Stakeholder and the five girls. However, Li Fengran again chose horse riding instead of taking the train.

The criminals are escorted by troops back to the capital. When he arrived at a small village market, Li Fengran asked Mo Wei to stop for a while and he let the girls eat at the tavern to replenish the energy, then resumed his journey.

They had only arrived at the gates of the capital after the afternoon. There, Li Fengran saw Nangong Zirui walking back and forth while continuing to look at the road. Behind him was a palace guard and a palace carriage.

The darkness in Nangong Zirui's heart seemed to disappear when he heard this voice. Nangong Zirui looked up, his eyes turned bright and his expression was much better. He immediately ran to welcome Li Fengran and help him get off the horse.

"Xiao Feng's! Do you know how crazy I was when you were lost? Do you know how worried I am when you haven't been found yet?"

Before replying, Nangong Zirui had already hugged her first. Li Fengran was surprised, as well as the people. Even the five girls who were getting off the carriage also paused for a moment.

Wow, what a rare sight! The King directly hugged his Sword Stake in public! Suddenly the residents who watched felt like they were in a romantic drama show.

The bodyguards chose to lower their heads, while Wang Bi simply smiled. He was happy that the Sword Bearer had returned, so his King would not worry anymore. During these few days, the King lost his focus and often messed with ministers because of his emotions.

"Your Majesty, we are in front of the capital's gate. Many people are looking at us" whispered Li Fengran.

"Don't mind them. Xiao Feng, let's go home!"

Nangong Zirui broke into his embrace and pulled Li Fengran onto the carriage. Li Fengran refused, but Nangong Zirui did not want to let it go. He made her sit inside the carriage forcefully.

The palace carriage drove up followed by a retinue of bodyguards. Mo Wei escorted the criminals to the Supreme Court, while the girls were escorted to their respective homes safely and securely. Although without anyone to welcome, these girls were relieved to have returned to this place they called 'home.

Inside the palace carriage, Li Fengran was forced to sit beside Nangong Zirui. He's uncomfortable, but this guy is hard to fight. Li Fengran suddenly recalled his kidnapping that night.

"Your Majesty, there's something I need to talk about."

"What's that?"

"The kidnappers held a human. They are accomplices. Please Your Majesty arrest that damn Chen Pang!"

Nangong Zirui frowned. "Chen Pang's? You mean Shen Jinglang's bodyguard?"

"Yes! He kidnapped me and almost got me sold!"

"You sure?"

"100% sure. I saw it myself! And also the girls, help you give them justice!"

"What justice?"

"Help them free from their families. They are-mmphh."

Nangong Zirui suddenly kissed him and did not let Li Fengran finish his words. Li Fengran hit his chest, yet he was unwilling to take it off and instead bit his lower lip.

Then, Nangong Zirui took it off for a moment.

"Don't talk about it first. You have to take responsibility for my insanity for the past few days for your loss" said Nangong Zirui. He looked at the face, then down at Li Fengran's lips.

"Your Majesty, we're on the train!"

"Well, besides the train, can I do it?"

"It's not so!"

"Just calm. No one would dare to approach the King's chariot."

Nangong Zirui kissed her again. This time, Li Fengran did not fight back and took part in his game. As Nangong Zirui pulled his nape, Li Fengran wrapped his hands around Nangong Zirui's back and drifted away in a demanding gentleness.

Not only Nangong Zirui, Li Fengran had also gone crazy for these few days. It was just that he could not show it for the sake of keeping the girls mentally in order not to lose hope and grieve.

After finishing eating Li Fengran's lips, Nangong Zirui made Li Fengran's head lean on his shoulder. Li Fengran according to, he was almost out of steam.

"You must be really tired, right?"

"I'm starving. But, I believe His Majesty will find me."

"You believe me so much?"

"If I don't believe in Your Majesty, then who should I trust?"

Nangong Zirui smiled.

"I'll get people to arrest Chen Pang. Regarding the matter of the girls, tell me the details after arriving at the palace."

"Yes, I'll obey you."

"Xiao Feng, don't ever disappear from my side again."

"Not going to."
