Chapter 282

unedited

After Xi Ning revived the Red Frost Flower, most of the people present had their attention on the flower. There were a lot of people standing around, and some of them were even trying to stretch their necks, wanting to take a look at this hard-won spiritual plant.

There are dense woods not far from the lake. As long as he is fast enough and hides his trail carefully, Lin An is confident that no one will catch up to him.

He originally wanted to wait until the night when most of the people fell asleep, but at this time it was such a great opportunity, Lin An quietly went behind Xi Ning and used a spell on him, hugging him in his arms and fled quickly.

When the guards came back to their senses, Lin An had already taken Xi Ning into the woods. The guards did not encounter any danger along the way, so they let their guard down. The guard rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and there was indeed a man in servant’s clothes who took Xi Ning away.

He shouted loudly, “His Royal Highness! The Royal Highness of the Elf was taken away!”

His sound alerted everyone, the pharmacist who was taking the petals was surprised and his hand nearly trembled, Ferro didn’t care about the flowers anymore and hurried out of the crowd, “What did you say?”

The head of the mercenary group reacted the fastest. As soon as the guard made a sound, he took out his sword and chased after the person, and a few mercenaries followed him.

However, that person’s speed was too fast. He purposely chose to flee into densely forested areas, and his figure soon disappeared. The head of the mercenary group led his men to search further for a while, only to find a piece of scrap fabric on a branch.

The mercenary took off the piece of cloth and handed it to the head of the mercenary group, “Boss, look.”

It was indeed the servant’s clothes. The head of the mercenary group twitched the corners of his mouth and waved to his subordinates, “It’s too dangerous here, let’s go back first.”

Who else besides Lin An can do this? The head of the mercenary group did not know his intention to take Xi Ning away. Although his employer was Ferro, the mission he took up at the beginning was to protect the safety of everyone in the convoy.

Now that Xi Ning has been kidnapped, Ferro has no way to explain to the other elves in the Cliff Valley Forest. Although the Red Frost Flower has been obtained, because of the current situation they will not be able to leave for a while.

The head of the mercenary group was a little worried. He suspected that because Lin An was with them, the monsters in the forest would not dare to approach them. Before he could confirm it, Lin An left.

A mercenary beside him said, “Boss, are we not going to chase him anymore?”

The head of the mercenary group glanced at him, “We didn’t even know the direction he fled. Even if we do, we won’t be able to catch up to him.”

However, he probably knew where Lin An would go, so it is best to go back and ask Ferro his opinion since the petals of the Red Frost Flower and his wife’s illness can’t be delayed.

After they left, Lin An looked at their backs on top of a tree, Xi Ning was sleeping soundly in his arms, and leaned in front of him obediently.

Lin An hugged Xi Ning’s waist tightly, and after a while, he flew to the ground quietly, and rushed to the center of the forest.

Ferro and the others waited anxiously by the lake. Seeing that the head of the mercenary group  returned empty-handed, they were disappointed and shocked, “Who is the one that kidnapped His Highness?”

After the head guard had counted everyone, he reported to him, “Your Majesty, the servants beside His Highness the Elf have also disappeared.”

Ferro remembered that this person was called Lin An. He was a member of the mercenary group at first, and Xi Ning took the initiative to bring him to his side.

Without waiting for Ferro to ask, the head of the mercenary group took the initiative to take out the piece of his shirt that he found in the forest and said, “That’s right, It’s him. He took His Highness and we didn’t know which way he fled. What should we do now?”

“Hurry up and find His Highness,” Ferro said as expected, “If you can’t bring His Highness back safely, then I don’t want this Red Frost Flower!”

The head guard quickly persuaded, “Your Majesty, why don’t you send the petals back first, and the rest will stay and look for His Highness the Elf.”

The head of the mercenary group also thought so, he sighed, “Your Majesty, please go back to the palace together, I don’t know what the situation is in the depths of this forest, and I can’t assure your safety if anything happens, plus If you want really want us to continue looking for His Highness Elf, you will have to pay extra.”

Ferro looked at the people around him and finally made a decision. This should be the safest way. He pinched hard on the glass box containing the petals that was in his hand, and his body temperature left a few light fingerprints on the box.
