Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General

Madam Xu: "Do you even need to ask? I've already ordered the household staff to search for her!"

"Where's Hong Ying? Call her over and ask who else was with her," said Grand Tutor Xu.

Hong Ying was quickly summoned to the door. "Greetings, Master and Madam!"

Grand Tutor Xu asked, "Do you know who Ling He went treasure hunting with?"

Hong Ying thought for a moment, "This servant doesn't know, but I suspect she's probably with Miss Feng."

"Who is Miss Feng?" Madam Xu inquired.

Hong Ying explained, "Miss Feng is General Qin's fiancée. The young miss has been visiting her lately, and they even opened a tea house together."

Grand Tutor Xu pondered carefully, "How come I've never heard that General Qin has a fiancée surnamed Feng?"

Madam Xu: "I met her at Princess Xuan He's birthday celebration. She's a nice girl."

"Where does she live? Send someone to ask if she's at home," said Grand Tutor Xu.

Madam Xu nodded, "I'll have someone inquire. Don't worry too much. Although she hasn't excelled in the four arts, her martial skills are quite good. She shouldn't encounter any danger."

Hearing Madam Xu say this, Grand Tutor Xu felt slightly relieved. Given her fighting ability, there probably wasn't anyone who could match her. He was thankful for his foresight in having her learn martial arts.

In a villa in the Capital City.

Feng Qingci finished preparing the meal and went upstairs to call Feng Qingyi for dinner. After calling for a while with no response, he opened the door directly but didn't see anyone.

"It's so late, where could she have gone?"

Feng Qingci took out his phone and called Feng Qingyi, but it was out of service.

Feng Qingci was puzzled. What place in the Capital City would be out of service? Could she have gone to some mountain?

He also called Lou Xi to ask, but couldn't get any information about her whereabouts.

Feng Qingci thought for a moment. Today was Saturday, could she have gone to find Qin Yuchuan?

Even if she was going to find him, she would have told him during breakfast or sent him a message. Could something unexpected have happened?

Feng Qingci quickly changed clothes and hurried out, determined to search for her.

Far away in the military camp, Qin Yuchuan stared blankly at his phone. The message he sent last night hadn't received a reply, nor had the several messages he sent today.

Had something happened to her? Or was she too busy to check her phone?

Qin Yuchuan looked at the time on his phone. It was already eleven o'clock. By this time on normal days, she would have been asleep. He decided to go check on her in the morning.

The next day, Qian Jue and Xu Linghe continued cooking self-heating hotpot in the hall. This was the last of the food from Feng Qingyi's backpack.

If they stayed for a few more days, they might have to eat the flavorless meals and pastries in the room.

Qian Jue looked at the images on the pillar and noticed something odd, "Where did that girl go?"

Xu Linghe also looked up, "Has Qingyi come out?"

Just as she finished speaking, the pillar that had been showing Feng Qingyi's image lit up, and then Feng Qingyi appeared in front of the two.

Qian Jue, eating the hotpot, said, "You finally came out. I thought you were going to attend class for another day."

Feng Qingyi scratched her head, "Sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

"Qingyi, we've eaten the food you brought. Hurry and come eat something!" Xu Linghe said.

Feng Qingyi asked, "What time is it now?"

"It should be the second day, but I'm not sure of the exact time," Xu Linghe replied.

Feng Qingyi looked at the watch she was wearing. This watch had been working fine under the ancient tower, but now the hour, minute, and second hands were spinning wildly.

Feng Qingyi then took out her phone, but it had shut off at some point and wouldn't turn on no matter how she pressed the buttons.

It seemed that in this place, these devices were useless.

Feng Qingyi sat down next to the two, "Where's Zhao Yiqing?"

Xu Linghe pointed to the pillar beside them, "He's in there. Who knows when he'll come out!"

Feng Qingyi looked at the images appearing on the pillar, "So, you saw everything I did in there?"

"Pretty much. By the way, Qingyi, how did you see through the illusion and come out?" Xu Linghe asked.

Feng Qingyi: "Maybe after sleeping, my mind suddenly cleared, and I noticed many unusual things at once."

Qian Jue: "At least you're not too stupid. Little Zhao has been reading books for a day and a night now. Doesn't he get tired?"

"A day and a night! Is this the level of a top student?" Feng Qingyi marveled.

Xu Linghe: "If my parents know I didn't come home last night, they'll surely kill me. I really hope he can come out soon, otherwise I don't know how to explain it to them!"

Hearing Xu Linghe mention this, Feng Qingyi also thought of Feng Qingci, who lived in the villa with her. He must be very worried about her too!

In Shengjing, the Xu Mansion was lit up all night, and the people sent out all returned empty-handed.

Grand Tutor Xu, neglecting to attend court, set out early in the morning with Madam Xu in a carriage to Eastern Emperor Mountain.

On Eastern Emperor Mountain, Qin Yi and a group of his subordinates were already waiting, along with Zhao Yiqing's parents standing beside them.

Grand Tutor Xu and Madam Xu climbed the mountain with great effort and successfully met with the others at the summit.

Grand Tutor Xu took the initiative to start a conversation, "Are you all here early in the morning to search for someone?"

Master Zhao quickly nodded, "My son hasn't returned home all night. I heard he went up Eastern Emperor Mountain with some friends, so my wife and I are very worried and came here to look."

Grand Tutor Xu: "What a coincidence! My daughter also went up Eastern Emperor Mountain with friends yesterday, saying they were looking for some treasure. Now she's nowhere to be seen."

Madam Zhao speculated, "Could they be together?"

Grand Tutor Xu thought for a moment, "I only heard from our maid that she was with a Miss Feng. I didn't hear anything about a young man accompanying them."

"Eastern Emperor Mountain isn't that big. Where could they have gone?" Lord Zhao looked around.

One of Qin Yi's guards said, "I hope Miss Feng and the others aren't in danger!"

Qin Yi glanced at him, "Don't talk nonsense. Search the area, and report any findings immediately. We must ensure Miss Feng's safety."

In the villa in the Capital City.

Feng Qingci had searched everywhere he could think of but hadn't seen any sign of Feng Qingyi.

Just as he returned to the villa, he saw Qin Yuchuan sitting on the sofa.

"Why are you here?"

Qin Yuchuan: "I sent messages to Qingqing, but she didn't reply. I'm very worried. Do you know where she went?"

Feng Qingci sat down on the sofa as well, "I've searched everywhere she might have gone, but I haven't seen her. I can't reach her by phone, and she's not replying to messages. If we still can't find her by noon, I'm going to the police station."

Qin Yuchuan thought for a moment, "I'll go look for her."

"If I can't find her, where are you going to look? You're unfamiliar with the Capital City. I don't want to end up having to search for you too," Feng Qingci said.

Qin Yuchuan hurried out of the villa. Feng Qingci heard the door close and followed him out, but when he looked around, Qin Yuchuan had already disappeared. "How did he run so fast!"
