Chapter 284 - 284 Looking for Someone284 Looking for Someone
Baili and Ah Da had already instructed these guards to keep their disappearance a secret.
Therefore, when the guard heard Ma Ling asking about the two of them, he said perfunctorily, “The heir and the princess are the masters. There’s no need to report to me, a guard, what the masters are busy with.”
Ma Ling was very unhappy with the guard’s attitude, but he still sensed that something was wrong.
Hence, after returning home, he locked himself in his study and wrote a letter. Then, he asked the messenger pigeon to send the letter away.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his messenger pigeon flew out of the city, it was stopped by people a hundred miles away.

Baili opened the letter and sneered. “This Nine Gate Inspector is quite bold!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter reading the letter, he went to the bottom of the cliff and searched for traces of the two of them with Ah Da.
“Our people have been searching for an entire night, but there’s no news at all. Could they have already left this place?” Ah Da said to Baili with a serious expression.
Baili nodded. “I saw them jump down. There was only a pile of rocks at the bottom of the cliff. I didn’t see a single person. I was wondering where they could be.”
Ah Da sighed. Jiang Ying had not brought him out, so he had only heard about the cliff from Baili.
“We have to send more people to search!” said Ah Da.
Baili thought for a moment and shook his head. “We’ve searched the place at the bottom of the cliff. They shouldn’t be at the bottom.”
“I think they either hung on the mountain, left, or were abducted again,” Baili said.
Baili felt that the last outcome was not very likely. When those people kidnapped someone, there would definitely be a commotion.
However, after the two of them fell off the cliff, there was no movement at all, so Baili was more inclined to the second possibility.
Baili shared his thoughts, and Ah Da nodded in agreement. “If they left the bottom of the cliff, why didn’t they go home?”
“I don’t know about that. Before we consider this, we should eliminate the first possibility,” Baili said.
They hung from the branches of the cliff. This outcome sounded strange, but they could not rule out this possibility. They went to the edge of the cliff to look first.
At the thought of this, Baili decided to look for them along the way.
Arriving at the cliff, Baili felt panicked and uneasy. The traces of a fight were very obvious here, and there were bloodstains.
He felt very useless. The princess had been hurt in front of him. He had failed to protect her!
Taking a deep breath, Baili instructed the people he had brought with him, “Investigate the vicinity. Don’t let go of any clues!”
Seeing that Baili’s expression was very bad, Ah Da asked him, “Baili, what should we do if we still can’t find anything?”
Baili closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down. “I plan to split my men and look around the area.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was already noon the next day. Baili looked at the endless cliff and decided to go down and take a look himself. “Ah Da, please get someone to find the ropes. The more, the better,” Baili said.
When Ah Da heard Baili’s words, he asked in confusion, “Baili, what are you doing?”
“I’m going down from here to take a look!” Baili said, his tone firm.
“Okay!” said Ada.
Originally, even if Baili hadn’t said anything, he had planned to go down from here and take a look. Perhaps he could find some clues if he went down the same way.
Soon, Ah Da’s men found the rope. Baili connected a few ropes. That length was enough.
After he was done, he put the rope around his waist. Only then did Ah Da know that he wanted to go down personally. “Baili, I’ll go down with you. One more person means more strength.”
Baili shook his head and refused. “No, the rope can only support the weight of two people. If I find the heir and princess, it’ll be convenient to pull them up.”
Baili instructed Ah Da, “If I pull the rope a few times in a row, get someone to pull it up.”
After Ah Da pointed, Baili slowly descended the cliff with the help of the rope.
On the cliff wall, Baili’s hand gripped the rope tightly as his feet pressed against the mountain.
