Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 490 The Disappearance of the Ink-Colored Flying Bear

"Hey, where have you been all these years?"

Just as Chu Chen reached the door, a voice came from inside.

Chu Chen looked up and saw that the Fourth Miss was looking at him from inside.

"Hey, where's your master?"

Looking at the young lady sitting in the main seat, Chu Chen asked in confusion.

When Xiao Si heard Chu Chen ask about her master, a look of sadness flashed across her face.

Then, changing the subject, he asked, "What brings you here?"

"Um, I'll go check out the cave!"

"The cave over there? You're looking for those beasts? Don't bother going there, there's nothing there!"

Chu Chen's heart skipped a beat when he heard that there was nothing there.

He thought to himself, "What do you mean, 'nothing'? Was I killed?"

Thinking of this, he ignored Xiao Si, turned around and left the house, then rushed towards the cave where the Flying Bear was.

At the cave entrance, Chu Chen equipped himself with everything and slipped inside.

However, once inside, Chu Chen sensed something was wrong.

It was quiet, too quiet. The entire cave remained pitch black, and there was no more excrement or jade essence in the passageway.

Seeing this, Chu Chen quickened his pace and headed deeper into the cave until he reached the very back of the cave.

There was no sign of another flying bear at the location where the giant flying bear had been before.

Along with them disappeared the jade essence they created.

Chu Chen frowned, turned around and left the cave, then rushed into the house where Xiao Si was.

"Can you tell me what's going on?"

Chu Chen came to Xiao Si's side, grabbed her shoulders tightly, and asked.

"And where is Mo Yun? Where did she go? Great Xia is facing such a great crisis, why didn't you come down the mountain to help?"

Chu Chen felt as if a child he had raised for many years had been stolen.

Xiao Si broke free from Chu Chen's hand and plopped down in the chair.

"Don't ask, I don't know, I really don't know anything!"

"I don't know. You spend all your time on the snow-capped mountains, how could you not know anything?"

Just then, a man walked in.

Upon seeing Chu Chen, he immediately walked over excitedly: "Hey, Brother Chu, what brings you here!"

After listening, Chu Chen turned his head and immediately recognized the person who had come: Mo Kan, who had slept with him the night before when Flying Bear came.

So he turned around and went up to Mo Kan and said, "Brother Mo Kan, what's going on? Where is Mo Yun?"

"Oh, you mean my aunt? She's been missing for years, who knows where she went!"

"Alright, Brother Mo Kan, you can go out now. I'll talk to him!"

When Xiao Si saw Mo Kan arrive, he immediately spoke about Mo Yun's disappearance, and Xiao Si stood up from his seat and said something as well.

"Alright, you guys chat. I don't have anything to do, I just saw Brother Chu came in and wanted to say hello!"

After saying that, Mo Kan walked out of the house.

At this moment, only Chu Chen and Xiao Si were in the room.

Chu Chen then dragged over a chair and sat down opposite Xiao Si, asking, "Speak, is there anyone here now?"

"The red swallow has flown away!"

"What does the fact that the Red Swallow flew away have to do with this... Hmm, who did you say ran away?"

Chu Chen was immediately puzzled when he heard the name Chi Yanfei.

Wasn't Chi Yanfei arrested by Zhou Shixun, imprisoned, and about to be executed?

"He's not dead? Your father didn't kill him!"

"Perhaps Father is getting old and, out of consideration for his brother, only imprisoned him and did not kill him!"

After hearing this, Chu Chen slapped his forehead, thinking to himself, "Zhou Shixun, Zhou Shixun, why don't you have a brain?"

How did you become an emperor? Are you a woman?

"Wait, what does Chi Yan's flight have to do with Mo Yun?"

After listening, Xiao Si picked up the tea on the table and took a sip: "I've been investigating this matter for two years, and there should really be a connection!"

After saying that, she began to tell Chu Chen about what had happened over the past few years.

Not long after Chu Chen left, a group of masked experts suddenly broke into the palace prison. They acted with extreme speed and cruelty.

When Eunuch Wei arrived, he found that Chi Yanfei had already been rescued.

The day after Chi Yanfei was rescued, another group of masked men in black broke into the snow mountain.

Just as everyone was organizing their forces to resist the men in black.

Then, Mo Yun shouted from inside the house, "How dare you! Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?"

Upon hearing the sound, the man in black vanished without a trace.

And along with it, the charm of ink also disappeared!

"So, what about the things inside the cave?"

"I don't know. Perhaps they disappeared with Master, or perhaps they left on their own!"

"Leave on their own? Impossible, they can't get out of this snow mountain."

Xiao Si paused after listening, then said, "After Master disappeared, we expanded our influence everywhere to search for him, and we didn't have time to care about those beasts."

"Just a year later, suddenly, many of the lights along the river went out. We organized our forces to prepare for the attack of those beasts, but we waited all night and the attack never came."

"So the next day I took some men to check, but we never saw those things again!"

Chu Chen frowned deeply after hearing this.

Whether Xiao Si's words are credible or not, the fact remains that the Flying Bear and his own jade essence inside have both disappeared.

So who could have the ability to kidnap Mo Yun and then make all those things disappear?

What is this person's purpose? If I were to encounter them, how could I ensure my safety?

"Then why didn't you go down the mountain to rescue the Great Xia during its crisis?"

"Rescue?" Xiao Si smiled after hearing this.

"My father's safety has not been threatened yet, so why go to rescue him? Besides, do you really think that even if I go down the mountain, I can change the situation!"

Chu Chen smiled slightly after hearing this, thinking to himself that it made sense.

If the military might of the Great Xia Dynasty could withstand so many cannons and flintlock muskets, then there would be no war in this world.

What they said makes sense. Since Zhou Shixun's safety wasn't threatened, she had absolutely no need to come out of seclusion.

What do the common people of the world have to do with her?

People have different ideas, and it's impossible for me to morally blackmail anyone.

So he asked, "Are there any clues about their disappearance?"

"There aren't many, the only one is the phrase Master shouted before he left: 'Heavenly punishment is coming.'"

"Although I don't understand the meaning of divine punishment, perhaps there are things in heaven that are ultimately beyond our reach."

After saying this, Xiao Si stopped talking.

Chu Chen wisely refrained from pressing the matter further.

For me, the only thing I lost was that jade essence.

In the end, I am still an outsider in this world. Since I have come all this way, I might as well continue to see what this world is really like.

After saying goodbye to Xiao Si, Chu Chen didn't linger at all, but drove towards Linhai City.

Having been back for so long, it's time to prepare for the artificial human project.
