Chapter 217 Searching for Someone in the Banquet Hall

Upon hearing Feng Yin's question, Sun Ruo immediately pointed to a location on the surveillance camera, "Here, he appeared in this corner twenty minutes ago, but only for about a second or two, and then he disappeared."

"So far, it has not appeared anywhere else."

“He likes to steal food, so I guessed he was after the banquet. I sent people to guard the banquet hall and kitchen on the first floor.”

After listening, Feng Yin nodded approvingly at Sun Ruo and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Well done."

Upon hearing this, Sun Ruo chuckled and scratched the back of his head.

Feng Yin looked at the screen and said to Sun Ruo, "What about that surveillance footage that appeared earlier? Let's pull it up and take a look."

Sun Ruo immediately nodded and did as instructed.

Before long, the surveillance footage from half an hour earlier appeared on the computer screen.

Sun Ruo paused the video and pointed to the corner she had just pointed to, "It's here, this is the person."

The scene was filled with people, clinking glasses, and men, women, and children, all dressed in fine clothes. Only the person pointed out by Sun Ruo seemed so out of place in the scene.

The man was wearing a tattered robe and, in a corner where no one paid him any attention, he was reaching for a plate of pastries.

Because the surveillance camera was quite far from the person, the image wasn't very clear. Shen Baisu and the others instinctively moved closer to the computer screen to take a closer look at the person being pointed at.

His face was not fully visible, but half of it was discernible. He was disheveled and looked quite wretched.

"Who is this?" Mu stared at him for a long time, but couldn't recognize him at all. "This is so pitiful, he's actually in such a miserable state."

Shen Baisu and the others ignored Mu Ye and continued to stare intently at the computer screen, their expressions somewhat solemn.

Kiya noticed that no one was talking to her, so she observed their expressions and found that they didn't look too good, which puzzled her.

He suspected that his master and senior sister had already guessed who the person in the picture was, but he still couldn't guess.

A sense of doubt crept into Mu Ye's heart. Filled with doubt, Mu Ye shut his mouth, bent down and leaned closer to the computer, staring at the computer screen with Shen Baisu and the others.

The screen on the computer had changed; it was now dynamic, constantly repeating the scene of the disheveled person appearing, stealing the cake, and then quickly disappearing.

It was very fast, taking less than two seconds in total.

Muye raised his hand and touched his chin, looking thoughtful, and said, "It doesn't look like teleportation, it looks like invisibility."

After Mu Ye finished expressing his guess, he turned to look at Shen Baisu and the others, waiting for them to speak.

However, no one responded to him, so Feng Yin said directly, "Junior Sister and I will go to the banquet hall to keep watch. Third Senior Sister and Fourth Senior Sister, you two go to the kitchen."

Muye:?
"Huh? What about me? What about me?"

Seeing that she hadn't been assigned a task, Mu immediately pulled Fengyin aside to ask about her mission.

Feng Yin: "You and Sun Ruo stay in the monitoring room. If they reappear later, notify us."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ye immediately stood up straight and nodded to Feng Yin, "Okay."

So, Feng Yin led her fellow disciples out of the monitoring room.

The monitoring room was in the corner of the second floor. After Feng Yin and the others left the monitoring room, they walked for quite a while before arriving at the stairwell. Just as they were about to reach the stairwell, Shen Wenxu and Yu Yuan suddenly appeared.

"Bai Su".

It was Yu Yuan who spotted Shen Baisu first. He strode over to Shen Baisu in a few steps.

"Big brother, Brother Yu Yuan?" Shen Baisu was just as surprised to see Yu Yuan and Shen Wenxu again as before.

I thought the two of them had already left, why are they still here?
What are you all doing here? What are you busy with?

This time, it was Shen Wenxu who spoke.

Upon hearing this, Shen Baisu replied, half-jokingly, "I came here to find someone."

Yu Yuan: "Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? Have you found them?"

Shen Baisu shook her head, "Not yet, I'm on my way to look for it right now. Time is tight, so I won't chat with you two any longer. Goodbye."

Seeing that the two of them kept asking questions, Shen Baisu hurriedly said goodbye to them and then pulled Feng Yin towards the stairwell.

Upon seeing this, Su Qing and Nangong Ling immediately followed them downstairs.

Yu Yuan and Shen Wenxu were surprised that Shen Baisu had escaped again. They were stunned for a moment, but after they came to their senses, they also chased after Shen Baisu and the other three downstairs.

The stairwell was still crowded, and Yu Yuan and Shen Wenxu couldn't keep up with the four of them. However, because of the crowd, even though Shen Baisu and the other three were fast, they couldn't leave Yu Yuan and Shen Wenxu too far behind.

After Yu Yuan and Shen Wenxu finally went down to the first floor, they could still see the figures of Shen Baisu and the others.

Yu Yuan looked at the four people who had split into two groups and felt puzzled. "Two of them went to the kitchen, and Bai Su and another person went to the banquet hall."

"Didn't you say Bai Su wasn't here for the birthday banquet? Why is she in the banquet hall?"

Shen Wenxu naturally saw Shen Baisu and Feng Yin enter the banquet hall together, and now he was puzzled.

Thinking that Su Qing and Nangong Ling had gone to the kitchen, while Shen Baisu and Feng Yin had gone to the banquet hall, Shen Wenxu had a feeling that something was not amiss. After glancing back and forth between the two directions several times, Shen Wenxu decided to go to the banquet hall first.

So, he went directly to the banquet hall with Yu Yuan.

Although there were many people in the banquet hall, an invitation was required to enter, so the banquet hall was not as crowded as the outside.

After entering the banquet hall, Shen Wenxu and Yu Yuan began searching for Shen Baisu and Feng Yin.

However, because the banquet hall was too large and there were too many people attending the banquet, Shen Wenxu was ultimately unable to find Shen Baisu and Feng Yin.

Not only that, but because of his sudden appearance, a large group of people came forward to offer him a toast, and in the blink of an eye, Shen Wenxu was surrounded.

When Yu Yuan saw that he was surrounded, he immediately ran away.

Originally, Yu Yuan wanted to go find Shen Baisu alone, but after searching the entire banquet hall, he still couldn't find her.

Unbeknownst to him, Shen Baisu and Feng Yin were sitting at a round table in the banquet hall.

Furthermore, Feng Yin also saw him.

Seeing Yu Yuan looking around in the crowd as if searching for someone, Feng Yin nudged Shen Baisu's arm and asked her, "Junior Sister, is that the person who greeted you just now? Is he looking for you?"

Following Feng Yin's gaze, Shen Baisu glanced in that direction.

However, Shen Baisu quickly withdrew her gaze and casually said, "It's him."

Seeing Shen Baisu sitting in the chair, continuing to eat the spirit fruit as if nothing had happened, Feng Yin clicked her tongue softly, "They're looking for you, aren't you going to say hello?"

Shen Baisu shook her head, "Forget it, we're not that close."

"Besides, catching them is more important."

Feng Yin rested her chin on her hand, staring at Yu Lan for a while before suddenly asking, "He looks somewhat familiar, and resembles Yu Lan a bit. Is he related to Yu Lan?"
