The City Lord and his younger daughter were coming out of Feng Jiu’s courtyard, walking and talking. When they reached the front, they heard the guards’ shout. Someone was breaking into the City Lord’s manor?
When they looked at the location where the sound originated, they saw that the leader was a man in a black robe, domineering and magnificent. He looked like an ordinary person at a glance. Moreover, he only brought two people, which should not be assassins. When he saw the manor’s guards and the man’s guards were getting ready to exchange blows, he immediately cried out.
“Stop!”
The City Lord’s manor guards saw that the City Lord was coming and then stepped back. After a respectful bow, he stood aside and watched the three men with vigilance.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze glanced at City Lord and asked, “Where’s Feng Jiu?”
The city Lord was stunned and asked, “Who is this esteemed guest?”
“Where’s Feng Jiu?”
Xuanyuan Mo Ze frowned. His face showed a look of displeasure. His gloomy expression made his loftiness seem to be increasingly more imposing and unassailable.
The change in his vigour and the mighty pressure made the guards feel uneasy. They looked at the City Lord from time to time.
However, at this time, a soft and shy voice suddenly came out, breaking this depressing atmosphere.
“Young Master, I know where he is. Please follow me.”
Duan Linlin’s heart fluttered and her eyes were full of this domineering and noble man. Even if she didn’t know who he was, his momentum and temperament were enough to let her know that he was absolutely extraordinary.
“Little Lin!”
The City Lord frowned and looked at her with disapproval. He had no idea whether Xuanyuan Mo Ze was an enemy or a friend. How could they bring people to see Feng Jiu? If an accident happened, he’s afraid…
“Young Master, please come this way.” She ignored her father’s words and behaved elegantly, completely showing the posture of the City Lord’s daughter.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze walked, with Gray Wolf and Shadow One behind him. They went together inside.
The City Lord could only follow them.
When several of them came to the courtyard, the City Lord and his daughter were kept out.
Guan Xilin, in front of the room, saw Xuanyuan Mo Ze and his subordinates came in. He was surprised to see him. “It’s you? Why are you here?”
“How is she?” When he saw Guan Xilin guarding in front of the door, Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s expression relaxed and asked Guan Xilin with a calm voice.
“She got hurt in several places and shed a lot of blood.” With this answer, Xuanyuan Mo Ze strode, intending to enter the room. Guan Xilin immediately stopped him. “Please wait.”
Xuanyuan Mo Ze stopped to look at him, waiting for him to speak.
“Little Jiu is in the process of healing. She said that anyone shouldn’t disturb her and told me to guard outside. So, you can’t go in now. Wait a while!” Guan Xilin told him and motioned him to sit down at the side of the table.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Mo Ze just paused for a moment, then came to the table and sat down. “My people said that the Pill Sun Sect’s sect master hired the assassins. Those who fled were disposed of by the Hell’s Palace’s people.”
“The Pill Sun Sect’s sect master? That old man?” Guan Xilin’s face sank and his face showed a murderous expression. “How vile! Little Jiu didn’t bother them. How dare that old man send people to assassinate her!”
“You know what happened to her mother some time ago?” Xuanyuan Mo Ze looked at him and asked.
Guan Xilin nodded. “Mm hmm. After I met Little Jiu here, she told me that she came here because she needed two kinds of medicine, one of which is still with the old man of Sky Mountain.”
