So, despite being extremely anxious, Xiao Yu suppressed her emotions and tried her best to be polite.

"What's so interesting about the old man's jade pendant? Your excuse is so lame. Why are you suddenly interested in seeing the patriarch's jade pendant out of the blue? Don't you have some other motive?"

Xue Feihu's face was expressionless, his gaze cold as he looked at Xiao Yu and Wu Lei, his tone tinged with doubt and disdain as he spoke coldly.

He crossed his arms over his chest, his tall frame like an impenetrable wall, completely blocking the entrance to the abode and leaving no gap for the two of them to enter.

Upon hearing this, Wu Lei became even more anxious, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

He didn't even bother wiping it off, and quickly stepped forward, saying urgently, "Uncle Feihu, please don't misunderstand! It's like this, my grandfather, father, and Uncle Zhenyu went to the Fang family to arrest Fang Han. But just now, my mother and I discovered that my father's and Uncle Zhenyu's jade pendants were shattered!"

His voice trembled slightly with tension and fear, and his eyes were filled with helplessness and anxiety. "I'm really worried that something might have happened to them. But thinking about it carefully, with my grandfather, a powerful figure, present in Yanming City, how could anyone easily have hurt my father and my Uncle Zhenyu? So, my mother and I guessed that perhaps these two jade pendants were too old and malfunctioned on their own, naturally breaking apart. That's why we thought of coming to see my grandfather's jade pendant to find out what really happened."

"This is possible?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Feihu's originally cold face showed a hint of surprise, and he slowly said, "But this jade tablet was personally crafted by the ancestor, using rare materials that are hard to find even in ten thousand years. It has always been indestructible, so it shouldn't have shattered naturally."

Upon hearing Xue Feihu's words, Xiao Yu and Wu Lei were overwhelmed by a surging tide of fear.

At this moment, the last glimmer of hope in their hearts gradually shattered with Xue Feihu's words.

"Flying Tiger, I'm begging you, sister-in-law."

Xiao Yu suppressed her grief and fear, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.

She took a step forward, tightly grasped Xue Feihu's hand, her eyes filled with pleading, "Please let us in to take a look! If something really happened to the old man and my husband, the Wu family will face annihilation! We must find out the situation as soon as possible so we can take action, otherwise it will be too late!"

"Okay, I'll go in with you."

Xue Feihu finally realized the seriousness of the problem and nodded.

Soon, Xiao Yu, Wu Lei, and Xue Feihu entered the elegant residence of Wu Haomiao, the head of the Wu family, and found the jade tablet.

The jade pendant had already turned to dust.

My master is dead?

Xue Feihu could hardly believe his eyes.

"Feihu, something really happened to the Wu family. You and I will escort Wu Lei to the Qingxuan Sect immediately."

Xiao Yu is truly a decisive woman; she acted swiftly and prepared to escape.
