The next day, Leng Yue and Qian Chen decided to send them to headquarters.

Because of the urgency, Leng Yue no longer concealed her intentions. The four of them all flew on their swords. They were very fast, arriving at the Blood Hunter headquarters in just one hour.

The Blood Hunter headquarters was heavily guarded, unlike their dilapidated little wooden clubhouse; the headquarters was a manor.

"Have you been here before?" Leng Yue and Lily chatted as they waited at the manor gate.

Lily shook her head and whispered to Leng Yue, "Headquarters isn't a place we can just come to whenever we want. This is my first time here, and I didn't even know it was a manor."

"Do you think they'll let us in?" They had been waiting outside for a long time; the guards only said to go in and report, but the door remained closed. Leng Yue looked inside, growing anxious.

"Probably? The club being taken over by vampires is a very serious matter, isn't it? They should take it seriously, right?" Lily clearly wasn't very confident and could only guess in the best-case scenario.

"I hope so," Leng Yue was clearly less optimistic than Lily. Perhaps it was just her imagination, but Leng Yue felt that such a grand manor, heavily guarded, seemed out of touch with reality. Would such a master really accept them so easily?

Just then, a small door on one side of the manor's main gate opened, and a guard came out. "Hello, please come in."

Lily laughed, "It's cold, but they really let us in."

Leng Yue nodded blankly, thinking to herself that she had been judging others by her own petty standards.

The manor was very large, so they were led in by a guide. "Good afternoon, everyone. Please follow me."

The person leading the way was dressed in a tuxedo and white gloves, looking like a butler. Leng Yue was somewhat surprised; it seemed the Blood Hunter headquarters and the vampire castle weren't so different after all.

"The master lives here and is taking a nap now, so please don't disturb him. Oh, please wait here; the master will get up in fifteen minutes." After the butler finished speaking, he left, leaving the group of people sitting on the stools staring at each other.

"Are you sure you haven't come to the wrong place?" Leng Yue became increasingly suspicious. This place didn't look like the Blood Hunter headquarters at all.

After Leng Yue's words, Lily also began to have doubts. She turned to look at Andrew and asked, "Are you sure?"

Seeing the two girls' suspicious looks, Andrew also began to doubt himself, saying somewhat hesitantly, "That...should...be right! Haha...haha..."

After Andrew finished speaking, he looked at Qianchen and asked, "Qian, you should be right, right?"

Then, instead of two people looking at Andrew, three people were looking at Qianchen. Qianchen coughed lightly, wondering if he was sure about the outcome.

However, while he thought this in his heart, he couldn't actually say it aloud. The morale of the troops was already low; if he said he didn't know, these people would probably leave immediately.

"Ahem, there's no mistake." Qianchen coughed lightly, then said confidently, "First, we found our way here using a map, so the chances of the map being wrong are slim. Second, when we asked the guard, he didn't seem surprised. If we had gone to the wrong place, the guard would either have been very surprised or would have refused us and told us to leave. But he went to report it, didn't he? So, there's no mistake."

As Qianchen spoke, looking at the sun outside, she said, "Didn't the butler say that their master was about to wake up? Since we're already inside, let's just wait a little longer."

"Darling, you're really amazing!" Leng Yue said, looking at Qian Chen with admiration, but her eyes were full of teasing.

Qian Chen glared at Leng Yue, but the smile on his lips was all too obvious.

Andrew and Lily looked at Qianchen with admiration, constantly echoing, "Yes, yes, Qianchen is really amazing!"

Qian Chen coughed, looking at the others with a helpless expression, "Alright everyone, let's stop with the mutual flattery..."

As they were talking, the butler came in again. "Gentlemen, the master is waiting for you in the living room. Please move to the next room."

After the butler finished speaking, he bowed and waited for them. Qianchen then led the group to their feet and followed the butler towards the living room. Upon reaching the living room door, the butler led them inside, then said to someone behind a screen that they had arrived before leaving.

After the butler left, a neatly dressed middle-aged man emerged from behind the screen.

Unlike the blood hunters they had imagined, this man was very refined. He wore ancient noble attire, and every move he made exuded the air of a long-established aristocrat.

"Please sit down. I am Edward, the president of the Blood Hunter Association. I heard you came to see me on urgent business?" Edward's tone was very pleasant, and he sounded more and more like an old nobleman.

"Hello Mr. Edward, my name is Qian Chen, this is my wife Leng Yue, and these are my partners Andrew and Lily. We've come to see you about club matters." Qian Chen led the group to sit opposite Edward, nodded slightly, and explained their purpose.

"Hello, please don't be shy, have some tea and snacks." Edward gestured to the tea and snacks on the table, indicating that they were welcome. He then picked up his cup and began to sip.

"They say guests should follow the host's lead, so we'll respectfully comply." Qianchen glanced at the other three, then picked up his teacup and took a sip. "It's very good black tea."

Qianchen's praise brought a smile to Edward's face. "Qian, you like black tea too?"

Qianchen nodded, "I like it very much, but I rarely drink it."

"What do you think about the club?" Qian Chen didn't want to waste any more time with Edward, so when he hesitated to bring it up, she asked again, "What's going on with those vampires? Has the peace between our two sides been completely broken?"

“Qian, you’re in too much of a hurry.” Edward put down his cup. “I already know about this. I need to discuss it with the ten elders. You should all go back now.”

Because of Qianchen's urging, Edward directly asked them to leave. Andrew and Lily became anxious, "Mr. Edward, our club has been taken over by the vampires, and we are homeless. Could you please provide us with a place to stay at headquarters?"

“Oh, poor children.” Edward sighed as he looked at Andrew and Lily, paused for a moment, then turned and called for the butler.

The butler came in, and Edward told him to arrange for Andrew and Lily to stay, and then give each of them a job to do.

"Sir and Madam, please follow me." The butler responded and then led Andrew and Lily away.

Andrew and Lily looked at Qianchen and Lengyue with difficulty, then at the butler, "Qian, Leng, what are you going to do?"

Leng Yue shook her head. "Don't worry about us." But the butler was like a wooden statue, as if he hadn't seen Andrew and Lily's eyes at all.

As for Edward, he savored his tea attentively, gazing at the perfect sunlight outside.

Qianchen and the others seemed to live in two different worlds from Edward, completely unrelated to each other.

"Go ahead, we're fine." Qianchen shook his head. It was obvious that their master didn't welcome them, so why bother making a fool of themselves?

After Andrew and Lily were taken away, Qianchen and Lengyue didn't linger and left as well. Watching their retreating figures, Edward's lips curled into a strange smile.
