"Hmm! But, with such a big incident at Yanyu Tower, will there still be someone outside to help us? If not, where should we look for them? We need to think these things through carefully, otherwise we'll be completely lost once we get out."

"Hey! Someone will come to meet us! Didn't Godfather say that problems can happen anywhere, but not here! Our safety is our top priority. No matter when, as long as we want to get out, we just need to give the signal, and no matter how far away, someone will come to meet us! Stop saying 'but,' let's go!"

Luo Xiaoniang was dragged out by Su Mingyue. She was worried that making too much noise would attract other people, so she asked Su Mingyue to let go of her hand and walk by herself.

She held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that she had always been able to leave the mansion so smoothly in the past, and that no one had noticed her for so long, so this time would probably be the same.

Although I don't know how Yanyu Tower is doing, I'm still willing to trust Geng Yuepeng, because he did say that no matter what happens, he would put the mother and daughter first and make sure they have everything arranged so they wouldn't have any worries!

However, she still felt uneasy, as if something was about to happen tonight!

Of course, that's not a good thing, it's a bad thing!

She couldn't guess what would happen. The most she could think of was being discovered leaving the manor without permission, being stopped, and being severely punished. However, she didn't feel uneasy about that.

Suddenly, a bad feeling welled up inside her. She became scared and didn't really want to go out anymore, so she slowed down.

"Young lady! Hurry up! Stop looking, there's no one here! Only we would come here, no one else would! It's too remote, and it's kind of creepy! Let's go! Don't dawdle! We're already here, once we get over the wall, we can get out!"

Su Mingyue's words were chilling, but once she did, Luo Xiaoniang couldn't help but shiver and tremble. She was even more frightened. Su Mingyue urged her on, and she didn't know whether to leave or not!

Su Mingyue didn't notice anything unusual at all. She just assumed that her mistress was being too cautious and afraid of being discovered by the people in the manor.

It's understandable that being caught will result in punishment.

Isn't it normal to go out at night, acting suspiciously?

It's not surprising that they were afraid and worried since they weren't going out openly in the first place.

In addition, Su Mingyue was in a hurry to leave, so she didn't pay much attention or think too much about it.

They've traveled this road countless times without any problems, which means it's well-hidden and there's not much to worry about.

But what Luo Xiaoniang was worried about was not what happened inside the manor, but what happened outside the manor.

She was a little resistant and didn't want to go out. She could sense that something bad was waiting for them outside!

It was as terrifying as a flood or a ferocious beast; I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but my gut feeling told me it wasn't a good thing!

Inside the walls, she could feel a little safer, but once she stepped outside, everything was out of her control.

"Young lady! Hurry up! I've already given the signal, someone will be here to meet us soon. Come on up! Some of these ruins are loose, be careful!"

Su Mingyue urged again.

Luo Xiaoniang was struggling internally. She didn't want to go out, but given the current situation, it seemed she had no choice but to go out!

Finally, I gritted my teeth and decided to just go for it!

I just hope that if something happens, Geng Yuepeng can come and rescue them quickly!

Sure enough, someone came to meet them very quickly, took them out, and they arrived safely at the place they usually went.

"The host is unable to appear before you at the moment, and you need not ask any more questions, as he will not answer anyway! If you wish to go anywhere, I can arrange for someone to protect you!"

The person who came to meet them said in a cold tone.

Luo Xiaoniang and her daughter were already used to it; this was just how these people talked, and it had nothing to do with their attitude.

They're assassins, so it's normal for them to be cold and ruthless; you can't expect them to be all smiles.

Luo Xiaoniang wanted to ask about Geng Yuepeng, but she was stopped before she could even open her mouth and couldn't ask any more questions!

She was furious. She came out specifically to ask about this, but they wouldn't let her ask. What was the point of her coming out then?

“We just wanted to see Apeng, but since he's not available, then forget it! But could you tell me how he is? I heard rumors that Yanyu Tower is failing and that he seems to be injured. I'm so worried about him that I can't eat or sleep! Can't I just find out if he's alright? Is that not enough?”

Luo Xiaoniang looked heartbroken and covered her face, about to cry. If it were any other man, he might have felt sorry for her.

But the person in front of her was a veteran assassin, expressionless, who only coldly replied, "The host is fine, no need to worry!"

There wasn't a single word of comfort offered.

The next step was to ask the mother and daughter again where they wanted to go.

Su Mingyue was somewhat unwilling to accept that she hadn't heard any specific news about Geng Yuepeng, but she didn't dare to talk to him because she couldn't stand the icy atmosphere around her.

But she was unwilling to let them go so easily.

They've come all this way, they have to get something out of it; they've never gone home empty-handed!

"The rumors outside are not to be believed! They are deliberately spread by someone to target our Misty Rain Pavilion. Just listen to them and don't take them seriously! Misty Rain Pavilion and its leader are doing very well now, not like what they say! That's all I can say, I can't say any more."

No matter how much you ask, you won't get any more information. That person is very tight-lipped; he's mute when it matters and won't reveal a single word.

Luo Xiaoniang had no choice but to give up and stop asking. She knew that it was the rule, and she wouldn't do it if she hadn't received an order.

Asking further will only yield the same answer, so it's pointless.

But now that I'm out, I don't really want to go back like this. I can't sleep anyway, and it's a rare opportunity to get out. I don't know when I'll be able to get out again!

I might as well go out for a walk. I haven't been out for a while and I'm really feeling restless.

The man arranged for others to follow and protect them, and they only walked along the paths they usually passed by, not daring to go too far.

"Little sister! What should we do? We can't see our godfather anymore, and we don't know the details! I have a feeling something terrible is about to happen!"

"Keep your voice down! There are people following behind! Don't gossip! What could possibly happen? If something does happen, they're capable enough to handle it! We can't help in any way, so let's not make things worse. Just trust them!"

Luo Xiaoniang kept giving Su Mingyue meaningful glances, signaling her not to speak carelessly. Their words might be relayed back word for word, and if anything inappropriate was said or done, it might be misinterpreted if it reached Geng Yuepeng's ears.

Su Mingyue bit her lip; she understood, and stopped talking.

What's there to see in this pitch-black weather?

Luo Xiaoniang was also in no mood for anything; she thought that with someone protecting her, nothing would happen.

"Ah! A ghost! There's a ghost!"
