He was thinking about how to escape this place.

But as soon as they moved their feet, all the guards drew their swords.

They didn't really take these guards seriously, but they were afraid of revealing their martial arts techniques. If they were to fight in front of Lin Dayong again in the future, wouldn't that expose them?

Lin Dayong was furious when he saw them standing there motionless.

The sight of the luminous pearl that had been moved to the doorway, along with the jewelry placed next to it, only fueled his anger!

"You little thieves, you've actually dared to steal from my princess's residence!"

"What a bunch of arrogant fools."

"Who exactly sent you?"

Why are you afraid to admit your mistakes?

Lin Bai and Lin Mo didn't reply, they were thinking of a way to escape.

Meanwhile, the guards, carrying torches and long swords, quietly approached.

These two people looked rather thin, but they were the height of adults, and the fact that they were able to enter under the noses of so many guards suggested that they must have some martial arts skills.

If I act rashly, I'll lose my life here.

So these people planned to approach quietly first, then slowly surround the two people, and then take them down unexpectedly.

But Lin Dayong was furious. He couldn't stand these people moving so slowly. They were just two petty thieves, yet they made these people so timid and hesitant.

Enraged, he took out his own knife, lightly leaped down from the tall horse, and landed right in front of the two men, then slashed at them with his knife.

Lin Bai and Lin Mo quickly grabbed their knives to defend themselves.

However, their cloaks were really in the way, causing them to retreat steadily.

Seeing that their master was taking action himself, the guards dared not linger behind.

They could only rush in.

But just as they raised their knives, they felt something fluttering down from mid-air, and the smell of that thing was both peculiar and familiar.

Before they could even figure out what it was, they saw that the two thieves had suddenly turned into three.

This little thief is even more skilled than the previous two.

His lightness skill and speed were truly remarkable; he landed on the ground as if without making a sound.

Moreover, as soon as he landed on the ground, he sent his own general flying with a single slash.

The general earned his title through countless battles.

Unexpectedly, they were beaten back by this petty thief.

Lin Dayong hadn't expected that this little thief, who didn't look very tall, was actually incredibly strong, and every move he made was a killing blow.

It was as if they had some deep-seated hatred for him, wishing they could slit his throat on the spot.

But he also felt that this person did not really want to kill him, because every time he thought he was going to die, the thief would actually hold back his strength.

They just slashed at his arms, hit his back, and then stabbed him in the thigh.

It was as if they were toying with some small animal.

This is an utter disgrace.

After Lin Ru had had her fill of playing, she kicked Lin Dayong away, then kicked him twice in the face. She turned around, grabbed one of them in each hand, and quickly walked towards the back door.

Lin Dayong had never been so humiliated in his entire life.

Ignoring his injuries, he tried to stand up and chase after them.

Just as he managed to stand up, or when his men were about to follow, they discovered that all the guards beside him were lying on the ground, bleeding from their seven orifices!

He then noticed that there was some white powder on the ground where the guards were standing.

He later realized that the thief only wanted to play a trick on him, not to kill him. If he wanted him dead, he would probably have died on the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices, just like the guards.

It was as if this petty thief didn't want his life, yet also seemed to have a deep-seated grudge against him.

He simply couldn't think of who it could be.

Just then, he felt a blur before his eyes, and the little thief suddenly returned. Just when he thought he was about to die, the little thief unexpectedly headed straight for the huge luminous pearl!

I don't know what kind of sorcery was used, but the luminous pearl disappeared in an instant.

The petty thief vanished from his sight as quickly as the wind.

They didn't treat him like a human being at all.

The luminous pearl was something he had gone to great lengths to obtain. He discovered it in the Empress's bedroom on the day he stormed the palace, and then secretly took it away.

Even the king was unaware of the existence of this luminous pearl.

The reason he took out this luminous pearl was to amuse his princess Rou'er, to say that he had painstakingly had it dug out of the East Sea, and that he wanted to give it to her.

Now, not only is the luminous pearl gone, but this enormous princess's residence is also about to be engulfed in flames.

His chest heaved violently as he thought about everything he had experienced that day.

Wait... sorcery...

He suddenly thought of a possibility, and then he couldn't control himself anymore, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Just as he was about to faint, he realized that the sea of ​​fire was spreading in their direction.

They're about to be burned.

He quickly mobilized his limited internal energy and grasped the surging blood energy in his chest.

Using his last bit of strength, he climbed onto the princess's carriage, which then sped away.

When he finally reached the outside of the princess's residence, the entire residence was completely engulfed in flames.

"Your Highness, Prince Consort!"

"Your Highness, you've finally come out."

"The princess's residence was completely burned down."

"They were all burned."

Lin Dayong used the last of his strength to grab the shoulder of the butler next to him and asked, "What about those things in the warehouse? Were they salvaged?"

"Quickly, rescue everything from the warehouse."

"Or don't blame me for using you as a scapegoat?"

To everyone's surprise, the old steward suddenly knelt down, weeping bitterly as if his mother had died.

"Your Highness! Kill this old servant!"

"Everything in the warehouse is gone."

"Whether it's calligraphy and paintings, antiques, jade artifacts, or gold and silver jewelry, they're all gone."

Lin Dayong staggered back a few steps, his face full of disbelief.

"What did you say?"

"You're saying that all my paintings, calligraphy, antiques, jade, gold and silver jewelry, all my family's assets are gone."

"Some of those things couldn't even be burned by fire, so why are they all gone? Tell me, how could they all be gone? Why are they all gone? Where did they all go?"

"Why? Why? Why..."

"ah……"

Unable to bear the blow any longer, Lin Dayong shouted at the sky and then fainted.
