Xiao Wenbai and Liu Shu were guarding the gate of the courtyard. When Chu Moqing passed by on her way from her teacher's house, she was taken aback when she saw them.
He approached Xiao Wenbai and asked in a low voice, "Why are you standing at the entrance of Old Master Xi's house? What happened?"
Xiao Wenbai was also taken aback when he saw Chu Moqing: "Captain Chu? What are you doing here?"
Chu Moqing frowned: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Wenbai whispered, "Don't you know your wife is being bullied by your stepmother's family?"
Chu Moqing's face immediately darkened, and the next moment his figure disappeared from the spot.
Liu Shu looked at Xiao Wenbai: "I didn't realize you were so gossipy."
Xiao Wenbo chuckled: "It's not that I'm being nosy, but Miss Ye specifically instructed me that Captain Chu would be passing through here, and then asked me to tell him about the Chu family. It's a pity he left before he could say a few more words."
Liu Shu gave a thumbs up, her face full of admiration: "Miss Ye is truly a genius."
More and more people gathered around, but without exception, no one dared to step forward or speak; they all stood quietly on the periphery, watching.
Standing before them were fully armed soldiers.
The people living in this area are not ordinary people. They see things much further than ordinary people. They know that there is always a reason for everything. They observe for a period of time before making a conclusion, even if that person is Master Xi.
In the courtyard of the old man.
Old Master Xi collapsed to the ground in a sorry state. He knew he would have a hard time escaping this time, and that this might very well be the first life-or-death ordeal of his life.
In order to have a chance to turn things around in the future, and in order to wait for his master to come and save him, he decided that he could no longer provoke the person in front of him.
Her Highness is determined to punish him this time, and he will inevitably suffer physical pain. However, if he doesn't know his place and continues to oppose her, it might be more than just physical pain.
He slumped to the ground, unable to move. His magic was sealed, and he was now worse off than an ordinary old man, only able to watch helplessly as His Highness searched through his shady possessions in front of him.
When Ye Ling arrived at the main hall of the Xi family home, she saw that the group of people were still staring at her warily. She casually waved her hand, and all of them were sent flying backward, crashing in front of a group of soldiers.
When Xiao Wenbai and Zhang Tianwei saw the men in black being thrown to the ground, they quickly calmed themselves down, pretending not to see anything.
These people are incredibly audacious to dare challenge Miss Ye; they're lucky they're still alive.
Those onlookers, upon witnessing this scene, all changed their expressions, becoming even more grateful that they hadn't spoken out of turn.
These people are all top-notch bodyguards of Master Xi; they kill without leaving a trace and are extremely powerful.
But now it's been thrown out, which shows how terrifying the people inside are.
Most importantly, Major Xiao and his men stood at the door, preventing anyone from approaching, which was enough to prove that something had happened to Elder Xi.
As for what happened, they'll wait for the results.
On the other side.
Ye Jingyan and Hongyun were still playing chess, but their pieces barely moved.
Ye Jingyan looked up toward the capital, put down his chess piece, and said, "Let's pause the game. Ling'er is tidying up. I think as her lovers, we should go and be with her at this time."
Hongyun, holding the white chess piece in his hand, scoffed upon hearing this: "You think of her as the ignorant Ye Ling from before? She is now the Hongling Immortal Emperor; she doesn't need anyone to accompany her for such a small matter."
Believe it or not, if the two of us went over there now, she wouldn't be happy; she'd be unhappy with us. Because our actions would be seen as a lack of approval and trust, making her feel like we're questioning her abilities. Continue.
