He protected Jiang Xianyue with one hand and used the other hand to hold up a knife to sweep away the dead bodies that surrounded him.
Jiang Xianyue looked up and saw Xiao Zechuan's pale face. Her heart was shocked, "...Why?"
Xiao Zechuan frowned, looked down at her, and his tone remained calm.
"Not a partner?"
Jiang Xianyue stared at him for several seconds, then she reached out and pushed Xiao Zechuan away a little, took a deep breath and said, "Yes."
Xiao Zechuan: "Why are you standing there and not leaving?"
Jiang Xianyue: "Because I want to take this sword."
"..." Xiao Zechuan said expressionlessly, "So it was me who interrupted your plan."
Jiang Xianyue: "I didn't say it."
Xiao Zechuan said frankly: "Well, it's your fault."
Jiang Xianyue looked up at him and said, "I will tell you everything from now on."
Xiao Zechuan raised his hand and touched her head, then said calmly, "Okay."
Jiang Xianyue was slightly stunned. She seemed to hear the sound of something being shattered. Maybe... maybe, she should trust them more, maybe she needed to express more.
At this time, Wen Yuchu felt a little relieved after seeing that they were not dead.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong.
However, we can’t play around anymore, we have to get serious.
Otherwise, their Shura team would all die here.
How's the situation with the captain?
It's inexplicable and makes people a little worried.
…
Lu Mansion.
Lu Jingcheng appeared outside the secret room in a flash.
The Ninth and Tenth Elders, who were guarding outside the secret room, were startled the moment they saw Lu Jingcheng appear. They quickly saluted and said, "Master."
Lu Jingcheng's gaze fell on the direction of the secret room for a moment, and then he asked, "Did you see anyone suspicious?"
"Report to the master, no." The two elders answered respectfully.
"Strengthen the guards," Lu Jingcheng said coldly, "If you spot anyone suspicious, report it to me immediately."
"Yes, Patriarch!"
Lu Jingcheng raised his head and looked at the chaotic scene in the sky, his brows slightly furrowed, and his eyes revealed a hint of impatience and irritation.
These invaders have not been eliminated yet!
He thought to himself and felt a little disappointed with those who were responsible for guarding the Lu family.
But if he personally takes action to deal with these invaders now, bad news will spread.
People outside might say that the Lu family's guards are only so-so, unable to deal with even a few minor intruders, and ultimately requiring the clan leader to personally intervene. Can such a Lu family truly be considered the premier family in the Changming Realm?
Thinking of this, Lu Jingcheng frowned even deeper.
Lu Jingcheng's gaze slowly stopped at the secret room.
The cause of all this is because of Helian Huai.
According to his investigation, Helian Huai had no background or backing at all.
His father was just a casual cultivator, and a weak and incompetent one with a damaged foundation, who was completely vulnerable.
So, who exactly wants to save Helian Huai?
Helian Huai's sister?
impossible.
Helian Huai's sister was just a small disciple of the Qiankun Sect and could not cause any trouble at all.
Just as Lu Jingcheng was about to step into the secret room, he noticed someone coming. He turned around and saw that the person was Helian Sang.
Lu Jingcheng was slightly surprised and called out.
"lady."
When Helian Sang saw Lu Jingcheng, she was also surprised. She walked over steadily and called softly, "Husband."
Lu Jingcheng looked at her gently, "Why are you here?"
Helian Sang glanced around the secret room with an uncertain expression upon hearing this. She reached out and gently tugged at Lu Jingcheng's sleeve, "Husband, do you know the identities of these intruders? And what is their purpose? Are they here to save him?"
Lu Jingcheng reached out and gently patted the back of Helian Sang's hand, saying, "Madam, don't worry. Our Lu family is well guarded, and something like what happened to the Helian family before will never happen again. Their hopes will be shattered."
"My dear husband, I feel relieved with your promise." Helian Sang looked at him tenderly and bit her lip slightly: "Our Chao'er still needs him."
"I know."
Helian Sang thought of something, lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a tone that could not hide his loneliness: "Husband, do you think I am a heartless person?"
Lu Jingcheng held her shoulders and said soothingly, "Everything that happened in the past was because you were deceived. Therefore, you are innocent. If you are ruthless, wouldn't I be even more ruthless?"
When Helian Sang heard this, he slowly reached out, hugged Lu Jingcheng's waist, and leaned in his arms with emotion.
"Husband, I'm afraid. I'm afraid that one day you will leave me."
Lu Jingcheng held her in his arms, gently stroked her head, and chuckled, "Madam, don't be afraid. No one can stop us from being together."
Helian Sang felt a sweet feeling in his heart.
She was so glad that she chose Lu Jingcheng, a man who was a hundred times stronger than Shen Tianhao.
Following Helian Sang were the Sixth Elder and the Seventh Elder.
When the four elders saw the affectionate scene between their patriarch and mistress, they looked at each other quietly and felt a little embarrassed.
Soon, Lu Jingcheng let go of Helian Sang.
He said, "Madam, this place is dangerous. Please go back to Sangyuan first."
"Husband..."
Lu Jingcheng's brows were solemn as he said, "Madam, be obedient. Chao'er and Ling'er are not at home now. If anything happens to you, how can I explain it to them?"
After hearing this, Helian Sang nodded in agreement.
