Dahu looked around the garden but couldn't find Erhu, so he gave up the game and started calling his younger brother seriously.

"I give up, Erhu, come out."

Dahu is a very alert baby.

My brother's safety takes precedence over winning or losing the game.

"Erhu, did you hear that? I admit defeat. I'll find you in the next round. You come out first."

No matter how Dahu called, Erhu did not come out to respond to him.

Ling Yun walked over.

Da Hu grabbed his hand and said, "Master, Er Hu is missing."

Ling Yun frowned and looked around.

He had never been to the City Lord's Mansion and was not familiar with the terrain of the City Lord's Mansion.

But since no guards stopped them, it meant that this garden was a place for children to play and there should be no danger.

For example, the forbidden area in the east corner was strictly guarded by guards. As soon as the two children ran to the door, they were stopped by the guards and asked to go play somewhere else.

Da Hu said worriedly: "Master, Er Hu is very timid. He will be scared if he is alone."

Even though the three little ones seem very brave when they are together, once they are separated, Erhu is the least secure one among them.

"Um."

Ling Yun responded to Da Hu and once again looked around carefully.

There is nothing special about this small garden. No one can hide behind the flowers. There are a few loquat trees, but they are not tall and their branches and leaves are not lush.

No matter how you look at it, Erhu won't be here.

But Erhu was clearly running towards this side just now.

He couldn't just disappear into thin air.

Ling Yun walked through the small garden. This seemed to be a corner of the City Lord's Mansion, surrounded by high walls.

Could it be that Erhu climbed over the wall and escaped?

Da Hu sniffed and said, "What a nice smell! There are fruits! Er Hu loves to eat fruits the most!"

At this moment, Ling Yun faintly heard Erhu's voice.

When Erhu was halfway up the tree, a hand suddenly grabbed his ankle and he trembled with fear.

Looking back, I saw a thin man with disheveled hair.

This is a person who would scare any child to tears upon seeing him, but the three little ones are very tolerant of his appearance.

Erhu was not frightened, and asked curiously: "Grandpa, why are you grabbing my feet?"

The other person had gray hair and was about the same age as Qin Canglan, the old marquis, and Old Qiu, so Erhu politely called him great-grandfather.

The other party didn't speak.

Erhu thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to eat fruit too? I'll pick some for you."

The other party still didn't say anything and didn't let go.

Erhu sighed, "If you keep holding me like this, I won't be able to take it off for you."

The other party used a little force and pulled Erhu down.

Erhu screamed and fell from the tree.

When the saint rushed to the orchard, she happened to see this scene.

Without saying a word, she took out the white silk, rolled Erhu over from the soft grass, and gently placed him behind her.

Immediately, she pulled out a nine-section whip and hit the man in the wheelchair.

Just as the whip was about to fall on the man’s head, a tall figure dropped from the sky, stood in front of the man, and grabbed the saint’s nine-section whip!

The whip has blades on it.

However, the man wore protective gear on his hands and was not afraid of the whip.

The saint felt a familiar aura from the other person.

It seems... I met someone of the same kind.

The two men fought fiercely.

The saint swung her whip extremely quickly and attacked fiercely.

The opponent was hit by several whips, but his attack was no less powerful and the saint was hit by several palms.

The burning internal force burned the saint's tendons and veins like a raging flame, flowing into her dantian and invading her internal organs.

At this time, Su Mo and Jing Yi also arrived.

"Protect Erhu."

He soon noticed something was wrong.

"puppet?"

The man in front of him was just like the Saint, a puppet with great martial arts skills! Just as Su Mo was about to continue testing the other party's kung fu, Manager Chang and Ling Yin came over.

The banquet was about to start, but the children had not returned yet, so the Palace Master asked Lingyin to go look for them.

Lingyin was not familiar with the City Lord's Mansion, so Xiahou Qing asked Manager Chang to accompany her.

They met Lingyun and Dahu in the garden.

Dahu said his younger brother was inside.

Manager Chang immediately took Lingyin through the main gate and entered the orchard.

When Manager Chang saw the fight, he quickly shouted, "Stop it! Stop it! We are on the same side!"

The man in the wheelchair blew a bone whistle.

The puppet secret guard retracted his move and returned to his side.

Su Mo also put away his sword and blocked the saint's attack.

Lingyin ran towards Jingyi and Erhu: "Are you okay?"

Erhu was held in Jingyi's arms and shook his head: "Sister Lingyin, Erhu is fine."

Lingyin breathed a sigh of relief.

Manager Chang bowed to the man in the wheelchair and said respectfully, "Master, I'm sorry to have frightened you. They are today's guests and entered your orchard by mistake. Please forgive me."

The man in the wheelchair didn't say anything and pushed his wheelchair away.

Manager Chang was used to it, so he turned to Su Mo and the Saint and asked, "Are you two okay?"

Su Mo glanced at the Saint Girl and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked Manager Chang, "You just called him Grandpa. Is he the City Lord's father?"

Manager Chang smiled and said, "Ah, no, our eldest grandfather has passed away. This is the second grandfather, the city lord's uncle."

Su Mo asked, "Grandpa is not going to the banquet?"

Manager Chang smiled and explained, "The master doesn't like crowded occasions. It's getting late, and the feast is about to start. Let's go to Mingxia Palace."

He seemed unwilling to talk too much about the Second Master, and Su Mo didn't want to ask him about it.

The group left the orchard and came to Mingxia Palace.

The guests were already seated.

The brothers from the Huosha Sect also came.

It’s just that their sect’s status is not high, so they were assigned to a side hall.

But they had a lot of people, with more than a dozen tables occupied at once, leaving other sects stunned.

Who the hell brings the entire sect to a banquet?

Do you still have some shame? The ten major sects, including Baihua Palace, Killer Alliance, Qianji Pavilion, Tianyu Hall, and Lotus Sect, were arranged in the main hall.

In comparison, the largest number of people came from Baihua Palace.

But this is not surprising, because the little daughter of Baihua Palace already had a share in today's full moon banquet.

Ling Yun, Su Mo, Jing Yi brought the two little tigers and the saint girl back to the table.

"Big axe, second axe!"

Xiaohu, who had been separated from his brothers for a long time, hugged his brothers affectionately.

The Palace Master held Xiaobao in his arms and checked his two little grandchildren from head to toe. He was relieved only after making sure that they were all fine.

She warned Ling Yun: "Don't take the child so far next time."

Ling Yun didn't even talk back: "Got it."

Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary. The palace master asked curiously, "Did something happen?"

Jing Yi told what happened in the orchard.

Su Mo said: "That man is a puppet. The Saint has fought with him more often."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the Saint: "You look strange, are you hurt?"

"fine."

The saint spoke word by word and extended her hand towards Wei Xu.

Wei Xu understood, pinched her wrist, and probed with his internal force, his expression changed instantly.

This burning energy was exactly the same as the one in Wei Qing's body! The Saint Girl deliberately took a few palm strikes from the other party and brought the burning energy back to Wei Xu for identification.
