Behind the guards, three men stood timidly in a row, two teenagers and one middle-aged man.
Gu Yuan walked directly to the middle-aged man, looked at him and said, "Your name is Xiao Yuan? Are you the Xiao family's housekeeper?"
The middle-aged man trembled, "I...I am!"
Xiao Wanlin on the side looked at Xiao Yuan with gloomy eyes, wondering what he had done to deserve being beaten up.
"Tell me, where is Mu San?"
Gu Yuan asked calmly, motioning the other two teenagers to step back.
"What...what Mu San? I...I don't know!" Xiao Yuan said tremblingly.
"Well!"
A punch was thrown towards Xiao Yuan's stomach, and Xiao Yuan let out a muffled groan. Although he was a seventh-level spiritual disciple, he was nothing in front of Gu Yuan.
Although this punch did not cause him any substantial damage, the feeling of being punched in the flesh was not very pleasant.
After throwing several punches in a row, Xiao Yuan was sweating profusely and curled up on the ground in pain.
Under the pressure from the sky above the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Yuan didn't dare to use his spiritual energy, for fear of being misunderstood and being killed.
"I'll give you one last chance. Where is Mu San? Who ordered you to do this? Was it him or someone else?"
Gu Yuan looked at Xiao Yuan, pointed at Xiao Wanlin and asked.
"It's not me! I never asked him to touch Mu San!"
Xiao Wanlin desperately tried to explain, then glared at Xiao Yuan viciously: "Xiao Yuan, you bastard! How dare you touch this young master's friend? You are so audacious! You deserve to die!"
"It's none of my business, sir! It's..."
"Shut up!"
Xiao Wanlin was startled, as if he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly interrupted him: "Sir, this was all done by Xiao Yuan himself, and has nothing to do with our Xiao family! Please kill this man directly and eliminate this scourge for our Xiao family!"
Gu Yuan sneered in his heart and watched Xiao Wanlin's performance quietly.
"Are you done? If you're done, then shut up!" Gu Yuan said coldly.
"Tell me! Who ordered you to do this?"
When he asked again, Gu Yuan's eyes were already filled with murderous intent.
Xiao Yuan's face was filled with fear. After he told Xiao Wanlin, he would definitely not let him go. But if he didn't tell him, he would die! He gritted his teeth and said, "It was Young Clan Leader Xiao Ming. He learned that Mu San had the Fire Qi Pill and wanted to know the ultimate source of the pill, so he attacked him."
Xiao Wanlin, who was slumped on the ground, looked as pale as death. He had just guessed that it was Xiao Ming, but he didn't expect it was really him!
"Ming'er, how could you be so confused! This is bringing disaster to my Xiao family!"
Gu Yuan thought to himself, "As expected." He had heard that the young patriarch of the Xiao family was young and promising, and had already started managing the Xiao family's medicine industry at such a young age. Now that he had put the medicine on the market through Mu San, it was no wonder that he was targeted.
One hand lifted Xiao Yuan, Gu Yuan's face turned grim, "Where is Mu San now?"
Xiao Yuan's face was pale, and the powerful pressure made him a little breathless. "In... in the backyard!"
"You and Senior Eagle, please stay here and watch him for me. I'll be back soon!"
After instructing Wang Zhong and the others, Gu Yuan grabbed Xiao Xueyan, then Xiao Yuan, and sternly shouted, "Take me there! If anything happens to Mu San, I'll kill you all!"
In the backyard of the Xiao family, in front of the woodshed, two guards with the strength of level five spiritual disciples were guarding the door.
One of the guards said to another, "Hey, Mr. Liu, what happened in the hall? Why has Butler Xiao been gone for so long and still hasn't returned?"
"Hey, isn't this the character of these people? Maybe they are enjoying themselves again and have no time to care about us." Another guard said with some dissatisfaction.
"No! Why do I feel a little uneasy, as if something is about to happen."
"Stop talking nonsense! Our Xiao family is a well-known and prestigious family in Beastmaster City. What could possibly happen..."
Before he could finish his words, the guard stopped talking abruptly, and then they heard the door to the backyard being kicked open, and a young man walked in carrying a middle-aged man.
"Who are you? You dare to break into the Xiao residence? Are you trying to kill yourself?" The guard grabbed the knife in his hand and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by a voice, "Stop!"
The guard took a defensive stance and looked at the man in confusion. The voice seemed familiar.
Throwing Xiao Yuan to the ground, Gu Yuan said calmly, "Open the door."
Xiao Yuan hurriedly got up and yelled at the guards in panic, "Get out of here!"
When the guard saw that the person on the ground was Xiao Yuan, he retreated in a hurry.
Taking out the key from his waist, Xiao Yuan trembled and opened the door of the woodshed, "This... this young master, Mu San is... right inside."
"Look at him!"
After giving Xiao Xueyan some instructions, Gu Yuan walked into the woodshed alone.
A musty smell hit me in the face, and a skinny figure was lying in the firewood pile in the corner.
Gu Yuan hurried over and after confirming that it was Mu San, he slowly helped him up.
"Mu San, Mu San, it's me, Gu Yuan!"
Gu Yuan called Mu San softly, his face gloomy to the extreme. He never expected that in less than a month, Mu San had changed from a high-spirited mercenary captain to this state.
Mu San slowly opened his eyes, somewhat unable to believe them. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and his voice was weak as if he was about to die, "Brother Gu, is that you?"
"It's me! Brother Mu, thank you for your hard work!"
Feeling Mu San's empty spiritual vein, Gu Yuan's face was full of apology. He didn't expect this to happen.
"Ahem...it's all my fault...I was too careless and fell into that bastard's trap. It's a pity that I, Mu San, have become a useless person!"
