"Yaoyao, it's so late, what are you doing here?"
After adjusting his mood and returning his face to a kind expression, Shui Ningye opened the door and asked Shui Yaoyao.
Shui Yaoyao hurried in, pulled Shui Ningye in a mysterious manner, and said, "Brother Ye, there's a spy from the enemy country sneaking into our City Lord's Mansion!"
"What?"
Shui Ningye's expression changed drastically, "What's going on?"
Shui Yaoyao said: "Someone just broke into my room, and then..."
Shui Yaoyao recounted the entire story that had just happened in her room.
Shui Ningye's pupils felt like they were being pricked by needles. He then chuckled dryly, pretending to be worried, and said, "Are you okay? Did that guy hurt you?"
"I'm fine, I just want to tell Brother Ye that you have to be careful."
"Well! You are my sister, how could your brother hurt you."
"But how do you know he's a spy from the enemy country?"
Shui Ningye asked, his eyes filled with unknown thoughts.
Shui Yaoyao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, he is that Gu Yuan, the one you hunted before..."
Shui Ningye's face gradually turned cold. It was him?
"Yaoyao, I'm sorry to bother you for the time being. Just stay in the City Lord's Mansion and don't go out. If something really happens to you, my father will kill me." Shui Ningye said with a helpless smile.
"Hehe, it's my father who is reluctant to let me go."
Shui Yaoyao stuck out her tongue. "I know, but when can we go back to the capital? There are only a few things here, and they're not interesting at all."
"Hahaha, it seems like you just can't stay here anymore, Yaoyao? Let's go back after a while."
"good!"
"Well. Then Yaoyao, you go back and rest first. It's late, and I need to rest too."
"Well, Brother Ye, I'll be leaving first."
Shui Ningye's expression was uncertain, and he said, "Uncle Ming, what do you think?"
Ming Xing walked out from the darkness with a puzzled look on his face.
"It's strange, is the defense of this City Lord's Mansion so poor? They were broken into time and again without even noticing. This City Lord Lin Mo is really not doing his job well."
"Okay, let's talk about this later."
Shui Ningye said with some annoyance: "The key now is who exactly is Gu Yuan? It seems that the person who broke in last time was also one of his men. Otherwise, how could he know our plan? Or is our plan already widely known?"
Shui Ningye looked at Ming Xing, his voice full of coldness. If he hadn't let that kid go, how could this happen today?
Ming Xing looked a little unnatural, knowing that Shui Ningye was blaming him.
"I didn't expect Gu Yuan to be so bold as to break into the City Lord's Mansion and tell the princess in person. Fortunately, the princess obviously didn't believe it. Otherwise, how could she have come back to tell Your Highness?"
Shui Ningye nodded, feeling a little better. He said, "But then again, even with Uncle Ming's Spirit Master-level cultivation, he couldn't even sense that kid's aura? I wonder if that kid's cultivation is too strong, or if Uncle Ming, you've failed in your duty?"
Ming Xing was terrified. Although he was a Spirit Master, he didn't dare to face Shui Ningye's questioning due to the difference in status. He said hurriedly, "Your Highness! This matter is my fault, but now is a critical moment. The people in the dark may make a move at any time, so..."
"Alright, alright."
Shui Ningye waved his hand impatiently, "I'm just saying that, but I still have to remind Uncle Ming that although you are my father's subordinate, we are all on the same boat at this moment. I don't want anything to go wrong, otherwise, we will all suffer."
Shui Ningye said lightly.
Ming Xing was startled and realized that Shui Ningye was trying to intimidate him.
"I understand that Ming Xing will definitely assist Your Highness in securing the position of Crown Prince."
Shui Ningye nodded with satisfaction. He liked people who knew what was going on, and Ming Xing happened to be such a person.
"Alright, that's it. Uncle Ming, please pay more attention to the situation outside and ensure the safety of Yaoyao and me. It's okay for me to get hurt, but Yaoyao must be safe!"
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Gu Yuan took off his nightgown and walked alone on the street.
But my heart and face were filled with disappointment.
"Hehe, kid, you're really interesting. You've worked so hard for so long, but in the end, no one believes you at all."
The golden-haired vulture squatted on Gu Yuan's shoulder and laughed.
"Senior Eagle, are you gloating over someone else's misfortune?"
Gu Yuan was speechless. He just didn't want Shui Yaoyao to be used as a victim of the power struggle. He didn't expect that she didn't believe him at all.
"But it's true. She and I are just strangers who have met once. It's understandable that she doesn't believe me. It's good enough that she didn't call for anyone to arrest me." Gu Yuan said with a wry smile.
"Tsk tsk, you're quite open-minded. Okay, stop dwelling on these trivial matters. Now you have to hurry up and practice. See if you can break through to the Spiritualist level before heading to Black Rock City. That way, you'll have some security."
The golden-haired vulture said calmly.
"Well, go back and rest first. Tomorrow we will go to the Black Demon Mountains for training. We won't leave until the day comes."
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, Gu Yuan left the restaurant in high spirits, and then went to the pawnshop which had not yet opened to find Mu San. After some instructions, he came to the Black Demon Mountains.
As soon as he arrived at the Black Demon Mountains, Gu Yuan saw a bustling crowd of mercenaries shouting and forming teams, which seemed extremely lively.
