In a corner where no one noticed, You Xu leaned down slightly and whispered in Ah Li's ear, "Come with me when Murong Manor is gone."
At this moment, Rong Yu looked towards where the two of them were standing.
You Xu noticed that Rong Yu's gaze was fixed on him, and he exclaimed, "It seems we've been discovered."
He did it on purpose.
Ahri resisted the urge to roll her eyes. How could they not be noticed? The two of them were talking the whole time, and You Xu didn't even try to hide his aura.
You Xu walked away from Ah Li with an open and honest demeanor, still holding a feather fan in his hand. He said, "It's been a long time. The Regent still has the same charm as before."
Rong Yu lowered her eyes and said, "Didn't we just see each other not long ago?"
As Rong Yu spoke, she continued to look towards where Ah Li was hiding, "Aren't you coming out?"
Ali came out, and You Xu, holding a feather fan, stepped back to Ali's side and said, "What are you doing? Are you trying to kill me to silence me, just because we know about your shameful deeds?"
The shameful thing was that he was imprisoned by Murong Mingyue for more than half a year.
The people behind Rong Yu were all silent with fear. The reason for Rong Yu's imprisonment was that they had failed to protect him properly and had not been able to find him in time.
Following this, Rong Yu took advantage of the situation, wanting to know whether Murong Manor actually had a treasure map.
If this legendary treasure map truly exists, then for the imperial court, the martial world is about to descend into chaos.
This time, Murong Mingyue went too far.
She actually used a whip on him.
He managed to dodge it, but he didn't want to endure it any longer.
Therefore, Murong Mingyue was captured by his men, and she did not appear to have the high level of martial arts skills that were rumored to exist.
Too weak.
Rong Yu stood up, drew the sword from the waist of the person next to him, and walked directly towards Murong Mingyue.
At this moment, Ah Li stepped forward and called out, "Lord Rong Yu, may I make the move?"
Rong Yu glanced at Ah Li and said, "Okay."
As Rong Yu finished speaking, Murong Mingyue was released. She seemed to suddenly understand and shouted at Ah Li, "You! Murong Mingli, you are also a member of Murong Manor, but you colluded with outsiders to harm me!"
I'm going to kill you!
Murong Mingyue rushed towards Ah Li, whose eyes were lowered. This person was full of openings.
She wanted to die.
After this ordeal, Murong Manor was either destroyed or severely weakened.
Murong Mingyue knew that she had messed up because of her greed and lust.
She didn't have much time left, and she originally wanted to find a master to prolong her life, but now that wish is no longer possible.
The original owner was trained in murder and wouldn't hold back.
Therefore, when Murong Mingyue wanted to die, Ah Li granted her wish.
Before she died, Murong Mingyue stood face to face with Ah Li, and she silently said: "Sister, from now on, the Murong family will depend on you."
Ah Li indifferently withdrew her gaze and put away the dagger that had killed Murong Mingyue.
This dagger was given to her by Murong Mingyue at her coming-of-age ceremony.
Murong Mingyue closed her eyes and slowly collapsed.
At this moment, Rong Yu spoke up: "Withdraw."
The fire behind him continued to spread.
He didn't touch anyone else.
Before leaving, Rong Yu suddenly stopped beside Ah Li and said, "After being a shadow for so long, now that you can finally be a person openly and honestly, shouldn't you thank me?"
His eyes fell on Ahri without any change, as if he were just saying it casually.
Ahri said, "Thank you."
You Xu stood in front of Ah Li and said, "Even without you, I would still help Xiao Yingzi clear her name."
Rong Yu said, "So it seems I've been overthinking things."
The fire grew larger and larger, with waves of flame constantly crashing against them.
The group of them stood there talking, but none of them mentioned putting out the fire.
Everything Murong Mingyue possessed, including Murong Manor and the position of its master, is now gone. All that the original owner said before leaving seems to have only resulted in her taking Zhou Yichen.
Ahri wondered, "How did things turn out like this?"
The fire was finally extinguished by noon the next day.
White smoke occasionally drifted out from the charred wood, but the surrounding mountains and forests remained unaffected.
Because the firebreaks at Murong Manor are very well made.
Rong Yu also sent people to guard the surrounding area, including the original people from Murong Manor.
They formed a human wall, preventing the Martian from flying over.
Zhou Yichen also arrived, and he looked at Ali with concern.
At this moment, You Xu, carrying a small bundle on his back, walked up to Ali and said, "Come with me."
The people from Murong Manor were also carrying small bundles; as the fire spread, they managed to collect a considerable amount of belongings.
Ahri shook her head, "You go, I'm not leaving."
She didn't take off her mask, but Zhou Yichen held her hand.
Zhou Yichen said, "You still have me."
Ahri nodded. "I know."
The claim that a treasure map has been leaked from Murong Manor is just a rumor, but there is indeed a place in Murong Manor where the Murong family's wealth accumulated over many years is hidden.
Inside a large Buddha statue in the grotto, the statue itself is made of gold. However, it is covered with a thick layer of cement and painted on the outside.
Over time, the paint chipped off, making it quite unremarkable.
Therefore, Ahri will not leave; if she is to leave, she must first move the Buddha statue.
Seeing that Ah Li wasn't joking, You Xu said, "Then I won't leave either. You still have to take responsibility for me."
You Xu wasn't the only one who didn't leave.
And there's Rong Yu.
He had a bamboo hut built nearby and settled down there.
