The guard was shocked but he quickly acknowledged the order and went behind to bring the burning hot red brand iron, before he carefully handed it over to the Family Head.
“I want to see how strong you want!”
The head of the Xu Family said that in a cold voice as the brand iron in his hand was about to be pushed into Guan Xi Lin's body. The hot red iron stamp was still hissing with steam and even the guards could not continue watching.
“Hold!”
A domineering voice that was filled with power reached him, which caused the Xu Family Head who was just about to suppress the brand iron to suddenly hold his hand, turned around with a frown on his face to look at the person who had just entered.
The gray-robed old man entered. Detecting the strong smell of blood within the basement and looking at the already unconscious Guan Xi Lin, his brows furrowed together while his face darkened, darkening, looking extremely displeased as he looked at the Xu Family Head.
“This person is still useful to us. If you torture him to death and the girl does not come, who should this old man look for here?”
Hearing those words, Family Head Xu did not say anything but simply handed the brand iron to the guard at the side and said: “There is no need for Senior to worry about that. Poor girl is definitely coming!”
[If he didn't show up, even if he had to reverse Cloudy Moon City, he would definitely find him!]
Night arrived, and the Xu Mansion was lit with lanterns as bright as day. Many teams of guards crawled inside and outside the place, putting up an inescapable net, only to catch any prey that might have just appeared here tonight.
Hidden within the shadows to observe them all day just to wait for nightfall, Feng Jiu suddenly saw a familiar black figure. His brows furrowed and with a tinge of red, he shot towards the figure.
Leng Shuang had just jumped onto the wall at the main door when a hand suddenly closed over her shoulder, and the others covered her mouth as she was pulled into the shadows. He was just about to reply when a familiar voice said softly.
“This is me.”
At the same time he spoke, Feng Jiu let go of his hand, and stared with a frown at Leng Shuang who had turned around, before he said: “Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on things at Peach Blossom Ridge? Why are you here? instead?”
“Mistress?”
Leng Shuang's eyes sparkled as she replied: “I'm worried about you, so I came here.” Letting her Lady come to the rescue alone, she would not feel comfortable, therefore, after she told Leng Hua to take care of herself, she immediately came here following Feng Jiu.
He spoke in a soft tone: “If I don't stop you, you will mess up my plans tonight.”
After hearing that, Leng Shuang quickly lowered her head and replied: “Sorry, Madam.”
“Back now!”
Against those words, he quickly raised his head and shook his head loudly to say: “I will not return! I will help Madam save Young Master!”
“Log in there, you might actually get killed!”
Leng Shuang's gaze was determined as she looked at Feng Jiu and she said: “Nyawa Leng Shuang belongs to the Madam and even if I have to die for it, I will not let Madam take the risk herself!”
Feng Jiu stared at the young girl for a long time before he shifted his gaze. “Because you are not afraid to die, follow me!”
“Ya!” Leng Shuang's heart was delighted and her eyes twinkled.
Feng Jiu led him to quietly jump into the wall past the door behind. Hiding in the shadows, Feng Jiu immediately noticed that the area on the outer perimeter without patrolling guards had a boundary barrier, and if he wanted to enter, he had to pass through that barrier.
“There is a boundary barrier inside. Follow me very closely, you can't take a single step wrong.” As his voice fell, he jumped down and brought Leng Shuang to the boundary barrier.
Meanwhile, inside the Xu Mansion, inside the courtyard.
The Xu Family Head was sipping tea while asking in a slightly worried voice: “Senior, can that boundary barrier really trap someone inside? Could it be that he is actually already here but we don't know about it?”
“No going”
The old man shook his head and said confidently: “Against this old man's barrier, no one in the entire Sun Glory Country can break through. As long as he dares to come, we don't need to raise a finger and he will definitely be trapped inside the barrier, unable to escape!”
