The night breeze gently blew Lou Qianxueâs hair and clothes. In the blink of an eye, she reached a secret bamboo forest in the Prefectural Governorâs mansion like a phantom.
Deep within the bamboo forest.
A cold and dark voice suddenly rang. âFourth Brother, howâs the progress in that matter?â
âDonât worry, Big Brother,â Another voice proudly said. âWe protected the âDragon Blood jadeâ so carefully at the official route earlier that the traitors in the troop almost believed it. They were very anxious, and they took action today. They think that they have taken away the âBlood Dragon jadeâ without anyone knowing it.â
âA bunch of fools! In this case, even if something happens to that person, they canât blame us. Who asked them to steal this âDragon Blood jadeâ? Ha ha ha ha!â
âYouâre indeed smart to specially put on such a show. Otherwise, it wouldâve been difficult to make them believe that the âDragon Blood jadeâ was real. Itâs just that this show was really dangerous. We nearly died on the official route last night. Fortunately, Lou Qianxue and the others appeared on time.â
âLou Qianxue... Sheâs not a big deal. You only have to take note of that Heavenly Martial Realm expert. Win him over if possible.â
âYes, Big Brother... However, Big Brother...â That person was about to talk more, but he suddenly heard the sound of rustling leaves in the bamboo forest.
âWho is it?â The faces of both of them drastically changed as they blasted toward the forest with murderous auras.
â... â Iâm really unlucky. My mood was already worse, and I unintentionally heard someoneâs secret.
Lou Qianxue sped for a while before chanting in her heart. She then directly entered Mountain River Space.
In the space, the magical tree with the shiny green light freely swayed, and the little beast was carefree as it slept. The silent Mountain River Boundary Marker was calm and quiet.
Lou Qianxue could not help herself from feeling envious.
Itâs so good that they donât have any worries.
She shook her head, sat cross-legged, and closed her eyes. She gradually calmed her feelings and started to cultivate.
In the bamboo forest.
âDamn it, weâve lost track of that person!â Under the moonlight, this fierce and furious person was the Prefectural Governor of Fengyang prefecture, Lou Jinglei.
âBig Brother, I was perhaps too wary. Itâs just the wind. Thereâs nobody...â The other person was the famous Fourth Young Master in Fengyang prefecture, Lou Jingtao.
âNo, when we were chasing, I felt changes in the intruderâs breath. Someone must have barged in! Dreadful, I wonder how much that person has heard us. We have to pull them out. Otherwise, weâll be doomed!â Lou Jinglei was exasperated.
âBig Brother, donât worry. When I came here at night, I had scattered the ecstasy powder. If someone had really come here, the bees would definitely find them!â Lou Jingtao said with a frown.
âSo why arenât you looking for that person right now?â
âBig Brother, the life span of bees is extremely short. The bees I previously reared have died. If I want to nurture a new one, Iâll need about one month.â
âOne month!â The face of Lou Jinglei, the Prefectural Governor of Fengyang prefecture, became distorted, and his cold voice became full of murderous intent.
âMake that person disappear forever after the bees find them one month later!â
âYes, Big Brother.â
After a long time.
Lou Qianxue, who had been cultivating for a while, felt energized and comfortable. She opened her eyes.
âThe people in the bamboo forest should have already left by now?â
Lou Qianxue came out from the Mountain River Space and realized that it was still late at night
She swiftly flew back to her residence.
However...
Just when she pushed the door open, a strong force gripped her wrists and pressed them behind the door.
At the next moment.
âWhere have you been?â
A cold, ruthless voice unhappily asked.
