The old Nascent Soul shot a glance at the two and shoved Leng Shuang to the side . "Get out of the way . " As he spoke, the figure swept past her in a flash toward the room . A few shrill screams were heard from inside the room, then silence reigned inside the whole courtyard once again .
"Big Sister!"
Gray Wolf brought Leng Hua over to the place . When Leng Hua saw his sister in tattered clothes inside, he gasped in surprise . He then took off his coat quickly and put it on her . "Sister, what happened to you?"
Gray Wolf inspected her closely, but it was only the lapel of her dress that was torn and the cut on her arm was bleeding . He sighed in relief . Fortunately, she was alright . It's a big hassle if something serious happened .

"It's nothing . " Leng Shuang shook her head . Seeing his worried face, she added, "It's only a light splinter wound . "
Leng Hua quickly staunched the bleeding and dressed her wound . "Sister, when you're missing, Master and I have been worried sick . She had both Hell's Lord's and the Black Market's people investigate your whereabouts . We also combed through many places to search for you . Thank goodness you're okay . "
Those words warmed Leng Shuang's heart . When she was about to speak, a red figure swept in . She called out at once, "Master . "
Feng Jiu looked her up and down and then nodded . "It's good that you're alright . " She directed her gaze toward the room .

When the old man in grey came out, his eyes fell on Feng Jiu . After a slight pause, he nodded and said, "No one's left alive . "
Feng Jiu glanced at the old man then told Leng Shuang and Leng Hua, "Let's go back! Gray Wolf, burn the courtyard . "
"Yes . "
They assented and followed her to leave the place . The old man leapt up and vanished into the night . The flame shot through the courtyard and burned everything up . The fire illuminated the midnight sky and startled all the forces in Three Rivers City .

The Lin clan .
"Why is there a large fire on the west side of the city? Do you know what happened?" The Lin clan's head inquired all the people under him .
"That courtyard is the residence of the Zhong clan's son from the first wife . His behaviour is somewhat preposterous . The room is specially used to hide women . I believe he offended someone who then set fire to the building . The perpetrator is still unknown and there is no survivor left . " Lin Cheng Zhi told everyone what he had learned .
"That Zhong clan's son has not acted that way for a year or two . Three Rivers City's residents have not dealt with him . Perhaps, only outsiders dare to act without scruple . " Lin Bo Heng motioned, "It's none of our business . Don't pay any attention and just take care of our clan . "
"Yes," The subordinates answered .
"That's all . Let's talk about a serious matter . " Lin Bo Heng looked at his sons . "Your Aunt's marriage is finally decided . Although the engagement ceremony has not yet been carried out, each one of you should be ready after returning back . Give her generous gifts . "
"Father, we all know how to do this . You, the older one, don't have to worry about it . " Lin Cheng Zhi said with a smile and looked at his brothers .
"Yes, Father, you can rest assured about that! We'll be well prepared . " The second son smiled . They were genuinely happy that their aunt was going to get married .
Lin Bo Heng nodded with satisfaction . "Mm, since you know already, I won't ramble . I want to personally send San Yuan back a few days later . The eldest will be in charge of the Lin clan . "
