The night breeze gently blew Lou Qianxue’s hair and clothes. In the blink of an eye, she reached a secret bamboo forest in the Prefectural Governor’s mansion like a phantom.
Deep within the bamboo forest.
A cold and dark voice suddenly rang. “Fourth Brother, how’s the progress in that matter?”
“Don’t worry, Big Brother,” Another voice proudly said. “We protected the ‘Dragon Blood jade’ 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 ‘Blood Dragon jade’ without anyone knowing it.”
“A bunch of fools! In this case, even if something happens to that person, they can’t blame us. Who asked them to steal this ‘Dragon Blood jade’? Ha ha ha ha!”
“You’re indeed smart to specially put on such a show. Otherwise, it would’ve been difficult to make them believe that the ‘Dragon Blood jade’ was real. It’s 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.”
“Lou Qianxue… She’s not a big deal. You only have to take note of that Heavenly Martial Realm expert. Win him over if possible.”
“Yes, Big Brother… However, Big Brother…” That person was about to talk more, but he suddenly heard the sound of rustling leaves in the bamboo forest.
“Who is it?” The faces of both of them drastically changed as they blasted toward the forest with murderous auras.
“… ” I’m really unlucky. My mood was already worse, and I unintentionally heard someone’s 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.
It’s so good that they don’t 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.
“Damn it, we’ve lost track of that person!” Under the moonlight, this fierce and furious person was the Prefectural Governor of Fengyang prefecture, Lou Jinglei.
“Big Brother, I was perhaps too wary. It’s just the wind. There’s nobody…” The other person was the famous Fourth Young Master in Fengyang prefecture, Lou Jingtao.
“No, when we were chasing, I felt changes in the intruder’s breath. Someone must have barged in! Dreadful, I wonder how much that person has heard us. We have to pull them out. Otherwise, we’ll be doomed!” Lou Jinglei was exasperated.
“Big Brother, don’t 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!” Lou Jingtao said with a frown.
“So why aren’t you looking for that person right now?”
“Big Brother, the life span of bees is extremely short. The bees I previously reared have died. If I want to nurture a new one, I’ll need about one month.”
“One month!” The face of Lou Jinglei, the Prefectural Governor of Fengyang prefecture, became distorted, and his cold voice became full of murderous intent.
“Make that person disappear forever after the bees find them one month later!”
“Yes, Big Brother.”
After a long time.
Lou Qianxue, who had been cultivating for a while, felt energized and comfortable. She opened her eyes.
“The people in the bamboo forest should have already left by now?”
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.
“Where have you been?”
A cold, ruthless voice unhappily asked.
