In the forest not far away, an elder in brown robes and an elder in grey robes stayed hidden, waiting for the right time to take action. They did not expect to witness such an astonishing sight!
Their brains were ringing loudly as if they had just woken up from a dream. If the Kraken was shocking, then this paper crane was mind-blowing and otherworldly!
What kind of treasure was this? Even an item from the Immortals would not be as shocking.
Immortal treasure?
An Immortal treasure made of paper?
The elder in brown robes gasped. He said with a trembling voice, “Great…Great Guardian, what do we do now?”
The Great Guardian looked at him coldly. “Are you an idiot? Why are you even asking me this? Of course, we’re seizing this opportunity to make friends with them! Follow me to impress them!”
Qin Manyun and the rest were in the midst of discussing the most efficient way to destroy the Liu Family. Suddenly, they looked into the darkness as their eyes narrowed. They could see two elders in brown and grey robes walking out with friendly smiles on their faces. They said, “Greetings from the Great and Second Guardian of the Liu Family.”
Guardians of the Liu Family? Gu Changqing frowned as he wore a weird expression.
“That sight was astonishing! We rushed to the scene in hopes of helping but little did we expect to see such a jaw-dropping sight! It was truly astonishing!” the Great Guardian said in awe. He turned to Qin Manyun, “Your treasure was eye-opening for us. May I ask what it was?”
Qin Manyun said calmly, “It was given to me by an expert.”
“Oh? Expert?” The Great Guardian asked in shock and admiration. “You’re indeed very blessed to receive such a treasure by an expert. I’m so envious!”
Qin Manyun remained unperturbed. “May I know what brought you two here?”
The Great Guardian said, “To be honest with you, our young master was troubled by some gangsters here. We came all the way here to help him. We’d like to seek Lord Gu’s assistance if possible.”
“Oh?” Gu Changqing’s lips curved upward. “I happen to know about this. Your young master’s dead.”
“What?”
The Great and Second Guardians’ faces darkened. They growled with hatred in their eyes, “Please, tell us who did it!”
Gu Changqing smirked. “Oh, it happens to be the expert you were talking about earlier. What a coincidence, don’t you think?”
The Great and Second Guardians’ lips parted slightly. They could hear buzzing noise in their brains as they remained transfixed in their spot, unable to speak.
A cold chill washed over them from head to toe, making their scalp itchy. They were terrified!
What did Liu Rusheng do?
Was he a pig? He must have been a fool to have offended such an expert!
After a long time, the Great Guardian’s face changed. He tried his best to repress his terror and forced a smile on his face. “Indeed, what a coincidence! Sigh, it seems that I have to be honest with you. I was lying to you earlier. Please, don’t take it to heart. What I’m about to tell you is the real truth.”
He wore a look of sadness on his face as he said with hatred, “Liu Rusheng’s no longer our young master. A long time ago, he betrayed the Liu Family and was kicked out. Yet, he still used the family name to mess around in the outside world. What a disgraceful young man! We came here to capture him! I’m glad to hear that he’s now dead! Nicely done!”
The Second Guardian nodded hastily. “Exactly, this is the truth. If there’s nothing else, we’ll leave now. Goodbye for now.”
With that, the two of them turned and were ready to flee.
However, a fire dragon blocked their way instantly.
The two elders felt their hearts sink instantly. They said with terror and anger, “Senior Gu, what are you doing?”
Gu Changqing smiled. “I’ve to admit that the two of you came at the right time. I was still thinking of how to make up for my mistakes. Now that the two of you are here, let’s cut the trash talk and let me send you away!”
The fire engulfed them. Instantly, the two vanished.
“Let them be the interest I pay.” Gu Changqing let out a long sigh and turned to bow sincerely at the Immortal Guest House. He said with a sincere tone, “I’m truly ashamed of my ignorant behavior from earlier. I hope the expert could give me some time to make up for my mistakes.”
When the other three Elders learned about what their Lord had done, they scowled as all the color drained from their faces:
“Lord! Are you foolish? How could you do that?”
“How dare you reject instructions from the expert? Lord, we thought too highly of you!”
“Knowing what the Liu Family has done, they deserve this!”
“What’re we waiting for? Let’s waste no time and destroy the Liu Family right now!”
“Let’s go! Let’s go!”
…
The next day.
As the sky lightened up, Li Nianfan stood by the window, looking out with a smile on his face.
“It seems that the rain has stopped.”
Looking out from here, it seemed as if the whole world had been cleansed, looking refreshed and wonderful.
“Daji, what’d you like for breakfast? We don’t have much left.”
“Let’s keep it simple, then.” Daji looked at Li Nianfan and bit on her lip as she said sadly, “What a shame that I don’t know how to cook. I wish I could cook so that you don’t have to be troubled.”
Li Nianfan smiled. “It doesn’t matter. Don’t we have Xiao Bai at home?”
He could not help but sigh. “I kind of miss having Xiao Bai around! I miss him miss him miss him!”
The two of them ate a simple breakfast before they heard some gentle knocking coming from the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
“Is Mr. Li here?” Qin Manyun asked politely.
Click!
Li Nianfan opened the door. He exclaimed, “It’s you guys! Good morning!”
Qin Manyun, Luo Shiyu, and the Gu siblings were standing outside his door.
Qin Manyun said in a low voice, “Mr. Li, we’ve resolved the problem.”
She was still feeling uneasy. If it was still raining, she would not have had the courage to visit Li Nianfan.
Li Nianfan paused. Then, he let out a long sigh of relief. “Thank you so much.”
Qin Manyun felt slightly better. She said, “Mr. Li, they’re the children of the Lord of Azure Ville. If it wasn’t for them, it wouldn’t have been resolved so smoothly.”
Li Nianfan looked at the Gu siblings weirdly. Although he had guessed that they were important people, he did not expect them to be the children of the Lord of Azure Ville.
He got lucky! It was worth all his effort in preparing breakfast the other day!
“Thank you so much!” Li Nianfan looked at them with a friendly smile. “Have you eaten? Would you like to come and have a drink?”
“No…no thanks.” Gu Ziyao gulped and refused with difficulty.
They were sent here by their father to please the expert and to make up for his mistake. Even though the expert was polite, they did not dare eat his food for free again!
Who would believe them if they spoke of how they refused such an opportunity? One could only imagine how much willpower was needed to do so!
