However, watching the direction in which Sikong Mo left, Si Bei couldn’t help but feel his fondness for Ye Jiu decline slightly.
No matter how extraordinary that girl was, by involving their Prince, she was considered bad in Si Bei’s eyes.
Sikong Mo’s qinggong was very high, and his ability to hide was also good, so even though the Guard Office was chaotic at the moment, he still managed to stroll around the Guard Office right under everyone’s noses.
Unfortunately, it was impossible for him to find someone who had already left the place.
For some reason, Sikong Mo felt uneasy not finding that girl, even though he still hadn’t remembered her name.
In the darkness, Sikong Mo suddenly grabbed someone and continued to hide, but his fingers tightly clutched the person’s neck.
“Mercy… have mercy, my lord…” The butler’s voice shivered with fright and sounded particularly delicate in the night.
A surge of annoying scent wafted over, and Sikong Mo, with disgust, pushed the man away and drew his flexible sword, pointing it at the man’s throat.
“Speak, did you catch a girl?” Sikong Mo’s voice was cold and merciless, tinged with a bloodthirsty scent, like the Grim Reaper returning.
“What… what girl? I don’t know anything!” the butler said, completely baffled.
“The girl who came in with those dancing girls,” Sikong Mo said, his voice now carrying some irritation.
That feeling came back again, the blood in his body roiled, unable to control the urge to kill.
“The General and one of his deputies fainted, and the lord suspects that there is a spy among those dancing girls—he had all the dancing girls… killed!”
Just as the butler finished speaking, a fine line of blood appeared on his neck, and as the fresh blood flowed, the cut grew larger, eventually gushing out.
With wide eyes, the butler didn’t see how the long sword in Sikong Mo’s hands had slit his throat until he breathed his last.
Anger, frenzy, even the blood was boiling, craving to kill…
This feeling grew stronger and stronger.
In the night at the Guard Office, patrolling guards were silently slaughtered one after another, the bodies hidden in dark corners.
For some reason, the thought of that girl being killed in the same manner filled him with a destructive impulse.
Sikong Mo felt there was something seriously wrong with himself, but he couldn’t control it.
He always felt as if his heart had emptied!
As he reaped life after life, the blood in Sikong Mo’s eyes gradually faded, and without looking back, he left the Guard Office with the still-bloodied long sword in his hand.
Perhaps, he shouldn’t have involved her in this matter.
This wasn’t the only way to obtain the key, and yet he let her lose her life completely because of the momentary desire to tease her!
Sikong Mo walked openly on the street, the coldness emanating from his body making him resemble a bloodthirsty Asura!
In a dark alley not far from the city gate, Ye Jiu’s eyes lit up as she saw the black-clad rider speeding past. She pulled on Ying Luoxue beside her and asked, “Ying Luoxue, look quickly, isn’t that them passing by?”
Ying Luoxue also looked in the direction Ye Jiu was pointing. Even though it was a great distance, she recognized at a glance the only person in that group she had had contact with, “Yes, it is Guard Si Rong, it’s them.”
“They are leaving the city; we need to follow them quickly.” Ye Jiu said, pulling Ying Luoxue towards that direction.
