The guard's heart trembled when he heard this, but he still quickly answered yes, walked to the back, took the red-hot iron, and carefully handed it to the head of the family.
"I want to see how hard your bones are!"
The head of the Xu family spoke in a gloomy voice, and was about to brand Guan Xilin with the branding iron in his hand. The red-hot iron was still emitting a wisp of hot steam, and even the guards beside him did not dare to look.
"stop!"
A voice full of coercion was heard, forcing the head of the Xu family, who was about to brand the iron, to stop and look at the person who came with a slightly frowned brow.
The old man in gray walked in, smelled the bloody smell in the dungeon, and saw Guan Xilin who had fainted. He frowned, lowered his face, and stared at the head of the Xu family with an unhappy expression.
"This man is still useful. If you kill him, who will I turn to if that woman doesn't come?"
Hearing this, Patriarch Xu said nothing, but handed the branding iron to the guard beside him: "Senior, don't worry, that little girl will definitely come!"
Even if he doesn't come, he will find the person out even if he turns the entire Yunyue City upside down!
As night falls, the lights in Xu's mansion are still as bright as day. Teams of guards are patrolling inside and outside, setting up a dragnet just to catch the prey that might arrive tonight.
Fengjiu, who had been hiding in the dark and observing for a whole day just waiting for the night to fall, suddenly saw a familiar black figure. She frowned, and a red figure flashed and rushed towards that figure.
Leng Shuang was about to jump onto the gate of Xu's mansion when suddenly, a hand grabbed her shoulder and another hand covered her mouth and pulled her into the darkness. She was about to fight back when she heard a familiar voice coming in a low voice.
"It's me."
As she spoke, Feng Jiu loosened her hand and looked at her who turned around with a frown: "Didn't I ask you to look after Taohuawu? Why are you here?"
"master?"
Leng Shuang's eyes lit up: "I was worried about you, so I followed you." She was still a little worried about letting her rescue people by herself, so after telling Ahua to take care of himself, she followed.
“Nonsense!”
Her voice sank slightly: "If I hadn't stopped you, you would have ruined my plans tonight."
Hearing this, Leng Shuang couldn't help but lower her head: "I'm sorry, Master."
"Go back now!"
Hearing this, she suddenly raised her head and shook her head stubbornly: "I won't go back! I want to help the master save the young master!"
"If you go in, you might just die!"
She looked at her firmly: "Leng Shuang's life belongs to the master. Even if it means death, Leng Shuang cannot let the master take risks alone!"
Hearing this, Feng Jiu looked at her deeply for a long time before looking away: "Since you are not afraid of death, then follow me!"
"Yes!" She was delighted and her eyes lit up.
Fengjiu led her to quietly jump onto the wall behind the gate and hid in the dark. She could tell at a glance that there were formations set up in the areas outside the Xu Mansion where there were no patrol guards. If she wanted to enter, she had to pass through the formation.
"There is a formation inside. Follow me closely and don't take a wrong step." As soon as the voice fell, he jumped down and walked into the formation with Leng Shuang.
And inside the Xu Mansion, in a courtyard.
Patriarch Xu drank his tea and asked with some concern, "Senior, can that formation really trap someone? Will we not know she is coming?"
