“Erhu, where are you?”

Dahu looked around the garden but could not find Erhu. He gave up on the game and began to call out to his brother seriously.

“I admit defeat. Erhu, come out.”

Dahu was a very vigilant baby.

His brother’s safety was above the outcome of the game.

“Erhu, did you hear that? I admit defeat. I’ll still look for you in the next round.

Come out first.”

No matter how Dahu shouted, Erhu did not come out to respond.

Ling Yun walked over.

Dahu grabbed his hand and said, “Master, Erhu is gone.”

Ling Yun frowned and looked around.

He had never been to the City Lord Manor and was not familiar with the terrain.

However, since there were no guards stopping them, it meant that this garden was accessible for children to play. There should be no danger.

For example, the forbidden area in the east corner was strictly guarded by guards. Just as the two children ran to the door, they were stopped by the

guards and asked to play elsewhere.

Dahu said worriedly, “Master, Erhu is very timid. He will be afraid on his own.”

Although the three little ones were all bold when they were together, Erhu was the most insecure of the three little ones once they were separated.

“Yeah.”

Ling Yun responded to Dahu and sized up his surroundings carefully again.

There was nothing special about this small garden. No one could hide behind the flowers. There were a few loquat trees, but they were not tall. The leaves were not lush.

No matter how he looked at it, Erhu wouldn’t be here.

However, Erhu had clearly run over just now.

He couldn’t have just disappeared into thin air.

Ling Yun passed through the small garden. This seemed to be a corner of the City Lord Manor, surrounded by high courtyard walls.

Could it be that Erhu had climbed over the wall and left? Dahu sniffed. “It smells so good! There are fruits! Erhu likes fruits the most!” At this moment, Ling Yun vaguely heard Erhu’s voice.

Erhu was halfway up the tree when a hand suddenly grabbed his ankle. He trembled in fear.

He turned around and saw a thin man with disheveled hair.

This was a person who would scare any child to tears, but the three little ones were extremely tolerant of appearances.

Erhu was not frightened. He asked curiously, “Great-grandpa, why are you grabbing my feet?”

The other party had white hair and was about the same age as Qin Canglan, the Old Marquis, and Elder Qiu, so Erhu politely called him Great-grandpa.

The other party said nothing.

Erhu thought for a moment and asked, “Do you want to eat fruits too? I’ll pluck them for you.”

The other party still didn’t say anything or let go.

Erhu sighed. “If you keep holding onto me like this, I won’t be able to pluck them for you.”

The other party used some strength and pulled Erhu down.

Erhu cried out and fell from the tree.

When the Saintess rushed to the orchard, she happened to see this scene.

Without a word, she took out the white silk and rolled Erhu over from the soft grass, gently placing him behind her.

Then, she took out her nine-section whip and lashed it at the man in the wheelchair.

Just as the whip was about to land on the man’s head, a tall figure descended from the sky and stood in front of the man, grabbing the Saintess’ nine-section whip!

There were blade blades on the whip.

However, the man was wearing protective gear and was not afraid of the whip blade.

The Saintess sensed a familiar aura from the other party.

She seemed… to have met her kind.

The two of them fought fiercely.

The Saintess lashed her whip extremely quickly and fiercely.

The other party took a few whips, but his attacks were not inferior. The Saintess took a few slaps from him.

The scorching internal energy burned the Saintess’ meridians like flames, flowed into her diaphragm, and invaded her internal organs.

At this moment, Su MO and Jing Yi arrived.

“Protect Erhu.”Thê sourc𝗲 of this conte/nt n/o/v/(𝒆l)bi((n))

After Su MO finished instructing, he drew his sword and rushed towards the secret guard.

He quickly sensed that something was wrong.

“Puppet?”

The man in front of them was the same as the Saintess. They were both puppets with powerful martial arts!

Just as Su MO was about to continue testing the other party, Manager Chang and Ling Yin came over.

The banquet was about to start, but the children were still not back. The Palace Lord asked Ling Yin to look for them.

Ling Yin was not familiar with the City Lord Manor, so Xiahou Qing asked Manager Chang to accompany her.

The two of them met Ling Yun and Dahu in the garden.

Dahu said that his brother was inside.

Steward Chang immediately brought Ling Yin through the main door into the orchard.

When Manager Chang saw the fight, he hurriedly shouted, “Stop fighting! Stop fighting! We’re on the same side!”

The man in the wheelchair blew the bone whistle.

The puppet secret guard retracted his attack and returned to his side.

Su MO also put away his sword and stopped the Saintess’s attack.

Ling Yin ran towards Jing Yi and Erhu. “Are you alright?”

Erhu was held in Jing Yi’s arms and shook his head. “Sister Ling Yin, Erhu is fine.”

Ling Yin heaved a sigh of relief.

Steward Chang cupped his hands and bowed to the man in the wheelchair. He said respectfully, “Grandpa, we’ve frightened you. They’re guests today. Please forgive them for entering your orchard by mistake.”

The man in the wheelchair did not say anything and pushed the wheelchair away.

Steward Chang was used to it. He turned to Su MO and the Saintess and said, “Are the two of you injured?”

Su MO glanced at the Saintess and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked Manager Chang, “You called him Grandfather just now. Is he the father of the

City Lord?”

Steward Chang smiled and said, “Ah, no, our eldest grandpa has already died of illness. This is second grandpa, the biological uncle of the City Lord.”

Su MO asked, “Isn’t he going to the banquet?”

Steward Chang smiled and explained, “Grandpa doesn’t like crowded occasions. It’s getting late and the banquet is about to start. Let’s go to Mingxia Hall.”

He was clearly unwilling to talk too much about this Second Granduncle, so Su MO could not get to the bottom of it.

The group left the orchard and arrived at Ming Xia Hall.

The guests were already in position.

The people from the Fire Slaughter Sect also came.

However, their sect’s status was not high and was assigned to the side hall.

However, there were many of them. They sat at more than ten tables at once, making the other sects dumbfounded. Who the hell brought the entire sect to eat?

Did they have any shame?

The Hundred Flowers Palace, the Assassin Alliance, the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion, the Heavenly Jade Hall, and the Lotus Sect were arranged to be in the main hall.

In comparison, the Hundred Flowers Palace had the most people.

However, this was not strange, because the little daughter of the Hundred Flowers Palace had a share in today’s full-month banquet.

“Dahu, Xiaohu!”

Xiaohu, who had been separated from his brothers for a long time, hugged them affectionately.

The Palace Lord carried Xiaobao and checked her two grandchildren from head to toe. After confirming that they were fine, she was relieved. She reminded Ling Yun, “Don’t take the children so far next time.”

Ling Yun actually didn’t retort. “Got it.”

There was definitely something wrong with this abnormality. The Palace Lord asked strangely, “Did something happen?”

Jing Yi told her what had happened in the orchard.

Su MO said, “That person is a puppet. The Saintess has fought with him more.” Su Xiaoxiao looked at the Saintess. “You don’t look right. Are you injured?”

“Alright.”

The Saintess finished speaking word by word and reached out to Wei Xu.

Wei Xu understood and grabbed her wrist. He used his internal strength to probe and his expression instantly changed.

This burning aura was identical to the one in Wei Qing’s body!

The Saintess deliberately took a few slaps from the other party and brought the burning aura back for Wei Xu to examine..
