Chapter 1531: Chapter 1353: Stormy Night in Jianghu
“Yun Xiao? Why is it you?” Xia Dabao said.
She was certain the person who had just burst in was not him.
For some reason, she distinctly felt that upon seeing her, Yun Xiao seemed to relax his eyebrows slightly, but then quickly returned to his usual icy demeanor, “Not bad at all. Several people outside have fallen, yet you remain unscathed here. To the uninformed, one might think it was you who knocked them out.”
“Me, knock them out? Do you think I have nothing better to do after eating my fill? Clearly, they were no match for the culprit. What kind of subordinates are you leading, if they can’t even handle a single assassin!”
Yun Xiao did not speak.
Xia Dabao felt the people here were very strange and asked again, “So you didn’t come in because you discovered an assassin?”
Yun Xiao replied indifferently, “Of course not. I came purely because I had nothing better to do after eating my fill!”
“So you don’t care to check whether those people outside are dead or alive?” Xia Dabao pressed.
Only then did Yun Xiao go out, and Xia Dabao followed.
The people outside had been hit by a special type of dizziness poison, which Yun Xiao cured. They woke up in a daze.
Upon awakening, their first concern was naturally whether Xia Dabao was still there. When they saw Xia Dabao behind Yun Xiao, they breathed a sigh of relief and then knelt down to admit their fault: “We’re fortunate that Left Envoy Yun arrived just in time, otherwise, we dare not contemplate the consequences.”
Yun Xiao furrowed his brow and asked, “Who exactly drugged you?”
“We don’t know; we just felt a gust of wind, and then we were unconscious…”
“Useless!” Yun Xiao’s voice was not loud, but his tone was frightening.
The guards dared not say anything more and returned to their original positions to continue their watch.
Yun Xiao turned to Xia Dabao, “If you can sleep, go back to your room and continue sleeping. If you can’t, then stay outside to feed the mosquitoes.”
What an unpleasant thing to say.
“Didn’t you hear what your Clan Chief said? My blood is a rare sight in a hundred years, endowed with Dragon Clan lineage, prestigious indeed. What fortune do mosquitoes have to feast on such noble blood? Better if you all feed them,” she said, and with a ’bang,’ she closed the door to her room.
She extinguished the oil lamp and lay back down in bed, gazing at the blurred shadows outside the window. Although she was previously wide awake, she gradually fell asleep.
…
On a night dark and windy, a shadow moved stealthily through the Mountain Forest.
Although her martial arts skills were not strong, her lightness skills were quite impressive. She knew the Red Dawn Clan’s territory like the back of her hand; otherwise, she couldn’t have drugged Yun Xiao’s four subordinates in such a short time.
She was racing towards another village at breakneck speed.
Just as the village was nearly in sight, she suddenly stopped.
Should she really tell them this?
If the Moon Shadow Clan found out, she would become a traitor to the Red Dawn Clan.
But if she didn’t tell them, her sister…
She was having a dialogue with herself: “Hong Yan, oh Hong Yan, it’s not too late to turn back now.”
But did she even have a chance to turn back?
As she hesitated, suddenly two figures flew out in front of her, quickly surrounding Hong Yan: “Who goes there, prowling around the Moon Shadow Clan’s territory in the dead of night?”
Hong Yan knew she had no way out and straightened her back: “I am Hong Yan, with urgent news for your High Priest.”
…
In the Red Dawn Clan’s great hall.
The curtains in front of the Clan Chief were gradually lifted, and the masked Clan Chief vaguely appeared before Yun Xiao.
Even without seeing his face, just the aura of his silence conveyed a tension that felt like a storm about to break.
“So, last night, not only did you not lose track of Xiaobao’s parents, you almost allowed Xiaobao to be kidnapped?” the Clan Chief spoke in a very low and oppressive voice.
