Chapter 3389: Chapter 3389: Yang Tianxiu Is Not Easy to Deal With
"Come in."
He spoke towards the outside of the door.
In the next moment, Xiao Yi pushed the door open and entered.
Seeing him enter so nonchalantly, Yang Tianxiu frowned deeply.
"What happened outside?"
"Reporting to master, there was an intruder in the City Lord Residence, and most of our people have been poisoned."
Xiao Yi’s complexion was also very somber. He didn’t look around elsewhere; he had seen many of the night guards along the way collapsed, lifeless.
Upon hearing this, Yang Tianxiu’s expression turned even uglier.
Having anticipated it beforehand was one thing, but hearing it confirmed was another, and the anger in his heart couldn’t be suppressed. He really wanted to kill them all, leaving no one alive.
But frustratingly, they still hadn’t found the intruders’ whereabouts.
"How did you get in?" He looked up at Xiao Yi and asked.
"Reporting to master, upon hearing frequent poisonings in the city, I ordered people to collect many rare treasures. After relentless efforts, they managed to craft a set of Poison-Avoiding Clothes, originally intended to present to you today, but unexpectedly..."
Xiao Yi paused, looking earnestly at Yang Tianxiu.
"Unexpectedly, it was used before I could present it, which is my negligence."
Of course, this was just an excuse. The Treasure Clothes were naturally for himself, but now that it was exposed, he had no choice but to spin it positively.
"You have been thoughtful."
Yang Tianxiu glanced at Xiao Yi with satisfaction and said.
He knew he hadn’t misplaced his trust in this young man he took in and raised. Whenever there was something good, the first thought was of him, making him feel his judgment was spot on.
He felt proud inwardly, unaware that Xiao Yi’s heart was bleeding. Even if he were foolish, he wouldn’t give away such life-saving items, not even to his master.
After years of lurking by his master’s side, he understood Demonic Cultivation Techniques better than ordinary evil cultivators.
He knew what to do if Yang Tianxiu was gone.
The only reason he hadn’t acted was that he realized he still wasn’t strong enough to counter Yang Tianxiu.
Despite rumors outside that Yang Tianxiu was a coward fearing death with low cultivation levels, relying on others for protection, he knew very well that this man’s cultivation was very high, not someone he could kill easily.
Otherwise, he would have acted against Yang Tianxiu long ago.
He remembered clearly how the Xiao Family met its demise, all thanks to Yang Tianxiu.
"Master, the City Lord Residence is no longer safe. Please put on the clothes and leave first."
Subtly restraining the killing intent that inadvertently leaked out, he tried to offer the clothes to Yang Tianxiu, but was stopped by Yang Tianxiu.
"No need."
Just a poison-resistant garment wasn’t something Yang Tianxiu would value.
"Keep the clothes on. No matter how potent the poison, it won’t harm me in the slightest. You head to the Gathering Demon Hall and wait for me." He said.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi looked at him once and acknowledged, then turned and left.
Upon reaching outside, his gaze turned even grimmer. He knew Yang Tianxiu was not easy to handle. Even if he had Yang Tianxiu’s trust, he still didn’t know secrets he shouldn’t.
