Chapter 182 Declaration of Sovereignty
Just as Mo Xingjun was struggling internally, Xiao Zhixue's voice sounded again, firm and decisive: "We can't wait any longer. Every second we wait, Fang Weiyi will be in more danger. We must act immediately, find him, and give him the antidote."
Seeing that everyone had no intention of waiting, Mo Xingjun had no choice but to agree, but his eyes were always fixed on Xiao Zhixue, full of reluctance and worry.
Xiao Zhixue didn't seem to notice, or she had already disregarded her personal safety.
Fan Yanmu saw this and felt jealous.
He said coldly to Mo Xingjun: "Zhixue, I'm here, don't worry."
There was unquestionable confidence in his words, as well as a subtle hint of jealousy.
Mo Xingjun understood the implication, lowered his head silently and said no more.
The four of them no longer hesitated and moved swiftly towards the main hall of Xuanyu Hall.
The gate is heavily guarded, and it is obviously not a wise move to force your way in.
They chose a relatively secluded corner. Fan Yanmu lightly put his arms around Xiao Zhixue's waist. Under the cover of the night, the two of them used their lightness skills and leapt onto the top of the wall like two night cats. In a flash, they disappeared on the other side of the wall.
An Ying'er followed closely behind and also climbed up the wall using light skills.
Just as she was about to jump in, Fang Jiawen's slightly anxious voice came from below the wall: "Sister Guan, the wall is too high and I can't climb up. Please give me a hand."
Upon hearing this, An Ying'er turned around quickly and saw Fang Jiawen jumping hard at the corner of the wall, but he was still unable to climb up.
Without saying a word, she jumped down, grabbed Fang Jiawen by the collar, tapped her toes, and flew to the top of the wall with him.
Afterwards, the two of them quickly jumped into the courtyard of Xuanyu Hall.
The place was heavily guarded, with patrol officers constantly shuttling through every corner of the courtyard. The four had to quickly find a hiding place, intending to find the specific location where Fang Weiyi was imprisoned without alerting anyone.
Just as they were nervously searching, Jiuer's anxious voice suddenly echoed in the air: "Why am I back here again? The master is still waiting for me to save his life! Benefactor, please let me go out and help him!"
When Jiuer thought of her master's safety, she became so anxious that she kept chirping in the space.
Upon hearing the voice, Xiao Zhixue immediately released Jiuer from the space.
Jiuer found herself not in the familiar Yuhong Courtyard, but in a strange and spacious mansion.
It looked around and realized that this was not its old home. Just as it was about to ask, Xiao Zhixue had already given it a task in a soft voice: "Your master has been captured here by bad guys. Go and find him. Once you find his location, come back and tell me immediately. Don't act on your own. Do you understand?"
When Jiuer learned that her master was in trouble, she became extremely anxious and quickly nodded to show that she understood. She then flapped her wings and flew high to begin searching.
Since Jiuer has woken up and started to move, they decided to stay put for the time being.
After all, Jiuer is just an inconspicuous little tit that will not attract anyone's attention.
Xiao Zhixue said to Fan Yanmu and the other two, "Let's wait here first. Once Jiuer finds Fang Weiyi, she will come back and inform us."
Although Fang Jiawen was extremely anxious, he had no other choice but to wait patiently for news from Jiuer under the current circumstances.
Just then, a figure appeared outside the house not far away. The man's sneaky behavior caught Xiao Zhixue's attention.
This person was none other than Xiao You. He approached the door cautiously, looked around, and after making sure that no one was there, he reached out and knocked gently on the door.
The door was opened almost instantly, and the person inside pulled Xiao You in, then the door closed tightly.
Xiao Zhixue had sharp eyes and caught the figure of the woman in the house even in the dim light, but she was not Xiao You's wife, Chen.
Seeing that the two were behaving so secretively, Xiao Zhixue secretly guessed that they must be planning some unspeakable secret.
In order to find out the truth, Xiao Zhixue told Fan Yanmu and the other two to wait where they were, while she approached the room quietly.
After confirming that there were no traces of Xuan Yu Tang patrolmen around, she carefully poked a small hole in the window paper and peeked inside.
The flickering candlelight in the room cast an ambiguous picture.
Xiao You had a smug smile on his face as he hugged the woman and was about to kiss her lips.
The woman was half shy and half happy, half reluctant and half willing, but finally she let Xiao You kiss her passionately.
The kiss made her cheeks red. The woman gently patted Xiao You and said coquettishly, "You look as anxious as a hungry wolf. Aren't you afraid that the one at home will find out and break your legs?"
Xiao You chuckled and replied nonchalantly, "You are not afraid of the hall master knowing, so why should I be afraid? She has been appearing in front of me these past two days, causing me so much suffering that I am almost sick. Tonight, I must seize this opportunity and enjoy myself."
After saying that, Xiao You suddenly retracted his arms, hugged the woman's soft waist tightly, and strode towards the bed with firm and powerful steps.
The moonlight shines through the window lattice, sprinkling mottled light on the two of them, adding a hazy mystery to this unknown privacy.
The woman's cheeks were flushed, like a newly blossoming peach blossom. She shyly leaned into Xiao You's broad chest. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly under her drooping eyes. She whispered with a bit of helplessness and desire: "Ever since the news about the unfortunate daughter of the hall master spread like wildfire, he has never stepped into my door again. I really can't stand being alone in this lonely boudoir every night."
After she finished speaking, she tilted her head slightly, and her soft hair gently rubbed against Xiao You's arm, as if silently telling of her inner loneliness and expectation.
Xiao You was secretly proud of himself. The hall master was immersed in the grief of losing his daughter and couldn't extricate himself. This undoubtedly paved a smooth road for him, a perfect opportunity to do whatever he wanted.
In a blink of an eye, the two of them were at the bedside, their figures intertwined, all words turned into physical affection, and the air was filled with an indescribable atmosphere, which was a complex emotion of desire and taboo.
All of this was seen by Xiao Zhixue who was in the corner. There was a playful sneer on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes flashed with a gleam of insight into the fickleness of the world.
Who could have expected that Xiao You, who seemed so righteous on weekdays, was so indulgent in private and indulged in such dirty things.
If his wife Chen knew about this, it would probably cause a huge storm and Xiao You would be in big trouble.
Xiao Zhixue felt a sense of schadenfreude in her heart. She wished that Chen could suddenly appear at this moment and witness this scene with her own eyes, while she could hide in the dark and enjoy this farce woven by the betrayal of her relatives.
But just as the thought came to her mind, the sound of patrolling footsteps echoed in the corridor, forcing her to collect her thoughts and quickly return to where Fan Yanmu and the others were hiding.
Fan Yanmu was very worried, fearing that Xiao Zhixue might encounter an accident outside, but fortunately she was safe and did not fall into the hands of Xuan Yutang.
