Chapter 630: Escape from Xiao Mansion
Chapter 630 Escape from Xiao Mansion
Ye Qingyan looked down and found that he had only changed his clothes, and his shoes were his original shoes, which were naturally different from the guards here. Ye Qingyan felt a little tricky, but he still thought of a solution and hurriedly said, "Grand Elder, the young one is more comfortable wearing his shoes at night. I will put the guard's shoes in the room."
Xiao Changlong did not believe him so much, because Xiao Changlong suddenly thought that Ye Qingyan might not have come by himself, and that he might have sent someone to find out the news. This kid came to the owner's door in the middle of the night, so he had to make him suspicious.
"Come on, go back with him to see if he is the guard of the Xiao family. If not, arrest him on the spot." Xiao Changlong ordered.
Immediately, several guards surrounded Ye Qingyan, and they all drew their swords toward each other. Ye Qingyan knew that it might be a bit difficult to not be exposed today, but he didn't want to take action here. Once he took action, Xiao Zihong might appear, and Ye Qingyan had to obey their orders.
"Let's go, take us to your place where you live." Several guards took Ye Qingyan to the place where the guard lived, and the chief guard also followed behind. Ye Qingyan had no choice but to walk forward. Fortunately, Xiao Changlong did not follow. He probably felt that these people were there, especially the chief guard, and he didn't need to go at all, because even the assassin could not be Ye Qingyan.
Ye Qingyan took them to the place where he stole clothes. Of course he wouldn't go in, so he stood outside and said to the guards, "I'll live here."
The chief guard immediately shouted, "Call out the people inside and let them recognize people well, are they the people here?"
Several guards entered the room and wanted to call the low-level guards to recognize them. Of course Ye Qingyan would not wait. He suddenly smiled at the head guard opposite and said, "You don't have to look at it. I'm not a person here, so I'll say goodbye."
As soon as the guard chief heard Ye Qingyan say this, he immediately knew that Ye Qingyan was an assassin. He shouted loudly: "Where can you go?" After that, he rushed towards Ye Qingyan. The guard chief was also very powerful. He had reached the half-step saint level. If it were in the previous few months, Ye Qingyan might not be his opponent, but now, Ye Qingyan didn't even take Xiao Changlong seriously, so he naturally didn't take anything to him.
The chief guard rushed up and slashed, but at this time Ye Qingyan had already flew dozens of meters away. No matter how powerful his sword technique was, he could not cut Ye Qingyan dozens of meters away. When Ye Qingyan saw that he was chasing his spirit skills, he did not dare to fight. He was not afraid of this guy. What he was afraid of was Xiao Changlong and Xiao Zihong. If Xiao Changlong chased him, he would definitely hold him back. When Xiao Zihong came, he would not be able to escape.
Ye Qingyan flew out of the Xiao Mansion as fast as possible and soon disappeared in the night. As soon as he left, Xiao Changlong rushed over, but by the time he came, Ye Qingyan had already run away without a trace.
The chief guard was also amazed at Ye Qingyan's speed. He couldn't even see the shadow. After chasing thousands of meters, he could not find the direction at all. He could only return on the spot. He happened to meet Xiao Changlong who was coming. Xiao Changlong immediately asked, "What's going on? What about that kid?"
The chief guard had to say truthfully: "He ran away from that kid, and he was incompetent and could not catch him."
Xiao Changlong was also shocked when he heard this. He hurriedly asked, "Is his strength very strong, surpassing you?"
The head guard shook his head again and said, "I don't know this, but his speed is indeed very fast. I can't catch up with him. Because I haven't fought with him yet, I don't know how strong he has."
This is also one of the reasons why Ye Qingyan didn't fight back. He did not reveal his strength, so it would be difficult for Xiao Changlong to guess that it was himself. Even if he doubted it, it was just suspicion.
Xiao Changlong did suspect that he was Ye Qingyan, but he was a little puzzled. How could he not recognize Ye Qingyan? It only takes a few months and his strength would not be able to be improved to this level. But if it weren't for Ye Qingyan, who else would have such speed that even the chief guard could not catch up.
No matter what, now Ye Qingyan has escaped and he can't find him, so Xiao Changlong had to give up, but he immediately reminded the chief guards: "From now on, all the guards in the Xiao Mansion must be confirmed and be more vigilant."
The head of the guard quickly said yes. Xiao Changlong rushed back to Xiao Mansion, thinking whether to tell the master this matter. If he told the master, it might affect the master's itinerary, but he finally felt that he should tell the master, because it might be related to Xiao Chen's fate.
Xiao Changlong hurriedly walked into Xiao Zihong's residence. At this time, Xiao Zihong was practicing. After Xiao Changlong came to the secret room, he did not dare to make a sound. He stood by and waited all the time. Xiao Zihong also knew that he was coming. After a while, he took back his martial arts and then said slowly: "A voice came from outside just now. Was something happened?"
In fact, Xiao Zihong heard the conversation between Xiao Changlong and Ye Qingyan clearly, but Xiao Zihong didn't think much about it, thinking that Xiao Changlong could handle it well. However, later he felt that an abnormal spiritual power fluctuation occurred in the Xiao Mansion, and he knew that something must have happened.
The spiritual power fluctuations that Xiao Zihong felt were exactly the spiritual power fluctuations released by Ye Qingyan when he left the Xiao family. Xiao Zihong was at the Holy Realm level and could naturally detect them.
Xiao Changlong hurriedly said, "Master, we just found a suspicious person sneaking into Xiao's mansion, but he still ran away."
Xiao Zihong opened his eyes. Although his eyes were very bright, one could see that he had not returned to his strongest state after careful look. The last time he fought with Wang Tianci, he had not healed until now. It can be seen how powerful Wang Tianci is.
Xiao Zihong was also slightly surprised and said, "Didn't you even catch him? Could it be that kid is back?"
Xiao Changlong hurriedly said, "Master, from the perspective of my subordinates, he should not be that kid, because he can see his clothes when he is still in the lower house. However, this person's strength is not weak, especially his speed, even the chief guard can't catch up with him. When I go, I can no longer see his figure."
"Even the commander of the guard can't chase him, so his flying skills are already very strong, and his strength in other aspects will naturally not be worse. It's probably that kid is back." Xiao Zihong suddenly said with certainty.
Xiao Changlong still disbelief and said, "Master, that kid's strength cannot be improved to this level. Even if he can break through a small realm in such a short time, he can still see his disguise. It should not be him."
Xiao Zihong sneered, "You are still too underestimating this kid. You know that he has only improved a small realm during this period. If it weren't for him, who would have such a courage to come to my Xiao family? What is his purpose for coming to our Xiao family this time? Do you know?"
Xiao Changlong shook his head and said, "I don't know. Maybe I want to see our situation and check some news."
"He is here to see if I have left, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the risk to come to the door of my residence." Xiao Zihong said again.
Xiao Changlong was even more surprised and said, "Did he really see if the master left? But why did he do this? What is his purpose?"
This time it was Xiao Changlong's turn to ask Xiao Zihong, but Xiao Zihong answered his question: "He may want to see if I'm in the Xiao Mansion. As for what he wants to do, I'm afraid you will know only if you find out. Go and investigate whether there are any strong men in the imperial city recently, especially the strong man in the Holy Realm. If he has ever appeared in the Fengchen Empire, report to me immediately."
What Xiao Zihong feared most was that this strong man came to Fengchen Empire again. If he came back, or if he came to deal with the Xiao family, he might have to ask the elders of the Xiao family for help, and with his strength, he could not deal with it.
Xiao Changlong was also shocked. If the strong man really came back, even Xiao Zihong would be in danger. Xiao Changlong hurriedly said, "Master, I think the master should leave here as soon as possible. If that strong man comes to deal with the Xiao family again, the master will be in danger."
Xiao Zihong shook his head and said, "I can't leave yet, especially at this time, if that strong man really comes, I want to command the author here, at least I can protect Xiao Chen's safety and ask the elder of the headquarters for help. However, it has not reached this point yet, and we don't know if he has come back yet, so let you send someone to investigate and talk. If that kid comes back alone, there will be no big fuss. Even if his strength has improved, I believe you can handle it."
Xiao Zihong would not believe that Ye Qingyan's strength could surpass Xiao Changlong. What he was worried about was the strong man behind Ye Qingyan. As long as he appeared, even Xiao Zihong would be unable to protect him, but Xiao Zihong still wanted to stay, at least he could buy some time for the Xiao family.
Xiao Changlong hurriedly asked when he heard the master's words: "Master, then you are not going to leave here tomorrow."
Xiao Zihong nodded and said, "I won't leave tomorrow. If that strong man appears, I will lead you to leave together. Even if an empire gives it to the other party, it's no big deal. At least it can guarantee your life."
Xiao Zihong was ready to retreat because the strong man was too strong and they had no confidence in winning. If they lost an empire, they would not suffer much loss to the Xiao family. He could make up for all these losses from other places.
Xiao Changlong did not dare to neglect and immediately said, "Master, I will search the whole city tomorrow, and I must find out the whereabouts of the strong man and the assassin today. Once found, I will report to the master."
Xiao Zihong shook his head and said, "You must not search a lot, so as not to anger the strong man. He is an existence we cannot afford to offend now. You can only investigate in secret. I believe that if he is in the city within a few days, he will also take action. If there is no action, it will prove that he has not come back. I can go back with confidence."
Xiao Changlong quickly took the order and said, "Young man, let's arrange for the secret search, and the master will rest early."
