Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhong Lang, with an unwavering tone, said, I thought Eldest Miss Liu would stay in the side room for a while. Due to some personal matters, I had temporarily left the vicinity, only to find out about this incident later. It was my negligence. I beg Eldest Miss Lius forgiveness.

Liu s.h.i.+mei found herself utterly unaccustomed to this groveling spectacle. Besides, this was hardly the appropriate place for conversation. She was just about to tell Zhong Lang to rise when Huangfu Lingyao erupted in fury.

Wife, he roared, make him kneel! Who allowed him to run rampant? Not only should he kneel, but he should also be spanked on his backside with a board!

His demeanor implied: Look how obedient I am. When my wife tells me not to run around, I never run around!

In reality, he was silently rejoicing. He was glad he had persisted, ensuring he stuck to Liu s.h.i.+mei like glue. He even stood guard outside the restroom.

In the end, it all came back to his understanding of the Yongan Inn. There were far too many vendettas, debt chases, and other unsavory incidents there. The inn was truly a den of iniquity, an utterly chaotic place.

Thus, he couldnt bear to let Liu s.h.i.+mei roam the inn alone. Thankfully, he hadnt!

Liu s.h.i.+mei had a pounding headache. Zhong Lang, please get up first and deal with the situation at hand. Once we find out who hired the killer to murder me and bring the real culprit to justice, we can settle scores. Lets handle the external matters first and then address the internal issues. So much has happened in such a short span; my mind is in complete disarray.

Three questions lingered in the air. First, who had hired the a.s.sa.s.sin? Second, what deadly feud existed between Mu Jiangli and Zhong Lang? And third, Zhong Lang had gone on personal business, an act of dereliction of duty. If nothing had happened to her, it might have been overlooked, but fate had dealt its blow, and her silly puppy had paid the price.

The injury to her silly dog was the crux of the matter.

Seeing her so focused, Huangfu Lingyao ceased his protests. Wife, can this needle be removed? Lets go back, back to back to Grandpas place!

It was fortunate that he was the one injured. If Liu s.h.i.+mei had been hurt, Liang Wei might have razed the entire Yongan Inn to the ground!

The martial experts from the Liang family sprang into action. Demolis.h.i.+ng a building was childs play for them; with a single punch, they could bring down a house in half a day.

Alright, Ill remove the needle for you, and then well go back, Liu s.h.i.+mei said. She hesitated for a moment, thinking of Mu Jiangli as an outsider. Lord Mu, todays events were thanks to you. If I may trouble you, could you help us escort these people to the Liang Residence? Once these matters are settled, I will come and express my grat.i.tude properly.

At the mention of the Liang Residence, Mu Jiangli lowered his eyes. After a brief silence, he said, Certainly.

Before Liu s.h.i.+mei could respond, he continued, I will accompany you all the way to the end of your journey. Additionally I hope you resolve other matters, enabling me to settle the score with Zhong Lang!

Huangfu Lingyao understood his meaning immediately. He glared, his eyes widening. Are you suggesting you want to not only accompany us to Grandfathers place but also stay as a guest?

As soon as he realized, he began to protest vehemently, Hes not even your grandfather! Why should he allow you to stay?!

Mu Jiangli couldnt be bothered with his outburst.

Although surprised by his proactive offer, Liu s.h.i.+mei welcomed Mu Jianglis decision. Its good if Lord Mu stays. Once these matters are settled, we must thank you properly for saving our lives.

Its just a small effort, a detour on my way. No need for excessive grat.i.tude. As for the feud between me and Zhong Lang Mu Jiangli remained calm. I can wait.

Liu s.h.i.+mei bit her lip. Thats fine. If Lord Mu hadnt intervened today, both Lingyao and I might not have survived until Ninth Brother came out, and by then, it might have been too late for both of us. He would have been arranging for our funerals.

Therefore, Mu Jiangli was their savior. This was a debt that needed to be reported to Liang Wei.

With that settled, the group quickly made preparations and set off for the Liang residence within the city.

As for the Yongan Inn, where fights were commonplace, this incident quickly faded into obscurity.

Before leaving the inn, when Liu s.h.i.+mei was momentarily distracted, Huangfu Lingyao glanced in a certain direction, his eyes deep and filled with a heavy warning..
