Maybe the Horcrux was not taken away, or maybe the two people on the island were setting up a trap.

The boat was moving quickly on its return journey, but there were no corpses to obstruct it.

As I walked out of the cave, raindrops as big as beans swarmed towards me, hitting my face and causing pain.

Wiping his face, Wenxiu Lord cursed the damn weather inwardly, raised his wand expressionlessly and pointed it at the sky covered with dark clouds and thunder.

This unsuitable bad weather made Wenxiu Lord very unhappy. A spell pierced the clouds. Wenxiu Lord raised his hand to block the dazzling sunlight and raised the corners of his lips with satisfaction.

It should be sunny like this.

The shape-shifting technique is activated, and you can travel ten or a hundred miles in an instant.

In Lord Manor, Sebastian, who was overwhelmed by various tasks, was leading a group of servants to remove goblins from the rose bushes in great depression.

Almost at the moment when Wenxiu Lord's aura appeared in the manor, Sebastian dropped the work in his hands and appeared behind the head of his family with a radiant face and an expectant look.

"Master, you are back. Are you feeling unwell now?"

Sebastian was like an old father who was worried sick, and when he looked at Wenxiu Lord, his eyes were as if he was looking at a fragile item.

He has been stared at by too many people over the years, but it is this kind of concern, almost like that from a family member, that makes Wenxiu Lord feel helpless.

He raised his hand to cover his lips, "Ahem, I'm fine, find me a servant."

'The head of the family always disregards his own safety.' Thinking so, "...Yes." Sebastian sighed silently.

The next moment, a servant with a dull expression appeared in front of the two of them and saluted respectfully. There was a big bump on his forehead.

It was hit by the tool that Sebastian threw in his excited hand.

With just one glance, Wenxiu Lord roughly guessed what had happened.

It was just that Sebastian thought he would not come back today, and he made a mistake out of unexpected joy.

Glancing at Sebastian, who knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to look him in the eye, Wenxiu Lord felt pain in his eyes because of the few bright white hairs on his temples.

"Well, I'll be back by the end of this year or the beginning of next year at the latest."

Without talking about anything else, Wenxiu Lord turned his attention back to the servant and asked directly.

"You are system-generated. Are your bodies different from those of ordinary people?"

The servant answered decisively, "Master, our bodies are no different from humans, and the system will generate new bodies for us after we die."

Wenxiu Lord, who had wanted to ask them some other questions, was relieved after hearing this answer and extended his hand to the servant.

"Okay, hold my wrist."

The excited and delighted eyes beside him turned a little resentful when they saw the servant holding Wenxiu Lord's wrist. Wenxiu Lord forced himself to ignore the discomfort and tilted his head to give orders.

"Sebastian, go find Headmaster Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald. I'll leave the Room of Requirement and the Horcruxes in the Gaunt House to them."

After receiving the order from the head of the family, Sebastian calmed down and bowed respectfully. "Yes."

The three men split into two groups and disappeared on the spot. In the castle in the distance, a pale and solemn face was visible behind the reflective white glass.

Behind him, several cauldrons were steaming, and large quantities of potions filled the rows of cabinets around him.

The soothing rustling sound of the waves made people feel relaxed physically and mentally. Wenxiu Lord returned to the cave entrance with the servants, "Follow me." He entered sideways and walked deeper into the cave as if he was familiar with the place.

Most of the time was spent on the boat, which only took a dozen minutes in total.

But even in just a dozen minutes, Sirius was not idle.

"You're back. This person looks strange yet familiar. Which friend did Wen Xiu make before?"

"Of course you look familiar, he is my servant. Although you have lived in Lord Manor since graduation, you have been leaving early and returning late all year round, so it is normal that you don't recognize him."

The boat docked. Wenxiu Lord pushed away Sirius, who was looking at him unfriendly and asking him questions, and raised his eyes to notice Regulus hiding in the darkness.

Confused, he glanced at Sirius, who was in a good mood after getting the answer, and said, "Fluorescent flashing." Wenxiu Lord walked towards Regulus, who was retreating repeatedly and covering his face with his hands in panic.

"If you step back any further, you'll fall into the arms of the Inferi. Why are you hiding from me?"

He stepped forward, grabbed one of Regulus' arms and pulled him inward. Then, Wenxiu Lord put away his wand and, with a dangerous smile, grabbed the wrist that was covering his face.

"Don't move. I can't swim. If we fall in together, we'll just be a pair of Inferi friends."

Hearing this, Regulus's struggling movements froze, and he reluctantly let go.

Sirius, who was behind the two men, had already seen that something was wrong, but because he was threatened by Wenxiu Lord's glare, he didn't dare to move forward at all, for fear that his anger would reach him too quickly.

Sure enough, after seeing the carefully preserved large bruise on Regulus' cheekbone.

"Sirius!" Wenxiu Lord rushed towards Sirius with anger. "He is your brother! Why are you hitting him?!"

Sirius knew he was in trouble after being dodged several times when he tried to heal Regulus with a spell.

Now seeing the anger on Wenxiu Lord's face and the cunning in Regulus' eyes, he pretended to be very well-behaved on the surface.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I was just too angry to see Regulus take his life so lightly."

In fact, his back teeth were almost broken, and he secretly hated himself for only throwing one punch out of consideration for the brotherhood.

Faced with such a guy who actively admitted his mistakes and refused to repent, Wenxiu Lord could only snort coldly and ignore him.

Taking out the healing ointment from the system backpack, Wenxiu Lord raised his chin and gestured to the servant, "Go and drink up the liquid in the stone basin and take out the contents."

Logically, the servant would never disobey his orders, but Wenxiu Lord was afraid that the servant would lose consciousness due to the physical pain, so to be on the safe side, he spoke to Sirius who was alert not far away.

"You go and help him. If he stops halfway, you force the remaining venom into his mouth."

As soon as these words were spoken, the air around them seemed to stagnate for a moment.

Although it was brief, Wenxiu Lord was keenly aware of it, including the changes in Sirius's eyes before and after he spoke.

"He won't die. I'm not cold-blooded enough to trade the life of my own servant for a Horcrux."

If he wasn't afraid that those dark wizards with fragile souls couldn't withstand the poison, Wenxiu Lord felt that it would be more cost-effective to arrest people in Azkaban or Knockturn Alley.

It’s so easy to grab a handful.

The deep scrutiny in his eyes turned into guilt the moment he finished speaking. Sirius lowered his head in frustration and apologized frankly, "I'm sorry, Wen Xiu, I misunderstood you."

He stood beside the servant who had already started drinking the poison, and carefully looked up to glance at Wenxiu Lord's expression, fearing that he would be sad because of him.

Wenxiu Lord, who was applying medicine to Regulus, naturally noticed Sirius's gaze.

The back of his hand holding the medicine bottle felt dry and warm. Regulus frowned slightly, his eyes filled with comfort.

With a gentle smile on his face, Wenxiu Lord shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Are you sad? A little bit, but mostly I feel relieved.

"Stop peeking at me. I'm not angry with you. On the contrary, I'm very happy. Only by keeping an attitude of scrutiny towards everything and everyone will you not be affected by external things, and you can achieve your goals better."

This was a generous statement without damaging the friendship, but Sirius got furious after hearing it.

Just as Wenxiu Lord was about to speak with a puzzled look on his face, "Hiss—it hurts." Regulus' cry of pain attracted his attention.

"I'm sorry, did I hit you too hard? I'll be gentler. How do you feel now? Is it still painful?"

Regulus took up Wenxiu Lord's hand which was gently covering his cheek with both hands, narrowed his eyes slightly and rubbed it against his cheek.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, thank you Wenxiu." The drooping eyes made Regulus' smile look more gentle and harmless.

This look was so adorable that it almost instantly captured Wenxiu Lord's entire mind.

"It's okay. I hurt you because I didn't use enough force. I'll be gentler."

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two was quite ambiguous.

Sirius was so angry that he almost stepped on the ground and made a few holes.

The two people who were shrouded in resentment turned their heads and saw this scene, and both laughed out loud.
