Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

The servant was delighted to think that Swift Wind had left, so he hurriedly slipped away from the corner door. However, to his surprise, although Swift Wind had indeed left the mansion, he did not go far away, but hid in the dark, closely watching the actions of everyone in the mansion, especially the servant who had just said the wrong thing.

Sure enough, just as Xunfeng had expected, about a quarter of an hour after he pretended to leave, the servant sneaked out from the corner door, his steps light and cautious, as if he was afraid of making any sound and attracting other people's attention.

Because Swift Wind possessed martial arts prowess and frequently engaged in tracking, he had accumulated considerable experience. At this moment, he skillfully maintained a comfortable distance, following closely behind the servant. Although the servant occasionally glanced around, trying to detect anyone following him, he ultimately failed to detect Swift Wind's presence.

Along the way, the boy seemed to be doing it on purpose, constantly taking detours and choosing those winding, rugged and complicated paths to walk on, obviously trying to get rid of possible pursuers.

Unfortunately, his wishful thinking hit the wrong target. After all, the one following him this time was the battle-hardened Xunfeng, and these trivial tricks were nothing to Xunfeng.

After a series of twists and turns, the boy finally arrived at a thatched hut in a remote place.

To avoid causing unnecessary trouble and alerting any potential targets, Xunfeng cautiously waited for the servant to enter the house before tiptoeing forward. He approached the side of the hut and gently poked his finger through the thin, cicada-wing window paper. Through this tiny hole, he quietly observed every move within the room...

However, what surprised Xunfeng was that the room was empty except for the servant who had just entered.

This sudden situation made Xun Feng suspicious, and he couldn't help but wonder if his previous judgment was wrong. Could it be that this servant was just here to handle some business?

But then, Xunfeng quickly dismissed this idea: something wasn't right. If they were really just here to get something done, why would they choose such a remote, far-flung place? Common sense dictated that this place was most likely the secret place they had agreed to meet.

Thinking of this, Xunfeng secretly made up his mind and decided to continue waiting patiently. If there was still no movement after another quarter of an hour, then perhaps he would have to admit that he was thinking in the wrong direction.

But just as the quarter-hour mark was about to expire and Xunfeng was about to leave, another figure appeared in the distance. This figure looked somewhat familiar, yet it was hard to place who it was...

Therefore, Xunfeng made up his mind to stay where he was and listen attentively to their conversation, hoping to find even the slightest clue or lead.

Just then, the uninvited guest pushed open the door, accompanied by a sharp creak. The servant looked up suddenly, as if startled awake. His previously dull eyes flashed a glint of light, but then he regained his respectful and submissive demeanor and said softly, "I, your servant Erwang, have come to pay my respects to Manager Xu!"

Manager Xu was obviously quite satisfied and pleased with the young man's humble and polite attitude. However, when he recalled that the other party had summoned him here so hurriedly and eagerly, he couldn't help feeling annoyed.

So, he put on a stern face and shouted in a stern voice, "Erwang, Erwang, what on earth is the reason you are so impatient to call me here? If it's not something extremely urgent, don't blame me for reporting it to the master and having him punish you!"

Hearing this, Xunfeng immediately knew that the person before him was definitely not the mastermind behind the incident. However, he did not intend to stop there, but instead planned to use this clue to further investigate.

The servant named Erwang's face was filled with anxiety, and he kept muttering, "Oh, my dear Manager Xu, if it weren't for something extremely important, how could I dare to disturb you so presumptuously? I know you are very busy with all kinds of affairs!"

Upon hearing this, Manager Xu frowned, a look of suspicion on his face. He pressed on, "Oh? If that's the case, then I'd like to hear what's going on to warrant summoning me!"

Erwang lowered his voice and said in a very low voice: "Manager Xu, in my opinion, perhaps we performed too outstandingly, so that Lord Xunfeng became suspicious of us. I guess he is wondering if someone has deliberately planted us in the Palace of the King of Yunnan!" As he spoke, he quietly ignored the part that he had accidentally let slip before.

Hearing this, Manager Xu felt a sudden headache. He couldn't help but rub his temples and muttered, "You guys, can't you just give me a break? You're always causing me trouble. I'm so busy cleaning up your messes that I barely have time to do anything else!"

Seeing this, Erwang quickly put on a fawning face, stepped forward, and gently stroked Manager Xu's chest with his hand, saying, "Manager Xu, please don't get angry. The most important thing right now is to quickly think of a solution to this difficult problem so that we can properly resolve it. That way, we won't ruin the master's carefully planned plan!"

Manager Xu said impatiently, "Alright, alright, do you think I'm stupid? I'll report this to the master first and then think of a solution. You can go back first and contact me if there's any news!"

Erwang said respectfully, "Yes, Manager Xu, I'll take my leave now!" Then he bowed and left the thatched cottage...

Not long after, Manager Xu also came out of the thatched hut, but he had a sad face. Xun Feng couldn't remember which mansion Manager Xu was from, so he decided to follow Manager Xu to find out!
