Help! My pet supervillain has three personalities!

Tang Yue then put down her hands that were rubbing her arms and slowly said to the group, "Alright, now that I've rescued you from the Prime Minister's residence, there's still one problem that needs to be solved."

"what?"

The expressions on their faces suddenly turned somewhat bewildered.

Looking at their expressions, Tang Yue sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation: "What? You guys are planning to spend the night in this unsafe alley and then get caught and taken back tomorrow?"

"Uh..." It seems there's a problem.

"So, where are you planning to stay today? Is there a safe place to stay?"

Her gaze swept over the crowd, finally settling on Murong Bai.

Faced with this question, apart from Murong Bai, the other three seemed somewhat bewildered and at a loss for words.

After all, although they had always longed to escape the Prime Minister's mansion, when the moment finally arrived, apart from the relief of surviving a disaster, they found that they had no idea where to go next.

Most importantly, they all know Lin Xiang's secret, so that man will definitely not let them go so easily, and in the capital, they have no safe place to hide.

"Come to my place."

Murong Bai, who was holding Yin Long and observing the surrounding situation, suddenly spoke.

Apart from Tang Yue, the others were all taken aback.

After all, it's a tacit consensus that people from the martial arts world don't associate with those in the imperial court. If someone with ill intentions were to discover that Murong Bai had been befriending people from the martial arts world, then trouble would likely come knocking again.

But there's no better way now.

Lei Yuan looked up at Murong Bai and asked tactfully, "Won't this be too much trouble for you?"

Murong Bai smiled and said, "It's no trouble at all. Besides, I need your help to bring down Prime Minister Lin."

“That works too,” Qu Fei and Lei Yuan nodded.

Seeing that the group had already decided on their destination, Tang Yue smiled and said, "Well, since you all plan to go to this uncle's house, I'll take my leave now. If you raise the money later, set off some fireworks, and I'll come back to collect the money from you."

She pulled out four sparklers from somewhere, gave them to Murong Bai and the other two, and then turned and left.

Only after Tang Yue's figure disappeared from sight did Murong Bai speak: "Then let's go too, and get back to the manor sooner for safety."

"it is good."

The group followed Murong Bai in the opposite direction, while Tang Yue remained hidden in the shadows. Once they left, she silently followed behind as their bodyguard.

Only after she saw people enter the mansion did she find the back door, return to her room, and change into clean clothes.

………………

The main hall of the Duke's mansion became lively once again.

Just as Murong Bai was carrying Yin Long and was about to reach his own gate, he was spotted by the guards at the gate, who then helped them back into the mansion.

Murong Zhengqi was in his study sorting out the clues from today when he heard the steward say that Murong Bai had returned. He was so excited that he almost stood up.

He quickly had the butler push his wheelchair to the lobby.

Upon seeing Murong Bai, who was covered in tatters, his eyes welled up with tears. It was impossible not to worry. Over the years, Lin Fang's methods had become increasingly ruthless, and he was genuinely afraid that something might happen to his son. Even though he tried his best to suppress it, he still couldn't help but show his emotions when he saw Murong Bai again.

His voice was slightly choked up, but it was barely noticeable: "You...you're back?"

"Yes, Father, I'm sorry to have worried you."

Murong Bai stood up from the stool and bent down to reply.

"Sit down quickly. Don't move around if you're injured," Murong Zhengqi said with relief. "It's good that you're back. I'm fine, but Xiao Lang was very worried. I just sent someone to tell Xiao Lang that he should be here soon."

"Okay, Father."

Murong Zhengqi gently patted Murong Bai's shoulder before turning his gaze to the other three.

He asked in a questioning tone, "Bai'er, who are these three?"

"Oh, Father, these three are friends I just met. This one is Qu Fei, this one is Yin Long, and this one is Lei Yuan."

After Murong Bai finished introducing them one by one, Qu Fei and the others immediately bowed to Murong Zhengqi.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!" The tone was noticeably reserved.

Murong Zhengqi nodded. "Yes, get up. No need for formalities."

After he finished speaking, he asked Murong Bai, "Did they rescue you?"

Murong Bai paused for a moment before replying, "...No, Father, I will tell you the details later. Please ask the steward to arrange a guest room for the three of them and send more people to guard them."

Murong Zhengqi's eyes flickered: "Okay."

The physician, who had been summoned early, examined Murong Bai and the others before going to prepare their medicine.

Murong Minglang had been worried about Murong Bai's safety and hadn't been able to sleep at all in his room. Now, upon hearing that his father had returned safely, he rushed over, forgetting even to put on his shoes.

As soon as they entered the hall, she rushed into Murong Bai's arms, her voice muffled: "Father, I was so worried about you."

Murong Bai touched Murong Minglang's head with his uninjured hand.

He lowered his head to face Murong Minglang, his voice gentle: "Don't worry, Xiaolang, Daddy's back safe and sound, right?"

"Yes, yes, it's good that you're alright, Father," Murong Minglang nodded vigorously, his eyes slightly red, like a chick pecking at rice.

He was really worried and afraid that something had happened to his father!

Murong Bai rubbed Murong Minglang's head and said with a smile, "Alright, how old are you? Still lingering in Daddy's arms and refusing to come out, hmm?"

"No matter how old he is, he's still your child. He's not even ten years old yet!"

Tang Yue's voice rang out from outside the hall, and everyone in the hall looked at her.

Especially Murong Minglang.

Tang Yue, who had just arrived, felt a bit uncomfortable being stared at like that. She quickly pulled Murong Minglang out of Murong Bai's arms and placed him in front of her as a shield.

She pouted and said, "What I said isn't wrong, she's not even as tall as me!"

Murong Minglang:...

There's no need to bring up his height.

"That's right, Young Master Tang is right."

Murong Bai agreed, his eyes revealing satisfaction, and he didn't mind that she had pulled Murong Minglang.

He had just seen Murong Zhengqi's new wheelchair, and he was already very satisfied with its appearance. After today's attack by those monsters, he wished Tang Yue could replace the poison on the wheelchair with a deadly poison that would kill anyone who touched it.

That way, if his father is attacked next time, he might be able to... escape.

Tang Yue tilted her head shyly, smiled gently, and then said nothing more.

Murong Bai was out of danger, and everyone in the Duke's mansion breathed a sigh of relief.

The steward had made arrangements for Qu Fei and the others, and almost everyone had left when Murong Bai's wife, Liu Ruyan, finally arrived late.
