Bloody Kyoto

Chapter 70, The Liu Family Mansion, End; The Steward's Grief

Upon hearing footsteps, Liu Zihe, who was sitting against the metal container, immediately assumed an attack stance.

With a loud clang.

A ray of light shone in, and a figure appeared in his eyes; the face was very familiar.

In an instant, he knew who it was!

Huo Lele, it's Huo Lele.

Liu Zihe was overjoyed. He wanted to kill her, so he threw a punch at the figure at the door.

But before he could get close, he was suddenly bound tightly by vines.

He struggled, he roared and howled.

Li Nanle didn't even glance at him, lit an incense stick as if no one else was around, and then walked out.

When Liu Zihe saw her walk out, he started shouting again, but his mouth was covered by vine leaves as soon as he shouted.

Li Manle carried a bucket full of water to a field planted with different medicinal plants.

He scooped up ladle after ladle of water and poured it down.

This land is planted entirely with raw materials for making puppet incense. Some of the raw materials she used at the beginning were purchased by her, while others were found in the wild.

For future convenience, she bought some seeds and planted them, but they are not yet mature and need to be planted for a while.

After watering, she left with the empty bucket.

In fact, she didn't need to fetch water to water the plants in the space; she did it just to pass the time.

After doing some chores, she went into the container. At this moment, Liu Zihe was already unconscious.

After waking him up, they began to question him.

“Tell me the details of the arrest and murder of Huo Yunxia.”

She already knows most of the things, and asking again now is simply an attempt to find some possible oversights.

Liu Zihe, under the influence of the Puppet Incense, mechanically recounted everything he knew.

He talked for over an hour.

After listening, Li Nanle narrowed her eyes; she had noticed something she hadn't seen before.

Even after being drugged, Yunxia still possessed immense strength; she did not lose all her power from the beginning.

During this time, she engaged in a major battle with someone, and encountered the fierce fight that Ah Niu had described.

At first, she only thought that her opponent in the fierce battle was Zheng Jiaojiao's bodyguard or guard.

But Liu Zihe said that those people were specially invited by Zheng Jiaojiao to deal with Yunxia.

The phrase "specially invited" carries a significant weight. Zheng Jiaojiao originally wielded considerable power, and with such power, she could simply order whomever she wanted to do something.

But those people were 'specially invited,' which means that the people who helped capture Yunxia were extraordinary.

Thinking about it, she asked again, "Do you know who helped Zheng Jiaojiao capture Yunxia?"

"do not know."

This group of people is really mysterious, but no matter how mysterious they are, she will definitely dig them out.

She had nothing more to ask, so Liu Zihe was no longer of any use to her. She took out the case containing scalpels and picked out a knife as thin as a cicada's wing.

Before dawn, she put on the silicone old woman's skin again and went out of the space. She found that there were already servants waiting outside the door, waiting for Liu Zihe to wake up at any time to serve him dressing and washing up.

She opened the door and walked out naturally. The servant immediately came to greet her, "Senior, you're awake. I'll go get you some water to wash up right away."

Li Nanle smiled and waved her hand, "No need, I'll go for a morning walk first, and wash up when I get back."

"By the way, your master is too tired lately and is still sleeping. Don't go in and disturb him. Let him sleep until he wakes up naturally."

The servant acknowledged and withdrew. Watching the figure walk out of the courtyard, he scratched his head, unable to understand what a morning walk was.

Everyone in the Liu household knew that a skilled old woman had come to the mansion, capable of shattering a rockery into powder with a single touch.

Such formidable strength inspires both awe and fear in ordinary people.

Some servants saw her from afar and instinctively avoided her; those who couldn't avoid her stood trembling with fear and their heads bowed.

Li Nanle walked until she arrived at the abandoned courtyard of the Liu residence, the same courtyard where Liu Zihe had hidden Yunxia's blood yesterday.

Standing in front of the broken water vat, a seed was dropped. The seed grew rapidly, rolled up the broken water vat to one side, and then plunged into the soil to pull the box out.

Li Nanle opened it, glanced at it, then put it into his spatial storage, and then climbed over the courtyard wall to leave the Liu residence.

Liu Zihe did not wake up until noon. Only then did the butler realize something was wrong. He went in to check and found that the person he thought was still sleeping was not there.

At the same time, he also discovered that the elderly woman from his previous life was gone.

Then, during the search, they found a broken water vat tied with vines in an abandoned yard.

The butler and the rest of the Liu family collapsed to the ground.

People from another world have been here!

They even kidnapped their master without a word.

Everyone was puzzled. When was the master kidnapped?

When the old lady came out this morning, she said that the master was sleeping, which means he was kidnapped during the day.

However, there were guards all around the master's courtyard, and there were no signs of a struggle in the master's room.

So how exactly was the master kidnapped? And where did that old woman go?

Everyone was completely bewildered and at a loss.

Only the butler's mind instantly cleared, realizing that the old woman was from another world.

Yesterday, when he tried to touch her face to check if she was wearing a disguise, the reason she acted so frivolously was entirely to thwart his attempt to check if she was wearing a disguise.

"Ha ha……"

He was the one who harmed the master. If he had suppressed his disgust and examined the body carefully, she would not have had the chance to kidnap him.

There's even a possibility of catching her.

The butler collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with regret and confusion.

He was once very worried that the people from other worlds would implicate them, the servants, and even considered escaping from the Liu family mansion.

But now that the otherworlders haven't harmed them, he's survived, but why isn't he happy at all?

Was it his mistake that caused the master's death?

Yes, that's the reason.

All I could hear were the panicked voices of the servants.

He knew the Liu family was finished; without a master, its disintegration was only a matter of time.

"Butler Sun, stop dawdling and hurry up and pack your things to escape!"

"Never mind him, let's hurry to the storeroom and take as much valuables as possible to escape." One person grabbed the steward and tried to persuade him.

"Hey, stop dawdling, or all the good stuff will be taken."

"Gone! Gone!"

The steward, who was in his forties, looked at the Liu family mansion, which had been relatively orderly, and saw it had changed in an instant. Tears silently streamed down his face.

"Butler Sun..."

Through his teary eyes, he saw the four guards who had landed in front of him and burst into tears.

The four guards remained silent, simply standing and listening to him cry.

Having cried enough, the butler stopped sobbing and calmly said, "The Liu family has no master anymore. You are free. Go and pack your belongings and leave!"

"And what about you, Butler Sun?"

The steward shook his head. "This old servant was a beggar since childhood. It was Old Master Liu who took me in, and since then I've had a stable life. To me, the Liu family is home..."

Upon hearing his words, the four guards knew his decision.

The four people knelt on one knee, kowtowed to him, and then quickly disappeared from sight.

With determination, Steward Sun walked to the room where the master lived and knelt down heavily.

The door was wide open. He stared inside for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "Master, don't be afraid. This servant will always be watching over you."

After kowtowing once, he straightened up and, with a smile on his face, kowtowed again heavily.

He didn't get up again and remained in the kowtow position.

The spot where his head hit the ground was slowly stained red with blood.
