After shouting at Jun Lin Yu to retreat, the first wife turned her gaze to Jun Lin Yue and said in a faint voice:
"Xiao Wu, if I remember correctly, you should be 18 years old this year right? Although you are not my birth, I watched you grow up. Speaking of which, you should be considered half a son of mine. As long as you tell me the whereabouts of Xi Er, I will consider the relationship between mother and son, and write off all previous grudges. You can still continue to be the Marquis of Xuanwu, what do you think! "
After she finished speaking, the first wife calmly looked at Jun Lin Yue, her expression completely unchanged. It was as if what she had just said had nothing to do with her.
The hall was frighteningly quiet. After a long time, Jun Lin Yue opened his eyes once again. Surprisingly, there were a few glimmers of light in the depths of his eyes. Looking at the eldest wife, he chuckled and said:
"Madam, forgive Little Wu's stupidity, but I really don't understand. Where did all these grudges and grudges come from between you and me, and where did it come from?" Little Wu is even more confused. If I can hold onto the Marquis' position, how is it up to you to decide? "
At this time, a burly, middle-aged man sitting opposite of Jun Lanyue suddenly flew up into the air. He pointed at Jun Lanyue, gritted his teeth and said, "You little bastard, don't refuse a toast and eat a forfeit. If you don't tell us where Xe'er is, this old man will make you suffer a fate worse than death!" This person was dressed in green, his eyes were ringed by a leopard's head, and his hair was like needles. With a glare, he looked extremely murderous.
Jun Lanyue looked at this middle-aged man, not speaking directly. Instead, he sized him up with interest. His eyes carried a look of disdain as he intentionally provoked him, "What kind of thing are you that's worthy to speak to this marquis?"
When the middle-aged man heard Jun Lin Yue's words, his face turned ashen. He stared at Jun Lin Yue with eyes that could spit fire, "Little bastard, you, you …!" It could be seen that he was on the verge of erupting with rage. Jun Lanyue was so angry that his entire body was trembling.
He was not afraid of the middle-aged man's anger at all, and continued to act arrogantly and arrogantly, "Old man, why are you staring at me? This marquis will tell you this, if you kill this marquis now, you can just wait to collect Yang Xier's corpse. Anyways, this marquis has already lived enough, it's worth it to have Yang Xier to accompany him in death!" After saying that, he pretended to nod his head in satisfaction.
"You, you, you, you truly infuriated this old man!" The middle-aged man's voice was like thunder, he couldn't even speak clearly. Rushing Heaven Fury turned into a terrifying aura, shaking the entire hall. That killing intent was concentrated as it was aimed at Jun Linyue.
However, in the end, he didn't make a move against Jun Lanyue. Instead, he slammed his palm onto the wooden table beside him. With a "shatter" sound, the wooden table was broken into pieces. Many pieces of wood shavings were deeply embedded into the stone and disappeared without a trace.
Upon seeing the palm strike of the middle-aged man, Jun Lanyue swallowed hard. To think that he had such skills.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the mysterious person who possessed Yang Xi'er a few days ago was also extremely interested in Yang Xi'er. Could it be?
Jun Lanyue pretended to be calm as he stared straight into his eyes. He tried to capture something from his eyes.
No, it was not this person. With just a glance, one could tell that this person's body tempering technique was not the same as the mysterious person's sword technique.
That person had already calmed down, but his body was still blowing strong gales. His eyes were sharp and cold, as if he was unceasingly capturing the aura on Jun Lanyue's body, like a leopard looking at its prey.
At this moment, the air in the hall was like a tide, causing everyone's clothes to flutter. At this moment, an old man seated at the very front waved his left hand. All the air currents had actually been sucked into his palm and disappeared. At the same time, his voice rang out in the hall.
"Junior Lei, I can understand your feelings, but now is not the time to be angry. This is the Black Tortoise Mansion, I will listen to Junior Mei's arrangements!" The old man was also wearing a black robe. He wasn't very tall, and he looked like a celestial in the painting. However, he didn't look like a celestial. His triangular eyes were like a poisonous snake, and they occasionally flashed with cold light.
Hearing the old man's words, the middle-aged man withdrew his spell and all the killing intent disappeared. He let out a sigh and said, "Senior Brother Feng, you also know that Xi Er is … Sigh, if something were to happen, how are we to explain ourselves to that person when we return to the sect? " As he said this, he leaned back in his chair and frowned, not saying another word.
When the first wife saw this scene, helplessness flashed across her eyes. She turned her head to an elder standing to her right and asked, "Uncle Rong, how is the progress of the task I've instructed you to do?"
Hearing the first wife's question, Uncle Rong did not dare to be negligent. With a respectful face, he quickly bowed and replied, "Please rest assured Madam, the Golden Scale Guards in the mansion have all been dispatched. Even the people from Dark Sword Hall have been summoned by me.
Uncle Rong's answer gave the first wife a shock. She scolded, "What? Even the people from Dark Sword Hall have been dispatched? Who let you make such a decision?!"
The first lady suddenly became angry, causing Uncle Rong's face to change greatly. His heart shuddered, and he directly knelt on the ground, then replied in a trembling voice, "Please calm your anger Madam, please calm your anger, this old servant was worried about Miss Xi'er's disappearance, so I decided to personally transfer the people from Hidden Sword Hall away. I wanted to find Miss Xi Er and help you resolve your worries …"
The first wife stared at Uncle Rong as if she wanted to see something. After a while, she retracted her gaze and looked at Uncle Rong who was kneeling on the ground.
"Uncle Rong, I'll let you go for now. However, go and recall everyone from Dark Sword Hall. We can't delay any longer. Go!"
"Yes …" Yes, Madam, this old servant will go now! " Uncle Rong raised his head, saluted, and walked out of the Hidden Dragon Hall.
Jun Lin Yue, who was standing at the side, carefully analyzed the conversation between these people. One by one, new questions emerged. Even if Yang Xi'er was a profound practitioner, isn't this display a little too grand? For a mere Yang Xi'er, would she really need to use so much manpower? Could it be that Yang Xi'er has some kind of unspeakable secret?
However, there was no doubt that this unfathomable woman was the greatest bargaining chip of Jun Lanyue's life.
After he analyzed the conversation between the eldest wife and Uncle Rong, Jun Lanyue's heart began to rise again.
The Golden Scale Guards were the guards of the marquis' residence. There were more than three thousand of them, and each of them had extraordinary skills and considerable strength. With so many people out searching, Jun Lanyue was afraid that Tang An and the others would be found. In addition to the fact that his first wife had sent out numerous experts from the Hidden Sword Hall, Jun Lanyue was feeling even more uneasy.
Just at this moment, the First Madam's voice entered his ears:
"Xiao Wu, I know you're hiding Xi'er. You must have a plan. Tell me, what do you want to do before you're willing to hand her over!"
Jun Lanyue retracted his thoughts, and after a moment of silence, he looked at the first wife and opened his mouth to speak:
"Since the Madam has spoken, I shall speak frankly. Firstly, give me the imperial edict, Hou Ying, and Hubai Token, and secondly, give me the command to the Golden Scale Guards. Thirdly, I want the Madam to agree to help me kill a person. Of course, I won't make things difficult for the First Lady. I promise that the people sitting in this hall today won't be a threat to them. Fourth, I would like to ask the First Lady to tell me why she wants to kill me. If the first wife can do these four, I will immediately bring Yang Xi'er back. Otherwise, even if I die, I won't tell you where she is.
