In the front yard of the Jiang Mansion , there was a continuous wailing. Seven or eight middle-aged guards were holding long sticks surrounding Feng Yu Die. There were also a few young guards rolling around while clutching their bellies in pain.
Most of these young guards were only at the first or second level of Qi Refining , and many were still in the physical training stage. They were more than enough to deal with some street gangsters, but if they really encountered something more difficult, they wouldn't be able to deal with it.
"Take this!"
The seven-foot-long stick collapsed into a semicircle in the air, heading straight toward Feng Yu Die's head.
Feng Yu Die only glanced at the seemingly menacing blow, then sidestepped to avoid it, taking the opportunity to strike the guard in the abdomen with her right knee.
The man flew and landed like a stone on the floor tiles in the front yard, and his back hit the side steps hard before he stopped.
"Stop! I'm not..."
Feng Yu Die took the opportunity and tried to persuade them, but before she could finish her words, another guard rushed up with a stick.
She had no choice but to raise the scabbard in her right hand, block the hit, and then kick the man away.
However, although Feng Yu Die was quite skillful, Jiang Yu, who was confronting another three guards not far away, was not faring so well.
He was now lying on the ground, covering his head, his nose swollen and his face bruised. The three guards surrounded him and kicked him hard on the back, cursing him all the while.
"Ouch! Ouch!!" Jiang Yu couldn't take it anymore, so he reached out to Feng Yu Die for help. "Sister! Sister!! Save me~~ Ouch!"
Speechlessly, Feng Yu Die had no choice but to kick away a few more guards and rush toward Jiang Yu, preparing to drive away the three guards around him.
However, just as she took two steps, she felt a sudden jolt in her back.
"Eh? A killing intent?!"
Instinctively, Feng Yu Die turned her body sideways, yet her line of sight was blocked by her own waterfall-like silver hair.
Swish---
A three-foot bluish sword peak passed through her hair, almost skimming past her eyes.
Feng Yu Die's eyes followed the blade of the sword for a breath, and then she saw the rest of the sword less than three inches away from her eyes, suddenly strangely splitting into two.
The original sword was a stabbing strike, but the separated sword shadow was a horizontal swing.
Holding her breath, she hastily tilted her head to dodge.
The split sword shadow passed the tip of her nose but again split into a new sword shadow in the middle.
This time it was a vertical slash.
Because there was no way to dodge, Feng Yu Die had no choice but to lift the scabbard and hold it with both hands on the cross-section of the sword path.
Ding--
Feng Yu Die's floating silver hair, now also settled down, and she finally saw the person attacking her with the sword.
"Pei...!!"
Seeing Pei Lianxue's face, Feng Yu Die's eyes suddenly lit up.
However, before she could say the word 'Sister', she received a heavy knee in the stomach.
" Belch --!"
Her right knee sank into Feng Yu Die's stomach, throwing her into the air, feet up.
But Pei Lianxue wasn't done yet, she immediately added an additional five units of force with an inch-strength technique.
Boom--
The airwaves blew away the dust around her feet.
Feng Yu Die turned into a white ball that flew out the door of the Jiang Mansion , rolled several times, and crashed into the wall across the street before stopping.
Before she could recover and stand up from the ground, Jiang Yu was also picked up by two guards and thrown out the mansion door.
Bang--
Pei Lianxue personally closed the double doors of the Jiang Mansion and pulled the latch. Then she turned to face the guards and frowned. "Don't let them in!! Especially the one with white hair! Got it?!"
This was the first time for these guards to see the Young Madam's serious expression, and they all nodded fervently. "Ah... Yes, ma'am, we will never let them in."
"Good."
Pei Lianxue nodded, then put the sword back into the storage bag and hurried back to the main hall.
However, when she returned to the main hall and wanted to tell Ye Anping she had kicked them all out, he was not there. Only Liang Zhu sat on a chair and drank tea with a blank expression.
Pei Lianxue looked left and right for a while, then walked up to Liang Zhu and asked him, "Where is my husband?"
"I think he went to the backyard."
"The backyard?"
"Yeah, the backyard."
"Okay, thank you."
Pei Lianxue nodded and quickly walked out the side door of the main hall toward the backyard.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Jiang Mansion gate.
Feng Yu Die sat dumbfounded on the ground, burping every now and then. She felt that Sister Pei's knee strike stopped her energy flow.
Although it was cool, it felt really uncomfortable now.
She took her time to recover and then looked at Jiang Yu, who was now bruised and swollen, with a trace of resentment in her eyes.
Feng Yu Die had no intention of fighting the Jiang Mansion guards, but this idiot, without saying anything, directly pushed the two guards at the door away, forcibly broke in, and yelled out, ' Quickly call those two dogs out, it's time they die!! '
As a matter of course, the guards of the Jiang Mansion raised their weapons and surrounded them.
Feng Yu Die wanted to stop the fight from breaking, but while she was persuading them, Jiang Yu was cursing them. In the end, the guards didn't care and hit her with a wooden stick.
Once the blows came out, talking was useless, and she was forced to defend herself.
Thinking of this, Feng Yu Die's eyes twitched, and she couldn't help but curse. "Are you stupid?!"
"Ah?" Jiang Yu looked confused, shrank his neck, and covered his swollen face. "Why am I stupid?"
Feng Yu Die rolled her eyes. "Can't you be polite first? Can't you scold the fake young master after we see him? Weren't you facing just a group of guards? Were you afraid that they wouldn't beat you up?!"
"Ah... but... it's obvious that I am the real Jiang Yu."
"..."
Feng Yu Die thought that, since she had already confirmed that it was really Sister Pei, there was no need for her to accompany this Young Master Jiang anymore. She wouldn't be able to get the spirit stones anyway.
"You can find someone else for this job. I won't accompany you anymore."
Feng Yu Die stood up, patted her dress, turned around, and prepared to circle twice before returning to Jiang Mansion to find Sister Pei.
"Ah? Sister! Wait a minute... Didn't we have a deal?"
Jiang Yu tried to persuade her to stay, but Feng Yu Die ignored him and continued walking around.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar face appear before her. Ye Anping, now wearing his Black Star Sect uniform, walked up to her expressionlessly.
"Uh-oh."
"..."
Feng Yu Die was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the Jiang Mansion across the street, then looked at Ye Anping again, and suddenly, three wrinkles appeared on her forehead.
For a moment, she couldn't figure out why Ye Anping appeared here.
Logically speaking, since Sister Pei acted as the Madame of the Jiang Mansion , Ye Anping should be pretending to be Young Master Jiang Yu of the Jiang Mansion .
In fact, just after his sister rushed out, Ye Anping immediately went back to the bedroom to change his clothes and then slipped out through the backyard.
He planned to deal with Jiang Yu's matter using his identity as a Black Star Sect disciple.
Just now, Feng Yu Die had injured the guards of the Jiang Mansion , so if he stepped in as the Young Master to resolve the matter, in order to convince the public, he would have to have the guards beat Jiang Yu with dozens of big sticks, and then throw him into the Duchun City 's Department of Crimes to be judged.
At that time, this matter would not end well.
Ye Anping smiled and cupped his hands. "Sister Feng, what a coincidence to meet you here."
"Huh?"
Hearing this voice, Jiang Yu was slightly startled. He felt it sounded a bit like the person who robbed him. He quickly turned his head to look, but when he saw the Black Star Sect uniform on Ye Anping, he immediately rejected this idea.
How could a disciple of the Black Star Sect rob him?
Feng Yu Die seemed like she had finally come to her senses, but just as she was about to speak, Xiao Tian flew out of her head with a whoosh, opened her hands, and flew toward Ye Anping.
" Hey, Ye kid! I was just thinking about you ,'' she said.
