Chapter 1528: Chapter 1350: Stormy Night in Jianghu

Xia Dabao stood outside the fence, suddenly remembering the "villa" her mother had described, wasn’t it just like that? With green mountains, lush trees, a terrace, and maids waiting on her.

It looked like the days here wouldn’t be bad.

Just as she was about to relax and stretch lazily, the gate was opened from the outside. The first to enter was Yuan Xiao.

Xia Dabao saw Yuan Xiao but wasn’t sure whether to greet him or not, since they were hardly acquainted.

Moreover, the sight of Yuan Xiao reminded her of his drunken demeanor that one time.

The current Yuan Xiao was cold as ice, followed by five others, the Wind, Rain, Thunder, Lightning, and Cloud, the five Great Guards under Yun Xiao.

After entering, he began instructing them in a matter-of-fact tone, "You must protect Xia Dabao thoroughly. If anything happens to her, I might forgive you, but the Clan Chief will not!"

"Yes!"

"..."

Once the guards’ tasks were arranged, Yun Xiao opened the door and left, and the guards immediately got to work: one stationed at the entrance gate, two at the door of the room, and one approached her side.

Xia Dabao felt uncomfortable under their scrutiny and decided it was best to return to her room.

...

"Camellia, how many people are in your clan?"

"Peony, is that Yuan Xiao one of the top four experts of your South Radiance Kingdom? Is he ranked first or fourth?"

"Camellia, do you also raise insects? Oh no, I mean gu, those kind of creatures, have you raised them?"

"..."

Xia Dabao was bored, so she tried chatting with Camellia and Peony, but they knew next to nothing, not even whether they had ever raised gu.

Alright, if they wouldn’t talk, then Xia Dabao would search them; after all, she wasn’t afraid of gu, other than those so-called love gu, which she didn’t fear in the slightest.

But as soon as Xia Dabao started searching, Camellia and Peony began to evade, and Xia Dabao gave chase.

For a moment, this so-called mountain villa was thrown into chaos.

"Lady Abao, please don’t make things difficult for us, we’re just servants..." Camellia pleaded while circling a stone table.

"Lady Abao, even if you kill us, we know nothing," Peony tried to hide in the kitchen but was caught by Xia Dabao. Xia Dabao grabbed her and sealed her pressure point, then searched her body. Peony was searched so intensely she felt both ticklish and numb, pleading for mercy amidst shouts.

On the roof.

A person stood quietly on the highest beam, listening to the noise below, and cursed, "Childish! A woman who knows nothing of the world!"

...

Outside the house.

"Is everything in place regarding Lady Xia Dabao?" Elder Yun asked.

"Elder Yun, I’ve already sent people to watch her. My subordinates, Wind, Rain, Thunder, Lightning, and Cloud, are all guarding her. We can ensure absolute security," Yun Xiao replied.

Elder Yun nodded, "This matter must not be known by the Moon Heart Tribe and the Moon Shadow Clan, if they find out, the consequences would be severe."

"Your subordinate understands!"

"Remember the task the Clan Chief gave you for tonight, make sure it’s done well!" Elder Yun added.

"Reporting to the elder, your subordinate will set off to do it right now!"

"If you are not sure, take more people with you and ensure the task is carried out," Elder Yun instructed.

"Your subordinate will definitely complete the mission!"

...

The night descended.

Yege and Nan Feng were putting up for the night in the small town where they had rice noodles during the day.

There was only one inn in this town, and Yege and Nan Feng planned to stay here first, to decide their next steps based on how things unfold.

After settling Nan Feng, Yege had the innkeeper fry some bamboo shoots and a plate of beef was brought up.
