“They really don’t need to go.”

"If they don't go, who else can kill the Spirit of Destruction? You? Me? Or the Purple Phoenix Army?"

"If they die, the position of heir to the empire will be vacant. Who else but Your Highness is qualified to sit in that position!"

Wutong stood up angrily, his empty eyes staring at the man in front of him who was resting with his eyes closed.

"Seventh Brother, do you care about the empire or her?"

The man still didn't open his eyes, seeming to be nonchalant about Wutong's words.

"Of course I care about her!"

The moment Wutong hesitated, the man shook his head in dissatisfaction.

"Seventh Brother, what you are worried about is the empire and the safety of mankind, not her. You can deceive others, you can deceive Big Brother, but you can't deceive me."

The man slowly opened his eyes and looked coldly at Wutong in front of him.

"Second brother! No matter what, she can't go!"

Wutong became anxious and took a step forward to grab Chiye's shoulders.

"You can't persuade her, Old Seven. She is the only thing Big Brother cares about in this world. Her personality is very similar to Big Brother's. Almost no one can persuade her to change her mind once she makes a decision."

A bitter smile appeared on Chiye's lips.

"Seventh Brother, in your eyes, she is the heir to the empire and the future of the empire, but in our eyes, she is our sister. When she called you Seventh Brother, didn't you feel a little guilty in your heart? She is your sister, Wutong, you used to protect her the most, what about now?"

"Second brother, I..."

Wutong was suddenly speechless.

"Seventh Brother, you have to remember that she has called you brother for sixteen years."

into the night.

Yingying held Xin Yixi's little hand and stood quietly on the top of Pingle Mountain.

Densely packed dark clouds covered the sky, the stars retreated behind the scenes, and only the moon occasionally shone through the clouds, casting a cool light.

"A dark moon is a murderous night, a high wind is a day for arson. Let's go. We have the right time, right place, and right people. There is no reason for us to lose."

In the dead of night, dozens of figures streaked across the night sky and flew towards Jade City.

Jade City.

Zhou House.

Wow!

"Boring, boring, let's all go out, we're tired of playing, there's nothing new to do!"

A child was sitting on the edge of the bed with a pout on his face. The broken pieces of tea sets were scattered on the ground not far away.

"Master, please forgive me, Master, please forgive me!"

Several maids stood aside in fear, not daring to step forward to clean up.

"Why don't you go out and find another girl to serve me! You are so shameless, no matter how old you are!"

The child's words were sharp and his eyes were full of disdain.

"Yes Yes."

Just as the maids were about to go out, they were stopped by the children.

"Hey! Are you blind? Don't you know how to clean up?"

The child grabbed the tea set on the bedside table and threw it angrily at the maids.

"ah!"

A maid was not paying attention and was hit hard on the head by the tea set. She screamed on the spot.

"You still have the nerve to shout!"

The child was about to continue throwing when he realized that he had run out of tea sets and pointed at one of the maids angrily.

"Go get me some more."

"Yes Yes Yes."

The maid cleaned up the remains of the tea set and left with the injured maid.

"You are such a slave. You always do things the same way. You have no originality at all. You deserve to be a slave!"

Children's cursing was heard again from the door, but the maids seemed to be used to it and numbly took the injured maid away.

"unacceptable!"

There were two black figures lying on the roof. They were Zhao Wanqing and Li Yichen who had sneaked in.

"Okay Wanqing, they may have been doing this for many years. Now it is no longer something we can solve. It is better to inform His Highness."

Li Yichen frowned and reminded in a low voice.

The situation here was beyond his ability to decide.

Zhao Wanqing nodded with a grim expression.

In Yucheng, the people in Zhou Mansion were arrogant and domineering, which refreshed her cognition again and again.

The eldest son of the Zhou family lived a life of debauchery every day. When he was in a bad mood, he would force his maids to drink. Almost every year, there were maids who died from alcohol poisoning or choking.

The little grandson of the eldest wife of the Zhou family was even more arrogant. He treated the maids as slaves and took it out on them when he was dissatisfied. He didn't care about his own importance at all.

The servants of Zhou Mansion relied on their jobs in Zhou Mansion and even ignored the guards of Yucheng. All of this happened without the city lord ever showing up.

"Where do you want to go, little friends? Wouldn't it be nice to go to the City Lord's Mansion with your uncle?"

The two were about to turn around and leave when a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind them and chuckled.

"Who?"

Zhao Wanqing and Li Yichen reacted very quickly, swinging their swords up and down behind them...

"They haven't come back yet?"

Zhou Wenxuan paced back and forth in the room. For safety reasons, Zhao Wanqing and Li Yichen didn't even bring the sound transmission stone. Now all they could do was wait.

"Wenxuan, this is not the first or second time they have done this. They haven't come back in two hours. They must have found something."

Liu Yunfan shrugged lightly, thinking that he was making a fuss out of nothing.

"How about we go take a look?"

Huang Siyuan was a little anxious. After all, he had been so tolerant of the Zhou family over the past few days that he was almost going crazy.

"No, the more people there are, the more likely it is that something will happen. Besides, we have more important tasks to do later."

Zhou Wenxuan refused without any hesitation.

"If I'm really worried, I'll go to Zhou's house to pick them up. Wenxuan, you and Huang Siyuan go to the City Lord's House."

Liu Yunfan thought for a long time and then made a suggestion.

"Okay, then, everyone take the voice stones and be careful."

After a fierce psychological struggle, Zhou Wenxuan finally nodded and agreed.

"Don't worry, you don't know my methods. If I want to run, no one can catch me."

Liu Yunfan patted his chest and smiled at Zhou Wenxuan.

Just as they were about to act, the sound transmission stone emitted a lavender light at an inopportune time.

"Your Highness."

Zhou Wenxuan picked up the voice stone and answered the call. Liu Yunfan and Huang Siyuan also consciously shut up and listened.

"How's the situation now?"

Yingying's cold voice came from the sound transmission stone.

"Your Highness, Huang Siyuan, Liu Yunfan and I are staying at the inn. Zhao Wanqing and Li Yichen have sneaked into Zhou's mansion to investigate, and they have not returned yet."

"How many hours has it been?"

"Two hours."

"Did you bring the sound stone?"

"No."

"You stay at the inn. I will be there soon."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

After putting away the sound transmission stone, Yingying felt more and more uneasy.

"What's wrong, Sister Ying?"

Xin Yixi was a little confused.

"Xiao Xi, let's do this later..."

Yingying whispered something in her ear.

"No, Sister Ying, this is too risky!"

Xin Yixi decisively refused.

"This is the only way now. Listen to me."
