Hey, you are reborn too?

Xie Shian was trembling all over and raised his eyes with difficulty to look at Venerable Longyin. At this moment, he could only hope that Venerable Longyin had no interest in Yulanzhi.

"Magnolia branch?" The handsome young man tilted his head and looked at Xie Shian, his voice still calm, "General Xie, is what this person said true?"

"Yes," Xie Shian said, even though he was extremely reluctant, he could only smile and said, "Your Excellency, there are indeed magnolia branches in this wooden box."

Seeing Xie Shian's bitter face, how could Venerable Longyin not understand.

"General Xie," the handsome young man still had his sword stuck in the masked man's neck, but his eyes were fixed on Xie Shian, "What do you want this magnolia branch for?"

"Your Excellency, please allow me to report this." Xie Shi'an bowed his hands, made up his mind, and closed his eyes. He thought that it would be bad for him to deceive the Venerable Long Yin, and he could not afford the consequences of deceiving him, so he could only speak out his true thoughts. "In a month, it will be the birthday of my beloved daughter. My daughter has always loved all kinds of herbs, so I thought of giving this thing as a birthday gift for my daughter."

As he spoke, Xie Shian observed the expression on Reverend Long Yin's face, his heart in his throat.

After he finished speaking, Xie Shian let out a breath and consoled himself silently in his heart.

Although this magnolia branch can revive the dead, turn bones into flesh, and has miraculous medicinal effects, but... compared with his life and the lives of everyone in the general's mansion, it becomes insignificant.

Forget it, Xie Shian raised the corner of his mouth slightly and smiled miserably. It was worth it to exchange a magnolia branch for the lives of dozens of people in the general's mansion.

Thinking of this, Xie Shi'an turned around gently, took the wooden box from Wang Bo's hand, walked slowly towards Venerable Longyin, and presented it with both hands.

The wooden box was shaking.

"Who said I want this thing from you?" The handsome young man didn't even reach out to take it. Instead, he leaned back slightly with a smile on his face. "General Xie, you should keep this magnolia branch for yourself as a birthday gift for the daughter of the Xie family."

Hearing "keep it for yourself", Xie Shian's nose was sore and he almost cried. He thought that he could not keep the magnolia branch no matter what, and was going to give it away.

Unexpectedly, Venerable Longyin did not covet the magnolia branch, but let him keep it for himself!

"Thank you, Your Excellency," Xie Shi'an's eyebrows relaxed, and the corners of his mouth turned up. This time, he was really happy. "Today, I am all thanks to Your Excellency for helping me. I will never forget your kindness. If you need me in the future, just order me to do what you want!"

"Okay," the handsome young man's eyes sparkled, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "You said it, see you later, don't cheat on me."

"Of course," Xie Shi'an clasped his fists, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, "A man of honor should stick to his word. If Your Excellency asks for anything in the future, I will do my best to help you!"

"Okay, I feel relieved with General Xie's words," the handsome young man seemed a little impatient and raised his chin, "Then this person..."

Xie Shian looked at the young man's expression and said with great insight: "As for this masked man, let Your Excellency deal with him. I have no objection to your decision."

A cold light flashed, and the masked man's head fell to the ground instantly. His eyes were still wide open, as if he was still looking at something, whether it was fame or profit, at this moment, it had nothing to do with him.

The blade of the Dragon Roar Sword was stained with blood, and it began to tremble slightly as if it was excited.

The force of the strike just now was so great, or perhaps the Dragon Roar Sword was really sharp, and with a "puff", blood gushed out from the masked man's neck.

A lot of blood splattered on the handsome young man's black clothes, dyeing the dark color even darker, and even the golden pattern on the collar was soaked and stained with an ominous blood color.

The handsome young man had no expression on his face, and his eyes were as cold as a devil. A little blood was hanging on his chin, like a red plum blossom blooming on the white snow, making his handsome face look particularly weird.

Seeing that look, Xie Shian's body trembled violently, and every inch of his skin trembled. Somehow, that cruel look reminded him of the Dark Night Wolf King for no reason, and his teeth couldn't help trembling.

"Thank you, General." The handsome young man raised his head slightly, made a sword flower with his left hand, and put the Longyin Sword back into the scabbard steadily. He was not very particular and bowed his hand slightly. "Please clean up this bloodstain. It's late at night, and I can't stay in the general's mansion for long. Sorry for bothering you."

Only then did Xie Shian notice that the young man was wielding the sword with his left hand.

"Oh, OK," Xie Shian raised his hand and saluted respectfully, but suddenly looked up, as if he remembered something, "Please stay, Your Excellency!"

Venerable Longyin stopped and asked, "What?"

"Just now I heard Your Excellency call this masked man 'a mere leader'," Xie Shian saw the young man's pupils narrowed, and he didn't know whether he should ask further. However, he was very curious about the identity of the masked man, so he gritted his teeth and said, "May I ask, Your Excellency, do you know the identity of the masked man?"

"I said I don't know," the handsome young man relaxed his brows and laughed, "Do you believe it?"

Xie Shian was stunned.

"Don't believe it?" The handsome young man blinked. The dark room was dim at the moment, which perfectly concealed the emotions in his eyes. "Then I will tell you the truth."

Xie Shian's eyes lit up and he leaned forward slightly.

"The Kung Fu used by this masked man seems to be from the Ghost Sect," the handsome young man pointed at the feet on the masked man's torso, "I think Brother Xie has also noticed that this man's footwork is strange. He must have practiced leg Kung Fu. The footwork he just used is unique to the Ghost Sect."

The handsome young man paused, and the corner of his mouth suddenly curled up: "But the sword technique in his hand seems to be created by Xuantian Sword Sect."

"So, Brother Xie, do you understand what's going on?"

"I am stupid," Xie Shian racked his brains but couldn't figure out what the relationship was between Xuantian Sword Sect and Ghost Sect, so he could only shamelessly ask for advice, "Please enlighten me, Venerable!"

"Actually, this matter is quite simple. It's just that the two sects have colluded with each other," the handsome young man raised a finger and put it together with another finger, "and then joined forces to bully your General's Mansion."

"Why?" Xie Shian understood, but still had many doubts. "I have never had any grudges against Xuantian Sword Sect and Ghost Sect. Why would they break into the General's Mansion at night?"

The handsome young man pointed at the wooden box in Wang Bo's arms, and said helplessly: "Brother Xie, the man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. You have such a treasure in the general's mansion, how can others not come to rob it?"

"Your Excellency is right," Xie Shian's mind also came to its senses at this point, "Thank you for clearing up my confusion."

"It doesn't matter."

The handsome young man was very proud. He nodded slightly to accept Xie Shi'an's thanks, then he stepped forward and jumped onto the wall of the general's mansion. After a few changes of his figure, he disappeared into the night.

A dark place in the general's mansion.

A man wearing a silver mask, upon seeing Venerable Longyin coming towards them, quickly shrank back, fearing that he would be discovered and silenced.

Fortunately, Venerable Longyin just glanced at it and did not check it carefully, otherwise his life would be in danger.

The man adjusted his mask and pressed his hand against his chest, as if he had just recovered.

Fortunately, I did not take action first, but let the leader of the Ghost Sect test the waters first. Otherwise, I would be the one to die under the Dragon Roar Sword tonight.

Looking at the young man's figure going away, Xie Shian narrowed his eyes. It seemed to be the direction of the imperial palace. Moreover, it was very close to the residences of the concubines in the harem.
