The originally noisy hall, after the man's hoarse and cold voice, everyone seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand. The noise stopped abruptly and the silence was so quiet that even a needle dropping on the ground could be heard clearly.

"Brother!" Jiang Qin's face was full of surprise, and he stepped forward quickly, "Brother, how do you feel?"

At this time, a mysterious man in black clothes and a mask appeared quietly.

He held the black robe embroidered with gold patterns that belonged to the head of the Jiang family in his hand, knelt on one knee, and handed over the robe respectfully.

Jiang Qin looked eager and wanted to go forward to help, but Jiang Mian raised his hand to stop him. He had no choice but to stand there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

Jiang Mian casually draped his robe over his shoulders. Upon seeing this, the Jiang family members around him became silent and dared not make a sound.

Jiang Mian is a man of deep scheming and ruthless means.

Those members of the Jiang family who had been bossing him around by relying on their seniority disappeared one after another for unknown reasons, along with their families. Even Jiang Qin, his brother, was somewhat afraid of him.

Jiang Mian slowly stood up from the couch, looked at Jiang Qin who looked anxious, and laughed softly:

"Tell me, what happened? Hmm!"

"Brother, that...the courtyard...collapsed." Jiang Qin secretly glanced at Jiang Mian's expression and said cautiously.

When Jiang Mian heard the news, he did not panic like other members of the Jiang family, but his face darkened slightly and became gloomy.

Before Jiang Qin could speak again, Jiang Mian's gaze turned to the masked man who was following him like a shadow and protecting him.

The masked man received his gaze and immediately bowed in response:

"Reporting to the master, after you were found lying in a pool of blood, the second master was worried about your safety. After discussing with the Jiang family members present, he sent Master Jiang and Master Mingli to the courtyard with your jade token to get the secret medicine. The courtyard is a restricted area, and it is inconvenient for subordinates to enter, so I don't know what happened inside. About half an hour later, the two masters came out from inside, supporting each other. Master Mingxin seemed to have internal injuries, and Master Mingli broke an arm..."

After hearing the masked man describe in detail everything that happened in the Jiang family after Jiang Mian fell into a coma,

Jiang Mingxin and Jiang Mingli's faces instantly became flustered and uneasy.

They had never expected that when the head of the Jiang family was seriously injured, his secret guards still had such tight control over the Jiang Mansion that they even knew their whereabouts.

"Well, then Mingli, come and tell uncle what you and your brother did in the courtyard?"

Jiang Mian looked at Jiang Mingli kindly, but Jiang Mingli inexplicably sensed a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. It was as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake. The icy pressure emanating from his body made Jiang Mingli unable to bear it any longer, and he fell to his knees with a plop.

"Uncle, please forgive me, uncle, I didn't mean to do that, I really didn't mean to do that! I just accidentally kicked a black stone into the pond in the courtyard, I didn't do anything else! I didn't know that it would cause the formation in the courtyard to collapse."

Jiang Mingli knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. His former arrogance and domineering look had long since disappeared.

Jiang Qin and his wife looked unhappy. Mrs. Jiang Er's eyes were filled with tears. She looked at Jiang Mian with pleading eyes:

"Brother, please forgive him this time. This kid acted so recklessly because he was worried about your health and took the risk to get medicine."

There was no expression on Jiang Mian's face. He walked straight to Jiang Mingxin, who was standing with his head down and silent.

"What do you say?" he asked softly.

Jiang Mingxin knelt down without hesitation and touched the ground with his head:

"It is all my fault that I failed to take good care of Master Mingli. It is my fault. I will bear all the consequences. I hope the master will forgive Master Mingli."

Jiang Mingli was stunned by Jiang Mingxin's words, tears flashing in his eyes. He looked at him with moved expression, and was stunned for a moment, forgetting to react.

"I will take all the responsibility?" Jiang Mian sneered, and suddenly changed the subject, "Even if it costs you your life?"

Jiang Mingxin's body stiffened for a moment, then he slowly raised his head and looked directly at Jiang Mian: "Yes, even if it means taking my life."

"Very good, then use your life as compensation." Jiang Mian's face became serious, and he raised his hand and waved, "Take him away."

"Yes, master." The masked guard stepped forward quickly, grabbed Jiang Mingxin and dragged him out.

Jiang Mingli slumped on the ground, watching Jiang Mingxin, whom he had always regarded as a thorn in his side, being taken away. He felt a mixture of emotions in his heart.

He opened his mouth and wanted to plead for Jiang Mingxin, but his throat seemed to be stuck with something and he couldn't make a sound for a long time.

At the same time, the courtyard was in a mess.

The lotus flowers in the pond, which were originally blooming beautifully, now seemed to have suffered a ruthless baptism from a fierce storm. The messy petals were scattered all over the ground, trembling in the raging wind.

On the black stone in the middle of the pond, the entangled red lines seemed to be cut in half by a sharp blade, and the broken red lines hung on the stone.

The strange thing was that a black viscous liquid slowly oozed out from the severed red threads, and the black blood slowly flowed down the stone.

"Tick-tick" it fell into the water of the pond, making a crackling sound like water splashing into an oil pan.

As more and more black blood dripped into the pond, a layer of black mist gradually filled the sky above the pond, and the water began to boil and roll, making a "gurgling" sound.

The lotus flowers, which were originally just a little wilted, suddenly became dry and shrunken.

In the mysterious black space, Xiao Mingjiang only felt that the whole space shook suddenly, and the lotus flower under him that was originally standing firmly began to tremble violently.

Xiao Mingjiang's face was filled with panic, and he clutched the lotus petals beneath him tightly with both hands.

As the colorful little ball in the air hit the golden light shield again and again,

Finally, a crisp "crack" sound was heard, and the golden light shield instantly shattered into countless small pieces, falling "patter" into the black lake water.

At the same time, the exhausted little dumpling fell straight from the air.

Xiao Mingjiang reached out to take it in a hurry. For a moment he even forgot that he was on the lotus flower and there was no protective shield around him.

Just as he was delighted about catching the little dumpling, he suddenly slipped and became unstable, falling straight into the black lake.

The little cub thrashed about in panic, and the animal in his arms slipped out of his hands.

"Ah! Tuan Tuan!" The little cub closed his eyes in fear, so he didn't notice that the colorful little ball suddenly burst out with a dazzling red light, which went straight into the flame-shaped mark between the little cub's eyebrows.
