It was an old man in a grey robe. His age was indiscernible, and he looked amiable. No matter how you looked at him, he didn't look like someone from the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade.
But it was Gray Robe, whom Yang Cheng hadn't seen for a long time.
After Lin Zhiguo left, this old man from the Group of Eight had been staying in Yan Jing to take care of the Lin family that was gradually declining.
Yang Cheng guessed that if it wasn't for the fact that the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade didn't have enough manpower, they wouldn't have asked him to come.
"Young Master Yang is really advancing a thousand miles in a day, you can't be compared to the past!" Gray Robe laughed.
Yang Cheng frowned, "That's weird, why can't I see through your cultivation?"
The Gray Robe in front of him was very different from the one he had seen in the past. However, Yang Chen couldn't tell what was strange about him. He couldn't see through him.
Gray Robe smiled, "It's normal for an old man to have some realizations. When it comes to cultivation, it is inevitable that everyone has their own understanding of it. It is not difficult to conceal one's cultivation. "
Yang Cheng nodded. Gray Robe was too lazy to probe further, "Follow them if you want to keep an eye on the Sword in the Stone, I have to go home for dinner."
Gray Robe called out to Yang Cheng just as Yang Cheng was about to enter the house with Hsiao Chih-ching.
"Young Master Yang, aren't you curious about where the people of the Sword in the Stone are heading to right now, since they left in such a hurry without saying anything?"
"What does that have to do with me, as long as it's not at my house." Yang Cheng said nonchalantly.
Gray Robe chuckled, "I received news ten minutes ago that the third generation of Camarilla's Blood Clan, Prince Udinese from the Bruch clan, has found the location of the Magical Girdle using the Demonic Blood Detection Spell and is heading there with his men."
"Just get to the point, why are you telling me this?" Yang Cheng turned around.
Gray Robe sighed, "The target is at Nanshan in Zhonghai."
Yang Cheng's heart skipped a beat!
Nanshan?!
Wasn't that where Lin Ruoxi was now?!
At this time, Lin Ruoxi had most likely returned to the villa. If a large-scale fight really broke out there, even if Nanshan wasn't the only mountain, it was still a mountainous area with a radius of tens of kilometers. It was hard to guarantee that it wouldn't be affected!
Yang Cheng made a prompt decision and said to Hsiao Chih-ching, "Qing-er, you go back first and tell your mother not to wait for me. I have to go take a look."
Hsiao Chih-ching also understood the urgency of the matter and nodded seriously.
Yang Cheng gratefully said to Gray Robe, "Thank you for telling me. I'll treat you to a drink or two when I'm free."
"Go quickly. Although he's not of the Lin family's blood, he's still a child that we watched grow up," Gray Robe said meaningfully.
Yang Cheng didn't say anything more, and his figure instantly disappeared from where he was.
Gray Robe stood there and looked at the dark sky from afar. Suddenly, a strange and evil smile appeared on his face …
…
Nanshan Villas.
Because they were in the mountains, the air was exceptionally cold.
The heater in the house was on, making every corner feel warm and pleasant.
Lin Ruoxi walked out of the bathroom slowly, wearing a pair of panda slippers and a thick white sleeping gown. She went downstairs to the living room and turned on the TV.
After turning on the TV, the woman was too lazy to choose a channel. She subconsciously lowered the volume, then sat on the sofa and picked up her phone.
On the phone, there was a read message, which made Lin Ruoxi hesitate and bite her lips.
"Child, I'm in Beijing. I don't know how you and Yang Cheng are doing. I'm too embarrassed to say sorry to you in front of you, but I asked Yang Cheng to return the Fengxiang bracelet to you. I hope you can forgive me for being too eager to love my son.
Lanlan is having a good time with her great-grandfather in Beijing, but she misses her parents and wants to go back to Zhonghai before Christmas. If you're willing, give me a call or text back to make an appointment so that I can pick up Lanlan at the airport. "
Guo Xuehua's message had already been sent in the afternoon.
However, Lin Ruoxi still hadn't decided how to deal with it.
Lin Ruoxi's mind was filled with thoughts, and she could almost hear Lanlan calling out "Mommy" in a cute voice.
Thinking of her daughter, Lin Ruoxi couldn't control herself and her eyes turned red. After all, they hadn't seen each other for a few days, and she missed her a lot.
At this point, everyone was at fault. However, if this continued, it would be too heartless for the child to have no parents.
Lin Ruoxi pondered for a moment before dialing Guo Xuehua's number.
After a while, Guo Xuehua picked up and said with a smile, "Ruoxi, are you off work?"
"Yeah …"
"Just in time. We're also eating. Let Lanlan talk to you first?" Guo Xuehua seemed very natural and didn't look like she had just resolved the conflict.
Lin Ruoxi had to admire her mother-in-law. In fact, she was very thoughtful and resourceful. With just a few simple words, she resolved the awkwardness.
Suddenly, Guo Xuehua's bitter laughter came from the other side …
"Ouch! Little ancestor! Wipe off the oil on your hands and then take the phone! Ouch … Grandma will give it to you. Don't be anxious! Don't fall … "
Yang Gongming's laughter was mixed on the side, which seemed to be happy and harmonious.
Lin Ruoxi burst into laughter. She knew that Lanlan was in a hurry to talk and grabbed the phone with her greasy hands.
"Mom! Lanlan misses you … "
Lanlan finally grabbed the phone and shouted in a sweet voice.
Lin Ruoxi's nose was a little sour. She restrained herself and said with a smile, "Mom misses Lanlan too. Baby, do you want to go home?"
"Yeah! Lanlan has eaten a lot of roast duck. Lanlan doesn't want to eat anymore. I want to go home. Mom will pick up Lanlan, okay … "
Listening to her daughter's naive words, Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but feel extremely satisfied in her heart and kept agreeing.
After talking for more than ten minutes, she reluctantly said goodbye and made an appointment with Guo Xuehua to send Lanlan back to Zhonghai before Christmas. At that time, Lin Ruoxi would pick her up.
From beginning to end, Guo Xuehua didn't mention whether she would go back to Zhonghai or not, which made Lin Ruoxi relieved. After all, even if she was not angry with Guo Xuehua, she would still feel awkward when she saw her in a short time.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Ruoxi got up and went to the kitchen. Although she was not very hungry, she had to eat something. After learning cooking from Mother Wang for a long time, it was easy for her to make some simple dishes by herself.
But when she walked a few steps, she heard the doorbell ring.
Lin Ruoxi walked to the door and turned on the video device. What appeared on the screen were the faces of several strange white men.
The man in the lead had silver hair, a long face, pale but delicate skin, and his eyebrows were full of arrogance.
An ominous premonition arose, and Lin Ruoxi hesitated whether to call the police or not. These people were dressed in retro clothes, all black cloaks and leather jackets. No matter how she looked at them, they didn't look like good people.
But before Lin Ruoxi could think about it, the silver-haired man suddenly showed a disdainful smile, stretched out a hand, and gently touched the safety door in front of him …
"Bang!!!"
The specially-made protective door at the entrance was like a fragile paper door that could not withstand a gust of wind. It was actually shaken open by a strange force!
Lin Ruoxi was shocked and quickly ran a few steps, looking at the men in black who walked into the house one after another in panic.
The silver-haired man glanced at Lin Ruoxi. When he saw Lin Ruoxi's pink neck, his eyes slightly paused, and a touch of greed flashed in his eyes.
"You … Who are you!?" Lin Ruoxi tried to calm herself down.
No one answered, and the silver-haired man ordered in ancient English, "Around this house, inch by inch! Quick! "
"Yes!!"
The group of black-clothed men were like several black whirlwinds, moving extremely quickly in the entire room, like many black shadows!
Lin Ruoxi looked at the mess in the house, and her face was drained of blood from anger, but she didn't dare to make a sound.
Just at this moment, a strange laughter came from outside the house, and several figures descended like night demons, teleporting into the house.
The man in front had long black hair tied into a ponytail, and a handsome face. He looked around twenty to thirty years old, and his suit was embroidered with retro golden patterns.
"Udinese, thank you for your Demon Blood Detection, it saved us the trouble of searching." The man teased.
The silver-haired Udinese didn't find it strange at all, "What a dog-like nose, Heinholtz. Why are only the Lesen people here, where's Raphael?"
Heinholtz laughed sinisterly, "We don't need our leader to deal with you guys, we must get the Magical Girdle!"
