The guard captain heard Xue Xing's roar and felt a chill of terror, with an urge to immediately run away.
Xue Xing vented for quite a while before finally stopping. In a deep voice, he asked, "Who were those two people?"
The guard captain steeled himself and replied, "Those two were wearing masks; your subordinate couldn't recognize them."
Xue Xing's voice grew increasingly cold, "What about their martial souls? What kind of martial souls did they have?"
"They… they didn't release their martial souls. They must be extremely powerful soul masters."
Bang! Xue Xing kicked the guard captain.
"Get out! Take people and search for them. Even if you have to turn the entire Heaven Dou City upside down, find those people for me!" Xue Xing roared.
The guard captain hurriedly fled, not daring to stay a moment longer.
Xue Xing stood in place, his face as gloomy as water. In his heart, he pondered who exactly had rescued those two guards.
It should be some of his usual opponents.
But how could the other party have infiltrated his mansion?
Why would they rescue those two guards?
Could it be that the other party had witnessed the entire process today and therefore rescued the two guards to strike at him?
Xue Xing instantly associated many possibilities.
It was as if in the unseen dark corners of his mansion, a pair of cold eyes was watching his every move.
The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became. A layer of cold sweat had already broken out on his back.
If that was really the case, wouldn't he be in mortal danger at every moment?
Who exactly was his enemy? To possess such means.
"Come!" Xue Xing roared.
Several guards hurriedly ran over.
"Clean up the corpses inside, help the Fourth Prince bathe and change clothes. Prohibit all suspicious individuals from approaching. As soon as the Fourth Prince wakes up, notify me immediately."
Xue Xing quickly made arrangements. The most important thing now was to ensure his own and Xue Beng's safety.
Even if those two rescued guards were never found, it wouldn't matter. As long as Xue Beng, the person involved, firmly denied the matter, those two would pose no threat to him.
Therefore, he must ensure that Xue Beng does not encounter any accidents.
Next, he summoned the mansion's physician and had the physician examine Xue Beng and prescribe medicine.
Problems like physical deficiency could only be regulated with tonic medicines prescribed by the physician.
Finally, he returned to his own bedroom, where guards were arranged to stand guard tightly around it.
He was truly afraid.
If Dugu Bo were still here, he would definitely be able to solve his problem.
He suddenly felt some regret for throwing Xue Beng into the stable in a fit of anger.
...
"They brought those two guards back," Jiang Chen said.
Salas stood up and walked outside.
"Lord Salas, do not let those two guards know our identities."
Salas nodded and quickly left to handle the matter of the two guards.
Qian Renxue smiled and said, "Don't worry. Old man Salas is meticulous in his work; his decades of life weren't lived in vain."
"I was overthinking it," Jiang Chen said.
Those two guards had already been knocked unconscious long ago. They would probably be secretly imprisoned and might be used later, or perhaps not.
Qian Renxue looked at Jiang Chen and said, "I didn't expect Xue Xing to be so ruthless and merciless. Even though Xue Beng didn't die, he still wanted to kill them to silence them. If Xue Beng firmly denies that Xue Xing did such a thing to him, then keeping these two guards won't be of much use."
Jiang Chen rubbed his brow and said, "Let's see how it goes. Xue Beng is now completely exhausted and extremely weak; there's a good chance he won't make it. If we can't finish them off this time, then next time. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"Mm." Qian Renxue responded, but her expression showed some regret.
Originally, their plan was only to have Dugu Bo repay Xue Xing's favor. What happened afterward was a surprise.
If Xue Beng really died, then they could take the opportunity to bring down Xue Xing, and no one would suspect it was a carefully designed scheme.
After all, throwing Xue Beng into the stable was truly Xue Xing's own suicidal act.
A moment later, Salas returned. After Qian Renxue gave a few more instructions, she and Jiang Chen departed.
Those two guards would be imprisoned in a secret room of the Spirit Hall, where no one could find them.
Jiang Chen and Qian Renxue returned to Xiao Ying's courtyard.
After instructing Jiang Chen to keep a close eye on Xue Beng's situation, Qian Renxue planned to return to the imperial palace.
She had been out for the entire day and needed to go back to inform the maids and guards; otherwise, if she didn't show up all day, those guards might think something had happened to her.
Before leaving, she thought of something else. She turned toward Xiao Ying and took out some small, personal undergarments.
Xiao Ying said, "Miss, once I've washed and dried them, I'll send them to you."
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. He chuckled and said, "Xue'er, why don't you let me wash them for you?"
Those were Xue'er's personal undergarments… the original scent… cough, cough…
"In your dreams."
"Pervert!"
The two girls spoke at the same time.
Qian Renxue glared fiercely at Jiang Chen and instructed Xiao Ying, "Keep a close eye on him and don't let him cause any trouble."
"Miss, rest assured. My combat strength has improved a lot recently," Xiao Ying said confidently, waving her fist.
It wasn't me who taught you… Jiang Chen was extremely speechless.
Qian Renxue left, refusing Jiang Chen's offer to see her off.
Jiang Chen glanced at Xiao Ying. Xiao Ying quickly hid those few small undergarments behind her back and looked at Jiang Chen with a vigilant expression.
Jiang Chen curled his lips and lightly leaped onto the roof.
Xiao Ying went to the courtyard and began washing Qian Renxue's clothes.
She looked up curiously and asked, "Brother, why do you have to cultivate on the roof every night?"
"My martial soul is rather special. Cultivating outside is faster."
"Oh, then what is your martial soul?"
"Zombie!"
"Can I see it?"
"You'll have the chance to see it in the future."
"Xiao Ying, about that method I told you before, have you been trying it every night?"
Xiao Ying let out a startled "Ah!" and nodded with a blushing face.
Jiang Chen sighed and said, "Just follow the method I told you. Don't press anywhere else randomly, or you might not be able to have children in the future."
"Ah… really?" Xiao Ying's face turned pale, feeling a bit panicked in her heart.
"Really." Jiang Chen nodded seriously.
"I didn't do it on purpose. I was just a little… yang." Xiao Ying lowered her head, like a little girl who had done something wrong.
Suddenly, she reacted and fiercely glared at Jiang Chen, scolding coquettishly, "Bastard! How did you know? Did you secretly watch?"
Jiang Chen felt guilty and quickly coughed twice to cover his embarrassment. "I definitely didn't watch on purpose. I just accidentally heard your voice and was worried you might press the wrong places, so I reminded you."
He really hadn't deliberately looked. He had only noticed last night that Xiao Ying's voice had suddenly become high-pitched, so he worriedly glanced over, just one glance.
Xiao Ying didn't speak. She was so embarrassed that she almost wanted to disappear into the ground. She hadn't expected Jiang Chen to have heard.
After hurriedly hanging up Qian Renxue's clothes, she hurried back to her own room.
Jiang Chen revealed a smile. Self-comforting behavior was not good; young people should focus on cultivation. That was why he had scared Xiao Ying a bit, to prevent this girl from getting addicted.
His gaze drifted toward the few small garments that had just been hung up below. Their size was clearly much larger than Xiao Ying's.
"Mm… about the same as Senior Sister's." Jiang Chen secretly compared them in his heart.
He withdrew his gaze and once again focused his mind on Xue Beng.
Various great tonic medicines were sent into Xue Beng's room and fed to him. Two maids were also attending to him.
The Sharp-Tailed Rain Swallow carried a few twigs in its beak and built a nest on the tree outside the window, monitoring at all times.
The outside of the house was heavily guarded; not even a fly could fly in.
Jiang Chen actually wanted to fly in and peck him to death, but it was somewhat risky since there were people both inside and outside the room.
