Afterward, numerous fully armed Personal Guards from the estate surrounded the manor, standing guard.
Meanwhile, Xu Lei, Young Master Zhao, and the Fourteenth Princess Consort were once again resting in the courtyard.
"Thank you for saving me, Hui Tan Living Buddha!"
The Fourteenth Princess Consort gave Xu Lei a deep, respectful bow. "If it weren't for you, Living Buddha, I might have died today!"
"Amitabha Buddha."
Xu Lei smiled. "There's no need for such formalities, Princess Consort."
"I came here at the invitation of Donor Zhao."
"If you wish to thank someone, it should be Donor Zhao."
"He was the one who accidentally discovered she was a Demon!"
"Besides, I had originally intended only to investigate the situation, not to alert her."
"Unfortunately, this Demon was too perceptive."
"She somehow sensed something was amiss."
"And she decided to strike first to kill us!"
"So, in reality, a good part of the Demon Consort's attack was aimed at me."
