Chapter 63 - Dinner and shadows under the starlight

Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Madam Wang could not help but reveal a worried expression, "The Jianghu is slow, and is filled with danger. Although I can temporarily protect Yuyan, I can't protect her forever."

Afterwards, Madam Wang looked at Ling Xiao, and said with a serious expression: "Sect Master Ling, I see that Yuyan has a good impression of you, you seem to have a good impression of my daughter, I hope that Sect Master Ling can help me with something."

There was no need to think about it, Ling Xiao could easily guess Madam Wang's thoughts just because he wanted to entrust Wang Yuyan to him.

Towards such a likeable girl, Ling Xiao had no reason to reject her.

"Madam Wang, please tell me. I will definitely be able to help." Ling Xiao replied.

Hearing that, Madam Wang heaved a sigh of relief, smiled and said: "This matter is not difficult for Sect Master Ling, I have long heard that Sect Master Ling is powerful, and would not meet any adversaries in Jianghu, so I hope that Sect Master Ling can bring my daughter out to gain some experience, if you feel that there is fate, it is also a good thing for us to get along."

Hearing that, Ling Xiao laughed helplessly, he did not expect Lady Wang to be so direct, to actually bring up marriage affairs.

I can also understand Madam Wang's worries. Bringing Yu Yan along to explore the world is not a problem, it's just that after leaving the Mantua Villa, I will be responsible for her safety. Ling Xiao said with a slightly serious expression.

When Madam Wang heard this, she thoughtfully nodded her head and said: "Sect Master Ling is right. In Mantua Villa, everything is decided by me, even if my daughter is doted on by me, she would not dare to disobey me. However, if she goes out, then things will be different.

"This is what I'm worried about." Ling Xiao nodded.

"Regarding this problem, rest assured Sect Master Ling, I will definitely explain it clearly to her. I will absolutely not bring his any trouble." Madam Wang said earnestly.

With that, Madam Wang personally poured Ling Xiao another cup of scented tea and sat back in his seat, staring at the scroll in front of his for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and released her inner force, causing it to shatter into pieces.

Looking at the shattered scroll, Ling Xiao did not have much of an expression on his face. He understood the reason behind Lady Wang's actions.

In the end, she was born in the Jianghu, so Madam Wang's thirst for powerful martial arts did not decrease, but instead grew stronger and stronger. Unfortunately, Ling Xiao was not willing to share the microstep and the microstep, so this scroll had lost its meaning.

But to Madam Wang, this scroll symbolized hope, and naturally made her want to give up on food and tea. It wouldn't be excessive to call it an addictive object, but it was better to destroy such a poisonous substance.

"It seems that Lady Wang has made up her mind." Ling Xiao took a sip of the hot tea and laughed.

When her mood calmed down a little, Madam Wang raised her head and said: "Today, after listening to Sect Master Ling's words, I understood a lot. If I were to go into this muddy water, I'm afraid that I will have to implicate this huge Mantua Villa."

"It's good that Madam Wang can understand it. You must have a great reputation in the Jianghu for you to be able to create such a beautiful place, why must you go against martial arts. Although it's the Jianghu, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to dance with swords and play with spears." Ling Xiao laughed.

When Madam Wang heard this, she cupped her hands and said, "I've learnt my lesson!"

After that, the two of them chatted a bit more about the Mantua Villa. Ling Xiao was a little angry, and Madam Wang was also very happy. After all, this place was where she spent all his time and effort to make people ask about it, it was also due to the respect they had for her.

Unknowingly, it was already close to dusk, so Madam Wang requested for Ling Xiao to stay the night.

Ling Xiao nodded his head: "That's good too, the air here is fresh and fresh, I presume it would be a good night's sleep."

"Yes, I also hope that Sect Master Ling can like it here." Madam Wang laughed.

At this time, Wang Yuyan ran over and said that she had already prepared dinner.

The place where he was going to eat was in the middle of a sea of flowers.

After enjoying the delicacies, Madam Wang brought Ling Xiao to the living room she had arranged for him.

The room was cleaned, but there might be no one staying all year round, so the furnishings inside were not many, and some of them were simple, but Ling Xiao did not care about all of these.

After a simple wash, Ling Xiao sat cross-legged on his bed and meditated. This would ensure that he would have sufficient mental energy to handle all kinds of things the next day.

But not long after, Ling Xiao suddenly opened his eyes. He felt a shadow flash past the door, and even though it was fleeting, it was still caught by Ling Xiao.

The two figures did not stop, which meant that they were not here to look for Ling Xiao.

The Mantua Villa lived in seclusion, so there shouldn't be any enemies, which meant those two should be inside.

His heart was filled with suspicions, so Ling Xiao decided to go out and take a look.

Activating the lightness exercise, Ling Xiao soundlessly flew out of the window.

Not long after, Ling Xiao caught up to the two men.

Borrowing the bright moonlight, Ling Xiao could clearly see the faces of the two people, they were actually A Bi and Ah Zhu.

The microstep was activated and dozens of afterimages appeared around the two, forming a circle and blocking their path.

Seeing Ling Xiao in front of him, A Bi nearly screamed out in fear, but Ah Zhu reacted quickly and covered his hands with them.

"Where are you two going so late at night?" Ling Xiao asked with a faint smile.

"I, we can't sleep, come out for a walk." Although Ah Zhu looked very calm, judging from her trembling voice, it was clear that she was extremely nervous.

He didn't know why, but when Ah Zhu saw Ling Xiao, he felt so nervous that he couldn't even breathe, as if a huge pressure was pressing on his body. Maybe Ling Xiao's extraordinary insight had made her unable to hide anywhere.

"It's the middle of the night, so I should be feeling tired. If it's just a walk, then why are you sneaking around like that? I thought there were thieves coming. Why are you taking a walk like this?" Ling Xiao heard and asked coldly.

Hearing this, A Bi's legs went soft and she almost fell to the ground. If not for Ah Zhu who was supporting him from the side, she would have already fallen to the ground.

Ah Zhu's expression was also extremely ugly. One had to know that this was Lady Wang's territory, so they would definitely not be able to take responsibility if they were to hear of Lady Wang's sneaky movements in the middle of the night. This was because they did not belong here, but because of Lady Wang's kindness, they had the chance to step into the Mantua Villa.

When he thought about being expelled by Lady Wang, Ah Zhu's legs went soft and couldn't help but shiver.
