As soon as he finished speaking, two figures suddenly appeared from the previously deserted mountain and walked towards the corpse of the hungry wolf.

"Master really does have a good technique."

Gu Ling Xue curled her lips, ignoring the hidden guard's praises as she walked towards the edge of the mountain alone.

It was the same scenery as before, the green mountains and the water, but time and space had changed.

Gu Ling Xue was dazed, and thought back to the past.

She stood on the edge of a cliff that also had mountains and rivers, and she had a completely different frame of mind.

In just a few months, everything had changed.

Suddenly, the sounds of footsteps came from behind him, but Gu Ling Xue did not care, as he continued to reminisce about the past.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed and stung her eyes.

Gu Ling Xue's body tensed up as she habitually reached out his hand and lifted it. She could not see the person behind him, so she could only ask the air in front of him: "Who are you?"

After a long while, the person behind him replied, "A crime of trespassing into a manor is a capital offense!"

Hearing this reply, Gu Ling Xue heaved a small sigh of relief.

It seemed that she was only a Keeper at the bottom of the mountain of the Villa, and she was wondering who it was that wanted to assassinate her.

Due to him being nervous as an arms boss for more than ten years in his previous life, Gu Ling Xue had already gotten used to being assassinated and being followed. However, when he thought about it, he felt that the person behind him was just a hidden guard that he had sent out just now.

Gu Ling Xue secretly chided herself for being careless, and started to think about how she should speak.

However, as he spoke, the short sword behind him trembled, then it slowly left.

Gu Ling Xue turned around and placed her hands on his waist, then looked at Keeper.

At this time, the originally arrogant Keeper suddenly withered. Raising his hands, he loosened his grip on his dagger and threw it to the ground. The guard behind him pointed his sword at Keeper's neck and asked: "Master, what should we do?"

Gu Ling Xue looked at the two people behind him who found it funny and could not help but say, "The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole."

When the Keeper heard this, he became a little angry from embarrassment. He slightly leaned his shoulder forward and a bloody wound appeared on his neck. The guard warned, "Don't move!"

"Good, good, good." The sudden stabbing pain in his neck reminded Keeper of his current situation. He had no choice but to lower his head and say, "If you want to kill or cut me, that is up to you."

Gu Ling Xue stood in front of Keeper, supported her chin with the blade, and forced Keeper to look at him face to face, then asked: "Tell me the exact location of Jubilee House, and I'll spare your life."

It had been two days since they entered the mountain, but no matter how Gu Ling Xue tried to search, he could not pinpoint the exact location of the Jubilee House. It was obvious that the Jubilee House was protected by something.

"What Jubilee House, I don't know."

Keeper's body looked small, but he had quite the courage. The knife was already at his neck, but he was still being stubborn.

Gu Ling Xue raised his eyebrows and said: "I have all sorts of ways to make you speak."

Immediately after, Gu Ling Xue walked towards the place where she had defeated the hungry wolf without even looking back, and said to the hidden guard: "Take him away."

When he returned to the place he was previously at, the other shadow guard had already ripped apart the meat and placed it over the fire. Seeing Gu Ling Xue and the rest were back, the shadow guard immediately stood up and bent down, "Master."

"Right, what are your names?"

Only then did Gu Ling Xue remember that these two guards had followed her for half a month, and she still did not know their names. It was really awkward.

"Little An Ying, that is An Tian." An Ying who was standing beside the fire replied.

Gu Ling Xue nodded her head, her eyes sweeping across the bonfire and the fragrant meat on the bonfire, Gu Ling Xue suddenly had a flash of brilliance, and thought of a plan.

"Bring them here." Gu Ling Xue indicated with her mouth towards An Tian, indicating him to bring Keeper to the bonfire.

"What's your name?"

"Pui, why should I tell you?" Keeper obviously did not know what was good for him, he spat at Gu Ling Xue and turned his head to the other side.

Gu Ling Xue raised his index finger and shook it, then slowly said with a gentle voice: "As a person, you must be courteous."

"However, I can teach you."

A cruel smile flashed across Gu Ling Xue's beautiful face, but it quickly disappeared. Keeper saw the flash of cruelty in Gu Ling Xue's eyes, but he did not take it to heart.

"Let me warn you. If I die, my Fate Stone will disappear. Master will definitely send a disciple down the mountain to capture you. So, if I die, you won't live either. "

Gu Ling Xue nodded in deep thought, she still maintained a faint smile on her face and replied: "Don't worry, you won't die."

Hearing this, Keeper heaved a sigh of relief, secretly praising himself for his ability to adapt.

He really did scare them.

"However." Gu Ling Xue stared at her like a wolf staring at its prey, "You will live a life worse than death."

Each word was as loud as a bell hitting Keeper's heart. Keeper still had not understood the meaning of Gu Ling Xue's words, he then heard Gu Ling Xue say: "Take off his shoes."

Everyone present did not understand what he meant, it was just that the master had ordered them to do it, so they did as they were told. Thus, An Ying squatted down and took off Keeper's shoes, and in that instant, a strange stench spread in the air.

An Ying frowned, she stood up and quickly threw Keeper's shoes to the side.

Glancing lightly at the barbecue on the fire rack, An Ying felt some regret in her heart.

Gu Ling Xue wrinkled her nose, she realized that she had been infected by the stench of Keeper's feet, so she waved her hand and fanned the air in front of him, then squatted down to pick up a burning wooden stick and said: "This is my last chance, speak, or don't you want to speak?"

Keeper obviously could not understand Gu Ling Xue's intentions, and was curious about her actions, but she did not let her guard down.

Gu Ling Xue looked at Keeper who looked like he was about to die, and felt that it was a pity.

If this person was loyal to him, he could be trusted quite a bit. However, he was someone else's lackey.

Gu Ling Xue handed the wooden stick to An Ying, signaled him to press Keeper well, and then ordered: Burn!

Without hesitation, the burning wooden stick directly struck at Keeper's foot. At the same time, Keeper let out a blood-curdling screech that shook the skies and scared all the birds and beasts within three kilometers of him.

Gu Ling Xue quietly waited for a moment, seeing Keeper trembling uncontrollably, but his upper teeth were still tightly biting his lower lip, trying to control himself and not make a sound.

Seeing that, Gu Ling Xue looked over, and instantly understood what Gu Ling Xue meant.

With one hand, An Ying took off the shoes and socks of the other leg of Keeper. An Ying turned around and quickly grabbed a burning wooden stick, and at the same time, roasted the bottom of both of Keeper's feet.

As the flames continued to burn, the heart of the foot that was protecting it began to burn as well.

Keeper's shoulders, which were slightly trembling, suddenly shook violently. Then, he lost control of himself and tried to struggle free from An Tian's control.

"Kill me." The trembling voice squeezed out of his throat.
