C16 There Was a Sect Leader in the Family

As soon as Chen Xiaowu and Red Jade arrived at the entrance of Lee's Mansion, they saw a few unfamiliar guards standing on both sides of the door with short knives in their hands.

Although they were suspicious, Chen Xiaowu didn't dare to delay and immediately went forward to ask the guards.

"Why are you here? Where are the guards from before?"

When the guards saw Chen Xiaowu ask this question, they were obviously uncomfortable. They could not help but touch their heads.

"Er... Master," Chen Xiaowu said. Those brothers got married not long ago and went back to their hometown."

Chen Xiaowu held the hand of the red jade and pretended not to know. He smiled at them.

"In that case, thank you for your hard work. In the future, I will increase your wages."

Hearing that they were going to increase their wages, the eyes of the guards suddenly lit up. It was as if Chen Xiaowu was walking in silver. "Thank you, master," Chen Xiaowu said.

Chen Xiaowu nodded at them, then walked into Lee's Mansion with Red Jade.

Red Jade saw Chen Xiaowu's pale face and asked in a low voice, "Little Yu, what's wrong with these people?"

Chen Xiaowu stole a glance at the few guards. He knew that these people were replaced by the previous guards. They deliberately disguised themselves and waited here.

"I shouldn't have brought you back to Lee's Mansion. I really didn't expect that those assassins from the Xiao Mansion would actually come and catch a turtle."

Red Jade felt uneasy, her palms were covered in cold sweat, "Then what should we do now?"

Chen Xiaowu quickly tried to calm her down.

"Don't panic," Chen Xiaowu said. "Hide when we get to the garden. I'll take care of the rest."

"Then won't you be captured by the assassin?" Red Jade said in surprise, "Xiao Yu, you still have injuries on your face. How can I let you guard the back for me?"

"Red Jade, wait for me to finish."

Chen Xiaowu tried his best to keep his hands and feet steady so that he wouldn't expose his fear in front of Red Jade.

He took out the letter that Mo Yan had written in advance, handed it to Red Jade and instructed in a low voice.

"We are still unclear about the current situation. Those people are targeting me. If you manage to escape this calamity, go to the Imperial Army's General Lin Residence and pass this letter to him."

Red Jade received the letter and was at a loss as to what to do. "How does this make..."

Chen Xiaowu did not have time to talk. When they reached the corner of the garden, he pushed Red Jade to the corner. "Quick, hide!"

The red jade could only do as he was told. It found an opening mechanism in the corner, and with a stretch of its body, it instantly fell into a secret room.

Seeing that Red Jade was safe and well hidden, Chen Xiaowu felt more at ease. He quickly left the garden and walked to his own courtyard.

Unexpectedly, there was a figure leaning against the small courtyard in the courtyard. He could not see the front clearly.

Chen Xiaowu nervously swallowed his saliva. He stopped and stared at the figure vigilantly.

"Why are you chasing me? Even if you kill me, it will not benefit the Xiao Family."

"The Xiao Family?"

The man leaned to the side. His red hair was casually scattered on his shoulders, reflecting the sunlight. The outline of his face seemed to be coated with a layer of gold, as if he had just woken up. There was a hint of charm in his eyes.

"Previously, I was kind and spared that old man's life. Unexpectedly, he did a bad thing today and let you come and disturb my clear dream."

Chen Xiaowu had never seen the person in front of him before. However, with such an otherworldly and flamboyant appearance, he did not seem to be a kind person.

"Who are you?"

The man raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chen Xiaowu indifferently. He looked annoyed.

"I should be the one asking you this. Those idiots at the door actually let someone else in. They are getting bolder and bolder."

Only then did Chen Xiaowu come to a realization. "So those people are all your subordinates!"

It had only been half a month since they left, but the Lee's Mansion had actually become someone else's residence. Chen Xiaowu could not help but feel angry.

"This residence belongs to my Li family. In other words, I am the master of this family."

The man's expression suddenly changed. He probed again. "Oh... you are Lee Yuhan?"

Chen Xiaowu nodded and admitted, "Yes, I am. I don't know why you have intruded into Lee's Mansion. Aren't you afraid that the soldiers will find you here?"

When the man heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. His red hair looked bright under the sunlight.

"Officers? Lee Yuhan, I don't think you have figured out the situation. Half a month ago, you went to Suzhou. I made a mistake and killed another officer. "

At this point, the man stood up and walked in front of Chen Xiaowu, sizing him up carefully.

"Now that you've walked into a trap, you've saved me a lot of trouble."

"Could it be that you're someone sent by leader of the Martial Arts Alliance?"

"I don't like State Advisor," Chen Xiaowu said. "Please let me go."

This person could not help but snort coldly. His sharp nails rested on Chen Xiaowu's shoulder and sank deep into his skin. It was so painful that Chen Xiaowu tried to dodge in panic.

"Who would believe what you just said? If you hadn't provoked leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, my brothers wouldn't have died in the wilderness."

Chen Xiaowu held his bleeding shoulder and took a few steps back from the man.

At this time, Chen Xiaowu suddenly remembered that he had heard from Xiao Yan that leader of the devil Cult was born with red hair.

"You, you are... leader of the devil Cult, Yann Mei!"

Yann Mei bared his bloodthirsty fangs. His eyes were full of arrogance. He looked at Chen Xiaowu like an ant, small and weak.

"Lee Yuhan, have you chosen how to die?"
