Chapter 464: Learn to protect yourself

Therefore, trusting them is the most foolish choice; even the Red-Clad young lady in front of him might be involved.

However, her current performance doesn’t seem to indicate that. Either she truly isn’t aware, or her acting skills are so superb that she even fooled herself.

But in that short moment, Liang Yu noticed something amiss when he looked at the two of them; he felt as if he were an unnecessary third wheel.

The Red-Clad young lady was at an age where she was just beginning to feel love, and she hadn’t expected to encounter someone like Hui Nian, especially since he was from the Zen Sect.

The young lady’s gaze towards Hui Nian was so intense it could almost spin silk. Liang Yu felt he couldn’t stay any longer, so he quickly explained the situation to Hui Nian.

After explaining everything, Liang Yu completely ignored Hui Nian’s furious gaze, abandoning him directly and running off after throwing out a single sentence.

“I’ll come find you tomorrow. Take care of yourself. Your master told me to relay to you that male disciples must learn to protect themselves when out and about.”

Before he could even finish speaking, Liang Yu’s figure vanished, leaving only Hui Nian in deep thought. He believed his master’s words surely held a deeper meaning.

After Liang Yu left, he found a place to conceal himself. He had not left the mansion.

Liang Yu, filled with curiosity, wandered around, as he currently had no leads. He figured he might as well start by investigating this mansion.

Soon, he saw a group of people gathered in a large open space, seemingly all servants of the mansion.

By the time Liang Yu walked over, the crowd had already dispersed. Liang Yu leisurely followed behind the slowest-moving servant.

Following this person, he didn’t choose to go far; instead, the servant led Liang Yu towards a corner.

At this moment, in a corner not far away, two figures had not yet fully departed, conversing in low voices, occasionally glancing around vigilantly.

Liang Yu approached with the man, pricking up his ears, and vaguely heard phrases like “confidential” and “important figure.”

Liang Yu’s lips curved upwards, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He had been troubled by this matter, completely clueless on how to find those Black-robed Men.

Although he could find them by using the token, it would also alert them. He hadn’t expected that the conversation of these few people would be like timely rain, providing exactly the information he needed.

Not long after, the people here dispersed. Liang Yu followed behind one of them. This person had just mentioned that the mansion’s Steward Fei was looking for him, so Liang Yu followed behind.

Servants might not know much, but as a mansion’s Steward Fei, he was naturally more trusted by the master than these servants and surely knew more things.

After parting ways, the man hurried his steps, while Liang Yu, as usual, leisurely followed behind, maintaining an appropriate distance.

In the dim corridor, only the man’s footsteps echoed in the silence.

The man turned a corner and entered a relatively narrow passage.

Liang Yu quickened his pace, peeking around the corner to confirm the man was still ahead.

Finally, the man stopped in front of a carved door and gently knocked.

The door opened quickly, and an old man with white hair but a vigorous spirit appeared at the doorway. From his appearance, he was clearly the Steward Fei.

And the servant’s subsequent words also confirmed his identity.

He saw the man bow respectfully and say,

“Greetings, Steward Fei.”

“I have already completed the task you assigned. Those people are currently being held in the woodshed.”

Steward Fei nodded, looking quite satisfied, but still asked,

“Was it not discovered by the Third Young Lady?”

Hearing his words, Liang Yu vaguely guessed what this was about.

At this moment, the servant replied,

“Replying to Steward Fei.”

“The Third Young Lady went to the Second Young Master’s place after learning that he had brought two more men back, so she should not have discovered it.”

Steward Fei nodded, still looking quite pleased. After giving the man a few instructions, he turned and left.

Liang Yu naturally abandoned the servant and followed behind Steward Fei.

The surrounding scenery gradually became desolate, and the occasional human sounds disappeared completely, leaving only the rustling of wind through the grass.

The path underfoot became increasingly rugged, overgrown with weeds, as if rarely trodden.

Liang Yu was curious why this Steward Fei was walking in this direction.

Finally, Steward Fei stopped in front of a dilapidated small courtyard.

The courtyard walls were crumbling, and a few withered tree branches crisscrossed, exuding an indescribable eeriness.

It was completely unlike the buildings in that luxurious mansion. Liang Yu grew even more curious about Steward Fei coming here.

Liang Yu stopped several meters away from Steward Fei, watching his every move intently.

He saw Steward Fei turn and call out towards the empty space behind him,

“Come out, friend. I know you’re following.”

These words sent a shiver down Liang Yu’s spine.

He could hardly believe it—his invisibility had been discovered?

No!

Liang Yu quickly came to his senses. This old man was trying to trick him. If he had been discovered, the other party would have already acted against him and wouldn’t waste words.

To be safe, Liang Yu teleported to a nearby rooftop, watching Steward Fei below.

Seeing no one, Steward Fei then added,

“Your Excellency, since you refuse to show yourself, do you wish for this old man to personally invite you out?”

After he spoke, Steward Fei waited for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Seeing no one appear, he grew somewhat angry.

He was originally short-tempered, though he had reined it in somewhat in recent years. Now, the other party’s blatant disregard made the flames of anger burn fiercely in his chest.

He saw his face darken, and without warning, he struck out with a palm wind.

The palm wind, carrying a fierce force, rushed forward like an enraged beast, and where it passed, the air was compressed, hissing.

Just as the palm wind was about to hit the stone wall in front, a shadowy figure, like a ghost, flashed out from the nearby darkness. The newcomer’s speed was incredibly fast, his hands moving like phantoms, instantly neutralizing Steward Fei’s palm wind.

Steward Fei was slightly taken aback. He focused his gaze and saw that it was a Black-robed Man, with eyes as sharp as an eagle’s and a hint of a provocative smile on his lips.

Liang Yu hadn’t expected someone to truly be following behind him, and this person was precisely the Black-robed Man he had been searching for so diligently.

He hadn’t activated his Emperor Magnetic Field after entering the mansion, so his perception wasn’t strong, and he hadn’t noticed being followed. It was fortunate that he was in an invisible state, otherwise, he truly would have been stabbed in the back.

Liang Yu also noticed the surprise on Steward Fei’s face at this moment, but this hint of surprise quickly vanished.

Then he saw him bow respectfully to the Black-robed Man.

“Fei has seen Your Excellency. May I ask what brings Your Excellency here?”

Steward Fei’s posture was very humble, leaving no room for fault, as, on the surface, this Black-robed Man was, after all, a guest here.

However, the Black-robed Man didn’t think so, marveling at Steward Fei’s demeanor.
