A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 219 New Trouble

It was already noon the next day when Xuanyu rode back to Chaoyun City. As soon as she turned into the alley, she realized someone was following her. So she did not go towards the courtyard, but deliberately took a detour through several alleys and finally entered a dilapidated, abandoned house.

Following behind Xuanyu was Lao Zhou, who was sent by Mu Liang to Chaoyun City to find out about Xuanyu. He arrived yesterday and had no intention of entering the city, but suddenly he felt the urge to drink, so he went into the city and found a restaurant to relieve his urge to drink. However, he accidentally got drunk and missed the time to leave the city. When he woke up, the city gate had already been closed. Lao Zhou could only stay in the inn in the city temporarily and wait until the city gate opened tomorrow to go out. Unexpectedly, he saw Xuanyu entering the city when he just left the inn and went out of the city today. Although she was wearing a veil, Lao Zhou recognized the long sword in her hand at a glance. It was really a case of searching for iron shoes everywhere, but it was easy to get it.

Old Zhou followed Xuanyu around in the alley and felt dizzy. He was just complaining about the girl's ability to find a place when he saw her suddenly enter a dilapidated house. He hurriedly leaned against the door to check, but found it empty. He thought there was a secret passage inside, so he pushed the door open. As soon as he stepped in, a sword came straight at him. Fortunately, Old Zhou reacted quickly and hid behind the door. However, Xuanyu, who was ambushing in the house, took the opportunity to break out of the window and continued to swing the sword at the figure at the door.

Lao Zhou suddenly became playful, and when he saw Huanyu coming out, he rushed into the inner room. Huanyu's eyes darkened, and she also jumped in. The room was dimly lit, and Huanyu naturally did not recognize Lao Zhou. Lao Zhou smiled without saying a word, and started fighting with Huanyu with his fists.

"Mr. Zhou?" Although Huan Yu couldn't see the person clearly in the dilapidated house, she quickly became familiar with the other party's brutal and domineering boxing style, so she quickly stepped back a few steps and called out tentatively.

"Hey, Miss Xuanyu, how are you?" Seeing that he was recognized, Lao Zhou immediately retracted his fist, straightened his clothes and laughed at Xuanyu.

"Why did Mr. Zhou appear in Chaoyun City? And why did he follow Yanyu?"

Inside the dark room, Xuan Yu also put away her sword, narrowed her eyes slightly, looked vigilantly at Lao Zhou opposite her, and questioned in a cold voice.

Although this old Zhou used to be Li Yunye's driver, he is not an ordinary driver with extraordinary martial arts. Yanyu originally thought that he was hired by the Li family to secretly protect Li Yunye, but he was not present when the Li family was in trouble this time, and now he appeared alone in Chaoyun City, which made Yanyu suspicious.

"Hehe, Miss Huanyu, please don't misunderstand me. I, Old Zhou, have been traveling all over the world. Today I was just passing through Chaoyun City. I didn't expect to have such a chance to see Miss Huanyu. I wanted to follow her and say hello, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding." Old Zhou scratched his head and laughed again, feeling lucky that he was in this dark room and could easily hide his guilty conscience.

"What is the relationship between Mr. Zhou and the famous Li from Jiangnan?" Xuanyu sneered in the dark and continued to ask curiously.

"Hehe, previously escorting Master Li to Xiyue Kingdom was just a business deal with the shopkeeper Mu, who was famous for his business in Jiangnan. Now that the deal is over, it doesn't matter anymore." Old Zhou spread his hands as if he was relaxed and said with a smile.

"Oh, so that's the case. No wonder Mr. Zhou still has the leisure to come to Chaoyun City when the Li family is in trouble with bandits this time."

"What did you say? The Li family suffered from bandits? What happened?" Xuanyu's words shocked Lao Zhou, he widened his eyes and asked anxiously.

"Just yesterday, the Li family father and son were attacked by bandits from Jiugang Village on a mountain road in Jicheng. Both Master Li and the housekeeper died on the spot." Yan Yu sighed softly, and her eyes in the darkness inadvertently revealed sadness. Thinking of the pain that Li Yunye experienced yesterday, her brows involuntarily frowned again.

"What? How could this happen..." Old Zhou was shocked and angry at first, and then he couldn't help but sigh, but then he asked nervously: "Where is Mr. Li? How is he?"

"Mr. Zhou has nothing to do with the Li family, so why bother asking so many questions..."

"Well, to be honest, although I have no connection with the famous Li from Jiangnan, I have been friends with Manager Mu for many years. I am naturally worried about what happened to his family. I hope Miss Xuanyu can tell me in detail. I have to hurry back to Liangdu to inform him." Old Zhou was extremely anxious at this time. He had no mood to continue fooling around with Xuanyu, so he stamped his feet in anxiety without waiting for the other party to finish speaking.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou. Young Master Li is fine. He is just too sad and suffered from the cold of ice and snow. He should be escorted back to Qile City today by An Yun and others." Hearing the other party's anxious tone, Huan Yu let down her guard and told the truth. She naturally hoped that Mr. Zhou could return to Liangdu as soon as possible to inform Li's adopted son, Mu Liang.

Once Li Xingyuan dies, the Jiangnan Famous Li Family will surely fall into chaos. Although Li Yunye is the young master of the Jiangnan Famous Li Family, his prestige is far less than that of his sworn brother who manages four shops alone in the capital. Therefore, the one who can stabilize the overall situation may have to be the adopted son of the Li family. Fortunately, Mu Liang has always been grateful to the Li family, so Xuanyu is not worried that Li Yunye will be bullied.

"Thank you for telling me." As soon as Xuan Yu finished speaking, Lao Zhou ran out of the dark room and soon disappeared.

After Lao Zhou left in a hurry, Xuanyu sighed and then walked out of the dark room.

"Girl, you're finally back!"

When Xuanyu returned to the courtyard, Hongnu, who was anxiously working in the house, immediately showed joy and came forward to greet her.

"What's wrong?" Yan Yu asked hurriedly.

"The leader sent a message by carrier pigeon." Hongnu also hurriedly handed the creed in his hand to Yanyu.

Huanyu opened the creed and saw that the sect leader was indeed asking her about the progress of Jiangnan Mingli's mission again.

"Girl, what should we do? I'm afraid we can't delay the mission of this famous Jiangnan man, Li." Hongnu frowned and sighed worriedly.

"No need to delay any longer. The famous Li family in Jiangnan is about to be in chaos." Yan Yu placed the creed in her hand into the stove, looked at the slowly rising flames, and said lightly.

"Could it be that the girl was a step too late, and the father and son of the Li family have been killed by Zhao Changhe and the bandits..." Hearing the girl's words, Hong Nu was suddenly shocked. She looked at the girl worriedly and asked in a low voice.

"It was Li Xingyuan who died, but I saved Li Yunye." Xuan Yu said calmly, still staring at the charcoal fire in the stove.

"Well, that's true. With the departure of Mr. Li, Young Master Li doesn't look like someone who can take on responsibilities. I'm afraid the famous Li family in Jiangnan will be on their last legs." Upon hearing that Young Master Li was fine, Nunu Hong felt relieved and secretly felt lucky for the girl.

Xuanyu said nothing more, but she was troubled by a new problem. This time the leader asked about the mission of the famous Li family in Jiangnan, and she could take the opportunity to say that she secretly asked Zhao Changhe to collude with the Jiugangzhai bandits to attack the Li family. After all, the left guard had reported Zhao Changhe's cooperation with her, so the leader had already known that Zhao Changhe was the blade of revenge in her hands, and she would not doubt it.

However, if the Sect Master knew that Li Xingyuan was dead, he would definitely ask her to speed up her actions to completely destroy Jiangnan Famous Li. Now Jiangnan Famous Li was in Li Yunye's hands. If she took action again, she would be directly opposing him. Thinking of this, Yan Yu's heart ached.
