“This lord will follow.” Demon Lord originally intends to go, but at this time, he was in a bad mood and wanted to vent it. It can be said that Nannuo Li was just unlucky.

“Alright, I’ll arrange it.” Su Cha didn’t say another word. He doesn’t want to stay any longer. He turned around and went outside, but he didn’t forget to close the door.

After Su Cha left, Demon Lord put his hand on top of the table. He loosens his grip and the grumbled letter roll back and forth to his hand.

Looking at the letter on his palm, Demon Lord shook his head: “To marry a child, this lord is stupid.”

Lin Chujiu was ten years younger than him. If Lin Chujiu is not a child, then what is she?

Demon Lord slowly and elegantly unfolded the letter. He looked at the slightly childish written above. The more he looks at it, the more Demon Lord couldn’t help but compared Lin Chujiu to a… …

After a column stick of incense, a knocking sound sounded again. But this time, Su Cha didn’t come in even knocking for three times. Su Cha said from outside: “You can go!”

“Mmm.” Demon Lord gently responded. His voice was not loud, and he was obviously far. But Su Cha felt like as if Demon Lord said it next to his ears. He couldn’t help but scratch his ears.

My ears are so itchy!

Tonight, the sky has no moon, it was dark everywhere. It is a good time to kill people and set fire.

Demon Lord with a bloody red cloak blended himself into the night. But, no one still notices him. His flashing figure was something ordinary people can’t afford to see. Luckily for them, they cannot see his scary mask.

There were not many people Su Cha arranged. There were only 30 of them. They ran outside the capital like a ghost. In a blink of an eye, they figured disappeared.

Su Cha yawned and flicked his ring finger… …

In the middle of nowhere, a shadow guard appeared and knelt in front of Su Cha. Su Cha didn’t look at the person, he only said: “Go and stare at the Tiancang Pavilion.”

As an answer, the shadow guard immediately disappeared.

At the Xue Mansion in the East Country, when Xue Chengwen read the letter in his hand, his eyes flashed with a trace of difficulty. He got up and sat down, got up and sat down again and again… …

Xue Chengwen, who was struggling inside his heart, hesitated to go outside with the letter. Instead, he walked through the long corridor to the southernmost courtyard of the Xue family.

In that courtyard, his grandfather lived.

“Grandfather…” Xue Chengwen went to the inner room and respectfully greeted the old man on the bed. Even if the old man couldn’t see, Xue Chengwen didn’t dare to be impolite.

“What is it?” The old man’s majestic voice passed through the curtained bed, making people involuntarily nervous.

It was not his first time to see Xue Laotai alone, but Xue Chengwen was still nervous and had a cold sweat.

His throat got dry, Xue Chengwen swallowed his own saliva and said: “Grandfather, Nannuo Li may have an accident.”

“Accident? Who asked him to fight with Xiao Wangye.” The old man’s voice was chilling up to the bones. Xue Chengwen understood the meaning of such a simple sentence.

His grandfather refused to confront Xiao Wangye for Nannnuo Li.

He was already expecting this answer, so Xue Chengwen was not disappointed. He just buried his head and said with a low voice: “This grandson understand.”

Xue Chengwen never looked up since he came inside. Even when he was retiring at this moment, he still bowed his head.

Bowing his head, he may seem like a weak person but also can hide the sadness in his eyes.

His grandfather only had the Xue family in his eyes. No matter how much he valued his grandson, no matter how much he valued Nannuo Li. Once something unprofitable to Xue Family happened, his grandfather will not hesitate to abandon them!
After leaving the South Courtyard, Xue Chengwen took a long breath and summoned his own confidant. He asked him to send 300,000 silver coins to the Tiancang Pavilion. As for the Nannuo Li, who was in the mountains outside the capital?

Xue Chengwen looked at the dark night outside and slowly closed his eyes… …
