“Help! There's an assassin!”
“Catch the assassin!”
“Don't let the assassin escape!”
…
At this moment, a chaotic mix of shouting and fighting sounds came from outside the door.
Huang Rong opened the door and saw a dark figure being surrounded by the mansion's guards, fleeing towards the distance.
A Grandmaster Realm martial artist!
Seeing the dark figure, Huang Rong was startled!
“Rong’er, are you alright!”
Guo Jing, who rushed out of the room, saw that Huang Rong was safe and immediately chased after the dark figure.
“Whizz!”
Seeing Guo Jing pursue the dark figure, Huang Rong didn't hesitate and quickly followed using her light skills.
If not now, when?
Seeing Huang Rong leave, Jiang Chen hurriedly got out from under the bed, jumped out the window, and escaped. In his panic, he forgot to close the window.
“Whew!”
Leaving the courtyard where Guo Jing and Huang Rong lived, Jiang Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
His life was saved!
If Huang Rong discovered him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At this time, a group of guards approached.
“Where did the assassin go?” Jiang Chen asked calmly.
“Deputy Commander Jiang, the assassin went that way!” A guard pointed in a direction.
“Hurry and chase!” Jiang Chen said.
…
When Jiang Chen arrived, he saw a tall, fierce-looking old man with white hair, leading a young boy, confronting Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
The old man's clothes were torn and his hair was messy, but his eyes were sharp and piercing. The aura he emitted made everyone present feel an overwhelming pressure, making even breathing difficult.
The City Lord's Mansion guards, one by one, showed fear on their faces. Beside them lay the corpses of many guards, all killed by the white-haired old man.
Western Venom Ouyang Feng!
From the words of the guards, Jiang Chen learned the identity of the white-haired old man, and the young boy beside him was Yang Guo!
Ouyang Feng's eyes were sharp, and his mind was clear, he was clearly not insane.
“Ouyang Feng, let go of Guo’er, or I will not be polite to you!” Guo Jing shouted.
Although Guo Jing was not tall, his aura was steady, giving off a feeling of imposing presence that made people fearful.
“Haha! Not polite to me?”
Ouyang Feng sneered, “Guo Jing, Huang Rong, you killed my Ke’er. This blood debt, I will take it back from you sooner or later!”
“Ouyang Feng, Ouyang Ke brought it upon himself. Don't blame us!” Huang Rong said.
“Hmph, you don't need to make excuses. I will spare you for now!”
Ouyang Feng turned to Yang Guo, “My good son, let's go!”
With that, Ouyang Feng grabbed Yang Guo's arm and leaped, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.
“Jing gege, don't chase!”
Just as Guo Jing was about to chase after him, he was stopped by Huang Rong.
“Rong’er, why are you stopping me? Guo’er is still in Ouyang Feng's hands!” Guo Jing said anxiously.
“Jing gege, don't fall for his trick of leading you away! He is Guo’er's adoptive father and wouldn't harm him!” Huang Rong said.
Guo Jing thought Huang Rong's words were reasonable, so he gave up chasing and looked at a corpse next to him, “It's a pity that Mu Chong died at the hands of Ouyang Feng! Someone, give Mu tongling a proper burial!”
In the previous fight, Mu Chong was killed by Ouyang Feng with a single palm strike!
“Jiang Chen!”
Huang Rong looked around and finally her gaze landed on Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was startled!
Did Huang Rong sense something?
After all, Jiang Chen was still carrying two sets of Huang Rong's personal undergarments!
If Huang Rong discovered them, he would be finished!
“This subordinate is here!”
Hearing Huang Rong call his name, Jiang Chen stepped forward and answered with a stiff face.
“Jiang Chen, Mu tongling died in battle, you will now take over as the leader of the City Lord's Mansion Guard, responsible for the security of the mansion!” Huang Rong said.
“Ah?”
Hearing Huang Rong's words, Jiang Chen was surprised, but his heart was relieved!
False alarm!
So she was going to promote him!
He was scared for nothing!
However, Jiang Chen was a little puzzled. Why would Huang Rong choose him to be the leader?
The City Lord's Mansion Guard had one main leader and two deputy leaders.
Another deputy leader, Liang Tai, had been in that position for several years.
In terms of age, experience, and cultivation, he was more qualified to be the leader.
But why did Huang Rong choose him?
At this time, Jiang Chen felt a resentful gaze fall on him.
It was Liang Tai, the other deputy leader of the City Lord's Mansion Guard!
Liang Tai had originally thought that after Mu Chong's death, he would naturally become the leader. However, Huang Rong chose Jiang Chen as the new leader, which made him resentful.
“What? Are you unwilling?”
Seeing Jiang Chen's expression, Huang Rong was also surprised.
This guy, he seems distracted, he doesn't seem very willing to take over as leader!
“Madam, this subordinate is afraid that he is not capable enough to take on such a heavy responsibility...” Jiang Chen said with a bow.
To be honest, Jiang Chen didn't really want to be the leader of the guard.
Now, his only thought was to improve his cultivation as much as possible. If he became the leader of the guard, it would inevitably consume a lot of his energy and time.
“Jiang Chen, with Guo City Lord and me here, you don't need to worry!” Huang Rong said.
“Thank you for your kindness, Madam!” Jiang Chen quickly bowed and said.
Since Huang Rong said so, if he refused, he would be ungrateful!
“Jiang Chen, Xiangyang City has been a bit uneasy lately. You must strengthen the guard of the City Lord's Mansion!” Huang Rong said.
“Yes, Madam!” Jiang Chen replied.
