Chapter Fifteen: The Raid on the Mansion Part Two

  Hehe... Yesterday, I received a friend request from the website editor, saying that this book can be signed now. I'm still a little excited in my heart, thinking that after signing, I must take it more seriously and keep writing. Making money is not important, but writing good articles to repay those who support me is what matters most. Okay, no more talk, let's get into the main topic.

  ………………

  Inside the main hall of Yang's residence, it was already deep in the night. Yun Qi stood inside the hall with his head lowered, his body trembling, and a fearful expression on his face. In front of him sat the master of Yang's residence, Yang Ziting, and his wife. Beside them, Yang Wenxin and Yang Wenguang were also seated there. Yang Wenxin had a worried look on her face, after all, a thief had entered their home, and she was afraid it might be unfavorable to their family members. On the other hand, Yang Wenguang had an air of boredom about him, yawning and stretching, detached from the situation, thinking that since he knew Yun Qi wasn't an ordinary person and was skilled in martial arts, perhaps this thief would still be chased away by him.

  Yang Ziting stared at Yun Qi for a long time before opening his mouth to ask, "Yun Qi, tell me the whole story of what happened."

  "Master, it's like this... I think I drank too much soup tonight and got up to use the restroom. As I lifted my head, I saw a black-clad person standing on Young Master's roof. I was so scared that I immediately cried out for help. The black-clad person saw me shouting and wanted to silence me, so he flew down into the courtyard. Luckily, I had learned some self-defense moves from Father since I was young, but the black-clad person's martial arts skills were too strong, and I couldn't resist. Just as I was about to be overpowered, the house guards arrived just in time. Seeing this, I hugged the black-clad person's leg tightly, disregarding my own life, hoping that everyone could work together to capture him alive... Alas..." Cloud Seven let out a sigh, then secretly glanced at everyone's reactions, and seeing that they were all listening intently, he continued: "Unfortunately, the black-clad person was too strong, and I couldn't hold on. He escaped, and I'm useless. Please, Master, punish me!"

  After Yun Qi finished speaking, Yang Ziting looked at his appearance and asked the few family members behind Yun Qi, "Is what Yun Qi said what you saw?"

  One of the servants stepped forward and bowed to Yang Ziting, saying respectfully: "Master, we were still sleeping at that time. Later, we heard Yun Qi shouting and thought something was wrong, so we quickly got out of bed, lit torches, and came to Young Master's courtyard. We saw Yun Qi fighting with a black-clad man at the time. After that, I don't know what the black-clad man did, but I only heard Yun Qi cry out loudly and fall to the ground unconscious. The black-clad man also ran away."

  Yun Qi heard what the family's Ding said, and was deeply grateful in his heart. Fortunately, he was facing away from them and they didn't see anything. If they had found out that he had seen the other person was a woman and had intentionally let her go, his responsibility would have been huge.

  Yang Ziting nodded in agreement with what Ding said and asked Yun Qi: "Is the injury serious?"

  Yun Qi saw Master's concern and hastily replied: "Thank you for your concern, I'm much better now."

  Yang Ziting said, "Yun Qiuhu has made a great contribution. Tomorrow, go to Guan's house and receive two silver coins to take good care of yourself." After finishing speaking, he nodded at Guan's family on the side.

  The housekeeper understood what was meant and looked at Yun Qi.

  As soon as he heard that there was money to be made, Yun Qi hastily expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, sir. As a member of the Yang household, I should always prioritize the interests of the Yang household at all times. This is what I should do."

  Yang Ziting's expression eased slightly, and after listening to Yun Qi's words, a smile actually appeared on his face. He said, "Alright. You can withdraw now and get some rest."

  "Yes! Master!" The crowd of servants thanked Yang Ziting and turned back to rest in their rooms.

  Yun Qi was also preparing to follow everyone back to continue sleeping, but then Yang Ziting shouted again: "Yun Qi, you stay behind."

  Oh! Buying cake! Don't you know that I was beaten up? Although it's fake, but at this time you should let me take a rest. But thinking about it, since I've been ordered to come, I couldn't disobey. So now I still have a bitter face, but when I turned around, I changed into a smiling face and respectfully asked: "Is there anything else the master needs from me?"

  "Yun Qi, at this moment there is no one else in the hall, have you discovered any characteristics of that man in black? Tell me." Yang Ziting said.

  "Yes! Old master, let me think for a moment." Anyway, can't say that the other party is a woman, or it will be laughed at if it gets out. Wait and think carefully to see if there are any other clues. Oh, right, don't know if having a big and firm chest counts as a clue. Hehe, thinking is one thing, Yun Qi doesn't dare say these things at this time.

  Time passed quietly, second by second. Yang Wenguan let out a big yawn, and Yun Qi's eyes lit up as if he had thought of something. He opened his mouth and said: "Sir, I apologize for my incompetence in not finding any obvious clues, but there is one thing that I do suspect."

  Yang Ziting was also a bit confused, but when Yun Qi said that, he suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly said: "You say!"

  Yun Qi said: "That's right, the floor of Young Master's house is also several feet high. In theory, ordinary people can't go up and down freely without relying on objects. But Xiao saw that black-clothed man lightly jump onto the ground, and when he left, he just gently pushed off the pomegranate tree and flew onto the roof like a bird. The tiles on the roof didn't even fall off under his weight, I don't know what kind of sorcery this person used."

  Yang Ziting thought that Yun Qi would say something earth-shattering, but it turned out he was just saying that the black-clad person's movement skills were good, which wasn't surprising in this era. So he said: "Oh, you're talking about qinggong. Your hometown might not have it, but here, among ordinary martial artists, there are some reclusive masters who live deep in the mountains and forests, can walk on rooftops and walls, and are as light as a swallow. Crossing rivers is also a trivial matter for them. Are there any other weaknesses?"

  Yun Qi was startled in his heart, as a special soldier, climbing onto a roof over two meters high was not difficult, but it had to rely on external force. Could it be that the ancient art of lightness really existed? He thought he should investigate further, maybe some master would see his exceptional talent and take him as an apprentice to teach him the art of lightness. When Yang Ziting asked again, Yun Qi pretended to think for a moment before responding: "Reporting to Master, I'm not skilled enough, I really can't see any weaknesses in that black-clad person."

  "Alright! You go down first then."

  "Yes! Sir!"

  Jian Yun Qi has left, Yang Zi Ting looked at his family members beside him and said softly for a moment: "After all, who will it be? I don't have any enemies in my daily life, so why would there be black-clad men visiting at midnight."

  Yang Wenjin was worried in her heart and couldn't help but say: "Dad! Nothing's wrong, is it?"

  Yang Ziting saw his daughter's concern and rarely showed a smile, saying: "Qiner doesn't have to worry, you can go back and rest early. Although I haven't achieved much in my life, I am guilt-free. Since ancient times, good has always triumphed over evil, that black-clothed person will surely come again. At that time, I must meet him and capture such a thief."

  On the other hand, in a residential house on the west side of the city...

  The room was lit with candles, and inside were two women, one of whom still wore a nightgown, but had removed her veil. If Yun Qi were here, he would surely be amazed. It seems that this era has many beauties, even a black-clad woman has the beauty to captivate cities and countries. The beauty's cherry lips, jade nose, long eyelashes under big eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, her beauty was in no way inferior to Yang Wenqin, and she had an additional air of cold elegance.

  At this moment, the woman in black was sitting on the edge of the bed, with a furious expression, and had already scolded Yun Qi's ancestors for eighteen generations: Hum! Shameless little thief, dare to touch my chest, really a big pervert, just looking at it is not something good, simply a lecher. Even a servant is like this, it seems that the master of the house is even more unbearable.

  A plainly dressed woman next to her asked worriedly, "Miss, they didn't discover it was you, did they?"

  "Don't worry, this lady's lightness skills are superb, and a small Yang Mansion is naturally easy to come and go. However, tonight was messed up by a lecherous thief. This lady will one day capture that lecherous thief and castrate him."

  At this time Yun Qi, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly felt a chill all over his body and couldn't help but shudder: Who's thinking of making a move against me in secret?!

  "What? A scoundrel? Then... then... Miss, did that scoundrel do anything to you?" After asking, she anxiously looked the black-clothed woman up and down from head to toe, worried that the scoundrel mentioned would commit some shameful act against her.

  The woman in black listened to a warm and gentle voice, saying: "Xiao Lan, don't worry, your family's young lady, my martial arts may not be the best in the world, but I'm afraid no one has been born yet who can take advantage of me." Although she said this, she was actually being hugged from behind, and thinking about it, her pretty face turned slightly red.

  Hehe, I originally wanted to finish the previous chapter and go to sleep, but after thinking about it, yesterday I only updated one chapter too. I said I would make up for it today, but I still failed to keep my promise. So I'll just post another chapter instead. Since these two chapters were written in the middle of the night, they haven't been edited yet. When daytime comes, I will definitely edit them carefully. If any readers see typos when reading, please add me on QQ and send me a screenshot of the error, so I can correct it promptly. This way is also more convenient for everyone.
