Only now did Zhuang Shili collect his emotions and lazily leaned against the back of the chair. His deep black eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp killing intent.

"How's the investigation going yesterday?"

Dragon One immediately bowed and reported with a serious expression.

"According to our investigation, that person might be someone from the family that we've met in the largest organization in the Empire of Xu!"

"See the family?"

Zhuang Shili toyed with the empty wine cup in his hand as a pair of vicious and malicious eyes reflected off the cold surface of the glass.

Although the Dragon Gate was the boss of the sect, not all sects were willing to follow it. As long as they didn't go against the Dragon Gate, he allowed them to exist independently.

Knowing that his boss was already angry, Long Yi continued.

"Now that I've seen the previous head of the family pass away, the eldest son, Yuanyi, and the second son, Yuejin, engaged in a fierce battle for the position of the leader. That person should be from Liyunyi, because his methods are always ruthless and shameless!"

"And seeing that Jin is fair and square, but because he has a weak pedigree and has recently disappeared, I heard that he was chased by those people, so this matter shouldn't be done by Jing."

After muttering to himself irresolutely, Zhuang Shili curled his lips into a faint smile.

"Find the brocade immediately and say that our Dragon Gate is willing to support him in taking the position of the leader. I want to let the world know that if we provoke the Dragon Gate, it would be a fate worse than death!"

That faint voice was filled with a frightening killing intent and ruthlessness.

"Yes!" "Boss!"

Dragon One answered with a hundred times more energy. Once he saw Yang Yi, he reckoned that this time, he would die miserably. Suddenly, he remembered something …

"Oh, that's right, boss. Mu Rong Hai and Long Ying have been taken away by the people from the State of Yue!"

"En!"

Zhuang Shili merely snorted and didn't say anything else. He had never tolerated traitors like these, but... in the end, he still coldly instructed them.

"Let Xiehan come into contact with the State of Yue and see if he can save their lives!"

"Boss, why did we save them?"

Long Yi was somewhat puzzled. Although Long Ying was their brother and sister, betraying the Dragon Sect was not allowed by anyone.

"The old man will feel heartache!"

Zhuang Shili knitted his thick eyebrows and said in a deep voice.

The old man treated her like his own granddaughter, and he also knew that the old man had always wanted him to marry Long Ying. If he did not use his family hatred as an excuse to marry Long Ying, the old man would have probably forced him into the church long ago.

When Mu Rong Hai betrayed him, it was the old man who begged for mercy, so he let him go. Although Long Sheng had the ability, it was because he was too lenient and lenient that the dragon gate had never expanded.

Ever since he and the other three young masters took over the Sect of Dragon, the old man's way of doing things had completely changed. His ruthlessness, Gu Mo Cheng's wisdom, Ji Chen Hao's agility, and Quan Tiansheng's sabre were all scoffed at by outsiders.

However, everyone was wrong, moreover ridiculously wrong. In the underworld, he was the one in charge, protecting the territory, and expanding his power was not something an ordinary person could handle. And the minds of the three people on the white road were unstoppable.

Just as he was reminiscing about the past, his phone suddenly rang to pull his thoughts back. However, the number displayed on the phone made his face turn as cold as an ice-cold cellar.

"Butler Xu, I think you can pack your things and leave today!"

"Young master, I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have disturbed you, but Miss Lin suddenly had a high fever this morning and was unable to retreat. I don't know what to do …"

Steward Xu's panicked voice came from the other side.

"What?" A high fever and no retreat? "

With a low growl, he stood up from his chair with a whoosh. His ice-cold face cracked open, revealing a trace of nervousness.

"Yes …" "Yes, I went to wake her up in the morning to have breakfast, but she was already unconscious …"

Housekeeper Xu was so anxious that he was about to cry.

In the morning she had waited half the day for her to come out for breakfast. When she came to the room, she found her curled up in a cold sweat under the quilt.

"Cold... So cold... "I'm so cold …"

She also didn't know how to contact Long Yin, who came and left without a trace, and this was Zhuang Shili's residence, which was extremely secretive, so it was impossible for her to get a doctor from outside to treat her.

"You take care of her first, I'll go back immediately!"

After hanging up, he hurriedly stood up and instructed Long Yi.

"Call Long Yin right now, get him to the mansion within ten minutes!"

After saying that, he grabbed the key and rushed out.

When he rushed back to the residence, Long Yin had just arrived. After seeing her condition, Long Yin said to him with a serious expression,

"It seems like the infection is the cause of the fever!"

Zhuang Shili stood on the edge of the bed with a cold face, staring at the unconscious person and roaring angrily.

"How did the wound get infected?"

"This kind of wound would definitely itch. Maybe I accidentally scratched it while I was sleeping!"

Long Yin spoke with a matter-of-fact tone as he glared at him.

"Why didn't you stop her? Weren't you with her last night?"

Long Yin had said that he would not return last night, so Zhuang Shili immediately turned his head away in embarrassment. That damned stupid woman!

Why can't you take care of yourself? Could it be that he had to watch over her every inch of the way?

The dragon's roar continued to resound from there.

"She doesn't have any experience with injuries, don't you? Since you're still letting her stay here by herself, you might as well send her back to the academy city and let her fend for herself! "

Zhuang Shili turned around and left the bedroom with an ugly expression. From behind him came the worried sigh of a dragon.

"Sigh, this girl's physique is so weak. If I give birth to a child in the future, I need to take good care of myself. Otherwise, the child might not be safe!"

He paused as he strode away. Child? Why did that damnable Long Yin say something about children, making his heart go cold for a moment. He was always so careful, it was impossible for her to conceive him. Since his physique was weak, it was even more impossible for her to conceive him!

Cold! So cold!

Autumn Leaf only felt a bone-piercing coldness penetrating her skin, slowly devouring her consciousness. She seemed to return to that rainy night when the cold rain poured down on her. Her lips turned purple from the cold, and her face turned pale, but she could not fall down.

"Sis!" "Sister!"

The cold autumn crying face suddenly appeared in front of her. She quickly wiped away the tears on her face and stretched out her arms to hug him.

"Don't be afraid of Liangqiu, elder sister is here!" Sister is here! "

Her thin arms flailed wildly in the air, but she couldn't grab anything.

From the moment of her first gibberish, when he was sleeping beside her, he woke up, turned on the light, and stared at the pale, trembling face. He reached out and took her waving arm in his big hand, then clasped his sweaty little hand in his own.

His sudden approach seemed to have calmed her down, but soon after, she burst into tears again, murmuring in pain.

"Doctor, please save my parents. They clearly promised to bring me and Liangqiu to the amusement park this weekend. How could they die? You must have seen wrongly …"

"Wuuu …" "You must have seen wrongly, Mom and Dad aren't dead yet …"

She curled up to protect herself.

"Autumn Leaf …"

Zhuang Shili called to her softly, her painful helplessness stabbing at his eyes and stirring his cold heart.

The last time it had rained on her, he hadn't known what had happened to her, so he had only felt worried and nervous by her side then. Now that he knew about the terrible experiences of her childhood, and now that he looked at her now frowning and miserable, he felt a pang in his heart.

For the first time, he wanted to embrace a woman in his arms. He wanted to love her dearly so that she wouldn't suffer. He wanted to let her live in peace, so that she would have nothing to rely on.
