Perhaps they would even fearlessly storm the Regent's mansion!
Until his suspicions were verified, Gu Xiaofeng was still useful.
Perhaps he could truly become a sharp weapon in his hands!
Meanwhile.
Within the heavily guarded Regent's mansion, guards patrolled everywhere as per Zhan Ming's orders, leaving no stone unturned.
They were more cautious than usual,
keeping a close watch on every movement within the Regent's mansion.
Two figures moved like ghosts within the Regent's mansion, undetected by anyone.
Jing Heng asked Yun Shu in a low voice, "Why insist on saving someone who is unrelated?"
Yun Shu couldn't explain that it was because of a dream, or that some wire in her brain had short-circuited, constantly urging her to save the child.
So she said, "To do good deeds and perform good acts!"
Jing Heng looked unconvinced but didn't ask further. Perhaps the master had discovered the child was wealthy and thus decided to help.
In any case, he would do as the master commanded.
Yun Shu surveyed the Regent's mansion, and had to admit it was truly vast.
About the same size as the Night King's mansion.
However, in terms of guards, the Regent's mansion and the Night King's mansion were incomparable.
The Night King's mansion had a hidden guard, whose martial arts were extremely profound and unfathomable. She didn't have complete confidence in defeating him when they clashed.
But in the Regent's mansion, she and Jing Heng had been here for so long, searching for Zhan Ming's room, and yet, no one had discovered them. In that amount of time, in the Night King's mansion, she would have been found already.
Suddenly.
They heard a sound.
It was Zhan Ming and Gu Xiaofeng talking.
"Did you remember what this king said?" Zhan Ming asked Gu Xiaofeng.
Gu Xiaofeng lowered his head, secretly clenching his fists. He thought of his adoptive mother, who desperately wanted to marry his adoptive father.
He could only clench his hands.
The little head nodded, "I heard. I will listen to my adoptive father. Please, adoptive father, don't break off the engagement."
He couldn't imagine how sad his adoptive mother would be if the engagement was broken off! He didn't want his adoptive mother to be sad!
If his adoptive mother was sad, he would be even sadder.
Zhan Ming was satisfied with Gu Xiaofeng's obedience. He smiled and nodded, "Very good. As long as you are obedient and always listen to your adoptive father, your adoptive father will also treat your adoptive mother well."
Yun Shu raised an eyebrow slightly.
If the adoptive father was Zhan Ming, then the adoptive mother was... Yun Yueyin?
From Zhan Ming's words, the child didn't want his adoptive mother to be hurt by Zhan Ming, which was why he listened to Zhan Ming.
However, with Yun Yueyin's ambition and cruelty, would she be good to a child born to someone else?
A few days ago, Zhan Xiaoli had chased after Yun Yueyin's carriage and was met with Yun Yueyin's scolding.
This matter was definitely not that simple.
Yun Shu grew suspicious.
"You can sleep in my room tonight. Go on, go to bed," Zhan Ming said to Gu Xiaofeng.
Gu Xiaofeng was filled with fear of Zhan Ming at this moment. He wanted to retreat, "I want to sleep in my own room."
"Right here," Zhan Ming said impatiently.
The poisoned wound was still excruciatingly painful even after applying medicine.
Even though he had just taken a pill to inhibit the spread of the poison, he could already feel his arm growing weak.
Gu Xiaofeng gritted his small teeth and walked to the bedside, lying down.
Zhan Ming glanced at Gu Xiaofeng, "Close your eyes."
Gu Xiaofeng closed his eyes.
After all, he was just a child. Although he had been frightened all night and heartbroken, the moment he closed his eyes, he couldn't help but fall asleep.
However, even in his sleep, he curled into a ball, adopting a posture of constant defense and readiness to counterattack.
Alas, he was only four years old.
His strength was so weak.
Hearing Gu Xiaofeng's steady breathing, Zhan Ming glanced at him.
He muttered in a low voice, "He looks more and more alike."
Standing outside the door, Yun Shu confirmed that only Zhan Ming and the child were inside, and then whispered to Jing Heng, "You provide backup from the shadows. I'll go save the child."
"Understood."
Inside the room, Zhan Ming frowned as he stared at the wound that was still bleeding.
He was calculating the time, wondering if he could wait for the divine physician.
It seemed he would have to resort to other methods! Cut off the poisoned flesh!
Just as he picked up a knife to cut the flesh.
The door was suddenly pushed open.
"Great..."
The next moment, a thick smoke wafted in.
The moment Zhan Ming smelled the smoke, his body immediately lost all strength.
But Zhan Ming had clearly experienced similar situations before and reacted quickly, taking out a pill and swallowing it.
The lost strength returned.
Yun Shu's gaze turned cold. This was beyond her expectation; he was always prepared!
She swiftly threw two hidden weapons towards Zhan Ming.
Zhan Ming narrowly dodged them.
"It's you! You have the audacity to sneak into the King's mansion! This King wants to see what kind of beauty the Night King cherishes! This King will take your life right here tonight!" Zhan Ming was enraged.
His angry shout startled Gu Xiaofeng awake.
It also alerted the guards on patrol.
Yun Shu and Zhan Ming exchanged a few blows.
Zhan Ming was injured, and although his martial arts were profound, he was no match for Yun Shu.
On the fourth move, Yun Shu didn't want to waste any more time and threw a punch.
Zhan Ming was sent staggering back several steps.
Looking somewhat dishevelled.
Even more shocked!
Her martial arts were actually superior to his!
Far above his level!
While he was stunned, Yun Shu grabbed the dazed Gu Xiaofeng into her arms and could only whisper to comfort him, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you away!"
Gu Xiaofeng was still groggy.
"Guards! Seize her! Dead or alive, this King wants her unable to leave the Regent's mansion!" Zhan Ming's eyes were filled with malice and burning rage.
In his mansion, someone dared to injure him and try to snatch his adopted son?
Seeking death!
Zhan Ming, who was usually calm and composed, had lost some of his reason under the assault of rage and embarrassment.
The mansion guards heard the commotion and approached.
Suddenly, a dark shadow emerged from the darkness, blocking their path.
This person was like an envoy from hell, exuding no aura of life, but rather a dense aura of darkness.
Decisive and swift.
Extremely ruthless.
Every move was lethal.
Jing Heng's peripheral vision caught sight of Yun Shu carrying the child out. Their eyes met briefly in the air.
"Scram!" Jing Heng roared.
The sound vibrated so loudly it made people's eardrums buzz.
The guards were startled.
Zhan Ming suddenly shouted at Gu Xiaofeng, "Don't forget your adoptive mother!"
These six words caused Gu Xiaofeng, who was in a daze, to suddenly awaken.
He immediately pushed Yun Shu away with all his might.
Yun Shu didn't have time to catch Gu Xiaofeng.
Struggling desperately, Gu Xiaofeng broke free and quickly ran away.
He ran rapidly into the darkness.
When Yun Shu wanted to go after him again, Zhan Ming had already emerged from the room, and at the same time, more hidden guards and mansion soldiers appeared, attempting to surround Yun Shu and Jing Heng.
The situation was critical!
She glanced towards the distant darkness, her brow furrowing slightly.
