He walked over slowly, his actions elegant and noble. In a daze, he seemed to have walked out of a painting, and everything around him became surreal.

The white mist around him looked more like the Spirit Qi of a deity in paintings, and he seemed to be the divine being who lived in that immortal realm!

He was wearing a mask, and under the fog, it was even more impossible to see his appearance. However, his imposing aura and the changes that occurred when he appeared were enough to let everyone know that he was very strong—extremely strong!

He walked over gracefully; his eyes had been fixed on Xiao Muling from the moment he appeared.

Facing his gaze, Xiao Muling had a calm expression. Although she knew that the person in front of her was an expert, she wasn’t afraid.

In the past, she had seen things that were more dangerous than this. If she was afraid now, she would’ve died countless times.

Thinking about what happened just now, Xiao Muling spoke. “You’re the one who touched the corridor?”

The man was silent as he walked over slowly.

Seeing that he was silent and heading toward her, Xiao Muling retreated warily. “Who are you? What is your purpose in coming to the Xiao family?”

Xiao Muling continued to question him, but the person in front of her still didn’t answer.

The distance between them became shorter and shorter!

A powerful aura enveloped her, and Xiao Muling felt uncomfortable as if a huge mountain was pressing down on her.

‘This person is too strong! But if he wasn’t strong, how would he be able to enter and exit the Xiao family residence as though nobody is around? The Xiao family’s defenses directly became a decoration to him! Such a person is too dangerous!’

In a flash, the man had already arrived in front of her. The distance between them was only two steps!

Surprise flashed across Xiao Muling’s eyes. They were too close, and the strong pressure made her feel even worse.

Under such strong pressure, other people would’ve already collapsed or run away. Only Xiao Muling could still stand there and look him in the eye.

The man stared at her, sizing her up. Then, he slowly raised his hand and reached toward her.

Xiao Muling looked at the outstretched hand and speedily backed away.

Watching Xiao Muling turn around and leave, the man’s hand stopped in mid-air as he watched her walk away.

He chased after her and blocked her footsteps—he easily blocked her.

Xiao Muling stopped and became even more vigilant.

The man walked over and raised his hand to reach out to her again.

A powerful force surged toward her.

Feeling this terrifying force, Xiao Muling instantly felt her scalp tingle! From the corner of her eyes, she saw the black array formation under her feet activate!

“Roar!”

The roar of a beast resounded from the horizon.

The man raised his head and looked toward the horizon. A huge shadow fell from the sky and pounced toward him!

The man moved to avoid the giant shadow that was flying toward him. He then turned his head and stared at the giant, golden-eyed wolf!

A powerful and terrifying aura surged as he stared at the giant wolf with a cold gaze! “Get lost!”

As the cold words fell, even the air vibrated!

The moment the huge wolf—which was glaring at the mysterious man fiercely—felt the powerful force, its expression immediately turned into panic.

At this moment, a summoning array appeared behind it. Then, the wolf immediately jumped into the summoning array.

Its speed was more than twice as fast as before.

Seeing the giant wolf disappear, the man immediately looked at where Xiao Muling was standing. However, there was nobody there now, only a cool breeze…

He took a step forward and fixed his eyes on the spot where Xiao Muling had disappeared. The fluctuations around his body turned violent, and the breeze that blew past him was directly dispersed!

His hands that were behind his back clenched into fists. He looked around but didn’t see anyone; his gaze was terrifyingly dark! ‘Xiao Muling—she escaped again!’

The plants in the courtyard that were blown away seemed to be frightened by his powerful aura as they kept trembling!

The commotion around him gradually dissipated. He knew that the Xiao family’s guards would quickly recover their defenses, so he could only look for another opportunity.

He didn’t care about those people from the Xiao family; it was simply too troublesome.

As the slender figure walked in the air, the rhythmic heartbeat in his heart suddenly became intense.

He put a hand to his chest, and his gaze changed for a moment; then, the shadow vanished over the horizon.

Seeing that he had gone far away, Xiao Muling turned back to look.

After manifesting the summoning array, the wolf should’ve already left. It had only wanted to stall that person.

Thump!

A violent heartbeat sounded beside her ear.

Xiao Muling stopped and looked around. She carefully listened again and heard no more heartbeats.

She put her hand to her chest and looked down again. “I almost thought that person was here!”

It was that person in the ice room! But even if he were here, she would not take responsibility!

Xiao Muling put down her hand. Since the person behind didn’t follow her, she did not intend to continue forward. ‘That person… didn’t have any murderous intent. Even though he had made a move, it didn’t look like he wanted to silence me for spotting him.’

“Even if that’s the case, it’s still better to avoid him.”

‘With his strength, would he even reveal any murderous intent if he wanted to kill someone? If he were to approach me slightly, I would find it hard to endure the powerful pressure exuding from his body. If he wanted to kill me, I wouldn’t even have the chance to escape.’

Even though this was the Xiao family residence, her father wasn’t around. She had to rely on herself.

“Fortunately, Miss Liangxiao isn’t seriously injured.”

“Thank goodness nothing happened to her!”

…

Voices came from not far away.

Xiao Muling shook her head regretfully. ‘Xiao Liangxiao is really lucky, but since she’s still alive, I can wait for her fate to be worse than death! I won’t let Xiao Liangxiao live comfortably. She doesn’t deserve to live comfortably!’

“Ling’er, are you alright?” An afterimage rushed in front of Xiao Muling, and Xiao Canglan appeared in front of her.

“Dad, didn’t you go out?” She blinked and almost thought it was an illusion. ‘Every time he goes out, it would take at least three days. Why did he return right after he went out this time?’

Hearing her say this and seeing that she was fine, Xiao Canglan felt relieved. “I let Xiao Qing go instead. Are you alright?”

It was just a small matter and some bizarre rumors.

He went there personally because he wanted to solve the problem better. When he heard that something happened at home, he immediately came back.

Xiao Qing could also handle the matter well.

“It’s okay. When the long hallway collapsed, I was in my room… eating dinner.” Ready to do something else.

Xiao Canglan looked at her smile and couldn’t help but laugh. His mood was especially relaxed. “Then, go back and rest. Daddy has things to do.”

He had to find out why the main beam had collapsed.

“Dad.” Xiao Muling pulled him back with a smile.

“Mmh?” Xiao Canglan stopped.

“Dad, the collapse of the corridor is a little strange. Why don’t we take this opportunity to reorganize the Xiao family’s defenses?” Xiao Muling said thoughtfully. ‘That person entered the Xiao family residence… Nobody in the Xiao family found out, and they probably won’t find any traces either.’

Xiao Muling didn’t know what his motive was either, so she decided not to tell her father for the time being. If he came again, she would then tell her father.

“Xiao family’s defenses?” Xiao Canglan fell into deep thought.

“Dad, I’ll go back first.” That person should’ve left long ago.

“I’ll send you,” Xiao Canglan said worriedly.

Xiao Canglan sent Xiao Muling back. He only left after confirming that the long corridor here did not collapse.

Looking at her caring father, Xiao Muling smiled. ‘It’s nice to have a father who loves me.’

There was a flash of light from her ear studs.

She turned and walked into the space.
