"You... you're hurting me!"
Xiao Yao cried out.
Second Blade Emperor frowned, but loosened his grip on the girl's arm and fell silent.
Although she did not have much of a favorable impression of Wen Duo and even had to guard against him from time to time... instinctively, Xiao Yao, her face full of panic, still hid behind Wen Duo at once.
"Master?" Wen Duo asked in a low voice.
Xiao Luo SIR merely waved his hand, signaling him to be quiet, then walked over to Second Blade Emperor.
"You brought me here on purpose." Second Blade Emperor mused, "So I could see her?"
His reaction had been so quick that Xiao Luo SIR naturally considered it a good thing.
"Now," Xiao Luo SIR said, "would the Enforcer like to hear the whole story behind this extortion-letter case?"
Second Blade Emperor's eyes narrowed.
—This Xiao Luo... was even more baffling to Second Blade Emperor than the case itself.
Acquaintances... barely, perhaps?
Sha Bian arranged a quiet reception room for everyone. After notifying Captain Gu Qiancha, he went back to his patrol duty—the rest would naturally be handled by Gu Qiancha.
As for Yu Shi Yao and Si Wuxie, Sha Bian could not arrange things for them. In particular, after Si Wuxie moved in, even the members of the villa's original Guard Team had to obtain permission from the guards of Luoshen Holy Land before doing anything.
"What exactly are they talking about? And who exactly is that fellow your young master brought here?"
The reception room was divided into inner and outer chambers... Xiao Yao and Wen Duo were in the outer chamber, though Xiao Yao kept poking her head out to look around.
"Keep quiet. Don't disturb Master, or even I won't be able to protect you."
