Under the cover of night, the Jing An Marquis Residence was exceptionally quiet.
Zhang Yuqing was simmering soup in the kitchen, waiting for Li Lei to return so she could serve him some.
Although there were plenty of servants in the residence, she was still used to handling many things herself.
Bang! A gunshot shattered the tranquility of the marquis residence.
Zhang Yuqing's body trembled. The ladle slipped from her hand and smashed to pieces on the floor.
"Enemy attack—"
A shrill alarm rang throughout the entire residence.
Zhang Yuqing's expression changed, and she rose abruptly and headed for the door.
"Madam!"
Outside stood a muscular woman nearly two meters tall, with two great axes strapped to her back.
Her name was Xing Qin. She was Zhang Yuqing's personal guard and was in the late Qi Transformation stage.
"Enemies have broken in. I'll escort you to the secret chamber first!"
Xing Qin said this to Zhang Yuqing.
"My parents..."
Zhang Yuqing looked anxious.
The Jing An Marquis Residence in Xingcheng was enormous. Li Fei did not usually live here, so with only Li Lei and Zhang Yuqing living in it, the place felt far too deserted.
Thus, Li Lei had asked Zhang Yuqing to bring her parents over, both for their convenience and so they could enjoy the benefits together.
"There are guards with your parents too. They'll take them to the secret chamber. We need to leave first, now!"
Xing Qin said.
She had once been a Rogue Cultivator and had only been recruited into the marquis residence last year. Her years in the martial world had honed her vigilance.
She knew very well that, given the Jing An Marquis's current status and power, anyone bold enough to charge directly into the residence could not be an ordinary enemy.
