No matter how furious Xuanyuan Mingmou was,
her arrival was only a minor interruption to Su Ye. It could not shake his composure.
But then...
Snap!
Outside the window, every light in the Manor went out at once.
Su Ye heard startled cries from within the Manor.
"The power's out!"
A power outage?
Madam Ross's Manor had a backup generator that started automatically, switching over seamlessly within three seconds.
But three seconds had passed, and the Manor was still pitch-black.
Something was wrong!
At a thought, Su Ye vanished from the room.
A moment later, space rippled around Xu Yinyin, and Su Ye appeared beside her.
Su Ye had marked Xu Yinyin long ago. As long as they were within three kilometers of each other, he could teleport to her side at any time.
Just like now.
"Su... Mr. Long, you're here."
Sensing Su Ye's presence, Xu Yinyin relaxed a little and moved closer to him.
She was on a terrace on the Second Floor of the Manor, hiding warily in a corner.
Su Ye quickly scanned the area. Sensing no hostility, he felt somewhat relieved.
"Let's go inside."
The terrace was too exposed. It would be easy for attackers to concentrate their fire there. They would be safer indoors.
"Okay!"
Without another word, Xu Yinyin let Su Ye shield her as they headed into the Banquet Hall.
The Banquet Hall was dark too. It wasn't that they lacked lights. With everything outside pitch-black, turning on the lights would make them torches in the darkness, putting them in even greater danger.
Almost everyone in the Banquet Hall was a Martial Artist anyway, and they could all see in the dark.
"Yinyin!"
Xu Zining had been anxiously about to look for Xu Yinyin when she saw Su Ye escorting her over.
