School Beauty's Personal Martial Expert-Chapter 649: Mountain rain is imminent and the building is full of wind.

"What is this? Let me see."

Leng Xuan took from Cheng Guodong’s hand what appeared to be a bamboo tube, with nothing unusual about its exterior. It resembled a whittled-down stick with no openings or crevices, and the ends bore no caps or similar objects. However, as soon as Leng Xuan took it, he was immediately struck with a realization. He could feel a faint True Qi emanating from the stick, which carried a chill of Yin. Clearly, the person who had handled this stick was a practitioner of some Evil Cultivation Technique.

Leng Xuan channeled his own True Qi to dissipate the True Qi contained in the stick, and to his surprise, the stick automatically split open in the middle to reveal a rolled-up piece of paper hidden inside.

Just as Leng Xuan was about to open it, Li Mengjie also came over, her eyes wide with curiosity as if she was very interested in the contents of the note. He shook his head, thinking it best to keep the contents of the paper to as few people as possible, given that he didn’t know what it said. Thus, he stepped aside, moving away.

Seeing this, Li Mengjie pouted but she wasn’t one to be oblivious to social cues. Since Leng Xuan wasn’t willing to let her see, she reluctantly sat back down on the sofa.

Alone, as he unrolled the paper, Leng Xuan saw the message: "The grudge of bygone years remains fresh in my heart. Ten years of arduous cultivation, all to avenge the past. The day I come out of seclusion will be the day your family meets its downfall." The note was signed with the three characters ’Luo Tianzheng’. After reading it, Leng Xuan couldn’t keep calm anymore. Judging from the content of the message, this person named Luo Tianzheng was likely the nemesis mentioned by Old Master Ling. Since the letter had been delivered, it implied that retribution against the Ling Family was imminent.

With that thought, Leng Xuan immediately dialed Uncle Liu’s number.

When he picked up, Uncle Liu’s voice soon came through: "Young Master Leng, do you need me for something so late?"

"Uncle Liu, I need you to get in touch with the Old Master as soon as possible."

"This..." Uncle Liu hesitated, "might be difficult. As you know, the Old Master is currently in seclusion. Disturbing him suddenly could be detrimental." freēwēbnovel.com

Leng Xuan insisted firmly, "It has to be done, no matter what. We must find a way to reach the Old Master. To be honest with you, Uncle Liu, the Old Master’s adversary has come knocking, and the letter they sent to the villa is bristling with murderous intent. I can’t decide on this matter alone, so we must inform the Old Master and let him prepare."

"Really?" Uncle Liu immediately became anxious upon hearing this and asked hurriedly, "Mr. Leng, is everyone okay? The young ladies haven’t been harmed, have they?"

Leng Xuan replied, "Don’t worry, they were just a bit startled, nothing serious. I suspect the one who delivered the message is not Old Master Ling’s nemesis himself, thus there were no further incidents after the letter was delivered."

"That’s a relief," breathed Uncle Liu, and then he said, "Mr. Leng, ensure the young ladies’ safety, and I will contact the Old Master as soon as possible. And about the young lady, please keep it a secret from her. The Old Master wouldn’t want her to worry."

"I understand." After hanging up the phone, Leng Xuan took a deep breath, turned to Cheng Guodong, and said, "You’ll need to increase security measures and expand the protected area slightly. Arrange for a few people to patrol an extra ten meters or so past your current perimeter. That way, if someone approaches, they can be detected promptly."
