Everyone looked, and couldn’t believe it. The esteemed Celestial Master Zhang of Moli Country was actually kneeling before a night intruder. If word got out, how would the Celestial Master’s Mansion retain its dignity?

As a result, the guards, armed with weapons, clambered onto the roof one after another, intending to rescue Celestial Master Zhang.

Suddenly, a shadow on the roof sprang up with a swish, moving swiftly, sweeping past dozens of guards. As the guards were just poking their heads up on the roof, they felt their vision blur, a pain on their heads, and then they flipped backward...

"Ahhh...!"

Thud thud thud, the guards who had just climbed onto the roof were caught off guard and were sent tumbling to the ground by the Weirdo, letting out cries of anguish.

"Oh my... it hurts so much!"

"Ah... my leg... my leg is broken...!"

"Oh dear, my butt, whose dagger is it, that bastard’s? It hurts like hell." One guard was unlucky enough that when he fell down, someone’s dagger came out and stabbed him in the butt, making him howl in pain.

"Who are you cursing?" asked the Guard Commander coldly, who was also grimacing in pain beside him.

The guard immediately cowed: "Ah? Guard Commander, it was your dagger?"

The Guard Commander glared, his tone unpleasant: "What do you think?"

The guard felt doomed, already in enough pain from his injury, and now he got into trouble with the Guard Commander. Instantly, his expression was a mix of colors. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: "Haha... I’m just saying, whose dagger is so sharp? Turns out it’s the Guard Commander’s, truly different, a fine piece."

Guard Commander: "Give it back to me."

The guard paused, the dagger was still stuck in his butt, how could he return it?

The Guard Commander didn’t care, reached out his hand toward him coldly and said, "The dagger is a family heirloom left by my father, hurry and return it."

Upon hearing this, the guard gritted his teeth, endured the pain, reached back to pull the dagger out of his butt, a gush of blood followed, but he couldn’t care less, the Guard Commander was his superior, he couldn’t offend him.

"Guard Commander, here’s your heirloom." The guard’s expression couldn’t be more pained, cursing a thousand times in his heart, damn it, who did he offend to encounter such bad luck?

"There’s blood." The Guard Commander didn’t reach out to take it, looked at it with disdain, and said.

The guard wiped the dagger on himself a few times before handing it back to the Guard Commander.

The Guard Commander put the dagger away, stood up from the ground, and shouted to the guards: "Brothers, get up and quickly go rescue the Honorable Celestial Master."

Tonight was quite unlucky, who was that audacious thief that dared to break into the Celestial Master’s Mansion and abduct Celestial Master Zhang.

The guards sprawled on the ground were in chaos. Upon hearing the Guard Commander’s shout, they hurriedly scrambled to their feet.

The guards who hadn’t yet climbed onto the roof stood in the courtyard, watching clearly, and shouted: "The intruders attacking the Celestial Master’s Mansion at night are not alone, there are accomplices."

The Guard Commander glared at them fiercely, scolding: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get the Honorable Celestial Master down!"

"Yes."

The guards jolted, quickly drawing their swords, intending to rush onto the roof to rescue Celestial Master Zhang.

On the roof, Xuexue glanced at the guards below who were eager to move and said to the Weirdo: "Senior, there are too many government soldiers, maybe we should retreat first."

To avoid revealing the Weirdo’s identity as the Prince of the Former Dynasty, Xuexue reverted to addressing him as before.

The Weirdo chuckled and said, "A bunch of small fry, not worth mentioning."

Xuexue said, "Though they seem insignificant, their numbers can be troublesome, Senior, please do not be careless."

The Weirdo glanced at Celestial Master Zhang, smirking slyly: "Letting this old turtle off like this doesn’t sit right with me, and my Xiao Hei died too unjustly."
