Yuan Ying probably never thought that the hilt of the Heavenly Sword he had placed in the dark room had been stolen, and even the people sent by the Yao Clan had not thought of it.

When the sword thief stole into the study, Yao Yuanshan also wandered around the neighborhood to help him let go.

At the beginning, he couldn't find the entrance to the dark room, and encountered the same problem as Fan Zhijun.

At this time, there were still two days before the competition, Yao Yuanshan was in a hurry, and he couldn't wait to go in to find the entrance of the dark room, but he couldn't go in, he had to ensure the safety of his actions.

Finally, on the eve of the competition, the sword thief found a way to open the dark room, and before he could enter, he heard Yao Yuanshan's voice outside and Yuan Ying's voice.

Tomorrow will officially decide the Heavenly Sword City Lord, Yuan Ying will definitely come over to take a look at the Heavenly Sword, because after tomorrow's competition, the day after tomorrow, he will hand over the position of the City Lord and the Heavenly Sword hilt to the winner.

He didn't expect to see Yao Yuanshan around here, and Yao Yuanshan seemed to have a lot to say to him, so he opened the door of the study and let Yao Yuanshan in.

Yao Yuanshan didn't know if his people were still in the study or had already gone out, it was not too early, and it stood to reason that he couldn't pester Yuan Ying for too long, and after a conversation, he said goodbye and left.

Yuan Ying was sure that he had gone far away, and after opening the door of the dark room, as soon as he walked in, Ruan Guheng called Yuan Ying outside the study.

"Beloved!

Yuan Ying hadn't had time to pick up the hilt of the Heavenly Sword, so he just took a quick look and left the dark room.

The Heavenly Sword hilt he saw now was not the real one, to be honest, the sword thief was quite square, if there was a Heavenly Sword hilt in the dark room, he would probably have succeeded at this time.

The problem was that when he came in, he only saw that there was a place on the shelf that was cleaner than the next one, which was in line with the traces left by the hilt of the Heavenly Sword, but the hilt was not there.

"Where's the thing?" he asked himself, he had found the right place, but what about the thing?

Just when he was at a loss, he heard the sound of Yuan Ying opening the dark room, and he had no choice but to put the fake Heavenly Sword hilt in his hand on the shelf.

You must know that if Yuan Ying finds that the hilt of the Heavenly Sword is missing at this time, he will definitely search for it in the mansion, so that he will also be exposed, this kind of thing can be delayed for a day, and now there is a day of martial arts competition tomorrow, and he may be able to find it if he looks for it himself.

Even if he couldn't find it, at least he knew that the Heavenly Sword hilt in Yuan Ying's hand was already fake, and this secret was only known to them except for the person who stole the hilt.

So the sword handle that Yuan Ying saw when he came in was actually the fake one, and when Yuan Ying was called away by Ruan Guheng, the sword thief also left the study to find Yao Yuanshan to recover his life.

When Yao Yuanshan heard that the hilt of the heavenly sword had been stolen by someone first, he was also surprised.

Who is so bold as to steal the hilt of the sword? and to do it before they do, who has the skill to do it?

"Did you find any clues when you inquired about the news?" asked Yao Yuanshan.

The sword thief shook his head: "I haven't seen any peers, you must know that there is the number one thief in the world living here, and I am very careful when I act by myself." If it weren't for the eldest prince who helped me look out for the wind recently, I really wouldn't dare to trespass into the dark room of the study. ”

"That's it, if you are so taboo-minded, who can have the ability to take the hilt of the sword?"

"I suspect it's someone inside, we still have a day, tomorrow is the heyday of the competition, I expect everyone to go to watch the battle, and there may be no one in the whole mansion at that time, I'll search carefully." ”

"That's the only way to go, be careful yourself!"

Early the next morning, as expected by the sword thief, the entire Yuan Mansion left to watch the battle, but there was one person who did not leave, that is, Yintian, who was lying on the bed and was weak.

Even Shao Banshan was dragged away by Shao Ruobing, and there were not many people in the entire Yuan Mansion, so everyone went to see this last battle.

After all, after today, the new Heavenly Sword City Lord was decided, and everyone wanted to know who would win Ruan Shanlin and Fan Qingsong.

The sword thief was like a no-man's land in the entire Yuan Mansion, and he went in every room and turned it over.

From Yuan Ying's room to the rooms of several ladies, he went through it all over again, trying to find the whereabouts of the hilt of the Heavenly Sword.

When he walked near Fan Zhijun's room, because Yintian was close to this place, he heard movement.

"Who? Why don't you go to the joust?"

He struggled to sit up from the bed, and if it was usual, he might have been lying there still, but today he sat up without knowing what was going on.

The sword thief didn't expect to meet someone in Yuan's mansion, he didn't speak, but secretly walked to the vicinity of Yintian's room to see who it was.

If it's an irrelevant person, should you just kill them and continue the search?

Yin Tian moved his body and pushed open the door, intending to go out to take a look, someone was willing to stay in the Yuan Mansion instead of watching the competition, and he was also curious about who this person was.

When he opened the door and saw that there was no one outside, Yintian frowned, thinking that maybe he had heard it wrong.

So he was about to turn around and go back to his room, and at the moment when he turned his head, a cloud in the sky drifted through to obscure the sun, and the moment the light dimmed, he seemed to see that the shadow behind the tree was a little different, and there seemed to be something behind the tree that made the shadow of the tree different.

He thought to himself, is there someone hiding behind a tree? Who is this person? He has lived in Yuan's Mansion for so long, and everyone knows him well, there is no reason why someone needs to hide from him.

Could it be that this person is not from the Yuan Mansion and has sneaked in? So what is his purpose?

Yintian didn't think too much about it, and slowly walked behind the tree to see what was going on.

The sword thief heard Yintian's footsteps, and he subconsciously wanted to run, so he ran out from behind the tree.

Unexpectedly, Yintian came to make a move, and when the sword thief ran out from behind the tree, he actually came face to face with Yintian.

Yin Tian saw that the person in front of him had never seen before, so he shouted and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing in Yuan's Mansion?"

The sword thief did not expect to be seen by others, you must know that the most taboo thing about being a thief is to be recognized, and once there are witnesses, he may be exposed.

The sword thief lit up the dagger in his hand: "Less nonsense!

Yin Tian hurriedly stepped back and turned around to run away, and at the same time shouted: "There are thieves!"

The sword thief knew that he had to make a move, so he caught up with Yintian and stabbed him in the back, and then swiped the dagger on Yintian's neck with his backhand, blocking Yintian's continued shouting.

Although most of the people in the Yuan Mansion were gone, there were still people who remained in the Yuan Mansion, and when they heard Yintian's words, they immediately rushed over from different directions.

However, they were not as fast as the sword thieves, and when they arrived, they only saw Yintian lying on the ground, and the perpetrator had long since disappeared.
