I don't know if it was the boy's words, or the confidence revealed in the boy's tone, which made Ye Chengtai, who was already surging in his heart, slightly stunned.

He also slowly stood up, stared directly into the dark eyes of the young man in the darkness, his hands gradually clenched into fists, and the surging qi poured out like a flood of floods.

"Master Hou wants to kill me?" Xu Han's eyes narrowed, and the black cat on his shoulder curled up lazily, as if he had never sensed the killing intent in this hall.

"Husband. The woman behind her called, after all, she was also from a big family, and she had followed Ye Chengtai over the years, and the official sea had been ups and downs, and she had finally seen some of the world. At this time, the lights in the hall went out, and it was not difficult for her to guess that her husband might have moved to kill at this time, she didn't know where her husband's murderous intent came from, but she finally felt that something was wrong.

But Ye Chengtai did not respond to the woman's call.

In the darkness, he squinted his eyes, as if he could see the appearance of the boy through the layers of night.

He didn't feel any trace of qi from this young man, which means that this young man's strongest cultivation is only the Treasure Aquarius Realm, at this age, this kind of cultivation is already unusual or ordinary, and it should be described as a mess.

And if Yifuzi said in the letter, let him put the entire Ye family on such a young man, Ye Chengtai really can't do it.

If it had been a few years ago, he would have lost power, but he could still have a fight, but now his daughter's attention to Linglong Pavilion can soar into the sky, although Ye Chengtai is not a powerful person, but he is not willing to drag his daughter back because of himself, and even bring death to the Ye family.

Over the years, he has suffered a lot from being implicated in the rebellion of the Shepherd, and this has finally improved, but he is unwilling to take any more risks.

"The master and I have kindness, I, Ye Chengtai, am not a hero, but I don't want to be the one who will take revenge. If you leave now, I will never see you, nor have I seen this letter. Ye Chengtai said in a deep voice, and there was no threat in his tone.

"What if you don't leave?" Xu Han asked with a light smile, his expression was calm, and he didn't show half of his dissatisfaction or fear because of Ye Chengtai's aggressive attitude.

The anger finally climbed up to Ye Chengtai's eyebrows at that time.

"Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?" he said, and one hand suddenly turned into a claw and was about to attack Xu Han's face.

His speed was extremely fast, and the power of being a secret realm was urged by him to the extreme at that moment, and the woman on the side had not even come back to his senses, Ye Chengtai's sharp claws had already killed Xu Han.

In the face of Ye Chengtai's murderous grasp, Xu Han still stood in place with a smile on the corner of his mouth, not moving at all, as if he had not reacted yet.

Seeing that the sharp claw arrived at the face door, he was about to tear Xu Han's face open in the next moment.

"Daddy!" suddenly came a coquettish cry from outside the house.

Ye Chengtai's body shook, and when he reached Xu Han's face, the sharp claws on the door were suddenly retracted, and his body retreated into the distance, and then he waved his hand, and the candle flame extinguished in the hall was lit up again, illuminating the Ningguo Marquis Mansion brilliantly.

Squeak.

With a hoarse sound, the door of the main hall was pushed open from the outside, and a figure in a light red dress stepped into the room.

"Dad, why did you put out the candle at night?" the figure asked.

Ye Chengtai, who was still murderous just now, suddenly had a smile on his face when he faced the questioning of the figure, and he hurriedly said.

"The night wind was strong, and I accidentally blew out the candle flame. ”

"Really?" The figure frowned, obviously a little suspicious of Ye Chengtai's words, she turned her head to scan the situation in the house, but saw that her mother's face was a little pale, and there was a strange-looking young man with a black cat squatting on his shoulder.

"Who is this?" she asked, recalling it to make sure she had never seen the boy before.

Xu Han also looked at the figure at that time.

It was a young girl, combed with a ponytail, the black silk hung down on the waist, revealing her forehead as smooth as jade, her eyes under her eyebrows seemed to contain autumn water, and she was born with red lips and bright teeth.

This is the daughter of Ye Chengtai, the closed disciple of the elder of Linglong Pavilion - Ye Hongjian.

"This..."Ye Chengtai pointed at Xu Han when he heard this, wanting to find some explanations, but after all, he was still facing each other with his sword at the previous moment, and it was still a little difficult for Ye Chengtai to say something at this time.

"I've seen Miss in Xia Xu Han. Xu Han smiled, as if he had forgotten the fight just now, and he arched his hand towards Ye Hongjian, with a respectful attitude, but neither humble nor arrogant. "I am Hou Ye's newly recruited guard, and I will be responsible for escorting the young lady to Linglong Pavilion in the future. ”

"You!?" Ye Chengtai was already hostile to Xu Han's sudden appearance, but at this moment, seeing him so self-assertive, talking nonsense in front of his daughter, he suddenly became angry, and he was about to say something.

"Guard?" Ye Hongjian tilted his head to look at his father when he heard this, Ye Chengtai sensed his daughter's gaze and had to suppress the anger in his heart.

As a father, he finally didn't want his daughter to get into the muddy waters of Da Zhou.

It's his instinct and of course his responsibility.

"yes, but Xu... Xu Gongzi is just a candidate, and who to use has to be re-assessed. Ye Chengtai said in a deep voice, rounding the field, but also leaving room for it.

In that letter, the young man in front of him was the apprentice of the master of the Heavenly Cefu Mansion, and the master left this letter to ask Ye Chengtai to find a way to send him to Linglong Pavilion.

Ye Hongjian was a closed disciple appointed by the elders of Linglong Pavilion, and although it was not easy to bring one or two people into Linglong Pavilion, it was definitely not how difficult it was.

It's just that behind this...

At that time, the saint secretly ordered Zhu Xian, the head of the Long Night Division, to destroy the Manmen of the Shepherd Mansion in the name of rebellion, and only the little prince who did not learn and did not know how to do it is still missing. Outsiders seem to be afraid of the 200,000 Mujia army that the Mu family has in Jizhou Jianlong Pass, but Ye Chengtai knows very well that what the emperor is really afraid of is the Tiance Mansion that has assisted the three emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty and has been deeply rooted.

destroyed the Muwang Mansion, and cut off the arm of the Tiance Mansion.

Since then, the Tiance Mansion has been suppressed everywhere by the Long Night Division, which is intentionally supported by the Holy Lord, and now it exists in name only, and the whereabouts of that master are unknown a year ago.

Not to mention whether the master is dead or alive, but with the master's temperament, since he sent his apprentice to Chang'an at this time, there must be some behind-the-scenes plan, and it may even be the beginning of the Tiance Mansion's counterattack against the entire Changye Division.

Ye Chengtai asked himself that he couldn't be the kind of villain who framed the loyalty, but he didn't want to be the righteous man who charged into battle.

He had no intention of participating in the battle between the two behemoths, he only wanted to keep the family safe, and the master's letter was obviously to pull him onto the chariot of Tiance Mansion, Ye Chengtai was naturally unwilling.

He thought about hiding it from his daughter first, and then he would take care of Xu Han.

He won't kill him as he said before, but at least drive him away.

"Huh?" Ye Chengtai had just said this, Xu Han on the side raised his eyebrows, he turned his head to look at Ye Chengtai with a puzzled face, and asked as if he was extremely confused: "Didn't Master Hou agree to the next one?" Or is it that the letter is not clearly written enough, and it needs to be shown to the young lady?"

Xu Han's seemingly casual words made Ye Chengtai's heart skip a beat, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.

When Ye Hongjian was young, he was sent to the Tiance Mansion, taught by his master, and was extremely close to his master, if she knew that Xu Han was sent by her master, she would definitely not refuse, and it would be difficult for Ye Chengtai to shirk at that time.

"Faith, what faith?"

Sure enough, as Ye Chengtai expected, Xu Han's words aroused Ye Hongjian's curiosity, she turned her head and looked at her father suspiciously, and asked out loud. She is not a stupid person, and the seemingly harmonious but strange atmosphere in the hall has been felt by her since she entered the hall, but she can't think it through, and when she hears Xu Han's words at this moment, she is naturally more suspicious.

"Ahh Be... It's a letter recommended by the deceased..."Ye Chengtai was a little flustered in the face of Ye Hongjian's question, he glanced sideways at Xu Han, and saw that there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes, knowing that he was already riding a tiger at this moment. "I'm just afraid that you won't be satisfied, so I haven't agreed yet. ”

"Really?" Ye Hongjian turned her eyes suspiciously and glanced at Xu Han again, but she only felt that this young man was a little strange, but she couldn't find anything wrong, since it was recommended by her father's old friend, she didn't care about it anymore, and said casually: "That's him." ”

Ye Chengtai's face suddenly became more and more ugly when he heard this, and he was about to say something more, but Xu Han arched his hand at that time, and said with a smile: "Little Miss Thank You." ”

"Hmm. Ye Hongjian nodded, and then withdrew his gaze.

"I've been out with the princess sister for a long time today, and I'm a little tired, so my daughter will go back to the room to rest. She said this, bowed to her parents, and withdrew.

At this time, only Xu Han and Ye Chengtai were left in the main hall.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little colder, and Ye Chengtai's eyes as he looked at Xu Han appeared with a strong murderous intent that almost condensed into substance in the air, surging towards Xu Han.

The woman on the side also looked at her husband worriedly, still a little unclear.

"Boy, do you really think that I, Ye Chengtai, am easy to bully?" he said this sentence very heavily, as if it jumped out of his teeth, obviously this Ning Guohou had fallen into the verge of rage.

"Master Hou still wants to kill me?" Xu Han still maintained his usual attitude before, neither angry nor happy, neither humble nor arrogant.

This calm attitude undoubtedly made the anger in Ye Chengtai's heart burn more and more.

Just when he was about to lose his grip and wanted to strike again.

"Did Master Hou really think that Miss's trip would be smooth sailing?" Xu Han's voice sounded again at that time.

"Zhu Xian will really let Miss go to Linglong Pavilion, waiting for one day when she returns from her studies and redresses his wife's grievances?"

Xu Han's eyes narrowed at that time, and he looked past the murderous Ye Chengtai in front of him and looked at the woman behind him.
