At night, the sky was not very good, the moon was obscured by thick dark clouds, and the starlight could not break through the bad weather and hid.

A black shadow flashed slightly, and it was already unknowingly and unconsciously lurking under the inner fort of Xujiabao.

This black shadow has a black scarf on his face, and it is He Yiming, who has been in Xujiabao for five days.

Ever since he had been acquiring a house, he had been honestly staying in it, and like the rest of the diners, he had no independent features. However, he also understands that for a new diner like himself, the Xu family will definitely not trust, let alone send any good tasks. Only after a period of investigation can it gradually integrate into the huge system of Xujiabao.

But this is undoubtedly the best situation for him, if Xu Jiabao assigns him some difficult task at this moment, or is transferred to the county seat, then he is afraid that he will go crazy with depression.

Over the course of five days, he had discovered the terrain of the outer fort in an open and honest manner, and this practice did not arouse anyone's suspicion, but made people trust him a little.

When the terrain of the outer fort was well understood, He Yiming hit his thoughts into the inner fort.

He didn't have much time to figure it out, and a month was far from enough time for him to gain the trust of the Xu family.

That being the case, hands-on theft is undoubtedly the best option.

With a slight movement of his body, he was already clinging to the wall, and under the operation of his internal strength, he swam up to the inner castle like a huge gecko.

Although the inner fort of the Xu family is not as exaggerated as the outer fort, it is also about four meters, but in times of peace, the defense of the inner fort wall is much looser. He Yiming swam to the inner fort smoothly, but did not alarm anyone.

Coming to the city wall, his eyes turned to see all the environment in the inner castle.

Compared with the outer fort, which suddenly fell into darkness at night, the inner fort was undoubtedly much brighter. A faint candlelight can be seen in many houses.

However, He Yiming's brows were slightly frowned, God knows where Xujiabao's library is, he can't let him touch it room by room.

I lamented in my heart, my own experience is indeed insufficient, if my father's generation is here, maybe they will come up with some good way. However, he also had some vague suspicions, and he didn't know if his father had done this kind of stealing in his life.

Suddenly there were a few footsteps in the distance, a lantern opened the way, and several people hurried over.

He Yiming's eyesight was so clever, he immediately saw that there was a figure of Xu Xiangqian in it, his heart moved slightly, he got off the city wall, and followed cautiously.

His internal strength cultivation has reached the peak ten layers, and he has also practiced the breath-holding technique, when he gathers his ears, all the bright posts and secret whistles are just a kind of decoration for him.

What's more, the martial law of the Xu family at night cannot really be a three-step post, a five-step sentry, just with those sparse sentry posts, don't even want to find his traces.

It didn't take long for Xu Xiangqian and the others to arrive in one of the largest courtyards in the inner fort.

He Yiming wanted to continue to follow, but when he approached the courtyard, he suddenly felt a sense of danger, as if there was something in there that could threaten him.

This feeling came so abruptly that he stopped, recalled it in his mind, and immediately understood it in his heart.

Since he was promoted to the tenth layer of internal strength, he only had this feeling when he met his grandfather. Suddenly, he knew that the person living in this courtyard should be the old man Xu Yinjie, who was known as one of the two tenth-story masters in Taicang County along with Old Man He.

There was a slight movement in his heart, although with He Yiming's strength at this moment, he would no longer be afraid of this super master, but the purpose of his coming here was not to fight with others.

He stayed where he was, no longer approaching, but adjusted the internal strength in his body to the best state, gathered his ears, and eavesdropped.

At this distance, if others can still find out, then He Yiming has nothing to say.

When his internal strength was raised to the limit, he suddenly had another strange feeling.

He had never tried to concentrate such a huge amount of internal energy in the holes around his ears, even when he was eavesdropping on the conversations of those people in Xujia Town in front of him.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a figure in front of him that he didn't dare to underestimate, he wouldn't have started trying to eavesdrop at such a distance.

His ears twitched slightly, as if there was a gust of wind, and they were always gently blowing next to his ears, making them sway slightly with the wind.

The sound heard in these ears no longer seemed to be a dull ring, but through some strange sensation, a special scene was formed in his mind.

The sound of Xu Xiangqian and several servants behind him walking on the ground came from it, and there seemed to be a slight echo that ordinary people couldn't notice at all. From this echo, He Yiming actually formed a three-dimensional pattern in his mind, and he even deduced the size of the entire room.

In this way, a black-and-white, like flowing water, constantly changing picture appeared in his mind, although this picture was still very blurry, but this was enough to make He Yiming feel extremely shocked.

He was sure that this seemed to be beyond the limit that a tenth-layer internal strength master could reach. Because if grandpa had felt this way, then he would definitely mention it to them.

But in his memory, there was never any information about it.

Xu Xiangqian's footsteps of the servants behind him stopped, only the fourth master of the Xu family continued to move forward, and after a while, he suddenly stopped after entering a room.

"Dad, I'm here. Xu Xiangqian's voice suddenly sounded.

"Well, how's it going? An old voice then spoke slowly.

He Yiming's mind suddenly froze, but the scene in his mind was not broken, but had a clearer and clearer feeling.

He could vaguely feel that Xu Xiangqian was respectfully saluting an old man, who was sitting on a chair in a big way. At the same time, he also sensed that from the old man's body, there was an extremely powerful terrifying aura.

Of course, this old man didn't deliberately exude his aura, but since he was sensed by He Yiming, he naturally couldn't hide it from him.

"Dad, Yucai has returned from the county seat, and the news he brought is not good. The Cheng family has already made up their minds to marry the He family, and for this matter, it is said that even the Linlang Lin family specially sent several masters to come. ”

"Linlang Lin's family, what are they doing here? ”

"Because the last time the horse thieves attacked, they stole the thousand-year-old blood ginseng that the Lin family used to congratulate Master Cheng on his birthday, and the Lin family felt a big loss of face, so this time they sent people to cheer on them. ”

"Hmm, is there any news about the thousand-year-old blood ginseng?"

Xu Xiangqian's voice contained an indescribable bitterness, and said: "There is still no news, but it seems that Master Cheng and they have already decided that it was our Xu family who intercepted the thousand-year-old blood ginseng." ”

The old man snorted angrily and said, "The Ninth Layer Fire Skill, which bastard pretended to be our Xu family." ”

Xu Xiangqian hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad, did the Cheng family deliberately release such a rumor?"

"No way. The old man said without hesitation: "I have been dealing with Cheng Ningsheng for decades, who he is, how can I not know." If it weren't for the fact that a master of the ninth layer of the Flame Gong appeared and intercepted the thousand-year-old blood ginseng, he would never have risked breaking with our Xu family to release such a rumor. ”

Xu Xiangqian's voice became more and more bitter: "Dad, but in our Xu family, only the child's fire skill has been cultivated to the ninth layer. ”

"I know. The old man sighed lightly and said, "I didn't say anything about you, but you also know that this fire skill is not our family heirloom, if it is ......."

Xu Xiangqian seemed to gasp and said, "Dad, you mean the ancestor is ......"

The old man simply acquiesced, but He Yiming, who was outside, heard it inexplicably, but he finally understood one thing, that is, the Xu family's famous two great miracle skills, not really the Xu family's mastery, at least there is a force that also masters this technique.

He was full of emotion in his heart, it was really unexpected that a whim would cause such a consequence.

However, seeing these two mutes of the Xu family eating Coptis chinensis, there was an unspeakable look of bitterness, but his heart was only happy without any burden.

After a long time, Xu Xiangqian asked softly, "Dad, what should we do then?"

"What else can I do. The old man said distressedly: "I don't dare to ask the ancestors for confirmation of this matter, so I can only kill and refuse to admit it." If the Lin family comes to inquire in person, then push it to the ancestor, I want to see if the Linlang Lin family has the courage to question the ancestor for a thousand-year-old blood ginseng. ”

Xu Xiangqian smiled bitterly and said, "The Lin family definitely doesn't have the courage to do this, but they don't have so many concerns about us. ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since the matter has come to this, no matter what we do, it is useless." A few days later, I personally attended the wedding of the He and Cheng families, and explained to the two old men, alas, "Alas, ......" He sighed and said depressedly: "It's really a disaster." ”

At this moment, the footsteps of the two people came from a distance, although He Yiming did not see their faces, but a trace of familiarity surged in his heart, as if he was not a stranger to these two people.

Soon, the two men entered the room directly from the other direction.

A familiar voice suddenly sounded: "Grandpa, we're back." ”
