Hearing this hoarse and unpleasant response, Gao Yun couldn't help but frown secretly.

Generally speaking, wealthy families like this deep mansion compound pay great attention to etiquette. Even if you don't see a guest, at least you should show up to explain, like this, you don't even show your face, and you directly issue an expulsion order, the shelf of this city lord's mansion is really big enough.

Moreover, at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, there were some strange details that made Gao Yun quite concerned.

It was already completely dark, so as they walked along, the tiny lights like fireflies on both sides of the avenue were lit up sporadically.

This spiritual fire fluorescent lantern will be set up in the main streets of the city, as long as there is a small amount of spiritual energy stored to start, it is the most convenient and ordinary night lighting facilities.

But the strange thing is that when I walked a distance in front of the city lord's mansion, until I reached the entrance of the mansion, none of the spiritual fire fluorescent lights on the side of the road were lit up for some reason.

This lamp can be activated with only a small amount of aura, and it can be used for more than half a year as long as it is injected once, and it stands to reason that it will not be lit due to energy shortages. What's even more suspicious is why the long way in from the city gate is fine, but there is a problem with this section of the city lord's mansion.

What's even more strange is that, as usual, the city lord's mansion should be the most luxurious mansion in the city, and the mansion gate is the façade of a courtyard, just like a human face. Who doesn't pay attention to keeping their face brightly lit?

But on the other hand, the entrance of the city lord's mansion is actually very clean and thorough, there are no guards, no servants, and even the two bronze lions used to ward off evil spirits on the left and right in front of the door are not placed.

The creepy-sounding voice from inside the door added a touch of eerie atmosphere to the mansion that was gradually melting into the night.

After that sound sounded, silence returned to the house, and no more sound was heard.

Gao Yun looked at Master Lan standing in front of the door and said, "Master, there is something ...... in this place."

As soon as he was halfway through his words, he saw Master Lan make a gesture at him, and immediately understood and kept silent.

The consciousness of gestures is –

Rush in!

Suddenly, Master Lan's figure flashed, and suddenly disappeared in front of their eyes.

However, Gao Yun immediately sensed that Master Lan's soul aura had appeared inside the door.

The senses of sight, hearing, and other senses of a cultivator are far beyond ordinary people, and when they enter the realm of true immortals, they can even see thousands of miles and hear in all directions.

However, Gao Yun is still in the initial stage, so naturally he can't be so perverted, and the range that he can see and hear in the night is only about ten zhang, and Master Lan's cultivation is unfathomable, and there is no sound at all between moving and moving, and even if there is, it is not something that a cultivator of his level can capture.

However, Gao Yun's rich soul power hidden in his heart gave him an additional special skill - soul perception.

When he was on the grassland before, he could already vaguely feel the beauty of this skill, and even if he closed his eyes, he could clearly sense the soul fluctuations of nearby creatures.

It was daytime on the grassland, and as night fell, Gao Yun felt that his sense of soul became more and more acute. Previously, each soul was like a small point of light emitting a faint light under his senses, but now, it was like a ball of dancing flames.

Under his sense, Lan Shi's petite body was already standing behind the door of the mansion.

However, under the keen soul sense, Gao Yun sensed that there seemed to be something else in the courtyard.

His mind moved, and then he tapped his toes, jumped up, and swept over the wall of the mansion several feet high.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Gao Yun immediately noticed that there seemed to be something unusual about this front yard.

In the center of the courtyard is a rockery of considerable scale, with some withered yellow leaves falling on the rocks, and the water of the pond is a rich dark green. There were also scattered yellow leaves on the ground around it, as well as broken branches.

It seems that no one has cleaned it in a while.

At this time, Lan Shi was standing a few feet in front of him, not reacting to his arrival, but staring fixedly at the darkness in front of him.

Gao Yun's whole body suddenly tensed, and there was a dark and vague but throbbing soul aura.

"What are you looking at stupidly?" Yu Xueting's voice suddenly sounded beside her.

Gao Yun turned his head to look, and she and Sikong Qing also crossed the wall and stood behind him.

"Didn't you say it, I didn't see any guests. An old man slowly paced out from behind the courtyard door in front of him.

The old man was dressed in a dark cyan short-bodied brocade robe, obviously quite old, with a thin face and white hair, but Gao Yun found that the palms exposed under his sleeves were faintly revealing a cold aura.

The old man casually glanced at them, and said in an old and flat voice, "A few of you, please go back." ”

Lan Shi heard the old man's undisguised intention to expel him, and he didn't care, slowly walked two steps forward, looked him up and down, and smiled quite politely: "This old gentleman, we came from a long way away overnight, so don't be in such a hurry to drive us out." ”

"It's useless to wait here, I won't let you in. The old man said calmly and lightly, and after saying that, he lowered his eyelids slightly, looked at the ground, and ignored them. It was as if they didn't exist in front of him.

Seeing the old man's arrogant attitude, Gao Yun couldn't help frowning.

It seemed that the voice he had just heard outside the door had come from his mouth.

However, since it was a visit, it was naturally not too stubborn, Gao Yun shook his head slightly helplessly.

At this time, Master Lan spoke again, but what he said made Gao Yun shocked when he heard it.

"Are you trying to stop us?" Master Lan took out a white chess piece, gently threw it upwards a certain height, and then caught it, and replied, "However, you don't seem to have the qualifications. ”

Between the words, the meaning of banter and contempt is unmistakable.

Lan Shi's strange attitude made Gao Yun a little stunned.

Listening to what he meant, it seems that he is planning to break in?

Master Lan's answer was undoubtedly seriously beyond the old man's expectations, Gao Yun saw that his wrist trembled slightly almost imperceptibly, and the soul aura on his body suddenly fluctuated violently.

The old man frowned slightly, and finally raised his head slowly. His gaze swept over Lan Shi and Gao Yun, but there was a cold and fierce meaning in his dim and muddy old eyes.

As he raised his head, Gao Yun saw that on his face, from the left cheek, there were two long, terrifying scars that crossed each other. Although he didn't move, the scar still added a violent ferocity to him.

His gaze swept around, and slowly stopped at Lan Shi, and his tone revealed a bit of playfulness.

"At a young age, his tone is not small!" He obviously judged people by his appearance, and regarded Lan Shi as a little child about ten years old, "Tell me, why am I not qualified?"

Hearing this, Lan Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, an arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, he shook his head with a smile, and said, "Dare to ask, what kind of person are you in this city lord's mansion, a servant, a housekeeper, or a relative of the city lord?"

The old man's face suddenly became solemn, he stared at Master Lan, and said lightly: "Regarding my identity, there is no need to talk to you and other children who have not dried up, you better leave quickly, so as not to ask for hardship." ”

Gao Yun was on the side, and immediately heard some clues.

With Lan Shi's personality, he would not fight with others for no reason, since he asked the identity of the old man, he obviously questioned this, and the old man's answer was also unclear, which made him even more convinced that this old man must have some secret.

"Can the old gentleman tell me," Lan Shi obviously didn't intend to let him go, and then asked, "What is the couplet on both sides of the gate of your City Lord's Mansion?"

"That's what people put on it, how do I know about such a trivial matter?"

The old man snorted coldly, his hands clenched secretly, and there was obviously a trace of impatience in his eyes when he looked at Master Lan.

Lan Shi suddenly clapped his hands happily, immediately pointed at him, and laughed loudly: "Haha! You are really not from the City Lord's Mansion!"
