Chapter 7: Dark Night Rendezvous

When Shangguan Jiannan was looking around in panic, suddenly, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky again.

At the top of the tower shadow in the southeast direction, countless green lights lit up in the sky, and they were arranged into a strange "one".

It was as if the little stars in the netherworld were winking at us. At this moment, a strange horn sounded from the top of the tower, as if to match this weird performance.

In the night sky, a monster appeared out of nowhere and let out a sharp roar. The sound was getting closer and closer. Shangguan Jiannan felt like he was being teased by some unknown force.

The people in the small building let out a cry of exclamation, accompanied by the sound of clothes flying around, and seemed extremely panicked.

Immediately afterwards, the mysterious black shadow jumped out of the window in an instant. This time, it did not dare to show off its lightness skills. It jumped down the building in a panic and disappeared into the night.

Shangguan Jiannan guessed that this guy must be hiding not far from him.

At this moment, Shangguan Jiannan's eyes suddenly lit up. Four burly men held night pearls in their hands, like four rays of light illuminating the darkness. They held up the night pearls on both sides, illuminating the entire scene.

In the middle is a tall, strange-looking old man, giving people a ferocious feeling.

The five of them walked slowly towards the small building, and Shangguan Jiannan's heart beat faster with nervousness.

He instinctively shrank back and hid behind the flower bed. At the same time, he discovered that there was another person hiding behind another flower bed five or six steps away. The back of that person was quite similar to the middle-aged man in green clothes during the day.

Could it be that he was having a secret meeting in the small building?

At this moment, the four night pearls seemed to be driven by some mysterious force and rolled downstairs by themselves, stopping only five steps away from Shangguan Jiannan's hiding place.

Shangguan Jiannan carefully poked his head out from between the lush branches and saw the window of the two-story building slowly open with a creaky sound.

The face of an extremely beautiful young woman peeked out from the window. She looked like a world-class actress who was pretending to have just woken up from sleep.

Shangguan Jiannan smiled secretly in his heart. The sleepy look of the young woman was obviously fake. Perhaps he was too sensitive. He even caught a trace of guilty fear in the eyes of the young woman, as if she was participating in some unspeakable activity.

Just then, an old man walked out laughing, with his arms raised high as if he wanted to embrace the whole world.

When the young woman saw the old man, she let out a scream of surprise, the sound so sharp that it was enough to pierce the night sky.

She floated down lightly like a swallow leaving its nest, and landed squarely in the old man's upraised arms.

"Oh, my darling, I've missed you so much these days!" The old man hugged the young woman tightly, wishing he could merge her into his body.

He kissed her hard, then asked hoarsely, "Baby, is the village quiet these days?"

The young woman widened her eyes, as if she had just woken up from a dream: "I stay upstairs all day. If you ask me, who should I ask?" She responded coquettishly, her voice full of grievance.

The old man smiled with satisfaction. He lifted the young woman up again, as if he wanted to fly upstairs with her.

But at this moment, his eyes suddenly became sharp. He slowly turned around, facing the flower pot where Shangguan Jiannan was hiding, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who is hiding behind the flower pot? Come out quickly and let me take a look!"

The young woman was frightened by this sudden change and screamed, fainting like a soft noodle. However, the old man seemed to have been used to it, holding the young woman steadily with his right hand, his eyes still fixed on the flower pot where Shangguan Jiannan was hiding.

Shangguan Jiannan felt a tingling sensation in his heart, and he felt a chill running from his feet to his head. He now understood that this manor was not a good place, and everyone here had unique skills and was unfathomable.

Especially this ugly old man, who made him feel an inexplicable fear.

But now that things had come to this, Shangguan Jiannan knew that escaping was not a solution. He gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and strode out from behind the flowerpot.

As soon as he saw Shangguan Jiannan, the old man's expression changed again. He frowned tightly and looked up and down at the child who suddenly appeared.

Then he turned his head and cast an apologetic glance at the young woman who was resting on his elbow.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I scared my little heart." The old man patted the young woman's body a few times, and she woke up slowly.

When she saw that the person standing in front of her was just a child who was only about ten years old, with a pretty face but thin and pale, she was obviously relieved.

"Oh my God, I was scared to death, it turned out to be just a child." The young woman gasped and fell weakly into the old man's arms again.

The old man looked at Shangguan Jiannan, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Boy, who are you? Why are you here?"

Shangguan Jiannan raised his head and met the old man's gaze without fear: "My name is Shangguan Jiannan, I was just passing by here and came in to take a look out of curiosity."

"Oh? Passing by? Curious?" A hint of amusement flashed in the old man's eyes. "Then what did you see?"

Shangguan Jiannan said bluntly, "I see that each of you has special skills. This is definitely not an ordinary place."

The old man laughed when he heard this: "Good boy, you have seen so much. However, it is better not to know. What do you think?"

Shangguan Jiannan stood in the center of the small building's garden, worrying about how he should deal with the sudden crisis.

At this time, the smile on the old man's face gradually faded, and his eyes became cunning and cold.

He raised his left hand and pressed Shangguan Jiannan from a distance in the air. A powerful force immediately lifted Shangguan Jiannan off the ground, and he floated in the air like a fallen leaf blown by a strong wind.

But the next moment, the old man retracted his hand, and the force quickly disappeared. Shangguan Jiannan fell to the ground and stood steadily on the ground.

The old man's expression eased a little, and he glanced at Shangguan Jiannan coldly, as if he was sizing up this young but brave child.

Then, he asked in a cold voice: "Boy, who brought you into the village? Tell me quickly!"

Shangguan Jiannan felt a tingling sensation in his heart, but he tried to remain calm. He held his head high and answered in a clear voice, "Of course he is from your manor."

"Who is that person?" The old man frowned slightly, and his eyes swept over Shangguan Jiannan like a searchlight.

Shangguan Jiannan became increasingly angry at the old man's aggressive attitude and said coldly, "That man didn't tell me, so I can't tell you either!"

The old man was stunned by Shangguan Jiannan's bold response. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but then he regained his coldness.

He asked in a sinister voice, "Humph! I will find out who brought you into the village sooner or later. Now tell me why that person brought you into the village?"

Shangguan Jiannan sneered and responded coldly: "Isn't it just to cover up your shame?"

The old man was obviously confused by this, his eyes full of doubts: "Cover up? What is there to be ashamed of in this village?"
