Chapter 161: Waiting for the Rabbit

The Murong Family was going to destroy the Foundation of Manduo Manor!

But the Murong Family miscalculated! How could Yu Xian allow petty river bandits to cause trouble?

Wait, since the Murong Family clashed with him on the way to Blackwood Cliff, they should know his cultivation level. So why did they still send these river bandits to attack Manduo Manor?

“Why do I feel like something is off?” Huang Rong also said.

After thinking it over, a slight smile curved the corner of Yu Xian’s mouth. “Something is indeed off.”

“Do you know what’s going on?” Seeing Yu Xian’s expression, Huang Rong felt that he must have figured out the conspiracy.

That’s right, Huang Rong felt that the river bandits’ attack on Manduo Manor this time was a conspiracy, but she couldn’t figure out what kind of conspiracy it was yet.

“If I’m not mistaken, it’s a diversionary tactic,” Yu Xian said with a smile.

“Hmm?” Huang Rong was confused.

“What is the most valuable thing in Manduo Manor?” Yu Xian asked.

“It is widely known that Manduo Manor is immensely wealthy,” Huang Rong quickly replied.

“No, it’s the Langhuan Jade Cave. To be precise, it’s the Martial Arts Secret Manuals inside the Langhuan Jade Cave.” At this moment, Li Qingluo’s voice came from outside.

Sister Ning, Li Mochou, Little Dragon Girl, and the others were with her, and they had all come over.

They had overheard Yu Xian and Huang Rong’s conversation from outside. Upon hearing Yu Xian mention a diversionary tactic and then asking what was most valuable in Manduo Manor, Li Qingluo immediately understood.

Someone was using a diversionary tactic, aiming for the Martial Arts Secret Manuals inside the Langhuan Jade Cave!

Upon hearing this, Yu Xian cast an appreciative look toward Li Qingluo. Li Qingluo was quite clever!

“Since you know the enemy’s objective, you must have a plan to deal with it. Tell us, we will listen to you.” Huang Rong saw the calm and confident expression on Yu Xian’s face and knew he was prepared.

“Good!” Yu Xian looked around at his women. Except for Li Qingluo and Wang Yu Yan whose martial strength was relatively low, the others were all Grandmaster level, completely capable of dealing with those river bandits.

“Qingluo, you take Mo Chou out to deal with those river bandits. Kill them if you must, make them tremble at the mere mention of the name Manduo Manor in the future!

Dragon Girl, you guard Sister Rong’s side, just in case.

Sister Ning, you and Yu Yan check the manor to see if anyone is sneaking in while the chaos ensues.

A Zhu, A Bi, you two also stay by Sister Rong’s side, take good care of Dumpling, and follow Sister Rong’s orders.” Yu Xian began to arrange.

Li Mochou alone would be enough for those river bandits.

“Okay!” The Women responded one after another.

“What about you?” Li Qingluo asked.

“Wait for the rabbit!” Yu Xian said with a smile.

“Don’t they want the Martial Arts Secret Manuals in the Langhuan Jade Cave? I will wait for them inside the Langhuan Jade Cave.” As Yu Xian spoke, he walked toward the Langhuan Jade Cave.

Yu Xian did not value the Secret Manuals inside the Langhuan Jade Cave, but Li Qingluo had already told him the location and the method to enter.

Thus, he easily entered.

A cave full of Martial Arts Secret Manuals would indeed make ordinary people’s eyes light up with greed, but in Yu Xian’s eyes, they were just a pile of waste paper. However, even if they were waste paper, he wouldn’t leave a single one behind for others. He reached out and collected the Secret Manuals within reach into his spatial storage.

Soon, the cave that was originally full of Secret Manuals became empty, leaving only the shelves and labels.

Not a single complete piece of paper remained! Yu Xian clapped his hands in satisfaction. What place could be more secret than his spatial storage?

After collecting everything, he went to the spot where Wang Yu Yan usually read and sat down, quietly waiting for his guests.

As expected, movement was soon heard outside.

Knowing the way in, it must be Murong Fu leading the group!

Yu Xian remained calm, just waiting quietly.

After a while, the stone door of the cave was opened. Three people, three masked men in black, flashed inside.

“This is the Langhuan Jade Cave, which collects all kinds of Martial Arts from the world…” One of the Black-Clad Men began to explain as soon as he entered the cave, but before he could finish speaking, he saw Yu Xian sitting leisurely to the side, watching them with a half-smile. His words were abruptly cut off.

“Oh, gentlemen, what a coincidence. Are you here to read as well? However, I’ve already finished reading all the books here, so you won’t get to read any,” Yu Xian said playfully to the three people who entered.

They were completely covered, as if afraid of anyone recognizing their identities. Yu Xian looked at them with disdain.

“General, he is Yu Xian!” The Black-Clad Man who had been about to speak looked at Yu Xian in horror.

“Young Master Murong, hiding and covering up like this is really pointless. Don’t think that just by wearing all black and a head covering people won’t recognize you. And the one next to you, a General? Could it be General Iron Tree Helian from Western Xia? Then who is the third person? Why not introduce yourselves?” Yu Xian maintained his smile.

Murong Fu’s single word, “General,” immediately made him associate it with someone: Murong Fu had impersonated Li Yanzong to join the Western Xia’s First Class Hall. Therefore, this so-called General was highly likely to be Iron Tree Helian.

Murong Fu wanted to earn merit in front of Iron Tree Helian, so he exposed the fact that the Langhuan Jade Cave in Manduo Manor held Martial Arts Secret Manuals.

As for the other Black-Clad Man, Yu Xian truly didn’t know who it was for a moment.

“How could you possibly know it’s me?” Murong Fu asked nervously, which indirectly admitted his identity.

It was mainly because Yu Xian was too terrifying. He had concealed himself so thoroughly, yet as soon as he entered, Yu Xian recognized him! Moreover, he even recognized Iron Tree Helian next to him! At this moment, Murong Fu began to feel hesitant again.

However, when he looked at the other Black-Clad Man beside him, he instantly regained his confidence.

“Hmph, Yu Xian, don’t think you’re invincible just because your Martial Arts is high. Where are the Secret Manuals here? Where did they all go? I advise you to hand them over obediently, or else!” Murong Fu glared fiercely at Yu Xian.

At this time, he also noticed that the shelves that were originally full of Secret Manuals were now empty. It was obvious that Yu Xian had taken them all away!

He brought Iron Tree Helian here for the sake of the Secret Manuals, but now there wasn’t a single one. How could he explain this? Therefore, he could only threaten Yu Xian to hand over the Secret Manuals!

“Or what? If I give you those Secret Manuals, can you take them away?” Yu Xian directly interrupted Murong Fu’s threat.

To think that Murong Fu, with his amateur skills, dared to threaten him! He was courting death!

Yu Xian stopped wasting words; he was never one for meaningless chatter. The Gentleman Sword suddenly appeared, and a streak of Sword Qi shot directly toward Murong Fu’s face.

“Be careful!”

The Black-Clad Man beside Murong Fu, who had remained silent and vigilant upon entering, immediately pulled Murong Fu behind him the moment Yu Xian struck, and then unleashed a sword strike to block Yu Xian’s Sword Qi.

However, he was still forced back a few steps by the Sword Qi, and then looked at Yu Xian in disbelief: “How is this possible? How could your Martial Arts have improved so quickly?”
