a few days later.
Hua Yu and Jiang Shaoxu set off from the capital and embarked on a journey to Shaoyu Mountain.
This trip to the capital city has allowed Hua Yu to finally pass his father-in-law's test.
Jiang Shaoxu was never a quiet person at home, and Jiang Tianchen rarely inquired about her whereabouts. However, before leaving, he specifically instructed Hua Yu to protect Jiang Shaoxu well.
He only has one daughter!
Hua Yu naturally understood his meaning, nodded deeply, and then solemnly assured him a few words before leaving the Jiang family with Jiang Shaoxu.
Hua Yu was originally overjoyed and prepared to take Jiang Shaoxu to see the mountain villa named after the two of them, but when they arrived at Shaoyu Mountain, Hua Yu's expression instantly turned serious.
Within his perception range, the number of blue moths in the entire manor had decreased by a full two-thirds.
He didn't really care whether these moths lived or died, because even if they all died, he still had the ability to breed a new batch of moths.
However, the death of these moths suggests that something must have happened at the manor.
good good!
Even in our own territory, people dare to cause trouble!
Hua Yu held Jiang Shaoxu's small hand tightly, her face solemn, and walked silently into the villa.
Jiang Shaoxu keenly noticed the change in Hua Yu's expression, and she quickly suppressed her playful mood, quietly following behind Hua Yu.
Since Jiang Shaoxu had just arrived and was not yet wearing the specific badge of Shaoyu Mountain, the remaining moths quickly discovered the intruder and immediately sent an alarm signal to the nearest patrol team.
"Who goes there?" The patrol team received the signal from the moths and rushed over.
But when they recognized Hua Yu, they all shouted in unison, "Boss!"
Upon hearing this shout, Jiang Shaoxu's lips twitched slightly.
Why does this name give off such a bandit-like vibe?
Hua Yu stared expressionlessly at the patrol team members. It was clear that many new people had come to his manor during his absence.
Among this patrol team were many unfamiliar faces.
Hua Yu nodded to them, then said calmly, "Have Ji Liang come find me."
"Boss, Manager Ji went out some time ago and is not currently in Shaoyu Mountain," a squad leader explained.
Upon hearing this, Hua Yu frowned.
Haven't they come back yet?
Hua Yu knew that Ji Liang was away, but he didn't expect that Ji Liang would be gone for so long.
However, thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, with him guarding the manor, those troublemakers wouldn't dare to come.
"Then let Li... hmm?"
Just as Hua Yu was about to have the patrol team call Li Yunlai, he suddenly paused slightly.
The entire manor was now devoid of the presence of Li Yun, the second-in-command of the Liangcai Hunters Group.
A high-level mage might be able to evade his senses, but it would be impossible for a high-level mage to do so within this manor.
Li Yun has truly disappeared!
Hua Yu waved his hand, signaling the patrol team members to leave.
He decided to go to Yu Shishi's residence in person to ask her what had happened.
"Brother Xiaoyu, what happened?" Jiang Shaoxu finally couldn't help but ask when he saw that Hua Yu's expression had softened.
Hua Yu frowned, pondered for a moment, and then replied, "I don't know yet. I need to find someone to ask about the situation."
He looked around and found that apart from the moths that had been eliminated, the entire manor did not seem to have suffered much damage.
However, to his bewilderment, Li Yun had vanished without a trace.
In addition, two familiar auras appeared near Yu Shishi's residence.
Why are they here?
With this question in mind, Hua Yu led Jiang Shaoxu to the west side of Shaoyu Mountain, which was Yu Shishi's residence.
Upon arriving here, Hua Yu discovered that Shaoyu Mountain had not suffered no losses, but rather that all the losses were concentrated on the west side.
Nearly half of Flying Moon Mountain was ravaged by flames.
This is where Yu Shishi's moths live, and the moths are especially afraid of fire, so it's no wonder that they suffered such heavy losses.
Setting fire to the mountain will land you in jail for life!
Fortunately, the cabin in the woods that Hua Yu built for Yu Shishi at the foot of the mountain was not damaged.
Not long after the two entered the dense forest, they saw someone they both knew very well watering flowers.
That icy yet stunningly beautiful face could only belong to Mu Ningxue.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Shaoxu looked at Mu Ningxue with a puzzled expression, and then looked at Hua Yu beside her.
When did these two get together?
As if sensing Jiang Shaoxu's thoughts, Mu Ningxue gently put down the watering can and explained, "It has nothing to do with the captain; I came on my own."
Just then, Yu Shishi came out of the wooden house and was slightly taken aback when she saw Hua Yu suddenly arrive.
When Yu Shishi looked at Hua Yu, Hua Yu also saw her. Although she hid it well, Hua Yu still noticed that her face looked extremely haggard, as if she had just been crying.
"Tell me what happened?" Hua Yu asked in a deep voice.
Although Yu Shishi didn't want to cause any trouble for Hua Yu, she knew that as the master of Shaoyu Mountain, he would find out about what had happened here recently. After hesitating for a moment, she gave Hua Yu a look.
Hua Yu understood what Yu Shishi meant. He reached out slightly and pulled Jiang Shaoxu into his arms, saying, "Just say what you want to say. She's my woman."
Yu Shishi glanced at Hua Yu, then at Jiang Shaoxu nestled in his arms. After a few seconds of silence, she spoke, "It's the Research Society. They've been looking for me."
Upon hearing the name of the organization, the Research Society, Hua Yu roughly understood, but he still had one major question in his mind.
"I don't understand, how did they get in?"
Logically speaking, Shaoyu Mountain's defenses were already quite good. Hua Yu wouldn't dare say that this place could withstand the attack of a group of experts, but with Qing'e and the patrol team on guard, how could the outer areas be in good condition while this deep inside suffered such damage?
It's like someone infiltrated our territory!
"It was the vice-captain of the Liangcai Hunters Group. He personally led that group of people to find me." At this point, Yu Shishi's emotions visibly became agitated.
Li Yun was in charge of recruiting and interviewing outsiders. With him around, no one could escape the double vigilance of the patrol teams and the moths.
At that moment, a hint of killing intent flashed in Hua Yu's eyes.
He could punish those who coveted his manor through proper means, but for those who dared to betray him, he only had one way to deal with them.
Traitors, no matter how far away, will be punished!
