By this time, Dragon Phoenix Manor had already begun reorganizing its forces. The dark side had personally stepped out to surround them. Moreover, in order to consolidate their influence, they didn't retaliate against Ning Luo that quickly.
It turned out that in the vicinity of the Dragon Phoenix Villa, many small and large powers had started to get restless after seeing Xuanyuan Yu's death. They wanted to take over the responsibilities of the Dragon Phoenix Villa and occupy the entire area of influence of the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range.
In fact, in the courtyard of the east wing of Dragon Phoenix Villa, there was an artificial lake constructed to house people. A hexagonal pavilion had been built in the middle of the lake, which extended all the way through a curved bridge corridor.
But when Ning Luo came here, although he had lived here for a long time, he would always be busy every time, so he had never been here before. However, the dark side was different; his purpose here was to clean up the Dragon Phoenix Villa, and as such, he could understand that this pavilion was not hard to find.
That night, because of Xuanyuan Yu's matter, the Black Faced Army had been in a state of unconsciousness all along. Although Palace Master Xuanyuan did not have much of an attitude towards his death, Xuanyuan Yu was still palace master's most important disciple.
Black Faced carried a flagon in his hand as he staggered across the bridge corridor and arrived at the hexagonal pavilion.
In the pale moonlight
He quietly walked to the stone table and thought of the words of the Red Rose of the Falling Heavens. Suddenly, his brows tightened as he thought to himself.
”Just what is the relationship between this Red Rose and Young Hall Master? If you really want revenge for yourself, then why did Young Hall Master find an outsider to do it? Why didn't you find someone to notify Palace Master Xuanyuan?”
Although Red Rose was in the front hall that day, the experienced Black Face still heard some things from her mouth. However, because she was afraid of alerting the enemy, she didn't ask any further questions.
He had always been in Xuanyuan Palace and had accompanied Palace Master Xuanyuan, so he had mostly heard about Xuanyuan Yu's matters along the way. He did not understand what he had done at Dragon Phoenix Villa and had abruptly intervened, so without understanding the reason first, how could he determine if Ning Luoluo had done it or not?
At this moment, Blackside was deep in thought when a woman's voice suddenly called out to him from the shore.
”Black Faced Great Protector?”
The voice contained a hint of surprise, as well as a sense of heaviness. The dark face immediately turned around, only to see a red rose. It was playing with its slender waist as it slowly walked towards him.
Under the moonlight, after seeing the newcomer and being blown away by the night wind, the alcohol on the black-faced man's face instantly attacked his head, causing his vision to blur a little.
”It's you …”
A fragrant scent wafted over. Red Rose who was sitting in front of Black Faces smiled faintly and asked.
”If it wasn't me, who else would it be? Why would the black-faced Protector want someone else to come?”
Red Rose's tone was full of flirting and seduction. Although the Black Faced Monarch was currently intoxicated, he was still a person with too many connections. He wouldn't lack this sort of composure. After all, he was different from Xuanyuan Yu.
”Miss Hong, you're still not going to bed at such a late time. What's the matter?”
Black Face's tone began to sound dissatisfied, and his gaze turned icy cold to a certain extent.
Red Rose's heart turned cold as she did not expect Black Faced God to be so clear-headed. She was worried that Black Faced God would doubt her words during the day, so when she saw him drinking to the pavilion, she quickly chased after him to investigate.
