Qin Yu let out a breath, slowly retreated, and exited the small courtyard’s gate, walking unhurriedly towards the distance.

Yang Hui stepped forward, squeezing out what he thought was his most gentlemanly smile, "Miss Su, tonight the Yang Residence is not peaceful. I will protect you. Rest assured, you will not be frightened in the slightest."

"Young Master, do you know? Actually, you are my fright. I do not need any protection here, please feel free to leave."

Having said that, Su Ziyan turned around and walked towards the Embroidery Building.

Yang Hui was almost choked to death by Su Ziyan’s words, but he couldn’t lash out, and could only stare at Su Ziyan’s graceful back with bloodshot eyes!

"Young Master, she’s just a girl, why show off? You don’t need to be polite with her!" one of Yang Hui’s subordinates complained with dissatisfaction.

"Shut up!" Yang Hui turned around and left in a huff. This Su Ziyan, relying on her father’s protection, was giving him too little face!

"Young Master, is there anything else we need to do?" the lead protector Li Yang asked.

"Nothing else. You may all go back," Yang Hui said with a dejected face.

Li Yang glanced at the silhouette of Qin Yu not far away, hesitated slightly, and said, "Young Master, I should recognize all the guards in the mansion, but I find that man from just now somewhat unfamiliar."

Hm? Yang Hui recalled the scene just now and quickly realized the problem!

Indeed, something was amiss!

When he previously harassed Su Ziyan, she had never escorted him out of the room herself, but just now, for a mere protector, Su Ziyan actually escorted him downstairs?

This was too strange!

Damn it, that person just now was definitely an intruder!

And this intruder was acquainted with Su Ziyan!

As for why he didn’t take Su Ziyan away? Perhaps the intruder felt his own ability was not sufficient!

"You there! Stop right there!" Yang Hui charged frantically toward Qin Yu!

The other protectors, not understanding what had happened, hurried after Yang Hui.

Qin Yu was startled. Had he been exposed? Without hesitation, he took off running!

As Qin Yu ran, Yang Hui and the others became even more convinced of their judgment—the man ahead was the intruder!

Yang Hui was frustrated; despite exerting all his strength, the distance between him and Qin Yu only grew larger.

Damn it, was that guy ahead a rabbit or something? How could he run so fast?

"People! Block that man ahead for me!" Yang Hui let out a furious roar, mixed with his True Yuan!

Yang Hui’s roar drew many people towards him, and a large number of Protectors appeared in front of Qin Yu!

The weakest of these Protectors had the strength of the Early Stage of the Heavenly Human Realm. Qin Yu could easily take on one, but he couldn’t defeat a group in a short time!

If they entangled him, he was a goner! Once Yang Feiyu arrived, he would be done for! Qin Yu didn’t believe he could confront the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Secret Sect, who was at the Peak of the Quasi-Divine Realm, head-on!

Furthermore, if the Sect Leader’s Residence caused an uproar, the surrounding Elders would surely react immediately!

From what Zhou Tong had told him, Qin Yu knew that the Heavenly Secret Sect had no fewer than eight Elders at the Quasi-Divine Realm!

Zhou Tong had already advanced to the later stages of the Quasi-Divine Realm and only ranked third within the Elders’ Council. This showed that the strength of the Heavenly Secret Sect far surpassed Huanhai!

What to do? Qin Yu’s mind raced, his heart burning with urgency as he watched the Protectors drawing nearer.

In a critical moment, Qin Yu had a sudden inspiration, pointed towards the distance, and bellowed, "Are you blind? Didn’t you see the assassin run that way? Chase him down!"

Using True Yuan to amplify his voice, Qin Yu shook the will of all the Protectors!

Seeing Qin Yu act so authoritatively, the Protectors believed his words and scrambled toward the direction Qin Yu pointed!
