"Remember clearly, the eldest lady is in a very bad mood right now. Not to mention you, even if the master comes in person, I'm afraid it won't be easy!
Hey, the eldest lady is in the private room No. [-] on the first floor. You can invite her yourself.

Don't blame me for not reminding you, if the eldest lady doesn't want to leave, it won't matter who you move out! "

Cuizhu felt quite proud when she saw the other person lowering his head and not daring to get angry, and also said something in a "good mood".

In fact, it is more of a warning than a reminder.

"Yes, yes, that's what Miss Cuizhu taught you."

No, upon hearing this, the middle-aged man in gray robe bowed his waist again, becoming more and more submissive, and agreed in a low voice.

Then he turned around, took two deep breaths, stabilized his emotions, and walked towards the elegant room guided by Cuizhu.

"Bang bang bang..."

After the door was knocked, Zhao Ziyan's lazy and charming voice came from the room:

"what's up?"

"Reporting to the eldest lady, the master has sent his subordinates to inform you that the dinner has been prepared. Please come over and have a meal."

"Oh? Father asked you to come to me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ziyan's tone changed instantly, and her face also showed a trace of joy.

"Well, it was indeed the master who sent the young one to inform us."

The middle-aged man outside the room was silent for a moment, and then said truthfully.

"Okay, I know, I will come right away!"

Zhao Ziyan's mood instantly became happy. After saying this with a smile, she stretched her body and slowly stood up from the chair.

Afterwards, Zhao Ziyan tidied up her appearance and slowly opened the wooden door of the elegant room.

Outside the private room, in addition to the men in gray robes, there were also several men in green robes with solemn faces.

Seeing Zhao Ziyan come out, the men all knelt down on one knee and said in unison:
"Miss."

Zhao Ziyan paused for a moment, then waved her hands slightly, her original joyful mood disappeared, and her tone became very indifferent: "Forgive me!

My father was so worried about me that he actually sent all of you personal guards out to arrest me...

Ah……"

At the end of the sentence, the helplessness and anger in his tone were not concealed.

"Eldest lady, please calm down. The master is also worried about the safety of the eldest lady. After all, there are many heroes from all walks of life in Haoyue City today. If something goes wrong, we cannot bear the responsibility!"

The middle-aged man quickly explained after hearing this.

"Hmph! Father is worried that I'm going to mess with Wangyue Restaurant again and embarrass him, so just tell me!"

After hearing the middle-aged man's words, Zhao Ziyan shook her head, a look of disapproval flashed across her face.

Then I didn’t know what came to my mind, and when it came to my mouth to refuse, my words changed again:
"But since my father has said so, I can't go against his wishes.

Let's go, I will go back to the banquet now. "

After saying that, she took the lead and walked out the door.

The few personal guards behind him followed closely, surrounding Zhao Ziyan as she walked out.

"Ouch……

"

Suddenly, Zhao Ziyan seemed to have stepped on something, her ankles crooked, and her body leaned forward uncontrollably.

If you fall down in this posture, you will definitely break your head and injure your arms and legs. You must know that every building in Haoyue City is equipped with a rebound formation. If you are not careful, you are very likely to be injured by the formation.

Even cultivators are no exception.

Therefore, the guard closest to Zhao Ziyan stretched out his hand like a reflex.

But his speed was not as fast as Zhao Ziyan's, and as expected, the formation was triggered. In desperation, the guard jumped in front of Zhao Ziyan.

As a result, Zhao Ziyan was not injured at all, but the bodyguard suffered from the rebound of the formation and his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell backward.

With a "plop", the guard fell to the ground on his back, let out a muffled grunt, and then fainted because the back of his head was rebounded by the formation again.

"Ah? What's going on?" Zhao Ziyan was shocked when she saw the guard who suddenly fainted.

This was not her intention to embarrass her personal guards, and the damage caused by the rebound of the formation was not something she could predict.

Therefore, Zhao Ziyan quickly squatted down to check the condition of the guard.

"Huh? Why doesn't it feel right?"

Zhao Ziyan frowned and murmured to herself.

She found that the guard's chest was rising and falling violently, and there was a slight wheezing sound, but there was no movement of inhalation.

Just when Zhao Ziyan was wondering, the two maids Cuizhu and Yumei who were waiting for someone at the door suddenly screamed:
"Ah ah ah..."

"Miss...he...his eyes..."

Zhao Ziyan's heart suddenly thumped, and she subconsciously raised her head to look into the eyes of her personal guards. The next moment, she was frightened and took several steps back, almost falling without realizing it.

When other people around him saw this, they all turned their attention to the guard's eyes.

I saw the guard's empty eyes open, and his eyes were dark.

His pupils had long lost focus, and he didn't look like a living person at all.

This scene made everyone's hair stand on end.

"He, he... how did he die?"

Zhao Ziyan pointed at the guards with trembling hands, her voice full of shock and panic.

Obviously, Zhao Ziyan felt that the guard was no longer alive in this condition.

"Pfft", before Zhao Ziyan could finish her words, the guard who was in a bad condition suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Bright red blood sprinkled on his face, dyeing his face a strange bright red.

At this time, everyone could clearly see the appearance of the personal guard.

At this time, the guard's skin became extremely pale, as if dry straw was piled on the surface of the skin.

Wisps of thick black liquid seeped out of his nose, eyeballs, ears and even his seven orifices, which looked extremely terrifying.

Such a scene was disgusting, especially the eerie red light emitting from the guard's eyes, which made people shudder.

"hiss……"

Zhao Ziyan couldn't help but shudder when she saw this scene. She felt a cold wind blowing down her spine and shivered.

At this moment, Zhao Ziyan suddenly saw a ray of light flashing out from the guard's neck, and then quickly disappeared.

"Ok?"

Zhao Ziyan glanced around and found nothing unusual, but she still felt uncomfortable in her heart.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Cuizhu on the side noticed that Zhao Ziyan looked wrong and asked quickly.

"Uh... nothing."

Zhao Ziyan took a deep breath, calmed down her chaotic breath, and then said slowly:

"Let's keep going!"

After a pause, he turned to the middle-aged man in gray robe and said:
"You help me arrange for that personal guard, and I will pay three times the pension for the blond hair, all out of my account.

In addition, let’s check what happened just now. If it was really an accident, it would be fine. If not..."

Zhao Ziyan didn't say any more, but everyone present understood what she meant.

"Miss, please don't worry. I promise to give you an explanation."

The middle-aged man bowed respectfully and responded.

Zhao Ziyan nodded slightly and continued walking with a few personal guards.

Unexpectedly, the bodyguard who was supposed to be dead suddenly stood up and rushed towards Zhao Ziyan.
