Chapter 545 Fire

The fire quickly burst out of the secret room, engulfing this deserted courtyard.

"Go away!"

The patrolling guard yelled, and all of a sudden, everyone rushed to tell each other, asking everyone to go to the deserted courtyard to fight the fire.

Chen Luo didn't say anything. After he returned to his room, he locked himself up and didn't respond to anyone who knocked on the door.

When Mo Qing came back, he saw the old city lord's courtyard raging with flames.

He took a servant casually, frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

When he went to chase the carriage, he chased it all the way outside the city, until just now, he gave up the chase and turned back.

"Master Moqing, you are back!" The boy wiped his sweat and said, "For some reason, the deserted courtyard where the old city lord lives suddenly caught fire, and the servants are fighting the fire."

"Where are the city lord and the young master?" Mo Qing asked again.

"After the city lord came back from the outside, the servant has never seen him again. I just knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response. The young master is in his yard."

Mo Qing let go of the boy, and ran towards Chen Luo's yard.

Although he failed to catch up with the carriage, he could recognize that the driver was his elder brother Mo Yi, and when the wind lifted the curtain, he could still vaguely see that there seemed to be two people sitting in the carriage.

Apart from City Lord Xie, there should be no other person who can let his brother act as the coachman.

Seeing that he couldn't catch up, he had no choice but to turn around and come back, intending to tell Chen Luo about Xie Cheng's coming to Dark Night City, but he didn't want to, as soon as he came back, he saw the mansion was busy.

After he entered the courtyard, he first went to the study room, and then returned to Chen Luo's bedroom after seeing that there was no one there.

Seeing that the door was closed, he hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

In the room, Chen Luo was sitting decadently. When he heard the knock on the door, he raised his eyelids slightly, but he didn't intend to get up to open the door.

"Master, it's me!"

Mo Qing knocked on the door a few more times, but when no one responded, she shouted.

When Chen Luo heard his voice, his eyes became slightly focused.

He was silent for a while, then got up and walked over, pushing the door open.

"Master, did something happen?" Mo Qing asked in a low voice after entering the door.

It wasn't long before he separated from his master, why did the master haggard like this?
"It's nothing." Chen Luo shook his head, tiredness in his voice.

He rubbed his temples, looked at Mo Qing and asked, "Is that Mo Yi?"

"Yes!" Mo Qing nodded, "It seems that City Lord Xie is also here."

Hearing the words "City Master Xie", Chen Luo froze slightly, "He's here too? What is he doing in Night City?"

Mo Qing was surprised. In the past, whenever his master mentioned City Lord Xie, his face would become gloomy and terrifying, but today, his tone was surprisingly calm, even a little weak.

"Master, have you been to the back mountain?"

Apart from this, he really couldn't figure out what else could make the master look like this.

Chen Luo didn't speak, and Mo Qing knew that he was acquiescing.

"So, what happened back then?" Mo Qing asked.

"Everything is revealed." Chen Luo smiled wryly, "But it's not what I've thought the truth is all these years."

Mo Qing found that there was a sense of desolation in the master's body. In those eyes, the coldness of the past was missing, and there was more annoyance and regret.

He is a smart man, without Chen Luo asking, he probably guessed the truth of the matter.

The master will show this expression, thinking that these things should be related to the assassination of the old city lord by the city lord Xie.
