Chapter 440: Chapter 442: Siblings Reunite (Part 9)
Outside the main gate of the Xiao Family.
Mu Ruyue stood at the entrance, her gaze scanning the formidable gate in front of her, yet before she could step forward, she was blocked by a long spear barring her way.
“Stop right there!”
The guard looked at the woman in white before him with a cold eye and said in a chilly voice, “This is the Xiao Family’s estate, not a place where common folk can intrude at will!”
“I am here to look for someone,” Mu Ruyue lifted her gaze, speaking faintly, “I wonder if Xiao Feng is here?”
“Xiao Feng?” The guard was taken aback and sneered, “Sorry, we don’t have anyone by the name of Xiao Feng here!”
Not here?
Mu Ruyue’s brows furrowed as she contemplated.
That old man shouldn’t have lied to me, but how could big brother not be at the Xiao Family?
She lifted her head to look at the guard before her, a glint of light flashing in the depths of her eyes, “Are you sure Xiao Feng isn’t here?”
“Absolutely!” The guard waved his hand impatiently, “I said he’s not here, and that means he’s not. You’d better leave now, or don’t blame me for being rude!”
Third Young Master Xiao had already instructed that anyone looking for Xiao Feng must be turned away at the gate.
Mu Ruyue’s expression darkened, reading from the guard’s demeanor that her big brother was definitely in the Xiao Family estate. Then why was he lying? Could something have happened?
With this thought, a sense of urgency rose in her heart, “Move aside!”
“Tch, you’re actually telling me to move? This is the Xiao Family’s turf, and you have no right to run wild here!”
“Scram!”
Mu Ruyue’s expression turned icy as she raised her hand and released a burst of qi energy. With a boom, the guard’s body suddenly crashed into the courtyard, his face ashen as he glared at Mu Ruyue.
Without any hesitation, she strode into the Xiao Family estate, the urgency in her eyes revealing itself.
“Someone, come quick, there’s an intruder in the Xiao Family estate!”
As soon as the guard’s voice fell, a line of people ran out from the courtyard. Among them, a middle-aged man took the lead with a particularly stern expression and sinister eyes that swept over the courtyard before landing on Mu Ruyue.
“Who are you? How dare you harm a member of the Xiao Family?”
Third Young Master Xiao looked at Mu Ruyue furiously.
He had suffered an indignity at Xiao Baixuan’s hands that day and naturally needed a vent for his anger, and now someone had rashly intruded.
“Where is Xiao Feng?” Mu Ruyue’s gaze was cold as she looked at Third Young Master Xiao, a murderous intent bursting forth from her, “Has something happened to him?”
If something had gone wrong with him, she wouldn’t mind making these people accompany him in death, right?
“Xiao Feng?” Third Young Master Xiao was taken aback, then sneered, “What relation do you have with Xiao Feng?”
Mu Ruyue looked at Third Young Master Xiao with cold eyes, “Xiao Ruyue.”
“Xiao Ruyue, so you bear the Xiao surname as well?”
“Indeed, I am Xiao Feng’s younger sister, where exactly is he?”
Third Young Master Xiao collected himself, his lips curling into a sneer of disdain, “So you are the progeny of that useless Xiao Yun, who was long since expelled from the Xiao Family. Who gave you permission to enter our Xiao Family? Miss, I’m sorry, but our family’s threshold is too high for you to cross, so please leave. I can pretend I didn’t see you, otherwise, don’t blame me for being inhospitable…”
Mu Ruyue’s gaze darkened, could it be that big brother was really in trouble? An involuntary surge of anxiety welled up inside her as she shouted loudly, “Out of my way!”
Third Young Master Xiao scoffed, “Miss, are you really opting for punishment over a drink? If that’s the case, don’t blame me. Men, throw her out.”
Xiao Feng was one thing, with his father protecting him, but not everyone could cling to the Xiao Family’s coattails…
