Xie Jiayan frowned, who else in Luoyang City would be so bold if not her.
She had thought that telling her Li Fu was at the Li Jing Men would make her retreat. As expected, with her personality, she was not one to give up easily. She dared to burn enemy camps, let alone the Li Jing Men.
"Your subordinate will drive her away immediately." The man cupped his fists and was about to leave when he was suddenly called back.
"Wait!"
"Does the Sect Master have further instructions?"
"Leave the jewelry behind!" No one could leave the Li Jing Men unscathed.
"Yes!"
To show her sincerity, Yu Mingyue had only brought two coachmen and two carriages. One carriage was filled with all her possessions, and the other was for her to ride in.
"Miss, please leave, otherwise..." The man drew his sword, pointing it at Yu Mingyue's face.
The cold glint of the sword as it was drawn flashed in Yu Mingyue's eyes.
Yu Mingyue hadn't expected them to turn on her without a word after taking the jewelry from the carriage, showing no martial ethics. .oγg
Although the Li Jing Men was very mysterious, they were still under the Sage's command, yet they acted so shamelessly.
"How can you do this?" Yu Mingyue had suffered such a loss, yet she was at their mercy and could do nothing.
The man laughed brazenly, "Haha, little lady, hurry home. This is no place for you."
He then turned and left, laughing wantonly.
Yu Mingyue had never suffered such a great loss, and she gnashed her teeth in anger.
It wasn't that she was heartbroken over the jewelry, but if she couldn't save Li Fu, how could she face his family with dignity?
"Miss, why don't we return to the manor first and think of another plan?" the coachman advised.
These two coachmen were also from Mingyue Garden and knew that their young lady was trying to save Li Fu.
They were surprised by their young lady's righteousness. Even when someone like them, mere servants, were in trouble, she was willing to spend a fortune to save them. They were willing to die in her service.
Although the Li Jing Men operated in the shadows and did unsavory deeds, they were not indiscriminate killers.
Scaring a young lady was already beneath them. Seeing that she was not afraid, they couldn't threaten her further. They couldn't possibly kill her.
"Not leaving? What kind of young lady is so reckless? How did her parents teach her?" the Ghost Mask Sect Master's voice turned cold.
Such indulgence of a daughter must mean she came from no good family.
"Your subordinate saw a jade character on the carriage. It should be from the Yu family, the Duke of Zhenguo."
The Ghost Mask Sect Master's eyes flickered, and he then waved his hand impatiently, saying fiercely, "Send that reckless young lady back to the Yu family and have her elders discipline her properly."
"Send her back?"
The subordinate was confused. Their identities made it difficult to visit the Duke's manor.
"Do you need me to teach you?" the Sect Master gritted his teeth.
The man immediately understood and quickly agreed before retreating.
Xie Jiayan had initially been worried about Yu Mingyue's safety, but now it seemed that the Sect Master of Li Jing Men was not a vicious villain.
"The Sect Master's magnanimity is admirable," Xie Jiayan cupped his hands towards the Ghost Mask Sect Master.
"Hmph, then let's settle your account first." The Ghost Mask Sect Master took a sip of tea before speaking slowly, "The Li Jing Men only brought back one person today. You say that young servant is yours, so why did the Duke's daughter come to redeem her servant? Are you also from the Duke's manor?"
He looked to be around the same age as the Duke's heir, but that unfortunate heir was with the Seventh Prince to quell the rebels, so this person was clearly not him.
The Ghost Mask Sect Master looked at the young man before him with great interest, his gaze seeming to have seen right through him.
