The leading man stopped and looked at the other with a surprised expression. "What's wrong?"

"I don't know why, but I feel like someone is following us." The man's tone was serious. As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced behind him, but it was too dark to see anything.

The leading man slapped him on the forehead and said in a low voice, "Are you stupid? Who would dare to follow us at this time unless they have a death wish!"

That was true, but the man still had that feeling.

"Maybe it's just my imagination?" the man muttered to himself.

Yuan Mu Ye, who was standing not far from them, was also stunned, wondering if the man had sensed something.

"Alright, everyone, hurry up. It's dangerous outside at night. If we can't get there, the boss won't care if something happens to us," the leading man said anxiously.

Hearing this, the man didn't say anything more.

Yuan Mu Ye initially thought these people were associated with evil ghosts and were going to find them. However, he didn't expect them to go to a secluded villa in the countryside.

Before even getting close to the villa, Yuan Mu Ye sensed the barrier around it.

Yuan Mu Ye was a little surprised, never expecting there to be a barrier in this place!

It seemed that the person living here should be an expert.

Yuan Mu Ye originally wanted to go in with them, but then he thought that if he did, he would definitely be noticed by the owner of the villa, and it would be bad if he alerted the enemy.

So, after some hesitation, he didn't go in and waited outside.

He waited for about half an hour, but no one came out.

Yuan Mu Ye became a little impatient, figuring that those people probably wouldn't come out, especially since it was so late. What could they do if they came out?

So Yuan Mu Ye decided to go back.

But just as he turned around to leave, he suddenly thought of something and asked the system, "System, is there any way to keep an eye on this place?"

"Yes, host, you can just get a puppet to stay here," the system replied.

Puppet?

But where could he get a puppet at this hour?

"Where am I supposed to get a puppet?" Yuan Mu Ye said with a pout.

"Host can spend 1,000 negative emotion points to purchase a puppet!"

The system's mechanical voice came again.

Yuan Mu Ye couldn't help but roll his eyes, but luckily, he could still accept 1,000 negative emotion points.

Then, Yuan Mu Ye spent 1,000 negative emotion points to buy a puppet.

He originally thought the puppet would be big, but he didn't expect it to be a small paper figure.

"Congratulations, host, the purchase was successful."

As the system's prompt sounded, a small paper figure appeared on the system screen, covered in talismans.

Damn, is that all it is?

This was completely different from what Yuan Mu Ye had expected. Most importantly, he spent 1,000 negative emotion points to buy a small paper figure that wasn't even the size of his palm.

What a waste of money!

The system was becoming more and more of a rip-off, and he couldn't even say anything.

Yuan Mu Ye helplessly took out the small paper figure.

The moment the small paper figure left the system, it came to life.

"Master, Master!" The small paper figure's voice was quite pleasant, a loli voice.

Yuan Mu Ye frowned slightly, wondering if this thing was even useful.

"System, are you ripping me off? Are you sure this little thing can help me?"

Yuan Mu Ye couldn't help but ask the system about his doubts.

"Don't worry, host, Xiao Yu'er may be small, but she's very useful. Most importantly, she can pass through the barrier here without being detected by the people inside. When you summon her, she can return directly to the system, saving you the trouble of coming back to find her."

Hearing what the system said, Yuan Mu Ye felt a little better. At least it was useful, or he would have really cursed the system.

So this little thing is called Xiao Yu'er?

"Xiao Yu'er, tonight, help me keep an eye on this place. Can I summon you back tomorrow morning?" Yuan Mu Ye said to Xiao Yu'er in a gentle tone.

Xiao Yu'er nodded and said, "Of course, Master, if you have anything to do, you can go back first!"

Yuan Mu Ye didn't expect this little guy to be so understanding.

"Okay, then I'll go back first!"

With that, Yuan Mu Ye left.

Yuan Mu Ye used the Ling Bo Wei Bu and quickly returned to Yun City.

At this time, Li Pang Pang also arrived and stood with Qi Feng on the city gate.

Seeing Yuan Mu Ye return, Qi Feng couldn't wait to ask, "How was it? Did you see where those people went?"

"I saw them. They went to a villa not far outside the city. Do you know what that place is?"

In comparison, Qi Feng was definitely more familiar with the situation here than Yuan Mu Ye.

Qi Feng thought for a moment and said with some surprise, "If I remember correctly, that villa seems to have been abandoned for a long time. How could anyone be living there? Are you sure you saw them go in there?"

"Yes, there's a barrier around the villa. If I'm not mistaken, the owner of this villa should be an expert," Yuan Mu Ye said with certainty.

Qi Feng didn't speak, lowering his head as if deep in thought. After a moment, he looked up at Yuan Mu Ye and said, "Should we go take a look tomorrow?"

It was indeed strange that a house that had been abandoned for so long suddenly had people living in it.

Yuan Mu Ye didn't answer Qi Feng directly, because he planned to wait for Xiao Yu'er to return and see what the situation was before making a decision.

"Let's just focus on guarding tonight. As for tomorrow, we'll talk about it tomorrow!"

Hearing Yuan Mu Ye say this, Qi Feng didn't say anything more.

After all, whether they could get through tonight safely was still unknown!

Time passed by, and it was soon the second half of the night.

Since nothing had happened in the first half of the night, Qi Feng and the others were quite surprised.

Around one o'clock in the morning, Li Pang Pang yawned repeatedly and said, "Mu Ye, why haven't those guys come to attack the city yet?"

Yuan Mu Ye stared at the dark city outskirts and replied in a low voice, "If nothing unexpected happens, they probably won't be coming tonight."

With such a big thing happening today, Li Mo Li would probably spare Yun City for the time being, out of consideration for Yuan Xiao Yao.

However, Yuan Mu Ye was still a little worried when he thought of the mysterious man who had appeared today.

If this mysterious man's strength was above Li Mo Li's, even if Li Mo Li didn't come, he might come, so it was better to be careful.

"Ah, why? Could it be that they've changed their strategy?"
