his hand and slashed a sword towards the top, sending the sky-piercing sword qi aside, stirring up the rubble. From between the rain of stones, Lu Xiaoteng also flew into the air.On either side of the...“It seems that the Wei Hou Mansion is going to be in quite a stir.” At this moment, within Lu Xiaotian’s small courtyard, in Ye Xin's room, there appeared an extra middle-aged woman. She sat by the window, watching the strange happenings outside with caution. Even this middle-aged woman, at this time, also had a look of astonishment on her face.
"Shall we change places" the woman named Ye Xin asked.
"No one has discovered your identity yet, so there's no need to worry. Even if you changed your appearance now, it's unlikely you'd find a safe haven." The middle-aged woman shook her head. "Let's wait and see. However, the person living in this courtyard with you is most likely the Lu surname youth you met at Yueyin Mountain Villa before." The middle-aged woman said.
"It should be him. I wasn't entirely sure before, but you and Uncle Yuan were both hiding near the Marquis Zhenwei's residence. On that day, no outsiders entered the Marquis Zhenwei's residence either. I originally thought it was just a resemblance, but considering this man lives in seclusion, his whereabouts are mysterious, just like the one at Yueyin Mountain Villa."
If Lu Xia Tian heard this at the moment, he would suddenly realize that this woman who lived a simple life like him was actually Xiang Lian’er who came out of Yue Yin Mountain Villa. And the middle-aged woman she called Xu Auntie was exactly Xu Wan, who had always been guarding Xiang Lian'er back then.
"Has this person noticed anything different about you" Xu Wan's eyes flashed with a few strands of killing intent.
"No, he has never inquired about me. For over twenty years, although I have spoken to other servants, it seems as if he is deliberately avoiding me and refuses to speak with me. Most of the time when he comes in and out of the courtyard, I don't even realize he's there." Xiang Lian'er thought for a moment before shaking her head and saying.
“With such behavior, they must have already noticed something is amiss with you.” Xu Wan said.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"Aunt Xu, what do you mean" Xiang Lian'er was startled.
“Perhaps they didn't recognize you, the other party just didn't want to get involved, causing trouble for themselves. That person is quite clever indeed.” Xu Wan slightly relaxed her breath and said, “Since the other party is a smart person, it's good news. However, there are strange things happening in Houfu again. Marquis Zhenwei hasn't returned yet, and Marquis Zhenwei's mansion may not be able to withstand those wolves with ambitions. It's really not the right time.”
“Aunt Xu, do you think this omen was caused by that surnamed Lu” Xiang Lian'er suddenly blurted out.

Xu Wan's face froze, then she became serious again. "Hearing you say it this way, it is indeed possible. Even I hadn't thought of it before. Although that young man surnamed Lu doesn't have high cultivation, his aura fluctuates erratically and he only appears to be at the early stage of Jindan, he must have cultivated some kind of breath-concealing technique. Otherwise, his combat power wouldn't be so formidable. He killed Hu Qin, who had attacked us earlier, with a single blow. His重創 silver orchid bandits was even more impressive, as he didn't even use his spirit beast. It seems that over the years, his magical powers have become increasingly profound, and he is refining some kind of powerful magic treasure. In this case, you are actually safe here, but I can't stay here for long, lest he return and arouse his suspicion."
"Aunt Xu, how can you say that" Xiang Lian'er said with a puzzled expression.
"The other party is hiding their identity here, content to be just a humble servant at the Marquis of Zhenwei's mansion. Perhaps they are using this place as a training ground." Xu Wan said, "Since he stopped the Silver Orchid Bandit, those who came to spy on us wouldn't have it easy either. If this person leaves, the phenomenon disappears with them, and those who wanted to take advantage of the treasure would naturally disperse. Your whereabouts wouldn't be noticed as unusual,"
But you should be careful not to get caught in the crossfire from those who come to peek around.
"Aunt Xu, please rest assured. I'll be careful. Those people only care about the treasure and wouldn't suspect a lowly maid like me." Xiang Lian'er nodded.

Two long, narrow shadows appeared not far from Lord Wei's mansion.
"Brother Feng, the appearance of such an unusual phenomenon at Lord Zhenwei's manor certainly suggests something unknown is afoot." A middle-aged scholar with a white fan in his hand scrutinized the distant Lord Zhenwei's manor bathed in moonlight, his eyes gleaming.
“Heh heh, I'm afraid we're not the only ones who have discovered that the Zhenwei Marquis Mansion is extraordinary. The phenomenon here is too peculiar, somewhat like the sign of a spirit-calling artifact being born, but not quite." The man called Brother Feng was leaning on a snake-head staff that looked as if it were woven from emerald vines.
"Therefore, it's first come, first served. Whoever takes the treasure first and leaves will have nothing more to worry about. With Lord Zhenwei Cao Sheng and his skilled retainers absent from the mansion right now, this is indeed a good opportunity." The middle-aged scholar with a white fan said.
"It's not necessarily so. Let's take a look first and then talk. The Zhenwei Hou Mansion is so big, it's impossible that only the two of us discovered it. Besides, this Hou Mansion isn't a good place either. The Yinlan Bandit suffered a heavy loss here and is now seriously injured, fleeing and avoiding his pursuers. He has no peace of mind. If the two of us get hurt here, I'm afraid other enemies won't let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Yinlan Bandit serves as a warning to us." Feng Shixian, the snake head staff man, shook his head and said.
“Since Brother Feng says so, then let’s wait and see.” Bai Shan scholar seemed to say with a hint of reluctance.
At this time, there were also several groups of people like Bai Shan scholar, standing outside the Hou Mansion. However, they were also wary of the hidden masters in the mansion, or the observers from elsewhere, and for a while, they couldn't make up their minds. But as time went on, someone finally couldn't hold back. With a flash of his figure, he entered the Hou Mansion.

Besides, two more figures were about to enter when they saw the silhouette leaping into Lord Zhenwei’s mansion. Their faces turned pale with fright and they immediately stopped their advance, retreating in panic.
"Goblin Crane Monster!"
While the Zhenwei Hou Mansion bathed in the essence of moonlight, a world as bright as day, the night sky outside remained pitch black. In that darkness, a black-robed elder with a flick of his wide sleeves, spread them like the wings of a demonic crane, moving with ghostly speed and agility. With a few leaps, he gracefully descended into the Zhenwei Hou Mansion.
The demonic crane monster had also discovered the trail of Bai Shan Scholar and Feng Shixian, the man with the snake-head staff. A pair of sinister eyes glanced back, a cold snicker escaped its lips, and it began to search wantonly within Houfu of Zhenwei for the source of the strange phenomenon that caused the essence of the moon.
The demonic crane monster that could make both Bai Shan scholar and Feng Shixian so apprehensive was not only a late-stage Jindan cultivator, but also had strange methods, a murderous nature. The number of Jindan cultivators who died at its hands, even those renowned ones, was already dozens, including some even at the same level as it - late-stage Jindan cultivators. Bai Shan scholar and Feng Shixian, both mid-stage Jindan cultivators, naturally feared the sudden appearance of this demonic crane monster.
"I didn't expect even the monster Crane to get involved. What are we going to do This monster Crane is notoriously vicious." The white fan scholar's face fell.
“It’s indeed a tricky situation. Even if the two of us join forces, we might not be able to match the formidable power of the Crane Demon. Let’s observe the situation first. Since even the Crane Demon has appeared, there's likely other powerful figures involved. Intervening rashly at this point wouldn't be wise; let's see if there are any opportunities to reap benefits from the chaos.”female cultivator from Gujianzong in one hand while single-handedly facing them.
