Chapter 565 The fate card is broken
"What? Idiot, what an idiot, go and call him back to me quickly, and tell him that he will live in the City Lord's Mansion during the Genius List competition." City Lord Yan became angry instantly when he heard this.
I've seen stupider people than anyone else, but I've never seen anyone as stupid as this.
At best, he was just a squatter. The owner was about to come back, but he didn't run away and even wanted to arrange accommodation for the owner.
Given Huo Lan's personality, it would be unjustifiable if he wasn't beaten up.
In fact, what City Lord Yan didn’t know was that Yan Xiao had already turned into ashes and dissipated into the air.
"Yes, City Lord." The guard hurriedly took the order and went forward.
When he arrived outside Huo Lan's yard, he saw that the two lackeys who usually helped Yan Xiao guard the gate were missing.
He had a bad feeling.
Could it be that Huo Lan had returned and found Yan Xiao living in his yard, and was closing the door and beating him?
So the guard put his ear against the door and listened. After listening for a while, he found that it was very quiet inside, no screams or wails for mercy.
Could it be that those two lackeys are taking a break today?
Knock knock knock!
The guard knocked on the door!
A disciple of the Dark Temple came over and opened the door. When he saw that it was a guard from the City Lord's Mansion, his face immediately turned gloomy.
"Is there something wrong?" The disciple of the Dark Temple looked at him coldly.
"I'd like to ask, where is Master Yan Xiao?" the guard asked with a stiff face.
"Master Yan Xiao? Who? You've come to the wrong place. This is the residence of Master Huo Lan." The disciple of the Dark Temple said and closed the door.
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion knew something was wrong as soon as they saw it!
So he rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion.
yard.
"Young Master, Master Lan, the people from the City Lord's Mansion just came." The disciple walked in to report.
"Don't pay attention to them." Huo Lan said.
"Yes." The disciple of the Dark Temple took the order and went down.
"It seems that the city lord will come in person soon." Nangong Xi spread his hands.
"So what if he's here? This is my exclusive residence. He actually allowed his nephew to occupy it. The worst that can happen is I can go to Ancestor Tianfu to seek justice." Huo Lan looked indifferent.
"Who is this talented ancestor?" Nangong Xi's eyes were full of curiosity.
"He is the actual ruler of Talent City and the one who set up the Talent List." Huo Lan explained.
"So, the city lord is just a decoration." Nangong Xi spread his hands.
"You can say that, but generally speaking, minor matters are handled by the city lord." Huo Lan nodded.
In the City Lord's Mansion at this time.
"What? You said Huo Lan and the others have already checked in, and you also said they don't know Yan Xiao?" Upon hearing the report, the city lord slammed the table and stood up.
"That's right." The guard nodded.
"How is this possible? Could it be that Yan Xiao suddenly became smart and moved away a long time ago?" City Lord Yan looked puzzled.
"Go to the Yan family and ask if Yan Xiao has returned?" the city lord ordered the guards.
"Yes, City Lord." The guard took the order and went forward.
"Yan Yi, come out." The city lord thought about it and still felt something was wrong. It was impossible for Yan Xiao to suddenly become smart.
"Go to Huo Lan's residence and check to see if there is anything unusual?" City Lord Yan ordered.
"Yes." Yan Yi took the order and left.
Nangong Xi and the others are here.
"Demon Concubine, Demon Concubine, I caught a little mouse." An Ming threw Yan Yi in front of Nangong Xi.
Yan Yi was devastated at this moment, because he had just sneaked in here and hadn't even started to investigate when he was caught.
"Where did this little mouse come from?" Nangong Xi looked at Yan Yi who was tied up and thrown on the ground by An Ming.
"I guess he came out from the City Lord's Mansion." Huo Lan on the side said softly.
"Then how do we deal with this?" Nangong Xi walked around him.
"Braise? Steam? Boil?" An Ming asked from the side.
Nangong Xi: ...
Anming, you foodie!
"Anming, not everything can be eaten." Nangong Xi looked at Anming speechlessly.
"Demon Concubine, I'm not going to eat it. Give it to the animals." Anming looked at Nangong Xi.
Nangong Xi: ...
Give it to the animals to eat, but they dislike the little mouse because it is smelly.
"What did the city lord send you here for?" Nangong Xi squatted beside Yan Yi.
"Find out the whereabouts of Master Yan Xiao." Yan Yi did not hide anything and spoke honestly.
Don't braise, steam, boil and then feed to animals.
It’s scary to think about it!
"Yan Xiao? Who is that?" Nangong Xi was completely confused.
"The person who lived here before." Yan Yi looked at Nangong Xi.
Nangong Xi stood up quickly and cut the rope on Yan Yi.
"Go back and tell the city lord that we haven't seen that Yan Xiao. Don't send anyone else, otherwise he will never come back." Nangong Xi looked coldly at Yan Yi lying on the ground.
The competition for the Genius List is about to begin, and Nangong Xi does not want to create any complications, otherwise he would definitely admit that he was the one who killed Yan Xiao.
"Thank you, young lady, for not killing me." Yan Yi said this and left.
"This guy doesn't look like a secret guard at all." Looking at Yan Yi's departing back, Nangong Xi couldn't help but complain.
"It should be said that he is a weirdo among the secret guards. Usually, secret guards will never reveal their master's purpose even if they are beaten to death." Huo Lan also complained.
In the city lord's mansion.
At this time, the strange secret guard Yan Yi had returned to the City Lord's Mansion. He explained what had happened to the City Lord.
"My son, my poor son, my Xiao'er, who is so cruel to kill you?" At this moment, a wailing sound was heard, and a heavily made-up woman walked in while wailing.
When City Lord Yan saw it, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"City Lord, City Lord, you have to avenge your nephew." The woman wailed even louder when she saw the City Lord.
"Sister-in-law, what happened?" City Lord Yan's voice interrupted the woman's wailing.
"City Lord, today Xiaoer's life plate suddenly cracked. He is dead. He was murdered." The woman's face was full of grief.
"The fate plate is broken? Dead?" The city lord collapsed in his chair upon hearing this.
Yan Xiao was the only root of their Yan family, and now he died without a sound.
Who killed him?
"It was Huo Lan, it must be Huo Lan who killed him!" The city lord suddenly stood up and walked towards Huo Lan's residence.
"Huo Lan? Is that the Huo Lan who ranked second on the genius list?" The woman's face was full of disbelief when she heard it.
She didn't know why Huo Lan actually killed her own son!
In fact, only Yan Xiao and the city lord knew that he had occupied Huo Lan's residence, and the other members of the Yan family were completely unaware of it!
Nangong Xi and the others are here.
Several people were drinking tea in the yard when the gate was knocked again.
A disciple from the Dark Temple went over to open the door.
Seeing the door open, City Lord Yan walked in without saying a word.
"Where is Huo Lan?" City Lord Yan asked, suppressing his anger.
"City Lord Yan, according to the regulations, the City Lord is not allowed to enter the residences of the ten geniuses without permission." Huo Lan's gloomy voice came.
