Chapter 1307 The Man in the Dark

"Sheng Xue, how is the senior brother? Why isn't he here?" Dongfang Ruocao asked.

"Are you asking about the Third Prince?" Sheng Xue's face suddenly turned ugly.

"Yes, you and the third prince are inseparable. Why didn't he come to such a grand event as the Holy Mountain Banquet? It's really strange." Dongfang Ruoyu continued.

Sheng Xue lowered her head and thought for a while, and finally told the truth.

"To be honest, my brother left half a month ago on the night he received the invitation."

"Left? Where did you go, senior brother? Didn't you leave any message? A note will do!"

"That's right, doesn't the Third Prince know that you are worried about him?"

"..."

The Dongfang sisters talked nonstop.

Sheng Xue lowered her head, not knowing how to answer.

At this moment, Lu Yun came from a distance.

"Miss Sheng Xue, we should set off now. The road ahead is difficult, so we can't waste time." Lu Yun smiled and said, "Perhaps the Third Prince is waiting for us on that holy mountain."

"Okay, let's go this way. Don't make your brother wait anxiously."

Sheng Xue stood up hurriedly.

"Hey! Why are you like this? We sisters finally meet each other, what's wrong with chatting for a while?" Dongfang Ruocao suddenly jumped up.

Lu Yun stretched out his hand and asked, "Is this jade pendant Miss Ruocao's?"

"You...when did you steal my jade pendant? Give it back to me now!"

Dongfang Ruocao was instantly moved and reached out to grab the jade pendant.

Lu Yun was faster and put his hands behind his back.

"You! What do you mean? Give me back the jade pendant!" Dongfang Ruocao shouted angrily.

"My fellow Taoist, the jade pendant is my sister's favorite thing. Please return it to her and don't joke about it." Dongfang Ruoyu said with a cold face.

"Return? Why change it?" Lu Yun asked meaningfully, "Since Miss Ruocao doesn't want this jade pendant anymore, can't I just pick it up?"

"You are so unreasonable! Who said I don't want this jade pendant? Give it to me now!"

Dongfang Ruocao reached out to grab Lu Yun's collar, and Lu Yun hurriedly stepped back.

"Hehe, since Miss Ruocao still wants it, why did you deliberately leave it behind?" Lu Yun said coldly.

"What did you say?"

Dongfang Ruocao was stunned for a moment, and her expression changed several times in an instant.

Hearing the quarrel, Sheng Xue hurried over from a distance.

"My benefactor, please don't joke with her. Ruocao has been a naughty child since she was young." Sheng Xue pleaded for mercy.

"Who's kidding her?"

Lu Yun's momentum instantly reached its full potential.

That cold expression shocked the three women.

Lu Yun was seen staring at Dongfang Ruocao with his eyes narrowed.

"Do you think that since Miss Sheng Xue treats you as friends, I won't be on guard against you? Huh?" Lu Yun stepped forward and asked.

"You...what do you mean by this? I...don't understand!" Dongfang Ruocao stepped back unconsciously.

"What do you mean?"

Lu Yun held up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully over and over again.

"There are magical fluctuations on this jade pendant. Do you dare to say that it is not sending a signal to your companions?"

Lu Yun took another step forward.

"You...you are talking nonsense! You...you just don't like me! You..."

Dongfang Ruocao retreated again and again, and even Dongfang Ruoyu's expression became increasingly uglier.

"Am I talking nonsense? We'll know if it's true or not once we test it!" Lu Yun shouted behind him, "Brother Black Tiger!"

"Hey! I'm here, bro!"

Hei Hu came running over with a machete in his hand.

"Brother Black Tiger, I now suspect that these two people have set a trap for us. I want you to control these two people and keep an eye on Miss Sheng Xue and the invitation!"

He deliberately emphasized the word "invitation".

"What?"

Hei Hu widened his eyes, looked at the Dongfang sisters, then at Sheng Xue, and then punched Lu Yun's arm.

"Brother, is it possible that the effect of the Mingyu drug in your body has not worn off yet? What nonsense are you talking about?" Hei Hu pointed at the Dongfang sisters and said unhappily, "They are Miss's senior and junior sisters, dear to her!"

Lu Yun felt unhappy when he heard his words.

The saying is true: I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates, because his intuition is always accurate.

"Brother Black Tiger, just do as I say, and I will prove it to you!"

"Stop messing around, we need to hurry on!"

After saying that, Heihu was about to leave with the knife in hand.

Lu Yun was quick-witted and snatched the ghost-head knife from his hand. In the blink of an eye, he put the ghost-head knife on Dongfang Ruocao's neck.

"Benefactor! What are you doing? Put down the knife quickly!" Sheng Xue shouted worriedly.

Lu Yun ignored her and shouted towards the dark forest beside him: "Come out, I know you are here!"

After a while, three people slowly walked out of the dense forest in the direction Lu Yun was looking at.

"Sheng Xue, where did you find this person? He's obviously a rookie!" asked the leading man with disdain.

"Second senior brother!"

Sheng Xue was stunned, then looked at the Dongfang sisters.

Two men followed behind the second senior brother, with their swords drawn.

The three of them walked slowly towards Sheng Xue, and Hei Hu hurriedly stood in front of Sheng Xue.

The other eight guards did not dare to delay and drew their swords, guarding Sheng Xue and Xiao Lu, ready to attack at any time.

"You two are really something! I told you that when you see Junior Sister Sheng Xue, you should tell her that I am protecting her in secret. Look what happens now, you have been misunderstood." The second senior brother blamed.

"Yes, Second Brother, it's our fault." The Dongfang sisters' faces suddenly lost color, as if they had seen a ghost.

"I said, you're just a fool..."

"My name is Lu Yun!"

"It's not important." The second brother waved his hand and said, "We are all family. Put down the weapon in your hand and don't hurt my junior sister Ruocao."

"Haha, if you tell me to let you go, I'll let you go? What if I don't?" Lu Yun didn't give him any face at all.

The second senior brother spread his hands and pouted, "Junior Sister Shengxue, look, this is the person brought by the Third Prince? How are you going to explain to the Master that he doesn't know the rules? If Junior Sister Ruocao gets into trouble, how will the Third Prince save face?"

"I..." Sheng Xue bit her lip, speechless.

That resentful look was always fixed on Lu Yun.

But Lu Yun remained unmoved.

"If you want me to release him, just hand over your invitation and I will release him immediately!" Lu Yun put forward his conditions.

"Hahahahahaha!" The second senior brother laughed loudly towards the sky, as if he had heard the funniest joke.

He laughed and shook his head and said to Lu Yun: "Boy, I think you really don't understand the current situation!"

Suddenly, the second brother's face turned cold.

"Boy, I advise you to be sensible. If you don't let them go, none of you can leave here!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! I'm not afraid of anything except people kneeling down and kowtowing to me!" Lu Yun refused to give in: "If you hand over the invitation obediently, it will be fine. If you don't, my hand may not obey me!"

As he watched, he deliberately shook the hand holding the knife, and a blood mark appeared on Dongfang Ruocao's snow-white neck.
