Realm of the Night God

Apart from selecting the right person to execute this task, Yang Haoran had another concern in his mind, which was customizing a flesh vessel.

To customize a flesh vessel, he had to go to the Underworld, and the Underworld Envoy customizing a flesh vessel in the Underworld was not a strange thing. However, if he frequently customized flesh vessels and each one was the same, it would be quite suspicious and difficult not to attract attention.

If Ye Zhiqiu were at home, this matter would be easily resolved. He could simply hand over the task of customizing the flesh vessel to Ye Zhiqiu, which would not only save him from going to the Underworld but also avoid drawing attention from others. This approach was the most reliable.

Unfortunately, Ye Zhiqiu was not at home, and summoning him back to refine a flesh vessel seemed a bit excessive, as Yang Haoran couldn't determine whether Ye Zhiqiu had more important matters to attend to at the time.

Just as Yang Haoran was considering whether to forcibly summon Ye Zhiqiu back, a power fluctuation occurred again outside the Mountain and Water Formation's barrier.

The three of them sensed the power fluctuation simultaneously, their faces filled with doubt.

This power fluctuation was not strong, and in Yang Haoran's eyes, it was quite weak. However, what caught their attention was not its strength but the fact that it was the Yin spirit power unique to their Yin Division.

From this, it was likely that the person who appeared outside the Mountain and Water Formation was their Lecheng Yin Division's Night Watch.

"Heh heh, today is really lively, with guests coming one after another."

As the saying goes, "when it rains, it pours." With someone coming to their doorstep, and possibly even their own Night Watch, Yang Haoran thought it might not be a good thing, and it could be another trouble.

"I'll go take a look at the situation."

Master Wu spoke up, although Yang Haoran was the Burial Master of Lecheng, Master Wu had always been in charge of Lecheng Yin Division's affairs. With the Night Watch arriving, it was likely that something big had happened in the Yin Division.

Just then, a gust of cold wind suddenly swept through the study room, and Xiu Juan appeared outside.

"What's the situation outside?"

Yang Haoran asked Xiu Juan, who had been keeping an eye on the outside situation and naturally had some knowledge of what was happening.

"Xiao Xiao has arrived, and judging by her face, something big must have happened. She looks very anxious, and there's blood on her body."

Who was Xiao Xiao? The three people present knew that she was Master Wu's precious granddaughter. Upon hearing this, their faces changed again, especially Master Wu's, whose face changed the most.

"Boss..."

Although Master Wu was very anxious and even had a bad premonition, he didn't rush out of the study room in a panic. Instead, he looked at Yang Haoran.

"Outside is not a place to talk. Xiu Juan, bring Xiao Xiao in first. Whatever the matter is, it's safer to discuss it in here."

Xiu Juan nodded and hurried out to bring Xiao Xiao in, while Yang Haoran looked at Master Wu.

"Don't worry, Old Wu. I'm here to handle any big trouble."

Yang Haoran's face wore a faint smile as he comforted Master Wu.

Master Wu nodded, but the anxiety on his face didn't disappear. Earlier, Yang Haoran had implanted a Death Mark Seal on Master Wu's family members, including Wu Xiaoxiao, to give them the ability to protect themselves.

Although they had the Death Mark Seal planted by Yang Haoran inside them, strictly speaking, they didn't count as Yang Haoran's Night Watch because Yang Haoran hadn't asked them to do anything that Night Watch should do.

It was precisely because of this that Wu Xiaoxiao suddenly rushed to this place, looking anxious, which suggested that it wasn't the Yin Division that had encountered an issue, but rather something big had happened to the Wu Family.

Yang Haoran could think of this, and Master Wu could think of it too. That's why Master Wu's anxiety didn't dissipate due to Yang Haoran's single sentence.

Under Xiu Juan's lead, Wu Xiaoxiao quickly arrived at the study room. At this time, Wu Xiaoxiao looked disheveled, with visible bloodstains and wounds on her body, as if she had fought with someone.

"Grandpa!"

Wu Xiaoxiao's first reaction upon arriving at the study room was to hug Master Wu tightly and burst into tears.

Master Wu's heart tightened, and his bad premonition grew stronger. However, in front of his granddaughter, he couldn't fully express his emotions, as he felt that would only add to Wu Xiaoxiao's psychological burden.

"It's okay, it's okay. Let's talk about it slowly, let's talk about it slowly."

Master Wu gently patted Wu Xiaoxiao's back while trying to comfort her.

Bai Xue didn't say a word, watching Wu Xiaoxiao tightly hug Master Wu, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a bad premonition arose in her heart as well.

Yang Haoran wiped the smile off his face, shifting his gaze from Wu Xiaoxiao to Xiu Juan.

"Keep an eye on the outside situation. Today's been eventful, and I appreciate your hard work."

Yang Haoran spoke, and Xiu Juan bowed respectfully to Yang Haoran, not thinking that he had done much.

"This is what Xiu Juan should do. It's not hard at all. If the divine envoy needs anything, please feel free to instruct Xiu Juan."

After Xiu Juan left, Yang Haoran turned his attention back to Master Wu and Wu Xiaoxiao.

Wu Xiaoxiao was still crying in Master Wu's arms, and Yang Haoran watched the scene unfold without urging her to hurry up. Instead, he lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled, waiting for Wu Xiaoxiao to calm down.

After smoking half a cigarette, Wu Xiaoxiao's crying gradually subsided under Master Wu's comfort.

"Xiao Xiao, what's going on? Tell Grandpa clearly. Don't just cry; crying won't solve any problems."

Master Wu spoke, and Wu Xiaoxiao responded between sobs.

"There's been a big incident at home. My dad and uncle were taken away, and my mom... they're all dead."

Upon saying this, Wu Xiaoxiao burst into tears again.

Master Wu was stunned, his facial expression suddenly becoming rigid.

"What... what did you say?" The reference version of this chapter is on M*V*LEMPYR.

Master Wu seemed unable to believe his ears, his voice trembling as he asked Wu Xiaoxiao to confirm.

Wu Xiaoxiao didn't respond, instead crying again to vent her emotions.

Bai Xue's facial expression changed slightly. She didn't have family, so she couldn't fully understand Wu Xiaoxiao and Master Wu's emotions at this time.

However, in her eyes, Yang Haoran was family, and the others in this villa were also her family. If they encountered an issue, she wouldn't feel good either.

So, at this time, although she couldn't fully understand Master Wu and Wu Xiaoxiao's sorrow, she could still empathize with them to some extent.

Due to her understanding, she didn't speak rashly, as she didn't know what to say in this situation. She felt it was better to let the two calm down before speaking.

Yang Haoran smoked, his eyebrows furrowed even tighter, and his smoking frequency increased unconsciously. He finished the cigarette quickly and lit another one, taking a drag before speaking to Wu Xiaoxiao, who was still crying.

"Xiao Xiao, tell us what happened clearly. Continuing to cry won't change the outcome and will only waste time."

Yang Haoran said this because he had heard Wu Xiaoxiao's previous sentence clearly.

Others had died, but her dad and uncle had been taken away. In this situation, the earlier they understood the situation, the earlier they could prepare. If Wu Xiaoxiao didn't explain the situation clearly and continued to cry, that would indeed be wasting time, and might even put her dad and uncle's lives in danger.

"What the boss said is right, Xiao Xiao. Tell us what happened, and don't cry anymore."

Master Wu took a deep breath, trying to make his tone sound calm, but it didn't have much effect. His voice still trembled when he spoke.
