After coming out of the Dragon House's inner mansion, Li Longling walked toward her residence, guided by the maid waiting outside.
She couldn't shake the feeling that there was something wrong with her father right now.
Why was he unwilling to invite the elders of the Black Star Sect or the Immortal Matriarch to come over and take charge of the overall situation?
It wasn't that she didn't believe her father could deal with the situation.
She just felt that writing a letter to ask the Immortal Matriarch to come over was undoubtedly one of the safest ways.
Moreover, the Matriarch and her father were old friends, and they had not seen each other for many years. She thought that her father would be very happy when she proposed to write to the Matriarch and invite her here. However, she did not expect that her father not only was not happy but also got really angry instead...
"Heh..." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Hearing her sigh, the little maid who was leading her, asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Li Longling shook her head. "Father seems to be very unhappy."
"Well... I have noticed too." The maid nodded in agreement. "Master Li is always frowning these days. I remember that he used to drink three pots of spiritual herbal tea every day. Now he doesn't even drink one pot."
"Is that so?"
Li Longling was a little surprised, then she reminded the maid, "You have to keep an eye on my father for me these days. I may be busy investigating things related to the demonic cultivators, and I won't be able to come over to see him every day during this period."
"I understand. Don't worry, Young Miss! I have been taking care of Master Li for so many years, I definitely won't neglect him."
"Alright."
After a while, the maid leading the way suddenly stopped and grabbed her wrist, signaling her to stop.
"Who are you?!"
Hearing the maid's shout, Li Longling tensed up.
This was the inner mansion of the Dragon House, and it was late at night. Logically speaking, no one should be walking around here.
Moreover, the maid holding her hand has been working in the inner mansion for decades. If she raised an alarm, it meant that someone she had never seen had appeared.
"What's wrong?"
"Miss, there is a maidservant in front of us whom I have never seen before. She doesn't seem to be a guard of the Dragon House, but her cultivation level seems to be very high."

"Hmm?"
Li Longling felt a little confused and quickly released her spiritual sense, but she did not detect anyone in front of her.
Da da--
The sound of footsteps in hard-soled shoes came closer and closer.
A woman in a long black dress walked up to them and cupped her hands, saluting Li Longling. "Miss, my name is Wu Yue. Master Li asked me to assist you in investigating the matter of demonic cultivators in the Dragon House."
"Wu Yue..."
Li Longling was not familiar with this name.
She could tell by heart the names of the two thousand guards and most maids and servants in the mansion, but she did not remember anyone named "Wu Yue" among them.
Also, the woman standing in front of her now had a scent that was unfamiliar to her.
After a while, Li Longling asked, "You say my father asked you to help me investigate the demonic cultivators?"
"Yes."
Wu Yue confirmed with a smile, took out a small jade pendant from her storage bag, and handed it to Li Longling with both hands.
"This is a token given to me by Master Li. Please take a look at it, Miss."
"Take a look..."
Li Longling didn't know if she was making a bad joke, and she showed a little dissatisfaction, but after a short hesitation, she still asked the maid to fetch it for her.
"Ling'er, help me get it."
The maid reached out to take the jade talisman from Wu Yue's hand, sniffed and touched it, and then checked it with her spiritual sense. After confirming that there was no danger, she sent it into Li Longling's hand.
After taking the jade talisman brought by the maid, Li Longling carefully touched its carvings with her fingers and then used her spiritual sense to explore its energetic print.
When she felt the name "Wu Yue" engraved on the jade talisman, with the Dragon House's seal, and that the material was spiritual flaming jade produced by the Dragon House, she felt a little relieved.
This jade talisman was indeed given by her father. Moreover, it would only be handed over to a very small number of guards. Whoever had this jade talisman in the Dragon House should have completely gained her father's recognition and trust.
"Well, then..."
Seeing Li Longling relax, Wu Yue smiled slightly. "Miss, you should have gone to see Master Li just now. Didn't he tell you? The matter of demonic cultivators is no small matter. I have been ordered to protect you, Miss."
"I don't need protection."
Wu Yue shook her head and explained further. "Miss, your cultivation level is still low. The demonic cultivator who died in the Dragon House was already at the Core Formation stage. If there are other demonic cultivators, their level should not be low. Most of the mansion guards are only in the Foundation Building stage. If something happens, they can't protect you."
Li Longling listened in silence, then asked, "Why have I never heard of your name before? If you received this jade talisman, then my father should have mentioned you to me."
"This..." Wu Yue hesitated for a while before replying. "Miss, is it possible that you can remember the names of everyone in the Dragon House?"
Li Longling replied without even thinking. "You should know that I have memorized the list of all the guards and servants of the Dragon House."
"..."
Speechless, Wu Yue pursed her mouth and flattered her. "Miss, you are truly worthy of your reputation. I have long heard that you can remember everyone in the mansion, but I didn't expect this to be true."
"So, what is your situation?"
"I only got the jade talisman from Master Li three months ago. I guess he hasn't had time to mention it to you yet. Isn't this jade talisman enough to gain your trust, Young Lady?"
Li Longling frowned and retorted, "Regardless of whether I believe you or not, I am very dissatisfied with your attitude. You are one of the very few people in the mansion who dares to tell me to take a look."
"So that's it..." Wu Yue quickly bowed her head and apologized. "Miss, I apologize to you. However, no matter if you are willing, I will stay by your side from now on to protect you. If you don't believe it, I'm sorry. You can go ask Master Li."
"Then, I'll ask him now."
With that said, Li Longling turned around and asked the maid to lead her back toward the inner mansion. At the same time, she also perked up her ears and listened to the heartbeat of the person named Wu Yue.
After walking a dozen steps or so and realizing that her heartbeat was still calm, Li Longling stopped and walked back again.
"Forget it, I won't bother my father anymore. If you want to follow me, do whatever you want."
"Thank you for your understanding, Miss."
Wu Yue narrowed her eyes and smiled, then extended her hand to help Li Longling.
However, Li Longling naturally turned down her hands and asked the maid beside her to lead her toward the residence.
Seeing this, Wu Yue was a little surprised. For a moment, she wondered whether she could see, but she didn't say anything and followed her obediently without saying a word.
