The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 480 - 444 Nine Emperor Hall

The Twelfth Floor. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Qiao Yuxian leaned against Gu Yanjing, admiring the ring on her hand.

Suddenly, fireworks exploded outside, illuminating the room.

Making the room full of diamonds and gold even more dazzling.

Qiao Yuxian looked out the window.

Watching one firework after another outside.

Purple fireworks, in various shapes, lit up the sky.

So beautiful it felt like stepping into a dreamlike space.

Qiao Yuxian kept watching, and after a while, she walked to the window, watching the fireworks outside.

Just as she stood still, seven large characters appeared in the sky spelling "Happy Birthday Qiao Yuxian".

A look of surprise appeared in Qiao Yuxian’s eyes.

She turned to Gu Yanjing: "Did you see that?"

"Yes." Gu Yanjing walked to her side and kissed her once more, "Happy birthday."

"Thank you." Qiao Yuxian stood by the window, watching the fireworks continuously bursting outside.

At that moment, inside the Twelfth Floor, in one of the rooms, Yuan Wei’s voice emerged from a dark corner.

His voice was very soft.

Pressing his earpiece, he said: "I didn’t find my sister here."

Ah Yuan said: "I got nothing here either."

Sister Ji: "Nothing."

Yaoyao: "Nothing."

Master Heng: "Same here."

Sister Ji: "We’ve been in here for over an hour and have achieved nothing."

Master Heng: "The area of the Twelfth Floor is so vast and the security so tight. Plus, with so many flowers and night lights. Even the slightest shadow can be seen. It’s a miracle we haven’t been discovered."

Yaoyao said with some annoyance: "What’s with these random fireworks? It’s no different from daytime. I think if I go out now, I’ll just be a target."

Yuan Wei: "Is the new owner getting married today? It’s so extravagant."

Master Heng: "If I could become the new owner of the Twelfth Floor, I would make it even more grandiose."

Ah Yuan: "Is our boss really here?"

Yuan Wei said: "Definitely. My sister’s SOS mentioned the Twelfth Floor."

"Then there are only two places left." Yaoyao said, "That brightest building and the slightly dimmer one next to it."

"Sister Ji, your call." Master Heng said.

"After the fireworks, we’ll meet at the brightest building, and if we’re discovered, we’ll fight head-on." Sister Ji said.

"Understood." Everyone replied softly.

The fireworks lasted for nearly ten minutes before quieting down.

The sky fell dark again.

Yuan Wei and the others waited for a while. Seeing no further movements, the group started making their way to the brightest building for the rendezvous.

Their skills were good, but just as they reached the building, they were discovered.

"Who are you?" Qian Laoer stood in front of the building, eyeing the five of them.

The five were also ready for a fight, so it didn’t matter if they’d been found.

None of them spoke, advancing directly to fight.

Qian Laoer also promptly joined the fray.

The other guards at the Twelfth Floor, upon hearing the commotion, also rushed over.

Quickly, two groups collided in a fight.

The people from the Twelfth Floor hurried to inform Gu Yanjing.

The door was knocked when Qiao Yuxian was biting a gold brick.

She had already left a bite mark on a golden rose.

Now she was biting into a gold brick.

Gu Yanjing watched her.

Then the door was knocked again.

Both looked toward the door.

Gu Yanjing said: "Enter."

The person outside came in and said: "Boss, someone intruded on the Twelfth Floor at night. There’s a fight outside."

Gu Yanjing asked: "Anyone familiar?"

All these people were brought over from Yujing Manor by him.

If not familiar, and the opposing force wasn’t significant, he wouldn’t report now.

It’s enough to catch them and deal with it later unless the opposing force is substantial, requiring his command.

"From the Nine Emperor Hall." The person reporting said, "I saw Yu Heng. Plus four others, all quite skilled."

Qiao Yuxian’s eyes widened.

She was completely frozen.

Gu Yanjing also paused, thought for a moment, and said: "Let Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon and Wan Ying go over. Leave them alive."

Qiao Yuxian suddenly looked at Gu Yanjing, complete shock on her face.

He wants to take my kingdom down!!!

"Understood." The entrant was about to leave after responding.

Qiao Yuxian promptly stopped him: "Wait a minute!"

The person paused, looking at Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing looked at Qiao Yuxian.

Qiao Yuxian said: "Where are they? Let me see."

The person looked at her, then at Gu Yanjing again.

Gu Yanjing felt an uneasy sensation, asking: "Where?"

The person said: "In the building next door."

Qiao Yuxian immediately headed out.

Gu Yanjing followed close behind.

Though it was the adjacent building, there was still some distance between the two buildings.

Qiao Yuxian jogged over.

Seeing the two groups tangled up in a fight.

In the darkness, under the lights.

She could see five people in black clothing: Kaiyang, Phecda, Yao Guang, Yu Heng, and Yin Yuan.

Qiao Yuxian looked at the scene, froze for a moment, then quickly rushed into the crowd.

Pushing Yuan Wei and Qian Laoer aside.

Gu Yanjing closely followed her.

The two stood between Yuan Wei and Qian Laoer.

"Mr. Gu."

"Sis."

They called simultaneously.

Gu Yanjing looked at Yuan Wei.

He wore a hat and a mask, making it hard to identify.

But his voice, Gu Yanjing recognized immediately.

"Sis, are you alright?" Yuan Wei stepped forward.

Gu Yanjing looked at him, then glanced at Qian Laoer again.

Qian Laoer caught his gaze and quickly said: "Stop!"

The people on the Twelfth Floor gradually stopped.

The people from the Nine Emperor Hall also halted.

The Twelfth Floor people remained vigilant.

The people from the Nine Emperor Hall glanced at them and then all rushed toward Qiao Yuxian.

"Boss." they called, "Are you okay?"

Qian Laoer’s eyes bulged round.

What!

What!

Who are they calling boss!

Gu Yanjing’s brow twitched. Even though he was used to such things, he was still amazed.

He kept his composure, merely looking at Qiao Yuxian.

But in his head, three words repeated: Nine Emperor Hall.

Qiao Yuxian looked at them, seeing they weren’t hurt, said: "What are you... doing here?"

Phecda looked at her attire, the big diamond ring on her hand, then at Gu Yanjing, then with some awkward embarrassment, said two words out loud: "Rescue you."

Yaoyao was at the rear, bowing her head.

Ah Yuan seemed to vanish.

Master Heng stared at the sky, observing the flowers and night lights around.

What new owner celebrating their ascension.

This was clearly Gu Yanjing celebrating their boss’s birthday.

Gu Yanjing seeing this, looked again at Qian Laoer.

Qian Laoer understood, leading the Twelfth Floor people away.

Soon, only a few remained.

The awkwardness slightly lessened but still lingered.

Qiao Yuxian frowned, puzzled: "Why... rescue me???"

No one spoke, as if their mouths were sealed shut.

Qiao Yuxian watched, waiting for them to speak.

Facing Qiao Yuxian’s puzzled gaze, Master Heng took the lead, pushing the pondering Yuan Wei forward.
