Quickly, Dong Wenshu arrived with a large group of people.

Seeing his daughter unharmed, Dong Wenshu breathed a sigh of relief. Facing the quiet green-clothed man flipping through a book nearby, he was unsure what to say, having learned through his son who this person was.

As for Shi Chun on the side, he didn't know who he was either and saw no need to pay attention.

With too many outsiders around, Dong Wenshu was also hesitant to say much, and turned back to ask Dong Liangyu what had happened.

Dongliang Ying expressed uncertainty as well, saying she was suddenly frozen and saw nothing.

The group then crowded over to the other end of the damaged window to inspect and chatter noisily.

Even those who witnessed the commotion of the window breaking from outside couldn't see clearly who flew out, as it happened too quickly.

On the mountain peak within the city, City Lord Li Xianghong encountered confusion again. The activated City Defense Array suddenly shut down, and she summoned the relevant person in charge to clarify. The person in charge didn't understand either, claiming it briefly shut down before restarting normally.

At the library, people from the City Guard also came over, politely inquiring after the incident, only noting the strange events relayed by the people present without daring to ask further, as per instructions from above, subtly hinting that powerful figures were backing this place, urging them not to provoke.

Most people didn't know that the powerful figure referred to was the Demon Queen, as those privy to the matter didn't gossip or spread the news, leaving many, including the City Guard, unaware of the truth.

Those who suffered injury and loss from the damage to the neighboring house ran over to the library crying, demanding an explanation.

After people dispersed from the second floor, peace returned.

With no more people around, the green-clothed man put down the book in his hand, turned to Shi Chun, and curiously asked, "Why are you watching over me?"

Shi Chun was startled and thought to himself, Can I leave? Then why did you freeze me earlier?

He wanted to ask if he could leave, but changed the words at the tip of his tongue, trying another approach: "Earlier, was the thief killed by you, sir?"

The green-clothed man spoke truthfully, "They got away."

Shi Chun was instantly speechless, instinctively glanced out the window, his heart tightened. Can he still go outside? Is the person waiting for him there?

He knew well the tracking power of the Demon Eye; no matter how he disguised himself or used eye-blocking skills, it was useless.

Unsure of the situation, he truly didn't dare to leave rashly. If the person here had no ill intentions, staying nearby might still be relatively safe, considering they could drive away that Demon Path master.

The green-clothed man suddenly asked again, "Judging by your cultivation, it's not remarkable. Who are you, and why is Mo Shiliu personally hunting you?"

Shi Chun smiled bitterly, "Just an unlucky person. May I ask, sir, who is Mo Shiliu?"

Seeing he didn't want to confess truthfully, the green-clothed man was too lazy to delve further, glanced once more at the boots on Shi Chun's feet, then continued reading his book.

Shi Chun thickened his skin to ask again, "May I know your name, sir, so I can set up a longevity plaque for my benefactor upon returning?"

The green-clothed man didn't bother lifting his eyelids, casually said, "Get lost!"

Well, with a face full of embarrassment, Shi Chun could only withdraw and leave, walking away hesitantly as if to say, I'm really going.

Seeing that the other party indeed had no intention of stopping him, he left relieved, not going elsewhere, heading straight to the staircase area, and ran up to Dong Liangyu, quietly asking, "Second Miss, who is that green-clothed man inside? Your father seemed polite, as if he knew him."

This inquiry was merely to gather information to better understand how to proceed.

Actually, Dong Liangyu was also curious, but with the chaos earlier, she hadn't had the chance to ask. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "I don't know either." And then asked in return, "What happened just now?"

Shi Chun spread his hands, "How should I know, I was also frozen, unable to move. The person inside suddenly started fighting, all top masters, scared me out of my wits."

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps coming upstairs was heard, it was Dong Liangze, bringing two craftsmen to repair the damaged window.

Men are men, unlike his two sisters, glanced at Shi Chun without any suspicion, greeted Dong Liangyu, then took the craftsmen to work.

After Dong Liangze left, Shi Chun bowed repeatedly to Dong Liangyu, softly pleading, "Second Miss, you know, I'm just a book lover, just want to look at the books, nothing else in mind, please don't tell anyone, okay?"

He certainly didn't dare to easily consider silencing anyone now; he didn't dare leave lightly, and there's a master sitting here, life's dilemmas are called difficulty; he indeed came across one.

Dong Liangyu had many questions in mind, but were all blocked by his previous statement that knowing too much would harm them.

Seeing her noncommittal, Shi Chun immediately expressed his gratitude with folded hands, securing the promise.

Knowing this family's character or perhaps their upbringing, promises made would not be easily broken.

Then he quickly slipped back to the third floor. While Dong Liangyu thought he liked reading, in reality, there was hardly any. First, contacting Wu Jinliang to arrange rescue matters was true.

Of course, after contact, and since it wasn't advisable to leave now, he might as well browse through books related to the Netherworld while he was at it.

He didn't know, but every book he read and put back quietly and silently had a portion discreetly removed from Qi Ping's arrangement whenever he wasn't paying attention...

In a secluded courtyard, where control over Yin Tianlu had previously occurred, a hint of blood hung in the air.

There was a knock at the courtyard door, Jiang You'er guarding the door immediately opened it personally, and a cloaked person strode in.
