The Eighth Elder stared at Nangong Liuyun!

He didn’t expect that, after a few years, this incredibly talented young man had grown to enter such a realm!

"Back then, the City Lord forcibly suppressed your strength and laid out for you a solid path for promotion. Yet you are still acting disobediently?" The Eighth Elder stared at Nangong Liuyun with a reprimanding gaze.

Nangong Liuyun's jade-like face was elegant as always, with his thin lips still curved in an ambiguous smile: "It is precisely because I have listened to the words of my master and his old man that I have what I have now. Is Eighth Elder questioning my master's actions?"

Who dared to question the words of the City Lord? Wouldn’t that be like looking for death? The Eighth Elder frantically waved his hands and denied: "No, I wouldn’t dare!"

"You do dare to question my master's words, but are bold enough to beat up his goddaughter? You sure are gutsy," Nangong Liuyun mused coldy.

The goddaughter of the City Lord? The Eighth Elder unconsciously cast his gaze onto Su Luo.

Could this wench really be the goddaughter of the City Lord? The Eighth Elders' pupils contracted instantly, feeling a sense of pain like that of having just kicked an iron plate!

Thinking back to the diamond token in Su Luo's hand, the Eighth Elder’s doubts started to increase. Then because of those doubts, the hatred blossoming in his heart surfaced alongside his panic!

Hidden beneath his sleeves, his hands squeezed tightly into fists!

If the City Lord found out, he would undoubtedly die, so the most important thing now was to kill the witnesses!

The Eighth Elder took advantage of Nangong Liuyun's unpreparedness to ready an incomparably vicious attack, as he suddenly lunged towards Nangong Liuyun!

A sneer crossed Nangong Liuyun's handsome face as he pushed Su Luo to the side, before proceeding to start fighting with the Eighth Elder!

That was because as long as Su Luo was there, Nangong Liuyun would inevitably restrain himself. He moved as he fought and led the Eighth Elder outside.

Lingering shadows hung in the air as the two of them flashed about, and disappeared so quickly Su Luo couldn't catch up even if she wanted to chase them down.

As Su Luo chased after them, she saw a little clump of blood and flesh on the ground.

It was the Nine-Tailed Silver Fox!

At that moment, the pure snow-like fur on its body was soaked in blood like it had been fished out of a pool of blood. The bright red shade of the blood appeared just like that of fire.

Upon seeing this, tears almost fell from Su Luo’s eyes.

She no longer wanted to follow the battle between Nangong Liuyun and the Eighth Elder. Kneeling down, she held the little Nine-tailed Silver Fox in both hands as distress filled her heart.

Earlier, it was thanks to the Nine-tailed Silver Fox buying precious time for her that she was able to escape under the eyes of the Eighth Elder and reach Nangong Liuyun in time.

But because the Silver Fox had tried to save her…

Su Luo's fingers touched the heart of the Nine-Tailed Silver Fox. It was no longer beating.

Su Luo's heart felt like it had been squeezed tightly by a hand, and she fell into extreme despair, akin to what she had felt when Little 1 left her.

Su Luo knelt down on her knees, without knowing how much time had passed.

A calm and tranquil figure appeared behind her.

Nangong Liuyun's slender fingers patted Su Luo's small shoulders. Turning her head around, Su Luo looked right into Nangong Liuyun's eyes.

His eyes were as black as ink and clear enough to reflect the sun and the moon but appeared to be seemingly bottomless.

Nangong Liuyun gazed upon Su Luo, with not a speckle of complex feelings present within his eyes. He stood there quietly, as if he wanted to sear her image deep into the depths of his heart.

Su Luo's mind shook slightly.

She and Nangong Liuyun faced each other, her crystalline eyes reflecting in Nangong Liuyun's abstruse ones. Their gazes were as tranquil as they could be. This exchange seemed to touch the deepest part of each of their hearts.
