Chapter 741 Chapter 741: Rongrong's Speculation!
Elder Yang's obsidian black eyes shone brightly in surprise and excitement when he saw Tang Li Xue suddenly appear right in front of him.
It was truly like a dream come true for Elder Yang since he had already missed his Xiao Bai very much in these few days.
Elder Yang stepped closer to Tang Li Xue with a silly intoxicated smile on his handsome masculine face.
"Xiao Bai~?!" Elder Yang greeted Tang Li Xue with a very excited tone.
"Humph~!" Tang Li Xue turned her stunningly beautiful face away from Elder Yang in annoyance.
But she immediately realized that this was not the right time for her to sulk because some Nascent Soul Stage elders might come here at any moment to check for the reason why the protection formation around Elder Yang's courtyard suddenly collapsed.
Tang Li Xue hastily explained to Elder Yang about it: "I just broke the protection formation in your courtyard and triggered the alarm. I am sure there will be some people who will come here to check about it soon."
Elder Yang's excited expression turned into a solemn expression as he muttered to Tang Li Xue in a reassuring tone: "Don't worry, Xiao Bai. Leave it to me!"
Tang Li Xue nodded at Elder Yang as she activated her [Ethereal Form] again while whispering the problem she faced to Elder Yang: "I have already used [Concealment Barrier Talisman] to hide myself, so no one can probably sense me. But those scattered annoying formations are a completely different matter."
Elder Yang sighed in relief after he heard Tang Li Xue's explanation since the problem was actually not as big as he thought.
If those Nascent Soul Stage elders could detect Tang Li Xue with their divine sense, then he might have to do something extreme if he wanted to bring Tang Li Xue out of this place safely like using Rongrong or Gu Shengxin as a hostage.
But if no one could detect Tang Li Xue, and he only needed to bring her out of here while avoiding all formations, then it would not be a really hard thing to do.
"Xiao Bai, follow me closely from behind. I will try to lead you out right now." Elder Yang murmured to Tang Li Xue as he quickly stepped out of his room.
When he walked out from his courtyard, several Nascent Soul Stage elders had already come to check!
Elder Yang greeted those Nascent Soul Stage elders with a solemn expression: "I am sorry to everyone since I have broken this formation without permission. But the commotion outside makes me really curious. I wonder if you can explain to me what just happened?"
"This..." Several Nascent Soul Stage elders glanced at each other with hesitant expressions.
They clearly did not want to tell that the fox demon that Elder Yang was infatuated with had just come to meet Zhu Yan and even steal from the Gu Family's treasure warehouse recently.
One of the Nascent Soul Stage elders from Immortal Sword Sect cleverly tried to reassure Elder Yang: "Elder Yang does not need to worry too much about it. Just a small thief trying to steal something from the Gu Family's treasure warehouse. We will definitely catch that thief soon."
Elder Yang changed his solemn expression to angry and scolded: "How dare that thief sneak into the Gu Family's mansion to steal something~! Don't worry everyone! I will also patrol around with you all to catch that thief!"
The expressions of several Nascent Soul Stage elders instantly turned weird when they heard Elder Yang's resolute words.
They all secretly thought: 'Help us to catch the thief?! It would be already good if you do not help the culprit to escape instead!'
Elder Yang's expression turned gloomy as he saw unconvinced expressions on those several Nascent Soul Stage elders, so he said in a cold chilling tone: "What? Did you all really think that I would not be able to catch a mere small thief?"
Several Nascent Soul Stage elders immediately tried to deny it: "No, no, no... Of course not... Err, it is just that we think Elder Yang should take a rest instead since we should have been more than enough to catch that little thief."
After arguing back and forth for ten minutes or so, those several Nascent Soul Stage elders could only helplessly let Elder Yang patrol around with them under Elder Yang's insistence.
Just when Elder Yang felt glad after successfully forcing several Nascent Soul Stage elders to accept his request, but Elder Yang did not realize that one of the Nascent Soul Stage elders from Immortal Sword Sect actually secretly contacted Rongrong.
That Nascent Soul Stage elder also explained what Tang Li Xue had done to Rongrong like how Tang Li Xue came to meet Zhu Yan in the middle of the night and steal something from the Gu Family's treasure warehouse.
Rongrong, who had just woke up from her sleep, was still sitting leisurely on her bed while thinking deeply for a while.
Then she replied to the Nascent Soul Stage elder with her communication talisman: "It is all right to bring Yangyang with you. I will also go out to meet Yangyang right now."
After Rongrong hung up her communication talisman, she immediately changed her clothes, dressed up, and got out of her room to meet with Yangyang.
But there were actually many things that she currently thought in her mind...
"Why did that vixen come to meet with Miss Zhu in the middle of the night?"
"And the theft was happening right after Miss Zhu called for help from Young Master Gu Shengxin... This Miss Zhu is really too suspicious."
"Don't tell me that Miss Zhu is actually that vixen's companion, and she is also a vixen in disguise?!"
"It should not be impossible, right?"
Rongrong murmured her suspicions on her way.
Rongrong also recalled that Tang Li Xue actually pushed Zhu Yan away when she used the [Mirror of Revelation] on Tang Li Xue before, and her suspicion of Zhu Yan instantly grew stronger.
"It seems I have to let the elders check this Miss Zhu Yan with [Mirror of Revelation] too..." Rongrong muttered in a resolute tone.
.....
Tang Li Xue still did not realize that Zhu Yan was being suspected by Rongrong because she came to meet her tonight.
At this time, she still secretly followed Elder Yang closely from behind as Elder Yang patrolled around the Gu Family's mansion with several Nascent Soul Stage elders.
But on the way, their group actually bumped into Rongrong.
Rongrong cheerfully ran toward Elder Yang and intimately hugged his arm while saying: "Yangyang~! Why are you patrolling in the middle of the night with them?"
Elder Yang instantly felt a great headache when Rongrong intimately hugged his arm right in front of Tang Li Xue.
Even though he could not sense Tang Li Xue's presence right now, but he could already feel Tang Li Xue's displeasure and resentment before when he greeted her in his room.
If he still acted so intimately like this with Rongring right in front of Tang Li Xue, he knew that Tang Li Xue would surely feel more and more uncomfortable, disappointed, and angry at him.
Elder Yang tried to push away Rongrong, but Rongrong stuck so closely to him like a gum stuck on his shoes.
Elder Yang wanted to use more force to push away Rongrong from him, but he immediately realized that his current main objective right now was to bring Tang Li Xue out of this place as soon as possible before the effect of her [Concealment Barrier Talisman] ran out.
He might only make the situation get a lot worse If he accidentally hurt Rongrong just because he used too much strength to push her away, so he decided to endure it for now.
Well... Just like Elder Yang had predicted. Tang Li Xue actually glared at him menacingly from behind with a pair of eyes filled with jealousy right now.
Tang Li Xue gnashed her pearl-white teeth in anger and resentment.
She really wanted to kick Elder Yang's balls from behind so badly.
But she could only resist the urge since there were so many Nascent Soul Stage elders here.
Elder Yang immediately replied to Rongrong in order not to make her suspicious: "I heard from these elders that there is a thief sneaking in tonight. Coincidentally, I have been very bored after spending all my time in the room for the past few days so I decided to patrol around with them to find the thief."
Rongrong became a bit guilty after she heard Elder Yang's words since it was she who grounded Elder Yang in his room for the past few days.
But she did it because she did not want Elder Yang to look for that vixen.
Rongrong tried to apologize to ease her tense relationship with Elder Yang lately: "I am really sorry, Yangyang. But I dare to swear that I do it for your own good."
Elder Yang hastily shook his head before Rongrong said anything to hurt Tang Li Xue: "It is okay. I understand it well that you did it all for me. But Rongrong, I hope you understand that I also have my own feelings."
