Chapter 212: Mice that escaped the net
Tianlong Hu Die was a bit startled seeing that there was someone behind her, but seeing who it was she immediately put her guard down.
Turning her sight once again towards the lake and small vibrations on the surface she said with a melancholic voice,
Tianlong Hu Die:" Do you think they ever loved me? The ones who brought me in this life, and this world?"
Tianlong Yun looked at the surface of the lake and said calmly,
Tianlong Yun:" Does it matter now? In my opinion, the fact if they love you or not doesn't need to define our existence.
We are who we are, living our own lives.
It's true their love and caring makes our lives easier and more fulfilled, but even if they don't, we can fulfill that emptiness with people we chose.
So, does it matter?"
Tianlong Hu Die was really smart she could easily understand Tianlong Yun's words, and thinking on those words for a while he was right.
It didn't really matter anymore, she had created her own life, alongside a new and big family.
And on top of it, she had her dreams for the future. She had people who warmed her heart, people who would always be there for her, for eternity.
Thinking like this, the gloominess in her face disappeared and a new brilliant smile took it's place, just like the sun comes after the rain clouds.
Jumping towards Tianlong Yun she said with a happy tone,
Tianlong Hu Die:" Thank you, Master!"
Tianlong Yun was happy seeing her expression change for the better, she already was part of his foundation and family, and she would be even more important in the future.
That was why he said with an honest expression,
Tianlong Yun:" You don't have to thank me, we are already a family, a clan."
Then he gave her a big bear hug, she was truly a cute and loving girl. And her place in his heart was becoming bigger by the day.
But while he was hugging her, his eyes were stuck somewhere else. In one of the dark corners of the place were two shadows talking to each other.
That was weird enough in such a big mansion, but what truly caught his attention was a weird sign they did when they met.
It was some kind of greeting sign as they belonged to some cult or something. Outside it wouldn't matter, but they were inside 'The Mansion'.
They had already done a proper clean up of the place one day ago. But apparently, there were still mice who had escaped the net.
Noticing that her Master's hug was longer than she expected, not that she complained about it, Tianlong Hu Die asked worriedly,
Tianlong Hu Die:" Is there something wrong Master?"
Tianlong Yun was looking interestingly towards the mice, and said unfazed,
Tianlong Yun:" Apparently our net wasn't good enough. Die'er you should be extra careful tonight, we can't allow ourselves to make a blunder tonight."
Understanding the situation, Tianlong Hu Die said seriously, even though she was in that position,
Tianlong Hu Die:" Don't worry Master, I will make sure personally that nothing bad happens tonight."
Releasing his bear hug, Tianlong Yun looked her in the eyes and said appraisingly,
Tianlong Yun:" I know you will. You are the smartest after all."
Hearing that compliment, made Tianlong Hu Die's young heart explode from happiness. It was a compliment from her sweetheart after all.
With a happy shining face, she entered the VIP residence alongside Tianlong Yun.
Meanwhile, in the dark corner, the two shadows were talking to each other, and time upon time look in the position that Tianlong Yun had been with Tianlong Hu Die earlier.
From their voice, one could say that it was a man and a woman. They could only be identified from their voices because they were both covered with a mantle.
Looking towards Tianlong Yun's earlier position the mysterious woman said,
Mysterious lady:" It's the first time I have seen that man. Furthermore, they came from the VIP residence, where we doubt the secret entrance to be.
We should inform Master about his appearance and also the security for today.
We can't allow them to find and harm our brothers."
The Mysterious man seemed like a brute, but his voice was really gentle and respected towards the lady,
Mysterious man:" Yes, I will try to send the news as soon as possible my lady."
But just as he finished his words, they heard a voice coming from behind them,
Voice:" Oh, I don't think that you will be able to, Mister."
Turning their heads at the same time, in the direction of the voice, they saw what seemed like a young man, with a tiger's mask. It was just like those of the slaughter tiger of the legends.
All the fear that the mysterious man had when he heard the voice, seemed to disappear as soon as he saw the intruder. Then he said full of arrogance,
Mysterious man:" And who is going to stop us? Just you?"
Even though he was trying to show arrogance, he was seriously paying this guy attention. After all, he hadn't been aware of his presence until he himself made them aware.
Just while he was paying extra attention to the young man in front of him now, they heard another laughter and voice coming from behind them,
Voice 2:" Hahahaha He doesn't seem to place you in his eyes Tiger brother. Perhaps he thinks you are just a little kid."
Turning once again they saw a boy in a dragon's mask, just like the other one, even this mask seemed like that of the dragons of legend.
What was happening here?
When they heard the third voice, who seemed a monotone,
Voice 3:" No matter how much you say like that, but he seems to be thinking the same for you Dragon Brother."
This third one had a turtle's combined with a snake mask.
The duo in the middle, especially the mysterious man were completely shocked, they hadn't felt the presence of any of the trio around them.
But the surprises weren't over yet, because, at this time, an irritated girly voice was heard,
Voice 4:" You irritating knuckleheads, you promised to not use those nicknames anymore. It's embarrassing for me to be part of our group."
The girl had a beautiful phoenix mask on her face, and she was well developed too.
Hearing her words the trio seemed like cats whose tail had been stepped on, and said at the same time,
Trio:" Common big sister, it so cool having those nicknames. Furthermore, I am sure that Master would like your nickname, Phoenix sister."
These words were like a hot knife through butter for the young maiden's heart, and she was seriously considering that nickname.
At this time the duo in the middle saw a slight opportunity to escape and immediately started running in different directions at the same time.
They were truly fast, if the four guardians had no knowledge of cultivation they would think that they were aliens or people with a superpower.
But even if they had superpowers or cultivations, their speed wasn't really high. If they had to make a comparison would be the speed of someone at the 2nd layer of the Qi Refining Realm.
Which wasn't a problem for them, who were on the verge of a breakthrough to the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Realm.
Even though they were joking and playing with each other, they had never really relaxed all the time. After all, these targets were given by their patriarch himself.
As soon as the duo started to run in different directions, the tiger and turtle cooperated together and blocked the mysterious man, while the dragon and the phoenix blocked the mysterious woman.
Their teamwork was impeccable, and soon neither of the targets could escape in that situation.
Seeing that they had taken control of the situation once again, the tiger masked young man said,
Tiger boy:" Oh common uncle, we were discussing something important, how could you disrupt our talk."
The mysterious man seemed a bit angered by the uncle's remark but regained his calmness when he heard the mysterious woman's words.
Mysterious woman:" Calm down, he is just playing with your nerves. There is no other choice we must use our last resort."
Just as the man was about to agree with her on using their last resort, a small needle entered in the middle of his eyebrows, and he was paralyzed.
The mysterious woman was a bit surprised not getting the confirmation from the man beside her, but just as she was about to turn around, she suffered the same fate as her accomplice.
Just as they got knocked out like that, they got carried by the four guardians towards the underground facility, directly to the interrogation room, where Tianlong Yun and Jiang Bo were waiting for them.
Immediately as they took them in, the four guardians took their mantles off, to find the faces behind the cover.
One of them was a middle-aged man in his late thirties. He had the suit of a security guard, and also the build of one.
But his most impression giving detail was a deep scar under his eye. He looked like some rough, retired mercenary.
The other one was a beautiful lady in her late twenties or early thirties. She couldn't be said to be a great beauty, but at least she was a beauty.
With brown hair, dark brown eyes, cherry red lips, and a beautiful face she could be said to be a more than average beauty.
While looking at their faces, Jiang Bo's face turned dark, and said,
Jiang Bo:" Master, this is one of our security guards at the entrance, he is one of the most trusted people of Feng Tao.
As for the woman, she is one of the staff introduced here by Feng Tao's wife.
During her introduction she said she was a single mother, and also the story behind her seemed real, we found no issues at the time."
Hearing Jiang Bo until the end, Tianlong Yun started thinking that maybe
