Gently like the wind.

If someone were to look up at this moment, they would surely notice the blue and white figure flying through the sky.

At this time, the blue and white robe could easily rival the white attire of Xiaolongnü, glowing like a firefly in the darkness. Fortunately, at this hour, many people were busy with their own affairs, eating, drinking, and wandering, and few would look up at the sky.

But few does not mean none.

Yue Yuan, who had just flown through the air, was also seen by some people.

Bang!

A light sound, and Yue Yuan landed on the roof tiles, then glanced in the direction where the few people had disappeared, and quickly followed.

Soon.

Yue Yuan saw the people he had been chasing. With a flash, Yue Yuan stopped on one side of the roof.

About ten feet away, a young girl and a young man stood on the roof. For some reason, they had stopped and were whispering to each other.

Turning his head, Yue Yuan looked at the girl stomping her feet on someone else's roof in the moonlight.

She was dressed in a bright red silk robe, with a string of pearls around her neck. Her skin was incredibly fair and tender, like cream, almost dripping with moisture. Her face was as white as jade, her beauty like the morning bloom, her eyes sparkling, and her eyebrows long and delicate. From a distance, she looked like a fiery rose.

She was truly a beautiful girl.

However, her occasionally flashing eyes and her high chin made her seem somewhat arrogant, which was not very pleasant to look at.

Yue Yuan had seen many beautiful women in this world, but the girl before him was still more beautiful than Wanyan Ping and Cheng Ying, whom he had met at the inn a while ago. Even the lame girl Lu Wushuang was not as beautiful as her.

One could say that, in terms of appearance, the girl before him was second only to Xiaolongnü and her sister Li Mochou.

This girl...

Could she be the troublesome Guo Fu?

Then the middle-aged couple who came up earlier must be...

Yue Yuan narrowed his eyes, his brows furrowed, and began to analyze the identity of the girl before him. Although he was not completely sure, he had already basically guessed who she was. Just as Yue Yuan stood in the corner, leaning against the chimney and thinking quietly, he heard Guo Fu speak.

"Oh!"

"Da Wu, what are you doing?"

Guo Fu stared at Wu Dunru in front of her, her tone full of reproach, "We actually lost track of Father and Mother! In this situation, where are we going to find those black-clothed people?"

"Uh..."

"Shi Mei..."

Faced with Guo Fu's questioning, Wu Dunru could only lower his head and mumble, unable to refute her. He said softly, "Our skills are not good enough, so it's natural that we can't catch up with them!"

Indeed.

In this street, the skills of the Wu brothers and Guo Fu were not very good. Guo Fu was spoiled by everyone, and whenever Guo Jing wanted to discipline her, she was immediately stopped by other family members. This is how spoiled children are created.

As for the Wu brothers, they were always meek and obedient, following Guo Fu like a shadow, doing whatever she said. Moreover, although Guo Jing was a great master, he was not a good teacher, and the Wu brothers had been taught to the point of being useless.

As for Huang Rong, she thought the Wu brothers' obedience to Guo Fu was a sign of love, so...

Furthermore, the Wu brothers' secret infatuation with Guo Fu made them completely unable to stand up to her. After all, their master was her father, and they were living in her house. All these factors made the Wu brothers completely unable to stand up to her.

The change in environment had shaped their personalities, and they lacked the toughness of a rascal like Yang Guo. Yang Guo had lived among beggars for a while, and to eat well and not be bullied, he had to be cunning and tough.

But now, Xiao Wu was not there, and only Da Wu was with Guo Fu, and he appeared very timid in the face of her questioning.

"Hmph!"

Guo Fu's tone faltered, knowing that Da Wu was right. She and the Wu brothers were not skilled enough, but thinking about what had happened earlier, she could not help but feel angry. She muttered, "But those people actually dared to steal from my house, and even took my sword! This is too infuriating!"

Guo Fu could not help but be angry. Guo Jing and Huang Rong were highly respected in the martial world, and their family was guarding Xiangyang for the court. Anyone in the martial world would admire Guo Jing's actions, and they would generally give the Guo family face. Not to mention that Guo Fu's grandfather was one of the Five Greats, the Eastern Heretic.

But the face was not always effective.

For example, the future Jinlun Fawang, and today, a group of black-clothed people had infiltrated the Guo family.

Thinking about what had happened in the evening, Guo Fu's anger boiled, her fair face flushed, and her small feet stomped on the roof, making Yue Yuan, who was hiding nearby, frown.

He thought to himself, this is someone else's roof, and it's already enough that you're running on it, but you're also stomping around...

Aren't you afraid of falling?

"..."

Standing next to the chimney, Yue Yuan silently criticized. Indeed, Da Wu's appearance was as expected, and Xiao Wu was probably no different. From just a few words, Yue Yuan had already seen Guo Fu's temperament.

But what shocked Yue Yuan was the information revealed in Guo Fu's muttering. Did those black-clothed people really steal something from the Guo family? Otherwise, they wouldn't have caused so many people to chase them.

But the Guo family at this time should not have anything worth stealing!

As a thief, Yue Yuan constantly recalled the valuable items that Guo Jing and Huang Rong possessed. But he could not think of anything. As for the Nine Yin Manual and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, he did not think they would keep such secret manuals at home.

Moreover, the famous weapons, the Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber, had not yet been created.

After much thought, Yue Yuan still could not recall anything valuable in the Guo family at this time. Stealing a sword from a spoiled girl was truly despicable, and Yue Yuan felt disdain for the black-clothed people's motives.

He thought, what use is Guo Fu's sword? It's just a fine steel sword. If they had taken Guo Fu herself, that would have been more worthwhile!

Just as Yue Yuan was analyzing why the black-clothed people had infiltrated the Guo family, he heard Guo Fu shout, "Who's there? Come out!"

At the same time.

Da Wu, standing next to Guo Fu, immediately assumed a defensive stance, scanning the surroundings with great caution.

Hmm?

Someone?

Yue Yuan looked up and scanned the area but found no one. With his current skills, he did not hear anyone approaching.

"It's the one hiding next to the chimney, I saw you!"

Just as Yue Yuan was looking around, he heard Guo Fu glare and shout, and he was taken aback.

"Huh?"

"It's me!"

Guo Fu's words made Yue Yuan realize she was talking about him. He was quite surprised because his skills were such that she should not have been able to detect him, and he had chosen a good angle to hide behind the chimney. How did she see me?

Then, Yue Yuan's gaze fell on the chimney next to him, and he looked at its height, which was about the same as his own.

But...

Seemingly realizing something, Yue Yuan's face turned strange as he touched the tall Daoist cap on his head, which was taller than the chimney and stood out prominently.

Shaking his head in a mix of amusement and frustration, Yue Yuan slowly walked out from behind the chimney under the wary gazes of Guo Fu and Da Wu.
