Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 298

Chapter 298: Secret Visitors
Listening to Duan Yixin’s words, Xuan Ruiquan frowned slightly. He asked, “Xin’er, how do you know?”

Duan Yixin hesitated for a moment and explained, “Actually, my five senses are more sensitive than ordinary people, especially the sense of smell and taste. Just now, I smelled a strong smell of blood approaching this mansion. I think you should know this since they could be assassins.”

When Xuan Ruiquan learned about this, he thought, ‘No wonder someone came to her house to kill me in the previous life, and she knew it. It turns out that even when we were strangers, Xin’er always went out of her way to protect me.’

Recalling their past, Xuan Ruiquan’s eyes became gentler. He stretched out his hand to wipe away the oil stains on the corners of her lips with his thumb and said, “I will go check it out. You stay and don’t leave this place.”

Duan Yixin nodded, and then Xuan Ruiquan looked at the maidservants and said, “Protect her well.”

The maidservants bowed slightly and said, “Yes, Wangye.”

After giving the order, Xuan Ruiquan smiled at Duan Yixin and then left the dining room. Seeing that he had left, Duan Yixin looked at the six maidservants curiously. Judging from what Xuan Ruiquan just said, these maidservants are not ordinary servants.

When she smelled the faint smell of blood on their bodies yesterday, Duan Yixin didn’t think much about it because everyone in this mansion had the smell of blood to varying degrees on their bodies.

At first, she thought it was because they worked with Xuan Ruiquan, so the smell of blood from Xuan Ruiquan’s body might stain their clothes. But now, Duan Yixin thinks her guess might be completely wrong.

Seeing her staring at them, one of the maidservants smiled and asked. “Miss Duan, do you need anything?”

Duan Yixin thought for a while and asked, “Are all of you also secret guards?”

When the maidservant heard her question, her expression did not change. She chuckled and said, “Miss Duan is joking. We are just ordinary people.”

Since the maidservant didn’t want to tell her, Duan Yixin didn’t ask anymore and continued eating breakfast. While she was enjoying her porridge, Xuan Ruiquan looked around for the assassins but found Jian Shi and his subordinate instead.

He looked at them and asked, “When did you come?”

Jian Shi and others knelt in front of him and said, “Master, we just arrived a few minutes ago.”

Xuan Ruiquan calculated the time, which happened to match the time Duan Yixin told him about the intruder. He asked again, “Did any intruders come in when you arrived?”

Jian Shi shook his head and said, “When we arrived, we searched the mansion, but we didn’t find any intruders.”

Xuan Ruiquan nodded and said, “Go back and do your work.”

Jian Shi and others clasped their fists and said, “Yes, Master.”

A second later, they were gone. Xuan Ruiquan then returned to the dining room and told Duan Yixin about Jian Shi and other secret guards.

Since the Tenth Division specialized in assassinations and infiltrations, they killed more people than the other divisions. Because of this, their auras were colder, and the smell of blood on their bodies was heavier. The smell of blood that Duan Yixin smelled before should be from them.

A few hours ago, the Chi siblings left Yan Junwang’s Mansion early in the morning. Duan Yixin was still sleeping when they left, so they didn’t tell her they were going out. After leaving Yan Junwang’s Mansion, they secretly went to visit someone.

Standing in front of the back door of a huge mansion, Chi Xiyou knocked on the door. Chi Xiyou and Chi Xinru waited for a moment, and someone opened the door from inside.

The servant looked at the two of them and asked politely, “What can I do for you?”

Chi Xiyou took out a small wooden token and said, “I want to meet your Master.”

After seeing the wooden token, the servant’s smile disappeared, and his expression became serious. He looked around and found that no one was around, so he stepped aside.

“Please come in.”

Chi Xiyou nodded to Chi Xinru, and the two of them walked into the mansion. After they passed the door, the servant quickly closed it.

Then he looked at the two siblings and said, “Young Master, Young Lady, please come with me.”

The servant led them to the main hall where his Master used to receive guests and said, “Please wait here. I will notify my Master of your arrival.”

Chi Xiyou nodded and said, “Sorry to trouble you.”

The servant bowed slightly to them and left in a hurry. After the servant left, Chi Xiyou and Chi Xinru took off the hoods of their cloaks.

The two of them sat down, and Chi Xinru asked, “Elder Brother, who are we going to meet?”

Chi Xiyou looked at his younger sister and said, “We will meet our father’s friend.”

Hearing this, Chi Xinru nodded and didn’t ask any more questions. While the two were waiting in the main hall, the servant rushed to the backyard.

The maidservant in the back courtyard saw him coming and asked, “Why are you here? Master is still having breakfast with Madam.”

The servant looked at the maidservant and said, “Please tell Master that someone is looking for him. That person is bringing this.”

The maidservant took the wooden token and said, “All right. You wait here.”

The servant nodded and waited outside the Madam’s courtyard. Soon, the maidservant came to the dining room and saluted a middle-aged man and his wife. The Madam looked at her and asked, “What’s wrong?”

The maidservant showed them the wooden token and said, “Madam, a servant said someone came to visit Master, and the guest also brought this.”

Before the Madam could examine the wooden token more closely, her husband stood up. He quickly took the token from the maidservant’s hand and asked, “Is the guest still waiting?”
