51: Chapter 51 The Escort Agency's Predicament

Yun Song looked helpless, walked quickly to Ye Hua and his sister, and sighed heavily.

He hurriedly asked: "Does your Escort Agency have any other entrances or exits?"

Ye Hua's expression was as grave as frost; he lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

Scenes of the Escort Agency flashed through his mind, then he slowly shook his head.

At this moment, Ye Rong bit her lip slightly, looking hesitant, and said: "There is one, but..."

The words were on the tip of her tongue, and she unconsciously looked at Ye Hua, as if seeking approval.

Ye Hua looked at his sister in confusion: "Rong'er, I've grown up so big, how come I don't know the Escort Agency has another door?"

Ye Rong whispered: "It's not a door, it's a hole at the foot of the backyard wall."

"When I was little, Mom and Dad wouldn't let me go out to play, so I often sneaked out through that hole." After finishing, she looked at Ye Hua with a guilty conscience.

Ye Hua shook his head helplessly, but his eyes were full of doting.

Ye Rong continued: "That hole is overgrown with weeds, no one pays attention to it at all."

Surprise flashed in Yun Song's eyes, and he said eagerly: "No time to lose, take me there quickly!"

So, Ye Rong and the others hurriedly went around to the back of the Escort Agency.

The Escort Agency was not small; the three of them walked quickly through the falling snow, and after about half a cup of tea, they arrived at the destination.

Ye Rong pointed: "It's right here."

Yun Song looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, the entrance was overgrown with weeds, covered tightly by heavy snow. If it weren't for the guidance, it would be impossible to find the hole hidden underneath.

Yun Song's expression became stern; he looked at Ye Hua and Ye Rong, and said seriously: "You two wait here, no matter what happens inside, don't come in."

The siblings understood the situation; they were seriously injured and had difficulty moving. Following him rashly would only drag Yun Song down.

Ye Hua looked solemn, stared at Yun Song, and urged with concern: "Brother Yun, be careful."

"The situation in the courtyard is unclear. If you encounter difficulties and can't handle them, retreat immediately."

"Even if the crisis isn't resolved, I will still give you the Immortal Technique."

Ye Rong nodded vigorously and said with concern: "Yes, Young Master Yun, please be safe."

Yun Song nodded firmly: "Rest assured, I have a plan."

"You guys also look out for your safety outside; this is too open, find a hidden place to hide."

As he said this, he handed the bundle on his shoulder to Ye Hua: "Keep this for me."

After speaking, Yun Song looked at the hole, stepped on the weeds with his right foot, making a slight "creak" sound.

He pushed aside the snow and weeds at the entrance, cleared a space, squatted down, and tentatively probed with his foot. He found that although the hole was small, he could barely get in.

After confirming, he took a deep breath and quickly crawled into the hole.

Yun Song crawled out of the hole and arrived at the inner courtyard. Before him was a patch of snow-covered weeds.

He looked around cautiously, and seeing no one, he crawled out and walked quickly toward the depths of the inner courtyard.

When passing the stable, a faint human voice suddenly came.

Yun Song's heart tightened; he turned to the side, hid against the wall, and held his breath.

"This damn weather, it's freezing me to death!" a raspy voice complained.

Another voice replied: "Who's telling me otherwise? The heavy snow won't stop, and we still have to patrol in this broken place. I really don't know when it will end!"

"Hmph, if that thing hadn't been obtained yet, the superiors wouldn't let us suffer." The owner of the raspy voice spat.

"Yeah, I hope we can finish early and leave. Tell me, how much longer can that old immortal hold on?"

Yun Song's heart sank, thinking: "It seems they want to obtain some kind of item. Could it be the Immortal Technique Ye Hua mentioned?"

After the footsteps of the two minions faded, Yun Song hunched over and walked out of the stable like a ghost, moving forward stealthily.

Soon, Yun Song saw a building that looked like the main hall. In broad daylight, the outline was clear, and a group of people were walking back and forth around it.

The place where he was was open and uncovered; it was difficult to sneak past without making a sound.

After observing for a while without success, he had to return the way he came.

Yun Song crawled out of the hole, but Ye Hua and his sister were nowhere to be seen.

He lifted his eyes to search and saw the two hiding at the foot of a building wall. Ye Hua was looking around vigilantly, and Ye Rong looked uneasy.

Yun Song walked over quickly and whispered: "This place is not suitable for a long stay. Let's find a place to stay first."

"Those people have a scheme; they seem to want to get some item."

"Your father is temporarily safe. I will sneak in again tonight to find out the truth."

Ye Hua's expression was grave: "What they want must be the Immortal Technique."

"My father obtained an Immortal Technique in a mountain cave and was bitten by a Fire Flame Rat. Everyone in the Escort Agency knows this, so I guess he was targeted by bad guys."

Ye Rong's eyes turned red, and she said with a sobbing tone: "It's all this Immortal Technique's fault, it caused the Escort Agency to become like this, and we don't know how Father is..."
