171: uninvited guest

Wang Yi felt deeply conflicted inside; after all, he still did not know the situation.

If there was a big shot around, it would truly be too difficult.

Lord Wang gasped, first forcing himself to calm down.

"Wang Yi, do you think there is any point in us being here?" Lord Wang suddenly asked.

"Huh? Lord Wang, what do you mean by that?" Wang Yi did not understand.

"Think about it. With a big shot in this warehouse, would you or I be a match for them? The answer is obvious: neither of us is. So, isn't there only one path if we stay here? That is to wait for death. Do you want to die? Surely you don't. And as for us, two people who don't want to die are waiting here for death—isn't that the behavior of a fool?" Lord Wang analyzed.

After hearing this, Wang Yi nodded slightly, feeling that it was indeed the case.

After a long while, Lord Wang smiled slightly and lifted his head.

"That's right, Lord Wang, what you said is correct. Let's go, shall we leave now?" Wang Yi chuckled.

Wang Yi did not want to die just like that; he still had plenty of time ahead of him.

After all, the status of being a dignified Mulan Manor Commander was enough to make Wang Yi quite arrogant.

Life is short, so one must enjoy it. Otherwise, what is the point of living?

Thinking of this, Wang Yi pulled Lord Wang, and without further ado, they left the warehouse directly.

The Mulan Manor disciples guarding the Gao Family Warehouse looked back at Wang Yi and Lord Wang, all of them confused, not knowing what they were up to.

"Look quickly, what are those two Lord Wangs doing? Why are they leaving in such a panic!"

"Who knows? Maybe there is some good news."

"That's true. If there were good news, they wouldn't think of us."

The Mulan Manor disciples all gasped.

Those commanders were officials of Mulan Manor; they wouldn't think of these people when there was good news. This was a normal occurrence.

However, what Wang Yi and Lord Wang did not expect was that on their way out of the Gao Family Warehouse, they would encounter an even more terrifying person.

"Lord Wang, it's a good thing you were clever, otherwise, both of us would have died in there." Wang Yi chuckled.

"That is natural. Otherwise, I wouldn't have worked at the Auction House for so long, right?" Lord Wang held his head high, looking quite smug.

In fact, all of this had been planned by Lord Wang.

Lord Wang was a man who cherished his life; he would not go to dangerous places.

There were so many treasures in that Gao Family Warehouse; if they had stayed, who knew what might have happened.

After all, men die for wealth just as birds die for food.

Lord Wang had truly seen too many such incidents of murder and robbery.

The Gao Family was a great example; for a bottle of Seven-Colored Powder, they had ruined the family business and even went so far as to become enemies with Mulan Manor.

If the Gao Family hadn't sent assassins to kill Lord Wang, this naturally wouldn't have happened. All of this was just their own fault.

But at this moment, at the end of the small path, a figure suddenly appeared.

Looking from afar, the figure vanished in an instant.

Wang Yi's gaze narrowed, and he looked toward the place where the figure had just appeared.

But Lord Wang had not noticed; a smile still hung on his face.

"What was that?" Wang Yi's heart trembled, and he immediately had a bad premonition.

"Huh?" Lord Wang first lifted his head and looked toward the nearby Long Street. "Wang Yi, why are you acting so jumpy? There is nothing there."

Lord Wang gasped, then smiled slightly. He did not take the matter to heart.

"Did you drink too much, kid? Why are you scaring yourself?" Lord Wang looked disdainful.

"Lord Wang, I didn't drink too much. Look quickly, over there!" Wang Yi exclaimed, and then he raised his hand, pointing into the distance where the figure had appeared.

However, at this moment, there was nothing in that place. There was no sign of the figure Wang Yi had just seen.

"Huh? Why is it gone? What is going on!" Wang Yi's face darkened; he was taken aback by this scene.

In fact, Wang Yi was certain he hadn't seen it wrong; he was a martial general and had a strong perception of danger. But it was gone just now; what on earth was going on! Could it be that there was something else here?

"Wang Yi, can you be a bit calmer? What is this about!" Lord Wang snorted coldly; one could hear a bit of resentment in his tone.

However, come to think of it, this was the Gao Family residence, so being cautious was correct. But Wang Yi was being a bit too cautious, which was a bit strange.

After a long while, Wang Yi gasped, his face dark. After Wang Yi calmed down, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Lord Wang is right. Fine, let's go." Wang Yi let out a breath and forced himself to calm down.

Just at this moment, Wang Yi looked calm, and after a long while, he finally let out a sigh of relief. But just when Wang Yi felt at ease, that figure appeared once again!

"Lord Wang, look! Look! That figure!" Wang Yi's pupils constricted sharply, and he exclaimed. Then, Wang Yi hurriedly raised his hand, pointing at the figure in the distance.

Wang Yi was almost roaring, his eyes glaring fiercely. At this moment, Lord Wang was also startled by Wang Yi; he retreated several steps and hid directly behind Wang Yi.

"What is it? Wang Yi, what exactly did you see!" Lord Wang's body was trembling.

"Lord Wang, it seems like there is a person over there." Wang Yi raised his hand, his fingers trembling.

Lord Wang swallowed hard, a cold glint erupting in his eyes; he felt quite helpless. If there was a way, Lord Wang would want to flee from here directly. However, if that figure was truly a master, Wang Yi and Lord Wang would not be able to run away at all.

"Wang Yi! Wang Yi! Where is that figure? Is he coming over now?" Lord Wang hid behind Wang Yi.

Seeing this, Wang Yi felt quite helpless. Shouldn't they be facing this together? How did it turn into this situation?

"Lord Wang, can you not hide behind me?" Wang Yi felt quite helpless; he really hadn't expected this official from the Auction House to be so afraid of death.

"Oh? Okay, I understand." Lord Wang gasped and stepped out, walking directly from behind Wang Yi.

However, at this moment, Lord Wang did not see the figure Wang Yi was talking about at all.

"Damn it, are you trying to scare me? There is no one here at all!" Lord Wang complained.

"No, Lord Wang, I really saw it just now. There was a person standing right there." Wang Yi turned back, but the figure had disappeared once again.
