Reborn as an abandoned daughter, she became a stunning genius

The man in black entered the tunnel. After the figure disappeared, Jiang Ning fell back to the ground.

Glancing at the fainted guard outside, she was not prepared to follow him.

In addition to the guards on duty at the City Lord's Mansion, two guards will be arranged to patrol at night.

The ancestral hall, as a place specially designated by the city lord to be protected, must be the top priority for the guards to inspect.

Counting the time, it won't be long before the patrolling guards arrive at the ancestral hall.

When they discover that the guards at the ancestral hall are abnormal, there will be a commotion.

This situation is completely unfavorable for action.

After thinking about this, Jiang Ning bypassed the unconscious guard at the door and hid in the tree outside the ancestral hall.

Then he used his mind power to observe every move of the masked man in black under the tunnel.

The strength of the man in black is only at the level of the spiritual cave, but he moves quickly and seems to know the layout of the tunnel well.

Jiang Ning watched him twist and turn in the complicated tunnel, and finally found a locked door.

The man in black smashed the copper lock with one punch and pushed the door open.

This punch... seems a bit familiar.

There was a box in the middle of the room behind the door. The man in black opened the box, only to find that the beast-taming bell he was looking for was not in it.

"Sure enough, there is a problem." Jiang Ning's eyes narrowed.

At the same time, in the room at the end of the tunnel, a blue barrier unfolded, shutting the man in black inside together with the empty box.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling blue light flew into the sky, illuminating the night sky.

This is Chen Ke's signal.

Chen Ke, who was dealing with urgent matters far away at the city gate, saw this signal and immediately put down everything in his hands and rushed back.

"There's something going on over there at the ancestral hall!" Guard Xing's voice sounded.

Also patrolling with him was Guard Song.

Jiang Ning hid in the tree and watched as the two guards rushed into the ancestral hall after discovering the guard who had fainted at the door.

Not surprisingly, they also discovered the entrance on the ground of the ancestral hall.

"How should we deal with this?" Song Guard looked at Xing Guard and asked.

"It's less than a quarter of an hour before the guard changes, which means it's been less than a quarter of an hour since this entrance appeared here. The people inside may not have left yet. You stay here and I'll ask others to search the City Lord's Mansion." Guard Xing quickly woke up the unconscious guards and asked them to notify other guards, while he himself searched the city lord's mansion first.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning used the teleportation of the Void Illusion Ring to guard one step first and return to the courtyard where he lived.

Pretending to be awakened by the noise, Jiang Ning walked out of the yard as if nothing had happened.

"What happened?"

"Guard Luo, something bad has happened. A thief broke into the city lord's mansion. Guard Xing ordered me to inform everyone and arrest the thief."

"Okay, I understand." Jiang Ning nodded in agreement, then stretched and walked out of the yard.

Soon, the other guards were woken up one by one, and the other ten guards, except Guard Song, began to search throughout the city lord's mansion.

Jiang Ning seemed to be searching for the thief like everyone else, but in fact he had been observing the movements of the man in black locked in the underground barrier with his mind.

Suddenly, the man in black who was trapped in the barrier moved. He steadied his horse, gathered his spiritual power in his hands, and punched one after another towards the weakest point of the barrier.

The spiritual power on the first level of the spiritual cave seemed so insignificant in front of Chen Ke's Lingxuan Realm barrier, but under the persistent attack of the man in black, punch after punch, cracks actually appeared in the barrier.

At the same time, Chen Ke, who rushed back to the city lord's palace, also noticed that his barrier was broken and couldn't help but speed up his flight.

With a "Boom!", the garden of the city lord's mansion suddenly made a loud noise. The guards who came after hearing the sound only saw the good garden stepping into the ground.

At the same time, Chen Ke also rushed back to the city lord's mansion.

The first time he entered the city lord's palace, Chen Ke immediately opened a huge barrier.

The man in black who wanted to escape over the wall was directly trapped in the city lord's palace.

"Lord City Lord, you are back." Guard Xing greeted Chen Ke immediately when he saw him.

"Everyone has worked so hard so late. Now I have opened the barrier and trapped the thief in the house. I also ask you to help me find the thief. There will be a heavy reward." Chen Ke said immediately.

"Yes." The guards responded and immediately started searching around the city lord's mansion.

Jiang Ning's telepathy has been tracking the man in black, so he naturally knows where he is hiding now.

After making an excuse and separating from the large army, Jiang Ning returned to the yard where he lived alone.

After closing the door, someone suddenly shot at Jiang Ning from behind.

Jiang Ning had quick eyesight and quick hands. He bent down to avoid the opponent's punch and struck back.

The two quickly started fighting in the dark room.

The opponent's strength is only at the level of the Spirit Cave. For Jiang Ning, he can be solved with just a little effort.

But she was not in a hurry to defeat the opponent, but kept testing the opponent's boxing skills.

Finally, the man in black was defeated and Jiang Ning grabbed his hands, unable to move.

Seeing that he could no longer resist, the man in black lowered his head, mentally prepared to be handed over to Chen Ke.

"Guard Luo, what happened? I heard something coming from your room." The guard's voice came from outside the door.

"It's nothing, I just accidentally knocked over the flowerpot." Jiang Ning replied.

Seeing that this 'Luo Guard' did not reveal himself, the man in black regained hope in his already desperate heart.

"Guard Luo, do you need someone to take care of you?" the guard outside the door asked again.

"No, I can do it myself." Jiang Ning rejected the guard's words.

After the guard outside the door had gone away, Jiang Ning took out one hand and pulled off the mask of the man in black.

Seeing the appearance of the man in black, Jiang Ning was slightly startled even though he had been prepared for it.

After nine years, the eyes of the once optimistic and honest boy no longer have the innocence of the past, but are full of guardedness and caution.

Nine years have passed, and the face of the man in front of him is not much different from the boy in Jiang Ning's memory, except that he is too thin. It can be seen that he did not have a good life during the year when he was chased by Chen Ke.

"Why don't you hand me over?" Yue Yang asked, staring at Jiang Ning's eyes under the mask.

"Why should I hand you over?" Jiang Ning quickly calmed down and said calmly.

"Aren't you Chen Ke's guard?" Yue Yang asked.

Jiang Ning shook his head, "I'm just a guard of the City Lord's Mansion."

"It seems you don't know who I am. If you knew my identity, you would never say that." Yue Yang said.

"You are the only son of Lord Yue City, Yue Yang." Jiang Ning revealed Yue Yang's identity.

Seeing that Jiang Ning recognized him, Yue Yang's face showed confusion, "You... why do you help me if you know me?"

"I'm not helping you." Jiang Ning said calmly, "I just want to find out the cause of the death of Lord Yue City. Of course, I will personally interrogate those who are related to this matter."

"I didn't kill my father!" Yue Yang argued for himself.

"What's the use of just talking? Do you have any evidence? Also, why did you steal the beast-controlling bell?"
