Chapter 276 The Little Thief!
Mr. Mu nodded slightly. "The only source of this place is the underground river, and the exit is still within the Hua family compound. If the Hua family head were to seal off the entire Hua family compound now, he might be able to catch this little thief."
"I will immediately order the Hua residence sealed off!" The Hua family head gritted his teeth. "This little thief actually dared to steal from me! This is outrageous!"
"With such skill, his strength must be considerable. I've set up formations in the front and back courtyards, so this person should be trapped in the back! However, just to be on the safe side, I suggest that Patriarch Hua seal off the entire mansion."
Upon hearing this, a handsome face flashed into the mind of the Hua family head. Could it be him?
Thinking of this, the Hua family head's face darkened further, and he hurriedly left the dark room.
The entire Hua family mansion was sealed off.
The guests who attended the birthday banquet were very unhappy.
"Why is the mansion suddenly sealed off for no reason!"
"Yes, what happened?"
"Please calm down, everyone. The Hua family is celebrating a happy occasion today, so the guards were a bit lax, and the thief managed to slip away," the Hua family head said in a deep voice. "For your safety, we have no choice but to temporarily seal off the mansion."
"So that's how it is. Who's so bold as to dare to break into the Hua residence?"
"Yes, has this little thief eaten the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard? This is the Hua family!"
Who doesn't know that the Hua family has a hidden master of formations?
The Hua family compound is riddled with formations! One wrong move and you'll be trapped to death. Trying to steal from the Hua family is practically suicide!
That thief was really unwise.
"Tsk tsk tsk, to cause such a commotion, this little thief must be no ordinary person."
The group discussed amongst themselves, and Liu Yue—or rather, Xiao Luo—raised an eyebrow.
Such a commotion, it's most likely that little girl caused it.
It seems this little girl... has also met with an unexpected setback!
Really interesting.
When the maid saw that the wine glass was empty, she stepped forward and refilled it.
Just then, the whispers from the side reached Xiao Luo's ears.
"I just overheard the servants at the Hua residence discussing that the Fourth Young Master was seriously injured! Could it have been that little thief who did it?"
"It's not surprising that the fourth young master was injured."
Who doesn't know that Hanako-kun is a good-for-nothing?
Hearing this, Xiao Luo pretended not to hear, downed the wine in her glass in one gulp, and thought to herself, "It seems that this time, the little girl's luck is not very good."

Meanwhile, Jun Liuyue followed the underground river back to the backyard of the Hua Mansion, where many more guards were patrolling. Liuyue nimbly avoided the patrolling guards.
But then, the scene before them changed.
Liu Yue frowned. An illusion array? This array formation looks so familiar!
Surrounded by jagged rocks, Liu Yue walked for several minutes before realizing she had returned to where she started.
She closed her eyes, letting the scenes she had just witnessed flash through her mind. Then, she circulated her inner energy and rushed forward.
Boom! The sound of the formation being broken rang in my ears.
There was no time to delve into the familiarity of the formation. Liu Yue leaped forward and, following her memory, headed towards the exit.
All the movements were fluid and seamless.
All in one go.
High platform and pavilion.
From his vantage point, Mr. Mu surveyed the entire backyard of the Hua Mansion, not missing a single black figure. He then spread his divine sense and locked onto that figure.
The next second, Mr. Mu's body shuddered violently, blood flowed from his ears, and even his eyes were bloodshot.
He raised his hand to wipe the blood flowing from his nostrils and activated his Xuanling power.
The four-directional formation converged towards Liuyue, and behind Liuyue, a five-clawed dragon appeared, its sharp claws viciously clawing at Liuyue's back.
At the same time, with a loud bang, the dragon was cut in two by the Heaven-Asking Sword, and the black figure had already broken through the formation and escaped.
"How can it be!"
Mr. Mu's face was contorted in disbelief as he stared at the scene. Only three people in the world could break this formation, one of whom had been dead for five years! And the other one had vanished without a trace, his whereabouts unknown.
Mr. Mu stared intently in the direction where the dark figure disappeared, his eyes seeming to spit venom, and slammed his hand on the table.
The stone table was broken into pieces.
At the banquet, although the Hua family mansion was sealed off, everyone's mood was not affected at all. After all, a petty thief was not worth their panic! Moreover, the Hua family was heavily guarded, and they believed that the arrogant thief would be caught soon.
The head of the Hua family, seated at the head of the table, fixed his gaze on the young man in the audience. When he met Jun Qing earlier, he seemed to sense a difference in their auras.
"I wonder if the young master is married?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man sitting next to them spoke up with a smile.
The Azure Dragon Realm is led by three major families, but each family also has many branches and collateral branches. The person speaking is the head of the Chen family, a collateral branch of the Hua family.
“Young Master Jun is so young and talented, how could he possibly be getting married?” another person said with a smile.
They all knew that Jun Qing had ascended from a lower continent. So what if he had been married in a lower continent?
"Marriage? No, not at all."
A smile flashed in Xiao Luo's eyes. It seems this girl... can attract attention even when she's a man!
Upon hearing this, the family heads exchanged glances, quite satisfied.
Such a genius, unmarried! Truly a rare find.
"Young Master Jun, you're new to the Azure Dragon Realm, you should make many friends! I happen to have two daughters who are about your age, I'll introduce you to them later," the Chen family head said with a smile.
"Sure," Xiao Luo said, accepting all offers.
The head of the Chen family beckoned, signaling his daughter to pour wine for Xiao Luo.
He then sat down next to Xiao Luo.
Hua Yun'er, who was sitting to the right of the Hua family head, was green with envy when she saw this scene.
Seeing Xiao Luo, he welcomed everyone without hesitation, and all the sense of superiority he had painstakingly accumulated before vanished.
The head of the Hua family also noticed his daughter's displeasure.
Cleared his throat.
Seeing the displeasure on the face of the Hua family head, the Chen family head toned it down a bit, but his daughter did not want to leave Xiao Luo's side.
Bitch!
Hua Yun'er was filled with resentment.
Xiao Luo thoroughly enjoyed this feeling. After being a spirit for so many years, he had forgotten what it felt like to be surrounded by women.
Bang! Just then, the corpse of the five-clawed dragon fell from the sky and crashed into the courtyard.
The guests, who were clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, were quite startled.
Some of the women had never seen such a scene before. The daughter of the Chen family head then threw herself into Xiao Luo's arms.
Xiao Luo's lips twitched, and he gently pushed the woman away.
He took advantage of the chaos to leave the hall.
This scene was witnessed by the head of the Hua family. He waved his hand, and immediately—a group of guards followed.
The boy did not return for a long time.
The head of the Hua family frowned and stepped out of the hall.
Meanwhile, Hua Yun'er followed the young man as he left the hall.
As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, a Heavenly Rank magical beast pounced on her.
Hua Yun'er's cultivation level was not low, but this scene did not happen too suddenly.
She retreated repeatedly, summoning her weapon to block in front of her, but there was more than one monster.
Another monster lunged at Hua Yun'er's back!
Crash-!
Hua Yun'er was pushed away. Just as the monster's claws were about to pierce through Hua Yun'er's body, Liu Yue grabbed her arm and pulled her forward.
With his right hand, he plunged his sword into the monster's chest, then leaped into the air and landed with Hua Yun'er in his arms.
