Haotian and Yaochi didn't know that they had been targeted by others. They followed the black-robed men and walked to a slum-like place. The houses here were very dilapidated. The pedestrians on the roadside hid one after another when they saw them. The black-robed men came to an abandoned yard in the slum, and took off their black robes and showed their appearance under the black robes. These people were all burly men with firm faces. Although they were wearing tattered clothes, Haotian saw from some of their actions that these people were soldiers.

"Torry, you can take everyone back first and contact us in a few days." An old man with white hair ordered to a burly man.

"Mark..." Tori hesitated for a moment and whispered to the old man: "You must be careful."

"I have my own sense of responsibility. You go back first, be careful of Bill's lackey." The old man looked at Haotian and Yaochi quietly, and then instructed Tori.

"Yeah!" Tori nodded, turned around and said to the other big men, "Everyone comes with me." After hearing Tori's words, the other big men followed the big men in an orderly manner. Haotian and Yaochi stood aside and watched quietly.

"Two sirs come with me." After the big men left, the old man made a gesture to Haotian and led the way forward.

Haotian and Yaochi followed the old man in the slum and came to a room. The old man stepped forward and knocked gently: "Tu tuk!"

"Who?" A girl's crisp voice came from the room.

"Tia is me!"

"Ah, Grandpa, you're back."

"Squeak!"

The girl in the room heard the old man's voice and heard a happy voice. After a while, the door of the room opened, and a little girl about fifteen years old walked out and threw herself into the old man's arms. She cried in a low voice: "Grandpa, you are finally back, I thought I wouldn't see you!"

"Okay, little Tia, aren't grandpa back?" The old man patted the little girl's back lovingly to comfort her.

"Little Tia becomes a little cat when she is crying, and others are going to laugh at you."

"Tia is not a little cat..." The little girl raised her head and said a few words, and saw Haotian and Yaochi. She immediately hid in the old man's arms, looked at Haotian and Yaochi with some fear and asked the old man, "Grandpa, who are they?"

"Don't be afraid of Tia, they are Lord Ax's brothers..." After the old man introduced Haotian and Yaochi, hesitated for a moment, and said with a heartache expression on his face: "You go and prepare and entertain the two adults with the highest specifications."

After hearing the old man's words, the little girl trembled for a moment, nodded gently, and ran to the house quickly like a frightened bird and went immediately.

"Please follow me, two sirs." The old man respectfully made a gesture of invitation. Haotian glanced at the old man and then stepped into the room.

After Haotian and Yaochi entered the house, they found that the house was very dilapidated, with dark candlelight, yellowed walls, and simple and dilapidated furniture. All of this indicates that the old man was not doing well.

"The room below is a bit simple, please forgive me, both of you." The old man apologized to Haotian and Yao Chi with an embarrassing expression on his face.

"fine!"

Haotian waved his hand indifferently, and then sat on a tattered chair. After Haotian sat down, Yaochi also sat on the stool next to Haotian. When the old man saw that Haotian really didn't care, he felt relieved. As soon as Haotian sat down, the little girl walked out with two crystal cups. The little girl put the cup in front of Haotian and Yaochi, and then took out a silver knife.

Haotian had a surprised expression on his face. He looked at the little girl with interest, wanting to see what the little girl was going to do next. The little girl cut her wrist with a knife and immediately put the wound on the crystal cup. Blood immediately gushed out and rushed into the crystal cup.

"Stop, what are you doing?" Haotian was stunned for a moment and immediately stopped the little girl.

"Sir, please rest assured. My granddaughter is still a local (defense and harmony) girl. She tastes no worse than those specialized blood slaves." The old man saw Haotian's appearance and thought Haotian disliked the little girl's blood. He quickly explained to Haotian.

Haotian ignored the old man's words, raised the little girl's wrist and shouted Yao Chi's name: "Junior sister!"

When Yao Chi heard Haotian call him, she knew what Haotian meant. A ball of white light appeared on her hand, and then she put the white light on the little girl's wound. The wound that was originally bleeding immediately returned to its original state. After seeing this scene, the old man's pupils shrank suddenly, and a blood-red light appeared on his body. The old man stared at Haotian and Yao Chi with a cautious look and asked, "Who are you?"

"We? We are magicians." Haotian turned his head and answered the old man after seeing the little girl's hand being cured.

"Magic?" After hearing Haotian's words, the old man was stunned for a moment, and then asked Haotian and Yaochi: "The magician and our blood clan are incompatible, how could they be our Lord Ax's elder brother?"

"We met in the courtyard." Before Haotian could think of how to answer, Yao Chi answered for Haotian.

"Parquet?" After hearing Yao Chi's words, the old man showed a surprised expression on his face. He quickly asked, "Is it called the courtyard of the hometown of Hope?" Yao Chi nodded gently. After seeing Yao Chi nodded, a hint of joy flashed across his face. Most people don't know about the courtyard, but the old man heard Ax say in an accident, so he understood what the matter was about the courtyard.

"Where are the two adults here this time?" Although the old man tried his best to restrain his smile on his face, Haotian still saw that the old man was very happy now.

"Ahem!" Haotian coughed twice on purpose, attracting the old man's gaze. After seeing the old man looking at him, Haotian spoke, "That's right, Ax is helping our courtyard to carry out a secret mission. He will come to your help message and cannot come in time, so let's see." Although Haotian didn't know where the courtyard was, it did not prevent him from pulling the big drum.

After hearing Haotian's explanation, the old man suddenly realized his expression on his face. When Haotian saw the expression on the old man's face, he felt relieved. Although he didn't know what the old man had imagined, he knew that the old man had at least initially trusted them.

"Can you bring me and my granddaughter with you when the two adults leave?" The old man looked at Haotian with anticipation. When Haotian heard the old man's words, he knew what he was thinking.

"This..." Haotian deliberately showed a look of embarrassment on his face. After seeing Haotian's face, the old man felt a little excited. When he thought the matter was gone, Haotian suddenly said, "Although people cannot enter the courtyard casually, if you perform well, I can find a way to take you in."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." After hearing Haotian's words, the old man knelt in front of Haotian and kowtowed wildly. The old man's granddaughter looked at the old man who was constantly kowtowing with a blank look on his face, not knowing what had happened.

"Okay, why do you send a message to the Ax brothers?" Haotian stopped the old man's kowtow and then asked the old man why he sent the message.

"Hey, two sirs, this matter starts when Lord Ax left..." The old man sighed and started to talk slowly.
