Chapter 2398

Nangong Yun’s heart tightened; that gaze was terrifying. So many people surrounded this person, yet she could still feel an inexplicable fear.

Such a powerful aura, she had only seen in a handful of people.

She composed herself, tried to act calm, and said, “She is just the Bei Family’s adopted daughter. Do you think capturing her can threaten us?”

Mu Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow and relaxed his grip slightly.

Bei Xier finally could breathe freely and began to cough violently.

She’s the Bei Family’s adopted daughter… and truly, it’s unclear how important this person really is.

However, that’s not the issue. The important thing is that the experts who broke into Youyang Pavilion have been drawn to this side.

Mu Xiaoyao’s gaze drifted to Bei Qingyue, capturing the hesitation in her eyes.

Perhaps, the significance of this girl is more than just an ordinary adopted daughter.

“Stop.”

Suddenly, from behind Bei Qingyue, an aged voice came through.

With Lan’s help, the Old Madam slowly walked to the front.

Nangong Yun immediately moved closer to her and angrily said, “Grandmother, this person actually wants to use an adopted daughter to threaten the Bei Family; it’s ridiculous.”

With the Old Madam here, given her concern for Youyang Pavilion, she would never let this person who broke in get away easily.

An adopted daughter couldn’t possibly threaten her.

The Old Madam frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in her eyes.

Her gaze fell on Mu Xiaoyao, and she said mildly, “Young man, what do you want to do in Youyang Pavilion?”

Although Mu Xiaoyao’s face was covered with a layer of cloth, from his silhouette and build, she roughly guessed his age.

Mu Xiaoyao looked at her calmly and replied, “I heard the Bei Family has quite a few treasures; I just came to take a look.”

Such an excuse naturally didn’t convince the Old Madam. Carefully selected places went unexplored, and what treasures could an abandoned Youyang Pavilion hold?

Moreover, even such advanced surveillance had been replaced. If it was just a thief, how could he possess such sophisticated skills?

Bei Qingyue snorted coldly and scolded, “Youyang Pavilion has been silent for decades, what treasures could there be?”

“Tell me, what’s your real purpose for coming here?”

Youyang Pavilion had always been a forbidden place as decreed by the Old Madam, yet this person insisted on coming here.

Could it be that this person has some connection to Bei Qingyou?

Bei Qingyue found it a bit strange, looked at the Old Madam, and saw her also bowing her head in thought.

Mu Xiaoyao was impatient with their nonsense and continued to silently count the number of people coming out from the courtyard.

Finally, there were no more people coming out from the courtyard.

He pulled with a large hand, bringing Bei Xier once again in front of his chest.

“I heard that her life doesn’t matter to the Bei Family?”

The Old Madam’s heart tightened, and her hand unconsciously lifted slightly.

“No…”

The concern in her eyes was seen by everyone present.

The Old Madam cared very much about Bei Xier!

Everyone’s eyes were on her, wanting to see how she would rescue Bei Xier from the man in black.

Nangong Yun had long disliked Bei Xier. Ever since she came to the Bei Family and recognized her mother as her adoptive mother, she had been cherished by both her mother and grandmother.

Even her grandfather liked her more than herself, and she had a feeling that Bei Xier would threaten her future position in the Bei Family.

She was the biological granddaughter, and Bei Xier was just an adopted daughter. How could she swallow this?

As long as she incited her grandmother to act against this man in black, it might force him to truly harm Bei Xier in desperation.

That way, she could kill two birds with one stone.
