Chapter 521: Chapter 521

She held a hanging needle with her left hand and picked up the chopsticks with her right, bowing her head to eat.

Long Yubei turned and went out, but he soon returned, dragging his suitcase behind him. Seeing this, Gu Lili asked, "Are you going to stay here?"

"To prevent similar incidents from happening again, in the future, I will stay by your side when you sleep, and no matter what happens, I will not leave."

"You sleep on the sofa, you’re not allowed to sleep in the bed."

He agreed, "Alright."

"Who sent those two people, did you check?" Content orıginally comes from novel·fiɾe·net

"I’ve sent Xiao Bai to the underworld to investigate; we should have some clues soon." He squatted down and opened the suitcase, "If they don’t confess, we’ll make them stay longer in hell; there are ways to make them talk."

"It could have been Lin Yueer who sent them. She had visited before, but she didn’t dare approach because I had the Huiling Sword. Of course, it’s just a guess; it could also not be her." Gu Lili asked, "The Huiling Sword can absorb blood, does your Jiuquan Sword do the same?"

"Both swords are so extraordinary; from now on, wherever you go, keep it with you at all times. Although it might be cumbersome, it’s better to be safe than sorry."

"I’ll do as you say."

Gu Lili fell silent, lowering her head to continue eating.

Long Yubei’s deep eyes took on a soft charm. After he finished sorting out his things, he went to the underworld.

He bumped into Xiao Bai, who was just about to look for him.

"Seventh Prince." Xiao Bai stopped a few meters away from Long Yubei, not daring to get closer. "Young Master, why do you have a demon-suppressing object on you?"

"Lili told me to always carry it with me."

Xiao Bai: "...Your Highness, this is the underworld; everyone here is afraid of it. Bringing this back to the underworld, won’t you consider our feelings?"

"Your feelings are not important. What’s the status?"

"They were just scared a bit, and then they confessed. They are assassins, said a client found them online and paid half the fee upfront to have Miss Gu assassinated. As for the client’s name or any other information, they know nothing." Xiao Bai then asked, "Should we investigate in the mortal world?"

"There’s no need; the other party definitely didn’t leave any trails."

"By the way, when I was coming from over there, I saw the princes headed in the direction of the Netherworld King Hall. I wonder what’s the matter?"

"Let’s go have a look."

Long Yubei walked ahead, Xiao Bai nervously followed a few meters behind, eyeing the sword on his back.

Upon reaching the entrance of the Netherworld King Hall, all the Ghost Spirits neatly avoided him. Stepping into the grand hall, they heard the Netherworld King speak, "Seventh, you’ve come at the right time; I was about to send someone to call you."

"My child heard that some brothers had come here, so I came to have a look."

As he approached, the princes exclaimed in surprise.

"Seventh Brother, what is that sword on your back?!"

"Seventh Brother, stay away!"

"Such a powerful devouring force, one can’t get close; what is that?"

"This has been passed down through my Long Family." Long Yubei introduced indifferently, "It has come down to me, and I am its keeper."

"Hand it over, let your father have a look."

"Yes." Long Yubei took off the Jiuquan Sword and tossed it; the sword swiftly landed in the Netherworld King’s hand.

He examined the sword with a grave expression, "Is this possibly the Jiuquan Sword?"

Long Yubei asked in surprise, "Father, you know of this sword?"

The Netherworld King handed the sword back to him, "If my memory serves me right, the Rejuvenation Netherworld Sword comes in a pair, and this is just one of them."
