Chapter 1203: Came Looking

Starlight City, in Ou Yangming’s courtyard.

Bai Cong finally followed him. Other than following this mysterious powerhouse, he really did not know where else to go.

His few brothers had betrayed him. His only hope of leaving the city was Third Old Hu but at this moment, he was being watched by the second young master’s men. If he went over there, he would be walking into a trap.

Bai Cong saw confidence in the eyes of this mysterious powerhouse. Perhaps there was really a chance of survival if he followed him.

“Master Ou.”

The 2 guards outside the door stood upright. When they saw Ou Yangming return, they said respectfully.

“Mm.”

Ou Yangming nodded and stepped into the courtyard.

Looking at these 2 guards, Bai Cong’s gaze was somewhat shocked. The auras of these 2 people were sharp and fierce, and they seemed to be much stronger than him.

Bai Cong felt a little more confident. ‘This mysterious senior has such powerful guards, so he’s surely not an ordinary person. Maybe he could really fight against the governor’s second young master.’

He came with Ou Yangming, so the 2 guards outside did not stop him.

“My name is Ou Yangming. After entering this courtyard, you’ll be the butler of the Yangming Villa.” After entering the courtyard, Ou Yangming turned his head and said.

The name of the villa was something that Ou Yangming had just thought of on this day. His courtyard was just below a small hill. There were quite a few small hills like this in Starlight City so it would be more elegant to regard his courtyard as a villa than a mansion.

Bai Cong respectfully said, “Yes, Master.”

Ou Yangming smiled faintly and waved his hand. 2 servants holding lanterns walked over. He pointed at Bai Cong and introduced, “His name is Bai Cong. From now on, he’ll be the butler of the Yangming Villa. You have to listen to his arrangements from now on.”

“Yes, Master.”

The servants responded softly. They stole a few glances at Bai Cong and memorized his appearance.

Ou Yangming waved his hand. “Bring Butler Bai to wash up.”

“Yes.”

A servant stretched out his hand to the side. “Butler Bai, this way please.”

Bai Cong looked at his dirty appearance and left with a few servants. He could finally sleep peacefully here. As for what would happen tomorrow, he did not know either, but that was all in the future.

He chose to trust Ou Yangming because if it was not for him, his head would have fallen to the ground tonight. The young fellow clearly knew that the person who was pursuing him was from the Governor’s Residence, yet he still dared to take him in as a butler. This ignited some hope in his heart.

After returning to the villa, Ou Yangming called out Lil’ Red and Big Yellow.

He now had a place to settle down in the Great Wide World, so Big Yellow and Lil’ Red did not have to continue hiding in the poisonous pill’s world.

These days, Old Wutong was much more relaxed. Lil’ Red’s Heavenly Phoenix Fire was very fierce. The fire had helped burn Old Wutong many times, and a thin layer of decayed skin had disappeared from his body.

“Lil’ Ming, what’s this place?”

In the poisonous pill’s world, they could not see what was happening outside. Lil’ Red and Big Yellow did not know where this place was.

“This is Starlight City, a small city in the Zhenwu Continent. I plan to settle down here for the time being.”

“Is this our home?”

Big Yellow looked left and right. When he released his spiritual sense, he could see the entire mountain villa.

“Yes, we’ll stay here for a while,” Ou Yangming replied.

Lil’ Red flew to Ou Yangming’s shoulder and whispered into his ear, “Lil’ Ming, Big Yellow can already transform…”

Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up, and he looked down at Big Yellow.

Transform…

What would Big Yellow look like after transforming? Ou Yangming was looking forward to it.

“Red-feathered Bird, didn’t I tell you not to tell Lil’ Ming? You broke your promise!” Big Yellow looked at Lil’ Red on Ou Yangming’s shoulder angrily.

“Big Yellow, why are you so angry? Shouldn’t shapeshifting be a good thing? Why are you hiding it from me?”

Ou Yangming patted Big Yellow’s head. “Hurry up and shapeshift into human form. Let me see what you look like.”

Lil’ Red jumped from Ou Yangming’s left shoulder to his right and said gloatingly, “Big Yellow, didn’t you hear that? Lil’ Ming wants to see what you look like. Hurry up… Hahaha…”

Big Yellow was very helpless. He could only transform into his human form. He would not be able to hide it anyway. Ou Yangming would find out sooner or later.

Seeing Big Yellow’s appearance, Ou Yangming finally understood why he was so unwilling.

Big Yellow was less than 1.45 meters tall and was not even close to Ou Yangming’s chest. He had a baby face, making him look like a 7 or 8-years-old child. He had a braid on his head and wore yellow clothes, making him look like a small adult.

“Hahaha…” Lil’ Red did not hide his laughter. Ou Yangming also tried hard to hold back his laughter. The little boy next to him had an aggrieved look on his face. After a few seconds, Big Yellow returned to his original appearance. He was very regretful. If he had known that he would become like this, he would not have shown off next to Lil’ Red when he could transform.

Big Yellow raised his head and roared at Lil’ Red on Ou Yangming’s shoulder, “Red-feathered Bird, don’t be complacent. The reason I became like this is that I developed too quickly. The life cycle of phoenixes is even longer. You should be worried about what you’ll become when you transform in the future. You might even become an egg!”

Lil’ Red’s laughter came to an abrupt end. He glared fiercely at Big Yellow. He had the same worry in his heart. What Big Yellow said was true. Phoenixes had an even longer lifespan. This was also the reason he had not shown any signs of transforming yet.

If he transformed in the future, he would not turn into an egg. After all, humans were not bred from eggs, but it was very likely that he would be even smaller than Big Yellow.

Lil’ Red was secretly on guard. In the future, when he could transform, he would find a place where there was nobody. If he did not like the way he looked, he would refuse to admit it and pretend that he had never transformed before.

Early the next morning, a clamor came from outside the door.

A servant hurried over. “Master, something bad has happened. The second young master of the Governor’s Residence has come to kill us.”

“He came quite quickly.” Ou Yangming was a little surprised that the young master had come to him so early in the morning after he brought Bai Cong back yesterday. It seemed that the young master was quite efficient. No wonder Bai Cong was being chased so miserably.

Lil’ Red followed behind Ou Yangming. Big Yellow turned into a mutt and curiously followed beside Ou Yangming.

It was very noisy outside. Dozens of servants in the villa were surrounding the gate, and Bai Cong was also there. He looked very bad.

Outside the gate were the inner sect disciples that Ou Yangming had brought from the Seven Stars Pavilion. They were guarding outside and did not let those people in.

After seeing Ou Yangming, Bai Cong walked over quickly and said in a deep voice, “Master, they’re here.”

He glanced at Lil’ Red and Big Yellow again, thinking that they were Ou Yangming’s pets and did not take them to heart.

Ou Yangming reached out and patted Bai Cong’s shoulder, saying, “Don’t worry. With me here, even if the governor of Starlight came personally, he wouldn’t be able to hurt you. You can work for me in peace. As for the rest, just leave it to me.”

These words immediately made Bai Cong feel much more at ease.

Ou Yangming walked out of the gate.

There were more than 10 people outside. The one in the front was an unruly young man. Beside him was an old man in the early stage of a Ruler. Behind him were more than 10 soldiers in iron armor.

Ou Yangming found that the leader of the men in black, who was injured by him yesterday, was among them. He had changed his appearance, but he could not change his aura.

“Master Ou.”

The 8 guards saluted when they saw Ou Yangming coming.

Ou Yangming nodded, indicating that they did not need to be too polite.

“Are you the master of the Yangming Villa?”

The young man looked at Ou Yangming arrogantly. He knew the name of the villa from the guards outside the gate.

“Yes, I’m the master here. May I know why you’re here?” Ou Yangming raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at the young man.

“Outrageous!”

The young master shouted coldly, and his eyes became sharp. “As a member of Starlight City, you actually protected a fugitive from the Governor’s Residence. How should you be punished?”

Ou Yangming did not mind and said indifferently, “I don’t quite understand what you mean.”

The young master sneered. “Bai Cong’s in your villa, right? He’s a criminal wanted by the Governor’s Residence. I’m giving you a chance now. If you hand him over voluntarily, I’ll let you live. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”

He was still somewhat wary of this sudden appearance of the villa. This was mainly because the old man beside him had told him that the few guards outside were all top-grade Venerable Ones. This meant that the owner of the villa was not ordinary.

If it was not necessary, the young master would not want to have a conflict with these people of unknown origins. Of course, if the other party did not cooperate, it would be another story.

There were already a few onlookers in the distance. Although this was not a prosperous area, the noise had attracted some people’s attention.

“Didn’t the people from the villa move here a few days ago? How did they offend the second young master?”

The people around immediately understood what had happened when they saw this scene.

Starlight City was pretty good in other aspects, but the governor had a mischievous second young master. This was something that everyone in Starlight City knew.

“The second young master has brought the city guards here. It seems that he doesn’t intend to be friendly. This time, there’ll be a good show to watch.”

“Who doesn’t know that in Starlight City, the second young master is a devil king? If one provokes the second young master, one won’t end well. That family will be unlucky.”

The people around were discussing animatedly.

On this side, the second young master was still waiting for Ou Yangming’s reply. Ou Yangming smiled slightly and said, “Bai Cong’s in our villa, but I plan to keep him as a butler, and I don’t plan to hand him over to you.”

“How dare you!”

The second young master glared angrily, and the city guards behind him also drew their weapons. The owner of this villa actually said such arrogant words. He was simply disregarding the Governor’s Residence.

Seeing this, the guards of the Seven Stars Pavilion also drew their magic swords and stared at the other party with fierce eyes. War was about to break out at any moment.
