Chapter 171: Chapter 167: Seeking Help

Southern Noble Manor

“Young Master Mi Hou has arrived—” With the doorman’s announcement. Mi Hou rushed into the Noble Manor, heading straight to the council room and throwing himself at Mi Shen’s desk.

“Brother! You must help me this time.”

Engrossed in his work, Mi Shen did not look up. He finished the task at hand leisurely before finally raising his head to look at the humiliated face of Mi Hou.

“What’s the matter?” Mi Shen asked calmly, a trace of mockery flickering in his eyes that shone like stars.

“Brother!” Before Mi Shen, there was no trace of his tyranny back at the Mi Manor, only the pleading of a younger brother to his elder. “Tang Luo slaughtered all the warriors I painstakingly gathered and even captured my servant!”

Did Tang Luo actually capture Li Shao Yuan? Is he afraid the incident outside of the Fox Immortal Temple would be exposed?

With a raise of his eyebrows, Mi Shen asked calmly, “Wasn’t your servant busy inciting the four smaller families to pressure Tang Sen? How did he end up being captured?”

Upon hearing this, Mi Hou’s face turned pale with embarrassment. “You knew all about it?”

Seeing his brother’s reaction, Mi Shen knew that this was another scheme of Li Shao Yuan, the servant. So he coldly responded, “Not just me. Given the huge commotion, at least a dozen families have their eyes on him.”

Li Shao Yuan had once assured Mi Hou that everything would be done discreetly. Discovering it was instead such a public spectacle made Mi Hou feel more embarrassed. Nevertheless, considering the deep master-servant relationship and that Li Shao Yuan was now in Tang Luo’s hands, he didn’t want to dwell on those minor issues. He earnestly told Mi Shen, “That’s not the point. Tang Luo is mixing with Gong Zheng. He even kidnapped my servant. Brother, you must help me!”

With a shout in the strategizing room, Mi Shen saw several of his strategists furrowing their brows unconsciously. He quietly scolded Mi Hou, “Enough of this embarrassment, come outside with me.”
