332 Willow
As soon as Ning Yue finished speaking, there was the sound of fighting outside the door.
This sound frightened Ning Yue. She glanced at the two children who were sleeping soundly. After some thought, she stood up and pushed open the window.
Baili was fighting a fiery red person.
Seeing this scene, Ning Yue frowned. Who was this person? She had never seen him in her memory, nor had she heard of any figure in red.
âWho are you? You came to eavesdrop in the middle of the night. Arenât you afraid that Iâll kill you?â Baili didnât look happy.
His expression was not good for anything else, but because he did not know about this manâs appearance!
If Ning Yue hadnât suddenly called him over, he really wouldnât have realized that there was someone upstairs.
He didnât see such a big person in red!
He counted with his fingers. There were less than five people in the world who could surpass him in martial arts. Who could this person be?
Baili didnât have time to think. The man in red in front of him attacked him ruthlessly. It was very difficult for him to deal with him.
Baili was certain that if this man in red used all his strength, he would definitely not last ten moves.
At the thought of this, Baili tried his best. He wanted to take off this manâs mask and at least see what he looked like.
âLord Baili, do you want to see my face so badly? But the Devil Marquis hsd never taken off his mask,â the man in red said with a smile.
Me? Baili was stunned. In the entire world, the only person who called himself the Devil Marquis Willow. Was this the legendary Devil Marquis?
Just as Baili was feeling extremely surprised, Ning Yue walked out.
âStop!â Ning Yue shouted.
She put on her coat and went outside.
âHow should I address you?â Ning Yue looked at this man with a dark expression.
âWillow.â Willow said.
His eyes were filled with indifference. When he met his gaze, he felt as if he had fallen into an icehouse.
âIs peeping fun?â Baili frowned fiercely.
He knew very well what kind of person Willow was. There must be a reason for him to appear here at this time. He did not want Ning Yue to be in danger.
âBaili.â Ning Yue stopped Baili from continuing.
Although she had never heard of Willow, she knew that it was best not to provoke people with this title.
âIâm just an ordinary person. I shouldnât have provoked you in any way. I just want to do business steadily,â Ning Yue said.
Willow glanced at Baili and then at Ning Yue. âYou left a troublemaker by your side. Are you sure you can do business steadily?â
What? Ning Yue was stunned. A troublemaker? When had she ever kept a troublemaker by her side?
âWhy? Donât you know that Lian Lian is a troublemaker?â
What? Ning Yue was stunned. âWhatâs your connection?â Ning Yue asked.
What a sharp sixth sense! Willow praised.
But he didnât admit it. Instead, he said calmly, âNo connection.â
Ning Yue took a deep breath and forced a smile. âI donât care who Liu Lian is. Heâs my employee and canât be changed. If thereâs nothing else, please leave. This is my room. It wonât be good for me if word gets out that you came in the middle of the night.â
As she spoke, Ning Yue gestured for him to leave.
Willow suddenly sneered and strode to Ning Yue, his eyes as cold as snowflakes.
âOne day youâll know whoâs really good to you.â With that, he left.
He had come over and said that in a daze. What did he mean?
Ning Yue was about to turn around when she realized that a small thing had appeared in her hand.
She looked down and saw that it was a jade token! On it was the word âDemonâ written in a flamboyant manner.
âDemon Palace Token!â Baili gasped.
âWhatâs a Demon Palace Token?â Ning Yue asked in confusion.
Baili explained the Demon Palace Token. Ning Yue was also shocked.
The Demon Palace Token was Willowâs identity symbol. Legend had it that the Demon Palace Token could command all the forces of the Demon Palace, but the Demon Marquis actually gave it to Willow just like that?
What exactly was his motive?
Ning Yue felt that his actions tonight could not be as simple as a greeting. He must have a motive.
However, she couldnât figure out what it was yet. She could only ask Jiang Ying to check later.
