It's easy to go down the mountain without a horse, but it's a long way to the nearby village, and it's easy to get into trouble on foot.

If you build the stable at the foot of the mountain, it will be attacked by strange things and it will be for nothing.

Just thinking about it like this made Fang Yue feel very troublesome, let alone the fact that old man Ning had really lived in the mountains for many years.

For a moment, Fang Yue had a little admiration for old man Ning, who had never been masked before. At first glance, he had a true craftsman mentality.

Staying aloof from the world and concentrating on studying skills, no wonder I can make so much money and hire so many masters.

"Excuse me, is this distinguished guest Mr. Ye Baiyi?"

A woman with the waist of a bucket walked over with a smile on her face, surrounded by a dozen servants.

"Hello ma'am!"

Fang Yueda said politely.

The bucket-waisted woman was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and chuckled: "Young Master Ye misunderstood, I am the third housekeeper of the Ning family, you can call me housekeeper Liao."

Ah…not Old Man Ning’s wife…

Fang Yue looked embarrassed: "It turns out to be Butler Liao, whom I have admired for a long time."

"Young Master Ye, you're welcome."

Butler Liao led Fang Yue toward the front hall. As he walked, he said: "Young Master Ye came at the right time. I just woke up and heard that a guest was coming, so I immediately invited you over."

"Uh-huh."

Fang Yue nodded in response, constantly observing the surroundings and found that the number of servants in Ning Mansion was more than he thought.

You know, this is an isolated mansion on the top of a mountain.

Even if the extra money is not low, you are indeed in the wild and may encounter strange things at any time.

At the same time, they have to endure an isolated environment and no contact with the outside world.

For such a place, even if the price is high, few people would be willing to stay.

Not to mention...most of Ning Mansion's servants are still warriors.

Fang Yue became more and more confused and couldn't help but ask: "How much monthly salary does old man Ning give you? Is it a lot?"

Butler Liao was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "The question Mr. Ye asked is somewhat interesting, but it is not convenient for us to answer this aspect."

Although he didn't answer, other people's natural demeanor when facing this question probably means that the treatment will not be too bad.

Well, it seems that you really have the money to do whatever you want.

After Fang Yue walked through several corridors and entered the hall, he finally met the 'legendary' old man Ning.

He was a strange old man with one big floppy ear and some deformities.

He was picking his feet with one hand and yawning with the other, which was very different from the image of the master of craftsmanship that Fang Yue had in mind.

"Sir, we've brought you here."

Hearing Butler Liao's voice, Old Man Ning stiffened, calmed down his expression, and sat upright.

"Don't be anxious for the moment. Butler Liao, the first steward and the second official, have you ever said when you will be back?"

"Back to my lord, the first housekeeper was in a hurry to go home to visit his relatives and didn't leave a letter saying when he would be back. The second official's family said he would come back after settling the matter. I think he will be back in ten and a half months."

"Hmm... That's good. Without them, I feel like I haven't been able to sleep well lately."

Butler Liao narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled: "Master, you don't get enough rest and work too hard. I'm here in the house, so ordinary weird things can't hurt you."

"Well...that's good."

Asking Butler Liao to step back, Old Man Ning looked at Fang Yue.

"Sit down. I heard them say that Ye Baiyi came to me on behalf of Qingsi. Did the stubborn old man ask you to come?"

"Yes and no."

Fang Yue sat on the chair on the left side of the hall and said: "I came here because I wanted to ask Ning Lao some questions. And the reason why I came here was because of the advice of the stubborn old man."

"...What are you asking?"

"I want to know who Ning Lao has made fluorescent bracelets for recently."

When Fang Yue asked this question, her eyes were fixed on Old Man Ning, observing his every move.

However, Old Man Ning did not show any flaws or panic.

He listened very calmly and then said: "Yes, I have recently made a batch of weird things for people from the Agni Fire Sect, including fluorescent bracelets."

Agni Fire Sect?!

Fang Yue's pupils shrank.

How could it be related to the Fire Sect?

Could it be that the people who captured Master Han and Lin Ling were actually people from the Fiery Fire Sect?

No... maybe that's really the case!

Fang Yue's face darkened and her eyes turned cold.

He remembered Master Han saying that major sects such as the Fiery Fire Sect came to visit him every few years.

At that time, Lord Han's strength was unfathomable and no one dared to offend him.

Now Master Han's strength is gone, but all his knowledge reserves are still there.

If the Fiery Sect has a plot, it must be the best time to take action.

As for Lin Ling's disappearance, I'm afraid it's just a bait to lure Lord Han to take the bait...

Wait! No! Their Fire Sect acts domineeringly. If they want to capture Lord Han, why do they have to beat around the bush like this?

And when he was in Qingsi County...no one should know that Master Han had lost his cultivation.

Fang Yue was confused again, and became dubious about old man Ning's words.

No matter what, the clue points directly to the Agni Fire Sect, so just go back and investigate.

Unlike a translucent fringe person like Bai Xiaoya, no matter what he does in Qingsi, he will not get any attention.

People like the Fire Sect, no matter what they do in Qingsi County, they will be watched by pairs of eyes. It is very convenient to check their whereabouts and what they have done.

Fang Yue then repeatedly checked with Old Man Ning and confirmed that only people from the Fire Sect had bought fluorescent bracelets.

Fang Yue stood up.

"In that case, I won't bother you any more."

Old man Ning was stunned for a moment.

"Wait a minute, Ye Baiyi is leaving now? I've already asked people to prepare dinner for the night. Let's have a meal and rest for the night, and then leave tomorrow morning.

If you go back now, even if you are riding a Qingsi horse, it will be dark on the road before you reach Qingsi County. You Qingwei should know how dangerous the wilderness is after dark."

What?

Are you telling me, the God of War at Night, what to do if there is danger after dark? How about I blast the weird dog head!

Cupping his hands, Fang Yue said: "No, Lin Ling's life or death is uncertain. I need to return to Qingsi County immediately to report the information, and then investigate the people of the Fiery Fire Sect."

Old man Ning tried to persuade him a few more times, but seeing that he could not keep Fang Yue who was determined to leave, he stopped trying to persuade him and only asked someone to send Fang Yue to the stables.

But before anyone could walk out of the hall, Ning Wudian suddenly ran over from outside in a hurry, shouting as he ran.

"Ye, Ye Baiyi, something bad has happened. Your horse is gone! Your horse is gone!"

Fang Yue:???

Feelings: Are you still a Zaun horse hunter??

Fang Yue's face darkened, and she looked at Ning Wudian who was running over, and then at the confused old man Ning.

"Don't worry, tell me slowly, what's going on? What happened to my... green silk horse?"

"Your horse, your horse ate our forage. It seemed like it was poisoned. It was lying on the ground and twitching! Our doctor is rescuing it. Go and see your horse quickly!"

"...It's a blue-haired horse! Forget it, where is the stable? I'll go and see."
