Li Wan asked worriedly, “Little Seven… has his identity been exposed?”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded slowly. “I’m afraid so.”
Li Wan’s expression changed. “There are so many Ghost Shadow Guards. If
Little Seven is exposed, won’t he be doomed?”
Facing 30 Ghost Shadow Guards with strong martial arts, what were the odds for Little Seven?
Wei Qing gripped the armrest of the wheelchair tightly.
Su Xiaoxiao decided to look for Wei Ting. “Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, I’ll go take a look first. I’ll inform you when there’s news.” She brought the Saintess along.
Wuhu also brought its flying bird army—the golden eagle, the black crow, and the falcon of the Saintess.
Under the recruitment of Wuhu, the falcon became the new underling of the little parrot.
—It was definitely not tempted by the bird food, nor was it beaten into submission by the golden eagle.
When Su Xiaoxiao and the Saintess rushed to the vicinity of the stream where Wei Ting had disappeared, Su MO had just arrived.
Looking at the familiar figure, Su Xiaoxiao was a little stunned. “Cousin?” Su MO turned around and saw his sister.
Su Xiaoxiao was extremely thin when she fought at the border. She had been eating and drinking well recently and had gained some. Her cute round face was red and moist.
Su MO was slightly relieved. His expression softened and he walked towards her with a gentle gaze. “Xiaoxiao.”
“Cousin, why are you in the Southern Wilderness?” Su Xiaoxiao had just asked when she suddenly realized something. “Don’t tell me you were part of envoy escorting the princess to the capital?”
Su MO nodded. “That’s right.”
His sister was so smart, and his brother was so stupid.
Sitting in the carriage, Su Li suddenly sneezed.
Su MO said, “Granduncle is very good. The war in Northern Yan is going smoothly. Don’t worry. How’s your body?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’m fine.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the Su family’s navy who was constantly diving and searching in the stream and understood that Su MO was also here to look for Wei Ting.
The siblings should have had a lot to say when they reunited. However, Wei Ting’s whereabouts were unknown, and his life and death were unknown. The two of them could only suppress the joy of their reunion.
A navy member sneaked up and gestured to Su Mo.
Su MO nodded and said to Su Xiaoxiao, “We’re almost done searching here. Let’s go downstream.”
The Black-armored Guards were not good at swimming and mainly searched the shore and the forest.
The Su family’s army dived underwater and searched for clues in the stream.
“Young Master!”
He swam ashore and handed the helmet to Su Mo.
Su MO handed the helmet to Su Xiaoxiao. “Do you know this Il?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “This is the helmet of the Southern Wilderness Imperial
Forest Army.”
Su MO said, “When I met Wei Chen just now, I heard from Wei Chen that Wei
Ting infiltrated the army and hid beside the King of the Southern Border.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked along the stream. “There’s a waterfall ahead.”
Wei Liulang and Ghostfear searched the shore but could not find him. They came to the navy to ask about the situation.
The two of them saw Su MO and Su Xiaoxiao the moment they arrived.
“Is Su Xuan alright?” Ghostfear asked.
He did not ask about Zongzheng Ming’s life or death first, but he was concerned about Su Xuan’s safety.
Su MO liked to interact with the Wei family because the Wei family valued friendship.
Revenge was important, but family and friends were more important.
Su MO said, “He killed Zongzheng Ming and was injured. Continue looking for Wei Ting.”
Wei Chen cared about his brother, so he naturally had to care about Wei Ting.
“A helmet was salvaged underwater.”
As soon as Su MO finished speaking, another navy member surfaced. “Young
Master! We found half an armor!”
The few of them checked the armor and found a hole that had been pierced through the crack on the back.
Ghostfear said, “Little Seven was shot.’
Ordinary arrows could not pierce through the armor, but if Little Seven was hit by the Ghost Shadow Guards until his armor broke, it would be different.
The crack on it happened to confirm his guess.
Su MO said, “In that case, the possibility of Wei Ting falling into the waterfall is very high.”
At the thought that Little Seven was injured and still had to plunge from such a high waterfall, the brothers’ expressions turned very ugly.
Below the waterfall was a deep pool.
The Su family navy fished out a military boot and a few armor plates from the east side of the deep pool.
The armor pieces were all cracked.
The two brothers’ hearts tightened. They really did not know how Little Seven would fall.
Su Xiaoxiao also frowned.
The navy continued to salvage underwater while the Black-armored Guards searched along the east bank.
The navy searched the bottom of the pool but did not find Wei Ting.
The few of them heaved a sigh of relief.
A few hours passed. If they really found him in the water, it could only be a corpse.
It was good news that there was no one underwater.
Suddenly, a Black-armored Guard discovered another military boot in the grass.
This was part of a pair, together with the one fished out of the water.
Wei Liulang’s eyes lit up. He hugged his boots and said excitedly, “Could it be that Little Seven has come ashore?”
Although the boots were found on the east bank, for the sake of caution, Ghostfear still divided the Black-armored Guards into a few groups and searched everywhere.
The four of them also split up.
Ghostfear went east, Wei Liulang and the Saintess went west, and Su Xiaoxiao and Su MO went north.
To the south was the direction of the waterfall. It had already been searched.
The sky gradually darkened, and the forest became quiet. The night wind also brought a hint of coldness.
Wei Ting disappeared at dawn. An entire day had passed.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned even more.
In order to comfort his sister, Su MO praised Wei Ting for once. “That guy is very smart. Since he’s ashore, he will think of a way to survive.”
While Su Xiaoxiao and the others were searching for Wei Ting, Wuhu and his small army were not idle, especially the Saintess’ falcon.
In terms of fighting, it was inferior to the golden eagle. In terms of acting skills, it was inferior to Wuhu. When it came to searching, however, they could not compare to it.
After all, it had been specially trained by the Saintess.
With a loud cry, the falcon circled back.
Wuhu communicated with it in eagle language and immediately flew towards Su Xiaoxiao.
Its small wings flapped until smoke came out. “Found him! Found him! Found him..”
