Su Li walked up to Wei Xu. “Dad, what’s wrong?”
Now, he could even call Wei Xu father.
Su Yuan, who was far away in the capital, was itching to fight.
Wei Xu felt a sharp pain in his heart. The meridians in his body were reversing, and cold sweat the size of beans flowed down his forehead. It was obvious that he was enduring extreme pain.
Su Li panicked. “Dad, Dad, don’t scare me!’
Aiya, that girl had left again. What should he do?
“What happened?” Mei Ji and Princess Hui An walked out.
The person who asked was Mei Ji.
Princess Hui An glanced at Wei Xu and said worriedly, “General Wei Xu seems to be very uncomfortable. Is he having a relapse?”
“Maybe…?” Su Li did not know about Gu, so he could only regard this as Wei Xu’s injuries acting up.
“I have medicine here!” Mei Ji took out a small porcelain bottle from her pouch.
Su Li took a look and sighed. “Wei Qing and the others have already tried this. It’s not for my father.”
Princess Hui An was speechless. Did you address Wei Xu as his father so smoothly?
Wei Xu’s breathing gradually became heavy. He placed his hand on the tree trunk at the side for support.
With a sizzle, the tree turned black.
Mei Ji shouted, “It’s poisonous! Su Li, dodge!”
‘Yes?”
Su Li pulled Wei Xu aside.
Mei Ji gritted her teeth. “I mean he’s poisonous!”
Su Li was stunned.
Wei Xu shook Su Li off with one arm and jumped onto the roof.
“Mei Ji, take care of Princess Hui An!”
Su Li chased after him with his qinggong.
Su Li was too naughty. He was the only one in the family who kept getting beaten up. Whether his martial arts were strong or not was another matter. At the very least, his qinggong was not bad. Otherwise, he would have been caught and beaten to death.
However, even so, it was still too difficult for him to chase after Wei Xu.
“Dad, wait for me!” “Don’t you want me anymore?” “I’m your favorite youngest son!”
Wei Xu did not stop.
Su Li’s face darkened. Wei Ting, look, you’re not useful!
Just as Su Li was about to lose him, Wei Xu suddenly stopped moving.
He stood on a roof like a statue.
Su Li came behind him and bent his body. He held his knees with both hands and panted heavily. “Dad… It’s the middle of the night… Can we stop running? You didn’t sleep… Why did you sleepwalk?”
After living in Changliu Alley for a few days, Su Li naturally knew about Wei Xu’s sleepwalking problem.
It was said that it did not exist in the past.
It was probably a side effect of taking the medicine from the Holy Maiden Temple.
Wei Xu said nothing.
After Su Li recovered, he said to Wei Xu, “Can we go back?”
Before Wei Xu could answer, Su Li suddenly sensed an extremely dangerous aura coming from all directions.
As expected, in the next second, a few darts shot over.
Wei Xu still did not move.
Su Li pulled Wei Xu to the roof and dodged a wave of hidden weapons.
However, the danger was not over. On the contrary, it had just begun.
A wave of assassins in night clothes rushed towards the two of them.
These people were obviously not the puppet masters from the Holy Maiden Temple that he had encountered previously, but their movement techniques were also extremely strange as if they had been stripped from the night. Su Li only noticed them when they were close.
Su Li gave it a cursory glance. There were at least a dozen.
“Dad, I can’t beat so many…”
Wei Xu seemed to be frozen and ignored the voices around him.
The men in black surrounded Su Li and Wei Xu.
“I can’t escape. I can only go all out! Most importantly, I didn’t bring any weapons…”
Su Li guarded Wei Xu with his bare hands.
There was no pity in the eyes of the men in black as they surrounded the two of them.
It was obvious how difficult it was for Su Li to protect himself and Wei Xu from more than ten assassins.
Not long after, he was stabbed in the shoulder.
He did not retreat. Instead, he took the opportunity to snatch the other party’s sword.
“Dad! Wake up!”
There were too many assassins, and Su Li was about to collapse.
A man in black broke through Su Li’s defense and stabbed Wei Xu in the back.
Su Li’s sword was blocked by two other men in black.
He resolutely abandoned his sword and stepped forward, protecting Wei Xu with his body.
Clang!
The sword that was stabbing at his chest was shaken away by a terrifying sword qi.
A man in white wearing a jade mask descended from the sky and stood in front of Su Li and Wei Xu.
Su Li mustered her courage and opened his eyes. When he took a look, his eyes lit up. “Fourth Brother?!”
“Shut up.”
Su Xuan said.
The few men in black were blasted away by his sword qi and were shocked to the extreme.
“Who are you?”
The leader of the men in black asked.
Su Xuan did not waste his breath on him. With a slash of his long sword, boundless internal strength mixed with cold sword qi seemed to echo in the sky.
Everyone felt their scalps tingle.
The leader of the men in black tried to catch Su Xuan’s sword, but in just a moment, his sword was cut and he was sent flying.
“Boss! ”
Everyone’s expression changed.
The leader of the men in black did a backflip to stabilize himself. He raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. “I’m fine. This kid is a little troublesome. Everyone, be careful!”
Su Li looked at Su Xuan’s back and said, “These people are not from the Holy
Maiden Temple, but they seem to be here to kill Wei Xu!”
Su Xuan did not turn around. He threw a bottle at Su Li. “Stop the bleeding yourself.”
Su Li caught the medicine bottle steadily, bit off the stopper, and scattered the blood-staunching elixir on the wound on her left shoulder.
“Hiss—it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!”
Su Li was in so much pain.
There were more than ten experts, and every one of them was not weak.
Moreover, they were skilled in assassination. They split into three groups. One attacked Su Xuan from both sides, and the other ambushed Wei Xu and Su Li.
Su Li was an injured person, and Wei Xu had been stunned again.
The situation became very disadvantageous.
To make matters worse, five more assassins in black came from the east.
Su Li said, “No way? It wasn’t easy for my fourth brother to block more than ten of them. Not another group?”
Su Xuan stabbed a black-clothed assassin and killed another.
The leader of the men in black was stunned.
Their martial arts were on par with the puppet experts of the Holy Maiden Temple.
Who was this person?
In just dozens of moves, he had already killed five of his brothers!
“Ahhh! Don’t come over!” Su Li shouted.
Not good, Little Five!
Su Xuan was distracted.
A man in black took the opportunity to step forward.
Su Xuan reversed his sword and pierced through the man in black’s spleen.
The man in black never dreamed that the other party could still hit him under such circumstances.
Su Li could not defeat his attacker with Wei Xu on his back, so he could only dodge.
“Aiya!”
“Phew!”
The five of them surrounded Su Li, not giving him a chance to escape.
No sooner said than done, a few leaves sped over like blades and shot toward the throats of the attackers.
Seeing that the situation was bad, the five of them could only retract their killing moves.
However, one of them was still hit. He covered his bleeding throat and fell to the ground trembling.
Su Li looked at him and then at the other four leaves inserted into the tiles. He felt a chill run down his spine. “No way. Which expert is this?”
He took another look.
It was Wei Ting.
After Wei Ting sent Su Xiaoxiao back to the Cheng family, he immediately went to pick Wei Xu up.
After being told that Wei Xu had suddenly gone southeast, he chased after him.
A falcon circled past high in the sky and let out a sharp whistle.
Wei Ting looked up and frowned.. “It’s the Saintess’ Falcon! The Saintess is coming soon!”
