Just as the concealed weapon was about to pierce Tiger Might’s body, a loud “clang” rang out in the nick of time. That concealed weapon was sent askew by a flying stone.
Yu Tong’s face turned icy. He turned around and saw a long spear stabbing in his direction. He got a shock. What a strong killing intent!
He dodged swiftly backward, but the other party’s murderous aura was too strong. Even though he dodged, the strong tailwind from the spear still slit across his face.
The sharp pain on his face only made Yu Tong even more malicious. “You’re looking for death!”
He pulled out the two sabers at his waist and attacked the spear.
Xiao Jin’s dark eyes were filled with killing intent. He leaped off his horse and started fighting with Yu Tong.
He deployed the long spear in his hand with impressive mastery. Every move carried a decisive, lethal, and bloodthirsty aura that kept forcing Yu Tong to retreat.
Yu Tong stared at Xiao Jin in shock. When did such an expert whom he was unaware of appear in the Tiger Base? They had just gotten rid of Su Ying, yet now, here was another one!
“No matter how powerful you are, you will all die today!” Yu Tong roared, and the Azure Dragon Base members attacked Xiao Jin one after another.
Xiao Jin’s long spear swept out with the might of a thousand troops, making it impossible for those people to get close to him.
Yu Tong gritted his teeth and stepped forward again. However, after only a few dozen moves, Xiao Jin’s spear directly pierced through his heart.
Even until his death, he did not know who was the nemesis that took his life.
When the other commanders saw that an expert had suddenly joined the Tiger Base’s ranks, they all rushed to encircle Xiao Jin.
While the melee battle was going on, Su Ying was sleeping exceptionally soundly.
It wasn’t until the aromatic fragrance of the dough bits soup wafted out of the pot that she woke up from her sleep.
“Oh, it’s time to eat.”
Bai Shuang was about to wake Su Ying up when she saw Su Ying sitting up on the bed with her eyes half-closed.
“Mistress, you are awake. The food is ready. Mistress, get up quickly and eat something. You can sleep again after having your meal.”
Su Ying shook her head to clear her mind. “Mm-hmm. Let’s eat.”
She stood up, walked out, and sat down at the dining table straightaway.
Everyone was already very hungry, but inexplicably, when Su Ying appeared, they subconsciously looked at her. They just wanted to look at her. Even when she was wolfing down her food without table manners, they still felt that she looked very beautiful!
Su Ying only realized that Xiao Jin wasn’t around after taking two bites.
“Where’s Xiao Jin?”
The rest thought of what Xiao Jin had instructed them before he left. They exchanged glances before saying, “Master was worried about the condition of the slope, so he went out to check again.”
The eyes of Aunt Zhao and the others were so swollen that Su Ying didn’t even notice when they exchanged looks.
“It’s good to go and take a look. It’ll be troublesome if the fire is not put out completely and it starts burning again.” They were really lucky to be able to put out the fire so quickly this time. In the past, if a wildfire started burning a large area, it could continue burning for months.
After they were full, Su Ying asked Aunt Zhao and the rest to come to her room for her to check on their eyes.
“Your eyes are still a little inflamed, so they’re red and swollen. I’ll give you some eye drops later. Come back to me three times a day for the drops until they are better. But looking at your condition, the swelling should be substantially reduced by tomorrow after you get some drops tonight.”
Su Ying gave the excuse of going to the bathroom to get some medicine for Aunt Zhao and the rest. Although the burns on their hands and feet were not serious, the injury would affect their lives in the future if they were not treated in time.
“After you apply the medicine, don’t let it come into contact with water tonight. After you’ve done all your work tomorrow morning, come to me and apply the medicine again, understand?”
“I understand, I understand.”
Su Ying couldn’t fall asleep after treating their injuries, so she took a stool and sat down in the courtyard.
However, before her butt could warm up the stool, she heard a commotion outside the courtyard.
Su Ying opened the gate curiously and saw the people she had saved from the pit kneeling and kowtowing to her before the gate.
“What are you guys doing?”
“Madam, thank you so much for saving us. If it wasn’t for you, we would have died on that damned mountain slope.”
“That’s right, Madam. It’s all thanks to you. We really shouldn’t have been greedy, otherwise, we wouldn’t have encountered such a mishap.”
Su Ying looked at them in surprise. When she brought them into her interspatial store, she had already confirmed that they were all unconscious. How did they know that she was the one who saved them?
“How did you guys know that I saved you?”
Those people stood up and exchanged looks with one another. “You… you are Su Ying… Madam Su, correct?”
Su Ying nodded. “That’s me.”
“Then it’s undoubtedly you. Someone roused us and said that you saved us.
They asked us to come over and kowtow to you.”
“Who told you that?”
“It was a group of men. One was called Number One or something.”
Su Ying raised her eyebrows. So it was Number One and the others. “Where are they now?”
“Those people seemed to have received an order that the Azure Dragon Base’s people launched an attack. They wanted to deal with them, so they left.”
Su Ying frowned at once. “What did you say? Someone said that the Azure Dragon Base launched an attack?”
“Yes, yes. They’ve already left.”
Su Ying pursed her lips. “Alright. You guys can go back.”
Those people kowtowed to Su Ying a few more times before leaving.
Su Ying returned to the courtyard and glared at Zhao Neng, who was avoiding her gaze. “Zhao Neng, where’s your Master?”
Zhao Neng’s eyes darted around, but he didn’t dare to look Su Ying in the eye. “He… he went to the slope.”
“Zhao Neng, those who lie will get beaten up.” Su Ying waved her fist in front of his eyes.
Zhao Neng swallowed nervously with difficulty and said, “Mistress… Mistress, please don’t make things difficult for me.”
“Did Xiao Jin go to the Tiger Base?”
Zhao Neng lowered his head and didn’t say anything.
“Idiot! His legs have just recovered. If something goes wrong, I’ll make you regret it. You’d better stand guard here and lock the gate!” Su Ying said and dashed out of the courtyard without looking back.
Zhao Neng looked at Su Ying’s departing back profile and sighed helplessly. He could only close the gate and accept his fate. As for whether the Master would beat him up when he returned, that would have to wait.
Su Ying did not have a horse, so she could only run to the Tiger Base on foot.
When she reached the Tiger Base, she saw Xiao Jin attacking with his spear in front of the warehouse, blocking the door.
Many members of the Azure Dragon Base were already lying on the ground, but the remaining members seemed to have made up their minds to fight the people from the Tiger Base to the death. They gritted their teeth and continued to attack furiously. However, Xiao Jin and the others were like a line of defense that couldn’t be breached. Every time they thought they were about to succeed, they would be forced back. If this continued, they would lose more and more people.
“Kill Tiger Might!” The fifth commander suddenly roared. If he couldn’t defeat Xiao Jin, he would attack Tiger Might, who was relatively easier to defeat.
When Tiger Might was dealing with them just now, he was already injured. If they attacked him again, he might not be able to hold on.
As he looked at the people who were rushing towards him, a trace of determination flashed across Tiger Might’s eyes.
However, at this moment, a sharp voice cut through the air.. “If you want to snatch our Tiger Base’s rations, you have to ask for permission from me, Su Ying, first!”
