Chapter 922: Chapter 922: Treatment! Wrecking Scums (1)

He did not leave either Xi Jiang or Mo Chuxing behind. Holding Mo Chuxing in front and carrying Xi Jiang on his back, he protected them both well.

The man’s steps and posture remained unaffected, moving effortlessly through the increasingly dangerous barrage of hidden weapons.

Si Fuqing picked up Mo Chuxing’s kite and followed behind Yu Xiheng, matching his path.

He was calm, but she could sense the deep, still intensity radiating from him.

This was Si Fuqing’s first time inside the Mo family’s Mechanism City.

The mechanisms were interlinked, and the patterns of the hidden weapons constantly changed, requiring the memorization of thousands of rules.

No wonder it was called a place of misinterpretation.

Scattered across the ground were numerous white bones, with grinning skulls staring lifelessly ahead.

Mo Chuxing, protected well by Xi Jiang, had only minor scrapes on his arm, but his spirit was severely traumatized.

Seeing the long-decomposed corpses, he began to struggle in distress.

Si Fuqing raised a hand to cover his eyes. “Don’t be afraid.”

Mo Chuxing clung tightly to Yu Xiheng’s neck, his body trembling slightly.

Despite his talent for hidden weapons, he was still a child under ten.

In the Mechanism City, he had seen too many skeletons and come too close to death. If Yu Xiheng had arrived even a second later, he would have died.

Even though Mo Chuxing was largely closed off to the outside world, he still had a concept of death.

Yu Xiheng’s body paused for a moment before he gently patted the boy’s back. “It’s okay now.”

Mo Chuxing trembled again.

Those three simple words carried a powerful sense of security, miraculously calming him down.

It wasn’t until he could no longer hear the sound of hidden blades that he opened his eyes.

The last rays of sunset dipped below the horizon, and the sky turned completely dark.

The second elder was still anxiously waiting outside, repeatedly urging the guard captain to call Mo Chuyi back.

“Second elder, they’re out!” The guard captain exclaimed in surprise. “They made it out!”

Someone had actually survived the Mo family’s Mechanism City!

The second elder’s expression changed drastically. Seeing the little boy in Yu Xiheng’s arms, he cried out, “Little Xing is in there too?!”

Since developing aphasia, Mo Chuxing had become increasingly reclusive, often locking himself in his room.

He had been getting better lately for unknown reasons, but mostly stayed at home. How did he end up in the Mechanism City?

“Sir, thank you for saving Chuxing and Xi Jiang,” the second elder hastily bowed. “May I ask who you are—”

“I’m taking them with me,” Yu Xiheng’s tone was indifferent. “Tell them to come see me when they come out of seclusion.”

The second elder was stunned. It wasn’t until Yu Xiheng had walked away with Xi Jiang and Mo Chuxing that he realized he was referring to Mo Yanwen and the great elder.

The second elder vaguely knew they were working on something significant.

But that man…

The second elder’s eyes darkened. “Did you find out what happened?”

“Reporting to the second elder, the little young master’s kite fell into the Mechanism City,” the guard captain said. “Mr. Xi Jiang went in to save him, and both got trapped.”

“A kite?” The second elder frowned. “Why would a kite fall into the eastern gate? It’s a northwest wind today.”

The guard captain’s expression turned serious. “Second elder, do you mean someone tampered with it?”

“Definitely,” the second elder sneered. “Investigate it further!”

The guard captain, receiving the order, hurried off to handle the matter.

Meanwhile, Yu Xiheng brought Xi Jiang and Mo Chuxing back, laying them on separate beds.

“Brother Nine, Miss Si!” Feng San exclaimed upon seeing the bloodied figures. “His… his injuries…”

“Severe,” Si Fuqing frowned. “Some hidden weapons were poisoned. I didn’t expect the toxins to last this long.”

The Miracle Doctor Alliance was skilled in medicine, but the Mo family excelled in poisons.

Unfortunately, the core texts on poisons were lost in a fire three hundred years ago.

Feng San turned pale. “Miss Si, can you cure him?”

“I can,” Si Fuqing said. “I need medicinal herbs. I’ll protect his heart meridian first. Chen Ying, go into ‘Eternity’ to fetch the herbs I need.”

She had given Xi Jiang and Feng San accounts for ‘Eternity’ and upgraded Chen Ying’s account to level four.

Chen Ying followed Si Fuqing’s instructions to fetch the herbs.

Yu Xiheng took a towel and carefully wiped the blood from Xi Jiang’s body.
