The battle ended very quickly.
However, Tong Hui and Tong Zhuo still managed to retreat unscathed.
While tidying up the battlefield, the leader of the third party came to my little uncle and gave him a standard military salute. âMaster Si, sorry for the disturbance. Our mission is to capture Tong Hui and Tong Zhuo. Weâll be taking our leave first.â With everyone watching, the entire team left. They had a strict military disciple. They didnât even look at us from the corner of their eyes.
My little uncle poked Qu Hao. âDid your father do this?â
Qu Hao smiled wryly. âDonât be silly. Donât you know what my fatherâs occupation is? I would know if heâs trained such a group of people. Plus, theyâre respectful to you. I thought they were your secret weapon.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
My little uncle smiled sadly too. âWhat secret weapon? Iâve lost almost all of them in the past few years. Who are these people? Never mind. Weâll thank them properly when we meet them next time.â
They checked Jing Tianâs injuries and were surprised by the effect of Phoenix Blood. We hurried back home, leaving the mess for Gu Nian to clean up.
At this point, the Seven Brothers were clearly divided, and their positions were clear.
I couldnât help but admire the neutral Gu Nian, who had withstood the pressure from both sides and maintained his own position.
No matter what, he was a brave warrior who had the courage to stick to his own guns.
Back home, Vincent and Daisy kowtowed to me with tears in their eyes. They never imagined that Iâd try so hard to save them. They were just servants. I didnât care about the vice presidents, but I was willing to risk my life for them. They swore to be more devoted to their job. They would exchange their sincerity for mine.
Mai Qi and Jing Ni hugged me tightly. They were my most precious friends and my family in this life. Nothing comforted me more than their safety.
Jing Tianâs injuries healed miraculously, but he was still a little weak.
He told everyone about our experiences.
âThat kind of illusionary technique is indeed superb. I once did a simulation with Tong Le, and the inspiration came from a wuxia novel. It trapped people inside and made them think that they had become smaller, causing them to panic. Tong Zhuoâs fake boat was similar. When I saw the scenery outside the window, I immediately thought of our simulation. However, I was trapped in the loop of trying to find the exit that I forgot about everything else. This Tong Zhuo must be a very boring person! The whole thing was like a joke.â Jing Tian said in a frustrated tone. He was frustrated that he had taken so long to get out.
Qu Hao patted Jing Tianâs shoulder. âO well. God has arrangements for everything. If you had exited earlier, you wouldnât have overpowered the enemies since none of your allies had arrived yet. This is already the best outcome. Itâs a pity that Tong Hui and his son ran away again.â
My Little Uncle remained silent.
I stretched out my finger and tugged at my little uncleâs clothes. âMy Phoenix Blood is really useful. Little Uncle, are you injured? I can heal you.â
I was serious.
My Little Uncle glanced at me. I could clearly see that his eyes were slightly red. He turned his head away and said, âI donât have any injuries that require the Phoenix blood. Donât you dare recklessly waste the Phoenix Blood!â
My nose couldnât help but turn sour. âI wonât waste it, but I will use Phoenix Blood to save people and cure diseases. Little uncle, that way, the Phoenix Blood wonât be wasted. My parents were wrong. They shouldnât try to seal up the Phoenix Blood. If we were to openly step forward and admit this to the people, perhaps my first uncle and the others wouldnât be so crazy, and my parents wouldnât have to die.â
