the few of them went to kill king nanyang. su li wanted to go too, but su xiaoxiao stopped him.

su li straightened her back and said, “kid, go away. i have serious matters to attend to! i don’t have time to play with you!”

su xiaoxiao crossed her arms and looked at him suspiciously. “did you see it, or did wuhu?”

su li said without changing his expression, “i saw it all. i saw it first!”

he even snatched the credit of a bird. he was not human… su xiaoxiao asked,

“why did you bring wuhu to the south of the city?”

su li raised his eyebrows and said, “buying bird food.”

su xiaoxiao hit the nail on the head. “you don’t like to feed birds.”

su li opened his mouth, wanting to deny it, but he felt that he probably couldn’t lie. “fourth brother pulled me there. he said that there’s a new bird market in the south of the city. there are berries shipped from northern yan.

wuhu will like them, so the two of us brought wuhu there.”

not only did wuhu learn to forage at su xiaoxiao’s place, but it also flew back to the su family from time to time to be fed. su xuan and matriarch su fed him the most.

“fourth cousin…” su xiaoxiao was deep in thought.

su li waved his hand. “i’m not talking to you anymore. i’m going to kill that guy!’

su xiaoxiao said calmly, “with your lousy skills, you shouldn’t be in a hurry to die.”

“hey, who are you looking down on? at least i have dilettantish, middling skills. do you? you don’t even know qinggong—”

before he could finish, su xiaoxiao turned around and jumped onto the tree in the courtyard.

su li was dumbfounded.

no way. when did this girl learn qinggong?

she had clearly smashed all the men in the three residences recently. even he had been used as a human cushion by his brother…

su xiaoxiao jumped onto another tree and raised her eyebrows at su li. “how is it? my qinggong isn’t bad, right?”

she had only learned it for a few days, but she had already learned it. how crazy was this girl?

su li would never admit that he had not learned qinggong as quickly as su xiaoxiao.

“tsk, so what?” su li turned his face away.

the three little ones ran over. just now, they had seen their mother flying around from afar. their mother was so powerful!

the three of them jumped up excitedly.

“again! again!”

“alright! watch!” su xiaoxiao smiled and aimed at the roof opposite. she jumped up!

duang!

she hit the side of the roof at the waist and scrabbled a few times. she didn’t grab anything and fell.

su li was speechless.

and so were the three little ones.

su xiaoxiao lay facedown on the grass, unable to dig.

she endured the stiffness of her body falling apart and gritted her teeth to threaten, “this, this doesn’t count… forget it all!”

su xiaoxiao’s qinggong was at the stage where it was sometimes effective and sometimes not. after hitting the wall countless times, she finally successfully ascended… uh, no, flew.

the three little ones clapped especially supportively.

“mother is so awesome! mother is so awesome!”

su li could not bear to watch.

however, when he thought about the time he just learned qinggong, he seemed to be in a worse state than this girl. he had lost two front teeth.. fortunately, they were milk teeth.

su li pretended to say, “it’s far inferior to mine back then.”

su xiaoxiao muttered to herself, “will you die if you don’t posture?”

after the three little ones fell asleep, su xiaoxiao escorted su li back to the marquis of zhenbei’s estate. yes, she did. otherwise, this kid would definitely have gone to fight.

su xuan seemed to be still reading at night. his tall figure and aura were like bamboo, making him look like a peerless young master.

su xiaoxiao pulled su li into the house. “fourth cousin, i’ll leave him to you. keep an eye on him and don’t let him go out to fight.”

su xuan smiled. “okay.”

su li snorted and muttered softly, “it would be strange if fourth brother could keep an eye on me.”

su xuan called a team of guards over who surrounded the courtyard.

su li was speechless.

su xiaoxiao said, “fourth cousin, i have something to talk to you about.”

su xuan put down his book and came to the courtyard with su xiaoxiao.

it was late at night, and the residence was quiet.

the moonlight flowed quietly, leaving a clear glow in the courtyard.

su xiaoxiao went straight to the point. “fourth cousin specially brought wuhu to the black market in the south of the city today, right? fourth cousin knows that king nanyang is hiding in that area, so you asked wuhu to find him.” su xuan smiled without saying anything.

su xiaoxiao didn’t ask how he knew. everyone had their own secrets. if he didn’t want to tell her, it was useless for her to ask.

she said bluntly, “how much does fourth cousin know about king nanyang(”

su xuan looked at the endless night. “he’s… a terrifying person.”

he had used the word terrifying.

after knowing him for so long, this was the first time su xiaoxiao had heard him describe an opponent like this.

“does he have any weaknesses?” su xiaoxiao asked.

the weakness of sacrificial soldiers was their weakness after exhaustion. a ten-year-old child could easily kill them. for example, when they cast gu, they could not practice martial arts and their bodies were weaker than ordinary people. once they lost the gu, they would be lambs to be slaughtered.

su xiaoxiao had always believed that everything in the world had its weakness. as long as she found king nanyang’s weakness, she could easily kill him.

su xuan said softly, “he has no weakness.”

su xiaoxiao was stunned. “how…

su xuan looked at the tree in front of him and said, “he’s not afraid of the gu, and no one can poison him, because no one can get close to him. he’s like this tree in the courtyard. the tree trunk and crown you see are only the tip of the iceberg. the roots deeply embedded in the ground are longer and larger than the entire tree trunk and crown combined.”

to be able to obtain such a high evaluation from su xuan, king nanyang’s strength probably exceeded their imagination.

he originally thought that without the white lotus society and helian ye, king nanyang would lose his right-hand man. however, it seemed that he still had unknown trump cards.

su xiaoxiao asked, “does fourth cousin know what his trump card is?” su xuan shook his head.

su xiaoxiao understood and said, “fourth cousin, do you think the assassination tonight will succeed?”

wei ting and the others came to the vicinity of the black market in the south of the city. this place originally sold antiques. there was a mix of truth and falsehood. later on, there were gradually people doing other businesses.

wei liulang and ghostfear were wearing masks, but wei ting and su mo were not.

it was getting late. the stalls on the other streets closed one after another, but the business of the black market seemed to have just begun. it was noisy and lively.

the four of them found an inn and paid some money to hand the four horses to the servant to feed.

wei ting said to the parrot on his shoulder, “wuhu, where is he?”

the male owner didn’t have any bird food. it was a little lazy and didn’t want to move.

wei ting took out a piece of bird food from his pocket. wuhu instantly transformed into the worker who was revived and flew towards the black market.

it flew into a brothel.

the beautifully dressed procuress welcomed them with a smile. “yo, look who’s here tonight. what handsome four young masters. girls, there are guests!”

the girls in light muslin swayed towards the four of them. unexpectedly, before they could touch a corner of their clothes, the four of them had already passed through the back door.

“what a spoilsport!”

everyone rolled their eyes and dispersed.

wei ting watched as wuhu continued to fly forward. the corners of his mouth twitched. “there are so many shops. do you have to go through a brothel?”

wuhu simply smirked, “men, i understand!”

wuhu flew into a courtyard hidden in the city.

they were here to kill tonight. there was no need to hide. the few of them rushed in without a word, but the courtyard was empty. there was no one.

ghostfear picked up the cold half cup of tea on the stone table. “the tea is cold. he’s long gone.”

wei liulang frowned. “oh no! it’s a diversion!”

when su xiaoxiao returned to the wei family, wei ting was not back yet. the house was silent and dark.

she closed the door and was about to turn on the light when she realized that someone was sitting in the chair..
