âDamn it! I actually didnât think of it!â
As Gong Sunheng softly cursed, he blasted toward the group in an instant. The moment he took action, a few people were sent flying.
Lou Qianxue froze, then she chased up to him. âGongsun?â
âMy nephew is amidst those five!â
âHuh... â
So this is the reason!
No wonder Gong Sunheng begged for mercy for these people earlier.
After Lou Qianxue came back to her senses, she immediately flew forward. âHeaven And Earth Thorns!â
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Numerous rough and strong green branches forcefully emerged from the ground and sprouted out. They pierced the bodies of the men clad in black without any warning.
Pitiful cries reverberated in the air.
When Fang Wenyang, who was on his last legs and looked desperate, saw the furious Gong Sunheng, he paused. He then looked at Lou Qianxue in astonishment...
Lou Qianxue flew up and stood on one of the branches. With the Wu Jin Meteorite Iron in her hand, she coldly roared, âMystic Spirit Ice Crystals!â
Cha! Cha! Cha!
Snow-white transparent ice crystals swiftly spread from the tip of her sword to the surroundings. The crystals froze the branches and the people these branches had pierced.
âDonât bother about these people. Take a look at your nephew first.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âItâs you!â Cough! Cough! âYou are... that Lou Qianxue!â Cough! âAnd youâre that person who begged for mercy for us!â Fang Wenyang exclaimed in shock as he came back to his senses.
Gong Sunheng flew in front of a âcorpseâ and checked the corpseâs breath. His eyes suddenly lit up. â Little fifth is still breathing! Heâs alive!â
Fang Wenyang strode over. âIt canât be? Fifth Highnessâs heart has been pierced through. How can he still be alive!â
âHis heart is different from normal people. Heâs born with his heart on the right side!â After Gong Sunheng finished speaking, he immediately took out a pill from his arms and fed it to Fifth prince.
While they were talking, Lou Qianxue swiftly acted using the Wu Jin Meteorite Iron, which transformed into something like the sharpest sword in the world. She quickly took the lives of the frozen people.
âI really didnât expect that I would actually save them. Sister Xiaoxiao was worried about them taking revenge on us.â
âMiss Lou!â Fang Wenyang, who had been at a dead end, was extremely grateful. âWe wonât! You and Master Gong Sunheng are our saviors. Weâll take revenge on anyone else except you!â
Upon hearing this, Gong Sunheng frowned and said, âHold on. Iâll write a letter to Little Fifth. Give him the letter when he wakes up.â
Little Fifth? Is he referring to Fifth Prince?
Fang Wenyang suddenly opened his eyes wide and doubtfully glanced at Gong Sunheng. Thereafter, he respectfully nodded. âYes, Master Gong Sunheng.â
As Gong Sunheng went aside to write the letter, Lou Qianxue sized up Fang Wenyang and Fifth Prince. âBased on how you two look, I reckon that you wonât be able to leave Fengyang prefecture.â
As Fang Wenyang thought of the assassination he had just faced, his expression became sullen. âRegardless of what happens, Iâll definitely kill my way back to the Imperial City!â
âPerhaps, you can change your thinking and not go back this way.â
âWhat does Miss Lou mean?â
âDisguise yourself.â
Upon hearing this, Fang Wenyangâs eyes suddenly lit up. âRight! Why didnât I think of it! As long as they canât recognize us, they naturally wonât be able to kill us. Miss Lou, thank you for the suggestion.â
Lou Qianxue shook her head. She was only doing this for Gong Sunheng.
Shortly after Gong Sunheng finished writing the letter, he personally helped Fifth Prince and Fang Wenyang disguise themselves. He then sent them off. âIf not for that matter that canât be delayed any further, I wouldâve personally sent them back.â
âI didnât expect Master Gong Sunheng to be such a good uncle.â
Gong Sunheng glanced at Lou Qianxue. âIn this world, besides alchemy, I care about relationships the most. Youâre my friend. Hence, for me, youâre comparable to him. If you meet with difficulties one day, Iâll also save you without any hesitation.â
His reply left Lou Qianxue frozen for a while, then she smiled. âThen, Iâll thank you first, Master Gong Sunheng. Should we continue on our journey?â
