Chapter 473 Flying General's Soul-Stealing Technique 11
Upon seeing this, Ren Yinyin and Shi Shaojian exchanged a glance, but neither of them spoke or made any move to stop it.
Donglong was an extremely intelligent man, adept at assessing situations. Under these circumstances, there was no way he would help Axiu. After all, his own life was the most important thing.
When Ah Xiu saw Dong Long appear, a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.
Overjoyed, she immediately pointed to her father on the altar and pleaded with Donglong, "Please, please save my father!"
However, Donglong slowly shook his head, a troubled expression on his face. He then helplessly spread his hands and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I'm powerless to do so! I can't interfere in this battle between primordial spirits!"
Ah Xiu refused to give up, "You're a genie, how could you not do it?"
Donglong glanced at the sky and sighed, "If I were truly a god, why would I obey human commands?"
He has lived for hundreds of years and has seen many people, of all social statuses, men and women, young and old. Whoever gets him will be overjoyed!
Finally, he fell into the hands of Empress Dowager Cixi.
Empress Dowager Cixi demanded that he expel the foreign enemies, but he couldn't do it!
Empress Dowager Cixi demanded that he continue the imperial lineage and bring prosperity to the nation, but he still couldn't do it!
Afterwards, Empress Dowager Cixi realized that the tide had turned and there was no way to reverse it!
Therefore, he was taken by Empress Dowager Cixi as a burial object!
Spending decades in the tomb is also the most relaxing time for Donglongcha!
Donglong suddenly felt disheartened. Humans are never satisfied with their greed!
"Change your wish!"
"Save my father's life!" Ah Xiu understood, tears welling in her eyes as she pleaded.
"Alright!" I'll let it go because of your filial piety!
Donglong wiped his eyes and glanced at Ren Yinyin and Shi Shaojian out of the corner of his eye. Neither of them seemed to be stopping their conversation.
Under the watchful eyes of the three people and the genie, the magic circle suddenly trembled, and Mao Xiaofang opened his eyes, clutching his chest.
He looked exhausted and even had difficulty standing up.
Ren Yinyin and Shi Shaojian quickly stepped forward to help him up, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
If my uncle is alright, then all is well!
"Your father isn't dead!" Donglong said, disappearing into the lamplight amidst the smoke.
"Father!" Ah Xiu's anxious mood eased.
"Haha, Mao Xiaofang, I'm going to kill you!" With a shout, a figure leaped down from the altar.
The figure staggered and fell to the ground. Ah Xiu rushed over and cried out anxiously, "Father!"
Under the moonlight, the figure's face was revealed.
With a frenzied expression and wildly gesturing, it was none other than Lei Gang!
"Huh? What's going on, Uncle-Master?"
"His power has been broken, and he's now a cripple!" Mao Xiaofang said in a low and dejected tone.
"Uncle-Master, you are seriously injured. Let's go back!" Ren Yinyin said worriedly.
"Okay, go back!"
The three turned and left. Behind them, Lei Gang ran wildly into the distance, while Ah Xiu chased after him, shouting as she went.
"father!"
……
Gantian Town has returned to its former hustle and bustle, with people coming and going in the streets and alleys.
Inside the Fuxi Hall, Achu and Xiaohai held drastically different views on Lei Gang's fate.
Ah Chu cursed angrily, "Serves him right! This wicked man has finally gotten what he deserved! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have suffered so much!"
Achu's body still aches faintly, a lingering effect of the torment she suffered at the hands of Lei Gang.
The thought of his suffering ignited his anger like a powder keg, causing it to explode instantly.
However, Xiao Hai's mind was not on Lei Gang at all.
He thought worriedly about Ah Xiu, a frail girl, alone in the wilderness without food or water. What was even more terrifying was that if she encountered a bad person with malicious intentions, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Xiao Hai frowned deeply, his face full of worry. He silently prayed that Ah Xiu would be safe and sound.
……
That day, Wangcai ran to Fuxi Hall and gestured as if he wanted to say something, but he had some mental problems and couldn't speak. He could only anxiously pull Xiaohai away.
Xiao Hai has things to do, so how could he go fooling around with Wang Cai?
He pulled Wangcai's hand away, "Wangcai, I'm busy, go play somewhere else!"
Ren Yinyin walked from the backyard to the front hall and saw this scene, which stirred something in her heart.
Ah Xiu and Wang Cai are very close. Wang Cai's sudden arrival at the Taoist temple... could it be...?
"Is something wrong with Ah Xiu?" Ren Yinyin asked.
Wangcai nodded vigorously, "Axiu...burn..."
The more anxious he became, the less he could speak, and he could only reach out to pull Xiao Hai.
"Ah Xiu is in trouble!" Xiao Hai realized what was happening, his heart skipped a beat, he threw down the rag in his hand, and grabbed Wang Cai as they ran outside.
Ren Yinyin took two steps, thought for a moment, and then stopped.
"Sigh!" I wonder if Ah Xiu will be even angrier if she sees her!
"Yinyin," Shi Shaojian said with a smile, taking Ren Yinyin's hand, "Let's go to the teahouse for breakfast!"
Ren Yinyin nodded. Speaking of which, this teahouse is her favorite place in Gantian Town!
The breakfast selection is extensive and the taste is very authentic.
The two arrived at the teahouse and found a seat by the window.
"Oh? Miss Ren, you've come for breakfast?" Si Xi greeted Ren Yinyin with a smile as he walked over.
"Yes, Sixi, good morning!" Ren Yinyin replied with a smile.
"A basket of char siu bao, a basket of shrimp siu mai... plus two bowls of congee with preserved egg and lean pork."
Shi Shaojian skillfully ordered several signature breakfast items, and Sixi smiled and agreed, then turned to go to the kitchen to place the order.
Soon, the steaming hot food was served.
Ren Yinyin was enjoying her meal when she suddenly saw Xiao Hai carrying A Xiu on his back rushing past the window. A Xiu's face was pale and her forehead was covered in sweat.
Ren Yinyin's heart tightened, and she put down her chopsticks to chase after him.
Shi Shaojian quickly stopped her, "Don't rush, let's finish eating first and then go check the situation."
"No, I'm worried about Ah Xiu!" Ren Yin stood up and was about to leave.
Helpless, Shi Shaojian called Sixi over to pack up the goods and collect the money.
……
Fuxi Hall
Ah Xiu was lying on the bed, and Mao Xiaofang was treating her.
Mao Xiaofang frowned, then slowly relaxed, "He was knocked unconscious by the smoke, but he's fine!"
He stood up and instructed his apprentice, "Xiao Hai, go to the kitchen and brew some medicine for A Xiu!"
Just then, Ah Xiu woke up and saw the familiar faces. She shrank to the corner of the bed and watched them warily.
"Ah Xiu, you're injured. I'll ask Ah Hai to make you some medicine!" Mao Xiaofang said gently as he looked at Ah Xiu.
"Don't worry about anything, just stay at Fuxi Hall!"
Ren Yinyin heard Ah Xiu's stomach growling, took the char siu buns that Shi Shaojian had packed from his hand, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said gently to Ah Xiu, "Ah Xiu, are you hungry? Come and eat something!"
Ah Xiu's lips trembled slightly, then she lowered her head, not daring to look at Ren Yinyin, "I need to find my father..."
"Ah Xiu, I understand that you want to go find your father, but you need to heal your injuries first!" Mao Xiaofang said with a worried expression.
Ren Yinyin looked at Ah Xiu's arms and legs covered in scrapes and her dusty little face, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.
“I don’t know where my master has gone. If you go out like this now, you’ll never find him. It’s better to stay here and wait until your injuries heal before you go to find your father,” Ren Yinyin advised softly.
Upon hearing this, Ah Xiu hesitated, biting her lip tightly, her eyes filled with struggle.
