Shenxiao's face was solemn, and his hands holding the tea set tightened unconsciously. He already had a very bad premonition.

"Husband."

Bai Zhaoyue called out softly, but Shenxiao was immersed in his own thoughts and did not answer.

"Husband?"

Shenxiao then came back to his senses from his thoughts, looked at Bai Zhaoyue's worried eyes, and patted her hands to show that he was fine.

"Husband, you have to be well. I can't lose you."

The loving eyes softened Shenxiao's heart. He gently hugged Bai Zhaoyue and gently touched her belly.

"Ma'am, I'm fine."

"Come here, send Shen Yu down to investigate. Make sure you find any news about the young master."

"Yes."

"Where's the eldest lady?"

"General, the eldest lady is not feeling well and can't speak..." The maid next to her lowered her head, not daring to look directly into the eyes of Shenxiao, her voice trembling.

"That's all."

When Bai Zhaoyue heard what Shenxiao said, a cold look flashed in his eyes, but he smiled softly and gently held Shenxiao's hand.

"Husband, why did you call Ruo'er?"

"nothing."

"Are you doubting Ruo'er?"

Bai Zhaoyue immediately let go of Shenxiao's hand, stood up, and stared at Shenxiao, as if as long as Shenxiao said yes, she would turn hostile and leave.

Seeing Bai Zhaoyue like this, Shen Xiao was afraid that she would misunderstand, and hurriedly helped her sit down, fearing that the relationship that had been eased with great difficulty a few days ago would become strained again.

"Madam, I have absolutely no such intention. I am just worried about Ruo'er's safety and asked her not to go out these few days."

"It's best if you think so. If you think it was Ruo'er who did it, tell me as soon as possible. We mother and daughter should leave as soon as possible to avoid being an eyesore to you."

"Ma'am, why do you miss me so much?"

"Then why did you ask people to check Ruo'er's people today?"

Shenxiao looked a little ugly, but he still suppressed his anger and didn't show it.

"Madam, you're overthinking it. I'm just worried about Ruo'er's safety."

"Thank you, husband."

"I'm tired, husband, please take care of yourself."

Without caring about Shenxiao's reaction, after saying this, Bai Zhaoyue got up and left. Shenyu, who came hurriedly, happened to meet Bai Zhaoyue who was leaving.

"Sister, are you leaving now?"

"Well, you should take care of yourself."

"Okay, be careful, sis."

Watching Bai Zhaoyue leave without looking back, Shen Yu was still a little puzzled. Holding the file, he hesitated for a moment as he looked at Shen Xiao who had a bad expression.

"Brother, have you made your sister angry again?"

Shenxiao glared at Shenyu and snatched the file away. Shenyu curled his lips and thought that it was true and he was not allowed to say it. He was even more disgusted in his heart. He even doubted his own daughter. He really didn't know what he was thinking.

"You mean, Xili hired someone to kill someone in Shadow Tower yesterday? Or did he kill his own sister?"

"Yes, isn't it written in the file?"

Shen Yu had a sarcastic look on his face. It was thanks to his sister that he had treated them so well in the past, but he actually hired someone to kill his sister's daughter. He really deserved it. Why didn't he beat him to death? Instead, he was left with a breath of fresh air. He spat in his heart.

If it were him, he would be beaten to death on the spot to avoid any future troubles. There was a look in Shen Yu's eyes.

"Afterwards, the enemies he had offended before found out that the Second Young Master was alone, and a fight broke out among them. The Second Young Master was left alone and was seriously injured. When our people arrived, the place was already empty, and those people had already fled."

"The young master had an accident on his way to the Alchemist Guild. He was besieged by a group of independent cultivators and subsequently lost his whereabouts. I have already sent people to search for him. I believe there will be news soon."

"Ah."

Shenxiao was just about to ask something else, but before he could say anything, a servant rushed into the yard in a hurry, knelt down in front of Shenxiao, tears streaming down his face, and kowtowed repeatedly.

"General, General, something's wrong with the young master... the young master..."

Without waiting for the servant to finish speaking, Shenxiao left quickly and ran out of the door. Shenyu glanced at the servant and hurriedly chased after him.

Basins of blood were constantly being carried out of the yard, the maids and old women were constantly busy, and several alchemists also looked anxious.

"Mr. He, what should we do?"

"Even after taking these pills, it's still not enough to save the situation!"

"Hey, is the general here?"

Old He frowned, his face showing fatigue. Several alchemists had been treating him for a whole morning, and he had taken a lot of pills, but there was no improvement. His internal organs were shattered, his meridians were severed, his dantian was broken, and his spiritual energy could not be gathered. No matter how good the rejuvenation pills were, they were of no use.

Several alchemists were still discussing countermeasures when the Divine Owl arrived.

"Mr. He, how is it?"

"General, I am limited in my ability and cannot save the Second Young Master. Even if I had a fourth-grade elixir, the Second Young Master's Dantian is shattered and I really can't do anything."

Hearing what Mr. He said, Shenxiao felt his mind go blank and he was completely confused.

"General, go check on the Second Young Master. He is still conscious..."

crunch...

Shenxiao pushed open the door. Things that seemed easy in the past now seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. He felt unable to lift his feet and slowly walked into the inner room.

Shen Xili was lying on the bed, spitting blood. The boy beside him had tears on his face. The bloody smell in the room made it difficult to breathe, as if every breath could taste the rusty smell. This bloody smell made people feel terrified and revealed an indescribable sadness.

"Xi Li." The voice of Shenxiao trembled slightly.

"Father... Sir... Puff..."

Shen Xili looked up and saw Shen Xiao, and spat out a mouthful of blood. Shen Xiao hurriedly held Shen Xili's hand.

They found that his meridians were broken, his spiritual energy was flowing backwards, his internal organs were shattered, his face was pale, his lips were bloodless and stained red by the blood he had just vomited, and he looked like he was about to die.

"Father, I'm afraid I will disappoint your high hopes for me, ahem..."

“Puchi…cough cough cough cough…”

"Xi Li! You and your elder brother have always been the pride of my General's Mansion!" Shen Xiao's eyes were bloodshot and his hands were trembling as he held the handkerchief, trying to wipe the blood off Shen Xi Li and gently inject spiritual power into him to repair his injuries.

"Cough cough...Puchi...Puchi..." Unexpectedly, the condition got even worse after he lost his spiritual power. He quickly withdrew his spiritual power, and his eyes became even redder.

"Father, it's no use. I know I'm dying."

"Xi Li!"

"Father, I'm very happy to hear you say that, ahem... I hope you take good care of mother, younger sister and older brother, and visit mother occasionally, puchi... she misses you very much..." Shen Xili spit out blood while speaking, holding Shen Xiao's hand tightly, with pleading in his eyes, hoping that he would agree. Shen Xiao did not notice that the mother he was talking about was not Bai Zhaoyue.

"Okay, Xili, this general promises you."

"I feel relieved with my father's words..." After hearing these words, Shen Xili lost his breath completely, and his hands fell weakly into Shen Xiao's arms.

Shenxiao held Shen Xili's body for a long time without any reaction, as if he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. He stood there motionless like a statue, with dull and empty eyes. The servant beside him had fainted from crying.

"Mr. He, what did you say?"

It was not until Bai Zhaoyue's scream came from outside the door that Shen Xiao reacted. His ink-colored clothes were stained with blood, and his hands were also covered with blood. Shen Xiao walked out of the door in a daze, looking at the blood in his hands that had not yet dried, with a dazed and decadent expression.

When Bai Zhaoyue saw Shenxiao's appearance, he understood what was happening but did not show it on his face. With a handkerchief in his hand, he hurried forward to show concern for Shenxiao.

"Husband, take care of yourself. Xi Jing has not been found yet. Husband..."

"I understand, ma'am."

Bai Zhaoyue wanted to say something, but when she smelled the blood on Shenxiao's body, she started to vomit. Shenxiao was really in no mood to care about these things. He told the maid to take good care of Bai Zhaoyue and left, completely ignoring Bai Zhaoyue's ugly expression.

"Master, the person is gone."

The exquisite white jade table was filled with talismans of different patterns. A god was lying on the table drawing talisman papers. The bright red cinnabar looked like blood, making people dare not look directly at it.

Every stroke carries spiritual power, and the cinnabar flows slowly as if it has vitality, drawing vivid runes on the paper.

"Ah."

Haoyue curled up on the table and slept soundly with Xiaojin, while Xiaobai tilted his head and no one knew where Shenruo was.

After drawing the last stroke, Shen Ruo put all the talismans into the storage ring, rubbed his sore shoulders, and drank some scented tea.

"Pack up and leave tomorrow."

"Yes, master."

"Where's the other one?"

"According to the master's instructions, I crippled him, gave him medicine, and threw him off a cliff. If he came back alive, he would be useless."

"Ah."

There is a smile in his pure and flawless eyes. He has a fairy-like face, but he is extremely cruel in doing things.

In her previous life, the two of them had caused her a lot of trouble. In the Warcraft Forest, if it weren't for these two, she wouldn't have been so miserable. She hoped that Aunt Zhang would enjoy the gift she gave her. After all, it is better to be alive than to be dead. It is better for some people to let her live than to let her die.

Isn't Shen Xijing full of arrogance? Then let him be a useless person and stay in the backyard. After all, he wanted to destroy her meridians at that time, and she was already very kind.

"Let's go and see my dear mother."

"Yes."

In the evening, the clouds gathered densely and a drizzle began to fall from the sky. Shen Ruo had dinner in Bai Zhaoyue's courtyard. The table was full of her favorite dishes, which made her feel quite good. Even when facing her enemies from her previous life, Shen Ruo was in a good mood.

"Mother, I will follow Master to other continents tomorrow..."

"What?" He was interrupted by Bai Zhaoyue before he could finish his words. Shen Ruo still patiently picked up a piece of cake for Bai Zhaoyue.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Why? Ruo'er, what are you going to do in other continents?"

"Mother, Master has already broken through to the Golden Core Stage a few days ago. I plan to go to other continents for training so that I can better protect my mother and brother."

"Ruo'er, but I..."

"I have made up my mind. Mother, please stay at home and take good care of your pregnancy and teach your brother well."

"This is the elixir I made. Mother, please keep it."

A Yu took out a pile of bottles and jars. Bai Zhaoyue's eyes were filled with tears. Nanny Bai accepted the pile of pills and arranged Bai Zhaoyue's affairs without waiting for Bai Zhaoyue to refute.

"Let's go and see our Aunt Zhang."

Shen Ruo was smiling brightly and skipping along the road. Anyone could see that she was in a very good mood.

"Miss, all is well."

The two trapped maids were frightened when they saw Shen Ruo coming. After all, the fright they received last time was enough to make them remember it for the rest of their lives.

"Has Aunt Zhang woken up?"

"Miss, he is awake, but he is too badly injured to move."

"Go away. Miss, go see Aunt Zhang." Ayu's cold words made the two maids hesitate for a moment. They looked at each other and then went down.

When he walked into the inner room and saw Aunt Zhang lying motionless, he said with concern:

"Aunt Zhang, are you feeling better?"
