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. “Master Si, sorry for the disturbance. Our mission is to capture Tong Hui and Tong Zhuo. We’ll be taking our leave first.” With everyone watching, the entire team left. They had a strict military disciple. They didn’t even look at us from the corner of their eyes.
My little uncle poked Qu Hao. “Did your father do this?”
Qu Hao smiled wryly. “Don’t be silly. Don’t you know what my father’s occupation is? I would know if he’s trained such a group of people. Plus, they’re respectful to you. I thought they were your secret weapon.”
My little uncle smiled sadly too. “What secret weapon? I’ve lost almost all of them in the past few years. Who are these people? Never mind. We’ll thank them properly when we meet them next time.”
They checked Jing Tian’s 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 couldn’t 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 I’d try so hard to save them. They were just servants. I didn’t 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 Tian’s injuries healed miraculously, but he was still a little weak.
He told everyone about our experiences.
“That 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 Zhuo’s 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.” Jing Tian said in a frustrated tone. He was frustrated that he had taken so long to get out.
Qu Hao patted Jing Tian’s shoulder. “O well. God has arrangements for everything. If you had exited earlier, you wouldn’t have overpowered the enemies since none of your allies had arrived yet. This is already the best outcome. It’s a pity that Tong Hui and his son ran away again.”
My Little Uncle remained silent.
I stretched out my finger and tugged at my little uncle’s clothes. “My Phoenix Blood is really useful. Little Uncle, are you injured? I can heal you.”
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, “I don’t have any injuries that require the Phoenix blood. Don’t you dare recklessly waste the Phoenix Blood!”
My nose couldn’t help but turn sour. “I won’t waste it, but I will use Phoenix Blood to save people and cure diseases. Little uncle, that way, the Phoenix Blood won’t be wasted. My parents were wrong. They shouldn’t 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 wouldn’t be so crazy, and my parents wouldn’t have to die.”
