Xiao Long Nü's voice was not pleasant.
This group of people only knew how to chat, leaving her and Zhao Lei to wait.
She had been using water-element healing spells to keep Zhao Lei alive.
Zhao Lei, of all people, didn't know who had attacked him.
He had over thirty wounds on his body.
They looked extremely frightening.
Earlier, it was the Ma family who sensed the disturbance at the entrance to the small world.
Someone outside had opened the door to the small world.
Ma Deju was the first to rush over.
Because of Zhao Lei's disappearance, he had been determined to have left the small world.
Now, with someone entering the entrance, everyone thought he had returned.
But... when Ma Deju and the others arrived there.
They discovered Zhao Lei, lying on the ground, inside the small world.
Severely injured and unconscious, with only a thread of life remaining.
In their haste, they carried him to the Ma family ancestral hall.
No one expected that it wasn't just Zhao Lei who had entered the Ma family's small world.
But also this Chu Xinghe...
Chu Xinghe, having followed Chu Batian since childhood, had lived in the Ma family's small world for many years and naturally knew the method to open the entrance.
"Don't worry, he won't die!" Chu Xinghe said to Xiao Long Nü after she finished speaking, turning to look at Zhao Lei.
"He won't die? Do you know how he got injured?"
Gao Kai asked excitedly.
"I don't know how he was injured, but I was the one who brought him here!" Chu Xinghe replied.
"May I ask, senior, where did you meet him?"
It was still Gao Kai, who stepped forward and asked.
"Shengjing..."
Chu Xinghe recounted the circumstances of meeting Zhao Lei.
It turned out that after Chu Xinghe had parted ways with them last time.
He had returned to the tomb where he had originally emerged.
There, he stabilized his leaking corpse-ghost energy.
And achieved unprecedented improvements.
His consciousness also recovered.
The first thing he did was to investigate the events of the past.
He heard from the Ma family that after he was captured years ago, a woman named Jiu Er had slaughtered everyone who had attacked him from the eight great families.
And they had died tragically through extremely sinister means.
In his memory, his wife Jiu Er was an ordinary person with no strength.
During this period, he had visited almost all six families except the Luo family and the Ma family.
He confirmed the Ma family's statement that the previous generation's patriarchs of these families were indeed killed by a woman calling herself Jiu Er!
However, since then, they had been tracking this woman's whereabouts, seeking revenge.
But 20 years had passed, and this woman had vanished as if into thin air.
No matter what methods these families used, they couldn't find her.
Chu Xinghe knew that with his own strength, finding Jiu Er would be even more difficult.
But if he couldn't find his wife, he still had a son.
He believed that his wife must have placed their son in a safe place first.
Otherwise, with the power of the eight great families, they would have found his son long ago.
And they never mentioned the existence of a child at all.
So he started with the name... Chu Tian, and began investigating within Shengjing.
His targets were those who were adopted or orphans, named Chu Tian.
After searching through the entire Shengjing city, he finally narrowed down his target to Northeast University in Shengjing City.
Only his age, name, and upbringing in an orphanage matched the criteria.
As he followed the clues step by step and found the villa where Chu Tian and Luo Luo lived.
He discovered that the homeowner of this villa was Luo Yiyi, and upon learning Luo Yiyi's background.
It immediately reminded him of a young man who had been with Luo Yiyi at the Luo family.
The last time he saw him, Chu Xinghe had a strange feeling, but his consciousness was unclear at the time, and he dismissed it.
He suddenly felt, could it be such a coincidence...
Just as he was about to infiltrate the villa to investigate.
Suddenly, in the villa's courtyard, he felt a faint aura.
As he approached, he saw Zhao Lei, who was severely injured.
Zhao Lei was lying in the grass, barely breathing.
When he turned Zhao Lei over.
Below his chest were three characters.
Written: Be careful... The third character was... (The stroke of the character Tian was missing)
In any case, Chu Xinghe believed that the third character was the incomplete character Tian!
He found no signs of a struggle around, meaning this person had run here on his own.
This meant that this person wanted to die here, using this method to inform the owner of this place... Chu Tian?
This question also lingered in Chu Xinghe's mind.
And so, he brought Zhao Lei to this Ma family small world.
Originally, he intended to go to the Luo family, but then he thought of heading to the Ma family first.
Because he remembered that the Ma family's young man, Ma Deju, seemed to be brothers with the young man by Luo Yiyi's side.
However, as soon as he entered the entrance, he discovered countless people with high cultivation within the Ma family's small world.
Thinking something had happened to the Ma family, he put Zhao Lei down.
He infiltrated the small world in disguise to check, but nothing seemed to have happened.
These people with extremely high cultivation were all guests of the Ma family.
To his surprise, there were two more villas in the Ma family's small world.
"That's not right, you said you found him with only a breath left, and Shengjing is so far away from here!
He's still barely hanging on by a thread!
According to what you said, based on the situation when you found him, he should have been dead by now!
I checked him... he hasn't received any treatment!"
The one speaking was Lin Yu, who expressed doubt about Chu Xinghe's words.
"Haha... The daughter of Huang Mei is indeed extraordinary, but unfortunately, you are still a bit short! I'm right, aren't I, Master Huang?"
Chu Xinghe shifted his attention to Master Huang sitting on the side... Lin Yu's maternal grandfather!
"Grandfather? What's going on?" Lin Yu asked, turning her head.
"Hmph... You're calling me grandfather now? Weren't you just having your eldest and second brothers drag me away?" Master Huang snorted.
"Grand...father... At a time like this, you still..." Lin Yu stamped her foot and pouted!
"Alright, alright... This小子 won't die. When have you ever seen me not save someone from death?
The reason I didn't let you use acupuncture was because I was truly afraid you would follow in your mother's footsteps!
Check his heart carefully!" Master Huang, seeing Lin Yu's expression, seemed to relent and said gently.
Lin Yu listened and walked towards Zhao Lei.
"I've checked! His heart stopped long ago, but there's another power within his heart that I've been suppressing!"
Xiao Long Nü, her face slightly pale, said as she looked up.
"Corpse Qi..." As Lin Yu sent her own Qi into Zhao Lei's heart, her expression changed drastically.
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts trembled.
"You want to turn him into a corpse?" Lin Ran suddenly looked at Chu Xinghe.
"He's already a corpse. What else do you want me to do? Carry a real dead body to you?
Oh, by the way, I'm saying, that girl, if you keep suppressing the corpse Qi I gave him, he might truly become a corpse!"
Chu Xinghe spread his hands and looked at Xiao Long Nü.
Xiao Long Nü frowned and looked at Luo Luo, Gao Kai, and Jing Kaiyu.
Luo Luo and Gao Kai pondered for a moment and nodded.
Jing Kaiyu's expression was grim as he stared at Zhao Lei, showing no reaction.
"Hoo..." Xiao Long Nü slowly withdrew her hand from Zhao Lei's head.
She exhaled and looked up at Chu Xinghe, her eyes narrowing as she said.
"I am 19,872 years old this year, not the little girl you're talking about..."
As she said this, Luo Luo's expression changed, and she stepped forward to pull her.
"Why are you pulling me? You're his daughter-in-law, but I'm not... I hate it the most when people call me a little girl... Hmph!"
Xiao Long Nü said to Luo Luo, her voice still loud.
"You... I..." Luo Luo was immediately made extremely awkward by her.
Her face turned red, she looked up at Chu Xinghe, and then turned to glare fiercely at Xiao Long Nü.
Chu Xinghe heard this and looked Luo Luo up and down with great interest.
Luo Luo felt a stiffness in her body under his gaze.
She turned with difficulty.
"Uncle... Uncle Chu... Chu!"
Seeing that Zhao Lei was fine, everyone instead began to watch with amusement, looking at Luo Luo and Chu Xinghe.
...
Chu Tian was completely unaware of these events happening in the real world.
At this moment, he was still in the Heavenly Dao world, wielding the Wrath of the Moon God.
The General's Hall was dinging and clanging; if others didn't know, they would think it was a blacksmith's shop.
