Chapter 978 Ambushed
But the hand on his back made a gesture to Blood Elder, telling him to quickly call for reinforcements.
He had already realized that this Wu Daozi was extraordinarily powerful!
"You're seeking death!"
Just as Wu Daozi was about to make a move, he was stopped by Tian Hai Dan.
After all, they were here on business today, not for fighting and killing.
"The Su family in the provincial capital is merely a branch of my Su family in the capital. Do I need to report to the Su family in the provincial capital before coming here?" Tian Hai Dan said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Murong Old Ghost and the other two's pupils contracted.
No wonder he was so strong; he was from the capital!
They showed deep apprehension. They had also spent some time in the capital in the past and naturally knew the power of the wealthy and noble families in the capital. For experts of their level, becoming a servant to a wealthy family required passing through layers of screening.
"Quickly, go and summon Su Yunxi for me," Tian Hai Dan said.
Murong Old Ghost glanced at Bone Elder, who immediately called Su Yunxi over.
"Aunt, why are you here?"
Su Yunxi looked at Tian Hai Dan for a long time. The woman standing before her was indeed Su Ning's mother, Tian Hai Dan.
She never expected this lofty woman to come to the provincial capital.
She glanced behind Tian Hai Dan. Apart from a servant, there was no one else accompanying her, which made Su Yunxi suspicious.
Su Yunxi's memory of Tian Hai Dan was still from her childhood, but she had heard her parents and grandfather talk about Tian Hai Dan. Tian Hai Dan was very ostentatious; every outing was led by luxury cars and accompanied by hundreds of attendants, like a royal consort or empress in ancient times.
However, today she was alone with only a servant, which made Su Yunxi doubt if what her parents said was true.
"Where is your live-in son-in-law? I want to see him!"
Tian Hai Dan spoke in a commanding tone, still as haughty as ever, as if the person standing before her was a humble servant.
Born into the Su family of the capital, possessing supreme power and wealth.
She did indeed have the right to speak to people like this.
"You want to see Chen Xuan?"
"Yes!"
Tian Hai Dan replied indifferently, still with an overbearing aura.
"I'm sorry, Chen Xuan is in seclusion and cannot see you." Su Yunxi stated truthfully.
"Seclusion?" Tian Hai Dan frowned, showing a hint of displeasure.
Wu Daozi, observing her reaction, immediately noticed Tian Hai Dan's unhappiness. He stepped forward and said coldly to Su Yunxi, "What seclusion for a good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law? Make him get out here immediately!"
"I'm sorry, Chen Xuan is in seclusion. Please leave."
Su Yunxi maintained sufficient patience.
"So he's not coming out?"
Wu Daozi sneered, staring at Su Yunxi.
Murong Old Ghost, Blood Elder, and Bone Elder all stepped forward in unison. They sensed danger and blocked Su Yunxi behind them.
"Live-in son-in-law of the provincial capital's Su family, get out here!"
Wu Daozi roared to the sky, his cold voice suddenly rising!
Instantly, each word exploded in people's minds like thunder.
Some of the subordinates present covered their ears, but even so, they still bled from their seven orifices, trembled all over, and their faces turned pale!
Murong Old Ghost, Blood Elder, and Bone Elder, who bore the brunt of it, all changed their expressions.
"It's a Martial Dao Venerable!" Blood Elder exclaimed.
The three resisted with all their might, and tried their best to protect Su Yunxi, but in the face of such overwhelming power, they were no match!
Because that was a Martial Dao Venerable!
Pfft!
Murong Old Ghost and the other two spat out blood in unison and were sent flying away.
"Hahaha, so this is all the provincial capital's Su family is capable of? It's truly laughable!"
Wu Daozi said disdainfully. He stared at Su Yunxi, who was leaning against a pillar, trying to keep herself from falling, and sneered, "Miss Su, can you call out your shifty son-in-law now?"
He absolutely did not believe Chen Xuan was in seclusion. In his opinion, Chen Xuan was simply afraid to show his face.
With this thought, his expression became even more contemptuous.
As soon as the words fell, Wu Daozi's expression changed. He instinctively took two steps back. With a "shua" sound, his clothes at the waist were torn open by a sharp object, as if slashed by a dagger.
Everyone was greatly alarmed. What was happening?
Even Tian Hai Dan was shocked. She had never seen Wu Daozi suffer a setback!
Moreover, it was in the small province of Jiangnan.
"Who is it?"
Wu Daozi sneered, his face dark as he looked over.
At some unknown time, a little girl, as exquisite as a porcelain doll, had appeared behind her. She held a sharp dagger in her hand, her cold gaze like that of a falcon, fixedly staring at Wu Daozi.
Seeing that she was wounded by a little girl, Wu Daozi was also greatly surprised, finding it somewhat unexpected.
"Xiao Xue, come back quickly! You're no match for him!"
Su Yunxi shouted worriedly.
Although Mo Xiaoxue had always been her bodyguard, Su Yunxi had always treated Mo Xiaoxue as her own sister. She knew that this Wu Daozi was not simple, which was why she was so concerned.
Mo Xiaoxue walked towards Su Yunxi, but instead of hiding behind her, she stood in front of Su Yunxi, protecting her.
"Sister Yunxi, I took Chen Xuan's salary and promised him that I would protect your safety."
Mo Xiaoxue's tone was firm.
Hearing this, Su Yunxi sighed helplessly.
"Possessing the strength of a Grandmaster of Inner Force at such a young age, and proficient in assassination techniques. You are one of the geniuses I have seen. Not bad, not bad!"
Wu Daozi sized up Mo Xiaoxue, and was able to see through her.
He showed an expression of great interest.
"Little girl, are you interested in returning to the capital with me and becoming my disciple? If you become my disciple, you can definitely become a Martial Dao Venerable in the future! You can also join the Su family in the capital and become someone superior."
Wu Daozi said with a smile, trying to persuade her.
His offer was generous. He believed that anyone hearing such an offer would agree.
"Okay..."
After a slight hesitation, Mo Xiaoxue nodded and agreed. After speaking, Mo Xiaoxue put away her dagger and walked towards Wu Daozi.
"Mo Xiaoxue, how could you betray Miss Su and Mr. Chen?"
Murong Old Ghost and the others shouted, full of unwillingness and anger.
Su Yunxi, however, said nothing, but stared at Mo Xiaoxue's retreating figure with a worried expression...
"You not only have good talent, but you are also very sensible. Excellent, excellent!" Wu Daozi looked at Mo Xiaoxue excitedly, and instinctively reached out to pat her head.
The next moment!
Shlick!
Mo Xiaoxue's dagger moved. Wu Daozi, who had let down his guard, did not react at all and was directly stabbed in the abdomen, his blood gushing out!
The bright red blood splattered onto her clothes and face, but Mo Xiaoxue remained expressionless.
The surroundings fell silent. Murong Old Ghost and the other two, who had been cursing, were stunned.
Immediately after, Murong Old Ghost and the other two blushed. It turned out Mo Xiaoxue intended to scheme against this guy!
They had misunderstood Mo Xiaoxue!
"Why?"
Wu Daozi's face turned extremely grim, his gaze as if he wanted to devour Mo Xiaoxue alive.
"Because I don't like people touching my head," Mo Xiaoxue's voice was clear and cold.
