Chapter 475: Bloodline Connection
Chapter 475: Bloodline Connection
As Gongsun Ziyu spoke, she immediately untied the whip from her waist and was about to rush forward to avenge herself.
Xiao Rong Er grabbed her, "You're no match for her!"
This girl was too terrifying. Not only was her martial arts profound and unfathomable, but even her gaze seemed to be seeking her life.
Where had she seen such a gaze before? She couldn't recall it at the moment.
"You... Run..."
Shang Wuyou used his last bit of strength to speak to Meng Qianqian, "Qian Jige... Danger..."
"You fool, why did you rush over? Why didn't you bring Tan'er?"
Yes, why didn't he bring Tan'er? Perhaps in his heart, going to find his father was no longer safe.
But why did he block that sword for her? He couldn't explain it.
It was only when he came to his senses that he had already done it.
"I don't want... to make Chang Le... sad..."
After saying this, he completely lost consciousness and fell into Meng Qianqian's embrace.
Meng Qianqian held him tightly, "Wuyou!"
Gongsun Ziyu huffed, "Why are you standing there? Hurry up and kill them both!"
Just as the remaining six Black Cloaks were about to rush forward with their knives towards Meng Qianqian and Shang Wuyou, a stern and imposing voice came from outside the courtyard, "What are you doing?"
Gongsun Ziyu's expression changed, "Father?"
Gongsun Yanming strode into the courtyard, his gaze sweeping over everyone and finally resting on the heavily injured Shang Wuyou.
His eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Xiao Rong Er quickly spoke up, "You traitor! Let go of Wuyou immediately! Wuyou has treated you well, and today he only came to speak up for his sister. Yet, you tried to kill him! Is your heart made of stone? Whatever you want, come at me! Don't touch Wuyou!"
Gongsun Ziyu's eyes flashed, and she immediately said to Gongsun Yanming, "Yes, Father, she hurt my brother. Hurry up and kill her!"
Xiao Rong Er turned to the remaining six masked Black Cloaks, "I don't care if you're with her or not, none of you will leave here today!"
Everyone exchanged glances again, and they bit into the poison sacs in their mouths. In an instant, they fell to the ground, poisoned.
Xiao Rong Er said to Meng Qianqian, "Are you not going to let go of Wuyou?"
Meng Qianqian picked up Shang Wuyou, "He's badly injured. I need to treat his wounds. I heard that Qian Jige has a Han Bing Chuang. May I borrow it?"
She was speaking to Gongsun Yanming.
Gongsun Yanming turned and disappeared into the night.
Meng Qianqian carried Shang Wuyou and followed him out of the courtyard.
Gongsun Ziyu was stunned and said to Xiao Rong Er, "Mother!"
Xiao Rong Er watched the backs of the three people, tightly clutching the handkerchief in her hand, "Dispose of the bodies."
Hong Xiu responded, "Yes, Madam."
The Han Bing Chuang was located in Gongsun Yanming's Mingxin Hall.
Gong Sun Yu had just come out of Mingxin Hall and was surprised to see Gongsun Yanming, "Big brother?"
Then, he noticed Meng Qianqian and Shang Wuyou behind his brother, "What happened to Wuyou? Who injured him?"
Gongsun Yanming said, "Get the hemostatic powder and golden wound medicine."
"No, what's going on?"
Gong Sun Yu was completely confused.
Although the Han Bing Chuang was in Mingxin Hall, not everyone was qualified to use it. Aside from Gongsun Yanming, no one else had ever entered.
Meng Qianqian followed Gongsun Yanming without averting her gaze. She watched as he activated mechanism after mechanism, turned into one passage after another, and finally arrived at his practice area.
This place was heavily guarded and well-hidden.
If it weren't for Gongsun Yanming personally leading the way, Meng Qianqian would never have found this place.
Meng Qianqian gently placed Shang Wuyou on the Han Bing Chuang, "Pavilion Master, please wait outside."
Gongsun Yanming didn't move.
Meng Qianqian spoke again, "Pavilion Master, please wait outside."
Gongsun Yanming gave Meng Qianqian a deep look, and although he didn't say it explicitly, Meng Qianqian felt a dangerous chill colder than a venomous snake.
If Shang Wuyou died, she would also die in this dark and hopeless place.
Even if Shang Wuyou lived, she might not be able to walk out alive.
Gongsun Yanming left the secret chamber.
The thick stone door closed.
Although it was called a secret chamber, light still shone through the top.
Meng Qianqian only glanced up and then stopped observing.
The top priority was to save Wu You.
This foolish child, who verbally expressed her dislike for Meng Qianqian, was the first to come and inform her when she was in danger.
If not for this, he wouldn't have fallen into Xiao Rong Er's trap.
Meng Qianqian took out a silver needle and said softly, "Wu You, you have to hold on. Chang Le is still waiting for you in Wushan. Chang Le is connected to you by blood. If something happens to you, Chang Le won't be able to live either."
On the ice bed, Shang Wuyou's face was pale, and there was no response.
Gongsun Yu brought some medicinal ointment and hemostatic powder, intending to send it to his older brother, but he found the door closed and couldn't get in.
Inside was his older brother's cultivation place, and he wasn't qualified to enter.
He could only sigh in the courtyard.
Xiao Rong Er walked over and asked, "Where's your older brother?"
Gongsun Yu replied, "My older brother went in."
"To his cultivation place?"
"Yes."
"Did that girl and Shang Wuyou also go in?"
"Yes."
Gongsun Yu nodded.
Xiao Rong Er laughed self-deprecatingly, "I spent a lot of money to build a replica of Qian Jige, even transporting the ice bed from far away. Neither my own daughter nor my younger brother has ever used it, but now it's being used by a bastard child. He only has that lowly person in his heart. Even though that lowly person has been dead for many years, he still can't forget her. He treats the bastard child of that lowly person as his own, but he is indifferent to his own flesh and blood! This is the famous Pavilion Master of Qian Jige!"
"So, you wanted to use the ice bed."
Gongsun Yu suddenly realized, but he didn't dare question his older brother's actions. Clearing his throat, he asked Xiao Rong Er, "Sister-in-law, who injured Wu You like that?"
"Yan Xiao Jiu."
Xiao Rong Er said indifferently.
"What? Yan Xiao Jiu?" Gongsun Yu was shocked. "Then, when my older brother brought her in... did he want her to atone for her mistake?"
Xiao Rong Er smiled coldly, "I'm afraid she'll enter but won't come out alive."
She understood Gongsun Yanming too well.
He was heartless.
And he didn't trust anyone.
Everyone who built the secret passage was killed by him. How could he spare the life of a wild girl?
Meng Qianqian was alone in the secret chamber, working to save Wu You throughout the night.
Fortunately, there was the ice bed; otherwise, even with her exceptional medical skills, she couldn't have saved Wu You's life.
Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she pressed the mechanism and opened the stone door.
She walked out of the secret chamber and into another courtyard.
Gongsun Yanming stood in the courtyard, and dew had fallen on his head.
Could it be that he had been guarding Wu You outside all night?
"How is Wu You?" Gongsun Yanming asked.
Meng Qianqian replied truthfully, "She's temporarily out of danger, but she still needs careful care. She must not be injured again."
Gongsun Yanming entered the secret chamber.
Shang Wuyou lay on the ice bed, her body wrapped in gauze, her face still pale, but her breathing was noticeably smoother.
He raised his hand and caressed Shang Wuyou's forehead.
Shang Wuyou slowly opened her eyes and looked at him weakly, "Father."
Gongsun Yanming's expression softened slightly, and his tone was unusually gentle, "You're awake."
Shang Wuyou pleaded, "I beg you for one thing. Please don't kill her, okay?"
