Chapter 1277: Miss Cousin Does Not Want to Be Entrusted to Her (22)

Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing thought that the people who came should be the guards of the Tao family, and their martial arts level would definitely not be as good as the two professional martial artists like them, but they soon realized that they had underestimated the level of the people who came.

The man's moves were extremely fast and fierce. When he attacked Wei Ning, his momentum was as strong as a knife. Just the wind from his fist brushing against his face was enough to cause pain. Wei Ning couldn't imagine how badly he would be injured if this fist hit him. You know, his previous injuries had not yet fully healed.

Fortunately, there was only one master, and Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing barely took advantage of the numbers. They were two against one and were evenly matched with him.

However, this advantage soon disappeared because other patrol guards from the Tao family arrived.

The gruff male voice immediately gave the order, "Catch these two thieves quickly! No matter if they are dead or alive!"

As soon as he said this, the guards immediately launched a fierce attack on Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing like hyenas discovering their prey.

The fighting power of these guards was obviously inferior to that of Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing, but they outnumbered them and had good coordination. Together with the expert at the beginning, they quickly gained the upper hand against Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing.

As a result, Xiao Ruqing failed to dodge and was hit hard in the chest by the master.

"Puff!" Xiao Ruqing spat out a mouthful of blood after being hit by him. She flew several meters away in an instant and fell to the ground. Then several guards immediately rushed towards her and tried to catch her.

Seeing this, Wei Ning became extremely anxious. Regardless of the people in front of him, he quickly jumped towards Xiao Ruqing to block the attacks of the guards for her.

The expert who was thrown away by him saw his actions and couldn't help but sneer, "You still want to be a hero to save the beauty when you are about to die? Then I will help you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards Wei Ning without hesitation. It was already difficult for Wei Ning to deal with several guards while protecting Xiao Ruqing. With the arrival of this master, he was under even greater pressure. He narrowly avoided those people's attacks several times. After several confrontations, he was already very tired and his internal strength was almost exhausted. After all, his body had not yet recovered to its peak condition.

Xiao Ruqing saw Wei Ning's predicament clearly. She secretly hated herself for not investigating the true situation of the Tao family, which put herself and Wei Ning in such a dangerous situation. Therefore, she said to Wei Ning directly out of guilt: "Don't worry about me, just run away when you get the chance!"

"No! How can I leave you alone and run away?" Wei Ning said without thinking. He might be ruthless to cannon fodder, but to his destined heroine, he would naturally have deep feelings and loyalty, and would stay with her to live and die together no matter what.

"Both of you, don't even think about escaping from me!" the expert said sarcastically, "Since you're so worried about each other, why don't you stay here together!"

"You are an accomplice who helps the tyrant to commit atrocities! Don't you know that Tao Qian is a corrupt official who commits bribes, abuses power and engages in malpractices for personal gain? You work for him, aren't you afraid of dying and going to hell?!" Xiao Ruqing was so angry that he cursed the master.

"You speak so righteously, but why do you carry precious treasures from the master's study with you? What qualifications do you, a petty thief, have to teach me a lesson?" the master said sarcastically.

Xiao Ruqing's face suddenly became hot, and she stammered, "I, we are punishing corrupt officials! We rob the rich and help the poor!"

"Haha... you are the only ones who believe this, right?" The master laughed in anger, "People like you are even more hypocritical and greedy than me. Pah! It's disgusting! You steal people's money for your own enjoyment, but you still use a big banner to cover up your shame, saying that you are robbing the rich to help the poor. It turns out that people in the underworld are hypocritical..."

Xiao Ruqing and Wei Ning both felt that his words were like a big slap in the face, making them feel extremely ashamed.

This is because they are too young now and cannot bear to hear the truth from others. They still have a little conscience and feel ashamed. But if they are older, have been in the world for a long time, and have become thick-skinned, then the words of this master will definitely not cause any ripples in their hearts. They will just treat them as wind in one ear and let them go in one ear and out the other.

"We didn't!" Wei Ning retorted in shame and anger, and fought with them even harder.

Wei Ning was too emotionally unstable and had been fighting for a long time, so his strength was almost gone. Therefore, the master soon found his weakness and punched him hard on the left shoulder, causing him to step back several steps in a hurry.

The master took advantage of the situation and launched several more swift punches. Wei Ning dodged two of them, but was hit by another punch in the face. He staggered back and nearly fell.

At this time, his enemies would not give him a chance to catch his breath. The guards followed and besieged him. Xiao Ruqing had to endure the severe pain in his chest and work together with Wei Ning to break the deadlock.

Seeing that the two were about to be defeated, the master thought that the outcome was already decided and the two would definitely not be able to escape, so he stopped attacking and watched from the side as the guards besieged them, like watching a cat playing with a mouse, wanting to watch the show of Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing's "death struggle".

He didn't know that these two were the darlings of the world consciousness. Even if there was no flaw, they would find one out of thin air to help them escape. What's more, this master cannon fodder actually stopped and let those guards with low combat power to deal with them, so isn't this just asking God to help them?

As a result, Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing were immediately assisted by God, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and their fighting power instantly increased several times. Those guards were no match for them at all. After several rounds, they were really swept away by Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing...

The two of them seized the opportunity in time. When the guards were knocked down and the master was careless and distracted, they looked at each other, stood on tiptoe, jumped up suddenly, reached the roof, and then quickly dived into the darkness and disappeared.

The guards and the expert were stunned for a moment. The cooked duck could actually fly...

"Go chase him! What are you still standing there for?" the expert cursed angrily and flew onto the roof to chase him.

However, he is the son of luck. Since he has escaped from his sight, how could he be discovered by him?

So Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing escaped smoothly and returned to their rented place.

But this time they didn't get anything good. The precious items they took from Tao Qian's study were smashed to pieces during the fight, and only a few silver bills were left in their pockets.

I wonder if this amount of money is enough to pay for their injuries and medicine? After all, both of them were seriously injured this time, especially Wei Ning, who had not recovered from his old injuries and had new ones, which was a further harm to his body.

Xiao Ruqing wasn't much better off. She was hit in the chest and suffered serious internal injuries, which are more difficult to heal than external injuries.
