Chapter 19 Rescue failed, separation again
A quarter of an hour ago
Yue Chi dodged the pursuit of the two people behind him. Seeing that the two men were trying to take Yue Chi away from him, Yue Huainan shot one of them to death with an iron dart, and the other man fell to the ground with injuries in his hands and feet.
Yue Huainan has been feeling frightened since he left the valley last time, and he sent people to take turns monitoring the movements in and out of the valley. When he heard that Yue Chi was leading people out of the valley, he quickly set out from the clan, and when he arrived, he rescued Yue Chi who was being hunted.

Wen Shi stabbed the injured guard to death with a ruthless sword, leaving Wen Ranqi stunned. The bloody sword was blocking in front of him, less than three feet away from his face.
"I wonder if you're satisfied with my treatment, Patriarch Huainan?" Wen Shi's eyes clearly warned Yue Huainan not to meddle in other people's affairs. Yue Huainan had also promised Yue Chi a quarter of an hour ago. The old agreement between him and Yue Chi had been broken, and a new one had been signed.
Yue Chi promised that as long as Yue Huainan helped Qiqi and his group leave safely today, he would return to the clan with Yue Huainan without any resistance. When Qiqi saw Yue Chi approaching Yue Huainan, he understood Yue Chi's final decision.
Qiqi's eyes met his. He shook his head, wanting Yue Chi to leave with them, but Yue Chi simply smiled calmly and said, "Take care." Yue Huainan walked between the two sides, his brows thoughtful. "Patriarch Wen, why don't you give me some face? After all, we are all in the territory of my Yurou Clan. If you don't want to fight any more, why don't you all move outside of this area and continue? Then, you can handle it however you want. I will not interfere with this matter anymore."
Wen Shi's eyes were sharp, and Qiqi was ready to die.
Wen Yuhan exchanged glances with Liang Sheng and reminded Qiqi in his ear, "Kid, if you have a green mountain, you will not be afraid of a firewood shortage. If you can't beat him now, you will still die. According to my plan, we will retreat first. When we get to a safe place, we can decide this matter later."
How could Qiqi give up? Wen Ranqi was already very close to him. The proud master whom he once respected, worshipped, loved and admired so much was now at the mercy of others. He could not remain calm, and his heart was filled with irrational anger.
The Fengyin Sword rang out, and Qiqi leaped forward, thrusting with all her might at Wen Shi's sword. Even Wen Ranqi could sense the frenzied energy. Wen Shi's eyes fixed, and he leaped up as well, cleaving Qiqi's sword. He quickly circled behind her and struck Qiqi in the back with all his might. Qiqi, along with her sword, was struck hard against a tree trunk, collapsing to the ground, blood gushing from her mouth, her grip on the sword unsteady. Wen Shi attempted to press home his victory with a fatal strike, but Liang Sheng and Wen Shi exchanged blows, forcing Wen Shi back.
Liang Sheng's blood was also boiling from the blow from Wen Shi's peak strength palm. He held on and helped Qi Qi up, "Silly boy, do you want to die first before your master? Yue Chi has already bought us time, let's go first."
Wen Shi was about to move when Yue Huainan stepped forward and fired a dart at his feet. "Clan leader Wen, do you really not want to take me, Yue Huainan, seriously? Even though clan leader Wen is a martial arts expert, I, Yue, didn't just rely on others to get to where I am today." Yue Huainan reminded Wen Shi with a dignified look. Wen Ranqi knelt on the ground, comforting Qiqi who had never taken her eyes off him. He couldn't help but yell at Qiqi, "Go! Are you stupid? You can't beat him, but you're still fighting him. I'm satisfied that you can come to save me. Go! Staying alive is what matters."
Wen Ranqi roared in one breath, feeling like she was going to die. The pain from Wen Shi pinching her neck just now hadn't healed yet. Qiqi angrily glanced at Wen Shi who was standing next to Wen Ranqi, "Master, I will come to save you again."
Liang Sheng and Wen Yuhan helped Qiqi evacuate quickly. Yue Huainan blocked Wen Shi in the middle and said, "Don't worry, Patriarch Wen. They haven't left our clan yet."
Wen Shi swung his arm and sheathed his sword. Wan Ming pulled Wen Ranqi up and asked, "Patriarch, do you want me to send someone after them?" Wen Shi grabbed Wen Ranqi, pinched his face, and looked around. "No, as long as we have him, we just need to wait and see." Wen Ranqi was thrown hard against the carriage. The pain made him see stars, and he was pushed into the carriage by Wan Ming.
"Wen Shi, you will be punished for your actions!"
Yue Chi yelled angrily at Wen Shi. Wen Shi got into the car and looked over fiercely, his face full of sneers. "Mr. Yue Chi is a kind man, and I believe he is also a filial son. Then go back and enjoy the 'kindness of father and filial piety' with your father!"
"You! Wen Shi, I curse you to die a miserable death!"
Yue Huainan stopped Yue Chi, had his guards knock him out, and then carried him onto a horse.
"Patriarch Wen, please take care and be patient."
"Goodbye, Patriarch Huainan!"
Liang Sheng had prepared horses, with Wen Yuhan and Qiqi sharing one and him riding the other. The horses galloped for a distance, with no sign of pursuers. Qiqi's body ached more and more from the jolting ride, and she fainted in Wen Yuhan's arms from exhaustion.
"Hero Liang, let's quickly find a place to treat him, otherwise he might not be able to hold on until we reach our destination."
Liang Sheng took a closer look and found that Qiqi's blood was surging, her internal energy was in chaos, and she had lost too much blood due to external injuries. He needed to see a doctor immediately.
"Okay, since Wen Shi didn't catch up, let's go to the next village and find a doctor to check him out."
"Okay, go!"
"drive!"
After passing Yuchuan Valley, it takes another two days to reach Xueye City, which has the most prosperous town outside the city. Wen Shi asked Wanming to book the best restaurant before dark and prepare good wine and delicious food.
Wen Ranqi's hands and feet were untied, and she went to the toilet in a daze, then sat listlessly at the dinner table. Wen Shi's hands were also scratched by Qiqi's sword, but although they were not as serious as Qiqi's, they still looked painful.
Wen Ranqi remained weak, pale, and sweaty, even the food on the table was doubled. Wen Shi also used his left hand very well, which didn't prevent him from drinking and eating.
"Don't you feel uncomfortable at all? Why am I so thirsty?" After saying that, Wen Ranqi fell to the ground without knowing what happened. He could no longer see or hear.
"I have a fever, what should the patriarch do?"
"Find a doctor and don't let him die."
"Yes, go find a doctor and move him to the guest room."
Wen Shi closed his eyes and enjoyed the refreshing taste of the wine, but Wan Ming had one thing that he didn't understand, and he hesitated to speak.
"What do you want to say?" Wen Shi opened his eyes.
"Great Patriarch, since Wen Ranqi has been found, why don't you just bring him back here? If someone finds out he's still alive, I'm afraid everyone will start to talk about him again."
"So we have to bring him into the city quietly, and we can't let anyone know he's still alive."
"Then why don't you just..." Wan Ming's suggestion has exceeded the authority given by Wen Shi. A look from Wen Shi made Wan Ming shut up and retreat to where he should be.
Wen Shi stroked the wine glass, thoughtfully.
He and Wen Ranqi have always been like the two sides of black and white, yin and yang. Wen Yuechu's partiality and strictness made him always yearn for everything about Wen Ranqi, which also led to the beginning of his darkness. Wen Ranqi grew up in an environment where Wen Yuechu favored and doted on him. He had a simple and kind heart, and he seemed like a person who could bring light to everyone.
His hatred for Wen Ranqi was more of jealousy and unwillingness, and it was a hatred that was transferred to his desire for Wen Yuechu's love. Wen Yuechu's death brought him a refreshing and brand-new joy. When Wen Ranqi fell off the cliff, he thought he would be happy, but in the past four years, in addition to worrying about whether Wen Ranqi would suddenly appear in his world, he also lost something else, which made him lose the meaning of fighting. He celebrated crazily that he finally got everything he had dreamed of. He sat on the chair of the patriarch with satisfaction. He smiled and said that he had the most wealth, the greatest power, and the highest martial arts. He should have achieved everything and just needed to enjoy every moment to his heart's content. When he saw Wen Ranqi in person, who was looking at him with horror at his life, he found what he had been missing in his heart, which allowed him to truly enjoy everything.
Because only when Wen Ranqi is still alive, he has the determination to continue competing and fighting against his opponents, and only then can he experience the happiness he has taken from Wen Ranqi time and time again.
