Li Hei looked conflicted and didn't want to leave.
Fu Gang laughed and said, "Alright, let's go. Your little sister is much smarter than you. It'll be fine."
Li Hei scratched his head and walked for a while, feeling increasingly uneasy. "Young Master instructed us to take Little Sister back. What would it look like if the two of us went back by ourselves!"
Fu Gang shrugged. "But my little sister doesn't want us to come. What can we do?"
Li Hei said, "We can follow them secretly. You know, the two of us are among the top fighters in the team. But this time, the young master didn't let us participate in the operation. Instead, he asked us to escort my little sister back. Doesn't that mean my little sister might also be in danger?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Gang's expression turned serious.
"It shouldn't be that bad. After all, the young master didn't emphasize it to us. Besides, my little sister has no connection with the Liuli Society. Why would the Liuli Society think of her? Moreover, the Liuli Society is too busy taking care of itself to do anything else," Fu Gang analyzed.
"What if?" Li Hei always felt uneasy.
"Alright, alright, let's go look for it. At worst, we can sneak up behind them."
Li Hei nodded hurriedly.
At this moment, Su Jinxia was not actually shopping, but came to a secluded back alley.
"Come out."
Su Jin spoke calmly, her composure surprising the newcomer, who seemed to see a resemblance to the Lady of the Glass in her.
The three men landed, all masked. The one in the lead, over forty years old, was named Su Zhen.
Su Jin said softly, "Uncle, I really didn't expect it to be you."
Su Zhen's eyes were wary. "How did you know it was me? Did you sense the power of the Gu Mother?"
Su Jin shook her head. "No, my uncle watched me grow up. I used to often go to your house for meals when I was little. How could I not recognize you?"
Su Zhen didn't believe it and was still suspicious. "Then how did you know we were following you?"
Su Jinxia had clearly sent those two away on purpose; otherwise, they would be corpses by now.
Su Jin chuckled lightly, "Nie Qingyi recognized me at the auction, so how could she let me go back so easily? It's obvious she'll send someone to capture me and take me back."
Su Jin was unsure of the extent of these three people's trust in Nie Qingyi, and dared not easily reveal the matter of the Gu Mother.
Su Zhen remained silent, seemingly considering the credibility of Su Jin's words.
Su Jin sighed, "I knew Nie Qingyi would send someone, but I didn't expect it to be you. I don't understand why Uncle would even risk your life for her. Can't you see what she's thinking?"
Su Zhen retorted sternly, "It's your incompetence that led your subordinates to harbor thoughts of taking your place. That's your fault! If it weren't for you, how could the Liuli Society have fallen into such chaos, and how could Su Yue have died?"
Su Yue was Su Zhen's daughter and a spy infiltrating Phoenix Pavilion. She was discovered and died during a previous mission to search for the secret treasure.
Su Zhen blamed everything on Su Jinxia, who had no way to defend herself.
"What does my uncle want? To kill me?"
“You know perfectly well that the offspring gu can’t kill the mother gu, so why say such sarcastic things?” Su Zhen’s eyes flashed with malice. “Come back with us.”
"Go back for what? To imprison me and let Nie Qingyi be in charge?"
Su Zhen remained silent.
Su Jin smiled sadly, thinking that this could be considered revenge for Su Yue.
“Uncle, I didn’t expect Su Yue to die so tragically. I’m very sorry, but I hope you can open your eyes and see if Nie Qingyi is worthy of your loyalty. I will not go back with you, but I hope you understand that everything I did today was to prevent a second Su Yue from sacrificing herself.”
Su Zhen's henchman said directly, "Why waste time arguing with her? Just arrest her and take her back. Lord Qingyi will make his own decision."
Su Zhen pondered for a moment, then his eyes flashed with a fierce light. "You don't need to argue anymore. The treasure has been retrieved. There's no point in you staying at Phoenix Pavilion. In any case, go back and we'll talk about it later."
The three of them leaped up, forcing Su Jin to retreat and dodge.
Su Jinxia wouldn't kill Su Zhen directly like she did Huahen. She also couldn't expose the power of the Gu Mother, so she could only rely on the martial arts she had learned at Phoenix Pavilion to resist, which was very difficult.
Suddenly, a henchman thrust his sword at Su Jin, but Su Jin reacted swiftly, grabbing his wrist and twisting it forcefully.
The younger brother cried out in pain, and the sword in his hand was suddenly released.
Su Jin caught the falling sword and engaged in combat with the other two.
"The Phoenix Cry Sword Technique!" Su Zhen exclaimed in surprise, "The Phoenix Pavilion actually taught you the Phoenix Cry Sword Technique?"
Su Jin's gaze hardened. "That's right, so Uncle, you should believe me!"
Su Zhen snorted coldly, "I think you're so happy you've forgotten all about home."
As soon as he finished speaking, he unleashed an even more ferocious sword technique towards Su Jin.
Su Jinxia frantically tried to defend herself, but no matter how exquisite her swordsmanship was, the difference in strength was too great.
Moreover, Su Zhen and the other two are all top-level experts.
Just as Su Jin was at her wit's end and wondering whether she should reveal a little bit of the Gu Mother's power, a sharp sword pierced through the air and blocked Su Zhen's attack.
It's Fu Gang!
"Little sister, step back!"
Li Hei roared and charged forward!
Su Jin was stunned for a moment. She didn't know when Li Hei and Fu Gang had arrived, or if she had heard anything.
Two against three, head-on confrontation, Li Hei and Fu Gang were not at a disadvantage at all.
However, a member of the Liuli Society suddenly fired several hidden weapons at Li Hei.
Li Hei, being straightforward by nature, was completely unprepared for the opponent's underhanded tactics and momentarily lost his footing.
Su Jinxia hurriedly went up and pulled him out of the encirclement of hidden weapons, but was hit in the shoulder by a hidden weapon herself.
This type of concealed weapon has many sharp barbs. When it glides across the shoulder, it leaves a bloody gash.
