The two brothers were fighting like black-eyed chickens. Sheng Nanxi jumped up and gave each of them a little fat paw.
"Shut up! If you startle those charlatans over there, I'll make you two pay!"
As soon as the little fat girl opened her mouth, the two tall and strong brothers immediately stood aside obediently as if they had made a mistake and were learning from others.
Sheng Nanxi listened carefully to what was happening on the other side, with a serious look on her face.
"The restaurant across the street is unusually quiet. From time to time, I can feel that there are people with great martial arts skills moving around in it. I guess the place has been occupied by the immortals, and they are just waiting to give us a fatal blow in the dark and windy night."
"You two stay here and lead the nearby hidden guards to protect mother and the others. Lingquan Mountain is nearby, we'll be back soon."
The little fat girl waved her hand, and her momentum was as strong as two meters and eighty centimeters. Sheng Yichen was somewhat reluctant to lose favor.
"It's not safe for you two little kids to run around at night, so let me go with you." He glanced at Sheng Tiance with some resentment as he said this.
"I told you long ago that I would leave someone behind to protect mom and the others, but you insisted on following me to join in the fun. Look at you, you've pissed off my little sister now!"
Sheng Tiance was already used to this unjust third brother's operation of shirking responsibility, and he remained as still as a mountain.
"Your martial arts skills are not as good as mine. My younger sister can't be with too many people when she goes out to investigate the situation, so it is natural that I am the most suitable person to go."
"Then let's all go. Nothing will go wrong with daddy around." Sheng Yichen did not give in.
"Ahem... I pressed the sleeping point on Daddy." Sheng Nanxi was very angry.
She was just afraid that waking up her parents and asking them questions would be very troublesome, and she thought that it wouldn't take long for her to go out and do something to her father...
Now think about it, since they can handle those little troubles themselves, they don't need to disturb the rest of the elders.
Sheng Nanxi put her hands on her waist and made the final decision. "Both of you stay here!"
Apart from the eldest brother who is relatively calm, the other brothers like to fight and quarrel in private.
Fortunately, the two brothers were noisy but listened to Sheng Nanxi's words. Seeing her serious face, they shut up and listened to her.
"The rumors spread by the people are not groundless. The shop owner said that if you offend the Xianyuan Sect, your whole family will be struck by lightning that night. This shows how powerful the other party is."
"I have indeed seen some people who can control lightning after awakening their abilities, but after listening to the store owner's description, I'm afraid these people can't control lightning at all. They are just using lightning as an excuse to play tricks."
Sheng Tiance, who was standing next to him, knew that his younger sister had seen a fairy before, and nodded when he heard this.
"Well, the Xianyuan Cult loves to show off their magical powers to deceive the world. If they can really control lightning, wouldn't it be more shocking if they could use lightning to kill us in front of the whole city? Why would they wait until night when everyone is asleep to do it?"
Sheng Yichen snorted disdainfully, and continued:
"Of course they knew that the people were afraid of the gods and would not dare to come near to join in the fun at night. They made some noises similar to thunder and lightning, and before dawn, they arranged the surroundings to make it look like they were struck by lightning. Wouldn't the rumor spread?"
It was because they guessed this that they were relaxed and arranged many secret guards to ambush nearby, waiting to catch the other party in one fell swoop.
Sheng Nanxi listened carefully to what was happening on the other side and couldn't help frowning.
"There are at least two or three hundred highly skilled cultists gathered on the opposite side. If we fight them head-on, I'm afraid we will lose a lot of manpower."
As if she had thought of something, the little girl suddenly turned around and asked Gu Yuancheng: "Xiaocheng... can I borrow a large room from your inn?"
The little girl looked at him at a 45-degree angle. Her big, bright eyes were twinkling, and she was so cute that she almost melted Gu Yuancheng. He felt that he could play with anything.
"Of course you can. This inn is originally owned by me. Xiao Xier can do whatever you want here."
"I knew that Xiao Cheng is the spiciest!" Sheng Nanxi narrowed her eyes and smiled.
Gu Yuancheng's eyes were extremely gentle. He picked up the little girl and went to choose a room.
Sheng Yichen was stunned for a moment, always feeling that the little kid in front of him spoke to his little sister in a strange tone.
But on second thought, a teenager just likes to play with other kids of similar age, and it is impossible for him to have any extra thoughts.
"Let's go, what are you doing standing there?" Sheng Tiance took a few steps forward, and when he saw Sheng Yichen didn't move, he turned around and called him.
He has always been simple-minded and is not interested in fighting and killing. He is more rough than Sheng Yichen.
"Ah... Let's go and see how my little sister is going to arrange it!" Sheng Yichen rubbed his head. Glancing at the two children's innocent smiles, he confirmed that he was really overthinking.
After all, my little sister is only three years old, not even old enough to talk about the separation of boys and girls. The two little brats are close because they have a better relationship.
The two little kids chatted and laughed as they climbed to the largest private room on the top floor of the inn.
The two brothers followed without paying any attention, thinking that their little sister was just going to set up some traps for the other party.
As a result, the next second, Sheng Nanxi waved her hand, and all the tables, chairs, benches and various furnishings in the private room were put into the space.
With another wave of her hand, the large private room was instantly filled with more than thirty crossbows and several hundred sharp arrow feathers brought from the inner armory.
In the middle was a huge three-legged crossbow, known as the killer hand of the Southern Qi army!
It was the latest improvement made by the Internal Armaments Supervisory Team. The string strength was increased by adding golden silk threads, and the latest version was changed from the original three-arrow burst to the six-arrow burst.
It is said that the young emperor loved the improved version and named it "Shenwu Bed Crossbow". Even the fifth brother had never seen the real appearance of this killer before!
