Chapter 13 The scumbag father begs Qingbao to save him
Su Xiao drew his weapon and slashed at the black aura, but it had no effect.
The clattering sounds were attacking everyone.
Su Mengmeng cried loudly out of fear, making the already dark and messy scene even more chaotic.
A cold wind howled, blowing Su Xiao directly down the cliff.
He managed to steady himself by plunging his sword into the ground.
Looking back, I saw a bottomless abyss.
He was just one step away from falling off the cliff and being smashed to pieces.
His soldiers were all bound and entangled by black energy, unable to move.
Old Madam Su had already been thrown out of the carriage and, along with Su Mengmeng, was tied to a tree by the black energy.
Su Xiao's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he shouted, "What kind of evil spirits are you? What grudge do I have against you that you want to kill us all?"
"Hahaha, Su Xiao, you've finally met your match, hehehe..."
"You shameless scoundrel! You stole military merits and still became a general! This is utterly outrageous!"
"No one will come to save you. You'll have to pay for our lives, hehehe..."
They shouldn't have died, but instead transformed into the most resentful and malevolent spirits, striking fear into the hearts of all.
Su Xiao frowned and retorted, "Nonsense! My military merits are earned through my bloody battles, how could they be stolen? You evil spirits, spouting nonsense! This is Great Xia, do you think I'm afraid of you!"
After saying that, he used the momentum to get up, took out the amulet hanging around his neck, and hung it on his sword.
He started hacking wildly at the black aura.
The black mist was enraged, obscuring the sky and whipping the winds toward the bottom of the cliff.
The faces of both Madam Su and Su Mengmeng were distorted by the wind, and waves rolled across their skin.
"Dad, waaaaah, please save me..."
"Son, son, I don't want to die..."
Su Xiao was momentarily distracted and was blown off the cliff. Fortunately, he had strong arms and managed to grab the edge of the cliff tightly.
It seems these ghosts are determined to kill me today.
Just then.
A voice came from not far away.
"Qingbao, have you noticed that we just walked through this area?"
"Mmm, I didn't expect these guys to still be here after so long. It's okay, Mommy can just follow Qingbao."
It's Sihe and Qingbao!
A glimmer of hope ignited in Su Xiao's eyes, and he struggled to peek out.
Amidst the swirling black mist, the short Qingbao walked ahead, holding a pen. The tip of the pen, dipped in red, was now radiating a crimson glow, like a burning flame.
The dark aura surrounding Qingbao quickly dissipated, only to regroup behind them as they passed by.
The judge's pen trembled at its tip, emitting a rebuke that only evil spirits and ghosts could hear:
"The judge has arrived—you all, get out of the way at once!"
The black mist dodged at an extremely fast speed, as if it were fleeing for its life.
Su Xiao recalled what his ancestors had said: Qingbao was a person blessed with good fortune, and evil spirits would not be able to harm her.
Like someone grasping at a straw, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Qingbao, Qingbao, come and save your dad! I'm here!"
"Sihe, Sihe, come save me!"
This morning, all the toughness he had shown towards the mother and daughter at the ancestral hall had vanished; at this moment, Su Xiao only hoped to survive.
He hoped his wife and daughter would hear his cries and come to his rescue.
Si He paused, then asked, "Qingbao, I think I heard your father shouting."
The two soldiers behind him also said, "Yes, I heard the general's shout too."
"But it's so dark here, where is the general?"
"Could they have gotten lost here too?"
Qingbao had already covered her ears, blinking her big, innocent eyes. "Then why didn't I hear anything?"
Si He raised an eyebrow. "If you didn't hear it, then I didn't hear it either. Let's go, it's dangerous here."
The two soldiers hesitated for a moment, but in the end they followed Qingbao.
After all, they had never seen such a strange road before. If they hadn't followed Qingbao, they might have died here without anyone knowing.
"You rebellious daughter, you rebellious daughter! You're not only leaving, but you're also taking my soldiers with you!"
Su Xiao was so angry he almost vomited blood. He could see that if someone came and helped him, he could run to Qingbao's side and be protected.
Unexpectedly, Qingbao clearly heard her cries for help, but still insisted on leaving with the others!
If I had known she was such an unfilial daughter, I should have beaten her to death in front of our ancestors in the ancestral hall!
Obviously.
Qingbao's appearance was like a sacred light in the surrounding dark fog.
Not only Su Xiao saw her.
Even Old Madam Su and Su Mengmeng saw it.
Seeing their heartlessness, Old Madam Su gritted her teeth and shouted, "Sihe, don't you want to know where your adoptive parents are?"
Before General Su became a general, his family lived together in Su Family Village.
The old lady and Sihe's adoptive parents were relatives and neighbors.
Si He and Su Xiao were childhood sweethearts, and their marriage was arranged when they were young.
After General Su made military achievements and was granted a residence in the capital by the imperial court, his entire family rose to prominence and no longer looked down on Si He.
Madam Su felt that it was normal for Si He to be unworthy of her son, because such a cold-hearted woman would not come to save her husband even when he cried for help; she was simply heartless.
If it were Si Yao, she would definitely risk her life to save them!
Hearing the old lady mention Sihe's adoptive parents.
Qingbao and Sihe stopped and looked towards Old Madam Su.
The red-glowing calligraphy brush in Qingbao's hand filled Su Mengmeng with fear, but also a touch of jealousy.
Last night, Qingbao was on the verge of death, but this pen appeared out of nowhere and saved her.
Now it seems that this pen is an even more valuable treasure than she imagined.
A look of greed crept into Su Mengmeng's eyes.
"Sister Qingbao, please come and save us! Grandma has so much to say to you."
Whenever Qingbao walks over, the surrounding black energy automatically gives way.
Once she and her grandmother were free, she made her grandmother snatch Qingbao's pen and give it to her!
With a hint of anxiety in her eyes, Si He and her daughter walked towards Old Madam Su after receiving Qingbao's nod.
The dark energy receded, making the two of them appear like gods descending from the darkness.
only.
The deity was still ten steps away from them, right at the edge of the halo.
The black aura in front of Madam Su had all disappeared, but the black aura binding her remained.
"What are you still standing there for? Take a step forward!" Old Madam Su could also clearly feel that the black energy was avoiding her and her daughter.
Therefore, he spoke up eagerly.
Si He didn't step forward, but asked coldly, "You just said that you know where my adoptive parents are?"
At that moment, Madam Su suddenly realized that Si He would not listen to her.
Her eyes darted around, "You'll tell me if you save Xiao'er first!"
She knew that Sihe's adoptive parents were very kind people in the village. They would rather suffer losses themselves than not help their neighbors, so they treated Sihe very well.
She didn't believe that Si He could let go of the parents who raised her.
"Sihe, if you don't save my son, I'll take this secret with me and jump off the cliff!"
"I'll make sure you never find them, not even for all eternity!"
