Logically speaking, with her cultivation level, she shouldn't only see such superficial things.
There is only one possibility in this situation: someone has tampered with Xiao Jiu's fate.
It's alright, she can investigate further later!
"Huo Fei has gone out on business today and will probably be back later."
Qiqi frowned and calculated for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's okay, Uncle Huo Fei will be fine today. When he comes back tomorrow, remember to tell him to come find me!"
"Okay, Miss Qiqi."
Huo Yong turned and went out to disinfect Qi Qi's silver needles.
"Tired?" Huo Yusen asked softly when he saw Qiqi yawn.
Qiqi nodded, her eyes almost closed.
I'm so tired today. The rescue this afternoon took a huge toll, and the IV fluids I received couldn't replenish it at all.
That night, she forced herself to give acupuncture to her fourth brother and ninth brother, and also drew talismans for her bodyguard uncle. She felt that her spiritual energy was almost used up.
Seeing how sleepy she was, Huo Yusen reached out and touched her head: "If you're sleepy, lie down and sleep. I'll take your hair out for you."
"Thank you, Brother Xiao Jiu." Qi Qi grinned sweetly, then closed her eyes.
Because she had just taken a nap, the little tufts on her head had mostly fallen off, and it wasn't difficult to take them off.
However, Huo Yusen was afraid of hurting her, so he was very careful and it took him a long time to remove all the rubber bands.
After he finished dismantling it, he went to check on Qiqi, and the little girl was already fast asleep, snoring softly.
Her adorable appearance made Huo Yusen smile, and he reached out to ruffle the little girl's messy hair before carefully lying down beside her.
Just as I was about to close my eyes to rest, the little girl who had been sleeping suddenly came over to me.
She pulled his arm to hold him, rested her head on his shoulder, rubbed against him like a cat, and fell back into a peaceful sleep.
Knock knock knock!
In the darkness, whose heartbeat seemed to have become erratic?
****
The next morning, Huo Yusen was woken up by a chubby little leg that suddenly came crashing down on him.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Qiqi clinging to him like a koala.
The little girl's face was rosy as she slept, and her thick, curled eyelashes were as beautiful as butterfly wings. Even without opening her eyes, Huo Yusen could imagine how well-behaved and adorable her big, dark, grape-like eyes would be when she opened them.
Huo Yusen's lips unconsciously curled up, and before the smile could spread across his face, his big, beautiful eyes opened.
With a touch of morning dampness, it was soft and tender, enough to melt anyone's heart.
"Good morning, Little Nine Brother." Qiqi grinned and greeted him sweetly.
Huo Yusen's smile, which hadn't even gotten up yet, immediately became even brighter. He reached out and ruffled Qiqi's hair: "Good morning."
"What time is it?" Qiqi stretched.
Huo Yusen glanced at the time on his wristwatch: "Seven o'clock."
"Oh no, it's time for morning lessons." Qiqi jumped out of bed and slid back down into bed with her little body arched.
Then I sat cross-legged on the carpet by the window, closed my eyes, made a mudra with my palms facing up, and began my morning prayers.
Seeing how self-disciplined the little girl was, Huo Yusen smiled and got up to change his clothes, preparing to take his wheelchair to wash up.
Just as Huo Yong got out of bed, Huo Fei pushed open the door and came in.
Huo Fei was in a disheveled state, with an injured arm. As soon as he entered, a strong smell of blood wafted out, making Huo Yusen frown involuntarily.
"Young Master, last night..."
"Shut up!" Huo Yusen glanced at the unaffected little girl with her eyes closed, then coldly spat out two words at Huo Fei, "Get out!"
Huo Yong then realized that he had forgotten that Miss Qiqi had rested in the young master's room last night.
Young Master is annoyed by their noise and the smell of blood on Huo Fei, fearing it might disturb Miss Qi Qi.
Realizing what was happening, Huo Yong quickly pulled Huo Fei back before he could speak, saying, "Sorry, young master, let's go out first and come back in later."
"No, young master..."
Huo Yusen's expression instantly turned cold and stern.
Huo Yong covered Huo Fei's mouth and forcefully dragged him out.
Looking at the closed door and the quiet room, Huo Yusen's furrowed brows finally relaxed slightly.
He glanced back at Qiqi and, seeing that she was unaffected, turned around and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Unbeknownst to them, Qiqi behind them curled the corner of her lips into a smile.
People in the Xuanmen sect are not sensitive to anything, and she noticed when the two bodyguard uncles came in.
However, since Little Nine didn't want them to interfere with his morning lessons, she naturally wouldn't go against his good intentions.
When Huo Yusen finished washing up and came out, Qiqi was still meditating. He didn't disturb her, but slid his wheelchair out the door.
Outside the door, Huo Fei had already treated his wounds and was waiting with Huo Yong to report on what happened last night to Huo Yusen.
Seeing the young master open the door and come out, Huo Fei immediately stepped forward. Huo Yong pulled him back, glanced inside, and saw that Miss Qi Qi was still meditating. He lowered his voice and said, "Young master, Huo Fei has something very important to report to you. Let's go to the side and talk."
"Hmm." Huo Yusen maneuvered his wheelchair and glided it down the corridor.
Huo Yong and Huo Fei followed behind him. After they reached the end of the road, Huo Fei immediately reported.
“Young Master, last night you instructed me to go to the Jiang family to retrieve something. On my way back, I discovered that someone was following me.”
Huo Fei's expression was grave. "Judging from their skills, they are professional assassins, and there are quite a few of them. Young Master, we need to be extra careful when we go out these days."
Before retiring, Huo Fei was a top special forces soldier.
Needless to say, his skills are exceptional; he could easily take on ten people at once.
But the fact that someone could injure him and take it so seriously proves that the other party is definitely not an ordinary ruthless character.
“But yesterday, the old lady specifically called and told the young master that he must attend a banquet the day after tomorrow.” Huo Yong had a headache, then suddenly remembered what Miss Qiqi had said last night, and looked down at Huo Yusen, “Young master, last night Miss Qiqi said that I would face a death calamity within three days, could it be…”
Those people will likely take advantage of the young master's absence at the banquet to make their move.
Huo Yusen had also thought of this, and said with a stern face, "Let's wait until Qiqi finishes her morning lessons and then we'll talk about it."
If Huo Fei also faces a life-threatening situation, then it's almost certain that the other party will make their move the day after tomorrow.
"Is it mandatory to attend this banquet?" Huo Fei had faced those people head-on before and was aware of their skills and the level of danger they posed.
He felt that with just him and Huo Yong, plus the young master's limited mobility, they probably wouldn't be able to guarantee the young master's safety from those people.
Huo Yong nodded: "The old lady specifically instructed that it's very important, we must go!"
Huo Fei frowned: "Then could you let Miss Qiqi..."
"No!" Huo Fei was rejected by Huo Yusen before he could finish speaking.
"Young Master, Miss Qiqi may be young, but her talismans are very powerful. Perhaps..."
Huo Yusen looked at him coldly and said, word by word, "I said, no!"
