Even though they had only met once, Fei Xi could instantly recognize the person who pulled her; he was the second "Shi Shu" she had ever met.
"Miss Chunyu, who is this cousin you're talking about?"
"Chun Yuyou!"
The "Servant," who was pulling Fei Xi along as they ran, answered Fei Xi's question and then said nothing more, only focusing on pulling Fei Xi forward at breakneck speed. It seemed as if she was afraid that if she was a step too late, an irreversible tragedy would occur.
Although Chunyu and his wife vehemently denied that Qin Lan had not been brought back by Chunyu You, Fei Xi always felt that Chunyu You must know some inside information.
Putting aside the fact that healing and saving lives is a doctor's instinct, Fei Xi had to make this trip just to find Qin Lan's whereabouts.
The two quickly traversed the long corridor, passed through three moon gates, and arrived at a courtyard.
As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, before even entering the room, Fei Xi smelled a salty, metallic odor resembling rust.
How could there be such a strong smell of blood?
Suspicious, Fei Xi paused slightly, then hastily released the "Servant" she had led her to and rushed into the room.
"Fifth Brother, I've brought Miss Fei to rescue you!"
Elder Miao and Elder Li, who arrived later, also noticed the strange smell. The three exchanged glances and followed Fei Xi into the room one after the other.
On the ebony floor, a trail of blood, still wet, flowed from the inner room to the doorway. Through the beaded curtains of the inner room, Fei Xi could vaguely see a corpse lying on the floor, its body cleaved in two.
The "Servant" who entered the gate earlier had long since disappeared without a trace.
Not good!
Even though she already guessed that this was aimed at her, Fei Xi suppressed her surprise and did not flee immediately. Instead, she resolutely stepped on the bloodstains on the ground and rushed into the inner room.
Upon closer inspection, Fei Xi immediately recognized the body cut in half on the ground as Chunyu You's.
On that no longer handsome face, there was a faint smile, and beneath his unseeing eyes, there seemed to be some traces of water.
The corpse had an expression of resignation to its death, and no matter how you looked at it, it exuded an eerie aura.
"Girl, what's going on?"
"This swordsmanship? Hmm?!"
"Grandpa Li, it's your raging tide that breaks through the mountains!"
Before Fei Xi could finish speaking, another group of people rushed in through the door. Madam Chunyu, who was leading the group, hadn't even stepped into the room before she began her accusations:
"Miao Shouyi, Li Renfeng, why did you kill my maids?!"
After Madam Chunyu finished speaking, she stepped into the room, and her face, which had been faintly showing anger, instantly turned to fear.
A sharp, agonizing scream echoed throughout the room:
"No, Yu'er!!!"
"You take the girl and go first!"
Before Fei Xi could speak, she was thrown out of the open window by a tremendous force and landed on a broad back.
Finally, all that met Fei Xi's eyes was a crimson expanse.
In the fiery red world, people kept rushing forward, adding a touch of crimson to the heavens and earth with their own blood.
In a dark corner of the alley, Fei Xi groped in the darkness to apply some medicine to Miao Lao's wound.
She dared not make a sound.
Old Miao carried her away from Chunyu Mansion, and wherever they went, a group of people would appear to chase after them.
Miao Lao intended to take her back to the boat, but before they even reached the dock, they saw the boat captain and Chunyu Xiao standing side by side in the distance.
Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, as soon as he turned around, Elder Miao saw Chen Mancang, the head of the Chen family, standing behind the two of them.
But the smile of relief on Old Miao's face lasted only a moment. In the blink of an eye, a sword appeared in Old Miao's abdomen.
"You eight great families are going to betray your master?!"
"We must never betray our master! Loyalty to our master doesn't mean I can't make money. Miao Shouyi, let you die knowing why, someone is willing to pay a high price for this little girl." The old man, beaming with joy, pointed at Fei Xi, his eyes filled with the delight of finding a large sum of silver.
But the next second, the head of the Chen family fell to the ground in terror.
Fei Xi coldly put away the bottle in her hand, picked up Miao Lao, and fled into a secluded alley.
Although the Chen family head was the only one in front of her, killing him now would be better. But she couldn't finish him off; she was gambling that no one else would come after her.
With Old Li's fate uncertain, she couldn't let Old Miao get hurt too!
Fortunately, as night fell, Fei Xi, relying on divination to predict good and bad fortune, carried Elder Miao and evaded wave after wave of searches.
Only when they reached this pitch-black alley corner did Fei Xi dare to put down the unconscious Old Miao and apply medicine and bandage his wounds.
We can only rest here temporarily; once it gets light, their whereabouts will likely be exposed.
The country has a total of 32 cities. The lord of Xianheng City has always been a member of the Chunyu family, so the Chunyu family's ancestral home is located in Xianheng City.
Now that Chunyu You is dead, Fei Xi and her group have been framed as the murderers of Chunyu You.
At this moment, the entire city of Xianheng must be turned upside down to find the two of them; there is no safe place in the city.
Leaning against the cold wall, I draped my coat over Old Miao. The land was warm everywhere, only the nights were a bit chilly.
Fei Xi wasn't cold, but she was hungry and her mind was in turmoil. From the Chen family head's words, she could tell that the Chen family was involved because someone was trying to buy her life.
But what about Chunyu's family? Why would "Shishu" want to harm her? Who killed Chunyu You? And why would the person who killed him frame Old Li?
Fei Xi felt that everything was shrouded in mystery, and she was trapped in it, like a chess piece that could only be manipulated by others.
Fei Xi forced herself to rest for a while. Just as her mind was clearing and she was half asleep, she suddenly heard a loud noise.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw flames shooting into the sky in the distance, illuminating most of the sky.
The place was in an uproar, the clamor of the crowds like waves, one after another, destroying all order.
From the faint shouts, Fei Xi heard that the Chunyu family head was dead, the Chen family head was dead, the mine had exploded, and the Chunyu family was gone...
Fei Xi led Elder Miao to hide in a semi-abandoned cellar.
There were hardly any people searching for them in the city anymore, but Fei Xi still didn't dare to take Elder Miao out.
Overnight, all members of the Chunyu family and the eight major families in charge of affairs in Xianheng City were wiped out.
After settling Elder Miao in, Fei Xi disguised herself and set off to find Elder Li.
But as soon as she arrived near Chunyu Mansion, she saw that the once magnificent mansion was now a ruin.
Fei Xi learned from the local people that a huge fireball that fell from the sky had destroyed the entire Chunyu family.
Everyone in Chunyu's family died.
"It's a miracle from our master! The Chunyu family must have done something to anger the gods, and our master is furious!"
A group of people were bowing and kowtowing in worship toward the ruins.
Where is Elder Li? Is Elder Li still alive?
Fei Xi tried to rush into the ruins, but was stopped before she could take two steps.
Fei Xi was dragged to a corner by the newcomer, who ripped off her disguise. A deep, enigmatic look flashed in the newcomer's eyes.
"It's really you!"
"Young Master Chen, what exactly happened?"
Before Fei Xi could get an answer, someone grabbed her by the neck.
Chen Jinwang's eyes were slightly red, and he gritted his teeth, forcefully pulling his hand apart.
"You killed my grandfather!"
