It was a tiring journey. When they arrived at the city gate, it was already midnight. The city gate had long been closed. It was Zhuge Qing who answered Wei Ting’s call three times before Wei Ting took out his token and opened the city gate.

He saw the streets, the mansion, and the little figure that he missed so much that his heart ached.

She squatted on the cold grass barefooted. Her clothes were thin, and her black hair fluttered in the cold wind.

She was holding a kettle in her hand. She was fiddling with something in the middle of the night.

When he left four years ago, she was still a milk ball even smaller than the triplets. In the blink of an eye, she had grown up like a sapling.

Zhuge Qing choked. He was blinded by the sandstorm, and even his eyes were red.

He opened his slightly dry lips and said in a hoarse and trembling voice,

“Xiyue…”

And let Othe

Wei Xiyue was a child immersed in her own world and was not sensitive to the outside world, but she immediately heard this call.

She turned her head in a daze and looked at the man in the wheelchair and a white cloak at the door.

The wind was cold, and his robe fluttered. His eyes were gentle and heavy.

The courtyard was wide and the road was long.

Wei Xiyue threw away the water bottle in her hand without a word, stood up, and ran towards him against the cold wind.

At this moment, he only hated that his legs could not stand up. He also wanted to run to her, to the longing that he had not been able to express for the past four years.

Wei Xiyue pounced heavily into his arms.

She was dirty and her small hands and face were dirty, but he didn’t mind at all. He held her muddy little body tightly in his arms, as if she weighed the weight of his life.

Mei Ji and the assassin followed. The two of them watched this scene from afar. Mei Ji was stunned.

She had never seen Sir in such a state.

She had been picked up by Sir among the dead. She was so hungry that she could not even chew on the bones of the dead. She was about to die, she thought.

Then she saw a hand reaching towards her.

At that moment, it was as if she had seen a god.

Sir became her faith.

For countless days and nights after that, she followed Sir. Sir loved to smile, but his smile did not reach his eyes. His heart would always be cold, perhaps even dead.

Sir was very close to them, but she always felt that he was very, very far away.

At this moment, Master hugged the little girl tightly, as if he wanted to use all his strength.

She suddenly felt that — the god had come to the mortal world.

The assassin did not have Mei Ji’s rich brain. In his heart, Sir was a human and not a god. However, it was precisely because of this that Sir had endured unimaginable pain and loneliness in the past four years. Now that Sir was back, he had regained his heart and his past.

He was happy for his Master.

Zhuge Qing… or to be precise, Wei Qing.

He lowered his head and looked at her gently. “Xiyue, do you know who I am?”

Wei Xiyue nodded and said in a nasal voice, “Father, the father planted by Xiyue.”

Wei Qing was stunned.

At this moment, Ping’er woke up in the room. The first thing she did was to see if Wei Xiyue had kicked the blanket away. Unexpectedly, when she touched the bed, she was gone!

She was frightened to death. Could it be that Young Miss had gone to water the plants again! What was she doing in the cold? Did she really think she could grow a father?

Sigh! Madam was really too much! Hurry up and tell Little Miss the truth. It was impossible to plant a father! Wasn’t this a lie?

Ping’er took Wei Xiyue’s cloak and hurriedly went out.

She had come to Madam Wei’s side three years ago and had never seen Wei Qing. Therefore, when she came to the courtyard and saw an unfamiliar man, she immediately screamed, “Ah!”

The scream alarmed Madam Wei and Baili Chen in the courtyard next door.

Baili Chen’s eyes widened. He stood up, grabbed the sword at the head of the bed, put on the white bamboo hat, and rushed out.

In their line of work, they slept with their clothes on at night in case they had to wear clothes when an assassin came. That would be fatal.

He followed the voice to Madam Wei’s courtyard and sensed two unfamiliar martial artists from afar. One of them was especially powerful. Without a word, he drew his sword and rushed towards the two of them.

The assassin pushed Mei Ji away and drew his saber.

The two of them fought fiercely.

Few people could withstand Baili Chen’s sword, but after three moves, the other party was actually unscathed.

He frowned slightly. Who was this person? His martial arts skills were so powerful.

The assassin’s evaluation of Baili Chen was the same. To be able to become Sir’s guard, his martial arts were unquestionable. It could be said that he had never encountered any opponent in the West Capital.

He thought that he would definitely be able to defeat the enemy in three moves

“Who are you?” Baili Chen asked.

The assassin said, “You’ll only be qualified to know my name if you defeat me.” Bai Lichen said coldly, “Then I’ll kill you. Anyway, I’m not interested!”

Ping’er’s cry was too loud. Not only did it alarm Baili Chen in the courtyard, but the women also heard it.

The first to wake up was Madam Chen.

She casually put on a robe, grabbed the red tassel spear, and rushed out.

On the way, she met Madam Jiang. Madam Jiang grabbed her sword and walked over hurriedly. “Third Sister-in-law! Did something happen to Mother? Did you hear her shout just now?”

Madam Chen nodded. “I heard it.”

Madam Jiang said seriously, “Looks like it’s not my imagination.”

Madam Chen looked in the direction of Madam Wei’s courtyard and frowned. “Someone is fighting. Baili Chen attacked. After 20 moves, the outcome is still undecided.”

Madam Jiang was shocked. “What? He didn’t decide the outcome in twenty moves? This has to be a perverted expert? However, Big Brother and Little Six aren’t here—”

Ghostfear went to fight with Ling Yun and was caught. This time, it even included Wei Liulang. The three of them sat in the cell and could be said to be very miserable.

Madam Lan quickly walked over. “Third Sister-in-law, Fifth Sister-in-law, did you hear it too?”

“Yes!” Madam Jiang nodded.

Madam Lan said coldly, “He didn’t come with good intentions. Xiyue is still in

Mother’s courtyard. It won’t be good if he catches the child and threatens the Wei family! Let’s go over quickly!”

Bai Lichen and the assassin were fighting fiercely. Mei Ji was good at hidden weapons, but she couldn’t interfere at all.

Finally, the two of them exchanged a palm strike and were ruthlessly shaken away by each other’s internal strength.

Now!

Mei Ji opened her fan and waved it against the wind, shooting out countless hidden weapons.

No sooner said than done, a wooden board flew over and hidden weapons hit the board in unison!

‘Who is it?” Mei Ji asked coldly.

After Madam Chen kicked the wooden board, she landed steadily in the empty space in front of Mei Ji.

“A woman?”

Mei Ji frowned. It was rare for women to practice martial arts, and it was even rarer for them to be powerful. She didn’t take the other party seriously and slashed at her.

Madam Chen did not dodge and punched her palm.

Mei Ji felt her arm go numb and the strength in her entire arm was scattered. She fell back heavily. Just as she was about to hit the big rock behind her, she flipped in the air and stepped back on the rock. She waved her fan and shot countless hidden weapons at Madam Chen.

Madam Chen waved her spear like a shield and blocked the hidden weapons one by one.

At the same time, Madam Lan and Madam Jiang arrived.

Madam Jiang said, “Third Sister-in-law, go to the courtyard and protect

Mother and Xiyue. Leave this woman to us!”

Madam Chen thought for a moment and said, “Be careful. She’s very troublesome.”

To be said to be troublesome by Madam Chen, it was an indication of how high the other party’s martial arts were.

Madam Lan opened the nine-section whip in her hand with a bang. “Don’t worry, Third Sister-in-law. We can deal with a mere assassin!”

The two of them surrounded Mei Ji and Madam Chen went to Madam Wei’s courtyard.

Madam Wei also came out of the house.

Ping’er quickly walked over and blocked her behind her. “Madam, don’t go over… That… that person… captured Young Miss… Don’t let him capture you too…”

After Wei Xiyue was captured, Madam Wei had to go over.

If they were here for the Wei family, she would be the hostage.

She had just taken a step when Madam Chen flew over and stabbed a red tassel spear into the ground, landing steadily in front of Madam Wei.

Wei Qing’s face was mostly blocked by Wei Xiyue’s small head. Madam Chen did not see his appearance clearly, but Madam Chen determined that he did not know martial arts and might not even be good at it. Otherwise, he would not be sitting in a wheelchair.

However, this person had at least a dozen hidden weapons on his wheelchair.

He was indeed a dangerous person!

Madam Chen pulled out her spear and took a step forward. She rose into the air and stabbed toward the other party’s head.

She had already calculated that this angle would definitely stab him to death and avoid the other party’s hidden weapon attack to the greatest extent.

Wei Qing looked up at Madam Chen and smiled. “Third Sister-in-law.”

Madam Chen was speechless!

This person, this face, this voice—

Madam Chen held her breath and fell with her spear!
