Ji Minglou questioned, “Why did you do that?”
Madam Ru’s eyes flashed. “What do you mean?”
Ji Minglou said coldly, “Don’t play dumb. Even if he’s not your biological son, he’s still a life!”
Madam Ru said, “I know my limits, Brother.”
Ji Minglou glared at her and left coldly.
Madam Ru returned to the room and asked Cai Lian to guard outside.
Min Ningwan hugged the young master in her arms and asked, “What did your brother say to you?”
Madam Ru said as if nothing had happened, “It’s nothing, Mother. You said that Pavilion Master Lou is someone you can trust. Is that true?”
Min Ningwan said, “Why are you suddenly asking this?”
Madam Ru said, “I want him to do me a favor.”
“What favor?”
“s.n.a.t.c.h Duanmu Yun’s daughter.”
–
In the backyard, Madam Pavilion Master asked Su Xiaoxiao, “Second Young Madam, I’ve done what I promised you. What about what you promised me?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Madam, please cooperate.”
Madam Pavilion Master asked suspiciously, “What do you want to do?”
Fifteen minutes later, two a.s.sa.s.sins suddenly barged into the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion and went straight to Madam Ru’s room. They injured the guards at the door and entered the room to s.n.a.t.c.h the young master.
Min Ningwan and Cai Lian tried their best, but it was useless.
Madam Ru hugged the young master tightly and refused to let go. Seeing this, the a.s.sa.s.sin simply kidnapped her and the young master!
During the process of being captured, two a.s.sa.s.sins accidentally entered the Seventh Miss’s wedding room.
Seventh Miss fought with the two of them and was kidnapped.
Lou Bufan and Xiahou Qing personally led people to chase after him.
On the way to fight the a.s.sa.s.sins, Xiahou Qing s.n.a.t.c.hed back his son, but the two of them were extremely cunning. Madam and Seventh Miss were still in their hands.
“Into the forest!”
Lou Bufan gritted his teeth. “City Lord, bring the Little Master back first to avoid delaying the Little Master’s treatment. I’ll chase after them!”
Xiahou Qing looked at his unconscious son. This was the only way.
He left his guards to Lou Bufan and asked him to lead them to search the dense forest.
Everyone split up.
He was about to catch up a few times and let the other party escape a few times.
When they arrived near a waterfall, Lou Bufan used his qinggong to block the path of an a.s.sa.s.sin.
Lou Bufan threatened, “You can’t escape! Get your companion to hand them over! I can consider sparing your lives. Otherwise, I’ll let you die without a burial ground!”
The a.s.sa.s.sin said, “If you kill me, you’ll never find them!”
“Is that so?”
Lou Bufan leaped forward at an unbelievable speed and grabbed the other party’s throat. “I’ll count to three. If you don’t hand him over, I’ll let your head fall to the ground first! One, three, three!”
“Grandfather—”
It was Seventh Miss’s cry.
Lou Bufan sent the other party flying with a palm strike. He came to the waterfall and looked down.
In the rapid waterfall, Seventh Miss and Madam Ru were hung by two slender ropes as the water ruthlessly washed over the two of them.
Seventh Miss was a martial artist and could barely withstand it, let alone Madam Ru.
Lou Bufan’s expression changed.
Right on the heels of that, he noticed that two ropes were connected to the tree opposite.
Another a.s.sa.s.sin stood in the treetops.
He held a cold sword in his hand and looked down at Lou Bufan.
Lou Bufan made a prompt decision and said, “Little brother, let’s talk things out. No matter who sent you, I can give you a higher reward, ten times the reward! I definitely won’t send people to chase after you. I, Lou Bufan, will do as I say!”
The a.s.sa.s.sin did not seem satisfied with the reward. His sword gestured gently at the two ropes.
It was as if he was considering which one to cut off first.
Seeing that the bribery did not work, Lou Bufan changed to coercion. “Little brother, you should understand the consequences of offending the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion and the City Lord Manor. If you hurt them today, I promise you that the two of you will never walk out of Thousand Mountain Island alive!”
“Grandfather! Save me—”
Seventh Miss cried loudly.
Madam Ru did not even have the strength to cry.
She had just given birth two months ago and her body had yet to completely recover. How could she withstand such a powerful waterfall?
Lou Bufan wanted to go back and catch the a.s.sa.s.sin just now.
However, as long as he moved, the man’s sword on the treetop immediately reached under the two ropes.
Lou Bufan blamed himself for being too concerned. He should not have sent the other party flying, but should have kept the other party as a hostage.
He could only blame himself for not expecting the two of them to be so cunning as to set up a trap in the waterfall.
“Sir, why don’t we talk?”
Lou Bufan even changed the way he addressed him.
He grabbed the mechanism box in his sleeve without leaving a trace.
The Thousand Possibilities Pavilion had started with mechanisms, so he naturally had many treasures.
However, the two of them were too far away. It was difficult to save them at the same time.
The best way was to kill the other party in one strike.
However, if he failed and the other party cut the rope in a fit of anger, it would be hopeless of the both of them.
Lou Bufan guided him patiently. “If you don’t want the remuneration, I can give you a martial arts secret manual. In fact, as long as you’re willing, I can set up a new sect for you!”
He tried his best to stabilize the other party and stall for time, waiting for the others to arrive.
The man on the treetop seemed to have seen through his intentions. With a wave of his sword, he cut the two ropes under his feet!
“Ah—”
“Ah—”
Seventh Miss and Madam Ru screamed in fear.
Lou Bufan shot out a hidden weapon from his sleeve and wrapped it around the tree behind him.
He pulled the rope from the hidden weapon and jumped down.
He only had one hand and could only save one.
“Grandfather!”
Seventh Miss’s eyes lit up.
In the next second.
Her eyes darkened. “Grandpa…”
Her grandfather swept past her and caught the falling Madam Ru.
Lou Bufan carried the disheveled Madam Ru ash.o.r.e.
He had just gently placed the coughing Madam Ru on the gra.s.s when he felt the light above his head dim.
His heart skipped a beat and he slowly looked up.
“Madam?”
