Chapter 51 Midnight Assassin
Shao Xian's words gave me a great shock. I have always regarded her as a good friend of mine in the Shao family, but under her sunny and energetic appearance, there is such an unfathomable city. With just one move of hers, she actually...
This caused the breakdown of my relationship with Mengzhu and Yingying.
"Empty name? It is true that intrigues and intrigues are inevitable in the arena, but if everything is weighed against interests and there is no sincerity at all, in the end it can only be betrayal and separation. Shao Xian, if we were friends before, then at this moment, we are
It's just the young masters of the Wu and Shao families." After saying that, I left my room. Although Shao Xian was still trying to say something, I stopped paying attention.
I walked straight to Mengzhu's room. As soon as I walked to the door, I heard Mengzhu crying inside, and Yingying seemed to be saying something.
"Mengzhu, don't cry. I don't believe that Ming'er is that kind of person. I think there is a misunderstanding." Yingying said.
"Is there any misunderstanding? It's not like you didn't see that Shao Xian kissed him." Mengzhu said.
When I heard this, I hurriedly opened the door and went in.
"What are you doing here! Get out!" Mengzhu was very excited.
"Don't get excited about Mengzhu first. Just listen to my explanation. It's not like that." I said.
"I won't listen, get out of here!" After Mengzhu said that, he drew out his Dao sword and stabbed me. I was so anxious at this moment that I just wanted to comfort Mengzhu, but my body actually stayed where I was without moving.
As a result, the sword stabbed directly into my shoulder. I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder and could barely stand upright.
"Tomorrow!" Yingying's eyes widened and she hurried over.
"You, why don't you hide?" The Dao sword in Mengzhu's hand fell to the ground, and she stayed where she was. It was obvious that she had not expected this scene.
"Don't be angry at Mengzhu. Listen to my explanation. I'm really not sorry for you." I said weakly.
"Stop talking, come here and lie down." Yingying hurriedly went to find trauma medicine. Mengzhu was a little panicked, but she quickly helped me lie down first.
After a simple bandage, Yingying said: "You tell me, I'll listen."
"Shao Xian and I have nothing to do with each other. She did that on purpose to provoke conflicts between us." I said.
"Why?" Yingying said.
"Because she wants me to be hers, so that it can help her gain a foothold in the Shao family." I said.
Mengzhu and Yingying showed incomprehensible expressions, so I had to explain the whole incident clearly. Mengzhu said: "I never expected that Shao Xian is such a person."
"Well, actually I can understand her. That feeling of helplessness is really uncomfortable." Yingying said.
"Yes, so I don't want to make things completely deadlocked. If there is a chance in the future, I hope to change her." I said.
"Change her? How?" Mengzhu said.
"I haven't thought about it yet, but I think it must be uncomfortable for a person to feel helpless. I am willing to be his friend. Although Grandpa Wu always teaches me to think more and figure out more, I still believe in the so-called Taoist people.
It’s not just Taoism, there must also be morality.” I said.
"Okay, what about now? What should we do?" Yingying said.
"Let's proceed as normal. I'll go see Fifth Grandpa tomorrow and agree on a time to go to Gui Men Guan." I said.
"Then you should have a good rest. It's all my fault that you were injured tomorrow." Mengzhu said very guiltily.

"It's okay, Mengzhu. It's just a skin injury. Don't worry about it. Just don't be angry." I said.
After a brief chat, I took a rest first. The blood loss in a short period of time made me a little dizzy. Mengzhu and Yingying went to sleep in another room first.
Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, I felt someone in the house in a daze. I alertly activated the seven-aperture seal to sense the presence in the house.
Sure enough, there was a person standing outside my bed. Since this was Mengzhu's room and there were curtains around the bed, I couldn't see who this person was, but I could maintain my own Taoism.
: "Who is outside? Dare to disturb me?"
The man heard me speak and didn't answer, but I heard a very slight sound of a sharp knife cutting through the air. I hurriedly jumped up from the bed, looked back, and with the help of Night Eyes, only
Seeing a dagger stuck on the pillow I was just lying on, I immediately put my hands on the bed, jumped up into the air with my feet, and kicked out of the curtain.
Because of the curtain, people outside didn't know my movements, so I kicked him firmly with both feet. I heard the sound of a table being knocked over outside, and I wanted to rush out, but there was a sharp pain on my shoulder.
The pain made me unable to hold on for a moment and I lay on the bed.
At this moment, there was the sound of the door being knocked open. I opened the curtain and saw that there was no one. I knew that the person had escaped, but who could this person be?
Just when I was about to stand up, Mengzhu, Yingying, Dad and Fifth Grandpa all heard the sound of furniture being knocked over and hurried in. Dad saw that my shoulder was bandaged and said
:
"What's wrong with you tomorrow?"
"Um...it's okay, I got scratched accidentally." I said.
"It was me who caused this, senior brother." Mengzhu said.
Then Mengzhu told the whole story, and her father said: "Oh, it's not easy for every family. By the way, Ming'er, what happened just now?"
"Someone seems to be coming to kill me, but I don't know who he is." I said.
"Could it be Shao Xian? Doesn't she always say she wants to kill you?" Mengzhu asked.
"It is also possible that they are from Gongsun Yang or the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, just like the Cat Claw sisters before." Dad said.
"I don't know, but that man struck quickly and accurately. He stabbed my neck and head with a dagger, which is not like ordinary people." I said.
"You mean the killer?" Yingying said.
"I'm not sure, but he must be an assassin. I don't seem to know anyone like this in the Shao family." I said.
"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow. Let's go and have a rest. I'll stay with Ming'er tonight." Dad said.
Everyone went back to their rooms. My father settled me down and read a book on the table outside. He said to me: "Go to bed tomorrow. Your mother won't be here. If I know you are injured, your mother will definitely not be able to spare me."
I thought of my mother and felt a warmth in my heart. In this night full of surprises, only this moment can give me a moment of peace. I don't know what will be waiting for me tomorrow morning.
Early the next morning, I went to Grandpa Wu’s room.
"Fifth Grandpa, when are we going to the Gate of Hell?" I said.
"Let's go today. I'll call everyone from the Shao family over later. I'll explain some things to everyone, and then we can set off." Fifth Grandpa said.
I chatted with Grandpa Wu for a while, Mengzhu and

Yingying also came. After I briefly explained the situation to them, I asked Yingying to go to Dongjue to explain the situation.
After a while, Dong Jue came.
"Junior brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you injured?" Dong Jue said.
I told everything about what happened last night and quietly watched Dong Jue's reaction.
Dong Jue was very surprised at first, and then said with an expression that seemed to be expected: "Junior brother, the eldest lady may be a little too impatient, but believe me, she is not a bad person, she just may cherish the good things of others too much."
After hearing this, I immediately said: "Brother, you are unreasonable. Shao Xian is obviously too selfish. What does it have to do with others being nice to her? Does she have to treat others like this if she is nice to her?
?”
"Don't get excited, junior brother, let's not talk about this for now. I heard Leng Yue said that he would go to the Gate of Hell today, right? Is there anything we need to do?" Dong Jue didn't want to conflict with me, so he changed the topic.
"Go and ask my Fifth Grandpa." I said with dissatisfaction at this time.
"It's like this. First of all, there needs to be a room big enough for all of us to lie down side by side. At the same time, we need a pillow long enough, because we all need to lie on the same pillow." Grandpa Wu said.
.
"Why is this, Senior Fade?" Dong Jue said.
"The essence of soul wandering is actually that when we fall asleep, the body reaches a state of complete relaxation, and at this time, the soul can escape from the body. At this time, through Taoism, the soul can be guided into the netherworld. The so-called same pillow is for
Let all our souls be in the same range. Since souls are extremely mobile, if we don't do this, although our souls will enter the netherworld, it will be difficult for them to be together." Fifth Grandpa explained.
"Okay, I understand, Senior Fade. I'm going to find someone to sew pillows. As for the rooms, the Shao family has a lot of big rooms. I don't have to worry about this. I'll leave first. I'll come back after the things are done.
Junior brother, don't be angry, we still need to cooperate first." Dong Jue said.
After listening to Dong Jue's words, I knew in my heart that this senior brother was indeed a person with general knowledge, so I said: "Senior brother, don't worry, I know what to do."
Watching Dong Jue leave, Fifth Grandpa said: "Your senior brother is still very reasonable. It seems that Ling Lun is very accurate in judging people."
"Fifth Grandpa, you don't praise others easily." I said with a smile.
"You can't say that. Ling Lun is an ancient senior. It's my turn to praise you. What I mean is that your sect is indeed a famous and decent sect. Dong Jue has a feeling of being able to rise out of the mire and remain unsullied in the Shao family." Fifth Grandpa said.
arrive.
"Master, you really don't use curse words when swearing." Yingying said.
Everyone started to laugh, but I could clearly feel that everyone was actually a little nervous, perhaps because of fear of the unknown. After all, this is the gate of hell. In such a place of right and wrong, the future is really uncertain.
After lunch, Dong Jue came to Fifth Grandpa's room and said: "Senior, we have mobilized all the Shao family members to prepare pillows, and it will be completed soon."
"Thank you for your hard work, Dongjue." Fifth Grandpa said, stroking his beard.
"Don't say that. This trip is for us, the eldest son of the Shao family. You have risked your lives. Dong Jue would like to thank you all. In the future, wherever you are useful, you will be able to get me, through mountains of swords and seas of fire." Dong Jue was excited.
Speaking of.
"Brother, I'm serious. Now that the Wu and Shao families are cooperating, these are what we should do." I said.
