In the Cape family's medical room, a man stood in front of the bed. His palm was glowing as he pressed on the wound on Buzz's abdomen.
Buzz's wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. It wasn't just the wound on his body. Even the wound on the Guardian armor healed rapidly. Soon, the wound disappeared completely.
"I'm incompetent. I'll have to trouble you to treat me personally," Buzz said as he stood up and bowed.
The man retracted his palm and said calmly, "It's not your fault. Mingxiu's swordsmanship has indeed reached an extremely high level. Not many people at the Mythical stage can withstand his strike. This matter ends here. What happens in the future has nothing to do with you or the Cape family. Just do what you need to do. "
"Sir … are you going to do it yourself?" Buzz's body trembled as he hurriedly asked.
He knew too well how terrifying this person was. Among the four directors of the League of Defender, although Hermit's reputation was not as great as that of Cave Era and Blood Shaman, anyone who knew him knew that this person might be more terrifying than Cave Era and Blood Shaman.
"Do what you need to do," the Hermit said.
"Yes, sir." Buzz hurriedly lowered his head.
After sending the Hermit out, he met Belle, who had come to visit him. Belle looked at the Hermit curiously. Buzz quickly pulled her to the side and introduced her to the Hermit. "Sir, this is my niece, Belle."
The Hermit nodded slightly and left the hospital without looking at Belle.
"Uncle Buzz, who was that? You seem very afraid of him." Belle asked curiously.
"Don't ask nonsense, kid. What are you doing here?" Buzz hurriedly stopped Belle and looked in the direction the Hermit had left. He heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that the Hermit had disappeared.
"Uncle Buzz, you really have no conscience. I came to see you out of goodwill, but you still have such an attitude," Belle said angrily.
"Alright, my little lady, I'm fine. I won't die. Don't worry," Buzz said dotingly.
"That Mingxiu is really despicable. I used to admire him so much, but he actually wanted to kill you. Fortunately, you are fine," Belle said.
Buzz shook his head and said, "He didn't want to kill me. Otherwise, my abdomen wouldn't have been injured."
"So that's how it is. In that case, he isn't too bad." Belle looked in the direction where the hermit had gone. Seeing that there was no one there, she asked in a low voice, "Uncle Buzz, was that man from the League of Defender? You were so afraid of him. He must be a senior member of the League of Defender, right?"
"I told you not to ask. Don't even mention anything about the League of Defender in the future, understand?" Buzz repeatedly reminded Belle.
Belle agreed verbally, but she was thinking about something in her mind.
After leaving the hospital, Belle found an excuse to return to school. When she arrived, she ran straight to the lounge where Zhou Wen and company were.
Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi sat in the lounge and chatted. Ming Xiu had been standing there motionless for quite a while.
Due to Tsukuyomi's words, it was unknown what Ming Xiu had comprehended, but the power in his body was undergoing an earth-shattering change.
This was an extremely dangerous moment, so Zhou Wen had no choice but to guard him and prevent anyone from disturbing him.
As he was chatting with Tsukuyomi, Zhou Wen suddenly sensed that someone was walking towards the lounge. Furthermore, the footsteps were very hurried. He used Truth Listener to scan carefully and realized that the person who had come was the girl they had met a few times on campus.
"Professor Ming, are you there?" Belle came to the lounge and knocked anxiously on the door.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Wen opened the door and asked, blocking it.
"Leave quickly. The people from the League of Defender want to kill Professor Ming," Belle immediately said in a low voice when she saw Zhou Wen.
"Didn't they come just now?" Zhou Wen said.
"Uncle Buzz only wants to defeat Professor Ming. He has no intention of killing him, but the upper echelons of the League of Defender are different. They really want Professor Ming's life. It's best you leave quickly. Leave quietly and don't be discovered. I believe he won't take action on campus because of the Cape family's reputation. If you leave campus, you have to be careful …" Before Belle could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a sudden voice.
"Why should I care about the Cape family's reputation?" The hermit's voice made Belle shiver. She turned her head and indeed, she saw a familiar figure walking over from the corridor.
He was wearing cloak-like clothes. Although it didn't completely cover his face, it was impossible to see him clearly.
The hermit walked forward step by step. His speed wasn't fast, but there seemed to be a unique rhythm to his footsteps. Every step he took seemed to be stepping on the heartbeat, causing people to feel flustered and their hearts to beat faster.
Belle took two steps back in fright. Zhou Wen pressed down on her shoulder and pulled her behind him.
"I've never seen you before. What's your name?" Zhou Wen asked when he saw that the person looked unfamiliar. He definitely hadn't seen him before.
"The moment I contracted the Guardian, my name no longer has any meaning. The Guardian's name is my name. You can call me Hermit," the hermit said as he walked.
"Hermit … He's one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the League of Defender …" Belle exclaimed softly as her face turned pale.
There were more than four Terror-grade existences in the League of Defender, but the Four Heavenly Kings were the most terrifying. Even the members of the six families feared the four Guardians like snakes and scorpions when they heard their names.
Belle finally knew why Buzz hadn't allowed her to ask. With this person around, even if the head of the Cape family came personally, he probably wouldn't be able to stop him from killing.
"You aren't his match. Run …" Belle turned around to persuade Ming Xiu to escape, but she saw him standing there motionless as though he hadn't heard her.
Belle wanted to walk over, but she was stopped by Tsukuyomi.
"He can't move now unless you want him to die," Tsukuyomi said indifferently.
Belle was instantly stunned. She carefully observed Ming Xiu and realized that something was amiss with him.
"Don't tell me he's breaking through?" Belle said with a complicated expression.
"Yes," Tsukuyomi answered with certainty.
"What should we do? Why does it have to be now?" Belle was anxious and momentarily at a loss for what to do.
"Wait for him to finish his breakthrough," Tsukuyomi said.
"How can we wait until then?" Belle didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If she could wait, she wouldn't be in such a hurry.
They could wait, but the hermit wouldn't.
Belle turned her head to look out the door. To her surprise, the hermit stood outside the door and didn't rush in.
"Hermit? I've never heard of him. What are you doing here? "Belle nearly spewed out a mouthful of blood when she heard that.
Provoking the hermit was equivalent to hanging oneself in front of Death.
