Tang Li's hair was disheveled, and his wedding robes were in tatters. He hadn't even caught his breath before Long Fei Ye dragged him out of the Duke of Qin's estate.
"Wait …"
Fine, he'd better catch his breath before speaking. He'd fled on the way to the bridegroom's wedding by following Long Fei Ye's route. Everything had gone smoothly, but he'd still been ambushed – not by the Tang Clan, but by the bride's side of the family.
His father had told him that the woman he was marrying came from a powerful family, but he'd never taken that to heart. He'd never even heard of the other party's background or the bride's identity. Even now, he was still unclear.
But after being ambushed, he was truly curious about the other party's origins.
They were too powerful!
Fifty top-notch experts had attacked together, completely wiping out Long Fei Ye's men. He'd used up all of his Pear Blossom Rain Needles to escape the encirclement.
Over the past few days, he'd forgotten about eating, drinking, shitting, and sleeping. All he knew was to run as fast as he could to avoid being caught. Even after entering Tianning's capital city gates, he was still on guard. Only at the Duke of Qin's estate did he dare to relax.
After panting a few times, Tang Li was about to speak when his vision darkened and he fainted.
The distance between the Tang Clan and Tianning's capital city was enough to run two horses to death. It wasn't that he was weak, but that he'd exceeded his biological limits!
Long Fei Ye couldn't help but knit his brows when he saw Tang Li faint. "Useless thing!"
Despite his displeasure, Long Fei Ye still personally helped Tang Li back and settled him in a guest room.
The last secret letter from the Tang Clan said that Tang Li had run into an ambush on his way out, but didn't go into details.
After waiting for a few days without receiving any follow-up letters, Long Fei Ye grew worried and sent out his guards to investigate. Before they returned, he'd already seen Tang Li return without any injuries, so Long Fei Ye had nothing to worry about.
No matter what price he had to pay, as long as Tang Li successfully escaped from the marriage, he would not mind.
This time, not only did he want to save Tang Li, but more importantly, he didn't want Han Yunxi to go to the Tang Sect, so he sent a lot of people to rescue Tang Li.
Tang Li slept for a day and a night. Long Fei Ye was worried and asked the imperial physician to check his pulse. Fortunately, he was just overly tired and nothing serious happened.
Finally, he woke up at daybreak.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Long Fei Ye drinking tea alone by the window. Tang Li was sleepy and asked in a daze, "Brother, am I dreaming?"
"Where's the Torrential Pear Blossom Needles?" Long Fei Ye asked. He had searched but could not find it.
Tang Li felt wronged. "Bro, don't you care about what I've been through?"
"Didn't you escape?" Long Feiye retorted.
"Aren't you curious about how I escaped?" Tang Li asked again.
"It's good that you escaped," Long Fei Ye said.
There was no follow-up letter, which meant that all the hidden guards had been killed. Who else could have ambushed Tang Li and killed all his hidden guards besides Tang Zijin and Aunt Ru, who knew his hidden guards very well?
He had no interest in the Tang Sect, especially Tang Zijin and Aunt Ru's matters. He only wanted results.
Tang Li obviously knew Long Fei Ye's temper. He said faintly, "Bro, it wasn't my father or Aunt Ru. It was the woman's force! There were fifty first-class experts. I used up all the hidden weapons I had on me to escape. "
Long Fei Ye looked over at him. "The woman's side?"
"My father and Aunt Ru didn't expect the path you arranged. I don't know how the woman's group found out. It wasn't a coincidence. They had set up an ambush!" Tang Li said seriously.
"What's their background?" Long Fei Ye was serious now.
"I don't know. I wanted to ask you!" Tang Li was helpless.
Long Fei Ye threw him a sharp look. He couldn't be bothered to say anything. If the groom didn't care who the bride was, why would he care?
Fine, these two brothers didn't care about the marriage at all. No matter who he married, Tang Li was determined to run away from the marriage.
The woman's side was so strong. Long Fei Ye would naturally send people to investigate.
"What about the Pear Blossom Storm Needles?" Long Fei Ye was more concerned about this.
"Didn't you say … I used up all the hidden weapons on me?" Tang Li said timidly.
"Including the Pear Blossom Storm Needles?" Long Fei Ye was surprised again.
Tang Li didn't know why Long Fei Ye wanted him to bring the Pear Blossom Storm Needles. He only knew that Long Fei Ye had to use them. But now, from his reaction, it didn't seem that important anymore.
"It seems like your fiancée's background is not small." Long Fei Ye was really curious now.
As for Gu Qi Sha, he already had the other Serpent Fruit. He didn't have to worry about Gu Qi Sha's Serpent Fruit threatening him. He alone was more than enough to deal with Gu Qi Sha.
He only wanted Tang Li to go with him because he wanted to kill Gu Qi Sha in one move. It didn't matter if he didn't have the Pear Blossom Storm Needles. He could slowly play with them.
Seeing that Long Fei Ye didn't pursue the matter, Tang Li was a hundred times more relieved.
If Tang Zijin knew that Tang Li had used up the second most powerful treasure in the Tang Sect to run away from the marriage, he would probably beat Tang Li to death.
Tang Li told himself to never go back. It was too scary.
"Could it be someone from the City of Assassins?" Long Fei Ye asked.
Both the City of Daughters and Carefree City were cities of assassins. These two powers couldn't be underestimated. Long Fei Ye had always wanted to rope them in, but Long Fei Ye wasn't willing.
"I don't care who it is. I'm not going back."
Tang Li got off the bed with a serious expression. "Big Brother, I've thought it through. From now on, I'll be following you."
After this life-and-death struggle, Tang Li hated his father even more. His father wasn't really in a hurry to have a grandchild. He was just using his marriage to rope in powerful forces for the Tang Sect.
He began to suspect that his father and Aunt Ru weren't loyal to Long Fei Ye, but to their ambitions.
Seeing that Long Fei Ye wasn't speaking, Tang Li lowered his voice. "Big Brother, I'll help you suppress the Shadow Clan's matter!"
During this time, Long Fei Ye had kept Han Yunxi by his side while doing his best to suppress the Shadow Clan's matter. He didn't want anyone to know, but he was also tracking down the movements of the other Seven Noble Families. Tang Li knew best what he wanted to do.
He wanted the Poison Sect's power, but he also wanted to erase Han Yunxi's status as a member of Western Qin's imperial family!
Long Fei Ye still didn't speak. He only gave Tang Li a Cold look. Tang Li was amused. He'd been like this since he was young. Long Fei Ye's silence was tacit agreement.
Before long, Han Yunxi heard the news and came over.
No matter how Tang Li looked at Han Yunxi, he couldn't help but feel comfortable. He wanted nothing more than to find a woman he couldn't like. That way, his father and the others would die from anger.
"Did you succeed in running away from the marriage?" Han Yunxi smiled. Zhao mama had been the one to tell her.
Tang Li didn't know how far Long Fei Ye and this woman had progressed while he was gone. He only grunted in response. It was best to be cautious.
"Your Highness, it's better to tear down ten temples than ruin one marriage," Han Yunxi teased. She could guess that Long Fei Ye had saved her.
"His marriage isn't as important as a temple," Long Fei Ye said.
"Who's he marrying?" Han Yunxi began to gossip.
"Ask him." Long Fei Ye was still Cold.
Tang Li was suspicious. He felt that there was something more between the two of them. Long Fei Ye hadn't changed much. He was still cold and indifferent. However, Han Yunxi was much more relaxed than before.
He remembered that this woman would more or less retreat in front of Long Fei Ye. He had never seen her joke around. If it wasn't for something important, she wouldn't talk to Long Fei Ye. The two of them seemed to live in two different worlds. Now, they seemed to be living in the same world.
Tang Li couldn't figure it out. Had he missed something?
"Hey, who are you marrying?" Han Yunxi asked again.
Tang Li cleverly avoided the question. "Don't mention marriage in front of this young master again!"
With Han Yunxi around, he didn't bring up the matter of going to the Medicine Ghost Valley. When night fell, Long Fei Ye set off for the Medicine Ghost Valley alone.
A few days later, Long Fei Ye appeared in Gu Qi Sha's courtyard. To his surprise, Gu Qi Sha wasn't there.
"This prince will wait."
Long Fei Ye's words scared the old steward so much that he shut the door. This Duke of Qin was very domineering, but Pill Fiend had a venomous tongue. A single word from him was enough to ignite the Duke of Qin's anger.
Even the old steward thought that Pill Fiend was courting death! Fortunately, Pill Fiend had the Serpent Fruit to restrain Long Fei Ye. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Long Fei Ye really did wait. Now that this great Buddha had come to the temple, the old steward didn't delay any further and immediately sent a messenger pigeon to Gu Qi Sha.
The next day, Gu Qi Sha returned.
He was still wearing his black robes, and his smile was strange. "Hehe, Your Highness Duke of Qin, could it be that you've thought things through? Did you come here just to be kicked by the Old Man?"
After two rounds of fighting, Gu Qi Sha had even broken the precious Serpent Fruit into two pieces to threaten Long Fei Ye. From the beginning to the end, it was all for the sake of "kicking him"!
Before Long Fei Ye could answer, Gu Qi Sha chuckled and said, "Your Highness Duke of Qin, now that the Serpent Fruit has been split into two pieces, which piece do you want?"
Everyone present knew that only when both pieces of the Serpent Fruit were used together would it have any effect!
Gu Qi Sha was openly provoking him!
Long Feiye's eyes flashed with cold light. Even the old steward on the side felt like he was about to freeze, but Gu Qi Sha was still smiling brightly. "Of course, if Your Highness Duke of Qin is willing to take two kicks from this old man, then this old man will … bestow these two pieces of Serpent Fruit to you!"
When he heard this, the old steward couldn't help but shudder. Could it be that his master and His Highness Duke of Qin had some sort of irreconcilable enmity?
Otherwise, why would he provoke and humiliate him like this?
Finally, Long Fei Ye opened his mouth. "Two kicks, is it?"
"If Your Highness Duke of Qin likes it, three or four kicks won't be a problem." Gu Qi Sha was very generous.
Long Fei Ye didn't answer. Instead, he suddenly leapt into the air and viciously kicked at Gu Qi Sha with a shadowless kick. His momentum was so swift and fierce that it caused the surrounding air to ripple!
Gu Qi Sha had exchanged blows with him twice before, so he was still on guard. He kept retreating until his back was against the door.
There was still time to escape, but Gu Qi Sha didn't. Instead, he took out a piece of the Serpent Fruit from his sleeve and said seriously, "If Your Highness Duke of Qin wants to kick this old man four times …"
He didn't finish his sentence and instead pretended to break the Serpent Fruit into two pieces …
