"Who is it that wants to kill Second Young Master? This person is too vicious. He's just a baby and the Assassin League has issued a kill order. This is really …" A Nascent Soul Stage cultivator shook his head and said with a gloomy expression.
At this moment, most people who saw this scene felt very disappointed. Even if they had a grudge against Mu Zheng, they didn't have to harm his child. At most, they could just attack the Mu Clan directly. However, using such a sinister method behind their backs was really despicable.
In the circle of high-level cultivators, there was an unwritten rule that every injustice had its perpetrator and every debt had its debtor. No matter how fierce the fight between two parties was, they generally wouldn't touch the other party's descendants. This was the basic bottom line.
Everyone had children and these people were their bottom line. If you dared to touch them, you would basically have to fight to the death with the other party.
However, at the Nascent Soul Stage, everyone's lifespan was very long. Unless it was absolutely necessary, no one was willing to give up everything to fight.
This was also the reason why no matter how fierce the fight between the major forces was, they wouldn't send Soul Formation Stage cultivators to kill the other party's juniors. Because if they did, it would really be a mess. The two families would definitely be destroyed and no one would be able to gain any benefits.
"Brother … how is it … how is Yuyi …" At this moment, Mu Huang's figure rushed in from outside. Her tear-stained face was very pitiful.
"He's fine. He's just unconscious!" Mu Zheng's voice was so indifferent that it was a little scary. At this moment, he was carrying Hayashikawa with one hand and using the water spiritual power to heal Mu Li's injuries with the other.
Hearing her brother's answer, Mu Huang's eyes suddenly narrowed. She looked at Hayashikawa in disbelief. This reaction was almost subconscious. When she realized her expression, she immediately hid it and revealed a look of joy.
"That's great … as long as he's fine … as long as he's fine …" Mu Huang said quickly. She reached out to take Hayashikawa but Mu Zheng directly raised his hand and bypassed her.
"Let me carry Yuyi. You heal Mu Li …" Mu Huang's face flashed with an awkward expression as she spoke.
"I don't want anyone to touch Yuyi now. Anyone …" Mu Zheng said.
Mu Huang froze on the spot and could only awkwardly retreat in the end.
Everyone thought this was normal. Mu Zheng was obviously very upset. They didn't know why the assassin didn't kill Yui Kimi in the end. Maybe he didn't have the heart to do it, or maybe Mu Li's arrival scared him off.
But no matter what, this could only be explained as luck. If they weren't so lucky just now, Mu Zheng's two children would probably be dead by now.
From great joy to great sorrow, the original full moon banquet turned into a banquet of death. No one could accept such a thing.
Among the crowd, only the elder of Dayin Tower, Xu Chengan, glanced at Mu Huang. He was good at gathering information, so he was able to observe everyone's facial expressions.
Previously, when Mu Huang heard that Mu Yuyi was still alive, her first expression wasn't one of happiness, but of fear and anger. But this expression quickly disappeared. Mu Zheng didn't notice it, and neither did anyone else. But Ye Xiwen did.
Although it was possible to be wrong about such a fleeting thing, Xu Chengan didn't think so.
However, this matter didn't have much to do with him. Furthermore, it was someone else's family matter. It wasn't appropriate for him to interfere. In addition, there was the restriction of Dayin Tower's rules. This made Xu Chengan hesitate whether to tell Mu Zheng what he saw.
"Forget it. Let's talk about it later!" In the end, Xu Chengan shook his head and chose to continue watching from the sidelines.
The incident at Qing Xian Restaurant spread like wildfire throughout Yijiang City. Everyone was talking about it. After all, it was despicable to attack a baby who was just one month old. Coupled with the Mu Clan's influence in Yijiang City, there were more and more rumors about this incident in the city.
After Mu Zheng stabilized Mu Li's injuries, he declined everyone's visits and brought people back to the Mu Clan. Soon, the Mu Clan sent out a notice to recruit cultivators. The price was very attractive. Even Nascent Soul cultivators were tempted by such a price.
This time, everyone felt the Mu Clan's protection of Yui Kimi. They were willing to sacrifice everything to protect this child.
From this moment on, all parties were trying their best to help track down the culprit, especially the Qing Xian Restaurant. This incident had a great impact on them. If it wasn't handled well, the branch in Yijiang City would be destroyed.
However, because the killer forgot to take back the Spirit Sealing Stone when he left in a hurry, everyone easily locked onto the killer organization called Poison Spider.
Although everyone knew that the real culprit behind the scenes wasn't this killer organization and that they were only hired by someone, the Mu Clan had no other clues except for this organization. Therefore, they could only continue to investigate in this direction.
After returning home, Hayashikawa had been sleeping. Although he wasn't injured this time, he used up a lot of energy and couldn't recover in a short period of time.
This situation scared Mu Zheng so much that he constantly checked Hayashikawa's body. He was afraid that someone had done something to his son, such as making Hayashikawa mentally retarded, or simply not waking up.
However, after several checks and asking someone to take a look, Mu Zheng finally confirmed Hayashikawa's situation. This child was indeed asleep.
Compared to Hayashikawa, Mu Li's situation was much more serious.
His chest was completely caved in and his ribs were almost all broken. His heart suffered a great impact. If it wasn't for Hayashikawa using the Immortal Palm Technique to protect his heart meridian, Mu Li would have died before Mu Zheng could save him.
Even so, Mu Li's current situation wasn't optimistic. Previously, after Yijiang City's City Lord checked Mu Li's injuries, he immediately fed him a precious elixir to prolong his life.
This elixir did have a miraculous effect. It completely stabilized Mu Li's injuries in a short period of time. In addition to Mu Zheng's timely rescue, Mu Li's injuries were almost completely under control.
However, Mu Li didn't show any signs of waking up. It was as if he didn't want to wake up.
"Li 'er … It was my fault … I shouldn't have doubted you … Wake up quickly!" Mu Zheng held Mu Li's hand, his eyes slightly red.
After this incident, he finally knew how much Mu Li cared about his younger brother. His previous suspicions had become so ironic and laughable.
However, everything seemed to be a little too late.
