'My body is still too weak … a few months of training is far from enough.' Lu Sheng felt pain all over his body the moment he stopped.
Fortunately, Jade Crane Skill's continuous circulation of inner Qi was spreading out like a spider's web, connecting all the painful parts of his body.
As inner Qi continued to infuse and nourish his body, the previously painful parts began to feel a faint numbness and itch.
'The effect is indeed amazing. This numbness and itch must be the feeling of my wounds healing and growing flesh. '
Lu Sheng guessed.
Glancing at the corpse on the ground, he followed the opening that Zhao Shuanghuo had entered through.
On the other side of the opening was another family's backyard.
Entering the backyard, Lu Sheng scanned the footprints on the ground, then followed the footprints towards the house of this family.
The moment he entered the house, he was taken aback by the scene inside.
What came into view was Lu Qingqing, hanging from the beam, wearing only a bit of white undergarments.
This girl was unconscious, and most of her undergarments had been taken off, revealing her snow-white buttocks. Her legs were tied apart, spread wide open in a shameful position.
If not for a bit of cloth blocking her view, he would have been able to see her vital parts.
More than half of her upper body was exposed, with only a bit of cloth covering the top of her breasts.
It looked like if Lu Sheng had come just a little later, Lin Shuanghuo would have been finished.
'Thank goodness, thank goodness …'
Lu Sheng hurriedly took off his coat and wrapped it around Lu Qingqing's body before putting her down.
This matter could not be known to others, or Lu Qingqing's reputation would be ruined.
Lu Sheng decided to hide the fact that Lu Qingqing had been held captive.
In this day and age, if people knew that a girl had encountered such a situation, who could guarantee that Lu Qingqing had not been taken advantage of?
A girl's innocence was extremely important at this time.
In some families, a girl who had lost her innocence before marriage would be drowned in a pig's cage.
Carrying Lu Qingqing, Lu Sheng lightly patted the girl's face a few times.
If inner Qi could be freely controlled, he thought that he might be able to channel it into other people's bodies to heal them, just like the inner force he had heard of.
Unfortunately, his Jade Crane Skill inner force could not be used at all.
After slapping her a few times, Lu Qingqing slowly woke up weakly.
Her eyes were misty. She had just woken up and was still a little dazed.
It wasn't until she felt cold all over her body that she suddenly remembered that she had been defeated by those villains and then tied up.
At this moment, the abnormality of her body made her tremble. After she came back to her senses, she stared at Lu Sheng, and her eyes immediately turned red …
Her eyes were brimming with tears that could flow out at any time.
"Hurry up and get dressed! My family will be here soon. "
Lu Sheng urged. Uncle Zhao and the others should find this place very soon.
From the time he entered to the time he fought with the Ghost Head Blade Brothers, only a short period of time had passed. It was also because of this that Lu Qingqing was given enough buffer time.
Lu Qingqing's expression froze, and she quickly understood something. She was not a fool, and she knew what her big brother meant by that.
As soon as she heard that there was still hope, she quickly propped up her limp body and picked up her torn clothes everywhere in the room. However, some of her clothes were torn and she couldn't put them on completely.
She couldn't care less when she was wearing her clothes.
Lu Sheng turned his back on her.
He waited until Lu Qingqing was dressed before turning back.
Seeing her big brother being so considerate, Lu Qingqing also heaved a long sigh of relief. Although her face was still a little red, it was much better than before.
"Big Brother, where are those villains!?"
Her face was filled with hatred.
"They were killed by me."
Lu Sheng said calmly.
"Where's Little Eight? I didn't see him."
"I'm not sure … I didn't see Little Eight."
After Lu Qingqing replied, she suddenly realized something and was instantly stunned.
So many people, so many experts, were actually killed by her big brother alone?
She couldn't believe it.
In her impression, Lu Sheng had always been an elegant young master. Although he had only started practicing martial arts recently, those people were so skilled that even her master might not be able to defeat them …
How could her big brother do it alone …?
"I'll look for Little Eight later. Are you done packing? In a while, say that I joined forces with you to kill those people. Do you understand? When I arrived, you were fighting with their disciple. "
Lu Sheng prepared to make a statement.
"Yes!"
Lu Qingqing knew the severity of the situation and didn't ask further. She nodded seriously.
But when she thought that her big brother had probably seen her whole body, she felt a strange sense of shame.
She felt as if she was standing in front of her big brother without any clothes on.
Thinking of this, she blushed again and quickly lowered her head to hide it.
Lu Sheng then tidied up the traces in the house. He put away the rope used to tie them up.
When he was halfway through, Uncle Zhao and the others finally arrived.
A group of hurried footsteps rushed into the neighboring courtyard.
Then came a series of exclamations.
"It's the Decapitated Blade and Ghost Head Blade brothers!" an older guard suddenly shouted.
The crowd started a commotion, then fell silent for a while.
Uncle Zhao's voice rang out again.
"Look for Young Master and Second Miss."
"We're fine!"
Lu Sheng brought Lu Qingqing back to the previous courtyard.
Uncle Zhao was dressed in black, holding two sabers in his hands and standing in the middle of the courtyard.
The other guards were separately searching for the corpses and traces in the courtyard.
"Brother Sheng! It's good that you're fine! "Uncle Zhao's eyes relaxed, the sharp aura around him quickly calming down.
"This isn't the place to talk, let's go back first."
Saying so, he looked at Lu Qingqing behind him, his eyes deep in thought. Although their disguise could fool ordinary people, it couldn't fool an experienced man like him.
Lu Sheng nodded, knowing that someone in the manor had already reported it to the authorities. The two of them brought Lu Qingqing and the other guards out and hailed a horse carriage.
The three of them sat in the carriage, while the others rode horses or ran back the way they came.
A few people were left in the courtyard to negotiate with the yamen officials.
They returned to the manor.
Then they shut the gates.
Lu Quanan was already waiting in the main hall with Second Mother and other family members.
After Lu Qingqing changed her clothes, she was brought to the main hall.
Lu Sheng didn't go. He told Uncle Zhao everything, except that he changed the version of what happened to Lu Qingqing, saying that when he arrived, Lu Qingqing was still tangled in a death match with the other party's disciple.
Then, he used his injuries as an excuse and went back to rest.
The doctor from the prescription also came over to check on his injuries.
Many muscle strains, slight bone fractures, and some internal bleeding. His shoulder bones were slightly dislocated, and so on.
Lu Sheng hated this sort of tripartite hearing the most. One sentence after another, a simple matter would take a long time to finish.
After washing up, Little Qiao tearfully helped him take off his outer clothes and put him to bed to rest.
After the doctor left, Lu Sheng felt that his injuries had recovered considerably in this short period of time. He was full of energy and Qi and blood. There were no signs of a battle on his body.
After reaching the highest level of Jade Crane Skill, its healing ability was truly powerful.
Lying on the bed, Lu Sheng rubbed his stomach, which had just finished a bowl of ginseng chicken soup. His entire body felt warm and comfortable.
'This trip was also a false alarm. I didn't expect that what Second Sister provoked wasn't demons or ghosts, but two murderers and wanted criminals from many years ago. '
He had originally been apprehensive because he had encountered something unusual on that street.
Hence, he had been exceptionally careful.
In the end, it wasn't demons, but man-made calamity.
Lying on the bed, he carefully recalled the process of today's fight.
'From start to finish, my moves could have been more concise. If I could have flexibly used the numbness produced by the tiger's roar from Black Tiger Saber, perhaps I could have avoided that head-on clash with those two. '
His brows furrowed as he began to reflect.
'Meeting opponents stronger than me is indeed difficult. As a saber user, strength shouldn't be my weakness. Perhaps I should have already found some external skills to increase my strength.'
He had never tried those external skills, and did not know what effect they would have after being modified by the Modifier.
…
Lu Manor's main hall.
Lu Quanan sat on the main seat, staring at Lu Qingqing below with a dark expression.
Beside him sat Second Mother, Third Mother, and the rest.
The whole family was gathered together for the tripartite hearing.
Lu Qingqing and Uncle Zhao stood below, along with a few guards.
"… That's the gist of the situation," Uncle Zhao revised the version that Lu Sheng had given him and told it to everyone.
"I've already spoken to the people at the yamen. This case is all thanks to Brother Sheng. No one can snatch it away, "Uncle Zhao said with a smile as he mentioned this.
"Brother Sheng loves martial arts. Unexpectedly, he managed to kill Severed Head Blade and Ghost Head Blade consecutively. It's clear that his strength is quite extraordinary. This is a sign of outstanding talent, a late bloomer! "
"I'm very satisfied with Little Sheng, and at ease."
Lu Quanan's expression softened a little. His originally angry heart was now much more at ease because he had a son like Lu Sheng who did not disappoint him.
Now, he looked at Lu Qingqing again.
"Little Qing, look at your big brother, then look at yourself. Other than causing trouble for the family and your big brother, can you do something decent for the family? "
Lu Quanan said sternly.
"I sent you out to practice martial arts, not for you to come back and cause trouble!"
"Dad … your daughter knows her mistake." Lu Qingqing's heart was filled with regret. If not for Big Brother's timely arrival, her life might have been ruined just like that.
"You know your mistake? When have you not said that? And in the end? Every single time! "
The more Lu Quanan spoke, the angrier he became.
"After you've recuperated, I'll find you a husband. Marry out and have a son. That'll calm you down."
"No!"
The moment Lu Qingqing heard the word "marry," she almost jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"I don't want to marry! No! Dad, your daughter knows her mistake. I'll definitely work hard for the family in the future! I won't cause trouble! Don't worry! Really! This time, it's for real! "
Lu Quanan ignored her, instead looking at the doctor who had just entered.
"How's Little Sheng's injury?"
This doctor was actually a distant relative of the Lu Family. It was just that they had different roles. After the Lu Manor had prospered, they had gathered all of them.
"It's alright, just some superficial wounds. He'll be fine after recuperation for ten days to half a month. "
The doctor replied hurriedly.
"That's good. When the time comes, I'll ask him if he still wants to go to Mountain-Edge City to learn martial arts."
Lu Quanan felt frustrated at the thought.
