Chapter 1393 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
The dart was aimed at Xu Shan, but no matter how fast it was, Xu Shan, with his superior martial arts skills, was able to catch it with ease.
Seeing that there was a note wrapped around it, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
At the same time, a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside, indicating that there were several people approaching.
Xu Shan had already picked up the note and read the words on it: If you want your wife to go back alive, bring the Heaven-Asking Blade in exchange.
"Something terrible has happened! Madam Xu was kidnapped by masked men on the way."
Finally, the people who had been making a lot of noise came into view. They were the guards assigned to Yi Xiaolan. They were still covered in blood, and some of them were pale, clearly having suffered injuries of varying degrees.
Everyone's expression changed drastically. They had considered that someone lurking in the shadows might make a move, but they never expected that Yi Xiaolan would be kidnapped so easily.
It should be noted that the guards assigned to Yi Xiaolan were quite skilled in martial arts, and this was within the city, Yan Rugo's territory, and it wasn't even truly dark yet, yet those people were so audacious.
"They came for the Heaven-Asking Blade." Xu Shan handed the note to everyone. "It tells me to exchange it for the Heaven-Asking Blade, but it doesn't say when or how to exchange it."
"I should have arranged more people for my brother and sister-in-law. I didn't expect them to become so arrogant, daring to kidnap people so boldly." Yan Rugo said with some annoyance.
Shen Miao said worriedly, "Sister Xiaolan doesn't know martial arts, and I don't know what kind of hardship she will suffer. It's really worrying."
“How can you blame yourself?” Xu Shan said. “It’s the existence of the Heavenly Blade that made those people persevere.”
Now they're threatening his wife's life. He's not some old-fashioned person. No matter what people say, as long as there's any new development, he'll definitely cooperate with them to hand over the Heavenly Blade.
Anyway, the secret of the Heaven-Asking Blade has been figured out. Compared to the Heaven-Asking Blade itself, the Xu family ancestors were probably happier that their descendants had finally discovered the secret of the Heaven-Asking Blade. The contents on it had also been changed. So, giving up the Heaven-Asking Blade in exchange for peace of mind was a win. They wouldn't have to live in fear like they had recently.
“Then we can only wait for news,” Yan Rugo said. “Hopefully these people keep their word and are only after the knife.”
Shen Miao said, "Yes."
"I feel that the mysterious person who kidnapped Sister Xiaolan this time is probably not that mysterious organization that likes to exterminate entire families. As long as we hand over the Heaven-Asking Blade, there is a high chance that they will release Sister Xiaolan."
After what happened, everyone lost their appetite. They ate a few bites hastily and waited for news from the mysterious organization. Unable to fall asleep, they sat silently in the hall.
Sitting next to Xu Shan, Azhen was also wondering which side the mysterious organization that kidnapped Yi Xiaolan belonged to.
The plot has changed a long time ago, so it's really hard to guess in a short period of time.
However, they are probably not from the Star Moon Palace.
After all, if they were from the Star Moon Palace, they would leave their names directly, given their style of doing things. Is the Star Moon Palace really that arrogant? Or is it because the Palace Master, Chao Yue, is too skilled in martial arts? Since she mastered her martial arts ten years ago, she has become increasingly arrogant and domineering. She no longer bothers to hide many things and does whatever she wants. There is almost no one in the martial arts world who can defeat her. She certainly has the ability to be arrogant.
Just as everyone was lost in thought, hurried footsteps sounded outside again, causing everyone to look up.
But then they saw a familiar face beside the newcomer—none other than Shen Linsu.
"Big brother, what brings you here?" Shen Miao asked.
Everyone stood up, except for Azhen, who was quite surprised by Shen Linsu's sudden appearance. Shen Linsu, however, had an unusually expressionless face. He said, "I missed Yue'er and wanted to come see her, but as soon as I arrived, I received news that Madam Xu had been kidnapped. Is there any news?"
His gaze fell on Xu Shan: "Are you from a mysterious organization? Are you here for the Heavenly Blade?"
"Brother Xu, what are your plans now?"
Before Xu Shan could speak, he continued, "If you think the Heavenly Blade is too precious for you, and that handing it over would be a disservice to your ancestors, I do have two fine weapons that are quite old. I can ask those people if they would be willing to exchange them for these two weapons."
"Brother Xu has possessed the Heaven-Asking Blade for so many years, but I suppose he hasn't discovered any secrets. It might not really be related to the Heavenly Questioning Blade. Perhaps my two ancient weapons can reveal something."
Shen Linsu's words instantly created an awkward atmosphere. Anyone could see that he cared about this matter more than usual.
Even Xu Shan, no matter how slow-witted he was, could see some signs.
He instinctively shook his head in refusal, his voice unusually firm: "At a time like this, why would I still consider the Heavenly Blade? My ancestors were all upright and honorable people. If they knew that I would refuse to save my wife of many years for the sake of a blade, they would probably jump out of their coffins and beat me up."
"Thank you for your kindness, Master Shen. Their goal is the Heaven-Asking Blade. I will hand it over once I have news. Brother Shen, keep your weapon and don't mention it. What if they make demands? Wouldn't that be a waste?"
At this moment, Xu Shan had no desire to have anything to do with Shen Linsu. The other party seemed to be making no attempt to hide it, and anyone could see how much he cared about his wife. This reminded him of how Shen Linsu had instinctively protected Yi Xiaolan at his "funeral."
He didn't really want to think about these things, but Shen Linsu was too open about hiding them.
What was Xiaolan thinking at that time?
Was her impatience recently related to Shen Linsu?
Xu Shan quickly shook his head, stopping himself from letting his mind wander. The most important thing now was to save the person.
“Alright,” Shen Linsu said, without any insistence. He seemed quite relaxed. “I thought the Heaven-Asking Blade was particularly important to Brother Xu. Since Brother Xu has already made his decision and thinks Madam Xu is more important, then I certainly don’t need to worry about it.”
At this moment, Shen Linsu returned to his usual calm and collected demeanor, as if he had no interest in anything in the martial arts world, and everything before seemed to be just an illusion.
But Xu Shan knew it wasn't a misperception; Shen Linsu really cared too much about his wife.
Next, Shen Linsu became one of the people waiting for news.
Azhen observed Shen Linsu the whole time, analyzing in her mind whether this matter had anything to do with Shen Linsu, and it seemed that it really didn't.
This time, someone else abducted Yi Xiaolan.
who can that be?
A name popped into her mind, and she guessed it was closely related to this person. (End of Chapter)
