Chapter 269 Fan Yanmu, you are still alive
Logically speaking, Xiao Zhixue's group was so large that it would be hard not to attract attention.
Could it be that they were one step ahead of Xiao Zhixue?
Just as Fan Yanmu was about to speak, a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds suddenly came from behind, breaking the silence.
Ren Fei led his men and rushed towards them like arrows.
Fan Yanmu and the other two tightened their reins and waited quietly for the team to pass.
When the two teams passed by each other, Ren Fei glared at Fan Yanmu fiercely and roared in anger: "Speed up, everyone! We must catch those two outsiders today!"
After saying this, Ren Fei and his group disappeared at the end of the dusty road in an instant like a whirlwind.
When Fan Yanmu heard that they were going to arrest outsiders, Xiao Zhixue's figure immediately appeared in his mind.
He quickly ordered his Shadow One and Shadow Two: "Follow them!"
The three followed behind and after a long journey, they finally arrived at an area near Shengyuan Mansion.
Ren Fei and others jumped off their horses, with swords flashing in their hands, and rushed into the gate of Shengyuan Mansion with great momentum.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of fierce fighting was heard in the mansion.
Fan Yanmu and the other two immediately dismounted and ran to Shengyuan Mansion at high strides.
An Ying'er was seen waving a long stick and getting into a stalemate with Ren Fei and others.
The moment Shadow One and Shadow Two saw An Ying'er, they suddenly realized why Fan Yanmu was tracking this group of people.
Without waiting for Fan Yanmu's orders, the two men drew their swords in tacit understanding and joined the battle without hesitation.
Upon hearing the noise, Xiao Zhixue rushed to the front yard. When she saw Ying One and Ying Two, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.
How come they appeared in Nanchong City? Did Fan Yanmu encounter an accident?
The worry in her heart was like a hanging stone. At this moment, Fan Yanmu jumped to her side as fast as lightning.
He kicked away the enemy who was about to launch a sneak attack on Xiao Zhixue, and knocked down another one with one punch.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhixue finally put down the heavy stone in her heart. Seeing that Fan Yanmu was safe and sound, she was filled with joy and couldn't help but break into a bright smile: "Fan Yanmu, you are still alive!"
Fan Yanmu raised his eyebrows, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face: "Why, do you really want me to get hurt on the battlefield?"
Xiao Zhixue grinned and said, "How could that be possible?"
Naturally, she didn't want Fan Yanmu to make any mishap on the battlefield in the southwestern border, and she had been concerned about his safety all the time these days.
Jiuer was sent to deliver the letter, but she never returned.
Now, Fan Yanmu appeared before her unharmed, and Xiao Zhixue's inner joy was simply beyond words.
But this is not a good time to reminisce about the past, as the external enemies still need to be dealt with.
They saw more enemies rushing towards them. Xiao Zhixue and Fan Yanmu joined forces, and in just a few days, they knocked all the invaders to the ground.
Although Ren Fei brought a large number of people, they seemed vulnerable in front of Xiao Zhixue and her group. They fled in panic, crying for their parents.
Xiao Zhixue's family heard the fighting outside and rushed over to see what was going on.
Upon learning that a group of unidentified people had come to cause trouble, they all broke into a cold sweat for Xiao Zhixue and the others.
Fortunately, the turmoil soon came to an end. Ren Fei and his men were injured to varying degrees. They lay on the ground in pain, wailing.
Fang Weiyi and Fang Jiawen rushed over and planned to join the battle, but found that all the enemies had been subdued.
The two of them saw the figures of Fan Yanmu and three others, and felt mixed emotions.
Shouldn't Fan Yanmu be defending the southwestern border against foreign enemies? Why did he appear in Nanchong City?
Looking at Xiao Zhixue's uncontrollable smile, especially when she looked at Fan Yanmu, her tenderness and affection were beyond words, and the two of them felt even more depressed.
They finally realized that no matter how hard they tried, Xiao Zhixue's eyes would never fall on them.
Even when Fan Yanmu was not around, Xiao Zhixue did not give them such a sweet smile.
Fang Weiyi hid the jealousy in his eyes, knowing full well that it was meaningless to stay with Xiao Zhixue any longer.
"We will go back to the Divine Doctor Valley tomorrow."
He said it calmly, with unspeakable sadness and determination hidden in his voice.
After Fang Weiyi finished speaking, he took resolute steps and his figure slowly sank into the deepening dusk, as if taking away the unfulfilled emotions along with him.
His back seemed particularly heavy, and every step he took was filled with unspeakable pain from deep within his heart. It seemed that if he stayed for another second, the suppressed emotions in his heart would become a little heavier.
Fang Jiawen looked at his elder brother's departing back, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
He shook his head slightly, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his lips. Even a man as outstanding as his brother could not win Xiao Zhixue's heart. How could he have the courage to fantasize about this unattainable relationship?
The myriad emotions hidden deep in the heart will eventually dissipate into the air like smoke blown away by the evening breeze.
He lowered his head and walked towards his room with heavy steps. The scenery along the way seemed to have lost its color, and only the determination in his heart became clearer.
Back in the room, Fang Jiawen began to pack his luggage silently. Every piece of clothing and every medical book carried his determination to travel to the Valley of Divine Doctors.
Tomorrow morning, he will set out with his brother and embark on a new and unknown road.
He secretly swore that from now on, his world would only be filled with medical skills and spiritual practice, and he would no longer allow any emotional waves to disturb this moment of tranquility.
At this moment, Xiao Zhixue's eyes were shining with joy. Fan Yanmu's arrival seemed to bring a trace of peace to these turbulent days.
Her gaze inadvertently swept across the mess on the ground and Ren Fei and his group huddled on the ground, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
She clenched the whip tightly in her hand. The whip seemed to contain the wrath of thunder. Just a slight swing was enough to shock people.
"Say!"
Xiao Zhixue's voice was as cold as ice, and every word she said was like a sharp blade, cutting through the tense atmosphere.
"Who ordered you to do this? If you don't speak up, the next whip will be the end of you!"
As soon as she finished her words, the whip rose into the air like a dragon and lashed the ground fiercely. A crisp "snap" sounded all around, dust flew, and a deep crack appeared on the ground.
Ren Fei and his group were shocked by this powerful momentum. They knelt down in panic with sweat dripping down their foreheads.
"Lady, spare us! We are just following orders. The person behind this is the city lord..."
His words trembled and he dared not hide anything, for fear that the next moment, the horrible whip would fall on him, which would be a punishment worse than death.
Xiao Zhixue frowned slightly when she heard this. Yuan Shang's previous arrogant words seemed to be verified at this moment.
This city lord is actually a very powerful figure in Nanchong City.
Thinking of this, she felt even more worried. If the city lord was in cahoots with the bully, then this trip would be disastrous.
But she has never been a timid person. Instead of waiting passively, it is better to take the initiative and personally uncover the mystery of the city lord to see what kind of power he has to allow the entire Nanchong City to be shrouded in his shadow.
