Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 142 A lonely place

He remembered! He remembered whose eyes the girl resembled—they were almost identical to his son Xu Nuofei's! How could this be! Xu Jiahao struggled to sit up.

Fang Chengde quickly helped him up. Xu Jiahao looked in the direction Yang Nianqing and the others had gone and felt a little lost. Now they could no longer be seen.

Following Yang Nianqing's instructions, Fang Chengde affixed talismans to himself and Xu Jiahao, and the two of them instantly disappeared. It was quite miraculous, and Fang Chengde was astonished. It was truly amazing, as if they had also used supernatural powers.

Bei Jingyi had no time to care about Yang Nianqing or them. Bei Rou's wound had healed to a shallow level and was no longer bleeding. Bei Jingyi laid her down on the ground and turned to look at Bei Zhou. Bei Zhou's condition was more serious. The poison was about to invade his heart. If he didn't expel the poison quickly, Bei Zhou would either die or become a vegetable. Bei Jingyi sat cross-legged on the spot and began to use his spiritual power to expel the poison from Bei Zhou.

At this moment, the group arrived at this place. The two girls in the lead covered their mouths as soon as they arrived, looked around, and wondered what was going on and why there were so many wounded people.

Bai Lingxiu looked around at the place, where some were healing, some were unconscious, and a man was standing straight, holding a sword.

Yu Xi frowned. "Am I too late?"

The man standing next to him nodded. "Probably."

Wu Zhengzhi shook his head regretfully. He had finally gotten a chance to see the legendary rare treasures, but now the opportunity was gone.

Bai Lingxiu and Bai Murui walked up to the standing man and saw a talisman on his body. Bai Murui exclaimed, "Sister, look at this talisman on his body, it's drawn so well!"

Bai Lingxiu also saw it; the strokes were strong and elegant, each one imbued with spiritual energy. This was an excellent immobilization talisman. Bai Lingxiu gently held the talisman paper and carefully felt the direction of the strokes.

Bai Lingxiu had some insights into how things were, and in her excitement, she accidentally tore off the talisman.

Bai Murui clicked her tongue in astonishment, "Why did you tear it off!"

Bai Lingxiu was also a little confused. "If I said I didn't do it on purpose, would you believe me?"

Song Zhe lowered his hand holding the sword and gave the two of them a fierce look. Bai Lingxiu and Bai Murui were so frightened that they took a step back. This man's eyes were terrifying.

Song Zhe ignored them and turned to chase after the direction where Yang Nianqing and the others had disappeared. Using their sect's unique technique, he quickly vanished.

Xu Jiahao, who was invisible, moved uncomfortably upon seeing this, but Fang Chengde pressed him down. They had already said that the chairman couldn't move around right now, and besides, they couldn't catch up with him anyway.

Xu Jiahao could only dejectedly lean back, hoping that the girl could escape successfully.

Yu Xi looked at his senior brother and asked with a smile, "Should we go after him, senior brother?"

Lin Hetai yawned and said nonchalantly, "Forget it, too much trouble." He didn't really want any rare or precious materials.

Bai Lingxiu walked over and, upon hearing what her senior brother said, couldn't help but ask, "Then what are we here for? Have we just come to feed the mosquitoes for days?"

Bai Murui leaned over and said, "We came here for nothing..." Not only did they not see any rare treasures, but they didn't even fight. Did they come here to steal treasures? They came here for a picnic and to feed the mosquitoes.

Yu Xi didn't speak, but just smiled at Bai Murui. Bai Murui shut her mouth, feeling a chill from her second senior brother's gaze.

When Xu Youhan arrived with her people, this was the scene she saw. Xu Youhan looked around but did not see her father or Secretary Fang. Had she come to the wrong place again?

Lin Hetai, arms crossed, said lazily, "You guys are from a place known for its rare and precious materials, right? You're late. What do you think you'll get at this hour? You're being too undisciplined."

Bai Murui glanced at her senior brother. "Brother, are you talking about yourself?"
Rare and precious treasures? What are those? Xu Youhan frowned, about to ask, when he heard a familiar voice calling his name.

"Young Master!" Fang Chengde called out. It wasn't a hallucination; Xu Youhan searched everywhere but couldn't find them.

"Uncle Fang, where are you?"

Fang Chengde tore off the talismans covering himself and Xu Jiahao, revealing their figures.

The crowd was somewhat surprised; there were actually two other people here. Invisibility talismans were quite rare.

Xu Youhan saw her father leaning weakly against the tree trunk, his body covered in blood.

"Dad!" Xu Youhan rushed over. "What happened! How did he get hurt like this? I will never let the Ou family get away with this!" Xu Youhan pounded the ground. "Sun Sheng, please help treat my dad!"

Sun Sheng agreed and went forward to check Xu Jiahao's injuries, letting out a soft "Eh."

"What's wrong?" Xu Youhan asked, puzzled.

Sun Sheng lifted Xu Jiahao's clothes to show Xu Youhan that the wound had already scabbed over and was almost healed, but the bloodstains were still fresh. "Could it be that Mr. Xu has encountered a healing-type ability user?"

"It was a girl who saved the chairman." Although the chairman risked his life to save her first, it is an indisputable fact that the girl saved the chairman.

"I'm fine, just a little blood loss." Xu Jiahao shook his head and held his son's hand. "Xiaohan, go help her!"

Xu Jiahao didn't know why he was so worried about that girl. Maybe it was because she had eyes exactly like his son's. Xu Jiahao felt that the girl was very kind to him, as if he had known her for a long time.

"Whose side are you helping?" Xu Youhan asked, puzzled.

“It’s that girl who’s the chairman,” Fang Chengde explained.

“But I don’t know where she is, and the Ou family’s assassins are still in the forest. The most important thing now is to get back to Kyoto as soon as possible.” Xu Youhan said with difficulty. He had come in a hurry this time and only had time to borrow a few superhumans for his cousin. He definitely couldn’t leave her father’s side now.

“But…” Xu Jiahao hesitated. Although he had never even seen the girl’s face, only her eyes, and people had told him not to act impulsively since they were not related, he was really worried about the girl.

“Dad, Mom is very worried about you, you’ve been missing for so long. If you don’t come back soon, I don’t know what will happen to you,” Xu Youhan advised.

Fang Chengde also chimed in, "Yes, Chairman, that girl is very powerful. Didn't so many people fail to defeat her just now? On the contrary, our forces are all gone here. Staying here any longer would be very disadvantageous for us."

Considering the current situation and his wife's delicate nature, Xu Jiahao hesitated but eventually gave in. He nodded, hoping the girl would be alright.

Mo Mo wasn't as fast as Huan Huan and Le Le in their adult wolf forms. After Yang Nianqing regained some strength, Mo Mo had the more stable Huan Huan carry Yang Nianqing. The weight of Yang Nianqing and Mo Mo wasn't much for Huan Huan and Le Le, and the two little ones happily ran towards the exit with them on their backs.

At that moment, a sword aura slashed over, instantly splitting Yang Nianqing's hat in two. Just as the sword aura was about to reach Yang Nianqing's skin, it touched her protective talisman, but the talisman was also instantly destroyed.

"What powerful sword energy!" Yang Nianqing turned around and saw that Song Zhe had caught up with them.

Song Zhe smiled and said, "I've seen your face. You can't escape now!"

Yang Nianqing frowned. Why was this person so difficult to deal with?

"We already said it's all about skill! What's with you chasing us now? As a cultivator, how can you go back on your word?" Mo Mo roared as he turned around.
