Cheng Laiyun and Qi Dazhuang each helped Qi Xinxiang up and sat her down on the stone bench.

"Sis! Sis, don't rush, tell me slowly!"

Qi Dazhuang squatted down in front of her, his simple face marred by a furrowed brow.

"What happened?"

Qi Xinxiang gripped his hand tightly, her nails digging into her flesh, tears streaming down her face.

She took a few deep breaths and finally spoke haltingly:

"I...I just went shopping on the street...I bought some fabric and was on my way back..."

"Then I saw... I saw Wu Qiufeng."

As she said this, her eyes flickered with uncertainty:

He was standing on the street corner, carrying something in his hand... When he saw me, he paused for a moment, and his face turned red... I wanted to go over and say something to him...

Her voice suddenly became rapid and trembling:

"At that moment... at that moment, a few people suddenly came over from the side."

"Those people...it seems like they've been hanging around me ever since I left the house...I didn't pay attention because there were so many people on the street."

"But then I remembered when the leader, a young gentleman, spoke up."

She gritted her teeth, and tears welled up again:

He came over and said something...

She paused for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Your mouth is full of foul language."

Cheng Laiyun's brows were furrowed tightly.

Qi Dazhuang's face had turned bright red, and his fists were clenched so tightly they cracked.

"I was so angry that I snapped back at him..." Qi Xinxiang's voice trailed off.

"And then... someone came up and slapped me."

Cheng Laiyun's phoenix eyes narrowed suddenly.

Listen carefully to what Qi Xinxiang has to say next.

Qi Xinxiang covered her face, biting her lip, and said:

"When Wu Qiufeng saw me being beaten, he rushed over immediately."

Tears rolled down in large drops:

"He rushed forward and knocked the guy who slapped me to the ground with one punch, but there were several other people around him who surrounded him..."

"As they fought, they shouted: 'Assassination of the eldest prince!' 'Rebellion!'..."

"I heard someone call him 'Young Master Zhang'..."

Qi Dazhuang suddenly stood up: "Zhang Lai?!"

Cheng Laiyun sensed something was wrong with Qi Dazhuang, and he frowned and asked:

Who is Zhang Lai?

"The Deputy Commander of the Prefectural Office, the eldest son of the Prefect."

Qi Xinxiang nodded, her whole body trembling:

"They kept fighting and fighting. Wu Qiufeng, he's so tall, he was knocked to the ground, got up, and was knocked down again... He yelled at me, telling me to run away quickly."

"I ran back as fast as I could."

She couldn't continue speaking after that, and she buried her face in her arms on the stone table, sobbing uncontrollably.

Qi Dazhuang stood there, the color slowly fading from his face.

His hands clenched tightly, veins bulging.

Cheng Laiyun frowned and spoke slowly:

Something's not right...

Qi Dazhuang was stunned for a moment, then stared blankly at Cheng Laiyun and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Cheng Laiyun took a deep breath, looked at Qi Xinxiang who was crying bitterly, and said in a deep voice:

"I just heard from Sister Xinxiang that she seemed to have sensed Zhang Lai and the others following her for a long time. She could have come out at any time along the way, so why did she wait until Wu Qiufeng appeared before suddenly showing up?"

"I feel like they're waiting for Wu Qiufeng."

"Or rather, it's a deliberate attempt to provoke Wu Qiufeng... to make him take action..."

Qi Dazhuang still hadn't figured it out.

Qi Xinxiang's face suddenly turned deathly pale. She looked up at Cheng Laiyun, her voice trembling:

"You mean, this was a trap set by Zhang Lai?"

"I don't know." Cheng Laiyun shook his head, sighed, and stood up.

"Let's go check on Wu Qiufeng first."

…………

When Cheng Laiyun and Qi Dazhuang rushed to the street corner.

From afar, they could see Wu Qiufeng curled up on the ground, covered in blood.

The character for "body" trembled.

A crowd gathered around to watch, but no one dared to step forward.

"Brother Qiufeng!" Qi Dazhuang's pupils shrank, and he turned to rush over.

"Boss!"

Two bailiffs in black robes appeared out of nowhere and blocked his way.

But upon seeing Qi Dazhuang, the two men's solemn expressions immediately softened.

"You two sons of bitches, you think you're all grown up now? You dare block my way!"

After seeing the faces of the two men clearly, Qi Dazhuang's simple face revealed anger.

One of them looked at Qi Dazhuang, chuckled awkwardly, and quickly stepped back, saying:

"Boss, don't be impulsive, we can't handle this."

"Yes, the eldest young master personally handled it... and he even attempted to assassinate the deputy commander in the street... We can't afford to do anything about it."

Qi Dazhuang clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, staring intently at the two men:

"Wu Qiufeng attempted to assassinate Zhang Shaojun? Is he an idiot? Do you think this is reasonable?!"

The two sighed, shook their heads, and remained silent.

Then, the man on the left struggled slightly and whispered:

"Young Master Zhang has already led his men to the Wu family!"

……

There was a moment of silence.

To exterminate them all?!

These four words immediately appeared in Cheng Laiyun's mind.

"Damn it!" Qi Dazhuang wasn't completely stupid; he knew the hidden meaning in those words and rushed outside without any hesitation.

"Dazhuang!"

Cheng Laiyun suddenly stepped forward to stop Qi Dazhuang, who had lost his mind. His arm muscles were tense, and it took a lot of effort to stop him.

"Don't act impulsively."

Cheng Laiyun said solemnly, "This matter is not easy to manage."

Prefect Zhang.

The sky over the entire Qingzhou.

A Confucian scholar with supernatural powers, bestowed by the sage.

If Qi Dazhuang gets caught in this vortex...

If you make a mistake, you could be smashed to pieces.

"Laiyun!" Qi Dazhuang exclaimed anxiously. He looked down at Cheng Laiyun, his eyes wide with disbelief:

"Brother Wu only has an elderly mother and a young sister left at home... How could I... not go..."

Cheng Laiyun pursed his lips.

Wu Qiufeng... in the end, doesn't hold much weight in his heart.

He turned his head away, took a deep breath, and said calmly:

"Listen to me, stay here and guard Wu Qiufeng, I'll go find Ling Ziyun to come and rescue him."

"Save one if you can."

"Don't let a moment of impulse ruin everything for everyone."

Qi Dazhuang lowered his head and remained silent.

Cheng Laiyun frowned and looked up at the two bailiffs from the Tongpan Division dressed in black robes:

"Cheng is a disciple of the Fourth Elder of the Mo Sect."

"Brothers, please comfort Dazhuang and don't let him act impulsively."

"I'll be right back."

Hearing Cheng Laiyun's words.

The eyes of the two people, who hadn't paid much attention before, suddenly lit up.

Ink Gate!

Then, with a respectful expression, he addressed Cheng Laiyun with his fist salute:

"I understand, sir. Please go ahead."

"Um."

Cheng Laiyun gave Qi Dazhuang a deep look, then leaped outwards.

……

"What's the matter that's so urgent?"

Ling Ziyun was somewhat puzzled when she saw Cheng Laiyun's hurried figure.

"We'll talk on the way. Follow me first." Cheng Laiyun grabbed Ling Ziyun's clothes and headed towards the outside of the Medical Academy.

However, when they passed by the Mo Men Tian Gong Academy...

They happened to run into Xu Jiayin coming out of the door.

"Hey? Cheng Laiyun? Where are you guys going?"

Xu Jiayin crossed her arms and looked at Cheng Laiyun to ask a question.

Ok?

Upon hearing this voice, Cheng Laiyun's eyes lit up slightly.
