"Sothing's happened to Beichen Celestial Frost and Beichen Feng!"
The thought suddenly struck Sister Qin, and she looked at Hong Yu and said.
Hong Yu's expression changed drastically. He grabbed Sister Qin's shoulders and asked, "What happened to them?"
In his mind...
There was Beichen Feng, that clever little boy, so young yet so sensible and considerate, his face always adorned with a sunny smile.
Though his clear eyes held a maturity and wisdom beyond his years, his heart was as pure as a spring.
Without a single trace of impurity.
And not a single drop of malice.
And then there was Beichen Celestial Frost, the ice queen who seed as unyielding as a glacier on the outside, but was actually extrely considerate and needed protecting.
Flashes of his monts with them flickered through his mind as if they had just happened.
Sister Qin was taken aback by Hong Yu's intense reaction. She frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Half a month after you entered the Celestial Essence Secret Realm, experts from the Blood Killing Tower appeared at the Beichen Family estate to assassinate the little boy you brought back from the Fengyue Kingdom."
"Little Feng? How is he?"
Hong Yu asked anxiously.
Sister Qin said, "At the critical mont, Beichen Celestial Frost stepped forward and killed three assassins from the Blood Killing Tower in a suicidal attack, saving Beichen Feng. However, she was gravely injured. On top of that, the Blood Killing Tower has a habit of lacing their weapons with poison. Not long after saving Beichen Feng, the poison took effect, and she fell into a coma."
"What? Beichen Celestial Frost was poisoned? How is she now?"
Hong Yu's brows were tightly knit as he asked in a deep voice.
Beichen Celestial Frost's cold exterior and warm heart, her genuine care for Beichen Feng, her willingness to sacrifice everything for her family...
All these little things had deeply etched this lovely, pitiable girl into Hong Yu's mory.
He clenched his fists, his knuckles letting out a series of CRACKLES.
Sister Qin shook her head. "Because Beichen Celestial Frost is good friends with Tang Muxue, Tang Muxue asked Tang Long, the Chairman of the Spiritual Craftsman Guild, to help. He managed to stabilize her condition, but... the poison used by the Blood Killing Tower's assassins is extrely vicious, and Chairman Tang Long isn't skilled in the healing arts, so..."
"I understand."
Hong Yu took a deep breath and said his farewells, "Sister Qin, I'm heading back to the Beichen Family now!"
Sister Qin was stunned for a mont. "Hong Yu, behind this incident, it's not just the Blood Killing Tower. The shadow of Guiyuan Sect's Grand Elder Wang Ba is also involved... You're no match for them alone. Besides, your relationship with the Beichen Family is just that of passing acquaintances. I advise you not to get drawn into this whirlpool."
Hong Yu paused, then shook his head slightly. "Sister Qin, just as I was willing to help the Royal Family, which was largely for your sake, Beichen Celestial Frost and Little Feng are also my friends. If I was willing to enter the Celestial Essence Secret Realm for you, why can't I walk into the lion's den for them?"
"But..."
Sister Qin was taken aback, unable to say another word.
Watching the young man's figure recede into the distance, Sister Qin suddenly felt as if sothing was missing from her heart, leaving an empty feeling.
She looked at the silent Aunt Leng beside her. "Aunt Leng, why do I feel like I did sothing wrong?"
Aunt Leng let out a soft sigh and didn't speak.
Her eyes also gazed in the direction Hong Yu had left, and she sighed inwardly. 'Silly girl. Back in Shishui City, you could forget you were a princess, forget the burden of the Royal Family. So you could be good to him with no ulterior motives. But now, you've changed...'
'You just don't realize it yourself.'
Watching the young man gradually blur in her vision, Aunt Leng felt a strange sense of emotion. 'To think that naive little fellow from back then has already grown so much. I'm really looking forward to seeing what realm he'll be able to reach in the future!'
The Beichen Family Estate.
Today, the main gate of the Beichen Family estate was tightly shut, guarded by two Earth Soul Realm experts leading a group of guards.
Their sharp gazes swept over the passersby, and the atmosphere was solemn and tense...
One of them nudged his partner. "Hey man, why do you think the Great Madam and the Second Master transferred us back today and ordered that no one is allowed in or out?"
"Heh heh, isn't it obvious? The Great Madam and the Second Master are getting ready to deal with Miss Tianshuang and that Young Master who popped up recently!" the other one whispered.
"Miss Tianshuang? Damn, if I'd known, I would've gone inside too. She's a real beauty!"
The group of n was chatting.
Suddenly, they all felt the surrounding air temperature seem to drop by dozens of degrees. A chill washed over them, making them shiver.
"What's going on? Why did it suddenly get so cold...?"
"Weird. What month is it? How can it be so cold with the sun so high in the sky?"
As the n wondered, they saw the figure of a young man appear on the wide street.
They couldn't see his face clearly because he was backlit, but they could see he was walking toward the Beichen Mansion.
A few of the guards imdiately shouted coldly, "This is the Beichen Family residence! We are currently refusing all visitors. Do not co any closer. Otherwise, we will take action, and whether you live or die won't be our problem!"
The others watched lazily.
This was clearly not the first ti sothing like this had happened.
In the past, after such a rebuke, the other party would always leave on their own.
But this ti, the young man didn't stop at all and continued walking straight toward the Beichen Mansion.
The guards sensed that sothing was unusual. They all gripped their weapons and stared nacingly at the newcor. "Insolent fool! This is the Beichen Family residence! If you take another step, don't bla us for being impolite!"
CLICK.
Hong Yu halted his steps. He lifted his gaze slightly to look at the guards before him, his calm voice betraying no emotion. "Where are Beichen Celestial Frost and Beichen Feng?"
"Hm? You're looking for Miss Tianshuang and that little bastard?"
the guard said subconsciously.
But before he could finish his sentence, his vision blurred. A fair hand, like a Netherworld Ghost Claw, clamped onto his neck.
CRACK!
Hong Yu lifted him up by the neck with one hand, letting him struggle in terror before flinging him away with a flick of his fingers.
This guard was only at the Ninth Layer of the Essence Realm. The throw left him completely dazed and unable to get up.
Hong Yu gave him a cold glance. "Little Feng is your Young Master, yet you don't even have a basic level of respect for him. I could have killed you outright. But today, I'll give you a chance..." After a pause, Hong Yu continued, "Tell , where are Beichen Celestial Frost and Little Feng?"
Faced with Hong Yu's questioning again, the guard's expression turned venomous. That throw had been no gentle toss!
He looked ferociously at the other guards. "Brothers, avenge ! This bastard must be that little whelp's helper. If you kill him, the Great Madam will reward you handsoly!"
As the saying goes, great rewards attract brave n!
Hong Yu's casual display of power had deterred them from acting rashly, but upon hearing about a handso reward, their faces instantly twisted with ferocity and greed. "Dammit, I don't believe this kid can take all of us on his own. Let's get him together!"
"Yeah, let's kill him and get our reward from the Great Madam!"
"Kill him!"
The group of guards drew their weapons and charged at Hong Yu, radiating killing intent.
"You fools are courting death!"
Hong Yu snorted coldly.
He was already filled with rage after hearing that Beichen Celestial Frost and Little Feng had been targeted for assassination and that she was gravely injured.
Now, at the gates of the Beichen Family estate, seeing the attitude and words of these guards, he could only imagine how difficult the past few months must have been for Beichen Celestial Frost and Little Feng.
Hong Yu took a deep breath and viciously threw a punch.
How astonishing was the power of the Vibrating Rune Technique at the Middle Success Realm?
Even an ordinary Celestial Soul Realm expert would be severely injured by such a punch.
To say nothing of these guards, who were rely at the Essence and Earth Soul Realms. Under the force of that single punch, the nine charging guards froze mid-stride. A chorus of miserable screams erupted as their bodies were sent flying in all directions, like a lily blooming.
Blooms of fresh blood sprayed from their mouths, forming a crimson mist.
"Get over here!"
As Hong Yu raised his hand, a suction force erupted from his palm, pulling one of the Earth Soul Realm experts back toward him.
Grabbing him by the neck, Hong Yu's cold eyes glinted with a soul-stirring cyan light as he said indifferently, "Beichen Celestial Frost and Little Feng. Where are they now?"
The Earth Soul Realm expert trembled like a shrimp, his eyes filled with terror. As he shook, a wet patch spread across his crotch. He stamred, "M-Miss Tianshuang has been unconscious the whole ti, she's in her own room. That little ba—"
Seeing Hong Yu's eyes turn icy, he quickly corrected himself. "The, the Young Master... he found a group of experts from sowhere, and they've been guarding Miss Tianshuang's room."
"Until today. The Great Madam and the Second Master gathered all the experts from the rchant association. It... it looks like they're going to wipe out Miss Tianshuang and... and the Young Master in one fell swoop."
After saying this, he went limp like a deflated ball.
Hong Yu frowned. "You said Little Feng found a group of experts from sowhere?"
"Y-Yes..."
The man slumped to the ground, looking at Hong Yu in terror, holding nothing back. "I-I was just transferred back from outside by the Second Master, so I-I'm not too clear about what happened before. But, I heard that the Great Madam and the Second Master hired a mysterious expert, and they're determined to succeed today. I-I'm afraid the Young Master and the others are in a bad situation."
"Wang Fei and Beichen Huo? Hmph. If even a single hair on Little Feng or Tianshuang's head is hard, I will make you suffer a fate worse than death."
A cold glint flashed in Hong Yu's eyes. He turned and kicked out.
The heavy main gate in front of him collapsed with a loud BANG.
Hong Yu advanced with the Dragon Walk and Tiger Stride, heading toward Beichen Celestial Frost's room.
「anwhile...」
Beichen Celestial Frost's once-tranquil and elegant courtyard was now a complete ss, like a ruin.
Bodies of experts, their life or death unknown, lay scattered about amidst the rubble and broken walls. One could only imagine what a brutal battle had just taken place.
Inside the courtyard, a dozen heavily injured, nacing-looking n with weakened auras glared like wounded lions at the three people before them.
Wang Fei, Beichen Huo, and a mysterious figure wrapped in a blood-red cloak.
Wang Fei cracked a savage grin, her voice filled with vengeful glee as she looked at the young boy behind the ten n. "Jiejie, Beichen Feng, oh, Beichen Feng. I never thought a bastard like you would have such ans to hire the Yellow Heaven Ten Thieves to help you. But it's a pity. In the end, you're still dood to die!"
"Hmph, you old hag! If my Brother Hongyu cos back, let's see if you can still laugh then," Beichen Feng said, his small face pale, but his voice neither servile nor overbearing.
"Hong Yu? Hmph, no one can save you today!" Wang Fei snorted sinisterly. "Sir, please act and execute this boy!"
The cloaked man gave a ghostly laugh and nodded. "Rest assured, leave it to !"
As he spoke, an aura as cold and sharp as the Death God himself locked onto Little Feng...
