596 Dark Night Sneak Attack
After dark, Su Xiaolu announced that they would call it a day and continue tomorrow.
People had their thoughts, but they didn’t dare to say them. What could they do if they couldn’t win? They could only endure it.
In any case, in just a few hours, a capable master and disciple had appeared in Yulin county. They had huge treasures and superpowers, and they had spirit herbs to trade. People could use stories to exchange for spirit herbs. It had already spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Immediately, be it the noisy teahouses or the ordinary families, everyone was talking about this matter.
The rich could buy it with money, while the poor could try their luck with stories.
In any case, they would not be at a disadvantage. They did not hurt anyone. It was not bad to be able to see that magical superpower up close. Perhaps if they touched it, they would be blessed with good luck and feel as if they had been enlightened by gods. Then, they would be lucky enough to have the same superpower.
The news of the Li Family’s Eldest Young Master obtaining the divine medicine had also spread.
Everyone was waiting to see if this Eldest Young Master Li, who had been crippled for two years, would recover. After all, the news of him being unable to stand up after falling off a horse and having his engagement annulled had spread in Yulin for a long time.
It was late at night, but the Li Family’s house was still brightly lit.
Pots of black water were brought out of Li Yu’s room.
Mr. Li and Mrs. Li waited outside anxiously.
“Master, is this useful? Will Yu’er be fine?”
Mrs. Li was anxious. Her son was brave and outstanding. He had always been her pride. She was afraid that he would not be able to recover from the disaster, but Li Yu had survived everything.
Mr. Li pondered for a moment. He looked at his wife beside him and said gently, “Madam, don’t be anxious. Yu’er has his own plans.”
His wife was not a scheming person, but she had given birth to a good son. It was best to hand the Li Family over to him.
It would be great if he could get better, but if he couldn’t…
Mr. Li lowered his eyes. No matter how disappointing the son of a concubine was, he was still healthy. How could a cripple support the family head?
He could not help but glance at his concubine and son.
The concubine lowered her head. The concubine’s son was ambitious, but he also knew how to lie low. As long as he was given enough time to grow, he might be able to surpass Li Yu.
At this moment, Li Yu was surrounded by his trusted aides.
Li Yu sat in the bathtub, his entire body oozing black, foul-smelling sweat.
The water in the bathtub was changed again and again, but it was not clear.
Li Yu focused his attention and kept circulating his internal breath. He had never smelled so bad before. He could not even imagine that there were so many dirty things in a human body.
He also despised himself. He was simply worse than a mouse that crawled out of a smelly ditch.
He circulated his internal breath again and again. He could sense that his meridians were becoming smoother and smoother. They had even expanded. His body was better than before.
It was just that it was too smelly. He was both disgusted and happy.
The water was changed again and again. He couldn’t help but wonder if the inn was still peaceful at night.
Wasn’t the master and disciple afraid of attracting trouble by being so ostentatious?
Li Yu opened his eyes and instructed the people beside him, “Send five people to guard the inn. If there’s a need, protect those two.”
2,000 taels was actually a good deal for him. Such a pill that could allow one to be reborn was a rare item.
Perhaps these things would not be considered precious in the future, but now was the beginning. These things were valuable treasures anywhere.
Not everyone had the courage to risk their lives exploring the unknown.
“Young Master, do you want to invite them here?”
The subordinate asked.
Li Yu shook his head. “That won’t be necessary.”
Tonight was probably not that peaceful. If he needed help, he would not be so stupid as to invite the big trouble home.
That master-disciple pair had never met him before, so it could only be fate that they helped him.
He lowered his gaze and looked at the black sweat on his arm. He pondered for a moment. Just as his subordinate left after receiving the order, he spoke again, “Wait. If they are in trouble, save them.”
At least in Yulin, he could protect them if he wanted to.
Just as the young lady had said, she liked him. He liked her too.
The young lady was disguised as a man. Others might not be able to tell, but he could tell at a glance.
“Yes.”

In the silent night, there was a soft sound on the roof. Even someone with a deep foundation would find it difficult to notice.
Su Xiaolu moved her ears. It was finally here.
He never expected Yulin County to have such an expert.
She touched the sword in her arms.
In the darkness, Gui You only said one word, “Go.”
Su Xiaolu smiled and jumped out of the window, scaring the men in black on the roof.
Was this the difference in skills? They had already made very little noise and were preparing to use the smoke bomb. Before they could use it, the people inside were alarmed, making them pause for a moment. Should they attack or not?
However, after pausing for a few seconds, several people attacked Su Xiaolu at the same time.
Su Xiaolu was also very excited. This was one of her few actual battles. She did not know them. Swords had no eyes. Her blood was boiling. Her sword was faster than her brain.
She somewhat understood what Gui You said about the Zen of the sword.
The sword in her hand seemed to have a life of its own. Every move, slash, and swing was just right.
She was not at a disadvantage against the six of them.
Gui You had already come out at some point and was watching from the dark. He was very satisfied. Su Xiaolu had improved greatly. Her sword intent was exquisite and her sword moves were ever-changing.
It was obvious that she enjoyed drawing her sword.
‘Little girl, you’ve gained enlightenment quite early on.’
Su Chong did not seem to have reached this level.
Su Xiaolu was not as strong as him, but she was better than Su Chong in terms of enlightenment.
Su Xiaolu was at ease and did not use her superpower. The six of them gradually could not take it anymore. They also felt that Su Xiaolu was toying with them. Understanding this, they felt humiliated.
They would rather be killed than humiliated!
They attacked in anger. Su Xiaolu’s eyes lit up. She was even more excited as if she had eaten divine medicine. Her sword shadow was almost invisible.
“A straightforward person doesn’t do anything behind the scenes. If you want to be a gentleman, don’t blame me for humiliating you. I don’t want your heads, but I want your hair…”
Su Xiaolu was very happy and said ruthless words.
She was at ease. The swords flashed, and the six men in black retreated one after another, but they still felt a chill on their heads.
All the hair on their heads had been cut off by Su Xiaolu.
They were furious, but they were no match for her. They could only put away their swords and escape.
Su Xiaolu laughed out loud.
Her hard work in practicing martial arts was not in vain.
“Master Gui You, am I powerful?”
Su Xiaolu went to Gui You’s side and asked with a smile.
Gui You glanced at her. “Your understanding is not bad, it can be improved.”
Su Xiaolu jumped happily. Gui You’s praise was very reserved, but she still understood the meaning of it.
Su Xiaolu was still wondering if anyone would come in the second half of the night, but it was obvious that she was going to be disappointed. After the first wave of failure and the loss of the top of their hair, the other people with ulterior motives also retreated silently.
