In the instant that Luo Yi's reminder, Xu Heng's eyes darkened, and quickly dodged the approaching dagger behind him. She even grabbed onto Luo Yi to prevent him from injuring Luo Yi because she could not stop herself for a moment.

He knew they were being followed.

Xu Heng glanced at the people who were sneakily following him and smirked. Then, he picked up a silver hairpin and placed it on top of Luo Yi's head.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then he picked up the silver and hid it to the side.

Xu Heng threw some silver and pulled Luo Yi behind him to protect himself. Then, he suppressed his voice and asked: "May I know who you are? But do you have a grudge against me? If it is not, then who sent it? "

The people surrounding them looked at each other, but didn't answer his question. They silently attacked without giving them any time to react.

Luo Yi did not know any martial arts, so shshewas afraid that she would cause trouble for Xu Heng, so he resolutely followed Xu Heng's orders. He told herself to block the attack and run, taking advantage of the moment when no one was looking, Luo Yi ran out of the encirclement.

Whether they were merchants or passersby, all of them fled the moment they saw that something was wrong. Therefore, other than the few of them, no other living beings could be found on the street.

She hid herself well, and it was as if those people could not see her at all. All of their energy was placed on Xu Heng, and each of their moves was more ruthless than the last, as if they wanted to kill him on the streets.

Luo Yi looked at it for a while and gradually felt that something was amiss.

Her eyebrows were tightly knitted together.

Xu Heng seemed to not be able to fend off these few people from the start, but when they were fighting, his entire body revealed the word "struggle", and he had suffered a lot of injuries, but they were not heavy, so he was not too worried, but … Luo Yi just felt that something was wrong.

She kept having the feeling that Xu Heng should not have been beaten up to the point that he did not even have the strength to fight back.

But having said that, she had never seen Xu Heng fight with other people before. The man could argue, but his words could change mountains and rivers. As a result, there were not many opportunities for him to make a move, the only thing that was related to him was the time when Xu Heng used his small movement technique.

However, there were many people in this world who only knew lightness skills and were not good at fighting, and it was probably because Xu Heng usually acted too confidently, that people mistook him for someone who was capable of anything.

Luo Yi's brain spun very quickly as she tried to think how much more likely it would be for her to be able to meet the Li Kingdom if Xu Heng were to die here today. Without waiting for her brain to give a specific answer, her body had already rushed out.

In the books she had read before, the main character would always howl when he pounced on her and used her as a shield. Not only did hitting the grass startle the snake, it often had the opposite effect, so she silently rushed over and blocked that blade for Xu Heng without making a sound.

When Xu Heng was young, he raised a little wolf cub.

The wolf cub was given to him by a farmer who had been his benefactor. At that time, his wife was very ill and his family really didn't have any money to help her treat her illness. Thus, he had no choice but to commit this act of robbery.

Although Xu Heng was young, the farmer could tell that he was dressed in top quality silk with a single glance. Thus, he hardened his heart and took advantage of the academy's school-day to secretly abduct. Originally, he did not expect this child to have that much silver on him. Just as he was thinking about how to send news to his family members, Xu Heng who had not spoken a word since he was kidnapped suddenly spoke: "You want money?"

He blinked and looked at the farmer without fear or resentment.

It was like a lifeless rag doll. When looking at this world, one would not even have the slightest bit of emotion. However, he was clearly a living person with flesh and blood. Seeing that the farmer didn't say anything, he kindly repeated, "Do you want money?"

The farmer recovered from the shock.

Actually, he did not need to care about such a child. However, for some reason, when he heard the tender voice of this person, he could not help but nod his head.

Seeing that, Xu Heng spoke again: You're going to let me go if I give you the money?

As he spoke, he took out a handful of silver from a secret pocket inside his clothes and handed it to him. "Here."

The farmer took the silver tael with trembling hands. Before he could react, he saw that the boy had already started moving out. He moved faster than he thought and reached out to grab the child.

This time, Xu Heng was stopped, and his face finally revealed a trace of panic.

Although he had followed his father around since he was young and he had some ability to recognize people, he was still a child after all. It was hard to avoid seeing things wrongly — he was able to calm down after seeing that the person was honest and honest. He only wanted money and no harm to others.

Xu Heng had always thought that this person was a schemer since he was young. He probably saw silver and was full of evil intentions, wanting to kill him to keep his mouth shut. His body stiffened for a moment. When he turned around, he saw that the farmer's face was still as honest as ever. The expression on his face was unpredictable. After a while, both of his knees bent and he kneeled down.

"Great kindness …"

He did not have any culture at all, and could not find anything to say to that. However, Xu Heng understood and waved him off, indicating that he did not need to worry about it.

Xu Heng's gaze wandered around the room, and finally stopped on a small creature in the corner of the room that was so thin that he could not tell what it was. He said: "Then give it to me, just treat it as something I bought."

After the little thing was carried home and washed clean, revealing its original brown fur, Xu Heng stared at it with its dying eyes and thought, so it was a dog.

Xu Heng really liked it, and even gave it a name, called Xiao Hei. All the servants thought that this Xiao Hei, who was thin, but surprisingly fierce, was a stray dog picked up by their master, and if there was nothing wrong, they would just tease him until Xu Shilian invited a good friend from the imperial court. Some of them were shocked by Xiao Hei who was napping quietly in Xu Heng's arms, and spilled the wine in their hands: "Why are you hugging a wolf cub, young master?"

When his words fell, other than Xu Heng, everyone else present was shocked.

Xu Heng looked at the people around him strangely.

He didn't feel that there was any difference between a wolf cub and a dog cub. In any case, it was the same as hugging them in his arms, but Xu Shilian, on the other hand, was extremely nervous, and immediately called for someone, wanting to beat Xiao Hei to death. Xu Heng couldn't stop them, and it took a lot of effort to escape from the hands of the few people imprisoning him.

He stared blankly at it for a second and when he regained his senses, he kept begging his father to save Xiao Hei. However, no matter how much he begged, Xu Shilian remained unmoved. Xu Heng begged for mercy, bit her lips, and turned to look at Xiao Hei. When she raised her head, she took out a small knife from nowhere, and slashed at her arm.

He was still young and did not understand that animal medicine was not the same as human medicine, so even if he coaxed his father to give him the medicine using this method, he would probably not be able to give the medicine to Blacky. However, he innocently hugged Blacky to his chest, waiting for the doctor to give him the medicine before secretly feeding it to Blacky. But Xiao Hei was probably frightened of him previously, and was now stimulated by the smell of the blood, she bit down on Xu Heng's arm which was in front of her. Luckily, a servant at the side quickly pulled on Xu Heng, causing her sharp teeth to graze past her skin and flesh.

And after this incident, Blacky had even lost its last breath after being frightened by the crowd.

After that, Father Xu helped him apply the medicine, and didn't forget to teach him a lesson: "He's just a beast, it's worth it for you to take him to heart!"

Xu Heng lowered his head and did not say a word.

But ever since then, Father Xu had already faintly discerned the fierceness in Xu Heng's bones.

What he wanted to do, he did not care about the price, even if it hurt himself.

Therefore, Xu Heng had planned to get injured from the beginning.

This group of people were obviously street hoodlums hired by the Innocent Medical Seat. Fighting was completely relying on brute force, and although their attacks were ruthless, they did not dare to stab their fatal points with a single blade. Thus, Xu Heng understood, the Insolent Medical Seat did not intend to kill them.

At least not yet.

It wasn't that he couldn't defeat this group of people, nor that he couldn't sense the sneak attack from behind him. It was just that this scene had caused him to be deaf and blind. Who would have thought that the girl who always cared about her life would unhesitatingly charge out in this kind of situation and block the knife that should have landed on his back for him?

Xu Heng didn't know where he was for a moment.

However, even if his brain wasn't fully aware of the body's long-established response, it was still very fast. Xu Heng instinctively turned and took Luo Yi who was lying in his embrace, his originally calm eyes suddenly became cold and gloomy upon coming into contact with the blood stains on his back, and his sinister eyes snaked over the body of the person who ambushed him.

The man who was being stared at shuddered inexplicably.

It was just that it was painful, but when Luo Yi endured the pain and opened his eyes, he could still pat Xu Heng's shoulder to remind him of the figure that had suddenly rushed over.

Xu Heng hugged her with one hand and moved a lot slower than before. After dodging a dagger, it was absolutely impossible for him to dodge the blade that was thrusting towards him from the other direction. But no matter what, the Luo Yi he was protecting in his embrace, actually did not receive any additional injuries.

Luo Yi thought that she might have done something bad. When she raised his eyes, she saw that Xu Heng's gaze was right on her. As if he had seen through her mind, she suddenly smiled at her, which was completely different from before.

Luo Yi could not tell the specific difference, but she could clearly see the comfort in this gaze. Indeed, in the next second, Xu Heng bent her waist and pressed her face against hers, and said with a voice that was filled with gentleness: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Fortunately, he was still rational, and he knew that since the Alchemist Guild was going to probe them, they would be hiding nearby as well. Thus, he closed his eyes, forcing himself to suppress the unhappiness in his heart, and when he opened his eyes again, the surging killing intent in his eyes had already disappeared, replaced by a look of hatred and puzzlement.

He estimated the time in his mind and felt that it was about time to act. He recited the number three in his heart, and just as he finished his sentence, the sound of the Alchemist's deep voice came from the street corner not far away.

"Who is disturbing the peace here in broad daylight!?"

Even if he knew in his heart that he was not on the same side as this person, Luo Yi still couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he heard the Liefeng Priest's voice.

The lackeys that surrounded them immediately scattered when they heard the voice of the Intense Flaming Beast, who led Xu Heng down to chase after the group while supporting him. He was obviously one of the people that had been called over, but now he was pretending to be righteous as he asked: "Brother Xin, you have just arrived, how did you offend such a group of people?"

Xu Heng laughed coldly in his heart, but on the surface, he looked blank. "I don't know …"

He coughed twice in a timely manner, causing the infirmary to strongly support him before continuing, "I don't know that group of people, nor do I know who exactly I offended … Cough cough … My apologies to Brother Lian. "

The Medical Examiner was naturally well-mannered. Then, as if he had just noticed something, he let out a surprised cry: "Miss Luo is also injured? Is it serious? Let me see. "

Luo Yi had been in her embrace the entire time, with her face buried in her chest, only exposing her injured back. Right now, when she was about to hear's name from the infirmary, and was hesitating on whether she should raise her head and reply to him, she could sense that Xu Heng had pushed her even more forcefully into his embrace.

"No need." He then endured the pain in his arm and carried Luo Yi horizontally. Along the way, he avoided the hand that the Medical Examiner passed over that wanted to help, and when he met Luo Yi's astonished gaze, his face changed to a gentle expression in a second. "Don't worry, it's fine now."
