Yu Xiaoshan’s expression suddenly changed: “That’s not right.”
Cheng Mo was very worried. In a fight between experts, every little mistake matters. No matter who he helped, it would probably cause a fatal injury to the other party. However, if both of them were allowed to continue fighting, it would be likely that both of them would be seriously injured. Cheng Mo couldn’t imagine the consequences of that, his heartbeat sped up and he took a step forward, using his internal energy to project his voice: “Stop!”
Hui Ji and Zi Xiao paused for a moment, but they obviously had no intention of stopping. Cheng Mo took advantage of this opportunity and threw himself between the two of them, using one hand to block Hui Ji’s slap and using the other to block Zi Xiao’s sword. Cheng Mo was not confident that he would be able to completely block attacks from both of them as they were using their full strength, but he was betting that the two of them would stop fighting if he intervened. He bet correctly, Hui Ji quickly withdrew his internal energy while Zi Xiao adjusted the movement of his sword so that it just grazed Cheng Mo’s arm. Unfortunately, it was impossible to be completely unscathed. Hui Ji’s palm still hit Cheng Mo and Zi Xiao’s sword energy still left a deep cut in Cheng Mo’s arm. Cheng Mo’s knees buckled and he stumbled forward, almost falling over. He gripped the wound on his arm and spat out a mouthful of blood. Zi Xiao and Hui Ji both stopped in their tracks, Zi Xiao stepped forward to support Cheng Mo and Hui Ji whispered: “Cheng Mo?”
Cheng Mo gasped out: “Stop, don’t fight.”
Jiang Wanrou, who had been standing on the platform watching them, pointed at Hui Ji and screamed: “Catch him!”
Jiang Wanrou’s whole body was shaking and she looked at Hui Ji in disbelief. At this point, how could she not be suspicious of this person’s identity? It was so terrifying, the person she wanted to kill the most nearly became her husband! Cheng Mo’s expression changed and he looked at Hui Ji, hissing: “Leave!”
Zi Xiao let go of Cheng Mo and held his sword tightly, pointing it at Hui Ji. Cheng Mo grabbed Zi Xiao’s arm, shook his head and pleaded: “Zi Xiao, don’t…”
After speaking, he turned to look at Hui Ji: “Are you still not leaving?”
Hui Ji’s gaze fell on Cheng Mo and Zi Xiao’s figures. He quickly retreated, using martial arts to leave the arena. The Jiang family’s guards chased after Hui Ji and the young heroes who wanted to please Miss Jiang also chased after him. Cheng Mo was not worried, he believed that none of those people could be Hui Ji’s opponent. He just held onto Zi Xiao’s arm tightly and spat out more blood. Zi Xiao placed his palm on his back and guided his internal energy into Cheng Mo’s body, suppressing his tumultuous internal energy. Cheng Mo said softly: “Zi Xiao…”
Zi Xiao looked at his hand that was holding onto him tightly and replied calmly: “I won’t chase him, you can let go.”
Cheng Mo raised his head and looked at Zi Xiao, subconsciously tightening his hold on his arm, as he said: “I…”
He trailed off as a wave of dizziness washed over him and he fainted. Zi Xiao wrapped his arm around his waist and picked him up. He began walking out of the arena, ignoring the commotion. Zi Xiao wanted to leave, but he was blocked by Yue Chaosong. Yue Chaosong cupped his hands and said respectfully: “Taoist Zi Xiao, Leader Cheng is injured and it is not convenient for him to walk. Why don’t you follow us back to our courtyard and we will treat his injuries. Wanrou also has a few questions she would like to ask Leader Cheng.”
Zi Xiao looked down at Cheng Mo’s bloody arm. Instead of internal injuries, Zi Xiao was more worried that his sword had damaged the tendons in Cheng Mo’s arm and it was crucial for him to seek expert treatment as soon as possible. Yue Chaosong seemed to notice what Zi Xiao was thinking and said quickly: “Isn’t Immortal Doctor Qin still here? If we return to the other courtyard, we can ask Immortal Doctor Qin to immediately treat Leader Cheng. What do you think about this, Taoist Zi Xiao?”
Zi Xiao finally nodded and said: “Thank you for your efforts.”
When Cheng Mo woke up again, he was lying on his bed in the Jiang family’s courtyard’s guest rooms. Beside the bed, Qin Fangchuan was taking his pulse with an expressionless face; not far from the bed stood Yue Chaosong and Jiang Wanrou who had a veil over her face. Further away, Xue Tinghua and Yu Xiaoshan were seated on chairs under the window. Only Zi Xiao was nowhere to be seen. Qin Fangchuan removed his fingers from Cheng Mo’s wrist and said: “The internal injuries are not serious. The arm was injured by sword energy and one of his tendons was torn, it needs to be sutured as soon as possible.”
Hearing this, Yue Chaosong said: “Thank you for your hard work, Immortal Doctor Qin.”
Qin Fangchuan glanced at Cheng Mo before lowering his gaze and saying: “Call my servant in.”
Yu Xiaoshan stood up and said: “I’ll go.”
At the same time, Jiang Wanrou had been staring at Cheng Mo’s face. Seeing that he had woken up, she took two steps forward and questioned: “Leader Cheng, may I ask who was the person on stage today?”
Cheng Mo wanted to speak, but he felt slightly suffocated, so he took a slow breath and answered: “Wasn’t that Miss Jiang’s guest?”
Jiang Wanrou shrieked: “That was not Ma Sheng at all! It seems like Leader Cheng knows better than me!”
Cheng Mo shook his head lightly: “I don’t know.”
Jiang Wanrou frowned, seemingly unable to control her emotions. When she was about to speak, Yue Chaosong grabbed her arm and said: “I think it’s better to let Leader Cheng recover before discussing this again. I have already sent people to search all over Suzhou. As long as that man is still in Suzhou, we will definitely capture him.”
Jiang Wanrou took a deep breath, calmed herself down and said: “Leader Cheng, please have a good rest.”
After that, she turned around and left the room.
Yu Xiaoshan’s expression suddenly changed: “That’s not right.”
