Chapter 136 Do you understand respecting the elderly and caring for the young?
Su Huaiqi was woken up by Lin Feiran shaking him.
She propped her head up with one hand, feeling dizzy from the shaking, and couldn't help but complain in her heart: This is too outrageous! She wasn't even that close to the explosion, yet she still lost consciousness from it.
This body is far too delicate…
And to be honest, it's really embarrassing to be woken up by someone shaking you so roughly.
When Lin Feiran saw that Su Huaiqi had opened her eyes, she immediately shoved her into Chen Kangnian's hands and then stood in front of her without looking back, leaving Su Huaiqi staring blankly at Chen Kangnian with her big, slightly bewildered eyes.
"Uncle Chen, what's wrong?" Su Huaiqi had just opened her eyes, suppressing the dizziness in her head, and asked softly as she stood next to Chen Kangnian.
She noticed that everyone except her and Chen Kangnian was carrying weapons, and even the usually gentle Lin Feiran was holding a golden needle and standing in front of them.
"It's nothing, I just ran into some people I didn't want to see."
As Chen Kangnian spoke, the smoke and dust from the explosion at the cave entrance gradually dissipated, and the blurred vision finally became clearer.
Su Huaiqi then noticed that there was a group of people in the cave, a group of people she had never seen before.
There were about twenty or thirty of them, all dressed in black, armed with weapons, and they looked quite fierce.
The noise and shaking were most likely related to this group of people.
Su Huaiqi pulled her gaze back and quickly scanned her surroundings. She found Yu Zechuan and the others ahead. Although they looked a bit disheveled, they didn't seem to have suffered any serious injuries. Seeing this, Su Huaiqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The seniors remained silent, and she dared not show herself easily. She gently shook her head, and after feeling the dizziness lessen, she took out the short knife hidden at her waist and deftly twirled it in her hand.
Chen Kangnian noticed Su Huaiqi's actions, smiled slightly, and then looked up at the stranger who had appeared in front of him.
"What do you all mean by this?"
The man in black at the head of the group did not answer Chen Kangnian's question. Instead, he quickly recalled the instructions the leader had given him before they set off: whoever they encountered on the mountain, no matter who they were, they should be eliminated completely.
The man in black quickly scanned the area. The number of people in front of him was no match for theirs, and there were even women among them. Without saying a word, he raised his hand and waved behind him.
Su Huaiqi watched the men in black closely, not expecting them to skip the formalities and attack directly. Just as he was about to rush out and unleash his skills, Chen Kangnian pulled him back.
"Don't cause trouble, protect yourself."
Su Huaiqi felt somewhat helpless, but she couldn't refute it, so she could only obediently stay by Chen Kangnian's side and watch the others fight with the men in black.
Although she can't use her body, she can use her mouth.
"Senior Xuan, be careful! Three people have appeared behind you."
"Wow, four against one, don't you guys feel ashamed?"
"Don't you understand the concept of respecting the elderly and caring for the young? How can you have the nerve to lay a hand on these seniors?"
"Go, Ayu! Show these people what you're capable of."
...
Just as Su Huaiqi's throat was getting dry from shouting and she was about to take a break, she suddenly realized that Chen Kangnian had somehow moved further away from her.
And the little black snake that had been obediently perched on her shoulder had also disappeared.
Although the men in black had the advantage in numbers, Yu Zechuan and his group were not to be underestimated. After a fight, neither group gained the upper hand.
The leader noticed the casualties on their side. Although the other side also had injuries of varying degrees, they still had a mission to complete and could not fight to the death with the other side.
Even if they were to fight to the death, they probably wouldn't be a match for the other side.
Thinking of this, the man in black couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
Hearing the question from the other end, Su Huaiqi couldn't help but roll her eyes. When Uncle Chen asked you a question, you didn't answer, but now that you're halfway through the fight and realize you can't win, you want to talk.
Hmph! No…
Before Su Huaiqi could finish complaining, he heard Uncle Chen's calm reply from the side.
"We are just tourists in the mountains, and we came here to climb mountains and enjoy the scenery."
The man in black seemed to sense that Chen Kangnian wasn't telling him the truth, and sneered, "Heh, carrying weapons while climbing a mountain, I'm afraid you don't really want to climb it."
“I was carrying weapons just to protect myself, and that’s how I ended up running into you scoundrels.” Su Huaiqi put his hands on his hips and retorted without thinking.
The man in black was surprised by the woman's boldness. He paused for a moment and then continued, "If it's mountain climbing, how did you manage to climb inside the mountain?"
"What business is it of yours which mountain I climb? Is this mountain yours or is it in your name? You're really meddling."
"You... sharp-tongued and ungrateful." The man in black was already furious after being rebuked twice by Su Huaiqi, so he threw a hidden weapon directly in Su Huaiqi's direction.
Su Huaiqi reacted quickly, twirling his short knife in an attempt to deflect the hidden weapon. However, before the weapon could even get close, it was knocked to the ground by Yu Zechuan, who was standing guard nearby.
Easily dodging the hidden weapon thrown by the man in black, Su Huaiqi's lips curled into a mocking smile.
"Oh, so you resort to violence when you can't win an argument? This is the worst kind of manners the Weiyulou has ever had."
Seeing that his hidden weapon had been easily dodged, and that Su Huaiqi had revealed their origins in a single sentence, the man in black's face immediately turned grim, and a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
"Now that you know who we are, we can't let you leave alive."
ummm
Su Huaiqi was speechless. Actually, she only had a guess, but she didn't expect that the explosion would actually bring it to light.
However, judging from the current situation, it's unlikely that she'll make things worse.
But why would the disciples of Weiyu Tower want to blast the mountain? Could it be that Weiyu Tower also knows that the Seven Star Stone Formation is located on Qingri Peak?
Filled with doubt, Su Huaiqi glanced around and, seeing that none of the seniors around him spoke, slowly said again, "You have little skill but a big mouth. It seems that Master Yun is not good at judging people. How could he entrust such an important task to someone as brainless as you?"
In the end, Su Huaiqi looked at the man in black with a hint of regret, and then let out a long sigh.
The man in black was somewhat confused by Su Huaiqi's tone and the content of his speech.
The more he listened, the more he felt that the group of people in front of him seemed to know the poster, and even had a good relationship with him.
So, should we fight this group or not? Should we kill them or not?
The man in black frowned, utterly perplexed by what he saw.
Seeing the change in the man in black's expression, Su Huaiqi was secretly pleased. She knew that her words had worked and successfully misled the man in black.
"Alright, you still have missions to complete, so don't waste any more time with us. As for who we are, you'll find out when you get back and ask your master." Su Huaiqi waved his hand casually, continuing to deceive the men in black without batting an eye.
The other men in black were also somewhat bewildered by Su Huaiqi's familiar tone, and they all looked up at the leader in the middle, seemingly waiting for him to give a clear judgment.
The leader of the men in black had intended to have a brief discussion with the others, but when he turned his head, he noticed the intense gazes of the others and immediately felt a surge of pressure.
He had no choice but to turn around, hoping to exchange a few more words with Su Huaiqi and see if he could get any other information.
Su Huaiqi noticed that the person opposite him had relaxed his guard, so he quickly reached out and tugged at Yu Zechuan's sleeve, and gave him a look.
Yu Zechuan nodded subtly to Su Huaiqi, glanced at the leader with some disdain, and then, with lightning speed, flashed in front of the man in black, wielding his sword to stab him hard in the chest.
The man in black was caught off guard by Yu Zechuan's sudden attack. He quickly dodged to the side to retaliate, but it was too late. He was stabbed by Yu Zechuan's longsword and felt a sharp pain in his chest. He was sent flying and fell to the ground unconscious.
Su Huaiqi coldly watched the figure of the man in black flying backward, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
Seeing their leader killed, the other men in black finally reacted and rushed towards Yu Zechuan with their weapons raised. Yu Zechuan sneered, his figure flashing like a ghost behind the nearest man in black. He kicked the man hard in the back and used the force to fly out of the crowd, returning to Su Huaiqi's side.
The man in black, who had been kicked to the ground, struggled to his feet, his face filled with anger and fear. He hadn't expected these people to be so powerful.
"Kill them! Avenge our leader!"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted something, and the men in black looked at each other, then gritted their teeth and charged towards Su Huaiqi and his group.
Su Huaiqi felt no fear as he watched the charging enemies; instead, he felt a surge of excitement and thrill. He was about to flash a sword flourish when Yu Zechuan pushed him to the very back.
She was right next to Chen Kangnian, in her old spot.
"Wait for me behind you and take care of yourself."
"... "
Su Huaiqi crossed his arms in anger, just about to do something, when he heard a hissing sound in his ear.
This is definitely not a sound effect that a small black snake could achieve.
Following the sound, they saw a swarm of snakes crawling out from the scattered pebbles and quickly surrounding them.
Oh my god...
How did we end up in a snake pit again?!
Wait a minute, something seems off.
Su Huaiqi noticed that the snakes that appeared seemed to only attack the men in black, and not a single snake moved towards them.
Just as Su Huaiqi was still struggling with her decision, she suddenly heard Chen Kangnian's voice.
"Miss Su, is that your little black snake?"
