Chapter 568: Father and Brother

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Under the tree, the Old Marquis said to Yuchi Xiu, “Since Daya is fine, go find

Wei Ting.”

When Wei Ting fought with Slave Xiu, at first, he could still hear the commotion of the two of them fighting. Later on, the two of them fought further and further away, so he could not hear anything.

Wei Ting had not returned for a long time and it was still a little worrying.

Yuchi Xiu looked at the big black bear which secretly kicked the poison bag from time to time and felt that with it guarding the place, there shouldn’t be a problem.

“I’ll go with you,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

“You stay!” Yuchi Xiu refused without thinking.

Su Xiaoxiao raised the Spirit-Breaking Crossbow she had plundered from the Medicine Master of the Western Jin Dynasty. “Never underestimate the strength of a medicine master.”

Yuchi Xiu was speechless.

When the two of them followed the traces of the battle to the foot of the hill, the battle had already ended.

Wei Ting sat in an empty space with a lazy posture and an indifferent expression.

It was impossible to tell that his feet were stuck.

Beside him lay an unconscious gray-robed man. His face was covered by a bamboo hat.

“My Lord!”

Yuchi Xiu quickly walked forward and looked at Wei Ting, then at the man whose face was covered. He asked, “Who is he?”

“Slave Xiu,” Wei Ting said calmly.

“Ah…” Yuchi Xiu was dumbfounded. “You… killed Slave Xiu?”

“He’s not dead.” After Wei Ting finished speaking, he frowned and glanced at someone. “What’s with your expression? Could it be that I can’t kill him?” Yuchi Xiu muttered softly, “Don’t you Imow if you can kill him or not?”

Wei Ting looked at him indifferently. “Are you tired of living again?”

Yuchi Xiu stuck out his tongue and didn’t continue.

Wait.

What did he just do?

Yuchi Xiu covered his mouth.

It was all the fault of the old and disrespectful Marquis of Zhenbei for leading him astray!

Su Xiaoxiao walked over and tilted her head to look at him. “Is your foot stuck?”

The grass covered it. If one didn’t look carefully, one wouldn’t be able to tell.

Wei Ting replied coldly, “Yes.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him speechlessly. There was no one else who would still have the aura of the number one in the world after being trapped.

It was similar to a trap. The difference was that the sharp teeth on it were not sharp and did not immediately stab into Wei Ting’s flesh, but don’t think that this was not dangerous.

There was a mechanism underground, which was where Wei Ting was sitting.

As long as he got up, the mechanism would activate, allowing the trap to quickly close and cut off his entire foot.

Su Xiaoxiao put on her silver gloves. “Ordinary people can’t step on this mechanism, right? What luck do you have?”

Wei Ting stepped on it twice. The first time he hit the trap, and the second time, he activated the mechanism of the trap. In short, he was indeed unlucky.

Su Xiaoxiao used a dagger to pry open the trap and extracted Wei Ting’s numb foot. She asked Yuchi Xiu to find a stone to put in the trap.

She wanted to test the power of this mechanism.

When Yuchi Xiu helped Wei Ting up, there was a crisp crack as the entire stone was cut into pieces.

If this was a human foot…

Yuchi Xiu clicked his tongue. “Lord, your grandfather is ruthless.”

Wei Ting did not ask why Su Xiaoxiao was there. It would be strange if this girl stayed obediently in the Imperial Astronomy Center.

Seeing that she was fine, he asked, “Did you meet Marquis Su?”

Yuchi Xiu said, “I bumped into him. He’s in the forest over there. We’ll look for him later. Speaking of which, what’s with Slave Xiu? Why is he wearing a bamboo hat?”

With that, he squatted down and took off the bamboo hat on Slave Xiu’s face.

“So he looks like this. Eh? He’s not injured. Why did he faint?”

As Yuchi Xiu spoke, he took out a match and sized up Slave Xiu carefully again with the help of the fire. He realized that Slave Xiu’s forehead was green. He looked at Wei Ting again. A large bruise had also appeared on Wei Ting’s forehead.

His expression became indescribable. “No way, my Lord. You couldn’t beat him, so you played dirty and hit his head?”

What kind of childish fighting style was this?

Wei Ting said without changing his expression, “I didn’t.”

This was it.

Did Yuchi Xiu not understand him?

“What’s going on?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Wei Ting paused and told her what had happened.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “You mean that when he saw your iron bell, he was distracted and you took the opportunity to pounce on him and knock him out with your head?”

The peerless Lord Wei actually used his head to hammer someone. That scene was unimaginable.

Slave Xiu never expected to encounter such a shameless opponent.

Wei Ting said seriously, “This is called the Iron Head Technique. It’s a Shaolin martial art.”

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.

And so was Yuchi Xiu.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “When he fought with you in the forest, he said that he felt that you were familiar. Then, when he saw your iron bell, he immediately fell into a daze. He seems to know you. Could he be one of your brothers? Or… father?”

Wei Ting said, “No, my father and brothers don’t look like this.”

He had also suspected this possibility, so he did not hesitate to headbutt Slave Xiu. He actually only wanted to knock off his bamboo hat, but he seemed to have… used a little too much strength.

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. “He might have changed his appearance.”

Wei Ting: “Huh?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh, that’s right. He changed his appearance.”

Wei Ting said according to his understanding, “He didn’t wear a human skin mask or disguise.

Su Xiaoxiao walked over and tugged at Slave Xiu’s hair.

Slave Xiu woke up with a slurping sound.

He opened his eyes and sat up. He grabbed the sword beside him, but missed.

Not only that, but his head spun and he almost fell down again.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “Wei Ting hit your head quite hard.” Slave Xiu looked over.

Su Xiaoxiao was holding a baby bear in her arms and feeding it with a milk bottle.

The big black bear had just fought with the Old Marquis. Now, the man and the bear sat obediently at the entrance of the cave to reflect.

Wei Ting and Yuchi Xiu went to gather firewood and water, but they were not in the cave.

“The sword is here.” Su Xiaoxiao gestured to her side.

Slave Xiu looked at his sword and did not go forward to take it.

Su Xiaoxiao held the milk bottle and fed Little Bear while looking at Slave Xiu. “You’re very weak. Was it Wei Ting who hit you, or was it the backlash of your… cultivation?”

Slave Xiu said nothing.

Su Xiaoxiao could more or less guess from his expression. Wei Ting had given him a headache, but being so weak was the price to pay for the power of a death warrior.

After every battle, they fell into extreme weakness. The extent of their weakness was related to the strength of the battle. To put it bluntly, the more strength they used, the weaker they would be afterward.

During this period, even an ordinary person might be able to kill them. Otherwise, it would be too heaven-defying.

Slave Xiu felt that something was wrong with his body. He pulled open his sleeves and clothes to take a look and realized that all the injuries on his body had been treated.

He was not injured when he fought Wei Ting. They were all old injuries from before.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “You… don’t feel any pain when you fight.. After your body enters a weak period, the pain will double, right?”
