C12 Grace to save one's life
"Damn it! So you still have reinforcements! "
Lei Jinghu glared angrily at Tie Muyuan. He knew that Steward Zhao must have come to save Tie Muyuan. Although he didn't understand why the Treasure House valued Tie Muyuan so much, he knew that if he didn't take revenge today, it would only become more troublesome in the future!
"It seems like I can't capture you alive. I can only kill you!"
"Manager Zhao, I can't save you!"
Lei Jinghu sneered. At this moment, he was less than a hundred feet away from Tie Muyuan, but Steward Zhao was still a thousand feet away!
"Die!"
Lei Jinghu roared. With a wave of his hand, a dagger flew out from his sleeve and landed in his hand. Lei Jinghu held the dagger in one hand as the spiritual energy in his body flowed into the dagger through his arm. He saw that the originally ordinary dagger was now covered with a layer of azure light!
On a closer look, that layer of azure light was actually made up of countless tiny lightning bolts!
A formless and powerful aura emanated from the short blade, heading straight for Tie Muyuan's face!
"This is bad!"
Tie Muyuan's complexion changed. That short blade was obviously a good weapon, and he was simply unable to defend against it!
"Damn beast!"
In the distance, Chief Steward Zhao saw that Lei Jinghu didn't stop and instead took out his magic tool, as if he was going to put Tie Muyuan to death. He couldn't help but curse; this was something that the Lady had told him to do.
Thinking to this, Manager Zhao waved his hand. A small bow the size of a palm slipped out from his sleeve and landed in his hand. With a breath, it became a three feet long bow, and an arrow had appeared in his hand.
He nocked an arrow, aimed, and fired!
In one breath!
Swish!
The arrow was like a shooting star. It instantly crossed a distance of 100 feet and whistled towards Lei Jinghu!
"Die!"
Lei Jinghu brandished his saber. With this cut, Tie Muyuan would definitely be cut in half!
Facing Lei Jinghu's attack, Tie Muyuan's face was pale, and he felt a deep sense of helplessness!
His cultivation level was low, and he didn't have any magic tools. He had no way of avoiding them. He couldn't even avoid them!
Swoosh!
Just as Lei Jinghu's saber was no more than a few feet away from Tie Muyuan and was about to land on his head, a ray of light shot out and nailed him onto his arm!
"AHH!" Lei Jinghu cried out in pain as he was sent flying by the force of the arrow. The dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter!
"If you don't stop now, kill me!"
Chief Steward Zhao shouted again. He jumped up from the horse at the same time, and with a leap, he sprung up from the ground about a hundred feet away. He then jumped up again and flew towards the house.
Lei Jinghu was sent flying by the arrow. Facing an expert like Manager Zhao, no one dared to act rashly. The few people who had just started the fight all stopped and stood there with a strange expression on their faces.
"Phew, damn it, I almost missed it!"
Supervisor Zhao quickly rushed over and glared at Lei Jinghu who was covering his arm and sucking in a cold breath. He shouted coldly: "Lei Jinghu! I told you to stop! Why didn't you listen! "
"Humph!"
Lei Jinghu's anger reached a crescendo. However, he didn't dare to offend Steward Zhao and could only snort coldly.
Manager Zhao's face was gloomy, his tiger-like eyes stared straight at Lei Jinghu, and he said coldly: "Lei Jinghu! Tie Muyuan is an esteemed guest of the Treasure House! Whoever dares to make a move against Tie Muyuan and the people of the Iron Mountain Gang would become enemies with our Treasure House! "Go back and tell your father. If he wants to take revenge for you, then I'll ask him to think twice before making a decision!"
In fact, Steward Zhao was puzzled when he said this. Why was Miss so interested in a poor kid like Tie Muyuan? Could it be because of Tie Muyuan's talent in crafting talismans that he wanted to invest in Tie Muyuan?
But that wouldn't mean he would offend the Wind Lightning Stronghold and kill himself because of Tie Muyuan!
Even though the Treasure House had a large and powerful force and influence, as the saying goes, a strong dragon won't crush a snake in its head. Normally, the Treasure House still sold the Wind Lightning Stronghold some face, so the young miss would understand this principle.
Of course, for Steward Zhao, even though he was doubtful, it was the right decision to obediently carry out the orders of the young mistress.
Yesterday, the Miss had instructed him to ensure Tie Muyuan's safe return. When he received the news that Tie Muyuan and the others had left the Maoshan Market, Steward Zhao had led his men here. However, he had been too late and had almost caused a disaster!
Lei Jinghu's face darkened to the extreme. It looked as if it was going to rain and thunder. He held his arm and panted heavily, as if his endless anger could erupt at any time.
But in the end, he still snorted coldly, gritting his teeth as a low voice came from his throat: "Let's go!"
With that, he turned around and quickly left without looking back.
The remaining three members of the Storm Stronghold also took their two charred corpses and the heavily injured, dark-faced man and left in a panic.
"Thank you, senior, for saving my life!"
Tie Muyuan walked up to Steward Zhao and deeply bowed in thanks. Tie Huaimin and the other three came up to thank him as well, but their expressions were filled with amazement.
What happened today was truly unimaginable. First, Lei Jinghu wanted to kill them. Then, the famous and noble Manager Zhao from the Treasure House actually saved them. Furthermore, he seemed to be under the orders of some Miss!
The few of them secretly cast a glance at Tie Muyuan. They all felt that this nephew of their seemed to be unable to see through him.
"No need to be so courteous …"
Chief Steward Zhao chuckled and helped Tie Muyuan up, saying with a smile, "I've also come under the orders of my Lady. If you want to thank me, you can thank my Lady one day!"
"I will definitely pay my respects to Miss Su one day!" Tie Muyuan said seriously.
In the Treasure House, Su Su Su might have only helped him, but now, he had truly saved his life!
As Tie Muyuan thought of the elegant young girl in the yellow robe, an incomparable amount of gratitude welled up from within his heart.
...
Tie Muyuan and the others had been escorted by Supervisor Zhao all the way back to the Iron Mountain Camp.
After declining Tie Muyuan's invitation to have a cup of tea, Manager Zhao went back to report to the Miss, leaving behind a group of people from the Iron Mountain Village who were still in confusion.
Ah Yuan and the others were actually sent here by Chief Steward Zhao!
He was a reputable big shot in the area with a radius of a few hundred miles!
The village was only so big and there were only so many people. The news quickly spread throughout the entire Tieshan Mountain Range, so Tie Muyuan had no choice but to explain the reason to his parents and report it to the people inside the village.
When they found out that Tie Muyuan had been accepted by the mysterious expert as his disciple, the entire stronghold was stirred up. Everyone was extremely envious of Tie Mu's original good luck!
However, a bucket of cold water was poured over the Iron Mountain Gang's Iron Mountain Gang.
Two clansmen who had gone hunting in the mountains had returned. One of them was seriously injured while the other was slightly injured.
The culprit was someone from the Ancient Plum Village!
