A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 784 - 716
Ji Youzhi carried Xiaosuisui all the way back to the Daoist Temple, placed her on the bed to rest, and only after making sure she was sleeping soundly did he leave the room.
He immediately encountered Xie Pan’Er.
"Seventh... Seventh Master!"
Xie Pan’Er was somewhat timid and didn’t quite dare to look Ji Youzhi in the eyes.
Ji Youzhi gave a faint nod, inclining his head slightly. "I’ll have to trouble Miss Xie to look after my Suisui."
Still with her head bowed, Xie Pan’Er mumbled, "You’re too kind, Seventh Master." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Ji Youzhi said nothing more, turned, and walked away.
The Emperor and the National Master, along with Dugu Xiao, Princess Ata, and a resentful-looking Li Yanyan, returned to the Daoist Temple one after another.
As soon as they gathered, the Emperor asked, "What should we do next?"
"First, we rest and reorganize. The army at the foot of the mountain, I estimate there are at least over ten thousand men. Fortunately, Xunyang was arrogant and underestimated the enemy this time. He didn’t bring those ten thousand troops up the mountain; otherwise, we would have been hopelessly outnumbered. Even if Xunyang had been immediately trapped by the Eldest Princess’s magic treasure upon arrival, we probably still wouldn’t have been able to escape."
After the National Master finished speaking, he set up an Array formation outside the Daoist Temple. In truth, whether this Array was set up or not didn’t make much difference. Xunyang had used the people of Yunhang County to refine an unknown number of Clones.
Moreover, what level was that Clone trapped by the Eldest Princess just now? Now that that Clone is trapped, I wonder if Xunyang will immediately abandon it and send another one?
The National Master looked up at the sky, his expression fraught with worry, and quickly began to make calculations with his fingers.
"What’s the result?" Princess Ata asked after a while.
The National Master shook his head. "The path ahead is unclear!"
"Unclear path ahead? What does that mean?" Dugu Xiao grew anxious. It wasn’t that he couldn’t understand; he was simply too worried! Ten thousand soldiers from Nanjiang were surrounding the foot of the mountain, and they had no idea when they might suddenly attack! As a General of Great Han, Dugu Xiao bore the responsibility of protecting his homeland. Yet, at this very moment, he didn’t have a single soldier under his command; he was effectively a general without an army!
"It means exactly what it says! Perhaps it’s because I consumed too much of my Power just now, so I couldn’t make an accurate calculation!"
After saying this calmly, the National Master turned and walked into a room. Before entering, he grabbed Li Yanyan by the collar and dragged her in with him.
The National Master sat down, had Li Yanyan stand before him, and asked with a frown, "Why are you so quiet today? Even when Xunyang’s Clone lunged for you, you were clearly so scared you wet your pants, yet you managed not to scream or cry out?"
Hearing this, Li Yanyan’s face turned slightly red. She lowered her head in great unease, and tears began to trickle down her cheeks.
"Is there something you can’t tell me?" the National Master pressed, puzzled by her reaction.
Li Yanyan looked up at the National Master, her lips quivering. Trembling sounds came from her throat, but she just couldn’t open her mouth!
"You can’t open your mouth?" The National Master stared at her, astonished and incredulous, as she struggled in vain to speak.
"MHM, MHM, MHM!" Li Yanyan nodded vigorously, her head bobbing like a pellet drum.
"You really can’t open your mouth? Why is that?"
Li Yanyan was questioned to the point of tears, which cascaded down her small face in large droplets, making her look just like a weeping beauty.
Seeing her like this, the National Master sighed inwardly. This young disciple of his is still young, barely five years of age. However, her beauty is already beginning to blossom. Although not as exquisite as the Eldest Princess, she isn’t far behind. If she were to cultivate the Charm Technique and combine it with a cunning mind, she might carve out a name for herself in the Jianghu in the future.
The National Master was lost in these thoughts for quite some time, and Li Yanyan cried for just as long. Eventually, she started hiccuping, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted from crying.
Seeing her faint, the National Master finally snapped back to his senses. He quickly checked her pulse and pressed her philtrum point. He then considered prescribing medicine, but then he remembered she couldn’t open her mouth. The medicine can’t very well be poured in through her nose, can it? So, he abandoned the idea.
Exiting the room into the Courtyard, he immediately saw Ji Youzhi writing a letter.
"Currently, none of us can go down the mountain. Even if you write that letter, there’s no way to send it out."
Ji Youzhi, hearing this, seemed unfazed and replied without lifting his head, "I naturally have my own methods. As long as my Suisui wakes up, there will naturally be a way to send this letter out!"
