The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Time passed like a slowly flowing stream, and before we knew it it was already afternoon.

Hou Jinwei walked into the store slowly, looked at the busy waiter, and said with a smile: "You can go back early today, after all, you have that woman to help you today."

When the waiter heard this, a bright smile suddenly broke out on his face, his eyes full of surprise.

He quickly stopped what he was doing, bowed deeply to Hou Jinwei, and said gratefully: "Thank you, boss! I was thinking about coming back earlier, and now it's just right." The waiter was very happy, thinking that he could finally go back and rest early.

Hou Jinwei looked at the excited waiter, shook his head slightly, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Then, his eyes fell on Tuoba Yu who was cleaning.

Seeing her skillful movements and focused expression, Hou Jinwei couldn't help but feel a little fond of her.

Hou Jinwei walked up to her with a kind smile on his face and asked softly, "Girl, what's your name?"

Tuoba Yu was slightly stunned. She didn't want to reveal her true identity, so she made up a name and said, "My name is Nian'er."

Her eyes were clear and calm, without a single flaw to be seen.

Hou Jinwei nodded, muttering the name "Nian'er" softly.

He looked at Tuoba Yu, secretly wondering about the origins of this woman.

But he didn't ask any more questions, he just smiled and said, "Miss Nian'er, you have worked hard."

Tuoba Yu nodded slightly, a shy smile appeared on his face, and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper."

It was finally late at night and the inn, which had been bustling all day, finally closed.

Hou Jinwei let out a long sigh, a look of joy on his face.

He looked at Tuoba Yu and said earnestly, "Miss Nian'er, I have arranged a room for you, please follow me." As he said that, he led the way.

Tuoba Yu followed silently, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. After entering the room, Tuoba Yu was about to rest, but suddenly saw Hou Jinwei still standing at the door.

She suddenly felt strange and frowned slightly.

At this moment, she suddenly saw a lustful light in Hou Jinwei's eyes.

Tuoba Yu understood what was going on instantly, but she still decided to pretend to be confused.

She raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of doubt, and asked softly, "Boss, is there anything else?"

Hou Jinwei was slightly stunned when asked by Tuoba Yu, but he quickly returned to his lustful look.

He rubbed his hands, smiled, and said, "Miss Nian'er, aren't you afraid of living alone? How about I accompany you?"

Tuoba Yu felt disgusted in his heart, but his face remained calm.

She shook her head slightly and said firmly: "Thank you for your kindness, shopkeeper. I am not afraid. Shopkeeper, please go back. I want to rest."

Hou Jinwei's face showed an even more obscene look, and he approached Tuoba Yu step by step. His eyes were full of greed and desire, and he said: "Nian'er, don't you need money? As long as you serve me well, I will give you a lot of money." As he said that, he opened his arms and wanted to hug Tuoba Yu.

Tuoba Yu dodged Hou Jinwei's approach and shouted, "Boss, don't do anything stupid!"

Her eyes were filled with anger.

However, Hou Jinwei was so overwhelmed by desire at this time that he could not listen to Tuoba Yu's words.

He continued to pounce on Tuoba Yu, muttering, "Little beauty, stop hiding and obey me." Tuoba Yu continued to avoid Hou Jinwei's dirty hands.

Tuoba Yu looked at Hou Jinwei who was pressing him step by step, and the anger on his face could no longer be concealed, and was replaced by a sneer.

Her eyes became cold and sharp, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.

"In that case, don't blame me for being rude." Her voice was not loud, but full of majesty and determination.

After saying that, Tuoba Yu suddenly raised his hand and slapped Hou Jinwei hard.

The crisp sound of "pop" was particularly loud in the silent room.

Hou Jinwei never expected Tuoba Yu to resist. He covered his beaten cheek with his hands, his eyes filled with astonishment and anger.

"You bitch, how dare you hit me!" Hou Jinwei roared, and the anger in his heart was instantly ignited.

His expression turned ferocious, like an enraged beast. "I'm going to kill you today!"

Tuoba Yu looked at Hou Jinwei fearlessly, without a trace of fear in his heart.

She knew that there was no way out now and she could only face it bravely.

Just as Hou Jinwei pounced on him again, Tuoba Yu quickly displayed his martial arts.

Her figure is as light as a swallow and her movements are as agile as a leopard.

She just flashed and avoided Hou Jinwei's attack.

Then she turned around and kicked Hou Jinwei in the abdomen.

Hou Jinwei was kicked back by Tuoba Yu, his eyes widened in disbelief. He never thought that this seemingly weak woman could actually practice martial arts.

"You...you actually know martial arts?" Hou Jinwei stuttered, his heart filled with fear.

Tuoba Yu looked at Hou Jinwei coldly, his eyes full of disdain.

"Do you think I'm just an ordinary woman? Today I'll let you know what will happen if you mess with me." Her voice was as cold as ice, making people shudder.

There was a cold murderous intent flashing in Tuoba Yu's eyes. She stared at Hou Jinwei closely and approached him step by step.

Her hands were trembling slightly, an expression of anger and determination.

"Humph, you're begging for mercy now? It's too late!" Tuoba Yu's voice was as cold as ice. "How dare you treat me so frivolously? I will take your life today."

Her face was full of anger and determination, without the slightest hesitation.

Hou Jinwei looked at Tuoba Yu in horror, his face was as pale as paper and his eyes were full of despair.

He fell to his knees on the ground and kowtowed for mercy.

"Miss Nian'er, I was wrong. I was really wrong. Please forgive me. I won't dare to do it again."

Hou Jinwei's voice trembled and tears welled up in his eyes.

His body kept shaking like a frightened rabbit.

Tuoba Yu looked at Hou Jinwei who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, without a trace of pity in his heart.

Her eyes were still cold, as if she was looking at a dead person.

"Do you think I will believe you? People like you deserve death." Tuoba Yu's tone was full of disgust. "If I forgive you today, I don't know how many women will fall victim to your murderous hands in the future."

Hou Jinwei collapsed on the ground in despair, knowing that he had no chance of survival.

His eyes were full of regret, regretting that he should not have acted on impulse and provoked this terrible woman.

"Miss Nian'er, I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance to atone for my sins." Hou Jinwei's voice had become hoarse and his eyes were full of pleading.

Tuoba Yu raised his chin slightly, his eyes full of disdain.

"Atonement? Do you think atonement can make up for the sins you have committed? You must die today."

Tuoba Yu's eyes flashed, and his hands moved as fast as lightning.

She stabbed at Hou Jinwei without hesitation, and the sword blade instantly penetrated Hou Jinwei's body.

Hou Jinwei's eyes widened, his face full of shock and fear, and his body slowly fell down.

Tuoba Yu looked at Hou Jinwei, who had already lost his life, with a sneer on his face.

"This is what happens to you," Tuoba Yu said coldly. She kicked Hou Jinwei's body away, as if she was dealing with a trivial piece of trash.

Then, I fell asleep. The next day, sunlight shone through the window into the lobby of the inn.

The waiter hummed a little tune and came into the store in a happy mood, ready to start a new day's work.

However, when he saw Tuoba Yu standing on the counter with an icy face, he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

"Miss Nian'er, what's wrong? Why do you look so bad?" the waiter asked cautiously, his eyes full of concern.

Tuoba Yu raised her eyes slightly, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. She took a deep breath and slowly said, "Last night, Hou Jinwei tried to do something bad to me, but I killed him."

Her voice was calm and indifferent, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

After hearing what Tuoba Yu said, the waiter's face turned pale instantly.

"What? The shopkeeper...he actually..." The waiter stuttered, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Tuoba Yu looked at the panicked waiter, without a single ripple in his heart.

She knew that this matter would be discovered sooner or later, and she was prepared to deal with it.

"Don't panic, this has nothing to do with you." Tuoba Yu said calmly, "I just want to tell you that you don't have to work for such people anymore."

The waiter's eyes were full of disbelief. He looked back and forth at Tuoba Yu, his heart full of doubts.

"Miss Nian'er, how could a girl like you kill the shopkeeper?" Tuoba Yu's face was still cold. She did not answer the waiter's question, but picked up a stool.

There was a gleam of sharpness in her eyes, and she used both hands to pry the bench apart. With a "snap", the bench instantly broke into two pieces.

The waiter opened his eyes wide, his mouth opened wide, his face full of astonishment.

He looked at the broken stool in Tuoba Yu's hand, and a strong shock surged in his heart.

"This...this..." The waiter stammered and was unable to speak.

Tuoba Yu threw the broken stool to the ground with a dull sound.

She looked at the waiter and said calmly, "Do you believe it now? I am strong enough to kill him."

The waiter swallowed and nodded slowly.

His eyes were full of awe, and he had a new understanding of Tuoba Yu's strength.

"Miss Nian'er, you are so amazing. I didn't expect you to have such a strong strength."

Tuoba Yu's eyes revealed a hint of determination. She looked at the waiter and said slowly, "I just wanted to earn some money, but I killed Hou Jinwei yesterday and found a lot of money in his house. Now I can leave. This shop will be yours from now on."

When the waiter heard this, he immediately shook his head in panic, his face full of fear.

"Miss Nian'er, this is not possible. How can I be the shopkeeper?" His voice trembled slightly, and he was obviously very uneasy about this sudden proposal.

Tuoba Yu frowned slightly and said impatiently: "Do it or not, I'm leaving anyway."

After saying this, she ignored the waiter, turned around and walked out of the store.

The waiter stood at the door of the store, his eyes still filled with panic. His mind was blank and he had not yet recovered from this sudden change.

At this time, Tuoba Yu had already mounted his horse, and his figure was getting farther and farther away.

Tuoba Yu, sitting on horseback, was eager to return home.

She held the reins tightly and looked ahead with a determined look.

When she thought about the possibility of meeting Xi Xiyu, her heart was filled with anticipation, but also a little bit of trepidation. She didn't know if Xi Yu was still thinking about her.

"Will he forgive me? Has he forgotten me?" Tuoba Yu pondered in his heart, feeling uneasy.

She recalled every moment she spent with Xi Xiyu, and those wonderful times seemed to be still before her eyes.

How she wished she could return to him again and confess her longing and guilt to him.

The wind whistled past his ears, and Tuoba Yu's hair fluttered in the wind.

She kept urging the horse to speed up, as if only this could alleviate the uneasiness in her heart.

She knew that she had to face Xi Xiyu bravely, and no matter what the outcome, she would be responsible for her actions.

On the other side, Xi Yu sat quietly in Gan Mei's room, with a trace of fatigue and helplessness on his face.

Gan Mei looked at Xi Yu anxiously and insisted, "Let's ask a few more doctors to take a look. Maybe there is a way."

Xi Yu frowned slightly, sighed and said, "It's useless to read it, forget it."

However, looking at Gan Mei's expectant eyes, he finally softened his heart and agreed to her request.

After a while, several doctors came into the room.

They all looked solemn as they carefully examined Xi Yu's body.

Everyone is thinking carefully about the condition and giving his or her own diagnosis.

However, disappointingly, each doctor came to a different conclusion.

Xi Yu’s expression became increasingly ugly, and his irritability became increasingly intense.

"You quacks!" Xi Yu finally couldn't help but curse loudly, "Each person has his own opinion, is there any correct one?"

His eyes were full of anger and disappointment, as if he wanted to eat these doctors alive.

Several doctors were scolded by Xi Yu until their faces turned red, but they dared not refute. They could only lower their heads and silently endure his anger.

Xi Yu turned to look at Gan Mei and said firmly, "It's better not to go to random doctors. These doctors are not reliable at all."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Gan Mei's eyes, but she also knew that what Xi Yu said made sense.

She nodded slightly.

That day, Song Shuwen embarked on a journey to find medicine with great anticipation.

He traveled through mountains and rivers, experienced hardships all the way, and finally arrived at the place he desired in his heart.

His eyes were gleaming with excitement as he looked around, carefully searching for the medicine he needed.

After a careful search, Song Shuwen finally found the medicine he had been dreaming of on a mountain.

At that moment, his heart was filled with joy and excitement, as if he had found the most precious treasure in the world.

He hurriedly and carefully picked the herbs and put them into a sack that had been prepared long ago.

Every time he placed a plant, a happy smile appeared on his face.

While he was busy, he secretly felt glad that his persistence and hard work were not in vain.

When the sack was full, Song Shuwen stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Just as Song Shuwen was looking at the sacks full of medicine with joy, a horse-drawn carriage suddenly came galloping over.

The carriage was moving at a very fast speed and suddenly stopped in front of Song Shuwen, raising a cloud of dust.

Immediately afterwards, several people jumped off the carriage quickly. Each of them held a big knife, had a fierce look on their face, and rushed towards Song Shuwen aggressively.

Song Shuwen was shocked and his face turned pale instantly.

However, at this critical moment, several secret guards appeared quickly like ghosts.

They were agile and had stern eyes, and they fought with the knife-wielding men without hesitation.

The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

The sound of swords clashing was endless and the scene was very tense.

A secret guard was fighting fiercely with the enemy while shouting to Song Shuwen: "Leave quickly! It's dangerous here!"

Song Shuwen looked at the fierce battle scene and felt a little flustered.

But he also knew that he couldn't drag down the secret guards at this time. He gritted his teeth, hugged the sack tightly, turned around and ran quickly in a safe direction.

Just as Song Shuwen was fleeing in panic, an enemy suddenly threw a medicine bag into the air.

The medicine packets scattered in the air, and the powdery substance spread instantly.

Seeing this, several secret guards screamed "Ah!" They immediately felt something strange in their bodies and their bodies began to shake.

These enemies were obviously well prepared. Taking advantage of the moment when the secret guards lost their combat effectiveness, one of them quickly rushed towards Song Shuwen and grabbed his neck at an extremely fast speed.

Song Shuwen widened his eyes in horror and wanted to struggle but was powerless.

Soon, he fell into a coma.

At this time, the atmosphere on the mountain became extremely tense.

The secret guards tried hard to stay awake and rescue Song Shuwen, but their weak bodies made it difficult for them to move.

The enemies looked at the unconscious Song Shuwen smugly, as if they were sure of victory.

Another day passed quietly, and Xi Yu sat in Gan Mei's room, full of worry.

He frowned and kept thinking about where Song Shuwen had gone.

"Why hasn't Song Shuwen come back yet? And why didn't the secret guards pass on any news? He should have told me whether I can get the medicine or not." Xi Yu muttered to himself, his face full of anxiety.

He became more and more worried and kept pacing around the room, as if this could ease his anxiety.

Gan Mei looked at Xi Yu, her eyes full of heartache.

She found that Xiyu seemed to have lost weight, and his originally handsome face now looked a little haggard.

Xi Ping'an was still unconscious, his face was pale and he had a slight fever.

Gan Mei wiped Xi Ping'an's forehead from time to time, hoping to make him feel more comfortable.

Last night, several ladies came to visit little Xi Ping'an. They all looked worried and were distressed about the child's illness.

Xi Yu stopped and looked at Xi Ping'an, his eyes full of love and worry.

How he hoped that Song Shuwen could come back with medicine as soon as possible to save this poor child. (End of this chapter)
