New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

In a quiet village, outside a dilapidated house, stood a young man in black, his figure as straight as a pine tree, his eyes deep and sharp, as if he could see through everything. His figure blended into the night, like a cheetah lurking in the darkness, ready to attack at any time.

This person was the one Xiao Zhihang had specially arranged to follow Xiao Yanzi and her companions to protect their safety. Although he knew that Xiao Yanzi and her companions were highly skilled in martial arts and were fully capable of dealing with various dangers, he still felt that they should be given more protection. After all, one more person to protect them means one more strength. Even if they could not directly help at a critical moment, they could at least seek help in time.

Hearing the master's question coming from inside the house, the young man's face was as calm as water, and he simply told the young ladies what had happened today.

"The young ladies and their friends were ambushed by Japanese pirates, but they were capable enough to protect themselves. During this period, two disciples who were said to be from the Sword Sect came to help. The young ladies escaped danger, but the Japanese pirates and the Miao people collaborated and put poisonous insects in their bodies. Many of them were brutally killed by the Japanese pirates. Some of the seriously injured were treated by the young ladies and the second young master of the Fu family."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhihang frowned, with a flash of anger in his eyes. He knew that the collusion between the Japanese pirates and the Miaojiang would bring a huge threat to the country, especially those innocent people being implicated made him feel heartbroken.

"These damn Japanese pirates! They actually dared to cooperate with Miaojiang and attack our people." Xiao Zhihang said gritting his teeth, extremely angry.

"Master, please rest assured. The young ladies have successfully escaped. Now they have got a chance to obtain a book related to Gu worms. I think it won't take long before they can save the people.

But during this period, I also found a group of people who were secretly protecting the young ladies. They threw the book to the young ladies. I guess they are the secret guards sent by the emperor, because they move quickly and hide in the dark, more like secret guards than I am. "Xiao Li said, telling what he had secretly observed.

Xiao Zhihang nodded in understanding. It seemed that the emperor was also very worried about Xiao Yanzi and the others' travel, and he even specially hired secret guards to escort them along the way.

"Well, you go back first and continue to hide in the dark. Report to me at any time if anything happens. As for the matter of the poisonous insect, I will report it to the court immediately and request reinforcements.

At the same time, we must also strengthen the defense of the coastal areas to prevent the Japanese pirates from attacking again. As for Miaojiang, we need to send people to investigate and find out what they want to do. "After Xiao Zhihang gave Xiao Li his instructions, he began to make arrangements for the next plan.

After Xiao Li responded, he flashed and left the place.

Xiao Zhihang and Du Xueyin were relieved to learn that Xiao Yanzi and the others were fine. However, when they thought about the cooperation between the Japanese pirates and the Miao people, they couldn't help but feel worried and felt sorry for the people who suffered.

“I hope everything goes smoothly for them next time.”

Xiao Zhihang and his wife looked at the stars outside the window and couldn't help but sigh. It's true that a mother worries about her son even when he is far away. It makes her worried just thinking about it.

Du Xueyin gently patted Xiao Zhihang's shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, the children have grown up and have their own judgment and coping abilities. We have to trust them."

Xiao Zhihang nodded, held his wife's hand, and said, "I know, but I still can't help but worry."

Du Xueyin smiled and said, "This is the feeling of being a parent. We can never let go of our children. However, we also need to learn to let go and let them go out and experience the ups and downs of life."

Xiao Zhihang said with emotion: "Yes, we can't protect them forever. Only by letting them experience setbacks can they truly grow."

The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of expectations and blessings for the children. Although they still have worries in their hearts, they also understand that the children must go their own way and face the challenges of life.

The starry sky at night is dazzling, as if telling of the endless possibilities of life. Xiao Zhihang and his wife stood quietly in front of the window, silently praying for the safety and happiness of their children. They know that no matter what is waiting ahead, their children will bravely move forward and pursue their dreams. As parents, they will always support and protect them from behind.

－－－I am the dividing line, 嘤嘤嘤－－－

Early in the morning, Xiaoyanzi was awakened by the continuous crying and shouting in the town. She frowned, rubbed her eyebrows, sat up, and saw Ziwei had changed her clothes and was standing in front of the window, frowning and looking at the people below.

"Ziwei, what's wrong?" Xiaoyanzi was sleepy and confused, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Ziwei heard the noise, turned around to look at her, sighed and said, "A lot of people died last night, and many were injured. Now these people are either going to see a doctor or preparing for the funeral of their deceased family members. Moreover, some people are crying and making a fuss, wanting to go to the government to seek an explanation. Alas, those Japanese pirates are so hateful!" After saying that, she clenched her fists tightly, her face full of resentment and helplessness.

After hearing this, Xiaoyanzi lost all her sleepiness. She was obviously thinking about yesterday's tragedy. She thought for a moment and said, "This is a small town. There are so few local officials. How can they handle the follow-up?"

Ziwei frowned and said with a worried look: "Yongqi borrowed Erkang's status as the Bachelor's Mansion yesterday to ask officials from the nearby big city to deal with this matter. However, there are still some people who will not give up, and their crying and shouting make people feel as if they are in the middle of a tragedy on earth. It's really heartbreaking!" She sighed helplessly, expressing that she found this situation very difficult to handle.

After hearing this, Xiaoyanzi showed an angry look on her face and said with gritted teeth: "It's all the fault of those hateful Japanese pirates. I really regret letting them die so easily yesterday, otherwise I would definitely avenge those poor people." She clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with anger and unwillingness, as if she was a little dissatisfied with her behavior yesterday.

At this time, there were bursts of sad cries from below, and Xiaoyanzi couldn't help but change color, and her expression became more and more ugly. She complained indignantly, her heart full of regret and resentment, feeling that she had not tortured those bad guys enough yesterday, and she was unable to vent her anger for those innocent victims.

"Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go downstairs first. Today we need to find a way to cure the poisonous insects and try to save the people from the water and fire as soon as possible. Otherwise, if they are controlled again, they will be hurt."

Xiaoyanzi jumped up and prepared to change clothes and wash up, talking as she packed.

She knew very well that although she had checked the pulses of the people who were controlled yesterday, they did not seem to have any abnormalities and had no obvious sequelae. However, who could guarantee that they would not be injured the next time they were controlled? After all, they were just ordinary people with limited physical endurance. If they experienced such torture again, it would be difficult for them to recover.

More importantly, for these ordinary people, suddenly losing their self-awareness, being completely controlled by others, and doing things against their will is simply an unbearable fear and pain. Therefore, no matter what, we must find a solution to the problem as soon as possible to prevent these innocent people from further harm.

"Okay, let's go downstairs."

Ziwei nodded, a firm look on her face, indicating that she was ready. After Xiaoyanzi packed up her things, the two went downstairs together. After experiencing the thrilling life-and-death struggle yesterday, their eyes became more resolute and their steps became more steady.

They were originally reborn people with memories of their previous lives. However, since they had lived a life of luxury and pampering since childhood, they still retained some innocence and simplicity in their hearts. But now that they are in the martial arts world and have witnessed the separation of life and death, they can no longer maintain that innocent mentality.

Now they understand that only by growing and becoming stronger can they protect themselves and those around them.
