My wife is a practitioner, I am invincible when I lie down

Zhao Mu finally got to see Huang Xi wearing new clothes as he wished.

Although she was very unwilling, Huang Xi knew that her loss was not unfair.

She had already used 100% of her fighting strength, but was still no match for Zhao Mu, and this time she lost even faster than last time.

She concluded that Zhao Mu must have been secretly hiding his strength from her.

Huang Xi couldn't help but wonder how exaggerated Zhao Mu's true strength was.

Could it be that he has already reached the Saint Emperor realm?

"Husband, I'm suddenly looking forward to you and Jiang Muyao fighting. Do you want me to help you arrange a time? Please teach her a lesson for me. She was very cruel when she fought with me last time."

Huang Xi sat on Zhao Mu's lap, put her arms around his neck, and suddenly spoke.

Zhao Mu was admiring his maid wife and was slightly stunned when he heard Huang Xi's words.

"That's not impossible. I also want to see the strength of the number one on the Southern Region's Prodigy List."

Tushan Mengdie is elusive and her whereabouts cannot be found for the time being, but it is still easy to contact Jiang Muyao.

Although the system gave him three years, Zhao Mu was not in a hurry to marry a new wife, but he certainly could not miss the opportunity.

"Okay, then I'll send a message to the Jiang family now."

Huang Xi hurriedly took out paper and pen and wrote a letter to Jiang Muyao.

Looking at the crooked handwriting on the letter, Zhao Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Madam, you really should practice your handwriting."

“Don’t look!!”

Huang Xi quickly turned her head away and covered the letter.

Her little face turned red with embarrassment.

It's no problem for her to practice fighting every day, but reading and writing... she can't last even a minute.

After quickly finishing the letter, Huang Xi folded the letter paper into a kite and released it out of the window.

"Okay, after reading my letter, Jiang Muyao will come to the Zhao family to challenge you within three days. Just wait, my husband."

huh?

Zhao Mu thought he was going to visit the Jiang family.

Will Jiang Muyao take the initiative to come and challenge me?

To be number one on the Tianjiao list, do you need to take the initiative to challenge others?

"What did you write in the letter?" Zhao Mu asked curiously.

"I just told Jiang Muyao that my husband has taken a fancy to her and wants to take her as a concubine. I asked her to pick an auspicious day and come to my house clean so that my husband can enjoy her."

Zhao Mu: “…”

"Oh, my husband, don't worry about it. Just listen to me. I know Jiang Muyao best. She is a very noble person. It is difficult for ordinary people to see her. She won't show up unless she is angered."

Zhao Mu was at a loss for words. She was indeed the invincible little sister who was good at stirring up trouble.

Forget it, if Jiang Muyao could really come to me on her own, it would be a good thing.

Without thinking about it anymore, Zhao Mu picked up Huang Xi and walked towards the bedroom.

Huang Xi had an expression of high fighting spirit.

Since he lost to Zhao Mu in the battle, he had to regain his face in bed!

The next morning.

Huang Xi wrapped herself under the wings of the phoenix and refused to come out even if she died.

"My dear husband, Huang Xi has surrendered. Please show mercy and spare me!"

"Haha, where did your arrogance from last night go?"

The fierce battle that night ended with Zhao Mu's great victory again.

In the next two days, Huang Xi began a new round of secluded training.

Su Qianqian has also been in seclusion.

Zhao Mu returned to his leisurely life. He read books and slept every day, and occasionally visited the mine. His life was plain and leisurely.

After waiting for a few days, Jiang Muyao did not show up as expected.

Zhao Mu was hesitating whether to go to the Jiang family in person, but suddenly received bad news.

Zhao Ming was assassinated!

"Who is so bold as to assassinate the Zhao family's genius?"

Zhao Mu ran to the meeting hall angrily. At this moment, Zhao Li and a group of elders were gathered together. Zhao Ming was carried on a stretcher. Although he was still breathing, his two arms were completely disabled. The flesh was still there, but the bones had been pulled out. He looked very miserable.

"Clan leader, you must make the decision for Ming'er!!"

An elder from the Zhao family burst into tears.

His name is Zhao Zuo, and he is Zhao Ming's father.

Zhao Ming was his child born in his old age. He had reached the Martial Emperor realm in his twenties and was ranked 46th on the Tianjiao list. He had a bright future ahead of him, but this time he was ambushed and lost both arms. Even if he could save his life, he would probably never be able to practice again.

No one could bear such a blow.

Zhao Li also frowned at this moment. Although he had sent many clansmen to investigate, he had not gained any clues so far. He didn't even know who attacked Zhao Ming.

"Father, what's going on? With a Pixiu guarding our clan's territory, it shouldn't happen that a clan member gets ambushed."

Zhao Mu walked forward and asked.

The greatest use of the Pixiu is not its combat power at the Saint Emperor level, but its ability to protect the family and issue early warnings for any dangers that may arise within the family.

When Zhao Li saw Zhao Mu appear, he immediately explained, "Zhao Ming was not killed in the family territory..."

After Zhao Li's explanation, Zhao Mu finally understood the specific situation.

Zhao Ming was attacked while on his way out to escort some goods.

According to several other members of the Zhao family who were traveling with Zhao Ming, the attacker had a very clear target, which was to attack Zhao Ming. After the successful attack, he quickly retreated and did not harm other members of the Zhao family.

"Did Zhao Ming have a grudge against anyone in the past?" Zhao Mu asked.

Elder Zhao Zuo said hurriedly, "Absolutely not. Zhao Ming has always been an honest man, and he used to stay at the Zhao family. Yesterday was his first time traveling far away, so it's impossible for him to have made enemies outside."

In this case, the situation becomes a bit complicated.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Su Ziling suddenly broke into the meeting hall.

"I know, this must have been done by the Genius Strangler."

Zhao Mu frowned: "Why are you here to join in the fun?"

"Mu'er, listen to what she says first." Zhao Li advised.

Su Ziling walked over to Zhao Ming and took a closer look. "I've seen this kind of bone-stripping, skin-extracting method before. Two of our Su family members who were on the Tianjiao Ranking were similarly attacked, and we couldn't find any clues at the time. Later, my father offered a large reward, and the people from the Wanshi Palace accepted it. After some investigation, they finally tracked down the murderer's whereabouts. Unfortunately, they were a step too late and only captured a few minions. The assassin escaped early."

"But from the intelligence gathered during the interrogation, the mastermind behind this is the newly emerged organization, the Genius Stranglers. They pride themselves on hunting down the talented children of the various imperial clans. Many of them have fallen victim to their murderous hands."

"In my opinion, the Zhao family has also been targeted by these Stranglers."

Su Ziling's words made everyone present frown.

Although the Genius Stranglers have only appeared for a short time, they are now quite notorious in the Southern Region, and all the major imperial clans regard them as thorns in their eyes and bones in their flesh.

But this group of people is very cunning and their whereabouts are erratic. Everyone acts separately and has no fixed base, so it is very difficult to catch them all in one fell swoop.

"Father, let me handle this matter. Anyone who dares to hurt my people must pay with blood!"

After Zhao Mu finished speaking, he flew up on his sword and flew out of the meeting hall.

"Wait, I'll go with you. I know the Strangler better than you do, and I can provide you with intelligence assistance."

Su Ziling followed closely behind and shouted.
