With greasy food on her lips, Lu Yuzhu looked at Ji Yunshuang with a pleading expression, saying, "Mother, isn't Zhuzhu great? Zhuzhu didn't tell anyone about what happened at home, not even my best friends."

Ji Yunshuang collected her thoughts, wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "Yes, my darling is the best."

Overjoyed by her mother's praise, Lu Yuzhu felt as happy as a little bird, wishing she could grow two wings and fly around the room.

Lu Yanqi frowned.

He was a reborn person who had seen many conspiracies and schemes in his previous life, unlike Lu Yuzhu who was innocent and naive.

Like Ji Yunshuang, he instantly developed suspicions about Yan Cui. He pondered Yan Cui's behavior when she came to the Lu family.

He hadn't thought about it that way before, and didn't think anything of it. But ever since the seed of doubt was planted in his mind, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Yan Cui was not simple, as if she deliberately approached their family.

He couldn't wait to go to the Wang family and meet the Yan family mother and daughter.

After praising Lu Yuzhu, Ji Yunshuang guided her daughter to talk more about Yan Cui.

In the afternoon, Ji Yunshuang did not go out; she stayed at home.

Not long after they finished eating, Wang Xiaoya and Yan Cui arrived again. Ji Yunshuang had only glanced at her casually before, without scrutinizing her closely.

This time, she looked very carefully.

Under her scrutinizing gaze, which was like X-rays, a moment of panic flashed through Yan Cui's heart.

However, they were trained after all.

Although she was flustered inside, she kept her composure and did not show it.

She remained calm, and Ji Yunshuang didn't notice anything from her expression. However, after carefully examining her from head to toe, Ji Yunshuang discovered some small details that she hadn't noticed before.

She had some guesses in her mind.

But seeing her daughter's joy at seeing her best friend come to class, she didn't do anything.

Now that her daughter has accepted her, let's hold off for a while and wait until she gets the evidence.

Ji Yunshuang told the children to go to their rooms for lessons and decided to take advantage of this free time to visit the Wang family and see Yan Cui's mother.

On the other side, Zhong Xu rode his horse at full speed towards the military camp.

While traveling along a treacherous section of the official road, a group of men in black suddenly flew out of the forest and blocked his path.

Zhong Xu felt a chill run down his spine, secretly relieved that he had hidden the letter under the saddle beforehand.

If he can't win in a while, he can let his horse run first, and then he can complete the task assigned by General Ji.

He thought quickly, then suddenly drew his sword and started fighting with the nearest man in black.

The three of them haven't been idle during their time at the resort; they've been practicing diligently almost every day.

Sometimes the three of them would even spar with each other.

When he sparred with Chen Wu, he discovered that Chen Wu's sword moves were very fast, and even the two of them combined couldn't defeat him.

This inevitably fueled their fighting spirit.

It's important to know that before they followed Ji Yunshuang, they were Wei Zhenfang's personal guards. Both of them were quite skilled.

Both of them were somewhat arrogant.

But they were actually no match for one of Ji Yunshuang's subordinates, an unknown person.

During those days, the two of them almost neglected to eat or sleep and sparred with Chen Wu.

Chen Wu was grateful to Ji Yunshuang for saving his wife and wanted to serve Ji Yunshuang even more diligently, practicing martial arts even more hard than the two of them.

After practicing like this, their skills improved significantly.

Zhong Xu's first sword strike, with lightning speed, took the life of the man in black.

The group of men in black clearly hadn't expected his kung fu to be so high. After exchanging glances, the best swordsmen among them stepped forward and attacked Zhong Xu with their swords, while others seized the opportunity to secretly ambush him from behind with hidden weapons.

Although Zhong Xu's kung fu has improved a lot due to his practice these days.

However, the men Fu Pei had sent this time were all experts. With so many experts attacking him together, and some even finding the right moment to launch hidden weapons, he was ultimately unable to withstand them.

Just as Zhong Xu was hit by a hidden weapon and captured by a group of men in black, Tian Rui arrived.

It glanced at Zhong Xu, who they had captured, howled at the sky, and pounced on the men in black.

A man in black hurriedly drew his sword to block, but Tianrui bit off his arm with one bite.

His arm and the sword in his hand were flung away together.

Without pausing for a moment, it attacked the other man in black who was holding Zhong Xu captive.

The group of men in black were stunned by the scene. One of them said in a trembling voice, "What's going on? How did a tiger suddenly appear? This tiger..."

He found it absurd, but seeing the tiger attack their companions again without harming Zhong Xu, who had already been drugged, he had to admit the absurdity of the situation.

"This tiger is here to help this kid."

As they were talking, another man in black had his leg bitten off, instantly losing his fighting ability.

Seeing that they were no match for the tiger, and realizing they might all lose their lives if they didn't run, the remaining men in black dared not linger any longer and abandoned Zhong Xu, fleeing in haste.

Tianrui didn't give chase; it remembered Ji Yunshuang's words. Its mission this time was to escort this incompetent human to the military camp. He was so weak; if he went after those men in black, he might very well get killed.

They're a handful, they won't do anything for their master!

Before Zhong Xu could even say thank you, he met Tian Rui's disdainful gaze.

Zhong Xu: "..."

This tiger is truly a spirit.

"I can't move. Could you please help me, Brother Tiger?" Although it was embarrassing, ever since he was hit by the black-clad man's hidden weapon, his whole body had become as limp as a noodle, and he couldn't move at all.

He originally intended to say that since the tiger seemed to understand human speech, he should ask it to help drive the horse to the military camp and deliver the letter to Fu Ci.

Unexpectedly, Tianrui misunderstood his meaning and neighed at the horse a few times.

The horse that Zhong Xu had been riding trembled, but eventually retreated and obediently lay down in front of Zhong Xu.

Tianrui bit his clothes, laid him sideways on the horse's back, and then kicked the horse's rump.

The horse obediently stood up.

Zhong Xu: "..."

He closed his eyes briefly, deciding to put aside any shame for now. He said, "Brother Hu, we can't let these two injured men in black get away with their deaths. We need to find out who they are."

The two men in black, who were lying on the ground writhing in pain because they had lost a hand or a foot, cursed inwardly at the same time.

Tianrui's eyes were full of disdain, but in the end he still showed his sharp teeth to the two of them with a threatening look.

Zhong Xu lay limply on the horse's back, trying to make his voice sound fierce, "Who are you working for? You'd better tell me honestly, or this tiger will eat you both right now."
