My game even includes ancient times

Watching He Shi take off his shoes and socks, lie on the bed, pull the blanket over himself, maintain a peaceful and proper posture, and slowly close his eyes.

He Yu finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Everything that happened tonight was too dangerous. After He Yu sent a message to Chu He, although he heard the whole plan that the three of them discussed in secret, he felt that there were no loopholes and could barely feel at ease.

But when they saw those gleaming swords slashing at He Shi, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

These people attacked too fast, their swords flashing and blades forming a dense, impenetrable curtain, making it impossible for He Yu to help even if he wanted to. Moreover, if he just went over there, he would most likely only make things worse.

So she could only stand silently and watch from a distance.

When the black-clad man who attacked from behind slashed almost half of the blade into He Shi's shoulder, He Yu's pupils contracted. Before his brain could react, his body instinctively took two steps forward, only to be stopped by the whistling wind of the sword. He instantly regained his senses and could no longer advance an inch.

Despite the deep wound on his shoulder, He Shi didn't even blink. He decisively turned to the side, raised his sword, and slit the man's throat. The man fell to the ground with a thud.

At the same time, the wound on his shoulder widened further with the spinning blade, and the blood that gushed out instantly stained a large area of ​​his clothes red at a visible speed.

He Shi blinked twice quickly, his movements without the slightest hesitation, and in the next instant, he blocked the other person's attack with his sword.

He Yu: "..."

She gritted her teeth and watched with great agony as the three brothers worked together seamlessly to kill all the enemies.

Then, ignoring his own bloody wounds, he rushed off to help Xia Yuan.

He Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt quite helpless, and could only follow them.

Fortunately, after receiving her hint, Xia Yuan made full preparations and killed more than a dozen skilled assassins by herself. Although she was injured, the result was still acceptable.

However, Zhong Heshan, that old fox, is really good at acting. Looking at his micro-expressions and some subtle movements, He Yu couldn't help but wonder if his acting talent was as dazzling as He Shi's, a golden legend.

To cover up the assassination attempt on He Shi and his group, he even spent a lot of money to hire assassins from Moyunlou to assassinate people from several other sects at the same time. When those people started to get injured, he would then step in to save them.

In this way, they can both take advantage of the chaos and downplay the abruptness of the assassination of only the Chu family members, and reduce the anger of the other sects that were caught in the crossfire. It can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

Most importantly, he ended up actually killing all the assassins who were acting with him.

When He Yu saw that Xia Yuan was alright, she changed the map to find Zhong Heshan, and happened to witness him killing someone to cover it up, which made her grin from ear to ear.

That old man is ruthless and cruel, he's a real scoundrel...

Fortunately, no matter what, it's all over now.

Looking at He Shi's blurry yet obedient sleeping face in the darkness, He Yu felt a long-lost sense of fatigue and chose to log off.

Perhaps she had indeed expended too much energy during this game, because the moment she opened her eyes, He Yu vaguely saw He Shi standing outside the window, staring at her with a curious expression for a moment.

She blinked, and He Shi's figure disappeared; there was nothing outside the glass window.

She was actually hallucinating?

Is she so worried about He Shi that she's almost obsessed...?

Coming to her senses, He Yu lowered her eyes to look at the sleeping He Shi on her phone screen and gently curved the corners of her mouth into a smile.

She reached out and tapped his forehead with her fingertip, then exited the game and got up to get busy.

------

He Shi and his group walked to the main hall in the front yard, where Zhong Heshan and his wife, dressed in festive attire, stood at the entrance.

Mrs. Zhong looked to be in her forties. The passage of time had not diminished her beauty; on the contrary, it had given her a unique and serene temperament.

She stood beside Zhong Heshan, offering a dignified and elegant smile to each guest who entered. Occasionally, she would chat with acquaintances, but most of the time she simply stood quietly.

It's like having a semi-permanent smiley lip done on your face.

He Yu followed beside He Shi, glancing at the somewhat strange-looking couple, and silently complained to herself.

Xia Yuan led the group and soon arrived at the door.

Upon seeing them, Zhong Heshan greeted them with a smile, "Your nephews from the Chu family have arrived! Please come in quickly!"

Xia Yuan smiled and bowed in return: "Congratulations to Sect Leader Zhong and Madam Zhong."

Behind her, Bai Yushen handed the congratulatory gift he was carrying to the servant standing on the other side of the gate.

Zhong Heshan's gaze swept over the clothes of the group one by one. Seeing that they could not tell from their appearance whether they were injured, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he invited them into the courtyard with even greater enthusiasm.

The spacious courtyard was newly decorated, with festive red ribbons and lanterns everywhere.

A sturdy wooden frame was erected above the courtyard, covered with thick felt and draped with waterproof tarpaulin, completely isolating it from the howling cold wind outside.

Several large charcoal braziers were set up and placed in various corners, continuously radiating warmth.

For some reason, a large open space was left in the middle of the courtyard, with about ten large round tables evenly placed around it.

Almost everyone was seated, and the crowd was bustling and lively.

Lu Zhuo, who was sitting inside, spotted them immediately. He then flashed a bright smile, stood up, waved, and shouted, "Over here! Over here!"

He Shi and the others walked to the table where he was.

Lu Zhuo grinned and pointed to the five empty stools: "These were reserved especially for you, come and sit down."

Then, looking at He Shi, she asked, "Young Master He, would you like to sit next to me?"

He Shi himself was fine sitting anywhere, but seeing Lu Zhuo's request, he walked over and sat down next to him without a care in the world.

Lu Zhuo reached out and poured him some tea: "Have a cup of tea to warm yourself up—"

Seeing this, Chu Yunsi spoke up without hesitation: "Hey, why are you only pouring tea for my junior brother? There are four of us here!"

Xia Yuan glanced at her, her tone slightly serious: "Junior Sister! Don't be rude."

Chu Yunsi glanced at her expression and saw that she seemed genuinely angry, so she pouted and remained silent.

After Xia Yuan finished scolding Chu Yunsi, she turned around with a smile on her face and said to Lu Zhuo, "My junior sister is innocent and naive, not good at socializing, and her words may be inconsiderate, but she never means any harm. I hope Young Master Lu will not take offense."

Lu Zhu chuckled twice, his good-natured manner evident, and said casually, "Don't be offended, don't be offended. I just like dealing with people who are straightforward and say what they mean. We're friends, it's just pouring tea for a friend, what's the big deal?"

As he spoke, he got up and poured tea for Xia Yuan and the other three. Then he steered the conversation to some interesting things that had happened in the martial arts world recently. Xia Yuan smiled and agreed, and for a while they chatted happily.

The other two young men, who were also disciples of the Sword Master of Hualing Sword Palace, sat upright with straight backs and stern faces, and did not say a word from beginning to end.

Aside from the eight people there, the two remaining people at the table were somewhat unexpected for He Yu.
