Chapter 343 Revisiting the 'Miracle Doctor'

Li Xi leaped up and sat on the back of one of the golden eagles, while the other carried Old Master Sun.

The golden eagle spread its wings and soared into the night, speeding towards its destination.

Soon after, they arrived at the bamboo forest where the group was located.

After landing, Li Xi and Old Man Sun quickly hid in the shadows and observed the situation in the courtyard.

In the small courtyard, the firelight flickered, illuminating the surrounding bamboo grove, and the figures of the group could be seen in and out of sight in the firelight.

"Brother, why did the master suddenly order us to evacuate? We were doing just fine. There are so many suckers in Kyoto, all rich and foolish," one of them said.

Hearing these words, Li Xi felt somewhat hurt.

Isn't she herself the sucker?

However, the man known as the 'miracle doctor' didn't seem to care about any of this.

He simply said, "We will do whatever our master says; there is no need for further words."

His voice was steady and calm, carrying an unquestionable authority, clearly indicating that he was a man of intelligence.

"But then again, you made quite a bit of money this time. The master will definitely value you even more, brother," the other person said with a smile, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.

They were all servants, but their status and treatment differed.

"Hurry up and load them onto the truck; these are going to Yancheng." He didn't stop packing them up.

Li Xi used ventriloquism to ask her master in a low voice, "Master, look at those convoys, each one is fully loaded, and they're rushing around late at night. What exactly are they transporting? This is really unusual."

"It's simply unbelievable, unless it contains something shady that can't be brought to light." Li Xi continued to use ventriloquism, her voice low but full of curiosity.

Various possibilities flashed through her mind, and she made a series of guesses.

"Could it be... some priceless treasure?" The moment this thought crossed Li Xi's eyes, they lit up as if she could see endless wealth beckoning to her.

"Aren't you satisfied with your mountains of gold and silver? You get all excited when you talk about these things." Old Sun shook his head helplessly.

"No one would complain about having too much gold and silver. Besides, wouldn't it be a waste if it fell into their hands? If I, Li Xi, have the chance, I will definitely protect these treasures for the sake of all people." Li Xi's ventriloquism revealed a touch of heroic spirit.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Sun couldn't help but smile. He knew that although his apprentice was greedy, he had a strong sense of justice, which he appreciated.

"Alright, stop overthinking. What these convoys are transporting might not be as simple as you imagine." Old Sun's voice carried a hint of seriousness.

"Oh? Why do you say that, Master?" Li Xi asked curiously.

"Look at that caravan, every carriage is wrapped up tightly, without even a gap, and the drivers are all very careful. This is enough to show that what they are transporting is extraordinary," Old Sun analyzed.

"So what exactly are they transporting?" Li Xi's curiosity was completely piqued.

"I have no idea about that. But since we've run into them, why don't we follow them and see if we can find anything interesting?" Old Sun suggested.

Upon hearing this, Li Xi immediately became excited, naturally more than she could have hoped for.

So the master and apprentice secretly followed the caravan, heading north.

Their speed gradually increased, as if some urgent matter was urging them to move forward.

As night deepened, the convoy gradually entered a dense forest.

Looking at the dimly lit woods ahead, Li Xi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

But just then, she suddenly heard a faint sound, as if something was approaching them.

Just as Li Xi was about to draw his sword, a figure suddenly darted out of the woods and blocked their way.

Li Xi looked closely and saw that the person was dressed in black, with a black cloth covering his face, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.

"Who are you? Why are you following us?" the man in black asked coldly.

Li Xi was about to answer when Old Sun spoke first: "We were just passing by and meant no harm."

The man in black seemed dissatisfied with Elder Sun's answer. He snorted coldly and rushed towards the master and his disciple.

Upon seeing this, Li Xi immediately drew his sword and charged forward, engaging in a fierce battle with the man in black.

Her movements were as elusive as a ghost, and every strike she made accurately hit the man in black's vital points.

Although the man in black was highly skilled in martial arts, he gradually showed signs of defeat under Li Xi's attacks.

After a fierce battle, the man in black was finally stabbed and fell to the ground.

He collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Li Xi stepped forward and removed the black cloth from his face.

Before her was a weathered and unfamiliar face, but those sharp eyes gave her a sense of familiarity.

She frowned, trying to recall any memory of that face.

"Whom are you working for, and what is the carriage carrying?" Li Xi asked coldly.

The man remained outwardly calm and refused to speak no matter what she said.

Li Xi stopped wasting words with him. She squatted down and took out a thin, long silver needle from her bosom. This was her usual hidden weapon, capable of killing silently.

“I know you’re a tough guy, but I have plenty of ways to make you talk,” Li Xi said coldly, the silver needles in her hand gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

Upon seeing this, a hint of fear flashed in the man's eyes.

"Yes...yes..." the man in black finally spoke, his voice weak and trembling.

"Who is it?" Li Xi pressed.

"Yes...yes..." The man in black seemed to want to say something more, but suddenly more than a dozen men in black rushed out of the woods, wielding long swords and charging menacingly towards Li Xi and the original man in black.

Li Xi frowned slightly, but did not show the slightest sign of panic.

She quickly put away the silver needles, turned her body, and dodged the sword strike from the leader of the men in black.

At the same time, she formed her right hand into a claw and suddenly grabbed at the man in black, trying to continue interrogating him amidst the chaos.

However, the man in black seemed to have anticipated this move, and with a quick movement, he dodged Li Xi's attack.

He seized the opportunity to escape into the depths of the woods, leaving Li Xi alone to face the sudden attack.

Li Xi felt a chill run down her spine. She knew that these men in black must have been prepared for such a decisive move.

Without further hesitation, she moved like the wind and engaged in a fierce battle with the men in black in the woods.

The sword flashed, and the sword energy crisscrossed.

Their attacks were easily neutralized by Li Xi, while they themselves were forced to retreat repeatedly by Li Xi's sword energy, leaving them in a sorry state.

Seeing the scene before him, Old Sun breathed a sigh of relief.

He discovered that his apprentice had completely grasped the situation and could easily deal with these enemies.

So he went after that group of people...
