General Wang and Su Taifu come to the door.

"Very well! Qinghe, pass on a message to Mother Mo, asking her to hasten her journey and bring back the Silver Root Grass. Qier has found the Mysterious Spirit Herb this time, which can be used to refine the Profound Spirit Pill for Xiner to take. At least Xiner won't suffer for the next month," the master said.

"Yes, Master. Qinghe will go now," Qinghe replied, nodding.

Just as Su Zimo was about to send Su Xin back, she suddenly noticed He Yunting entering.

Her brows furrowed beneath the mask.

"Momo, General Wang and the people from the Grand Tutor's Residence have surrounded the Mingyue Villa. They are demanding that we hand over Miss Su and Young Master Su," he informed her.

"So soon?" Su Zimo exclaimed.

"Mother, I'll go. This time, I will make them understand that the Mingyue Villa is not a place they can come and go as they please," Su Li said fiercely. Protecting Mother and the Mingyue Villa was his responsibility. This place was his home, and he wouldn't let anyone destroy it.

"Good! Be careful, Li'er," Su Zimo said, knowing that the Twelve Deadly Assassins were secretly protecting Li'er. He would be fine.

"Momo, Brother, let me go with Li'er!" Su Qingjue said resolutely. He couldn't hide behind and let a child like Li'er protect him.

"Brother, you're injured. Li'er will handle things well. And with Yunting here, Brother doesn't need to worry. Why don't you go to the alchemy room to assist Qier? Qier shouldn't be disturbed while refining pills," Su Zimo suggested. She knew that with Yunting's presence, General Wang and the Grand Tutor, her so-called father, would have to consider Yunting and the face of the Mingyue Villa even if they wanted to forcefully take her sister back.

"Well... alright! Li'er, be careful," Su Qingjue said, looking at Su Li. There were very few sixth-stage Gold Profound Realm experts like him, but Li'er should be able to repel those bastards.

"Don't worry, Uncle! Uncle He, let's go," Su Li said confidently.

Outside the gates of the Mingyue Villa, General Wang Yicheng and Su Weichen, along with a group of soldiers, blocked the way.

General Wang Yicheng, around thirty-five years old, had a round face, a beard on his cheeks, and well-defined facial features. He was tall and burly, wearing a long sword on his left side. His serious expression carried the aura of a general.

Su Weichen was dressed in a black silk robe, resembling Su Qingjue to some extent. His face was stern as he watched He Yunting and Su Li come out, his expression growing even darker.

"Oh! General Wang, Grand Tutor Su, what brings you here with such fanfare? Has our Mingyue Villa committed a crime? Or have we offended you? Today is the day our master returns home, and bloodshed is not appropriate for our Mingyue Villa," He Yunting said, though his smile contained an undeniable coldness.

"Mr. He, I am not here to cause trouble. We only request that you hand over the Su siblings. We can discuss any matters peacefully," General Wang replied.

"Then you'll have to ask our young master about that. By the way, this is our young master. As long as our young master agrees, I will bring out Young Master Su and Miss Su," He Yunting pointed at Su Li. The Grand Tutor and General Wang were in for a tough time today. The Mingyue Villa was already strong enough to not fear them.

General Wang Yicheng and Su Weichen turned their gazes towards Su Li. They couldn't believe that the Mingyue Villa would try to fool them with a mere child... They truly looked down on them.

"Mr. He, are you asking us to negotiate with a child?" General Wang, his face filled with anger, wanted to storm in and seize them if it weren't for the face they were giving to the Mingyue Villa.

"What's wrong? General, do you find this young master too insignificant?" Su Li's voice sounded cold as his cultivation at the sixth stage of the Gold Profound Realm burst out, shocking everyone. The chilling gaze from his eyes made people shudder involuntarily.
