Chapter 22 There is no room for optimism

Lin Qiu was not a procrastinator, since they decided to rescue Sui Xin'er's father and others, they did not waste time, under the leadership of Sui Xin'er, the two rushed back along the route that Sui Xin'er had escaped.

Halfway through, Sui Xin'er went to retrieve the jade pendant she mentioned earlier, it turned out that Sui Xin'er did not deceive the three black-clothed people, this jade pendant was indeed not put on her body, but secretly hid it on the way to escape, Lin Qiu couldn't help but admire the mind of this little girl who was only eleven or twelve years old.

According to Sui Xin'er, she knew that if his father and others couldn't get out of trouble, then she herself would not be able to escape at all, and if the jade pendant was obtained by the Li family, all of them would definitely die, but if the Li family didn't get the jade pendant, there would be no need for them to die, after all, if they couldn't find the relics of the ancestors of the Sui family, the two sides would only give others a chance to take advantage of it, so hiding the jade pendant was the best way, at least it could buy a lot of time.

When Sui Xin'er retrieved the jade pendant, Lin Qiu also borrowed it for a long time, Sui Xin'er didn't have any precautions against Lin Qiu, and handed it to Lin Qiu casually, which made Lin Qiu very surprised, after all, with Sui Xin'er's cleverness, he should be able to think of the consequences of snatching the jade pendant, but Sui Xin'er obeyed Lin Qiu's words, which made Lin Qiu a little confused, was it just to save his father?

In fact, in Sui Xin'er's heart, although Lin Qiu is the only person who can save her father at present, it has not yet reached the point where she is defenseless, the reason why Sui Xin'er let down her guard is because of Sui Xin'er's own inner feelings, her intuition told her to believe in Lin Qiu, told him that Lin Qiu was a good person, and Lin Qiu had saved her before, so she chose to believe this feeling.

Although Sui Xin'er is not very old, she is very smart, if it weren't for her poor cultivation talent, she must be the most important cultivation object of the Sui family, but on the Elemental Continent, strength is respected, and poor cultivation talent is destined not to become the helmsman of the family, and it is precisely because of this that Sui Li will bring Sui Xin'er with him when he goes out on an expedition this time.

Because of her poor cultivation talent, Sui Xin'er has been taught literature since she was a child, and she doesn't need to practice martial arts all day, Sui Xin'er spends most of her time reading, so her knowledge and wisdom are much higher than her peers, and even Sui Xin'er has a little research on knowing people, no, she used it on Lin Qiu's body for the first time.

After playing with the jade pendant for a while, Lin Qiu returned it to Sui Xin'er, this jade pendant Lin Qiu didn't see any difference, but felt that this jade pendant was faintly hot, and according to Sui Xin'er, the hotter this jade pendant is, the closer it is to the place where the ancestor of the Sui family died, Lin Qiu is more and more interested.

Sui Xin'er carefully put away the jade pendant, smiled sweetly at Lin Qiu, and then led the way in front, Lin Qiu hurriedly followed, Lin Qiu didn't think much about Sui Xin'er's smile, she thought it was Sui Xin'er who said hello to him, in fact, the reason why Sui Xin'er smiled at him was because she knew that she had seen the right person, Lin Qiu was indeed a really good person, and the remaining worry in her heart finally dissipated.

After walking for about three hours, the sky was gradually brightening, Lin Qiu took Sui Xin'er to a clearing, there were obvious traces of fighting in this clearing, there were still blood stains on the ground, several big trees were broken around, not far from the clearing, Lin Qiu found a few elemental beasts that had not yet reached the first level, and after driving them away, he found that there were several unseemly corpses on the ground that had been gnawed, it turned out that these elemental beasts were attracted by the smell of blood on the corpses.

Lin Qiu hurriedly called Sui Xin'er over, and when she heard Lin Qiu say that she had found the body, Sui Xin'er's face changed greatly, and she hurriedly ran over, and when she confirmed that it was not her father and uncle who died, Lin Qiu obviously felt that Sui Xin'er breathed a sigh of relief.

After checking the surroundings, a total of seven corpses were found, and after Sui Xin'er's identification, five of the seven dead people were the five first-level elemental envoys they brought this time, and the other two should be the first-level elemental envoys of the Li family.

Lin Qiu had already expected such a result, Sui Xin'er's father and his party were attacked by the Li family, and they were suddenly defeated in the case of the disadvantage of manpower, only Sui Xin'er took advantage of the chaos to escape, and the Li family, who did not get the jade pendant, naturally would not directly kill Sui Xin'er's father, so they killed the Sui family's entourage, arrested Sui Xin'er's father and uncle, and prepared to ask about the whereabouts of the jade pendant, while waiting for the three men in black to capture Sui Xin'er.

Since Sui Xin'er's father was still alive, Lin Qiu naturally couldn't give up the rescue, so after determining the direction of the Li family's evacuation, Lin Qiu took Sui Xin'er and followed carefully, and the Li family did not retreat to the periphery of the Tianfeng Mountain Range, but continued to go deeper, obviously determined to obtain the treasure left by the ancestors of the Sui family.

Then, under the cover of the surrounding trees, two figures in the jungle, one large and one small, advanced rapidly, occasionally stopping to look around, discerning the direction, and then speeding away again.

After rushing for an hour, Lin Qiu's released mind finally sensed the existence of someone, so Lin Qiu hid Sui Xin'er and quietly moved forward by himself, he had to confirm the enemy's strength.

Hiding his breath, Lin Qiu came silently to the place not far from this group of people, on a dense tree, Lin Qiu carefully observed the situation in front of him, in a clearing not far ahead, there was a bonfire in the middle, there was a group of people around the bonfire, Lin Qiu counted, there were twelve people, two of them were tied with ropes, their bodies were covered with bloodstains, and they were obviously injured, and there were four people around them, these two people should be Sui Xin'er's father and uncle.

There are three people standing in front of these two people, although the clothes of these three people are not very neat, but they are obviously much better than the two who were tied up, after Sui Xin'er's description, these three people should be the head of the Li family and the two second-level elements.

There are third-level elemental envoys, and Lin Qiu doesn't dare to probe for too long, if he is discovered, it will be over, but after a short observation, Lin Qiu found that the situation is not optimistic, judging from the state of Sui Xin'er's father and uncle, I am afraid that even half of the combat power will be difficult to preserve, if Lin Qiu adds two second-level elemental envoys to the previous third-level elemental envoy alone, there will be no chance of victory, and it will even be difficult to escape.

Lin Qiu was thinking about countermeasures, only to hear a voice in front of him, "Sui Li, hurry up and explain the whereabouts of Yu Pei, for the sake of our friendship for many years, I won't embarrass you." ”

"Li Tie, you still use this to deceive the three-year-old child, no matter what we say, we have been fighting for half a lifetime, do you think I will believe what you say?" The person who was tied up said that this person was Sui Xin'er's father, Sui Li, the contemporary head of the Sui family.

"Hehe, Sui Li, don't you say that I almost forgot, the two of us have been opponents for so many years, how about it? I didn't expect it to fall into my hands today, right? Among the three people standing in front of Sui Li, the person in the middle said, obviously he is the head of the Li family, Li Tie.

"Humph! Despicable villain, if it weren't for your sudden sneak attack, we would have been afraid of you? Another tied man said, obviously very angry.

"Sui Chong, is your brain broken? No wonder you can't be the head of the house, do you know what it means to be uncompromising? Do you know what it means to be a king and a loser? Vile? Hehehe, naΓ―ve! Li Tie stepped forward and slapped Uncle Sui Xin'er's face with his hand and said.

"You!" The humiliated Sui Chong was about to rush towards Li Tie immediately, but he was immediately held down by the guards on the side.

"Big brother, don't be angry, the more angry you are, the more you fall for their tricks." Sui Li reminded.

"Yo, you are worthy of being the head of the Sui family, your thinking is still so clear, and she is still so rational, she really deserves to be my only opponent for so many years."

Sui Li didn't answer, but turned his face to the side.

Li Tie didn't care, but said to himself: "I just don't know, when your daughter is arrested for a while, you can still keep this calm." ”

"Li Tie! I warn you, if you dare to touch a single hair of my daughter, I will not let you go. Hearing Li Tie mention his daughter, Sui Li immediately turned his head and shouted.

"Hehe, don't get excited, why do you have such a big temper? Shouldn't old friends talk calmly when they meet? I know that the jade pendant is not on you, but on the woman's daughter, so I sent the 'Three Ghosts of the Wang Family' to arrest her, and I believe she will be back soon." ”

Hearing the 'Three Ghosts of the Wang Family', the little luck in Sui Li's original heart no longer exists, this 'Three Ghosts of the Wang Family' is very famous in Xueling Town, although the three of them are only first-level elemental envoys, but the three of them join forces, even the second-level elemental envoys are not their opponents, Sui Xin'er is just a little girl who is less than a first-level elemental envoy, and it is too difficult to escape.

"What? Resigned to fate? ”

Sui Li's change in mood did not escape Li Tie's eyes.

"Li Tie, I beg you, let my daughter go, I can give you whatever you want, don't you want a jade pendant? I promise you, as long as you release my daughter, I will give you the jade pendant, and I will personally help you go treasure hunting. Sui Li succumbed, he had to give in for the sake of his daughter.

"Sui Li, why do you say you are doing this? Just promise to give me the jade pendant earlier? Now that I'm about to get my hands on it, you're going to give it to me, isn't it a little late? But don't worry, I won't embarrass your daughter, and when I get the jade pendant, I will send you on the road together. Li Tieyin said with a smile.

"Li Tie, I beg you, Xin'er is still just a child, I will promise you anything you want, please let her go, okay?" Sui Li almost collapsed.

Lin Qiu couldn't help but be moved when he saw this scene on the tree, this is a father, even if he is the head of the family, at this moment, he is just a father.

"Hold it down and keep watch." Li Tie didn't take Sui Li's plea to heart, he waved his hand and asked Sui Li and the others to press down, turned his head and muttered: "Have these 'three ghosts of the Wang family' been gone for so long?" It's time to come back, right? ”
