After carefully returning to the place where Xu's family was, Xu Nuo climbed over the wall and entered his courtyard after making sure that he was not being followed.
In the courtyard, he did not see the maid who usually served him. Xu Nuo waited for his mood to calm down a little, then washed his face and walked quickly towards Xu Jinsong's house.
Along the way, the Xu family's situation was no different from before.
Their behavior was very natural, as if they had not noticed what happened in Linya County not long ago.
As soon as they arrived at Xu Jinsong's house, they saw Xu Wen pacing irritably inside.
"Where's father?" Xu Nuo asked.
"Where did you just go?" Xu Wen looked a little anxious and seemed very angry, pointing to Xu Jinsong's room, "Go in and see for yourself, don't wake up father."
Um?
Xunuo came to Xu Jinsong's room, put his two fingers together, and knocked on the door.
"Come in." A slightly older voice sounded in the room.
There was an old man standing in the room. Xunuo recognized him and bowed respectfully.
"Fifth Elder."
The old man in front of him is Xu Zhihe, the fifth elder of the Xu family.
This was not the first time Xu Nuo met him after he traveled through time and was reborn in this world. The relationship between the fifth elder and Xu Jinsong was very good, so the fifth elder Xu Zhihe also took care of Xu Wen and Xu Nuo on weekdays.
He was also very concerned about Xu Nuo, and would come to Xu Nuo's house from time to time to explain some cultivation matters to him.
Xu Nuo was also very grateful to Xu Zhihe. If it weren't for him, he felt that he would not be able to master the knowledge of immortality in this world in a short time.
Fifth Elder Xu Zhiping was always laughing and joking like an old naughty boy, but at this moment, his face seemed to have a dark cloud, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura.
After seeing Xu Nuo, the murderous aura in Xu Zhihe's body became relieved.
"Tomorrow's Immortal Ascension Conference is cancelled."
"Promise, call Xu Wen, you two brothers...after you see your father later, you two brothers come to my side!"
Xu Zhihe's words came out, and then he punched the ground, making a hole in the floor.
Then, Xu Zhihe stopped talking and left with a straight face and anger.
He is a warrior, and his kung fu has reached the level of moving mountains. If he had used the full force of the punch just now, I am afraid that the entire house would have collapsed directly under the power of this punch.
Obviously, he had withdrawn his strength from this punch.
"Nuo'er, are you there?" Xu Jinsong's weak voice came from the back room.
Xu Nuo heard the sound and walked in. When he saw Xu Jinsong's appearance, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
At this time, Xu Jinsong was lying on the bed. He had lost his previous energetic appearance. He seemed to be more than ten years older. He still looked like a middle-aged man before, but now he even has white hair on his temples, making him look like a six-year-old man. An ordinary seventy-year-old man.
He was half-naked and covered with bandages. There was blood seeping from the bandages. It was obvious that he had suffered a serious injury not long ago.
"How did you become like this?"
"Ahem, help me up."
Xu Nuo carefully helped Xu Jinsong sit up from the bed, and the latter said feebly:
"Just now, there were several monks setting up formations in Linya County. I failed to stop them, so I was slightly injured because of my inferior skills."
Is this a minor injury?
Seeing the horrific wounds that almost cut off half of Xu Jinsong's body, Xu Nuo didn't know what to say for a moment.
He and Xu Jinsong had no close relationship at all. If he had to pretend to be sad, it would be fake, and Xu Jinsong, who was like a human being, might see at a glance that he was putting on a fake show.
"The fifth elder just said that the Immortal Ascension Conference has been cancelled?"
"It's not cancelled. Uncle Wu has a straight temper. He doesn't want you two brothers to get involved in such a dangerous plan anymore." Xu Jinsong spoke with some difficulty. Every time he spoke, he had to pause and take a breath. tone.
"He said that the main pulse of the Xu family cannot be cut off. What he said was too serious. I was not injured to the point of dying."
Hearing Xu Jinsong emphasize again and again that his injury was not serious, Xu Nuo raised his eyebrows secretly.
Then, after thinking for a moment, he said, "Why don't you let Xu Wen in?"
"According to common sense, if you really think that the family may fall into panic after you are seriously injured, then you should let Xu Wen be responsible for some things within his ability. But now your performance is a little contradictory."
"Hey, it would be great if your eldest brother could get some cleverness from you."
Xu Jinsong chuckled and shook his head. His face changed from pale to ruddy. Compared with the half-dead and dying state just now, he looked like a completely different person.
"Yes, although I suffered a small injury, the injury is far from endangering my life."
Looking at the lively Xu Jinsong, he made promises and chirped.
As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. Others would probably not think much about Xu Jinsong's injury. Even if it was the original owner of this body, he might not realize that Xu Jinsong was acting and pretending to be seriously injured.
"Those monks are not from Linya County, nor are they people invited by the other three major families. They have also gone to the other three major families. The heads of the other three families may be in danger of their lives."
Then, he changed his tone and continued: "If the heads of the other three families are seriously injured, then it will be a great thing for us. Wait until tomorrow, and the success rate of the plan to destroy the body will increase again Increase it by a few!”
Xu Nuo pondered: "You mean, the other three families originally planned to join forces to deal with our Xu family at tomorrow's Immortal Ascension Conference?"
"It's not impossible. Of course, this is just a guess based on my worst-case scenario."
"I see."
Xu Nuo didn't say much. He was about to leave Xu Jinsong's house when he stopped him.
"Do you have anything else to do?"
"Someone in the county fell into a coma before. What do you think about this?"
Xu Nuo tried his best to make his expression look as normal as possible, and said doubtfully: "I don't know. From what you said, maybe it has something to do with the foreign monks who came to Linya County?"
"Well, maybe. You should prepare well. Our Xu family may encounter resistance at tomorrow's Immortal Ascension Conference. You don't need to worry about this. Regarding the monk's body, you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. It depends on the situation. , I may accompany you."
…
After leaving Xu Jinsong's room, Xu Wen came up to him, his eyes full of worry.
"How is father doing?"
"It shouldn't be life-threatening. Let him rest for a while."
Although Xu Nuo was still communicating with Xu Wen, he was not at peace in his heart at this time.
Just now, Xu Jinsong's tone of voice when talking to him had obviously changed.
Could it be that he discovered something fishy in his words and deeds?
