After putting Du Lingwei back on her thin clothes and hugging her on the bed, Du Qingqing and Du Tinng left. According to Du Shaomu's instructions, they would prepare warm water five hours later.
On the bed, Du Shaomu started to continue acupuncture Du Lingwei.
"What's the situation inside?"
Outside the door, Du Jinke, Du Dazhuang, and Du Chu were all very worried and asked Du Tinng and Du Qingqing.
"He looks much better. Elder Brother Shaomu is still giving the needles to Lingwei!" Du Tinng and Du Qingqing said to Du Jinke and the others.
Hearing this, Du Jinke, Du Dazhuang, and the others felt a lot more relieved.
"Du Jinke, get the hell out here!"
"Du Jinke, hand over Du Shaomu and get out here!"
There was a sudden uproar outside the door.
Du Jinke, Du Dazhuang, and the others' expressions immediately changed.
Outside the courtyard, over a hundred people had already surrounded him.
The leader was Du Xiangfeng, and behind him were all the clan's Du Family disciples.
When they saw Du Jinke walk out, the group of people became even more excited.
"Du Jinke, hand over Du Shaomu!"
"Du Jinke, hand Du Shaomu over. Otherwise, I won't be polite with you!"
Many people berated Du Jinke, but no one took him seriously.
Even some of the younger generation did not put Du Jinke in their eyes.
"You guys are going too far!"
Du Dazhuang shouted, looking at the group of Du Family people in front of him, his gaze furious, his heart aching, he said: "You guys only know how to bully one of our Du Family people, if you have the ability why don't you go and find someone with Heelian Family to clamor!"
Hearing Du Dazhuang's words, the crowd became silent for a while, and many of them had ugly expressions on their faces.
Du Xiangfeng looked at Du Jinke and Du Dazhuang, and with a cold glint in his eyes, he said loudly: "Du Jinke, you are indulging a foreign kid, crippling Du Pinng, you are just a Du Family disciple, you truly have a ruthless heart!"
"Yeah, you guys actually allowed an outsider to cripple our Du Family's disciple, this is too much!"
Soon, the crowd started clamoring again.
"Du Jinke, hand over that Du Shaomu or I won't let you off!"
Du Xiangfeng stared coldly at Du Jinke. An aura surged from his body, enveloping Du Jinke's body.
"Hurry, hand over Du Shaomu!"
"Hand over Du Shaomu and he will pay the price!"
The group of people surged and glared at Du Jinke, demanding to hand over Du Shaomu.
"Shaomu is treating Lingwei's Chilling Qi. None of you are allowed to disturb him. Otherwise, even if I risk my life, I won't let you off!"
Du Jinke clenched his teeth, and his eyes carried a pleading look: "Seeing that we are all disciples of Du Family, I beg you, Shaomu is really treating Lingwei's cold energy, he cannot be disturbed, Lingwei has been tortured by the cold energy since she was young, and cannot be affected."
"How can that wet behind the ears brat have the ability to treat cold energy? No matter what, we have to hand him over today!"
Du Xiangfeng said coldly. Today, he will definitely take revenge for crippling his grandson.
"What do you want to do?!"
Suddenly, a shout like this sounded out.
After which, a figure descended from the skies, emitting a powerful aura.
The person who came was a red-robed elder. His eyes were like torches as a scorching aura emanated from his body. His gaze swept across Du Xiangfeng and the others.
"Ninth Protector …"
Seeing the newcomers, a group of Du Family practitioners immediately revealed fear in their eyes.
The entire Carefree Sect knew that Ninth Protector and Du Jinke grew up together, and their relationship was extremely good.
Although Du Xiangfeng had absolute fear in his heart, he still clenched his teeth and said to Ninth Protector: "Ninth Protector, it's good that you came. This Sun Steeler condones that outsider Du Shaomu to cripple my grandson Du Pinng. Ninth Protector, you have to uphold justice for me!"
"Davy, I already know about this. I don't care what grudge you have with Younger Brother Shaomu, but let me tell you, Younger Brother Shaomu is not only my benefactor, he is also a VIP in my Carefree Sect. I'm here on orders to look for Brother Shaomu, are you still going to make a ruckus?" Ninth Protector asked, staring at Du Xiangfeng.
"This …"
Du Xiangfeng's facial expression changed. He looked at Ninth Protector and then at Du Jinke and knew that there was nothing he could do today.
"This matter is not over yet. Even if we have to go to the elders, I must seek justice!"
The moment Du Xiangfeng finished his words, he signaled to the people around him with his eyes before leaving hatefully.
Watching Du Xiangfeng and the others leave, Du Jinke finally let out a sigh of relief. Looking at Ninth Protector, he forced a smile and said, "It's all thanks to you again!"
"Sigh …"
Ninth Protector sighed with emotion. He knew that his old brother was always in Du Family's situation. Although he could help out a little, he couldn't do too much.
He was just a protector, not an elder.
Ninth Protector then said to Du Jinke, "Younger Brother Shaomu, I have something to discuss with him."
"I'm afraid this trip will go in vain. Shaomu is currently treating Lingwei's Chilling Qi. It'll take three days, so no one can disturb him!" Du Jinke said.
"Is that so …"
Ninth Protector's gaze moved, he also knew that the Chilling Qi on Lingwei's body was not ordinary.
"Howl …"
It was also at this time that a gigantic flying demonic beast appeared in the sky above them. It spread its wings and swept across the entire area with a fierce aura.
On the demonic beast's mount, stood a few extraordinary looking youths. Their auras were sharp and their hair fluttered, making them seem very extraordinary.
"Greetings, Ninth Protector!"
When the youths saw Ninth Protector, they seemed to be surprised. Their expressions changed and they jumped down from their flying demonic beast mounts to greet him.
"What brings you here?"
Ninth Protector recognized these few youths, and was considered to have quite a bit of fame amongst the inner disciples of Carefree Sect.
"Reporting to Ninth Protector, we have come to help senior brother Feng Yu deliver the message, inviting Du Shaomu to fight at Battlestage!" A young man replied.1
"Feng Yu!"
Du Jinke, Du Dazhuang, and Du Chu's expressions changed when they heard the youth's words.
Ninth Protector also raised his eyebrows when he heard that.
"… …"
The news of Feng Yu's battle with Du Shaomu spread through the Carefree Sect, causing people to be shocked, but also look forward to it.
Feng Yu was one of the top inner disciples, the captain of the enforcement team's inner disciple. In this year's inner disciple test, he was the most likely to become a direct disciple.
Within the Carefree Sect, there were two rankings, Dragon Rankings s and Tiger Rankings s.
Dragon Rankings was a ranking list between direct disciples.
Tiger Rankings was the inner sect's ranking board.
The two rankings were based on strength. The stronger one was, the higher their ranking would be.
Above the Tiger Rankings, there was a hundred ranks.
Being able to enter a position above the one hundred Tiger Rankings meant that he had an absolute confidence in his own strength, and that was the best proof of that.
Anyone who stepped out of the realm of Tiger Rankings was an absolute influential figure, and any noble king would have to welcome them personally.
There was also a rumor that practically all of the top fifty Tiger Rankings would become direct disciples of the Carefree Sect, and would be accepted by elders as disciples.
