He was both grateful and guilty. Li Muchan was obviously seriously injured, but he still had to cast a spell desperately. This life-saving technique was definitely not an ordinary internal operation. It must be a huge burden. Even if it usually has many sequelae, now he is seriously injured.

Maybe the consequences will be even greater.

Li Muchan shook his head and sighed: "Although I tried my best, it's a pity..."

"Ah, father, he...?" Dugu Heng's expression changed.

Li Muchan nodded: "I didn't do my best."

Duguheng asked hurriedly: "How long can father live?"

Li Muchan said: "His life is not in danger, but his martial arts skills may be..."

"Huh..." Dugu Heng breathed a long sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Li, you almost scared me to death!"

Li Muchan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Martial arts are the life of a warrior. If the master's martial arts is gone, I'm afraid..."

"As long as the human life is there, it will be gone if the martial arts is gone!" Dugu Heng said hurriedly: "Since dad is the head of the family, he doesn't have to charge into battle, so it doesn't matter if he loses the martial arts."

Dugu Jinghua nodded: "Sir, you have tried your best."

Li Muchan said: "Without martial arts, he is afraid that he will be unable to recover."

Dugu Jinghua hummed: "It's just right, he doesn't have to indulge in martial arts all day long. He has no time to talk to us."

Dugu Heng smiled bitterly: "Auntie, my father will be angry if he hears this."

"Aren't these your words?" Dugu Jinghua rolled his eyes at him.

Dugu Heng scratched his head: "This is true."

*******************************

Li Muchan watched the two of them bickering, closed his eyes with a smile, and began to adjust his breath. This time, he suffered a big loss. He used secret techniques to extend Dugujue's life, but he suffered a huge loss.

If it were not for the sake of Dugu Jinghua and Dugu Heng, he would never save Dugu Jue. Unfortunately, he could not save Dugu Jue now, so he could only suppress his injuries.

The two of them saw Li Muchan close his eyes and shut his mouth knowingly. They allowed him to adjust his breathing quietly, then closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing without moving.

Dugu Jue woke up about half an hour later. As soon as he opened his eyes, Dugu Heng knew it and called out in a low voice: "Father, you're awake!"

Dugujue frowned and looked at him: "Xiao Heng, why are you here?"

Dugu Heng said: "Of course I'm here."

"You were killed too?!" Dugujue's face was gloomy.

Dugu Heng said hurriedly: "Dad, you are not dead, you were rescued by Brother Li!"

"Am I not dead?" Dugujue frowned, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he looked around and saw Li Muchan opposite, closing his eyes and stilling his breath.

And his silly sister was looking at him with her unblinking bright eyes, which was so unsightly that he couldn't help but snort.

Dugu Jinghua turned around and forced a smile: "Brother, are you awake?"

"Well, I'm fine. What happened to him?" Dugujue looked at Li Muchan.

Dugu Jinghua hummed: "Isn't it because I saved my eldest brother?... Sir, he was injured to begin with, but seeing you like that, he couldn't ignore death, so he could only risk his own injuries and insist on saving you, but in the end

This is what I have become!"

"I owe Mr. Li a favor!" Dugujue said slowly.

Dugu Jinghua said angrily: "You owe this person your life. He sacrificed his life to save you. How can a favor be repaid!"

"I pledged myself to you for saving my life, so I will betroth you to him as repayment!" Dugujue said with a smile.

Dugu Jinghua suddenly blushed: "Brother--!"

Dugujue coughed a few times, covered his hands and said, "Xiao Heng, help me up."

Dugu Heng stepped forward to help him as he was told: "Father, are you okay?"

"Much better." Dugujue nodded and stood up slowly.

*************************************

Dugu Jue helped Dugu Heng stand up and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, I am lucky. I can save my life this time. Thank God. I also want to thank Mr. Li!"

Dugu Heng nodded hurriedly and said: "Exactly, father, you picked up this life. If it had been another time, or if Brother Li hadn't come here, father, you would have been reincarnated this time!"

"Silly boy, I know!" Dugujue nodded.

Dugu Heng said hurriedly: "There is something you should know, father."

"What's the matter? Tell me, don't hesitate!" Dugu Jue said angrily.

Dugu Heng looked at Dugu Jinghua, who nodded: "You have to know sooner or later. It's better to know earlier than later!"

"What happened?!" Dugujue's face changed slightly.

Dugu Heng gritted his teeth and said helplessly: "Dad, you may have to practice martial arts again."

"Huh——?" Dugujue was startled, and then his face changed drastically: "My martial arts is useless?"

"...Well." Dugu Heng sighed and said helplessly: "Although Brother Li can save your life, it's a pity that your martial arts... Father, if your martial arts is gone, you can practice again, as long as you are here, you are not

He often told me that as long as the green hills are left, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood!"

"...Okay, I understand." Dugujue frowned and nodded: "Isn't it just martial arts? If I can save my life, it's good!"

"Father, have you figured it out!?" Duguheng couldn't believe it.

He saw that his father was busy practicing all day long, which showed his persistence in martial arts. Now all the hard work was wasted, and his martial arts was completely useless. His father was so ordinary!

Dugujue sighed: "It's really not easy to save my life this time, I'm satisfied! ... Xiao Heng. It's important to be content, and being too greedy is asking for trouble!"

"Yes, father, it's best if you think so!" Dugu Heng nodded hurriedly.

Dugujue sighed: "It's a fluke. This is a deadly situation. I can still be alive, but I don't know if Old Tang and Old Zhao can survive!"

Dugu Heng said: "Father, you should wear the inner armor!"

Dugujue shook his head: "It's useless. Under the God-Breaking Arrow, any treasure armor is useless!... Mr. Li's injury doesn't matter, right?"

Dugu Jinghua snorted: "It turned out to be no serious problem, but now to save you, I don't know how much the injury is!... He took an arrow to save me, and now to save you, he got more injured.

Our Dugu family is really..."

Dugu Heng smiled and said: "Auntie, just marry him to make up for it!"

"You bastard, stop talking nonsense!" Dugu Jinghua's face turned red again.

*************************************

Dugujue looked thoughtful and shook his head: "Little sister, who assassinated you?"

"A few monks and a few masters." Dugu Jinghua said: "I couldn't see clearly, so I was pulled away by the master."

"Well, that's right. He is a master from Ouchi." Dugujue nodded: "The emperor wants to kill us all!"

"That's right." Dugu Heng said hurriedly: "To assassinate you, my father, and to assassinate my aunt is too much. What should we do?"

He felt chilled when he thought of the previous situation. A group of people suddenly came out, shot crossbows, and then disappeared. Like a gust of wind, they suddenly came and drifted away. The master guards in the mansion had no time to react.

What kind of assassination was this? It was just a direct attack on the door. The top experts in the mansion were unable to stop it and did not notice it. Thinking about it makes me feel frustrated.

If you can't stop it this time, you won't be able to stop it next time. In this case, doesn't your life depend on the emperor's thoughts?

What he was thinking about, Dugujue also thought about it. With a gloomy face, he shook his head and said: "We have all underestimated the emperor. It is amazing how advanced the masters are!"

"The masters in Ouchi are better, or our masters are not?" Dugu Jinghua asked: "How on earth did you encounter the assassination?"

Dugu Heng said: "Auntie, they rushed directly to the main hall and killed them openly and openly. The guards didn't notice it before and didn't have time to react. They had already rushed out."

Dugu Jinghua frowned and said, "Sneaked in?"

Dugu Heng nodded vigorously and said: "Well, aunt, I think our mansion is too loose. They come and go as they please. There is really no obstacle at all. It's so scary!"

Dugujue shook his head and said: "They should have a secret technique, so they can achieve this, so don't be too afraid. This kind of secret technique cannot be used casually, and the price is not small."

"I hope so." Dugu Heng sighed: "We can't avoid it again, isn't it, father?"

Dugujue frowned and scowled, and hummed: "Since he wants to kill everyone and reveal the truth, we will fight him to the death!"

"Brother, what are you going to do?" Dugu Jinghua asked hurriedly.

Dugu Jue said: "He dares to send people to assassinate us, why don't we dare to assassinate him?"

"Brother, you are crazy!" Dugu Jinghua shook his head and said, "This is against the rules!"

Dugujue sneered: "He broke the rules first!"

Dugu Jinghua frowned and said: "Brother, once we do this, we will really have no room for reconciliation. I think after this assassination, he will not send anyone again!"

"I don't know if Old Tang and Old Zhao can avoid it this time!" Dugujue shook his head and sighed: "If we can't avoid it, then we are really alone!"

Dugujue continued: "Xiao Heng, please send someone to find out the news quickly!"

"Okay!" Dugu Heng nodded hurriedly: "Auntie, I'm going!"

"Don't go there yourself." Dugu Jinghua said hurriedly.

Duguheng smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, aunt, I will be careful!"
