Chapter 1719

This was when he encountered bandits on the road, was chased by them, stumbled accidentally, and broke his leg.

"I…"

Ximen Wudi wanted to explain something.

1550 will heal you.

But just as he tried to speak, his throat burned with pain, making it impossible to articulate clearly.

"Oh dear, it seems your injuries are worse than I thought—I must treat you."

The Third Elder immediately understood.

It must be this Xu Young Master who suffered heavy injuries and was being hunted down.

Otherwise, how could he end up like this?

He immediately pulled out a pill and shoved it into Ximen Wudi's mouth.

"Young Master, swallow it—it will benefit you."

Ximen Wudi immediately swallowed the pill.

At this moment, the Third Elder had already used spiritual energy to heal him.

Soon, Ximen Wudi felt a searing pain within his body gradually dissipating.

He instantly widened his eyes in shock.

Could this Third Elder really possess such a miraculous healing Famen?

"Third Uncle, how did you do that?"

"I only know medicine—I know nothing else!"

The Third Elder proudly tilted his chin upward.

"As long as you obey me faithfully, I will teach you every healing technique in this world."

"Hahaha, good, then I'm counting on you, Third Uncle."

"Once I recover, I'll make my father reward you with a high-grade refining art!"

Ximen Wudi excitedly rubbed his hands.

In Xu Fu, aside from his father, the Third Elder's refining skills were the highest.

Now that he suffered heavy injuries, he must ask the Third Elder for as much help as possible.

The Third Elder smiled.

"But our Xu family is very poor—we probably can't afford to pay you for your services, Young Master."

"That's no problem—I did this on a whim anyway; consider it me doing you a favor, no payment needed."

Ximen Wudi waved his hand generously.

"I'm easy to feed, Third Uncle—just rest assured."

"That's good."

The Third Elder nodded.

"Then rest here for now—I'll go find you some herbs."

Saying this, he turned and left.

Watching his elegant departure, Ximen Wudi couldn't help muttering under his breath.

"Acting all high and mighty! Once I regain my strength, I'll make you beg on your knees!"

"Hey, aren't you the Xu family's Third Elder? What are you doing here?"

Ye Qingli had also overheard their conversation.

Ximen Wudi's eyes instantly lit up.

"So this Third Elder is still in Xu Fu! What luck—I've been searching everywhere and now he's right here!"

He rushed forward and grabbed the Third Elder's arm.

"Third Uncle, I've just run into trouble."

The Third Elder coldly glanced at Ximen Wudi.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Ximen Wudi, your nephew."

"Oh, so it's you."

The Third Elder suddenly realized.

At this moment, Xu Wenlong had already arrived.

Upon seeing Ximen Wudi, a venomous glint flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph, what a coincidence—what are you doing here?"

"I was just coming to settle accounts with you!"

Saying this, he raised his sword and lunged at Ximen Wudi!

"Third Uncle!"

Ximen Wudi cried out in panic.

"Are you trying to seize my family inheritance?"

The Third Elder said coolly: "I've long wanted to expel you from the family—that way, I could monopolize Xu Fu's wealth."

"But I haven't found a suitable replacement yet, so I can't act yet—I can only capture you first and slowly torture you!"

Ximen Wudi turned pale as death!

He suddenly remembered.

This Third Elder was no good man.

His reputation within the Xu family was utterly foul.

Because he was ignorant and incompetent, spent every day out stirring up trouble, had once beaten up a servant of the Xu family, and had even forcibly taken a commoner's daughter!

This time, when he came out to temper himself, it was also because Xu Wenlong had forced him to.

If not for Xu Wenlong pressuring Ximen Wudi to marry Zhao Wanrong, then Ximen Wudi would not have met with this calamity.

"Third Uncle, you've misunderstood. I came today because I have an urgent matter!"

"What matter?"

Ximen Wudi said hurriedly, "I ran into a friend who is being hunted by a band of bandits. Right now, I'm being chased by them with no way to heaven and no gate to earth. Please, Third Uncle, help me. I will surely repay you generously!"

The Third Elder frowned.

"The friend you're talking about — it wouldn't happen to be that good-for-nothing, would it?"

The two words 'good-for-nothing' were bitten out with special emphasis.

Ximen Wudi's face instantly flushed red.

He could not help secretly feeling annoyed.

Had he known, he never should have provoked that good-for-nothing Xu Wenlong!

Now it was just great — he had dragged Xu Zichen into it, and on top of that, was being hunted by Xu Wenlong.

Now, he owed the Third Elder another favor.

He truly regretted it to the very bottom of his gut.

If he had known earlier that Xu Wenlong was behind it, he would never have come even if it killed him!

However, no matter how much he regretted it now, it was already too late.

The Third Elder had already begun to act.

"Since that's the case, then I'll lend you a hand — let's see whether the friend you speak of really is that good-for-nothing!"

Having said that, he directly took out his weapon and lunged at Xu Zichen!

The Third Elder was a peak Fifth-rank powerhouse; Xu Zichen was a low Fourth-rank.

Therefore, when Xu Zilong faced his attack, he had no defense at all.

Moreover, the Third Elder this time was harboring the intent to wipe out Xu Zichen — he had not held back in the slightest!

Xu Zilong was directly sent staggering back several meters!
