Chapter 353: Night Raid Plan

The night air was slightly cool.

The fleeting Sword Sect Intent that had appeared in Tian Sang City left everyone sighing in regret. After all, during breakthroughs, many people had been consumed by the sword, leading to their demise and the dissipation of their Dao. This minor incident only stirred a slight ripple among the higher-ups in Tian Sang City, but it certainly wasn't enough to mobilize a full-scale response.

In Xu Xiaoshou's new home, within the small estate,

Xin Gugu suddenly jumped up in shock, standing rigidly.

After hearing Xu Xiaoshou's plan, he felt as if he'd swallowed an explosive—filled with excitement and wildly incredulous disbelief.

"You're crazy, night raiding the Zhang family?"

"Tonight?"

This guy must be the real demon beast host—I think you, kid, are the demon beast itself!

In Tian Sang City, directly confronting the Zhang family head-on—was that something a Yuan Ting Realm underling should even consider?

Don't you think just thinking about it is a blatant insult to this continent's strict hierarchical system?

Xian Tian?

Night raiding the Zhang family?

"Heh." Xin Gugu let out a cold laugh.

Xu Xiaoshou stared at him steadily. "You're right, not just tonight—looking at the sky, the time is about right now."

"If you have no objections, we can head out right this moment."

"I..." Xin Gugu was momentarily speechless. "You're not joking, are you?"

"Challenged, Passive Points, 1."

Xu Xiaoshou nodded, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"You've seen the Yuan Fu—there's nothing wrong with it. Even if a Zhan Dao or Tai Xu expert showed up, they might not fully grasp its rules."

"At most, they'd just sense something odd."

"So, what are you still worried about?"

Xu Xiaoshou suddenly raised his tone, asking in confusion, "Or are you scared?"

"Scared?"

Xin Gugu puffed out his chest, almost laughing in anger.

"When have I, Xin Gugu, ever been scared?"

"Heh, then that's settled. Let's go."

As Xu Xiaoshou spoke, he strode away, leaving the house first.

"This..."

"Really just walking off like that?"

Though Xin Gugu said this, he still felt a strong wave of shock.

Does this kid always act so impulsively?

Buying a house on a whim, destroying the Zhang family just like that?

Ah, spit—it’s impossible to destroy them.

But as he said, just go over and set off some fireworks, give them a little itch?

What's the point of that?

"How could anyone want to do something so thankless?"

Xin Gugu frowned, but thinking of that scruffy uncle, no matter how unreliable this kid was, he had to protect him with all his might.

For the first time, it wasn't someone else cleaning up after his chaos—instead, he was the one protecting someone, and Xin Gugu felt a strange emotion rising in his heart.

Honestly, this feeling made him quite uneasy.

"Hope everything goes smoothly."

He stepped forward, following the young man ahead.

"Oh, right!"

Xu Xiaoshou suddenly stopped, pulling A Jie from his embrace and summoning it with a casual wave.

"Meet him—this guy's called A Jie, he's really powerful. You two will probably need to work together later."

"As for me, I'll just be along for the ride."

Xin Gugu jumped in fright.

Staring at the small boy in the straw hat before him, he hesitated.

"This guy has cultivation?"

A Jie was sizing him up too.

Though they hadn't met in person before, having followed Xu Xiaoshou, it could observe the people around him, so this wasn't their first encounter for it.

"Mama..."

Under Xu Xiaoshou's training, this guy had mostly stopped attacking people randomly.

Or rather, it had learned that saying hello didn't mean smashing someone's head into the floor.

"Cough, mama?"

Xin Gugu looked utterly bewildered, turning back to Xu Xiaoshou with a face full of question marks.

What on earth is this?

"No worries, as long as you've met."

Xu Xiaoshou waved it off—he didn't expect Xin Gugu to communicate with A Jie anyway.

Introducing them beforehand was just to avoid scaring his own side later.

A little mental preparation would make things easier for everyone during the fight.

"For now, that's it. This operation is just us three—you both just follow my orders."

"No need to think about it!"

Xin Gugu was even more panicked.

He followed behind this person and this treasure in a daze, feeling utterly absurd.

Did this lineup look like they were about to attack the Zhang family, the top of Tian Sang City's four major powers?

Sister, come save me!

As their footsteps faded and their shadows thinned,

Under the full moon, Mu Zi Xi sat on the rooftop, clutching her twin tails as she watched the two leave, her hand slowly slipping down.

Confusion rose in her eyes, and the young girl tilted her head to gaze at the moon.

The clear moonlight fell, illuminating her delicate face and outlining her petite features with a fresh charm.

"This is the second time you've watched him leave like this."

"You've realized it, haven't you? You're already falling behind his pace."

"Aren't you going to accept me?"

An indifferent voice echoed in her mind, and the young girl's large eyes snapped shut, her delicate nose wrinkling.

"Go away!"

She snapped softly, and the irritating voice finally vanished without another word.

"Why is it like this?"

The confusion in Mu Zi Xi's eyes deepened.

She seemed to see again the morning scene where she had trailed far behind Xu Xiaoshou, watching him suddenly vanish, only to reappear in a pool of blood.

Even if she wanted to save him, the thrones everywhere made it impossible to move.

It wasn't until the battle ended and the uncle left that she dared to approach, helping Xin Gugu carry Xu Xiaoshou back.

A sense of powerlessness echoed in her heart.

Mu Zi Xi had always considered herself a genius.

She had spent less than a year in the outer courtyard, almost another Su Qianqian.

But even with such talent, she felt she was struggling to keep up with Xu Xiaoshou.

His enemies had unknowingly reached the throne level!

"Memories..."

Mu Zi Xi murmured.

She felt everything was as illusory as her memories.

Her mind's memories started directly at the gate of Tian Sang Spirit Palace, with nothing from her childhood.

She didn't even know how old she was.

She had always been chasing after these lost memories.

The first turning point came when Tian Xuan Gate faced the gray mist figures.

That was the first time she sensed the seal on her memories loosening.

For some reason, she had blurted out the words "Feng Tian Sheng Di."

The second loosening was even more intense.

The blind man's appearance, the sudden headache, and that glance as Ye Xiao Tian broke free from his control—all made more things burst forth in her mind.

From that moment, a strange, indifferent voice occasionally appeared in her thoughts...

"What a mess!"

The more the young girl thought, the more irritated she became, her hand directly prying up a roof tile and tossing it away.

"I don't want to follow him, Xu Xiaoshou, always being called like that!"

After a long silence, she muttered softly.

"Hmph, not taking me along to play..."
