Chapter 742: Chapter 742: Change of Destiny (Three more updates today)
Liu Sisi still clenched her teeth and shook her head: “Now that the civil strife has begun, don’t you care about not only yourself but also YingEr’s life?”
“No! Mom, please let me stay, I promise I won’t cause you any trouble, Mom, Xuan’er begs you!”
Di Xuan knelt on the ground, pleading bitterly, tears streaming down his face.
“Get up! A man’s knees are made of gold, and they shouldn’t kneel easily. Silly child, your mother is doing this for your own good, that’s why you have to leave me.”
Liu Sisi reached out to help him up: “By staying with me, you won’t learn any skills, but on the contrary, you will be implicated because of me! An eagle spreads its wings, its territory is the sky, not this inner courtyard! If I kept you, that would be harming you! Do you understand?”
“But…” Di Xuan still wanted to speak.
“No more ‘buts,’ listen to your mother, and let me tell you…”
Liu Sisi whispered into Di Xuan’s ear: “You must remember what I just told you, do not ever forget your mother’s instructions. And don’t mention them to outsiders! When you go out later, follow Prefecture Princess Luo, head north to the capital city because your Dad and I will also be going to the capital. Do you understand?”
Di Xuan wiped his tears vigorously and nodded forcefully: “Mom, Xuan’er remembers! Xuan’er will definitely send the Prefecture Princess Luo and YingEr safely to the capital city! I will!”
Liu Sisi was genuinely happy: “Good! You two are my good children…”

Shopkeeper Gu stood in the middle of the wolf pack, his eyes full of bloodshot, wishing he could tear Di Yelei apart!
He led his men in pursuit all the way, naturally finding the path his subordinates mentioned earlier that wasn’t much of a path. They pursued with great joy.
Unexpectedly, they first encountered a den of leopards, causing the deaths and injuries of most of his men. Weren’t these damned leopards supposed to act alone? Why were there so many gathered together? Shopkeeper Gu couldn’t understand.
Actually, Shopkeeper Gu was right. Usually, leopards do act alone, but these leopards were led by a mother leopard living with her five cubs, who were more than one year old. Di Yelei, being a hunter for many years, knew that this mother leopard was pregnant and could estimate the cubs’ sizes. He managed to avoid casualties by passing quickly.
But Shopkeeper Gu and his men had no precautions, having a large number of people who directly intruded into the leopards’ territory. Besides, the accidental death of one cub yesterday further provoked the mother leopard’s ferocity. The men rushed up, just in time to collide with the leopards…
They finally managed to get past the leopards after much difficulty, but most of the men were injured. The smell of fresh blood immediately attracted the nearby pack of wolves.
The wolves were frightened by Di Yelei’s thunderbolt bomb yesterday and initially only followed them cautiously. When they realized these men were no match for them, they started attacking them.
They barely escaped to the bridge where Di Yelei had killed the wolves with explosives, only to find that the small bridge had been artificially destroyed and was impassable…
Shopkeeper Gu was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, barely suppressing his rage.
With the wolves behind them and no way ahead, were his men going to die, not at the hands of the enemy, but with the ignominy of being buried in the wolves’ bellies? Would they perish here?

Di Yelei had no idea how frustrated Shopkeeper Gu was; even if he knew, he would laugh out loud three times.
At the moment, he was busy cleaning his big blade weapon. He could not remember how many wolves he had killed with this blade, but judging from the completely curled blade edge, the number was not small.
“It seems that your blade is wasted. Why not use mine instead?”
From the side, Zhao Yuanlang casually handed over a big blade.
Di Yelei didn’t hesitate, grabbing the blade directly. The heavy feeling of it in his hand made him happy, and he immediately became interested in this blade.
He happily swung it a few times, and the more Di Yelei used it, the happier he became: “What a good blade! It’s so much better than the one I had!”
