Since they were going on the road together, she couldn’t keep calling him ‘kid’.

“What’s your name?” Shen Yijia looked into his eyes and asked. She suddenly thought of a name that suited him very well. Blue Moon. If there was no name, she could name him.

Ah Xun’s eyelids twitched from her gaze and he hurriedly said, “Ah Xun. My mother gave it to me. She said that every time she called my name, she would remember my hometown and not forget it.”

Shen Yijia was a little disappointed.

Without further delay, the few of them started riding again. Rooster looked at Ah Xun, who was sitting in front of him, and warned, “You’d better not use your tricks on our master. Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died.”

The child, who had always been timid and obedient in front of Shen Yijia, suddenly turned around and gave Rooster a provocative smile. “Are you talking about the sister in front?”

Rooster’s eyes turned cold, and killing intent filled his eyes.

Ah Xun’s smile disappeared. He tilted his head and returned to his innocent and harmless appearance. He turned his body slightly and patted Rooster’s chest comfortingly. “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you guys. Besides…”

He looked at Shen Yijia in front of him. “I quite like that sister.”

He knew that Rooster was suspicious of him, so he deliberately revealed his true self in front of him. At the same time, he showed him that he was harmless. This way, he could continue acting to win everyone’s trust. At that time, it would be easier to attack.

Rooster looked into his eyes steadily. He had to admit that he had been tricked again. His guard was lowered, just a little.

After rushing for a long time, the sky was about to turn dark. They happened to pass by a village. Shen Yijia thought that she might not be able to rest after entering Xunyang. In addition, she had been traveling non-stop for the past few days. Even her legs were in pain from the friction, let alone Mo Yuan and Rooster.

She was really worried that if this continued, the two of them would die suddenly without the help of the Huns in Xunyang. She might as well take this opportunity to rest for the night and ask Rooster to treat Ah Xun’s wounds.

The houses here had long been emptied. There were traces of the houses being searched everywhere. Shen Yijia casually found the nearest house and pushed the door open.

When Rooster heard Shen Yijia’s instructions, he glared at Ah Xun angrily. He took the medicine from Shen Yijia and brought him to another room.

Shen Yijia went out to find four bowls that could still be used. She found some water and washed them casually.

She dropped a drop of spiritual liquid into her water pouch and poured some for Furball. The remaining three bowls of water were brought to the other three.

When she was done, Rooster and Ah Xun returned.

Shen Yijia called out, “Come and have some water.”

She had seven drops of spiritual liquid now, and she still had six drops left after using one. She did not have to worry about not having enough at a critical moment.

Pleasantly surprised, Rooster leaned over and picked up the bowl with both hands. “Thank you, Young Madam.”

After saying that, he raised his head and finished it in one gulp. He even forgot Shen Yijia’s instructions to call her ‘Master’.

Seeing him drink the water like he’d never drank water before in his life, Shen Yijia felt her jaw ache.

“Why does this water smell sweet?” Rooster smacked his lips and muttered.

Mo Yuan suddenly walked over and took the initiative to pick up another bowl of water to drink. She said firmly, “You’re wrong. There’s no taste.”

“Is that so?” Rooster smacked his lips. It didn’t seem to be the case. Could it be that he found the water poured by Young Madam especially sweet?

This thought frightened Rooster. He quickly shook his head to shake off this terrifying thought. He scratched his head and smiled. “Indeed, I didn’t.”

Shen Yijia’s nerves tightened, but she heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the two of them say that.

Ah Xun only drank his water silently and tried his best to act obedient in front of Shen Yijia.

It was unknown if it was because Shen Yijia’s luck was too good, but just as they finished eating their rations, the sky suddenly seemed to tear open and heavy rain poured down.

If they hadn’t decided to rest for the night, they would have been drenched by now.

Shen Yijia sat under the eaves and stared blankly at the night sky. Everyone thought that she was worried about Song Jingchen again.

“Young Master will be fine.” Mo Yuan didn’t seem to know how to comfort people. Her tone was dry.

Shen Yijia glanced at her expressionless face and her lips twitched.

Just as they were about to turn around and return to the house, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the night. At the same time, Shen Yijia saw more than ten figures in black with swords in their hands rushing towards them. They were about to reach them.

Rooster walked up to Shen Yijia. “Master, what should we do?”

Although they did not know who these people were, they were obviously here for them.

Shen Yijia tilted her head. “Do we have a choice?”

As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, a sword stabbed at her from the side.

Shen Yijia flew back and dodged. She pulled out the long whip at her waist and wrapped it around the sword. With a strong tug, the owner of the sword pounced on her.

Shen Yijia reached out and grabbed the person’s neck to stop him from moving forward.

She exerted strength with her hand. There was a crack, and the sound of bones breaking was especially clear under the rain.

Ah Xun’s eyes widened in shock. He never expected that the most powerful of the three would be this person he thought was the easiest to deceive.

“Furball, look after him.” Shen Yijia threw the sword she had just snatched from the man in black to Mo Yuan and instructed Furball.

Then, she used a long whip to spread the fire on the ground and swung it around. Sparks licked the dilapidated furniture in the house and instantly lit up the surroundings.

The men in black, who were hiding in the dark, appeared. The three of them faced them together.

Shen Yijia shuttled through the rain of swords with a long whip in her hand. The few of them surrounded her. Shen Yijia jumped up and wrapped the whip around one of their necks, throwing him onto the others.

Only Ah Xun, Furball, and the corpse of the man in black were left in the house.

Ah Xun looked at the battle outside with a worried expression. He thought of something and quickly ran to the man in black’s side. He pulled the black cloth off his face. When he saw the person’s face, his pupils constricted.

There was a moment of silence.

At the same time, Song Jingchen, who was worried sick, did not enter Xunyang. Instead, he sneaked into the Hun army’s camp under the rain with South Wind.

Under the cover of the rain, the two of them quietly approached the commander’s tent.

The Huns attacked Great Xia and gave the reason that Great Xia had sent people to assassinate the previous Chanyu Kedun and his family. A Chanyu was their version of an emperor, and Danyu Kedun was the predecessor of the royal court. Song Jingchen didn’t believe this. In fact, anyone with a brain wouldn’t believe it.

According to his understanding, Chanyu Kedun was quite trusted by the other tribes in terms of strength and ruling methods. That was why the Huns had said that they would avenge him after his death.

And now, his half-brother Mungido, who was the newly appointed Chanyu, was the person who incited this war.
