Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City

Chapter 1395 1300: You Are the Zhu Family's Last Ember! Live Well!

"Why are these two people here?"

Zhu Qilue still tried to maintain his composure, but his eyes were flickering with fear.

If he hadn't been injured, perhaps he could have escaped unharmed.

But now, he was severely wounded, carrying the unconscious Divine Phoenix, and unsure if Zhu Sui was willing to go with them.

He couldn't help but scratch the back of his head, his voice trembling.

"They definitely heard about Gong Wenya's incident, intending to control me first and then force you to show yourselves. After all, now that Gong Wenya's fate is uncertain, I'm the highest-ranking person in the entire Fire Clan. Naturally, they don't want me to seize power, so they plan to silence me before I do."

Zhu Sui was quite clear-headed now, but he still had no intention of seizing power.

Because not only would it risk his own life, it would also endanger Zhu Qilue and Zhu Ruoling.

"Dad, why don't we just go all the way and directly..."

"No!"

Before Zhu Qilue could finish, Zhu Sui interrupted him bluntly.

"Not to mention you're severely injured now, even if you were perfectly fine, you're no match for those two. Lu Bai's cultivation realm is immensely high, comparable to Xu Tianrui among the five Great Elders. And Xiao Qiwen is even more insidious and vicious; when he goes crazy, he even deceives himself. You're just a fledgling brat, you're no match for him."

"Then what should we do? We can't just sit and wait for death!"

This won't work, that won't work either. Zhu Qilue was frustrated, seeing the two Elders about to barge into the room. If they didn't act now, wouldn't they be caught in one fell swoop?

Zhu Sui was silent for a second.

"You two, leave here quickly."

He shoved Zhu Qilue back, pointed to the rear door they came from, and said gravely.

"Leave?"

Zhu Qilue and Zhu Ruoling exclaimed in unison, surprised.

"Is there any better way? Are you waiting for them to come in and catch us all in one sweep?"

"But..."

"There's no 'but' anymore, time is running out, leave quickly! Don't let them catch up!"

"Dad..."

"Hurry!"

Footsteps were already sounding, quickly approaching the room, leaving little time for indecision or consideration.

If Lu Bai and Xiao Qiwen opened the door to see Zhu Qilue and Zhu Ruoling, they certainly wouldn't let them leave.

Just those two were enough to give Zhu Qilue and Zhu Ruoling a hard time, let alone thousands of the Red Cloud Army. If surrounded, escaping would be nearly impossible.

"Dad, come with us."

"I must stay here to hold them off, you two, leave quickly."

"..."

"Qilue, your father's old, lacking drive, just a wasted life. But you're different, you're young, with many possibilities. If you survive, don't live a wasted life like me... Protect your sister, go."

Zhu Sui kept pushing Zhu Qilue and Zhu Ruoling out, incessantly nagging like a father's last words.

Zhu Ruoling was already crying her heart out, refusing to leave no matter what.

Zhu Qilue also held back tears, his eyes twitching fiercely, his jaw trembling intensely.

"Go, preserve the Zhu Family's last hope."

With one final push, Zhu Sui used a commanding tone to urge Zhu Qilue and Zhu Ruoling to leave immediately.

Zhu Ruoling still didn't want to leave, intending to go back to Zhu Sui, but was stopped by Zhu Qilue.

"Dad, I understand, I'll take care of my sister. You have to live, we'll come back for you. Dad, take care."

Zhu Qilue gritted his teeth, his voice choking with emotion.

At this moment, footsteps had already reached outside the door, stopping at the doorway.

"Clan Leader Zhu, are you inside? We'd like to disturb you, is it convenient for you?"

Zhu Sui's face turned extremely grim, his eyes flickering with sharp coldness, a ferocity he hadn't shown in centuries. He glared fiercely at Zhu Qilue and gestured toward the back door.

But he didn't immediately reply to the voice outside.

Xiao Qiwen immediately sensed something amiss, whispered to the person beside him, "Go check if there's a back door here."

Even though he had tried his best to lower his voice, Zhu Sui and Zhu Qilue heard it clearly, breaking out in a cold sweat.

No wonder it's Xiao Qiwen, he hit the mark immediately!

So.

Even if Zhu Qilue didn't want to leave, he had to go now, unable to delay any longer.

He took a deep breath, nodded at Zhu Sui, gave him a determined look, carried the Divine Phoenix on his shoulders, and supported Zhu Ruoling with his left hand, hurriedly rushing toward the rear door.

As he watched Zhu Qilue and Zhu Ruoling disappear around the corner, a tear quietly slipped from Zhu Sui's eye.

Because he didn't know if there would be a chance to meet again in the future.

Didn't know if this farewell would be the final farewell.

But he quickly adjusted his emotions, wiped away the tear, took a deep breath, and roared.

"Here!"

Just as the words were spoken.

Bam!

Lu Bai, already impatient, charged in restlessly even if Zhu Sui hadn't replied.

Xiao Qiwen didn't stop Lu Bai either, understanding his impulsive nature well enough, knowing it couldn't be halted.

Lu Bai stormed into the room with bloodthirsty intent, scanned the surroundings once, his gaze finally landing on Zhu Sui.

"Search thoroughly!"

He looked provocatively at Zhu Sui, waving to his subordinates with a loud yell.

"Yes!"

Behind him, the Red Cloud Army surged in like a tide, turning the room upside down in Zhu Sui's presence, showing no respect for the Clan Leader.

Zhu Sui didn't stop them since they already disregarded him, speaking up would be pointless and only invite ridicule, so he shut up to see what they could find.

Zhu Qilue and Zhu Ruoling had already left, the only soft spots in his heart, leaving him fearless now.

"Report! Nothing found!"

"Report! Nothing found!"

...

Soon, the search inside the room concluded, but they didn't find anything valuable.

Zhu Sui sneered coldly, "Elder Lu, I wonder what exactly you're searching for in my room? Seems you haven't searched this vase, want to take a look? Oh, by the way, this place can't hide anyone."

Lu Bai's face darkened, turning extremely unsightly. He had hoped to find a Zhu Family member or two, especially the siblings Zhu Qilue and Zhu Ruoling.

These two had vanished completely, like evaporating from the Human World.

"Clan Leader Zhu, many apologies, but please understand we're just carrying out our duties. Have you seen young master Zhu Qilue or Miss Zhu Ruoling?"

"None of your business. Why are you looking for them?"

Zhu Sui glared, shouting angrily. He had to delay these people, giving Zhu Qilue and Zhu Ruoling enough time to escape the Fire Clan.

So, he had to confront Lu Bai, completely angering him.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't speak to Lu Bai this way.

Xiao Qiwen entered the room without a word, coldly scanning around, seemingly confirming no one else was present, and turned his gaze to Zhu Sui.

Seeing Zhu Sui's attitude so unusually emotional, he felt something was amiss.

He furrowed his brow, ignoring Lu Bai and Zhu Sui's quarrel, and looked toward the back door, although he didn't know it was the back door, merely finding it odd.

Just as he was puzzled.

Bam!

Someone suddenly burst through the back door, it was the soldier he had just sent.

"Elder Xiao, you were right, there's indeed a back door here!"
