Chapter 72: Mrs. Lei!

  "Hide here, don't move, wait for me." Xiao Hong said to Mu Xi'er, then reactivated the Shadow Strike War Pattern, put on his mask, and once again charged into the battlefield amidst the flames of war.

  It's okay, not far away, just two seconds later, Xiao Hong grabbed Lei Xiaoting's hand and hugged her in his arms. Just as he was about to flash away, he found that Lei Xiaoting's mother was still in the broken magic car, with a streak of blood on her head and one foot stuck under a shattered fiberboard, with blood stains on her ankle.

  "Mrs. Lei?" Xiao Hong exclaimed at this scene.

  "No matter who you are, don't bother me, take my daughter away from here, quickly." Mrs. Lei's words were unusually resolute, as if she had already steeled herself for death.

  Since he chose to take the risk, Xiao Hong decided to see it through to the end. He stretched out his hand and pulled open the tattered car door, then manipulated his energy to create a sharp blade-like protrusion on his index finger. With a swift motion, he cut away the fiberboard that was stuck to Leifeng's ankle, then grabbed Leifeng and hugged Lei Xiaoting as they sprinted towards the small alleyway.

  However, just as he was on his way, Xiao Hong suddenly discovered that a man with red eyes, of unknown identity, was rushing towards him. Apparently unable to defeat the soldiers, he had come to take out his frustrations on Xiao Hong.

  The problem is that Xiao Hong is now holding one arm around Lei Xiaoting and pulling Lei's wife with the other, unable to free up his hands for a counterattack. The only technique that doesn't require both hands, Tiger Tooth Battle Seal, has already been disabled.

  Bang.

  Just as Xiao Hong was thinking about how to counterattack, a soldier suddenly appeared beside him, with his arm pointing out a cone-shaped energy body that directly pierced the mysterious person's chest.

  From this alone, Xiao Hong can roughly determine that this should be the power of a Rider-class Magic Circuit. In fact, this person is actually Babu, but now he's wearing a mask.

  "Scram! Don't stay here any longer." Babu instructed Xiao Hong.

  This doesn't need to be said by Babu, Xiao Hong naturally also knows that three steps and two steps later, he rushed into the depths of the alley again, then quickly took Mu Xi'er with him into the depths of the alley. Firstly, it's relatively safe here, secondly, Xiao Hong is really worried that if he sees someone who needs help again, he'll have to take risks, helping would put himself in danger, not helping would make his conscience uneasy, so he might as well do an "out of sight, out of mind".

  "Thank you for saving me and my daughter, what's your name?" Mrs. Lei asked Xiao Hong, who was covering his face with a cloth, her words filled with endless gratitude.

  "My name is Xiao Hong, Mrs. Lei." Xiao Hong took off his mask and replied, this layer of identity, in Xiao Hong's view, had nothing to hide, then stretched out his hand and removed the black cloth that covered half of his face.

  Xiao Hong, Mrs. Lei didn't know him at all and couldn't associate this seemingly ordinary young man with the famous Quan Cang. As for Xiao Hong knowing her name, it wasn't unexpected either, after all, she often showed up in Tai Wu City.

  At the same time, Mrs. Lei, who had slightly come back to her senses, also noticed a woman standing behind Xiao Hong, Mu Xi'er.

  For Muxi'er, Mrs. Lei naturally knew her and was even quite familiar with her.

  "Brook, you're here too?" Mrs. Lei asked with some surprise.

  "Yes, Aunt Lei, just now Xiao Hong also saved me." Mu Xi'er replied cleverly.

  "And you and Xiao Hong are..." Mrs. Lei asked tentatively, with a feeling that in this special situation, the two of them seemed to be very close, which was not surprising, as women were born to rely on others, and at present, the only one who could be relied upon, the only one with fighting power, was Xiao Hong.

  "Friend, good friend." Muxi'er didn't know how to describe their relationship and could only put it that way.

  At this time, Xiao Hong had already slightly squatted down to examine the injury of Lord Lief, which was also his instinct as a pharmacist for a long time, seeing an injury and wanting to treat it.

  "Although the wound is quite deep, fortunately it didn't hit the tendon and bone." Xiao Hong said to Mrs. Lei, then carefully helped her sit on the ground, placing her long legs on his knees, after retracting the Shadow Strike and Ink Endurance tattoos, he took out the Healing tattoo and began to carefully treat Mrs. Lei's wound.

  Leaning against the wall, Mrs. Lei saw Xiao Hong carefully driving the healing tattoo to treat herself, and her good impression of Xiao Hong rose sharply.

  It can be said that if there was no Xiao Hong today, Madame Lei could imagine the consequences that would follow, and neither she nor her daughter would be able to escape this disaster.

  "Huh, Xiao Hong, when you applied the medicine, why did you retract your auxiliary magic tattoo? Wouldn't it be more effective to use them together?" Mu Xi'er asked with a hint of confusion after seeing Xiao Hong retract Mo Nai, although she wasn't an expert in magic tattoos, she had seen data on Mo Nai's auxiliary tattoos during competitions.

  Xiao Hong couldn't help but pause upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "Why take it back? Wouldn't it be better to keep it together? After all, the tattoo is permanent anyway, what's there to fear?"

  Having such an idea, Xiao Hong suddenly couldn't help but give himself a big slap in the face. Such a simple and idiotic question, how did he not think of it before? As for the reason, Xiao Hong also understood that although Mo Nai was an auxiliary magic pattern, he had subconsciously treated it as a combat pattern, and sometimes even neglected its permanent nature.

  I've been complaining that I don't have enough energy, but the way to save energy is right in front of me, yet I keep ignoring it, how stupid.

  If it weren't for Muxi'er's unintentional reminder today, I wouldn't have figured out this method until who knows when. Indeed, even with a hundred precautions, there can still be one mistake.

  With this judgment, Xiao Hong didn't insist on saving face and randomly drove Mo Nai again, adding the gain state to himself. As a result, the control power began to have obvious savings, more importantly, the healing effect also had a certain enhancement.

  In just a few short minutes, Mrs. Lei's injured area was fully restored, and only a faint scar remained on her ankle.

  Xiao Hong took another look and saw that Mrs. Lei's forehead wound was quite large, but it was just a scrape and could be easily treated. However, there were some dust stains on top of it.

  "Mrs. Lei, the wound on your forehead, I can't clean it up temporarily because I don't have the tools to clean your forehead wound, so I suggest you follow me back to my pharmacy for treatment." Xiao Hong proposed, which was also considering the patient.

  "Alright." Mrs. Lei nodded without hesitation, still feeling grateful that Xiao Hong had saved her and her daughter's lives before. Although she was still somewhat unfamiliar with Xiao Hong, she trusted him completely.

  With Mu Xi'er carefully helping Mrs. Lei up, Xiao Hong took another look at the street on one side of the alley, the battle was still ongoing, however, Xiao Hong also knew that with his current strength, he couldn't change anything, and there was no need to intervene again, so Xiao Hong carried Lei Xiao Ting, and Mrs. Lei, supported by Mu Xi'er, walked in the opposite direction.

  Along the alley came to another street, now here has been filled with security guards and a large number of bolder civilians.

  Xiao Hong, seeing this scene, remained expressionless and casually covered Muci's face with his black cloth strip. He also knew that as a public figure, Muci was better off keeping a low profile, and it would be best to minimize her exposure at this time, thereby reducing his own chances of being caught on camera.

  Although Xiao Hong performed extremely well in the arena, overall he is still relatively low-key and does not want to be pushed to the forefront because of this matter, with a large number of media following him every day, Xiao Hong can't do anything else.

  Xiao Hong covered his face with a cloth strip, and Mu Xi naturally understood what it meant. For a moment, he was even more grateful for Xiao Hong's thoughtfulness.

  Because of this, having already made contact through the communication talisman, after walking a certain distance on the street, Ren Xiang's talisman car had stopped by the side of the road. Not far away was an assistant who had temporarily found an somewhat old-fashioned talisman car.

  Seeing the assistant standing respectfully beside the magic car, Muxi'er knew that the time of parting was about to arrive.

  "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for saving my life just now," Jiang Yun said gratefully. Seeing Xiao Hong walking towards them, the assistant hastily stepped forward and respectfully said, "If it weren't for Mr. Xiao's timely kick earlier, I know that would have been a fatal blow."

  "No need to be polite, it's just a small favor. Next, I'll trouble you to send Muxi back home." Xiao Hong responded with a calm expression.

  Without much ado, after a simple farewell, Muxi'er walked towards the slightly worn-out magic car under Jiang Yun's guidance, while Xiao Hong took Lei Furen and headed in the direction of Ren Xiang.

  But at this moment, Muxi'er slightly turned her head, gently waved her hand to Xiao Hong, revealing a sweet smile, and Xiao Hong also smiled and nodded.

  With this, Xiao Hong has thoroughly left a mark in Muxi'er's mind.

  Mrs. Lei, who was standing beside them, could naturally see the reflection between Xiao Hong and Mu Xi'er, but she didn't say much, just smiled lightly.

  Because she had already heard Mu Xi'er say it before, Xiao Hong gave up a war pattern to save her, and his tone was full of guilt. As someone who had been through this before, Mrs. Lei knew that once a woman felt strong guilt towards a man and found great safety in him, the woman would be "in danger".

  Xiao Hong's actions just now seemed to have both of these qualities, but unfortunately the two people's identities are somewhat different, and it will be difficult for them to interact in the future, otherwise... who knows.

  "Madam Lei, get on the carriage." Seeing Mu Xi'er's magic carriage disappear into the distance, Xiao Hong made a polite gesture to Madam Lei, indicating for her to board Ren Xiang's magic carriage.

  Ren Xiang, who was standing beside him, also noticed Mrs. Lei and couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. Since his father had dealings with the Zelei family, he was well aware that Mrs. Lei still held considerable power within the Zelei family, although she always remained behind the scenes. However, whenever the Zelei family made any major moves, Mrs. Lei's presence was never absent.
