"Then… what will happen to Luo Luo?" Li Manman asked worriedly.
"I don't know either," the Sixth Elder replied with complete honesty.
Li Manman: "…"
'You're now our main pillar of support, oh great elder. So can you please not say those three words, "I don't know"? How could a person with such virtue and prestige say something that would cause the hearts of others to tremble in nervousness?'"However…" the Sixth Elder said, making a U-turn yet again, "A mysterious power has suddenly appeared in that lass's body. When she wakes up, her strength might increase drastically."
"Huh? Didn't you say that you didn't know anything?" Li Manman felt as though she was being teased.
"This old man doesn't know what the deal is with the power in her body," the Sixth Elder stated matter-of-factly. "When that power fuses with her own power, Su-lass will be up and jumping again."
So that is the case! Everyone proceeded to let out sighs of relief.
"Then when will Luo Luo wake up?"
"Considering the speed of the fusion, it will be within a month," the Sixth Elder gave a firm response.
At this point in time, they still did not know that danger was heading their way.The night was as silent as a tranquil lake.
The Sixth Elder continued to make deductions with his alchemic ways. His entire mind was focused on calculating, researching, and doing everything seriously and meticulously.
Having kept watch for several days and nights, Li Manman had already reached peak exhaustion. Her head drooped bit by bit, and she dozed off.
Su Luo still lay on the warm jade bed with her hands crossed over her abdomen. Her sleep seemed peaceful.
Hazy moonlight shone through the window, slightly blurring the entire scene.
Suddenly, a black shadow darted across the city and disappeared into the darkness.
It soundlessly pushed open the window.
Just as he had done so, the Sixth Elder shouted out loudly, "Who's there?"
As he shouted, he stood up abruptly before racing towards the window.
Ordinarily, upon being discovered, the dark figure would have fled as quickly as possible. However, right at this instant, the person decided not to run away! Instead, he turned around and sent a fist towards the Sixth Elder!
The Sixth Elder had no way of dodging!
If he had evaded the attack, its momentum and power would have landed squarely onto Su Luo on the bed!
Thus, the Sixth Elder instantly made a seal with his hands, blocking the incoming fist and sending back all of its power!
At the same time, the Sixth Elder leaped forward, and without any hesitation, he retaliated against the black-clothed person!
The Sixth Elder understood very clearly that his opponent was extremely powerful. If he did not take the latter down, there would be endless troubles to face in the future.
Currently, Su Luo was in the process of fusing her power and had to be left undisturbed, so the fight could not continue here. Therefore, the Sixth Elder immediately proceeded to lure the stranger away.
The two of them eventually created some distance from Su Luo.
When Li Manman got up after being awakened by the sounds of fighting, the Sixth Elder and the black-clothed person had already left.
"Sixth Elder?!" Li Manman exclaimed.
Seeing the half-written piece of paper on the table and looking back at the opened window, how could Li Manman not understand the situation?
This left her brimming with worry.
Exactly how strong was that person to be able to force the Sixth Elder to leave? That person shouldn't be another elder, right?
Looking at the hazy night sky, a very strong sense of unease suddenly surged through Li Manman.
She unconsciously decided to close the window. But before she could walk over, she heard chilling laughter ring out.
In the next instant, she felt pain run through her neck, then her vision blacked out. Staggering about, she lost consciousness and collapsed onto the ground.
In the room…
Li Manman was sprawled on the ground, not moving an inch.
Su Luo remained in a peaceful slumber on the bed, completely unaware about the impending danger.
The man in black let off a sneer.
