rustrated sigh and gave the bedboard a hard slap: "Damn it, why didn't I study properly when I was in school"Seeing Wei Jun's regretful expression, Xiao Yu thought to himself that this was probably on...Chapter 446: Return to the Deep Sea

"Esteemed elders, I think there might have been a misunderstanding! We came here to protect you!" Seeing the demeanor of these old men, the black-clothed individuals felt a chill and spoke up.

From their perspective, it seemed that the intentions of these elderly gentlemen were similar to theirs. If this was indeed the case, they certainly did not want to be eliminated for having the same goal. Therefore, upon hearing the elders' inquiries, they hurriedly responded without pausing, fearing that any delay could result in their death.

"Hmm Who sent you" Upon listening to these black-clothed individuals, the elderly men pondered briefly before asking.

In truth, these seniors also believed what the black-clothed ones were saying. Though they trusted them, there was not a shred of relaxation in their hearts.

"The Song Family!" After some thought, one of the black-clothed individuals replied.

Hearing this, the bodies of these elderly men gradually relaxed; knowing that it originated from the Song Family was unlikely to be wrong.

Following this, these seniors released the black-clothed individuals and told them they could leave. However, how dare these black-clothed ones leave The elders knew their identity, but they had no idea who these elderly gentlemen were. If they just went back now... thinking about that possibility made their hearts sink.

"No way! Until we receive further instructions, we won't leave. We'd rather die than retreat!" Upon hearing the suggestion from the elders to leave, how could these people comply Protecting this place was their duty; if they just left because of the old gentlemen, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At that moment, one of these seniors took out a phone and dialed. After connecting briefly, the senior spoke into the phone for a few moments before handing it to one of the black-clothed individuals. The recipient received the call with a puzzled expression.

The voice on the other end was very familiar to them. The person instructed them that they could return now and promptly hung up. After receiving this news, these black-clothed individuals nodded to the elderly gentlemen before vanishing into the night at Beihai Park.

These elderly individuals also emerged from Beihai Park and headed towards a hotel near Xiao Yu's siheyuan.

However, when they passed by the entrance of Xiao Yu's siheyuan, the large door suddenly opened. Xiao Yu stepped out and said, "Old sirs, aren’t you going to sleep so late Why not come in and rest for a while"

The elderly gentlemen were indeed the bodyguards of Xiao Yu’s maternal grandfather. As to why they happened to be here, it was easy to understand. It just happened that Xiao Yu hadn't noticed them before, but now he felt somewhat relieved knowing that his mother and sister would be safe with these men around.

He had been worried about this matter previously. Although there were people like Song Hushan whom he could ask for help to ensure the safety of his family, it was also likely that they might have already arranged protection without him having to request it.

However, those individuals weren't Xiao Yu's own men, and even if they were from Song Hushan’s group, he still felt uneasy about entrusting them with such an important task.

The arrival of these elderly gentlemen completely put his mind at ease. With these seniors around, he believed that no one in the capital city would dare harm his family.

When Xiao Yu opened the door just now, these elderly men paused for a moment and were about to quickly leave but stopped when they heard Xiao Yu’s words.

In fact, from their aura earlier on, Xiao Yu had already sensed who these people were. After they left, he sat cross-legged on the ground in meditation and his yin soul left his body, slightly sensing out where they might be.

Everything that happened inside Beihai Park was witnessed by Xiao Yu's yin soul. So when the elderly gentlemen started walking back, Xiao Yu’s yin soul quickly returned to his body and waited at the door for their arrival.

The seniors were basically all martial artists who had cultivated to the level of Transformation Force. Additionally, due to the adjustment given by Xiao Yu's grandfather in the past, they did not have any hidden injuries in their meridians, so it was possible that they could make further progress. However, with Xiao Yu’s current abilities, he still couldn’t detect where these martial artists were unless he checked them through pulse diagnosis, even if his strength didn't fall short of theirs.

The elderly gentlemen found themselves unable to avoid the encounter and walked over to Xiao Yu. They did not expect that Xiao Yu would be able to discover their presence. This... Since they had been guarding the Xiao family for a long time, they knew that Xiao Yu hadn’t practiced any internal kung fu techniques; so how could he possibly know where they were

Upon thinking of this, the few people looked around to see if there were any surveillance facilities nearby. However, after looking around, apart from a camera at the hotel entrance not far away, there was nothing here that could indicate how Xiao Yu knew they had come.

As Xiantian martial artists themselves, they naturally sensed no internal energy fluctuations coming from Xiao Yu’s body. Such a situation would either mean that Xiao Yu had no internal energy within his body or that the depth of his internal energy was beyond their ability to measure.

But was this possible How old was Xiao Yu, and besides, they had heard the veteran elder leader mention before that he only wished for Xiao Yu to live a peaceful life. Therefore, apart from encouraging him to exercise regularly, he didn't teach him any methods of cultivating internal energy, leaving them filled with doubts.

Although they were full of questions and doubts, their speed did not decrease as a result. They quickened their pace and headed towards Xiao Yu’s quadrangle courtyard residence.

In the room at the entrance gate, this room was already finished, so temporarily, Xiao Yu resided here.

Xiao Yu learned from the few elders’ accounts that upon Xiao Jianying and company leaving, these elders immediately received news. As such, they packed up simply before heading to the train station to take the same train as Xiao Jianying’s group into the capital city.

After waiting for Xiao Jianying and company to settle in their accommodation, they all checked into nearby hotels to secretly protect their safety. Tonight, when they saw a few suspiciously sneaky black-garbed individuals appearing near Xiao Yu's quadrangle courtyard residence and hotel, they immediately acted and subdued them.

And it was precisely this momentary action that allowed Xiao Yu to discover their presence; otherwise, with their identities as Xiantian peak martial artists, it would be rather difficult for others to notice them.

As for those few black-garbed individuals, these elders had sensed them the moment they arrived. However, due to their distance from each other, they hadn’t taken it seriously until tonight when they caught them as they approached at night.

Xiao Yu looked at the few elderly individuals with a heart full of hidden gratitude and happiness. He was just considering what he should do after leaving the capital city—how would his mother’s safety be protected After all, it seemed rather empty for only two people to guard such a large quadrangle courtyard.

Xiao Yu informed the few elders about Xiao Jianying and company settling in the capital city temporarily. Then, he discussed with them the security issues of this place after his departure. At the same time, Xiao Yu told them that the front yard would be left empty for these elders and their families to reside in; it was just that such a large courtyard appeared somewhat desolate without several people around.

Moreover, these elders could also bring their spouses and grandchildren to Beijing for schooling. As mentioned before, the education in Beijing is top-notch nationwide.

After hearing Xiao Yu's proposal, they decided that only they would move to protect the safety of the Xiao family members. After all, they were originally bodyguards of Old Grandpa Xiao; it was impossible for them not to care about the Xiao family. Although they knew that even if they didn't take charge now, no one would hold it against them, they did not think so. In their hearts, since the day they followed Senior Grandpa Xiao's father-in-law, their lives belonged to the Xiao family.

Under Xiao Yu's persuasion and explanation of the situation, these elders agreed. And when they learned that Xiao Yu planned to hire a few maids and work together with Xiao Jianying to manage the house, these elders smiled; they knew there were idle women in their families who could come over to help.

This way, everyone would be at ease using them. Furthermore, after bringing the children here for schooling, someone would take care of them. The only drawback was that it would break the tranquility of the siheyuan.

When Xiao Yu heard this, he promptly agreed. This siheyuan covered several thousand square meters; living space wouldn't be a problem even if more people moved in. Moreover, with such a large courtyard, having fewer people around wouldn't bring much vitality to it. Besides, the three courtyards could accommodate everyone comfortably.

When Song Old Grandpa and Li Suijun learned that all these guards would move here as well, they finally felt relieved. With several Internal Force experts around, no one could harm Xiao family members. Therefore, they made some phone calls.

In less than five minutes, over fifty young men gradually withdrew from nearby hotels and residences near the siheyuan. These people were all agile and capable; they had been arranged to protect the Xiao family, but with these guards around now, their roles became redundant, so they called them back.

On the left wall of the siheyuan's entrance gate, Xiao Yu built several garages, while on the right side was a row of rooms where he planned to open a clinic for his mother to pass her time and also lay down the groundwork for Wan Sheng Hall to enter Beijing.

When Xiao Yu returned to the Deep Sea, the house had been mostly renovated. His mother and these elders had already moved from hotels into the siheyuan. Opening the clinic, he asked Uncle Yue for assistance.

To set up a branch of Wan Sheng Hall in Beijing naturally delighted Uncle Yue; although currently only Xiao Jianying was here to practice medicine, his medical skills wouldn't be subpar either.

Xiao Yu originally wanted to stay in Beijing for a few more days, but the Deep Sea's Wan Sheng Hall was rather busy now. Today was one of their regular member consultation days, which kept Xiao Hongyang very occupied. Additionally, Elder Dai had gone to the Deep Sea too. So after making some arrangements, he left Beijing.eing how clean and efficient Xiao Yu had killed those dozen men without hesitation made him believe that Xiao Yu must not be from the righteous path.If someone who was righteous could kill so many peo...
