After dinner, Ximen Chuixue greeted his father and returned to his bedroom. He sat cross-legged on his bed and began to visualize the sword technique of the Sword God in his mind.
However, just as he started visualizing the sword technique, Ximen Chuixue's phone rang.
He frowned slightly. Although he didn't like to be interrupted, he knew his phone number. After all, there were no outsiders, so he took the phone and found that the person who called him was Peter.
"Hello, Peter. Why are you calling me at this hour?”Ximen Chuixue asked.
"Ximen, are you free? If you're free, why don't you come out and accompany me?”Peter seemed to be trying his best to make his voice calm, but Ximen Chuixue was still very keen to find a trace of disappointment in her voice.
"Where are you?" Ximen Chuixue frowned. If there were no other changes in Peter's voice, Ximen Chuixue might not care. However, since something seemed to have happened to Peter, Ximen Chuixue naturally could not abandon her friend.
" I'm at..." Peter said where he was.
After hanging up the phone, he put his sword in a cloth cover and carried it on his back. Then, he walked out. As for his sword, ever since he had forged it, Ximen Chuixue had been by his side at all times. Even when he slept, he would put it beside his pillow. The treatment that this sword received even made Ximen Chuixue's girlfriend, Gwen, feel jealous.
"Little Xue? What are you doing so late at night? Are you going on a date with your girlfriend? Hehe, my son has indeed grown up!”Ximen Qing was sitting in the living room watching television. When he saw Ximen Chuixue walking out, he laughed and teased her.
"I'm going out for a while! As for when he would return, there was no exact time!”Ximen Chuiwan frowned slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing across his brows.
"Go, go! Just don't take protective measures and don't kill anyone! You know, you're only a high school student now!”Ximen Qing waved his hand and said to Ximen Chuixue with a mocking expression.
Ignoring his father, Ximen Chuixue hailed a taxi and headed to the address Peter had given him over the phone.
"Peter! Where are you? Peter!"
Ximen Chuixue had just gotten out of the car when she heard someone calling Peter. She couldn't help but be slightly stunned. She turned her head and saw an old man walking on the street with helplessness and concern between his brows. At the same time, he kept shouting Peter's name.
Ximen Chuixue immediately recognized the old man as Peter's uncle, Ben Parker.
"Did Peter run away from home?”Ximen Chuixue frowned slightly. He looked at Ben, who was constantly looking for Peter. After thinking about it, he decided not to tell Ben about Peter's whereabouts. After all, Ximen Chuixue still did not understand what had happened.
Just as Peter was about to turn around and leave, a guy with a pistol, a purse and a box of beer suddenly ran quickly. Behind him was a fat man shouting," Thief!"
Just as Ximen Chuixue was about to stop the thief, someone had already made a move before Ximen Chuixue did. It was Peter's uncle, Ben. Because the thief was accidentally knocked down, the gun in his hand fell to the ground. Then, he and the thief fought for the gun.
Ximen Chuixue could clearly see that the safety lock of the gun had already been unlocked. The gun was held in the thief's hand, and the muzzle was pointed at Ben. However, Ben was still holding on to the gun and refused to let go.
Upon seeing this, Ximen Chuixue's expression changed. Without thinking, he drew his sword from his back and used his sword technique. Ximen Chuixue's sword was extremely fast, so fast that it was unbelievable.
However, just as Ximen Chuixue's sword touched the thief's wrist, a gunshot rang out. Then Ben fell. At the same time, the thief's wrist was pierced by Ximen Chuixue's sword.
"Uncle! How are you? How do you feel?" Ximen Chuixue's expression changed. He could no longer care about the thief and quickly went to help Ben.
Ben was clutching his lower abdomen as blood flowed out from the gaps in his hands."Th-thank you, child! I should be fine.”
Ximen Chuixue's attack had caused the muzzle to deviate slightly. Although he had been hit in the abdomen, the wound was not fatal.
"I'll call the ambulance!" Ximen Chuixue quickly dialed the emergency number.
At this time, Peter also ran over quickly from the side with a bottle of milk products in his hand. Because the place he and Ximen Chuixue had agreed to meet was nearby, when he found out that something had happened to Ben, he had rushed over.
"Uncle, oh uncle! You, are you alright?" Peter's eyes were red. He had lost his parents when he was young and had been living and growing up with Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei. Peter had long treated the two of them as his only family.
"Peter, I-I'm fine! " But, but you have to remember, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility..." Ben trembled as he preached to Peter. He had to admit that he was indeed a qualified uncle. Under such circumstances, he still did not forget to educate his nephew.
"Yes, uncle, I'll remember!" Peter lowered his head in shame. He remembered that he had begun to indulge himself recently because he had obtained extraordinary power. He even relied on this extraordinary ability to bully others, even though those people had bullied him in the past.
Soon, the ambulance arrived and Ben was sent to the hospital. Just like what Ben had said, the shot didn't cause him any fatal injuries.
However, Ben was quite old, so it would take a long time for him to recover.
Then, the police arrived with a portrait of the criminal who fired the gun. After seeing the portrait, Peter fell into endless frustration.
"Ximen, thank you, thank you. If it wasn't for you, my uncle would have…Thank you so much!”Peter finally remembered to thank Ximen Chuixue.
"No need to thank me. It was just a coincidence. What about you? Are you alright? Did you have a conflict with your family?" Ximen Chuixue asked Peter.
"I, I am a bastard!" As he spoke, Peter hugged his head in frustration again and slowly squatted down against the wall.
