Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 33 A quick-witted lie
The person who came had white hair like snow and fluttering purple clothes. Who else could it be except Wu Su, the great elder of the Shamo tribe?
It turned out that in order to prevent Wu Su from causing trouble, Shen Fei had destroyed his alchemy pot from the outside, ruining his alchemy plan, and then took the risk of sucking Wu Su in as well! He didn't dare say that he was Wu Su's opponent from the outside, but if Wu Su was sucked into the pot as well, it would be hard to say who would win. After all, he, Shen Fei, was the local boss here, occupying the advantage of time and place.
Shen Fei naturally understood the consequences of doing so. He had also heard a little about the temper of Great Elder Wusu, so he cleverly disappeared in his thatched hut in an instant, leaving the mess to Yinglili to clean up. Before entering, he glanced at Yinglili seemingly unintentionally, and Yinglili gave him a knowing look in return.
Wu Su, who was suddenly sucked into the pot, looked around cautiously at first, and seemed to quickly realize his current situation. His gaze, like ice, fell on the thatched cottage not far away, and he shouted angrily: "Shen Fei, what are you doing! Get out here!"
Shen Fei in the thatched cottage pretended to be deaf and dumb, refusing to respond and not running out foolishly.
Wu Su looked around and after he roughly understood what was going on, his gaze quickly fell on Ping Lili, who was looking at him timidly with a slightly frightened expression not far away. His eyes were filled with complex emotions.
Ping Lili's heart trembled, knowing that she would have to face him sooner or later. She would be killed in the same blow whether she showed her head or shrank back. She took a deep breath and walked towards Wu Su, a look of surprise on her face. "Brother Wu Su? Why are you here too?"
When Wu Su heard Gong Lili's gentle call, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. His face was as tense as an iceberg. He snorted coldly: "You still remember my senior brother?"
Of course, Yinglili knew what he was referring to. He must be angry about the fact that he had bypassed the Shamo army and sneaked into the palace. Although everyone knew this, pretending to be innocent and stupid has always been Yinglili's unique skill. Since the other party did not point it out, relying on his thick skin, Yinglili decided to deny it.
She remained calm and composed as she spoke in a panic, a lie she herself didn't believe. A flattering smile was plastered on her face, and her voice was deliberately made extremely sweet and soft. "Brother, you're not angry about this, are you? I didn't mean to do that. You know, I don't like that kind of pomp and circumstance."
As she spoke, she blinked her eyes and pretended to be extremely innocent. She pinched her thigh hard with her bare fingers, forcing out a few tears.
Even though Wu Su knew that the woman in front of him was cunning and no longer the innocent little sister Yao Ji from that day, facing that pretty face that was exactly the same as Yao Ji's and such a pitiful look, no matter how angry he was, he gradually suppressed it.
He stood with his hands behind his back, staring at Ping Lili for a long while with a piercing gaze, his face as solemn as a mountain: "Follow me back to Shamo City!"
The tone was firm and could not be refused.
Yinglili's heart sank, knowing that she couldn't escape this time. If she was taken back by him like this, all her plans would be disrupted, not to mention solving the problem of Yao Ji. Yinglili knew very well about Wu Su's feelings for Yao Ji, and Yinglili believed that this man would definitely use all means to let Yao Ji replace him.
This is naturally something that Ying Lili cannot accept.
If Yan Xiaoxiao could return to the hall safely in three days, she should be able to bring Mo Yi and the others to rescue her, right? Thinking of the cinnabar mole she had left on Mo Yi's palm, Yan Lili suddenly felt reassured. She believed that as long as she could hold Senior Brother Wu Su back here, Mo Yi would definitely be able to find her.
Moreover, her previous agreement with Shen Fei was that before Shen Fei finished refining the elixir, she would find a way to keep Senior Brother Wu Su in the elixir pot no matter what!
As he was thinking like this, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he got it!
She took a deep breath in her heart, raised her pretty little face, and said to Wu Su in a mysterious tone: "Brother, I won't hide it from you now. In fact, the reason I came to the Shen family this time was to find a big gift for you."
Wu Su stared at her in confusion for a long time without saying anything, and used silence to signal her to continue. He knew clearly what she was up to, but for some reason, he had a strange feeling in his heart that made him unable to expose her immediately.
"Brother, do you know what kind of elixir Shen Fei is refining in there right now?" Gong Lili still hated Shen Fei for dragging her into this mess, so she naturally couldn't let him stay out of it. Moreover, thinking of the relationship between Wu Su and Yao Ji, she made up her mind to tell another outrageous lie.
Pretending to be mysterious, she quietly approached Wu Su and said word by word, "It's a drug that can restore youth!"
When Wu Su heard this, his eyelids twitched slightly. Ying Lili quickly read the look of surprise in his eyes and was overjoyed, knowing that he had made the right bet.
Shen Fei, who was nervously guarding his precious alchemy furnace in the thatched cottage and eavesdropping on the conversation between Gong Lili and Wu Su outside, almost dislocated his jaw.
Before, he had taken the initiative to suck Wu Su into the alchemy pot in order to prevent Wu Su from causing damage outside. Although his alchemy pot was extremely sturdy, he did not dare to take the risk given Wu Su's strength. If Wu Su used any killer move in his eagerness to save people, it would be a waste of time.
That's why he took the risk and simply sucked Wu Su in with him. If Wu Su stayed inside the Danhu, his strength would be greatly reduced, and if a fight really came to a head, he wouldn't necessarily suffer much. Furthermore, Shen Fei, who always wanted to create chaos in the world, found the relationship between the two very interesting and wanted to take the opportunity to laugh at Wu Su's joke, but he didn't expect to end up shooting himself in the foot!
He had never expected Gong Lili to tell such a huge lie, saying that he was refining a drug to rejuvenate people! What a joke! He, Shen Fei, was still in the prime of his life, so why would he refine something like that?
However, he could not rush out to refute immediately, as that would make Wu Su more certain that he was guilty, and he would probably believe it even more. He would never be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River. If he caused Wu Su to spy on the pills he was refining, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
Moreover, even if the truth comes out in the end, if Wu Su gets inspired and really asks me to make him some medicine to rejuvenate him, where can I get it?
The so-called beauty is really a disaster. Shen Fei has a deep understanding of this at this time.
At this time, Wu Su narrowed his eyes, his gaze wandering between the thatched cottage and Gong Lili, but he looked mysterious.
He was not a naive boy who would so easily believe what Gong Lili had just said about finding a gift for him. However, the medicine for rejuvenation that Gong Lili had just mentioned did arouse his interest. You know, in order to allow Yao Ji to be reborn, Wu Su exhausted his spiritual power and struggled for five hundred years. He looked very old. Now Yao Ji was reincarnated again. Although they still looked like two people, it was not difficult for him to combine Yao Ji's soul and body into one. In his mind, Yao Ji's resurrection was only a matter of time. However, his own appearance was indeed an indescribable knot in Wu Su's heart.
That damn guy Mo Yi actually gained eternal life and still looks the same as he did back then; although Long Yu has passed these five hundred years, he has transformed from a green boy into a majestic man!
But looking at himself, with white hair, wrinkles all over his face, and looking very old, how could Wu Su not feel resentful at this stark contrast?
If Shen Fei could really make a rejuvenating elixir... it would be a great joy for Wu Su, but I wonder if the Shen family kid would be so generous...
Thinking of this, Wu Su's eyes suddenly cooled down, revealing a bit of coldness. If Shen Fei could really refine that medicine, it would be not up to him to give it to him or not!
Ping Lili had been carefully observing Wu Su's expression. The strange light in Wu Su's eyes before made her believe that Wu Su must be concerned about the elixir of rejuvenation. It was obvious that if he wanted to resurrect Yao Ji, she would be in such an awkward situation. Although it was a bit unfair to Shen Fei, according to Shen Fei's previous plan, he only wanted her to find a way to temporarily trap Senior Brother Wu Su in the pot until he finished refining the elixir and reopened the pot. Therefore, it seemed that her doing this was not a breach of contract.
But at this moment, Wu Su suddenly looked at Gong Lili intently and said lightly, "You've changed."
Changed? Ping Lili was slightly startled, not knowing why Senior Brother Wu Su suddenly said such a thing. Was he talking about his own temperament? Yao Ji and he were originally two different people, so naturally their temperaments would be different.
I wonder what kind of person Yao Ji is in Senior Brother Wusu’s heart?
Ping Lili pretended not to understand what he said, raised her little face and forced a smile: "Brother, what do you mean? I have always been the same me."
"Stop pretending. I know exactly what you're thinking. These so-called panaceas are just excuses. You just don't want to go back to Shamo City with me! Don't think I don't know that in your heart you don't even consider me your senior brother. Maybe I'm even worse than an outsider." Wu Su exposed her lies without hesitation. In fact, he had always seen some things clearly.
