Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 41: Seeing Each Other Without Knowing Each Other
Seeing Wu Su's nervous face as if he believed it and wanted to carefully check her injuries, and hearing Wu Su find a good excuse for her, Gong Lili was secretly proud in her heart. Although she didn't know why he suddenly ended the topic when he mentioned the person named Yun Chu just now, Gong Lili was very happy that he helped her find a scapegoat.
So I immediately decided to go along with what he said: "I don't know, I don't remember anything, I just have a headache, as if it's about to tear apart... I, I can't remember what happened yesterday, and who is Yunchu you mentioned?"
At that moment, a fleeting chill flashed in Wu Su's eyes. Although he concealed it very well, Yinglili still noticed it keenly. He seemed to believe in Yinglili, or rather, what Junior Sister Yao Ji said. At that moment, Yinglili sighed deeply, and suddenly a sense of guilt surged in his heart.
But thinking of Wusu's subsequent actions and Yaoji's tragic end, Gonglili felt that what he was doing now was truly righteous. If he could do his part to change Yaoji's fate, or the fate of most Nayu people, then what harm would it do to be a bad person for once? With this thought, the slightest trace of guilt in his heart was quickly strangled in the cradle.
Wu Su frowned deeply, sighed, and murmured to Gong Lili with a tone of deep guilt, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. If I had known she was hostile to you, I shouldn't have allowed you to accept her challenge. I was careless..."
After saying that, he sighed again, and gently stroked the top of Gong Lili's head with his big hand. At that moment, Wu Su's words actually made Gong Lili a little scared. As a woman, she could feel Wu Su's sincerity towards Yao Ji at this moment. This was a Wu Su she had never seen before, or rather, this was the most tender side of Wu Su she had never seen before, a side that was only shown to Yao Ji. At that moment, Gong Lili finally believed that this man really loved Yao Ji, at least at this time, he loved Yao Ji deeply.
Even if he loved her so deeply, how could he bear to see her fade away before his eyes ? Ping Lili sighed in her heart again, feeling that she really didn't understand this kind of love, and she couldn't comprehend it no matter how hard she tried.
However, with her excellent acting skills, Yinglili quickly gained Wusu's trust and made Wusu believe that her memory was confused because she was accidentally injured in the duel with the senior sister named Yunchu last night.
After all, no matter how smart Wu Su was, he was just a teenager of eighteen or nineteen years old at this time. And because of his feelings for his junior sister Yao Ji, it was impossible for him to think too much. When competing with a planned and premeditated time traveler like Gong Lili, he naturally seemed much more naive.
Wu Su took the trouble to introduce to Ying Lili Yao Ji's current situation and many issues that Ying Lili urgently needed to know, such as the time background at this time, which should have been shortly after the Yonghui War ended and Yao Ji was not yet sixteen years old.
Because he ran away without permission, he was put in solitary confinement for nearly a month by the senior teachers.
However, Yao Ji is Yao Ji after all. If she is obedient, she will have to change her name. In this respect, she has something in common with Gong Lili. Neither of them is an obedient baby. Not long after being released, she has returned to her old ways and begs her senior brother Wu Su to take her out for some fresh air every day.
Unable to resist Yao Ji's pleading, and feeling sorry for this lively and active little sister who had been locked up in such a lifeless place all day long, Wu Su planned to secretly take Yao Ji out for some fresh air while the senior teachers sent him out to do something.
After receiving this useful information, Gong Lili began to think about how to get closer to Wu Su. After all, he considered himself Yao Ji, so as long as he didn't reveal his true identity too much, Wu Su should be harmless. Besides, at this point, Wu Su didn't even know he existed. Even if he did reveal his true identity, he could easily come up with an excuse to cover it up. He certainly wouldn't have imagined a time travel.
Moreover, she had to find a way to get closer to the legendary uncles of Yao Ji, the four elders of Shamo City, the people who were ordered by Jianyi to kill Yao Ji. Also, she had to find out what happened between Jianyi and Yao Ji, as well as those people of the Nayu tribe. If they could prepare in advance, maybe the Shamo War could be avoided?
More importantly, at this time Yao Ji had not yet obtained the inheritance of the chief wizard of the Shamo tribe. Gong Lili was also interested in the inheritance of the so-called God of Shamo. She wondered how Kamyi conveyed his will to the Shamo people?
These were things that she had no chance to touch before. Now that such a great opportunity was before her, Gong Lili would naturally not let it go easily. She calculated one by one in her mind. For those who would become or might become her enemies in the future, she must take advantage of this great opportunity to get closer to them and deepen her understanding.
When necessary... you can strike first!
She believed that although Yao Ji's physical cultivation was not very high at this moment, based on her previous memories, she should not be too weak. The moves that Yao Ji and Jian Yi had taught her were still in her mind. Once those skills were learned, they would not be easily forgotten. Even the tricks of using the blade that Mo Yi had taught her were still fresh in her memory!
If they really fight, there is no guarantee of winning. Moreover, Gong Lili is currently thinking in his mind which people he can recruit for help.
Mo Yi's name was the first thing that popped into Yinglili's mind. Thinking of Mo Yi, Yinglili's heart clenched. She wondered how he was doing now. If he found out he was missing, would he be worried? Given his personality, he'd probably go on a killing spree again, right?
Then he thought, now that he had returned to five hundred years ago, would he still see Mo Yi from five hundred years ago? This thought made Ping Lili's heart leap with joy and excitement.
But she knew that the priority now wasn't Mo Yi, but Sha Mo's group, Senior Brother Wu Su, and the four elders. She had to find a way to deal with them, or at least find a way to change the fate of Yao Ji and the Nayu people. Heaven had given her this opportunity to travel through time and the identity of Yao Ji, and if she didn't make good use of it, she would be doing a disservice to Heaven's kindness.
Soon he thought of Wu Su's purpose of coming today. After some thought, Gong Lili was secretly happy. He had gone through so much trouble before saying that he wanted to go to Shamo City, but after so much fighting and killing, he couldn't even get close to Shamo City. Now he could take this opportunity to go to Shamo City and take a look, even if it was just to explore the way and check out the place.
Thinking of this, she raised her little face and said to Wu Su with a pitiful look: "Brother Wu Su, didn't you say you would take me out for some fresh air?"
Wu Su then remembered his original purpose, but when he thought of her condition just now, his eyes were filled with worry: "But, since you are in this state, why don't you stay in bed and rest for a few days? Another day..."
"No! I'm much better now. I want to go... and maybe going out for a walk can help me remember a lot of things." At this moment, Gong Lili's mind was full of the desire to go to Shamo City to check out this city that has always existed in legends and memories. How could she wait for a few more days?
Moreover, she subconsciously wanted to have more contact with Wu Su, and it would be best if she could find an opportunity to test Wu Su's strengths and weaknesses.
The previous confrontation in the alchemy pot made her feel that the strength of this senior brother named Wu Su was truly unfathomable. Although he was still very young at this time and his cultivation level would certainly not be as high as it would be five hundred years later, if she fought with him again, or could observe his moves up close, perhaps she would make some new and unexpected discoveries.
Having made up her mind, Ping Lili would not let go of this great opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. Afraid that Wu Su would reject her, she simply used her trump card. She pursed her red lips slightly, frowned slightly, and with a pitiful look on her face, she gently pulled Wu Su's arm and shook it: "Brother, can you take me out for some fresh air? I'm almost suffocating here!"
For a modern woman like Gong Lili, such coquettish behavior is actually nothing big. In the past, Gong Lili often used such tricks on her cousins. However, for Wu Su, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy who grew up in Shamo City and was just beginning to fall in love, such words and actions were indeed a little ambiguous.
For no apparent reason, Wu Su's face flushed. He looked at his junior sister, whose arms were gently embraced by her, and who was looking at him with such hope. He coughed uncomfortably twice, his heart slightly sweet, yet his eyes wandered shyly elsewhere. "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. Hurry up and wash up . I'll wait for you outside."
After saying that, he didn't even turn around and rushed out the door as if escaping, looking like he was in a state of panic. Ping Lili stared at him in such a miserable state, and after a while, she covered her mouth and chuckled. She really didn't expect that the damn old man Wu Su had such an innocent and shy side when he was young. It was interesting, really interesting.
Suddenly, Ying Lili had the idea of playing a trick on him. As the saying goes, a bad guy's nature is hard to change no matter where he goes.
But then he thought, if Yao Ji had fallen in love with him instead of Mo Yi, perhaps none of this would have happened? Everything, all the tragedies...
For no reason, this thought suddenly emerged in Yinglili's mind.
