Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 43: Being Heartless Is Not as Painful as Being Affectionate
Just as Wu Su attacked, Ying Lili had already quietly used the Life Spirit Technique, quickly locking onto the attacker. Ying Lili had never been one to be bullied, ever! Just because she had been forced to sit back and wait for death, she didn't strike back, but that didn't mean she would just sit back and let herself be bullied!
She had to first figure out who was behind this. As for revenge, a gentleman's revenge is never too late! However, the results of her investigation shocked her: the attacker was actually a woman! Although covered in black veil, her figure looked about the same age as Yao Ji. The moment the attacker turned around, Qinglili happened to notice a golden ribbon tied in her hair.
Moreover, this light arrow was shot from a restaurant in the distance, probably at least ten feet away from here! The light arrow shot from such a distance could still have such an effect, it seems that the woman not only has extraordinary eyesight, but also has a very high level of cultivation!
Most importantly, the arrow was clearly aimed at her vitals. No, or rather, it was aimed at Yao Ji. With such a vicious and cruel move, the opponent clearly wanted to take Yao Ji's life!
Ying Lili secretly wondered in her heart, could it be that Yao Ji still had some enemies in Shamo City? Who was so vicious as to want her life?
"Yao Ji, are you okay?" At this time, Wu Su's voice came hurriedly from above her head. Gong Lili realized that she had been protected under him all the time. When she was about to turn over, she suddenly felt something sticky dripping on her face. She wiped it casually , and her hands were covered with scarlet!
It was blood! Ying Lili was slightly startled, then quickly realized it wasn't her own blood, but Wu Su's. Puzzled, she looked up, only to discover that Wu Su's right hand, which had been protecting her head, had been cut open with a long, bloody wound, and blood was gushing out!
Could it be that he was injured by the light arrow just now? Pinglili reacted quickly, but he saw clearly that the light arrow did not touch his body, but passed by his arm with a whizzing sound!
Could a mere passing by have caused such consequences? The light arrow looked ordinary, but I hadn't expected its power to be so astonishing!
"Brother, you're injured!" Gong Lili exclaimed, pausing her thoughts. She quickly used both hands to seal the acupuncture points for him to stop the bleeding, then without thinking, she tore off a piece of her skirt and quickly bandaged Wu Su. Wu Su let her stop the bleeding and bandage him, but his eyes were fixed viciously in the direction of the light arrow. At that moment, he actually felt something vaguely, but because he was worried about her safety, he didn't dare to follow the source of the light arrow all the way to find out the cause. After all, he couldn't guarantee that there was only one attacker! If he left her alone here at this time, the consequences would be even more unimaginable.
However, his counterattack just now should have left that person with some small memory, so he wouldn't be afraid of not being able to find her in the future!
It seems some people are becoming increasingly restless! They actually dared to attack Yao Ji right in front of him.
If he hadn't been by her side just now, that arrow would have probably taken Yao Ji's life, right?!
Thinking of that possibility, Wu Su's eyes became even colder. It seemed that he would have to take action to remind certain people later! Even if doing so would make the senior teacher unhappy, there were some things he had to personally intervene in. He had no objection to them competing for the position of the chief wizard, but if they wanted to hurt Yao Ji, don't blame him for turning his back on them!
At this moment, Gong Lili was also filled with emotion. She never expected that the woman's attack just now would be so vicious. She was actually aiming for Yao Ji's life. She really didn't know what kind of grudge that person had with Yao Ji.
She looked at Wu Su's expression calmly, and suddenly a trace of speculation arose in her heart. Wu Su's expression did not seem surprised. Could it be that he knew who the person who attacked was?
It seems that this Shamo City is indeed full of dangers. Yinglili secretly raised her guard in her heart. Even if this body belongs to Yao Ji, she doesn't want to be bullied. Bullying Yao Ji is to offend her! Yinglili secretly made a note of this unknown person in her heart. One day, she will repay this arrow double. If she doesn't take revenge, she will not be called Yinglili!
After a long while, Wu Su finally came back to his senses. Naturally, he saw the anger on his junior sister's face . He thought she had guessed something, so he reached out his uninjured hand and patted her head, his tone firm and resolute: "Don't let your imagination run wild! Don't worry, I'm here with you. I won't let them hurt you in the slightest!"
Hearing this, Ping Lili was slightly startled. She looked up at Wu Su, thinking she had misheard. Was it Wu Su who had just said this? She had always had the impression that Wu Su was timid and fearful, but she had never expected him to say such a thing. If these words had come from Mo Yi or Long Yu, she would have believed them. At least in her mind, the former two were people who kept their promises.
However, Gong Lili was not a child. After thinking about it, he realized that what he said was one thing, but whether he could do it was another. Perhaps because of his previous prejudice against Wu Su, he did not take his words to heart at this time, and even forgot to think deeply about the meaning of his last sentence.
She just felt that he had been injured just to save her, and she felt a little guilty. She forced a cute smile and nodded at him, as if she believed him, and casually flattered him: "Well, I know that my senior brother treats me the best in the world."
Because of this sentence, Wu Su was secretly happy in his heart for a long time. It was worth it even if he got hurt a little to hear these words from his junior sister.
In fact, he had been a little depressed before, because ever since Yao Ji came back from the Yonghui Martial Arts Competition, she had become much more distant from him. Sometimes he even clearly felt that she was deliberately avoiding him. He was not a fool, so he naturally guessed that Yao Ji might have met someone in the Yonghui Martial Arts Competition. After all, he had heard of the Yonghui Martial Arts Competition, which gathered young talents from all over the world. It was entirely possible that someone took the opportunity to steal Yao Ji's heart.
Thinking of this possibility, Wu Su secretly regretted in his heart why he did not stop Yao Ji from going to Yonghui City, or simply go with her. However, there is no medicine for regret in this world.
Because Yao Ji had no intention of sharing her little daughter's thoughts with the senior brother, Wu Su didn't know about the existence of Mo Yi at this time. However, with his sixth sense, he vaguely felt that Yao Ji might be in love for the first time, so he decided to change his strategy of silently guarding her. It was time to let Yao Ji understand his feelings for her. If he let her continue to be ignorant like this, she might be snatched away by another boy soon!
This was something Wu Su could not tolerate at all. The little flower he had carefully cared for for ten years could not be given away to anyone else!
Thinking of this, Wu Su felt he should do something. Perhaps it was the other person's careless words that had given him great encouragement and a false impression, making him think that as long as he could break through that layer of paper, he would have a chance. He suddenly decided that it was better to wait for the best day than to wait for the best day. He would let her understand his feelings and decision now. He grabbed her hand with his injured arm and said, "Come on, I'll take you somewhere!"
Pinglili subconsciously wanted to shake off Wusu's hand, but thinking that he had just been injured saving her, she couldn't bear such cruelty. Furthermore, she remembered that this body seemed to belong to Yaoji. Yaoji and Wusu had grown up together and were as close as siblings. If it was just holding hands, it shouldn't be a big deal, right? With an attitude of indifference, Pinglili simply closed her eyes and calmly followed him, wanting to see where he wanted to take her.
Following Wu Su, they almost ran wildly through the ancient streets and arrived in front of an old house. Only then did Wu Su's brows relax slightly. He let go of her hand, smiled at her indifferently, and signaled her with his eyes to go in first.
Gong Lili stared back at him, bewildered, not knowing what Wu Su was up to. Where was this place? It wasn't a good idea to trespass like this. But seeing Wu Su's encouraging, slightly expectant look, she couldn't bear to refuse his kindness. He was probably planning a surprise for herself, no, for Yao Ji, right?
With this thought in mind, Gong Lili reached out her hand doubtfully and knocked on the large rusty iron ring on the gate. The gate was actually ajar. Although Wu Su gestured for her to go in directly, based on the most basic etiquette she had developed in the world, Gong Lili decided to knock on the door first so that she could be mentally prepared.
At this time, I only heard a woman's response from inside: "Come in, the door is not locked."
Ping Lili's body shook slightly, and the hand that knocked on the door was trembling slightly. The voice just now was clearly the voice of her mother in the living world!
The homesickness and longing for her parents that she had always hidden in her heart suddenly surged towards her like a tide. Ping Lili didn't care about anything else at this moment. She pushed open the half-closed door and stumbled in.
At this time, a middle-aged woman wearing a gray headscarf and coarse clothes who was hanging clothes to dry suddenly caught Yinglili's sight. However, when Yinglili saw the woman's face clearly, she was disappointed. Although her voice was exactly the same as her mother's, her face was completely different. Perhaps the conditions in this world are better or her mother pays more attention to maintenance, so Yinglili's mother looks younger, and her figure is also the same as Yinglili, relatively thin and petite, while this middle-aged woman is taller and more plump. Although she is wearing a gray headscarf, it cannot hide the weathering on her face. However, judging from her face, she is still slightly similar to Yao Ji.
The woman seemed to have heard the noise outside as well. She looked up at that moment, but the moment she saw Gong Lili, her expression was stunned for a moment, and then turned into ecstasy. The clothes in her hands, which she had not yet hung up, fell to the ground. The middle-aged woman subconsciously covered her mouth, opened her eyes wide, and called out to Gong Lili in a trembling voice: "Sister?! Are you a sister?"
