Chapter 5, The Young Master is a Bad Person (2)

Su Li pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "Rest assured, Madam Xue... Su Li will certainly not let you down..."

Su Lise said, "It's strange, I've been having nightmares almost every night these past few days. Coincidentally, the nightmare is always the same, making me afraid to fall asleep again." As she spoke halfway, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the deep fatigue in Xue Xiaoyou's starry eyes, and her heart warmed. She couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoyou, have you been keeping watch over me while I sleep?"

Ah! After letting out a wild scream, Su Li suddenly sat up from the bed, his face pale, cold sweat dripping down his back, the stinging pain at the corner of his eye seemed to linger faintly, and his entire body felt as if it had lost its warmth, akin to being dead.

... ...

However, the solitary woman Xue Xiaoyou was wholeheartedly focused on studying medicine and had no interest in gambling. Xue Qianlan, being the God of Gambling, could not bear to see the supreme gambling skills fade away. By chance, she noticed that Su Li was clever and had a good nature, and when bored, would even demonstrate some magical techniques she had never seen in reality. Xue Qianlan felt that it was fate, so she imparted all her gambling skills to Su Li without reservation, thus establishing Su Li's reputation as a minor gambling deity.

Xue Qianlan frowned and said: "However, this female thief possesses truly exceptional martial skills. Observing her footsteps as she left the casino, I even suspect that she might be..."

Regarding my situation of having crossed over to this place, according to Grandma Xue, it was when Xue Xiaoyou was washing clothes by the river that she rescued me, who had drifted in on a bamboo raft from the middle of the river. Later, seeing that Su Li had nowhere to go, Grandma Xue took her in at the Xue family. During these few days of staying here, Su Li's personality has aligned perfectly with my preferences, making Grandma Xue feel as if she has gained a child, overflowing with joy.

A warm feeling surged within Su Li. In the martial world, teaching one's own sect's techniques to others is a grave taboo. Even someone as open-minded as Xue Qianlan cannot escape this custom. Yet now, Granny Xue has resolutely spoken such words in front of him, which truly shows her deep affection for Su Li. Upon realizing this, Su Li felt a wave of shame; Granny Xue cared for him so much, while he remained flippant and unserious, which was indeed disrespectful to her.

Xue Qianlan sighed and said, "Xiao Su, your grandmother is now advanced in age and has no particular desires. I only wish for Xiao You to live happily and joyfully." After speaking, she cast a meaningful glance at Su Li

Xue Xiaoyou replied with a soft "Hmm": "I noticed that you seem very tired today, so I guessed you might have nightmares tonight. I was worried that it would be difficult for you to fall back asleep after waking up, so I told my grandmother and decided to stay in the room next to yours. That is why I came in as soon as I heard your voice"

"Where is this ... ... ?" Su Li lay on the ground, his breath faint, his expression vacant, half-opening his right eye, yet feeling an unbearable sting, as if thousands of ants were bustling about in his eye.

Everything was ready, and Su Li lay on the large bed, feeling a myriad of drowsiness overwhelming him, in a daze.

Xue Qianlan shook her head, knowing that Su Li always had this teasing expression when he was serious. If one did not understand Su Li, they would surely be deceived by him. With a sigh, she said: "Su Li, if that woman from the Ancient Intent Pavilion is interested in your gambling skills, you might as well teach her everything. It doesn't matter to me on this end."

Su Li was not particularly surprised; she smiled and said, "I know, I saw you in the crowd."

Su Li sighed and said, "Go? How could I not go? Such a beautiful woman, such a master has already set their sights on me, and the note they left me even says 'If you don't go, you will die.' Is there still a possibility for me not to go?"

After Xue Xiaoyou finished speaking, she noticed Su Li's expression was one of despair, silent and pale as if covered in white frost. Her heart softened, and she lost the interest in teasing. She thought to herself that Su Li's fearful demeanor was not much different from that of a child, which was rather endearing. With this thought, she gazed at him a little longer, akin to a lovesick girl, and a faint blush appeared on her face.

Su Li was panting heavily, her eyes wide open in shock, still not fully coming to her senses, and could only nod slightly in a daze

As the largest assassin organization in the Great Qi, Gu Yi Lou is well-known to all, and its base is located in Yangzhou, where Su Li is currently situated

"Young Master, Young Master, you had another nightmare, didn't you?" Xue Xiaoyou sat by the bedside, taking one end of the silk handkerchief to wipe the beads of sweat from Su Li's forehead

Su Li had just made up her mind and was about to speak when Xue Qianlan smiled and said, "Enough, enough, I have also become muddled. This matter can be discussed later. Let us first talk about the urgent issues at hand."

Su Li let out an "Oh," thinking to himself, could it be that Grandma wants to entrust her daughter to me, hoping to add a great-grandson in her old age? What should I do about this? Although I have always been known for my kindness and love, how can one settle for feelings without having reached a certain level of accumulation?

After a moment of silence, Xue Qian unexpectedly said, "Actually, I was at that casino today as well"

In fact, I merely wanted to see whether your gambling skills have improved. Xue Qianlan was not concerned and said, That woman has an extraordinary background, and the invitation from the Jinyu Inn was made rather impulsively. Will you go or not?

Glancing at Su Li, a surge of courage rose within, and he changed his words: "Xiao You should be the first to hit... hit him!"

Su Li nodded and chuckled, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, we can discuss it later, we can discuss it later, there's no rush..."

"Is it the Ancient Style Pavilion?" A trace of worry finally flashed across Su Li's brows, and Granny Xue, slightly surprised, nodded in understanding.

Su Li secretly sighed, feeling truly moved by Xiao You's treatment of him. However, allowing her granddaughter to venture into the big bad wolf's room in the dead of night, Grandma Xue could indeed be considered a person who bridges the ancient and the modern. Could it be that my kind and upright side has been discovered by someone with discerning eyes? He couldn't help but admire Grandma Xue's keen insight into character.

Xue Xiaoyou smiled and said: "Who told you to always bully others? Now it's good, isn't it? Heaven has heard, and is punishing you, the bad person, through dreams."

However, Su Li appeared to be in deep thought, suddenly clapping his hands and sighing: "Which street is the Ancient Intent Pavilion located on? It has been so long that I have become unfamiliar with it."

"Ha, is this what they call the Great Qi Demon?" A voice as cold as ice struck against the ears repeatedly

However, Su Li reconsidered and thought that Xiao You was indeed a good girl. In today's world, there are many bad people. If one is to be a bad person, why not take advantage of oneself instead of others? In this way, a hundred thoughts flashed through Su Li's mind in an instant, and he fell into a deep contemplation about the term "bad person" throughout history.

On the same cold ground, Su Li felt his entire body surging with blood and energy, yet his throat tasted sweet. His internal strength was faint and elusive, and he struggled to lift his head to see the face of the person nearby. All around him lay corpses in disarray, banners scattered everywhere, and the city towers and streets continued to burn without end. Many soldiers, dressed in military uniforms, lay on the ground in disarray, their severed arms and limbs producing a continuous sound of tragic moans. Occasionally, cannonballs and crossbow bolts exploded in the sky, raising clouds of dust that conveniently obscured the face of that person.

Xue Xiaoyou noticed that he had been lost in thought for a long time, and still believed he had not yet returned from his nightmare. She smiled slightly and said, "Do not be afraid, do not be afraid, Xiaoyou is right beside you, who would dare to bully you? Xiaoyou will be the first to..." She originally intended to say, "not let him off the hook," but felt that such a statement lacked the necessary force.
