Chapter 2, Special Operations Team
Leilei is only concerned about her own neck, yet she is troubled by the pressure on her acupoints and cannot check. Anxiously, she exclaims: "Is the cut deep? I feel dizzy, so dizzy... I've lost too much blood, damn it, why aren't you helping me stop the bleeding!"
"Want to commit suicide? It's not that easy!" An old man in a blue coat walked out from behind.
The iron lord said: "Young Master Xiao, be cautious, this enchantress speaks strangely, do not let it be another trick of the Thousand Moon Cave!"
The young master’s face darkened, gritting his teeth to maintain his composure: "If I am truly being pursued, I will certainly take you to see the leader of the alliance and restore your honor. If you do not let go, do not blame me for being rude."
The master of the iron manor in the brocade robe stepped forward and said, "Did you not know the whereabouts of the longevity fruit, which is why you had me, Tie, send money here for the transaction?"
The young master felt quite powerless and extended his hand
"Ghost!" Amidst the earth-shattering scream, the scholar fell to the ground with a thud, and then there was complete silence.
Young Master frowned: "Isn't it strange to see so much money for no reason?"
Young master, you...
The young master frowned: "Let go."
Where can I find the longevity fruit
The other party's attitude towards admitting their mistake was poor, which made Lei Lei even angrier: "Physical injuries are still injuries! You were right to arrest people, but I am innocent. Now that I have been harmed by you, you must take responsibility!"
Lei Lei nodded: "Yes."
Clearing her throat, Lei Lei was about to speak
... ...
What is the longevity fruit? It is inexplicable
The young master nodded, feeling it necessary to conduct a thorough investigation: "Who is it? Where did they come from?"
Then it means I still have to ride for several more days? Lei Lei silently lamented, "How should I address you?"
This one is strong while that one is weak. The young master has never encountered such a remarkable person. It is indeed not good to truly do anything to her, and he reluctantly suppresses his anger: "Since we are in a hurry to return to the manor, and you insist on accompanying us, how about you follow me back first?"
Seeing that she did not respond, the young master’s tone grew considerably colder: "Who sent you here?"
Is it very far
Considering his image and demeanor, he could only endure: "Let go for now!"
The young master furrowed his brows: "Zhao, the steward."
A few people walked out from the side, among them a middle-aged man dressed in a brocade robe, with a purple tang-colored complexion and a short stubbly beard on his chin. He glanced at Lei Lei and then turned to the young master: "I didn't expect it to be a woman"
Who the hell wants to commit suicide
He stripped off his outer garment and ran away
Leilei panicked and rushed over to hug those long legs: "Hey, hey, don't leave me behind, you promised!"
The young master said coldly: "Speak!"
Young Master, please investigate! Amidst the cries of despair, Lei Lei lunged towards the Young Master, saying, "Every word I spoke is true. I only remember that someone wanted to kill me, and then I fell off the cliff. You are a good person, please save me!"
Let go
The young master glanced at her and directly leaped onto the horse
Young master, let her go: "Nonsense!"
No, no, it's going to fall!
Leilei was immediately struck by lightning
The young master did not respond
"There really are people who want to kill me," Lei Lei cried, tightening her embrace around the young master, while rubbing her face against his chest. "If you leave me here, I will lose my life. Young master, save me!" I held him and thought, why are you in such a hurry, old man!
Stepping on solid ground, breathing in unpolluted air, unaware of how far I have walked, the sun rises higher and higher, casting a golden glow on the ground, as sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, falling onto the earth like scattered pieces of gold
A cold light flashed, and a long knife was once again pressed against her neck, successfully silencing her cries
As she lunged towards him, the young master was initially on guard, suspecting it to be some sort of trick, ready to deliver a blow to send her away as soon as she revealed her true intentions. However, upon realizing that the woman meant no harm, he found himself firmly embraced, leaving him at a loss for what to do. Coupled with his inherent cleanliness obsession, his instinct was to push her away, but unfortunately, her grip was so tight that he could not break free.
No matter how rude you are, Lei Lei ignores the threat
The footsteps came to a halt
In life, choices are always present, and soon two major paths appear before us
I will sing a song for you to listen to
Do not let go!
Infected by this sigh, Lei Lei began to beat the small drum. As a time-traveling woman, how can she win the favor of the male lead in the heavenly thunder literature? In the current scene, she can't recall any poetry, so it would be better to sing a couple of songs instead
Having not eaten dinner and being filled with a belly full of medicine, Lei Lei lay on the rudimentary wooden bed, her emotions tumultuous and unsettled. What exactly is the identity of "Chunhua"? Looking at her fair and tender hands, she should not be an ordinary peasant girl. According to the aunt, she was unable to marry into a prominent family in Jinjiang, which is why she ended up in this village, contemplating jumping off a cliff to seek death
When traversing the rivers and lakes, it seems necessary to carry some money
Everyone was taken aback
It is not you, will you come to collect the money
The name of the knife, Xiao Xiao Feng Ming, is renowned throughout the world. Who would dare to show disrespect? The young master has never felt so helpless: "It is often inconvenient for men and women to travel together, this..." Look at the iron lord.
This person has an elegant appearance, resembling a scholar, and as he walks, he murmurs: "... ... I wish to speak but hold my tongue, what a fine autumn it is ... ... "
In the Tianlei text, how could there be a lack of "Xiaobai"! Leilei was in a great mood and suddenly felt that the name "Chunhua" was actually not bad: "What a good name, what a good name!"
Leilei Huo: "Quickly release the acupoint, release the acupoint! My blood has all flowed out!"
For the first time in his life, the young master felt somewhat speechless at being extorted: "It is merely a flesh wound."
One goes to the left, and one goes to the right
A tall and robust chestnut horse was quickly brought out. Lei Lei was quite willing to try new things; it took her five attempts before she finally managed to climb onto the horse's back. The horse immediately raised its neck and let out a soft snort, which startled her and caused her to tumble down.
"Our young master is a man of his word, worth a thousand gold pieces. Let go at once!" exclaimed Steward Zhao, puffing his cheeks.
Under an exceptionally ancient tree, there lay a small pouch, which appeared to have been loosely tied at the opening, allowing the wind to blow it open, revealing numerous colorful banknotes inside. The topmost note was printed with a large image of gold ingots and inscribed with the words "One hundred taels"
The young master could not help but frown slightly and sighed, it seems that he really has no choice but to take her back to the manor first
Ah ah—murder!" Lei Lei screamed like a pig being slaughtered, "Quick, look if it’s cut! Is it cut!"
No answer
Take off your clothes
Leilei was lost in thought, secretly acknowledging that the benefits of the Heavenly Thunder Script were indeed present, with beauty to be found everywhere.
Suddenly, a woman appeared in front of the scholar, leaving him stunned: "Miss..."
Really? Doubtful
Leilei released her hand with ease: "Let's go."
one hundred taels, one hundred taels
Why wouldn't I take the money?
What is the official view? The public is perplexed
Butler Zhao's fingers trembled as he said: "In broad daylight..."
At the sound of the "dang dang," all the long swords were sheathed
Leilei deliberately asked: "What? In broad daylight, forcibly robbing a civilian man?"
Everyone fell silent
Oh no, I'm going to be treated as a bad person and killed. Lei Lei began to sweat and stammered, "I wasn't originally from here; in fact, I don't even know how I ended up in the village." Seeing that he didn't believe her, she hurriedly added, "Because I fell off a cliff yesterday and can't remember anything." Damn it, I've been here for less than a day and have already lost my memory twice.
Lei Lei finally understood what was going on; it turned out they had set a trap using bait, and she had accidentally walked into it. She was immediately filled with anger: "How did you know it was me?"
Young master, neglecting compliments: "Where do you live?"
Leilei tilted her head and presented the evidence: "Look at my neck!"
"Hurry, someone help me see if there is any bleeding!" Lei Lei continued to scream, "Killing without reason, I will send you to the authorities! You must compensate me for my medical expenses!"
The young master suddenly flashed his gaze: "You truly are from the village?"
Let go
The fierce wind howled, the moonlight was dim, a plain white dress fluttered in the wind, and a strange smile hung on her face. The woman stared at him for a long while, and finally spoke in a chilling tone: "I am very cold, may I borrow your clothes..."
My injury!
The horse swayed unsteadily, and she quickly embraced the young master's waist
Young Master Pingjing: "Xiao Bai."
Without waiting for a response, he led his subordinates to withdraw with the bag of money
Butler Zhao is unable to speak
The wide sleeves reveal a glimpse of the left hand, which holds a black scabbard.
Where should I go? Lei Lei pondered for a moment and decided to go left. Just as she was about to lift her foot, a sudden cold wind blew, and leaves fell from above in a flurry. She couldn't help but shiver, realizing that it was autumn, and she was only wearing a plain white garment.
The iron lord was indeed stumped by the question
Since you are being pursued, who would be willing to take on such a hot potato? The iron lord immediately coughed and said: "Miss, there is no need to worry. Young Master Xiao from Baisheng Mountain Villa will stand up for you and will surely restore your justice in the future." He then turned to the young master: "Thank you, Young Master Xiao, for your assistance. I, Tie, will take my leave now. I will send a message to report this matter to Alliance Leader He in due course."
Suddenly, a bright and soaring song echoed through the mountains nearby: "The East is Red, the sun is rising, a hero named He Taiping has emerged in the rivers and lakes..."
Her hands were exceptionally long and beautiful. Lei Lei was stunned for a moment before she reacted, quickly extending her hand. As she raised her hand, Lei Lei felt her body lift off the ground, and in a haze, she found herself sitting behind him
Lei Lei choked: "Yes, it seems... I only remember this little bit."
The young master grasped her wrist and coldly laughed, "Could a village girl have such hands?"
Young Master said: "Aren't you suffering from amnesia?"
Where can I find the longevity fruit
Under the cold moon, Lei Lei ran wildly, seeing the ancient village of Gu Yan growing farther behind her, and she finally felt a sense of relief
The warm sunlight, the cool breeze carrying the scent of earth, and the fragrance from the young gentleman's attire
Leilei hurriedly shook her head, suddenly feeling a chill at her neck, followed by a sharp pain. It turned out that at some unknown time, several gleaming long knives had already been placed against her throat
It is surprising that someone would not know of Baisheng Mountain Villa. The young master paused slightly and said, "It is approximately a three-day journey." After a moment, he added, "With circumstances like this, it is likely to take five or six days."
I do not know who I am, Lei Lei said: "From the ancient sayings village."
A shadow flickered by, and the young master was already standing in front of her, bending down to swiftly press on her acupoint.
Everyone turned around
Knowing that he was an upright person, Lei Lei was no longer afraid. She quickly jumped up from the ground and rushed forward to grab the young master's sleeve, saying, "You have hurt me, and you think you can just leave like this?"
Looking up, a young gentleman stood not far away, appearing to be in his twenties, with brows like long blades and eyes resembling cold stars. His demeanor was extraordinary, and a silver crown held back part of his black hair. Although his blue and white robe looked simple and unadorned, its texture and color were exceptional, far surpassing the quality of the garments worn by the villagers earlier.
Leilei truly saw the gold
What is that pile of things? Lei Lei has already guessed half of it, and the other half is something she is forced not to think about, choosing to ignore it and continue walking forward, silently telling herself: I am not actually greedy for money, I want to be a normal female protagonist
Beside him, Steward Zhao snorted and said, "Young master, be cautious; this woman has an unknown background and is full of lies, merely trying to swindle some silver."
The young master was also taken aback, as it turned out that the owner of Iron Family Village had taken the initiative to report. A mysterious figure had approached him the day before, claiming to know the whereabouts of the longevity fruit and demanding 10,000 taels of silver for it. The matter of the longevity fruit was of great significance, having already stirred up considerable turmoil, leading to enmity among the three major sects. The alliance leader, He Taiping, intervened and managed to suppress the issue for the time being. Unexpectedly, this news suddenly emerged. Baisheng Villa has always taken it upon itself to uphold justice in the martial world, and since they were passing through this area, they could not help but intervene. Thus, they set a trap to lure the person in, only to find that it was actually a young woman who arrived.
Where is your home
Who sent you here?" A pleasant male voice.
Leilei, with tears in her eyes, acted stubbornly: "I want to go with you, otherwise I will be killed by them!"
The old man in the blue robe looked at him with disdain and tossed over two silver ingots, saying, "Take this to see a doctor"
You ... ... '' The scholar was frightened and trembled
To clarify one's identity, one must first leave this place
You! Aside from the enchantress of Qianyue Cave, there is actually such a thick-skinned young lady. The young master was momentarily at a loss for words, his handsome face slightly flushed, feeling somewhat flustered.
Only then did Lei Lei realize that the atmosphere of the scene had been overdone. In a panic, she crouched down and felt the person's chest, discovering that there was still a heartbeat. She then breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother, I truly did not mean to."
Leilei woke up, trembling: "What... what should I say?"
Butler Zhao has already mounted his horse: "It is getting late, I shall go ahead to see if there are any small shops to arrange for lunch." He rode off.
Nerd? Lei Lei jumped out from behind the large rock
Originally, Leilei was not very enthusiastic about her identity, but she was truly unwilling to remain as "Chunhua". Therefore, she quietly lifted the blanket, got up, and carefully stepped over the two village women before sneaking out the door
The crowd was stunned
This remark reminded Lei Lei, indeed, what can such a small amount of money accomplish, one must ensure that their basic needs are met. She immediately wiped her eyes with her sleeve and began to cry bitterly
The old man in blue stopped her, saying: "At such a young age, you cannot distinguish between right and wrong. If the Longevity Fruit falls into the hands of the demonic sect, peace in the martial world will be hard to achieve. Fortunately, Master Tie understands the greater good..."
It is truly beautiful to see a handsome man blush up close.
Bai Sheng Mountain Villa. The young master spoke in a tone devoid of any emotion. After riding for more than one mile, the cries of the people behind him became increasingly desperate, forcing him to gradually slow down to adapt. In the end, it turned into a leisurely stroll, yet the woman was still not satisfied
Lei Lei stepped back, squatted down, and began to count the money. Which fool threw the money here? It would be good to pick up some living expenses, for accommodation, meals, and also to change into some clothes. One hundred taels is certainly not enough; at least ten thousand taels is needed
Butler Zhao stamped his foot: "Shameless! Let go at once, do not tarnish my young master's reputation!"
The young master smiled wickedly, resembling both a demon and an illusion
At midnight, the oil lamp flickered dimly, and two village women, acting as caregivers, dozed off at the bedside
"This is not nonsense, it is true!" Lei Lei was eager to find evidence, but unfortunately, identification cards were not yet common in this place. The villagers of Guyan Village could only confirm that her name was "Chunhua." Lei Lei was determined not to be called "Chunhua" in front of such a handsome man, so she fabricated a story: "It is like this, my name is Lei Lei. I came to Jinjiang City to seek a marriage proposal three months ago, but was chased by a group of unknown assailants, so I had no choice but to escape to this village..."
Learning from the lesson, Lei Lei immediately shook her head: "I forgot, I have amnesia"
It is certainly not possible to go back to fetch the clothes, yet it is truly unbearable due to the cold. Just as Lei Lei was in a difficult situation, a figure was approaching from a distance.
The young master looked at her for a while, and indeed sheathed his sword, then reached out to release her acupoint. Lei Lei immediately touched her neck and found that there was no bleeding, which made her feel much more at ease
Lei Lei said: "I only know that I have become wealthy"
Seeing the rough fabric of her clothing, the young master believed it to some extent: "Let us go."
The young master fished her out, his lips twitching: "Butler Zhao..."
Seeing the two servants ride away, Lei Lei came to her senses and glanced at the young master beside her, whose expression was not very good, and forced a smile, "I didn't know that riding a horse was so difficult."
Leilei caught it
