This is human nature.
Of course, Sui Yi and figures like Hell’s Wan Ge or Yi, who don’t fall into the category of normal won, are exceptions.
But Shong Xiufang still possesses the instincts of a woman, or rather, she is an exceedingly feminine woman. Therefore, she was bothered by Sui Yi’s words.
Sui Yi was taken aback by her expression, thinking perhaps he had spoken too harshly?
It was as though she had been disfigured.
"It’s actually not bad, just a bit pale in complexion and lacking energy. So blood-tonics should do the trick," Sui Yi said blandly.
Yet Shong Xiufang’s expression turned slightly peculiar, as if she pondered for a mont, and said, "Miss Song was right to remind . I almost forgot that the teacher’s dical skills are excellent. In that case, may I humbly ask for your help?"
Hehe, is this her way of asking for my contact information?
Song Yuzhi, insightful as always, flashed a glance and pinched the friendly and courteous brother, who was chuckling beside her.
Song Shidao: Why are you pinching again! If you do it again, I’ll get angry!
Song Yuzhi: ....
After all, the one who helped her deserved so consideration, especially since the other party had brought it up. Naturally, Sui Yi would not refuse and nodded, "Alright, you can co to Sui Tang Square to find at that ti..."
Then she suddenly looked toward the door.
At this mont, they were at the entrance on the first floor, supposedly bidding farewell. Sui Yi tilted her head toward the outside, appearing sowhat worried and hesitant. Shong Xiufang initially wanted to follow Sui Yi to Sui Tang Square for a consultation, but upon sensing Sui Yi’s absent-mindedness, she apologized, "Teacher must have other matters to attend to, I have disturbed you. I will visit another day..."
The Song siblings knew that Sui Yi ca here to wait for soone. However, when she proposed leaving just now, it was probably not solely because it was unwise to linger in Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Was there a problem with the arrangent?
Sui Yi looked at the sky, being soone who was quite ti-conscious, and Hell’s Wan Ge even more so. It was not just because of her foreign origin but also because of her identity as an assassin, making her particularly attentive to timing.
At present, it seed the ti had already passed, yet the person had not arrived.
There was only one reason.
—She had a problem.
Upon this thought, Sui Yi’s brow furrowed tightly.
Suddenly.
"It’s raining."
During this ti in March and April, the rain ca unexpectedly, appearing frequently.
Right now, the rain was falling gently, sotis heavy, sotis light, causing those who were about to leave to remain in place.
Including the Song siblings and Shong Xiufang.
Originally, the sun was shining brightly, but in a minute, spring rains began to fall. The lake opposite seed to be shrouded in mist, and the entire Changan was enveloped in a slightly hazy atmosphere of rain mist, with greenery continuously dripped upon....
Inside the pavilion, attendants had already prepared umbrellas for these leaving distinguished guests, so there was no need for anyone to send for umbrellas.
However, at this very mont.
There was soone by the lakeside whose presence went unnoticed until just now. This individual, draped in deep azure fabric, allowed rain to fall mistily upon them, as if covered in a layer of greyish-white haze. Long hair cascading over their shoulders, the person stood at the lake shore, gazing at them from afar.
The only thing not shrouded in vagueness was their eyes.
Black and bright, crystal clear.
She had arrived.
Only now did Song Yuzhi realize who Sui Yi had been waiting for.
Shong Xiufang also realized that Sui Yi was waiting for that incomparably aloof and stunningly attractive woman.
Standing in the rain, this beauty appeared utterly unperturbed, resembling a statue sculpted by the Hand of God.
But those eyes alone revealed she was human.
And this person looked at Sui Yi with a faint gaze.
As if she ca only to et.
Sui Yi lightly touched her nose with her fingers, her brow slightly furrowed.
There was a sll of blood.
And just then, several water trails suddenly shot up from the lake behind Hell’s Wan Ge, turning into water arrows aid at her back!
anwhile, the ordinary folks taking shelter from the rain at a nearby pavilion suddenly leapt out, hurling air bullets or hurling hidden weapons...
A killing atmosphere in the rain.
Hell’s Wan Ge was undoubtedly injured, and severely too, which led these people to trail her.
However, this didn’t an she couldn’t kill them.
The Scythe moved.
Rain rolled off the blade, through blood, and finally swept across throats.
In an instant, the brief shadow play was over.
The edge of the blade dripping with blood.
Hell’s Wan Ge stood in the rain and faintly said to Sui Yi, "Sorry, I didn’t expect them to follow, nor did I expect to be late."
Though late, she didn’t break the appointnt.
"It’s good you ca back," Sui Yi glanced at her, then looked towards the lake, softly saying, "Isn’t it cold underwater?"
A head erged from beneath the lake, resembling a Water Ghost, suspended in the water. Hair dripping wet obscured his eyes, but those eyes were cold and vicious, currently staring at Sui Yi, frightening many.
This person is...
"Indeed, Swordsman, you are formidable, but in such rain, the road is treacherous. Please, take care..."
He finished, and the head subrged back into the water.
Truly no different from a ghost.
With the person gone, Shong Xiufang and others were still puzzled, silently questioning which faction this belonged to.
Had the retaliations for the attempted assassination on Sui Yi and her companion finally comnced?
Sui Yi did not respond to this, simply gazed at the rain-drenched Hell’s Wan Ge with knitted brows, took an umbrella prepared by the Xiaoxiang Pavilion attendants, and walked down the steps.
Proceeding slowly, gracefully, as if unbothered by Hell’s Wan Ge’s injuries or the sudden attack from unknown identity attackers...
Once beside Hell’s Wan Ge, she extended the umbrella over her, turned to Shong Xiufang and the others, nodded slightly.
Shong Xiufang and the others returned the gesture, and then watched as Sui Yi and her companion walked slowly through the rain, departing.
"I find it strange, why didn’t the teacher make a move? Instead, she let that... master act while injured," Song Yuzhi found it odd, not thinking Sui Yi was heartless. After all, they had seen Sui Yi kill for Wei Zhenzhen, yet this woman clearly had a closer connection to her, so why treat her indifferently? (To be continued.
