The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 712 Those who take shelter from the rain should die

On this day, the sunlight shone through the carved window lattices and onto Ouyang Linlin's slightly pale face.

Her delicate body finally showed some improvement and she was no longer as sickly as before.

Xi Yu hurried into the room, his eyes full of concern and joy, and said, "Linlin, you are finally better! Don't just kneel and chant Buddha's name anymore. The Buddha already knows your piety."

His brows were slightly furrowed, and there was a hint of heartache in his tone.

Ouyang Linlin leaned against the head of the bed, raised her head slightly, her eyes were gentle but firm, and she said softly: "I didn't expect to make you so worried."

There was a hint of apology on her face and her pale lips were slightly pursed.

At this time, Xiaohong also said excitedly: "Miss, you are finally well! I was scared during the days you were sick!" Tears flashed in her eyes and her hands were unconsciously clenched tightly.

Ouyang Linlin looked at Xiaohong's innocent appearance, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She smiled and said, "Silly girl, I am getting better now."

Xiao Hong said, "Young lady agreed not to chant the Buddha's name so desperately. That's great!"

Ouyang Linlin sighed softly, with a hint of emotion in her eyes: "I know you are all doing this for my own good, I will pay attention in the future."

Xi Yu stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside, and said solemnly: "Linlin, I plan to leave next. After all, the mission has been completed. As for Tuoba Yu, there is no need to look for her anymore. Just pretend that this woman has never existed."

When Ouyang Linlin heard this, her heart sank and the smile on her face disappeared instantly. She said, "Okay, let's leave then. However, I want to play in the Kushan Empire for a few days. It's not easy for me to come here." There was a trace of reluctance and helplessness in her eyes.

Xi Yu turned around and looked at Ouyang Linlin's slightly disappointed expression. He felt sorry for her and finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I'll do as you say. Stay here for a few more days."

Ouyang Linlin's mood finally eased a little. She bit her lip lightly and whispered, "Thank you, husband."

Her eyes fell into the distance, and her thoughts seemed to drift to an unknown distance.

Xiao Hong ran out of the house, looked up at the azure blue sky, and felt the gentle breeze brushing against her cheeks. She shouted excitedly, "Miss, the weather outside is so nice, why don't we go out for a walk now?"

Ouyang Linlin was sitting at the table in a daze. When she heard Xiaohong's suggestion, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes and she happily agreed, "Okay!"

Then he turned to look at Xi Yu and asked, "Husband, what do you think?"

Xi Yu smiled slightly and replied: "I'll go with you."

The three of them walked out of the room together and came to the yard.

The sun shines in every corner of the courtyard, and the branches and leaves of the green trees sway gently in the breeze.

Suddenly, the sound of a monk chanting Buddha's name came from afar. The sound was ethereal and distant, as if it came from another world.

Ouyang Linlin stopped unconsciously, her expression became solemn and dignified, and an inexplicable tranquility surged in her heart.

Several people were walking through the bustling streets, with laughter ringing out.

Ouyang Linlin looked at the dazzling array of goods on the street with curiosity.

Before they knew it, they arrived at Cao Rui's stall where he was selling things.

Cao Rui was originally busy greeting guests, but the moment he looked up and caught sight of Xi Yu, the smile on his face suddenly froze and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

After the guests left, Cao Rui quickly said to Xi Yu, "Can I have a word with you?"

Xi Yu nodded slightly, and calmly followed Cao Rui to a more secluded corner behind the stall.

Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong stood there, looking at the two men's backs with some confusion.

Cao Rui asked nervously and anxiously, "Does what happened in the temple have anything to do with you?"

Xi Yu frowned and asked in confusion: "What do you mean? I don't quite understand."

Cao Rui then realized that what he said was too ambiguous, and quickly changed his words and said directly: "It's about the young abbot."

Xi Yu's heart tightened, but his face remained calm. He stared straight at Cao Rui and asked with a slightly alert tone: "Why are you asking this?"

Cao Rui's face flushed red, his hands rubbed the corners of his clothes nervously, and he opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know where to start.

Xi Yu looked at him and said impatiently: "My time is limited, so forget it if you don't want to talk."

When Cao Rui heard this, he suddenly panicked, took a deep breath, and finally mustered up the courage to tell him about Cao Shuangshuang.

"It's like this, Cao Shuangshuang is the daughter of my uncle."

Xi Yu was stunned when he heard this, his eyes full of surprise.

Xi Yu no longer concealed the truth and spoke directly about Song Shuwen's medical practice.

Upon hearing this, Cao Rui's eyes widened instantly, and he burst into anger. He gritted his teeth and roared, "If it weren't for Song Shuwen, Shuangshuang and the abbot wouldn't have ended up like this!"

His face turned red and veins bulged on his forehead. Anger made him lose his mind and he suddenly stretched out his fist and hit Xi Yu.

Xi Yu was quick-witted and grabbed Cao Rui's arm in one go.

Cao Rui struggled hard but couldn't break free from Xi Yu's restraints.

Xi Yu looked serious, staring into Cao Rui's angry eyes, and said, "Calm down first! Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. The abbot is a Buddhist, but he wants to elope. His idea is wrong!"

Cao Rui panted heavily, his eyes wide open: "What do you know! They truly love each other!" But his heart was shaken by Xi Yu's words, and his movements gradually slowed down.

Seeing that Cao Rui had calmed down a little, Xi Yu let go of his arm and said slowly, "I understand how you feel, but impulse won't solve the problem."

Cao Rui dropped his arms weakly, his eyes filled with pain and confusion. He stood there, not knowing what to do.

Xi Yu ignored Cao Rui who was standing there and left.

He walked quickly and soon came to Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong.

When Ouyang Linlin saw him coming back, she asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Who is that person?"

Xi Yu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "That is Cao Rui, the son of Cao Pi."

Ouyang Linlin said "Oh" softly, frowned slightly, and asked again: "Will Cao Rui attribute his father's death to my husband and develop a revengeful mentality?"

There was worry in her eyes and she unconsciously clutched the corner of her clothes.

Xi Yu, however, looked unconcerned and snorted, "It doesn't matter, just let him come."

His eyes were firm and fearless, and he did not take the potential threat seriously at all.

They continued to stroll through the bustling streets. At least what they saw nearby seemed very prosperous on the surface. The bustling crowds and the dazzling array of goods seemed to make people forget that the Kushan Empire was in a state of war.

Ouyang Linlin suddenly stopped, with a hint of doubt in her beautiful eyes, and asked Xi Yu: "Husband, will you occupy the territory of the Kushan Empire in the future and become like the Central Plains?"

Xi Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't have such an idea. I won't just plunder territory like Alexander did."

Ouyang Linlin tilted her head, looking curious: "Who is Alexander?"

Xi Yu raised his head slightly and looked at the sky. It turned out that he accidentally talked about his past life again. He slowly said: "Alexander is a famous conqueror in the West. He conquered a large area of ​​land by force, but such rule is often difficult to last. What I want is not simple expansion, but peace and common prosperity."

Ouyang Linlin looked at Xi Yu, her eyes full of sincerity and concern, and said seriously: "I say this because I sincerely hope to help the people here get rid of their miserable living conditions."

"Linlin, I understand your intentions, but I don't have this idea at the moment. Let's talk about it later."

At this moment, at old man Wan Henghua’s house, the originally clear sky suddenly began to rain heavily.

Tuoba Yu, who couldn't think of anything, stood blankly in front of the window, looking at the world outside that was in chaos due to the rain, feeling very troubled in his heart.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted at the door: "Is there anyone in the house?"

Wan Henghua heard the shouting and looked outside, only to see several men standing at the gate. Their clothes were partially wet by the rain, and they were obviously there to take shelter from the rain.

Wan Henghua quickly responded, "Yes, yes, yes, come in!" Upon hearing the call, several men hurried into the house, patting the rain off their bodies while continuously thanking him, "Thank you for taking us in, old man."

Wan Henghua smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone has difficulties when they are away from home. Let's find a place to sit down and rest."

Tuoba Yu turned his head and looked at these strange men, wondering what was going on in his mind.

The men saw that Tuoba Yu was so beautiful and judging from her skin color, she didn't seem to be a woman from the Central Plains.

They suddenly felt very fresh and stared at Tuoba Yu with their eyes wide open. Some even had greedy looks in their eyes with malicious smiles on their lips.

When Wan Henghua saw this, he felt angry and coughed heavily.

Tuoba Yu also saw their disgusting looks, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of disgust, and he unconsciously took a few steps back.

Those men restrained themselves a little, but their eyes still glanced at Tuoba Yu from time to time.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became very awkward and tense, with only the sound of rain hitting the window.

After a while, a shorter man put his lips on the ear of another sturdy man and said a few words.

The burly man nodded continuously, an even more greedy smile appeared on his face, with an evil light flashing in his eyes.

"Brother, this woman is so beautiful, we can't miss this opportunity." The short man whispered, his eyes full of desire.

"Hmph, do you need to tell me that? If we can just deal with another old man, won't it be easy?" The burly man raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a ferocious expression, and he had already started to think about how to succeed.

They thought they were speaking in a low voice, but they didn't know that Tuoba Yu and Wan Henghua had already noticed their evil intentions.

Tuoba Yu bit her lips tightly, anger and fear intertwined in her heart. She clenched her fists tightly and thought: "I will never let these villains succeed!"

Wan Henghua's face turned pale, and he thought to himself: "It seems that I'm in trouble today. I have to protect this girl no matter what."

At this time, the atmosphere in the room became increasingly tense.

At this time, several men could no longer suppress the evil thoughts in their hearts and began to approach Tuoba Yu step by step.

One of the guys with a fat face pointed at Wan Henghua and said viciously: "Old man, don't meddle in other people's business, or you will be in trouble!" His eyes were fierce, as if he wanted to swallow Wan Henghua in one bite.

Wan Henghua straightened his back, glared, and shouted loudly: "In this bright and clear world, how dare you do such an evil thing? Aren't you afraid of retribution?" Although his voice was trembling, it was full of determination.

Tuoba Yu was so frightened that his face turned pale. He kept backing away, his body trembling slightly, and his heart was filled with fear: "What should I do? What should I do?"

Because she had lost her memory, she had long forgotten how hard she fought.

The men ignored Wan Henghua's rebuke and pressed on, with ferocious smiles on their faces and dirty words: "Little beauty, just be good and be happy with us."

Wan Henghua was so angry that his face turned red and he cursed at them: "You are a bunch of heartless beasts! I took you in to shelter from the rain with good intentions, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing worse than pigs and dogs!" His eyes were wide open and his chest was heaving violently.

However, before he could resist, a strong man kicked Wan Henghua to the ground.

Wan Henghua screamed in pain, curled up his body, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Seeing this, Tuoba Yu was extremely angry. Her eyes were blazing with fire and she shouted angrily, "You guys really deserve to die! You will definitely be punished!"

Her voice trembled with anger, and her beautiful face was filled with determination and hatred.

However, those men were not frightened by Tuoba Yu's anger at all. Instead, they laughed even more unscrupulously and approached Tuoba Yu step by step.

At this critical moment, Tuoba Yu's subconscious power erupted like a volcano.

Her eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and with a delicate shout, she took the initiative to fight with them like an agile leopard.

Tuoba Yu's movements were agile and his moves were fierce, each of them was full of power and speed.

Those men thought she was just a weak woman and could easily succeed, but they didn't expect her to be so powerful.

Tuoba Yu handled it with ease. His fists and feet were as fast as the wind. With a few "bangs", he soon kicked several people to the ground.

Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and her face was full of determination and courage, as if she was a different person.

The men lay on the ground, groaning in pain, looking at Tuoba Yu in horror, no longer having the arrogance they had just had.

Wan Henghua looked at Tuoba Yu in surprise, secretly marveling at her sudden powerful strength.

Tuoba Yu breathed slightly and looked coldly at the people on the ground.

Tuoba Yu's face became extremely fierce, his eyes revealed a chilling murderous intent, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You came to cause trouble today, so you must die!"

The men were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they trembled all over. They kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Lady, please spare us! We won't dare to do it again!"

Seeing this, Wan Henghua felt sorry for them and said, "Girl, please spare their lives. Forgive others when you can."

But Tuoba Yu didn't listen at all. She turned her head to look at Wan Henghua and said firmly: "Uncle Wan, just wait on the side."

After saying that, Tuoba Yu no longer hesitated, and with his hands he killed all the men at an extremely fast speed.

For a moment, the house was filled with a bloody smell.

Wan Henghua widened his eyes and was so shocked by the scene that he was speechless.

Tuoba Yuze stood among the corpses with an expressionless face, as if he had just done something insignificant.

The rain was still falling, hitting the windows, making crackling sounds, as if playing a elegy for the tragedy.

Tuoba Yu's face regained its gentleness. She looked at Wan Henghua and said softly, "Uncle Wan, these people deserve to die. They have done many evil things. There is no need to be sad about their death."

Wan Henghua sighed helplessly and shook his head, but then a trace of amazement flashed in his eyes, and he said: "I didn't expect the girl's martial arts skills to be so high, it's really admirable."

Tuoba Yu was also surprised, and murmured to himself: "I don't know, but when danger comes, the body will instinctively resist. Could it be that I was particularly good at fighting before I lost my memory?"

She frowned and tried hard to recall, but still came up blank.

Wan Henghua looked at Tuoba Yu who was lost in thought and comforted her: "Girl, maybe when you recover your memory, everything will be clear."

Tuoba Yu nodded, with a hint of confusion and expectation in his eyes: "I hope so."

There was a complicated atmosphere in the house. The rain outside was still falling, as if telling this unknown mystery.

But Wan Henghua frowned and said seriously: "Girl, the most urgent thing is to deal with the bodies of these people quickly to avoid more trouble."

His eyes were filled with worry and anxiety, and he was thinking that this matter must not bring disaster to his family.

"Uncle Wan, don't worry, I'll take care of it."

After saying that, Tuoba Yu rolled up his sleeves and began to deal with the corpse.

Her expression was focused and calm, and she only wanted to resolve this trouble as soon as possible.

Wan Henghua watched Tuoba Yu's busy figure from the side, feeling both admiration and pity, thinking to himself: This girl looks weak, but she is so responsible.

Tuoba Yu took some effort and finally cleaned up the corpse.

She let out a long sigh, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, "Uncle Wan, everything has been taken care of. It'll be fine." There was a hint of fatigue on her face, but more of it was relaxation after completing the task.

Wan Henghua looked at her gratefully and said, "Girl, thank you for your hard work."

Tuoba Yu smiled slightly and said, "This is nothing."

Wan Henghua stood there in a daze, his body trembling slightly. His face was a little pale, and he murmured to himself with lingering fear: "Oh, I'm really scared! If it weren't for this girl's strong martial arts, I would have really let a wolf into the house and committed a great sin. I am sorry for the girl."

The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt. His brows knitted into a knot, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. (End of this chapter)
