Chapter 222: Something Happened Behind
Song Yu buried his head in Qing Ling's arms, rubbed it, found a comfortable position, and responded softly: "Yeah."
She was just worried that Ye Xu would do anything to achieve his goal and might do something that would hurt innocent people.
With the example of Huolong Villa in front of him, even if Song Yu accepted that this was a world of a book, he could not calmly watch those living people die like that.
She remembered Ji Qiuyue's words again, it was all fate.
But is such a fate inevitable?
A knot slowly formed in her heart, a knot that kept growing.
Early the next morning, everyone woke up, checked out of the hotel, and started on their journey without stopping.
Because Qingling was worried about Song Yu, he insisted on riding on the same horse with her.
When they passed by a post station, they would exchange horses to prevent the horses from being exhausted from the long journey.
After four days of hurried progress, they finally saw the gate of Bailu City.
Bailu City, nestled between mountains and water, has stunning scenery and is suitable for long-term residence.
There is a small river running through the city.
What they are looking for now is the last thing, the golden armor.
This item belongs to a wealthy family who has lived in Bailu City for generations.
It is said that the ancestor of this rich man was originally a beggar. One day he had a nightmare and met a gentleman who appeared in his dream and helped him out of his predicament.
When I woke up, I found this golden armor around me.
The beggar was overjoyed and wanted to pawn the item immediately, but changed his mind halfway.
He tore off a piece of the golden armor and sold it directly to a gold shop, earning capital and starting his story of making a fortune.
Although there are many versions of this record, the golden armor appears in every version.
But time has passed so long that the true situation is no longer known.
This wealthy family, whose surname is Li, now has many descendants and is said to be rich enough to rival a country.
Song Yu and his friends entered the city and found an inn to stay in. They needed to discuss how to get to the Li family.
After all, the Li family is neither a martial arts sect nor has any personal relationship with any of them.
You can't enter such a wealthy family just by handing in a visiting card.
The best way is to find someone to introduce the Li family, and this person’s relationship with the Li family must be more than just ordinary.
But where can they find such people now?
"Why don't we go in directly, find the head of the Li family, and explain the situation to him." Ji Qiuyue made a timely suggestion.
When she said go in directly, she naturally didn't mean go in through the main door.
Among the people present, except Song Yu and the other three, Fu Zhenghong and Shen Shuyuan all came from famous and upright families.
I'm afraid you would be bothered by these things that happen on the beams.
Ji Qiuyue focused her gaze on the two of them.
Fu Zhenghong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "That's fine. We'll make the final decision in this urgent matter."
Fu Zhenghong had no objection, and Shen Shuyuan naturally had no objection.
But he glanced at Song Yu and said, "Miss Song doesn't have any martial arts skills, so why don't you stay at the inn and wait for our news."
Song Yu looked over and Shen Shuyuan immediately looked away in panic.
Song Yu said, "Brother Shen, don't worry. I won't drag you down."
Shen Shuyuan explained anxiously: "No, no, I'm not afraid of dragging you down, it's just that the dangers of this trip are unknown, and I'm afraid of any accidents."
Song Yu was about to say something, but Qing Ling beside her spoke first: "Okay."
Song Yu looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect Qing Ling to agree.
But she misunderstood Qingling's meaning, and only heard Qingling continue to say: "I will stay with A Yu, you go and find out the news."
Shen Shuyuan thought for a moment and nodded: "That's good." He looked at Fu Zhenghong again.
Fu Zhenghong had no objection and nodded.
Before leaving, he looked at Ji Qiuyue again, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Ji Qiuyue immediately saw what her senior brother had left unsaid.
He spoke first: "I want to go, brother, my martial arts skills are better than yours."
Shen Shuyuan opened his mouth and closed it again. What Ji Qiuyue said was true.
So Fu Zhenghong, Shen Shuyuan and Ji Qiuyue went to Li's house together.
Song Yu, Qing Ling and Ye Shuangbai stayed behind to wait for news.
They didn't stay out all day, they just left when they wanted to.
Song Yu stayed in the inn room. She took out the photo from her bag and looked at it over and over again, but there was nothing special about it.
It's a very ordinary landscape photo, but the most special thing about it is that it appears in a place where it shouldn't be.
If Ye Xu was a transmigrated soul, then this photo could not have been brought by him.
If he was wearing the same clothes as me...
"Qingling, there is something I am curious about." Song Yu suddenly asked.
Qing Ling asked back: "What?"
Song Yu said: "Ye Xu, has it always been like this?"
Qing Ling asked again uncertainly: "What do you mean?"
Song Yu said more bluntly: "For example, has his appearance changed suddenly, or has his martial arts style changed suddenly?"
Qing Ling thought for a moment and said, "I haven't had much contact with Ye Xu. Although the Qingyang Sect and the Wulin Alliance were once sworn enemies, we didn't keep in touch privately.
But a situation like what you described is unheard of in the martial arts world."
Song Yu looked at the photo again after hearing this. If neither of the two assumptions was true, then what else could it be?
They waited in the inn until nightfall, but no news came back.
Song Yu looked out the window worriedly from time to time.
Looking down from the window of the room where they lived, they could see the street.
If the three of them came back and entered through the inn's main door, she would be able to see them.
Song Yu thought of what happened at Hulong Villa. She asked, "Are they safe?"
Qing Ling said: "No, Fu Zhenghong is here."
After listening to this, Song Yu was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes, with Fu Zhenghong here, nothing will go wrong."
Although Qingling said this first, but now that it came out of Song Yu's mouth, Qingling felt a little uncomfortable.
He looked at Song Yu's anxious face and called out, "Ayu, come here."
Song Yu stopped, looked at him, walked to the seat opposite him and sat down, sighed, and leaned on the table.
She was thinking at this moment, it would be great if she could make a phone call, at least she could find out what was going on.
"Knock knock!" There was a sudden knock on the door.
Song Yu was about to get up to open the door when Qing Ling called out, "Ayu!"
At this moment, the windows around were suddenly broken inward.
Countless men in black jumped in through the window.
In the blink of an eye, deadly moves came one after another with unstoppable force.
Qingling wanted to pull Song Yu, but was entangled by five or six men in black.
Then a burst of white powder fell.
Qing Ling held his breath and ruthlessly killed the three men in black in front of him.
"Ayu," he shouted, covering his mouth and nose.
But there was no response, and the attacks from all sides continued to come at him desperately.
When the thick fog cleared, the ground was covered with corpses, but Song Yu was the only one missing.
Qingling immediately chased after him, but there was no trace of the man in black on the street.
His eyes instantly turned red, and his face was so gloomy as if he was about to start a massacre at any moment.
But he didn't. He just took out a flare from his arms and released it into the sky. When it rose to the middle of the air, the flare exploded, and blue fireworks were very rare.
