After listening to Bao Xiruo's heart-wrenching words, Su Yi was momentarily speechless. He was only worried that Yang Tiexin would resent Bao Xiruo for remarrying someone else, but he never expected that the resentment would actually be on Bao Xiruo's side, making her feel inferior...
Really, with the way you act, how can the women of later generations, who jump into bed with anyone and don't know how many hands they've been through by the time they get married, feel about it!
"Kang'er, in any case, quickly take your father out. With your status, it should be easy to send a stranger out. Mother has a special identity and might not be able to leave for now. You need to find your master and have him help sneak Mother out!"
Su Yi looked at Yang Tiexin with a grudge. Of course, he wouldn't despise Yang Tiexin for his ragged clothes and aged appearance, but why... did it feel so awkward when Bao Xiruo mentioned 'your father'?
Su Yi suddenly understood why Yang Kang in the original story was unwilling to recognize Yang Tiexin as his father. What the heck, from one second being a stranger to the next being called 'father'? Isn't this a joke? Anyone would find it hard to say it...
If it weren't for Bao Xiruo's deep love for Su Yi and his own fondness for her, plus the year they spent together, Su Yi might not even recognize her as his mother!
Forget it, no more thinking about this. It's better to get them out first!
Su Yi immediately said, "Alright, since you both need to leave, I'll take you both out directly! When the time comes, whether you become a nun or marry him, it's up to you two to decide. I won't interfere!"
"But can Kang'er secretly take Mother out?" Bao Xiruo asked with some concern, clearly not believing Su Yi's repeated claims of his prowess.
"Hmph, don't underestimate me... watch this!"
Su Yi turned to Yang Tiexin, who was standing there dumbfounded, and said, "Come on, I'll take you out. I need to come back later, so we need to hurry."
"Oh..." Yang Tiexin responded dumbly, still not fully grasping the sudden change of events.
The three of them went outside. Su Yi supported Bao Xiruo and Yang Tiexin by their waists with both hands and lightly leaped, landing on the roof. He glanced back at the house, thinking he probably wouldn't come here again. It was a place he had stayed in often, and Bao Xiruo, who was not at all reluctant, made him feel a bit nostalgic.
But the feeling of reluctance flashed through his mind only briefly. Su Yi's figure darted, and in the howling night wind, he moved like a large bat, swiftly heading out...
Su Yi's lightness skills were so advanced that even ordinary soldiers wouldn't notice him, let alone someone like Ouyang Ke, who would likely not detect any abnormality if they were slightly careless. The three of them safely reached the outside of the mansion without any trouble.
Su Yi said, "Let's find a place to stay for now? Mu Nianci is still in the mansion, and I need to go back to pick her up!"
Yang Tiexin, hearing his daughter's name, quickly said, "Let's go to the inn where I stayed before. It's very secluded and should be safe for now!"
"Alright!"
Su Yi didn't stop, following Yang Tiexin's directions to the inn.
They arrived at the room where Yang Tiexin and his daughter had stayed, and Su Yi set Bao Xiruo and Yang Tiexin down. Bao Xiruo, who was afraid of heights, had her eyes tightly closed. Su Yi smiled slightly and said, "Mother, we're here."
Bao Xiruo timidly opened one eye, realizing they were in a different place, and then opened both eyes, looking at Su Yi in disbelief. "Kang'er, how can you be so skilled? Liang Xianweng and the others said your martial arts were weak!"
Su Yi smiled and said, "Do you believe them? I've always told you I'm very skilled, but you didn't believe me. Well, I need to go pick up Mu Nianci... you two rest here for now. Once everyone is out, we'll leave the city together!"
It was strange, when facing Mu Nianci, Su Yi could easily call her 'sister,' but in front of Yang Tiexin, he couldn't bring himself to say it, feeling like he would lose if he did.
He opened the door and looked back at the two people behind him. Yang Tiexin was staring at Bao Xiruo with intense eyes, while Bao Xiruo was sitting on the bed, head down, not saying a word, clearly still troubled by her feelings.
After some thought, Su Yi moved his lips, and a faint voice drifted to Yang Tiexin, "My mother married Wanyan Honglie for my sake eighteen years ago. If you have any grievances, don't bother her anymore. Let her live out her days in peace... If you don't mind, try to persuade her. She seems very troubled by her perceived disloyalty to you and is thinking of becoming a nun."
Yang Tiexin's body stiffened, and his eyes filled with compassion and happiness as he looked at Bao Xiruo.
Su Yi pursed his lips and closed the door from the outside, preparing to go pick up Mu Nianci.
However, he suddenly stopped after a few steps, listening carefully. From a distant room, he heard faint coughing, a familiar sound, clearly Wang Chuyi from earlier!
"He is indeed injured!" Su Yi thought with surprise, "I didn't expect Guo Jing's martial arts to have improved so much that he still managed to injure Wang Chuyi. I wonder if it's a poison injury!"
He didn't rush to the mansion and instead turned to the room where Wang Chuyi was staying.
At the door, the suppressed coughing became clearer. Su Yi confirmed it was Wang Chuyi and pushed the door open.
"Who's there?!"
A voice pretending to be fine sounded, but Su Yi, with his deep inner strength, easily detected the hollow tone, indicating serious internal injuries.
Turning to look, he saw Wang Chuyi sitting there, trying to maintain his composure. Upon seeing Su Yi, his straight posture slumped, and he coughed, smiling bitterly. "Prince Wanyan, are you here to take the old Taoist's life?"
Hearing Wang Chuyi's words, Su Yi immediately understood that he must have mistaken him for someone trying to kill him. He explained, "Uncle, that's a bit much. While you were at the mansion, I took my mother out secretly. From today on, there will be no more Prince or Princess... As for your injury, I truly didn't know about it."
"What did you say? You took your mother out of the mansion?" Wang Chuyi asked in surprise.
"Yes, she is in the room opposite you."
...
"You've done a great deed, Kang'er. I didn't misjudge you!" Despite his severe injuries, Wang Chuyi praised him with satisfaction.
Seeing the deep blue color on Wang Chuyi's face, Su Yi asked, "Uncle, are you injured? What kind of injury is it?"
Wang Chuyi sighed and said, "I was careless and was injured by Lingzhi Shangren's poisonous palm. Although I expelled the poison, some remains. Jing'er has gone to buy medicine, but all the medicine in the mansion has been bought up. He said he would go to other towns, but with the mansion's influence, it might be hard to find the medicine... It seems that even if I survive today, I will become a cripple!"
It's exactly the same as the plot!
Su Yi's heart sank. He suddenly remembered that Guo Jing would probably go back to the mansion... But with Mei Chaofeng gone, he wondered if Guo Jing would be in danger!
Recalling what the main god had said, that the protagonist must not die before obtaining enough fortune, Su Yi was startled. He thought that with Wang Chuyi and Guo Jing's abilities, they should be able to protect themselves, but the plot had returned to its original course, and Wang Chuyi was indeed injured...
"Uncle, let me see your injury!"
Without further ado, Su Yi sat cross-legged next to Wang Chuyi, grabbed his hand, and quickly transferred the Nine Yang True Qi into his body.
"Kang'er, how... is this possible?!" Before he could finish, Wang Chuyi's face was already full of shock. He felt a powerful and pure true qi flow from Su Yi's hand into his meridians, instantly relieving his body, which had been tormented by the remaining poison. His fingers tingled, and black liquid began to seep out. In just a short moment, the poison was being forced out of his body by this powerful true qi.
Wang Chuyi quickly closed his eyes and focused on expelling the poison, feeling an immense sense of awe and shock. He thought that Guo Jing's inner strength was already the best among the young generation, but he never expected that his nephew would surpass Guo Jing. The true qi in his body was pure, deep, and seemingly endless. Even his master in his prime might not have been much stronger than him!
"The young people these days! One is better than the other, we are getting old..."
Wang Chuyi couldn't help feeling a bit lost. The world really wasn't theirs anymore. But thinking about the future duel between Guo and Yang, he suddenly felt full of anticipation... Wondering what kind of fierce battle it would be!
