"This?" Su Yan was dumbfounded.
"Ah Liu." Feng Muting walked quickly towards him and took his hand. "Don't worry, Grand Preceptor Mo will have a way. He will definitely save Bai Yulang."
“But Tinglang, you’ve seen it yourself. Xiao Shixun is so ruthless that he can kill even his own confidants without hesitation. If, if he finds out, not only Shilang, but even the Grand Preceptor Mo himself will be in danger.”
How could Su Fuliu not be worried? This Xiao Shixun was a ruthless killer, capable of anything extreme.
"I trust Grand Preceptor Mo." In truth, Feng Muting wasn't entirely sure either, but he couldn't reassure Su Fuliu without saying so. "I've also arranged for secret guards to follow us. If anything really happens, we'll have to fight to the death."
Su Fuliu shook her head: "If it really comes down to a fight to the death, then it must be because something has already happened to the Imperial Preceptor Mo and Shilang."
Feng Muting hugged him and comforted him, "No, I believe they will be alright. They will definitely come back safely."
"I'm so useless." Su Fuliu felt terrible. Xiao Shixun's target was him, but he was still here, while Lu Chimo risked his life to save Bai Yulang.
“Ah Liu, don’t think like that. It’s not that you’re useless, it’s that I don’t dare let you take the risk. I’m afraid you’ll go crazy if you see Xiao Shixun, so I had National Preceptor Mo temporarily seal your inner strength. So it would be in vain if you went. National Preceptor Mo is extremely intelligent and will definitely be able to rescue Bai Yulang.” Feng Muting patted his back gently and said softly.
Unable to do anything, Su Fuliu could only pray in her heart that Lu Chimo would be alright and that Bai Yulang could be rescued safely.
But after hearing Feng Muting's words, he couldn't help but ask, "Does Tinglang think I'm stupid?"
Although he knew he was indeed quite stupid, not understanding other people's intricacies, nor knowing how to offer intricacies to others.
Chapter 512 You Need to Be More Confident
“It’s not that A-Liu is stupid, it’s that A-Liu is too naive. People’s hearts are hard to understand, how could a kind-hearted A-Liu possibly figure them out?” Feng Muting explained.
Su Fuliu sighed softly.
Seeing his reaction, Feng Muting continued, "A-Liu simply doesn't understand the complexities of human nature, but in other aspects, A-Liu's performance can be described as outstanding. To put it broadly, in terms of reviewing memorials and handling national affairs, you are far more capable than me. To put it more simply, in poetry, songs, drinking, and cooking, you are better than me in every aspect. Your medical skills are the best in the world, and even your martial arts are superior to mine. You are so outstanding that I feel somewhat unworthy of you."
"Tinglang, don't say that."
"Silly girl, you need to be more confident. You are wonderful, the best in the world, unparalleled, flawless. Your Tinglang is so lucky to have you; it's the result of his many lifetimes of good fortune." Feng Muting rested his forehead on Su Fuliu's forehead, speaking the most beautiful words.
“Tinglang…” Su Fuliu’s nose tingled, and her eyes welled up with tears again.
Standing to the side, Su Yan stared wide-eyed at Feng Muting, almost giving their prince a thumbs up. He couldn't help but envy the sweet words he uttered.
He shouldn't have just stood there dumbfounded.
Xiao Shixun brought "Su Fuliu" back to the inn. "Su Fuliu" thought she would see Bai Yulang when she went in, but there was nothing in the room.
"Where is Shilang?" Su Fuliu asked.
"What's the rush? Once we leave this place, I will naturally have him released. Let's catch up for now," Xiao Shixun said with a smile.
Su Fuliu frowned: "I have nothing to reminisce about with you!"
"Is that so? You don't want to settle those old scores anymore?" Xiao Shixun walked over to "Su Fuliu".
Seeing him approach, Su Fuliu stepped back and said, "I don't want to settle old scores with you right now. I just want you to release Shilang as soon as possible. You said you would release Shilang after we left, but who knows if you will go back on your word!"
"Even if I break my promise, what can you do to me?" Xiao Shixun forced Su Fuliu to the bedside.
Su Fuliu's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "I've already agreed to go with you, what else do you want? As long as you release Shilang now, I'll let you do whatever you want with me. You can kill me or torture me as you please."
"Do whatever you want with me? Do as you please?" Xiao Shixun laughed loudly, then suddenly pushed "Su Fuliu" down on the bed, pinning her down. "Who was it that said it was disgusting? It was you. You said I was disgusting, that you felt disgusted that I wanted to be with you!"
Su Fuliu stared wide-eyed at Xiao Shixun, who looked like a madman.
So it turns out that Xiao Shixun had feelings for Su Fuliu...
"Now that you're with Feng Muting, you don't feel disgusted anymore?" Xiao Shixun suddenly roared.
Su Fuliu was speechless for a moment.
He looked at Xiao Shixun, whose expression was somewhat distorted, and his mind was racing: "I have already agreed to go with you, so why do you still care about these things? No matter what happened between me and the prince, it's over now. As long as you release Shilang, I will listen to whatever you say from now on."
"If only you had been this obedient earlier." Xiao Shixun raised his right hand, wanting to touch "Su Fuliu's" face.
Taking advantage of a free hand, Su Fuliu quickly pulled out a silver needle and swiftly inserted it into Xiao Shixun's waist.
Chapter 513 Let's Die Together
The silver needle pierced through, and Xiao Shixun merely frowned slightly. He then grabbed Su Fuliu's restless hand, narrowed his eyes, and said, "I just praised you for being good, and this is how you react?"
Su Fuliu frowned slightly. His silver needles had penetrated so deeply, yet this guy only frowned slightly. Didn't he feel any pain?!
"Who told you not to release Shilang?" Su Fuliu's eyes flickered as she spoke.
"I said, as long as you come back with me, I will release him." Xiao Shixun stared intently at "Su Fuliu," as if he were about to devour him whole.
"I already said I'll go with you, but you have to release Shilang now!"
"You still always think of others, you only know how to care for others, but never how to care for yourself." Xiao Shixun smiled and spoke gently.
Those who don't know the situation might think he and Su Fuliu have a very good relationship, but little do they know that he is the one who dragged Su Fuliu from heaven to hell.
But then his eyes darkened, and he leaned down to kiss "Su Fuliu," but "Su Fuliu" dodged in time.
Enraged, Xiao Shixun suddenly grabbed Su Fuliu's neck with both hands and roared at him, "Are you that disgusting to me?! You and that Feng Muting have probably done everything you should and shouldn't have done, haven't you? Aren't you disgusted by doing it with him?!"
Su Fuliu reached out and grabbed Xiao Shixun's hand, trying to pry it open.
But Xiao Shixun, with red eyes, gripped his neck tightly, as if he really wanted to strangle him to death.
"Jing'er, you are mine, you can only be mine. Hell is so cold, come down and stay with me, okay? Let's die together..." As he spoke, Xiao Shixun tightened his grip even more.
Seeing that she couldn't pull Xiao Shixun's hand away, Su Fuliu took out several silver needles and stabbed Xiao Shixun again.
But Xiao Shixun seemed to feel no pain at all; after a few silver needles were inserted, he didn't even frown.
Xiao Shixun scoffed: "Even if you stab me with a knife, I won't feel any pain. From childhood to adulthood, I've never gone a day without being beaten by my mother. She beat me so badly that there wasn't a single good spot on my body. Back then, I would cry from the pain and beg my mother to let me go. But gradually, I stopped feeling pain."
Looking at Xiao Shixun, who couldn't even be described as a madman, Su Fuliu thought, "It's fortunate that it's him. If it were the real Su Fuliu, how could he possibly handle this?"
This Xiao Shixun is fearless of pain and death; he's completely possessed.
Su Fuliu, who was struggling to breathe due to Xiao Shixun's choking, gave up using silver needles and instead focused her inner strength, intending to open Xiao Shixun's mouth with a single palm strike.
Just then, Yuan Sichen's urgent voice came from outside the door: "Master, Xiao Shilang has bitten his tongue and committed suicide!"
Before Xiao Shixun could react, "Su Fuliu" suddenly slapped Xiao Shixun on the shoulder.
Xiao Shixun was opened, and "Su Fuliu" rolled off the bed.
"Your martial arts have recovered?" Xiao Shixun looked at "Su Fuliu" who was running out like a madman with a puzzled expression, and then stepped forward to try to stop "Su Fuliu".
Without saying a word, Su Fuliu started fighting him.
Xiao Shixun frowned: "You are not Xiao Shijing at all!"
He knew Xiao Shijing's martial arts moves, but this person was not using Xiao Shijing's martial arts moves at all.
Most importantly, if Xiao Shijing were to regain his martial arts skills, he would certainly not be as lucid as he is now when he uses his internal energy...
Chapter 514 He Cannot Die
Su Fuliu didn't speak; he was only thinking about how to get rid of Xiao Shixun and go see Bai Yulang.
Hearing the sounds of fighting coming from inside, Yuan Sichen, who was outside, hadn't even rushed in to help when he saw the door being kicked to pieces from the inside.
If he hadn't dodged in time, he probably would have been hit.
Su Fuliu rushed out, looked around, and seeing that the door to the opposite room was open, ran straight over: "Yulang, Yulang!"
But when they ran inside, they only saw two ropes lying on the ground. Then they saw a person preparing to escape through the window.
The one who escaped was none other than Bai Yulang, whom Yuan Sichen had mentioned as having "committed suicide by biting his tongue."
Bai Yulang was about to escape through the window when he heard Lu Chimo's voice. He was stunned. When he turned around, he saw Su Fuliu standing at the door, and he was dumbfounded again.
"Brother!" Bai Yulang immediately climbed down from the window and ran towards "Su Fuliu".
Su Fuliu let out a heavy sigh of relief and hugged Bai Yulang tightly in her arms.
"Wait a minute, brother, how come you've grown so much taller?" Bai Yulang looked up and glanced at him.
At this moment, Yuan Sichen looked at Bai Yulang, who was still alive, and while he was surprised, he also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Xiao Shilang used to be very methodical and wouldn't have been so "cunning" as to pretend to be dead to deceive him.
Furthermore, the rope on the ground was clearly untied, not broken, considering that he had tied a knot that was impossible to untie.
Before Su Fuliu could explain, he hugged Bai Yulang tightly, then immediately let go of him and turned to stand in front of Bai Yulang.
Xiao Shixun seemed to have gone mad, but before he could rush over, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"Master." Yuan Sichen went over to help Xiao Shixun, but Xiao Shixun pushed him away.
Xiao Shixun raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. He glanced at the black blood on the back of his hand and laughed: "Is the silver needle poisoned?"
“You should be thankful that this isn’t a deadly poison that kills instantly, allowing you to live a few more hours,” said Su Fuliu.
Bai Yulang looked at "Su Fuliu" in confusion. How could this person have his brother's face but his senior brother's voice?
That figure clearly resembles his senior brother's back...
That embrace just now was clearly his senior brother's embrace, wasn't it?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shixun was not afraid at all; instead, he was as happy as a child: "You should also be glad that this is not a deadly poison that can kill instantly, which will allow me to live a few more hours."
Su Fuliu was somewhat puzzled when Xiao Shixun repeated his words.
Xiao Shixun burst into laughter, and Su Fuliu felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing his laughter.
"I'll wait. I'll wait for Xiao Shijing to bring the antidote himself. I'll stay in the capital and not go anywhere else. Don't worry about not being able to find me. Remember, I only want Xiao Shijing to deliver the antidote personally. I won't accept any antidote from anyone else." After saying this, Xiao Shixun laughed again and then turned and left.
Yuan Sichen glanced at Bai Yulang and then quickly followed.
Su Fuliu did not understand Xiao Shixun's meaning, but Bai Yulang did.
"Senior brother, you...you poisoned Xiao Shixun?" Bai Yulang asked, his eyes wide with fear.
Su Fuliu raised his hand and tore off the human skin mask from his face, restoring his original appearance. Looking at Bai Yulang's terrified expression, he immediately sensed something was wrong: "What's wrong? He can't die?"
Chapter 515 The Secret Gu of Leaving the Border
Bai Yulang shook his head: "He can't die now. If he dies, my brother will die."
