The Legendary Siblings Chapter 109
Hua Wu Que did not find Tie Xin Lan at all. Tue Xin Lan seemed to have disappeared mysteriously.
With Hua Wu Que’s lightness skill, no matter which direction Tie Xin Lan had gone, he will certainly be able to catch up, but he searched the whole of Turtle Hill and can’t find even her shadow. By the time he returned dejectedly, Wei Wu Ya’s cave has already been sealed.
This change of event caused Hua Wu Que to be shocked and at a loss, he shouted madly but no one responded. Obviously the Floral Princesses and Xiao Yu’er have been sealed in the cave, or they would not have left without a word. Hua Wu Que only felt his limbs go numb, at a loss as to what to do.
By the time he borrowed a shovel and an axe from a woodcutter in the hills, the sun is slowly setting, and the light from the setting sun shone on the ground, the dusk seems to be bloody red.
He used all his strength and started to cut into the mountain. At the beginning, the rocks seem to be very weak beneath his shovel, but later it became harder and harder, as hard as steel.
He knows that his strength is slowly weakening, but he cannot stop. He does not even know what has happened in the cave, and he is almost going crazy. By now night is falling, in the boundless twilight, a shadow suddenly appeared. She did not speak, but just stood there quietly, looking at Hua Wu Que morosely. Although Hua Wu Que did not hear her voice, but his senses seemed to have detected something, and he slowly stopped working and quickly turned around.
Then, he became like this shadow, standing there in a daze, unable to move. Never did he imagine that the person standing in front of him now, is actually Tue Xin Lan, whom he was unable to find earlier. As he was searching for Tie Xin Lan all over the mountain earlier, his thoughts were like his steps, never stopping.
He thought of many things that he wanted to say to Tie Xin Lan. But now, although he is facing Tie Xin Lan, he can’t even speak a single sentence. Tie Xin Lan did not say anything either, and dare not even look directly at him, but quietly lowered her head, fiddling with her clothes that was blown up by the wind.
“You… where did you go earlier?”
Tie Xin Lan’s head lowered further and said, “I did not go anywhere, I’ve always been here.” The corners of Hua Wu Que’s lips moved, as if he wanted to smile, but did not.
Therefore he lowered his head as well and said, “So you did not go far at all, no wonder I couldn’t find you…”
Tie Xin Lan blinked her eyes and asked, “Did you see Wei Wu Ya earlier?”
Hua Wu Que replied, “I did not, there was no one in there at all, but I think Wei Wu Ya must have hidden himself and while they were caught off guard, sealed off all exits.”
Tie Xin Lan lowered her head and smiled, “It seems that you really have a suspicious nature.” Hua Wu Que can’t help but lower his head and smiled as well, and realized that he is still holding Tie Xin Lan’s hands. His heart skipped, and immediately wanted to release his hold.
But who would have expected that Tie Xin Lan would actually grab his hands unconsciously and said, “This cave has been sealed by your Teacher, it seems that she does not wish for others to go in again, I just hate myself… hate myself for not going in to take a look earlier.” Hua Wu Que only felt his heart beating very quickly. He heaved a long sigh and forced a smile, “Actually there’s nothing much to see inside.”
Tie Xin Lan replied, “I hear that Wei Wu Ya loved to collect treasures, there are many things which are rarely seen in this world, didn’t you see any?”
Hua Wu Que replied, “I did not see anything, maybe he took them all away.”
Tie Xin Lan said, “Maybe you did not take any notice at all.”
Hua Wu Que wanted to say something else, but suddenly realized that her eyes looked strange. Her eyes used to be clean and clear, it’s just that these past few days, it showed a hint of worry, making one’s heart break on seeing it. But now, her eyes seems extremely sharp, as cunning as a fox, and carried with it an evil air which made one’s hair stand.
In the darkness of the night, her figure and movement, her expression and face, is the same as Tie Xin lan, only this pair of eyes… This pair of eyes can never belong to Tie Xin Lan. Hua Wu Que felt a chill in his heart, and thought of retreating.
But it is too late by now!
Hua Wu Que felt his palms go numb, and the numbness spread to his limbs. With his last ounce of strength, he sliced over with a backhand, but this ‘Tie Xin Lan’ has already retreated twenty, thirty feet. He wanted to give chase, but he can no longer move his arms and legs.
‘Tie Xin Lan’ smiled, “Hua Wu Que oh Hua Wu Que, seems that you’re a lot worse than Xiao Yu’er. If it’s Xiao Yu’er, he would have seen through me before I speak my third sentence.”
A thought flashed through Hua Wu Que, and he suddenly remembered the name ‘Neither Man nor Woman’ Du Jiao Jiao, but now he could not even stand properly, and before he could utter a word, he collapsed.
Someone was heard laughing icily, “You need not be too smug, from what I see, your art of disguise is quite sloppy as well, didn’t he still see through it in the end?”
Du Jiao Jiao laughed, “That’s right, he did see through it in the end, but that’s just because I did not have the time to learn more about Tie Xin Lan’s look. I only studied her for an hour, if you can give me half a day’s time, this lad may not even be able to see through me during the day.”
Hua Wu Que has more or less guessed who these few people are, and also knows that now he has fallen in their hands, it’s like a fat sheep being sent to the slaughterhouse. But he was not worried about his own situation at all, because he knows that the situation the Floral Princesses and Tie Xin Lan is in must be more dangerous than his.
Li Da Zui walked over with a big laugh and looked Hua Wu Que up and down thoroughly, his tongue clicking.
After clicking his tongue a few tines, he mumbled, “Good, good, very good, such good meat, there may not be even one in ten thousand people. It’s just that it’s a little too thin, if it was stewed, there’ll be too little oil.”
As he spoke, he seemed to be salivating, and he reached out his hand, as if he is going to squeeze Hua Wu Que’s neck, like an old woman going to the market to buy chicken. Hua Wu Que was anxious and furious, but he could not stop him at all. Du Sha suddenly called out, “Stop!”
Li Da Zui’s arm retracted halfway and said with a laugh, “I am not killing him now, what does it matter that I’m only squeezing him a little?”
Du Sha said coldly, “This person can be considered one of the heroes of our time. I may not be able to win him in a fight, but at least I must treat him with courtesy. It doesn’t matter if you kill him, but you cannot humiliate him!”
Only now did Hua Wu Que hear something that is more befitting to a human, and can’t help but heave a long sigh and say, “Thank you.”
Hua Wu Que was silent for a moment before saying solemnly, “I am now in your hands, and have disregarded death, so I dare not ask for the word ‘respect’, it’s just that Tie Xin Lan…” He stared at Du Sha and said each word clearly, “Have Tie Xin Lan landed in your hands as well?” He did not ask anyone else, only Du Sha, because he can tell that among these five people, only this person with a murderous air will not lie.
Du Sha really replied, “Yes.”
Hua Wu Que still ignored the others, and only stared at Du Sha, “If you will let her go, I will die with no complains.”
Du Sha replied, “I don’t mind telling you, her father is my sworn friend, I wouldn’t make things difficult for her. Although Tie Zhan is considered one of the ‘Ten Evils’ but besides his proud character, if we consider only his deeds and his stout stature, he is definitely not below those people who consider themselves heroes…”
Hua Wu Que sighed, “Since you have said that, I am relieved. I would like to ask, my Teacher…”
He just said two sentences and Du Jiao Jiao interrupted with a smile, “You should put your mind at ease about this as well, they have been trapped by Wei Wu Ya in the cave, unless someone can borrow the mountain splitting axe from Ri Lian Valley, or else they can forget about coming out for the rest of their lives.”
Hua Wu Que felt his body turn cold, “Is this real?” Du Sha replied seriously, “I did not see them coming out.”
Hua Wu Que closed his eyes, no longer speaking.
