Chapter 704 Journey to the Mountains and Seas 12
“Tang Rou’s condition can’t be delayed any longer. If something happens to him on the way, you know medicine and can keep an eye on him. Besides, it’s easier for me to get away alone,” Xiao Qiushui said, shaking her head.
Seeing Xiao Qiushui's resolute attitude, the others had no choice but to compromise, mainly because Tang Rou's health really couldn't be delayed any longer.
Deng Yuhan said with difficulty, "Then, boss, take care. Chao Ran and I will come to find you after we've settled Tang Rou in."
"Yes, boss, wait for us."
"Okay, you all need to be careful too." Xiao Qiushui smiled at Tang Rou one last time, then turned and ran off in one direction.
Seeing this, Tang Fang had no choice but to lead Tang Rou away in another direction with the others.
Xiao Qiushui deliberately led the people from the Power Gang in one direction, and along the way he was thinking of a way to escape.
He just said he had a plan, but he didn't want everyone to worry. He hadn't thought of a plan yet, so he could only escape first.
*
"Cough, cough cough cough~" Xiao Qiushui coughed weakly incessantly.
He woke up in a dilapidated thatched hut and recalled what had happened. Not only did his whole body ache, but when he gently moved his legs, he felt only weakness and pain.
He was on the run for his life and hadn't even thought of a way to escape when the Sword King and his men caught up with him.
During the fight, he was no match for the Sword King on his own, especially since he was already injured.
Sword King Qu Hanshan directly crippled his martial arts and meridians, and even severed his tendons in his hands and feet to prevent him from escaping.
If Qu Hanshan hadn't yet obtained the Hero's Token, he probably would already be dead.
Having learned that the Sword King was actually the renowned martial arts master Qu Hanshan, he knew that falling into his hands meant certain death sooner or later.
Later, Liu Suifeng arrived with his men. Both sides wanted to take Xiao Qiushui away, and they started fighting after exchanging only a few words.
I was being dragged along, and somehow I ended up at the edge of a cliff and fell off.
If he still has his martial arts skills, falling down won't be a problem, but if he loses his skills and falls off a cliff, it's hard to say.
At that moment, Xiao Qiushui only felt a sharp pain at the end, then everything went black and she fainted. She didn't know what happened after that.
When I woke up again, I was in this dilapidated thatched hut.
Footsteps grew closer outside the door, and Liu Suifeng stepped in, holding a plain fan.
He sat down at the table, poured himself a bowl of water, and then asked, "Awake?"
Xiao Qiushui looked at him and had a guess in her mind: "Liu Suifeng, you deliberately had someone push me off the cliff, didn't you?"
He immediately sensed something was wrong and, upon careful recollection of the events, realized he felt as if he had been pushed down.
Considering that he was taken away by Liu Suifeng, it's not hard to guess that he did it on purpose and had been preparing for it.
Liu Suifan fanned himself and glanced at him: "You're quite clever. If I hadn't had someone push you down, you'd be in the Sword King's hands right now."
"What's the difference? Aren't they all people from your Power Gang? They're all equally ruthless and won't give up until they achieve their goals," Xiao Qiushui mocked.
"The Sword King crippled you, but I saved you."
"You didn't have good intentions when you saved me, and you caused my injuries to get worse. You're all just after the Hero's Token."
"Since you know, the sooner you tell us where the Order of Heroes of the World is, the less trouble you'll suffer."
Speaking of this, Xiao Qiushui was speechless: "I've said it so many times along the way, I don't know where it is, why are you all chasing after me?"
"He won't shed a tear until he sees the coffin." Liu Suifeng lost his patience and prepared to poison Xiao Qiushui to force her to confess.
Just then, a sudden voice came from outside, interrupting their conversation.
"Are you playing a game of captivity? I hope I haven't disturbed you?"
As soon as Wen Piaoran entered, she saw Xiao Qiushui lying on the couch, dressed in a white undergarment, looking weak and pitiful.
He was filled with resentment as he looked at Liu Suifeng, a seemingly irresponsible scumbag sitting at the table with a cold face, as if he had been forced into something.
If the two of them weren't sitting side by side, she really wouldn't want to ruin the atmosphere; she would have waited until later to come in.
I heard that familiar voice, with a teasing tone, coming from outside the door.
The two looked toward the doorway and saw Wen Piaoran, dressed in a light blue ancient costume, strolling in.
As she moved, the pearls and jade ornaments in her hair swayed slightly, and she still wore a half-face mask, revealing only her curved lips and delicate chin.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Liu Suifeng is trying to torture me to force me to reveal the whereabouts of the Hero's Token. I have no idea where it is."
Xiao Qiushui thought she was saved. When she first heard Wen Piaoran's voice, it felt like heavenly music.
But soon, he was speechless at what she said.
Although it can now be fully confirmed that Wen Piaoran and I are from the same place, what she said is really shocking.
Upon hearing this, Wen Piaoran feigned curiosity, her gaze towards them carrying an ambiguous undertone: "Oh? How will you be tortured? Bondage play? Is it the kind of torture where you're whipped?"
"Ning Qi! What kind of filthy thoughts are in your head? We need to get out of here now, please, grandma, hurry up."
"Fine, I'll do it since you begged me."
"You two seem to be taking me far too lightly," Liu Suifeng's sinister voice rang out.
He had just overheard some strange things Wen Piaoran said, though he didn't quite understand their deeper meaning.
Judging from Xiao Qiushui's reaction, it was clear that it wasn't anything nice.
These two are both unconventional in their speech and actions, which is probably why they can be like-minded.
Moreover, they actually discussed leaving right in front of him—those two despicable people.
Upon hearing this, Wen Piaoran recalled the aggrieved look on Liu Suifeng's face when he saw him last time: "Vice Gang Leader Liu, I don't really want to lay a hand on you, and you don't want things to turn out like last time, do you?"
So that when you go home to meet your parents, you don't look like you're about to cry, making them feel like you've bullied them.
"You dare bring up last time!!!" It would have been better if she hadn't brought up last time, because as soon as she did, Liu Suifeng remembered how she had deliberately broken his belt.
"What happened last time?" Xiao Qiushui was a little curious to see Liu Suifeng suddenly change his expression and break down.
I feel that I don't need to leave right away; I'll wait and see.
Wen Piaoran's arrival here indicates that his parents' situation has been settled. He wrote to her a few days ago, asking for her help in settling his parents.
The fact that she came to rescue me means that things are temporarily alright over there. Tang Rou hasn't caused any more trouble, so she should be fine too.
"It's nothing," Wen Piaoran smiled.
Seeing that the person involved had already turned pale, she still didn't intend to say anything, nor did she want to push them too far.
However, Liu Suifeng was in a bad mood, and since he had not yet found out the whereabouts of the Hero's Token, and just like before, she ruined things at the crucial moment.
He didn't even want to ask how she found him anymore, feeling that this person was there to bring him bad luck.
Wen Piaoran shrugged: Can I say it was an accident?
