Chapter 251 Return to Lotus Pavilion
When Li Lianhua and the others returned to the Lotus Pavilion, they saw a figure wandering around outside the pavilion in the distance. Upon closer inspection, they realized it was Su Xiaoyong.
"Su Xiaoyong?"
"Brother Li, Wu You, you're back? Did you really go to Shishou Village? And what happened to Afei? Who hurt him?"
Su Xiaoyong looked at the flute flying sound carried by the South Wind Guard, somewhat bewildered. It was fine when it went out, but it had changed form when it returned.
"Miss Su, is there anything I can do for you at Lotus Pavilion?"
Li Lianhua opened the mechanism of the Lotus Pavilion while asking Su Xiaoyong a question.
“I came here to see if you had found Shishou Village. You people left me there one by one and ran away. Of course I had to come and explain myself.”
Su Xiaoyong stood with her hands on her hips, her tone still somewhat angry as she spoke about what happened at the teahouse earlier.
"Our journey is dangerous; we cannot put the girl in danger."
As Li Lianhua spoke, she poured a cup of iced tea for each of them.
"You have no idea how exciting our day and night were," Wu You added from the side.
"First, I encountered a strange man who was like a wild beast, then I encountered the descendants of Nan Yin who created the strange man, and their human head demon. I didn't eat or drink anything all night, and I couldn't sleep at all. I was exhausted."
"What else? What else?" Su Xiaoyong was very curious. Although she had read many stories in her grandfather's study, the things that happened around her and the people around her always felt more real.
"You know our bodyguard Ah Fei is quite skilled, right? Look, he's back lying down. It's a good thing he didn't take you with him, otherwise he might have been in grave danger."
Wu You was trying to scare people, and he would pause deliberately at the crucial points to enhance the atmosphere, almost like he was playing scary background music.
"Is it really that dangerous?" Su Xiaoyong shrank her neck.
"Of course, the monsters in there run faster than wild beasts, and their cries are particularly awful. If you get caught by them, they'll bite your neck right away, and blood will splatter all over your face. The monsters' faces and mouths will be covered in bright red blood."
"No way? Ah, wasn't Fang Duobing always with you guys before? How come he's nowhere to be seen now that you're back? Could it be...?"
Su Xiaoyong hadn't seen Fang Duobing return and was thinking of asking him about it, but then she heard Wu You say that and automatically assumed it was him.
If Fang Duobing hadn't been bitten, how would Wu You have known that when the strange man bit her, blood would spray all over his face?
"Li Lianhua, is Fang Duobing really sick?" Su Xiaoyong turned to look at Li Lianhua, hoping to get a different answer from him. Although she wasn't very familiar with Fang Duobing, they were still friends.
"No, don't overthink it. Fang Duobing is fine. He's just staying in Shishou Village to wait for the people from Baichuan Academy to bring the criminals back. He'll be back soon."
"Oh, thank goodness." Su Xiaoyong patted her chest, completely trusting Li Lianhua's words, before realizing what had happened.
"Fine, Wu You, you actually tried to scare me." Su Xiaoyong glared at Wu You angrily, waiting for her to give her a reasonable explanation.
"I didn't lie to you. I was telling you almost the truth. You just misunderstood."
Although Wu You said that, he still picked up the teapot and refilled Su Xiaoyong's teacup.
"You're just trying to scare me. When I saw that Fang Duobing didn't come back with you, I couldn't help but misunderstand."
Su Xiaoyong raised her teacup and drank the tea, which could be considered as forgiveness for her behavior.
