Chapter 221 Genius
When Rong Su and Xiao Hei returned to Hutou Gate, before they even stepped through the gate, a familiar rough voice came from inside.
"Third sister!"
When I looked up, it was Yan Liang.
Rong Su silently asked Zhou Di who was also walking towards here. Zhou Di avoided her gaze, then shrugged with a helpless expression.
At this time, Yan Liang had already walked in front of her, and his originally surprised expression instantly turned serious and unhappy.
"Well, you didn't even bother to tell me, your big brother, that you're here. Are you treating me like an outsider?"
Rong Su didn't know how to explain it, and could only helplessly appease the concern of this big brother.
"Right now, I'm investigating the Bai Tiao Men incident. I don't want to implicate Big Brother in this matter. Big Brother has already been worried enough about the mining city, and the world is unstable right now. I don't want to trouble Big Brother even more."
Yan Liang didn't feel comfortable at all. He glared at me with an unhappy look on his face. "So you're bothering me too, second brother? What's the matter? Are you worried that I'm not capable enough? Do you dislike your big brother?"
Knowing that no matter how she explained, she couldn't calm down this old man with a volatile temper, Rong Su could only lower her head and accept being beaten and scolded.
Yan Liang was a little angry at first, but when he saw Rong Su looking like a little kid who had been wronged, all his anger disappeared. He raised a finger, gently poked her forehead, and spoke to her in a bad mood.
"If you need my help in the future, you must come to me first! Otherwise, including today, I will make you angry for ten days and eight days!"
Rong Su felt helpless and looked at Zhou Di. They both smiled at the same time.
Zhou Di played the role of peacemaker, smoothing things over and saying, "Okay, big brother, Third Sister just came back from Bai Tiao Gate, don't block her way in. Third Sister, tell me what you encountered there."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Di could actually predict this. Rong Su looked at him again. He seemed to have noticed her gaze and directly expressed his thoughts.
"They were able to send spies into Hutou Gate, block the news of Baitiao Gate, and use this incident to lure you back. Their purpose must be to get you back to Baitiao Gate. There must be an ambush, right?"
Rong Su immediately admired Zhou Di's cleverness and said, "Second brother, you are so smart. As you said, I met the killer there."
When the killer was mentioned, Yan Liang suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Rong Su nervously: "Third sister, are you hurt?"
Rong Su thanked Yan Liang for his concern and shook her head: "I'm fine. Just some minor injuries."
Yan Liang, however, disagreed. He turned to look at Zhou Di with a glare on his face and chided him, "You too! Since you already knew there was an ambush, why didn't you go with your third sister? How can you be the second brother?"
Facing Yan Liang's scolding, Zhou Di looked at Rong Su innocently. He didn't dare to say anything and just endured the scolding silently.
Seeing Yan Liang about to take action, Rong Su quickly reached out to stop him: "Hey, big brother! It's not like that. Actually, I don't want my second brother to get involved in this matter. And I also hope that you don't get involved in this matter. I can handle this matter myself."
Upon hearing this, Yan Liang stopped raising his hand, turned to look at Rong Su, frowned, and clearly disagreed with her statement.
"You want me, your big brother, to watch you put yourself in danger? I can't do that!"
With Yan Liang around, Zhou Di also followed his words and expressed his own opinions.
"Yes, Third Sister, you can't deal with those people alone. They can plant spies in the Tiger Head Gate, which shows that their power is not to be underestimated."
Rong Su was silent. She didn't want Zhou Di to tell Yan Liang at first because she was afraid that this situation would happen.
She knew what kind of person Yan Liang was, and she also knew what kind of person Zhou Di was.
In a week, she could still convince him not to interfere, but then there was Yan Liang, a man who couldn't bear to see his own people suffer even the slightest harm, so she was afraid that they would be implicated because of her.
Seeing Rong Su was silent, Yan Liang was like a depressed adult who didn't know how to talk to a young child. He paced back and forth on the spot. After walking for a while, he looked at Rong Su and said:
"Third sister, if you don't want us to get involved, we can choose not to get involved, but you have to bring our people with you to protect you. Is that okay?"
Ah, this, Rong Su thought, what’s the difference between this and you guys interfering?
Her eyes seemed to express her thoughts at the moment very well. Yan Liang also noticed it. He raised his hand and scratched the back of his head with a distressed look on his face.
"So what do you want from me? I really can't bear to see you in danger. If anything happens to you, how can I face your mother? You are the only daughter of my most important benefactor!"
Yan Liang's hair was about to be pulled out by him, and Zhou Di stepped forward at the right time to make a suggestion.
"How about this, Third Sister? Let's each take a step back. I'll arrange for Ajin to follow you and protect you."
"Ajin?" When Rong Su heard this name, the young man who was surrounded at the gate when he came here a few days ago suddenly appeared in his mind.
Yan Liang seemed to know Ajin as well, and his eyes lit up immediately: "That's great, Third Sister, let Ajin protect you. His martial arts skills are pretty good."
Rong Su was puzzled: "Isn't Ajin also from the Tiger Head Sect?"
Zhou Di suddenly laughed. "A Jin isn't really a disciple of the Tiger Head Sect yet. I bought him off the street two months ago. He sold himself to bury his father, and I took pity on him so I brought him back. To join the Tiger Head Sect, you need to meet certain requirements. The first one is to learn the Grappling Hands and Shadow Steps on your own. He's missing the Shadow Step and hasn't been able to learn it yet."
Yan Liang nodded, stroking his stubble, and lamented earnestly, "This kid learns everything quickly, but he's just not very good at Qinggong. It's like playing the lute to a cow; he can't get the hang of it no matter what he does."
Seeing Rong Su looking at him with confusion, Zhou Di smiled and explained, "Ajin only took ten days to learn the grappling technique."
Hearing this, Rong Su was shocked. Learning a martial art in ten days?
Doesn't that mean he's a martial arts genius?
"Third sister, can Ajin protect you?" Zhou Di looked at Rong Su and mentioned this again, obviously not wanting to give in.
Rong Su saw Yan Liang looking at her, and he looked as if he would not do it unless she agreed.
Helplessly, she could only nod and agree.
The next day, Ajin came to see her.
She saw Ajin standing in front of her, with his head lowered, not daring to look up, looking embarrassed, completely different from the fierce expression he had when they first met.
Now he felt like a student seeing his teacher, timid and cowardly, not daring to make a sound.
Seeing him like this, Rong Su rolled her eyes, expressionless, and jokingly asked, "You look so reluctant. If you don't want to, you can leave."
When Ah Jin heard this, he immediately became anxious. He quickly raised his head, looked at her, and shook his head like a rattle: "No, no. I can't leave."
"Why?" Rong Su thought he was a little silly, which was kind of cute, so she asked curiously.
Ah Jin answered seriously, "If I leave, I may never be able to enter the Tiger Head Gate in my life."
After saying this, his face was full of dejection, like a puppy abandoned outside the door, with his head drooping and looking listless.
Rong Su felt that this was inappropriate. She looked at him and analyzed, "Even if you leave, as long as you learn the Shadow Steps well, you can still enter the Tiger Head Gate. You don't have to come to me."
When Ajin heard her words, his expression seemed even more depressed, and he shook his head dejectedly.
"No way. I've been learning Shadow Step for over a month, and I still can't do it. Generally, if I haven't learned a martial art in more than two weeks, I'll never be able to master it in my lifetime."
To Rong Su, Ajin's words were simply a show-off of how powerful he was, as if any martial arts could be mastered quickly with him.
Also, his thinking is a little different from that of ordinary people.
Rong Su twitched the corners of her mouth, and said with a dry laugh: "Most people need more than half a month to learn martial arts."
When Ajin heard this, a look of shock appeared on his face, as if this concept did not hold true for him.
Seeing his expression, Rong Su felt offended, but she remained patient and explained, "Even for those seniors who have achieved great martial arts skills, none of them took more than half a month to master a single martial art. Some seniors even spent more than ten years studying martial arts to master it."
Ah Jin was suddenly confused: "But, I rarely learn martial arts for more than half a month."
Rong Su stared at him for a while. She originally thought that he was showing off in front of her, but then she realized that he really didn't understand. After thinking about it, she asked again.
"So what did you study?"
When this was mentioned, Ajin seemed very excited and began to list them one by one for her as if they were his treasures.
"Nine Yang Finger, Luosha Sword, Flying Eagle Knife, Dark Moon Blade, Oda Flying Knife, and Snake Shadow Whip."
When Rong Su heard these martial arts, he was shocked by the names, because these martial arts were lost and rarely heard in the world.
She couldn't believe it: "You know all this?"
Ah Jin nodded seriously: "Yes. I can do all of them."
Rong Su was suspicious: "Where did you learn this?"
She thought that when asked this, Ajin would not answer her truthfully, but unexpectedly he seemed so innocent and really told her.
"I learned these from the notebook my father gave me."
Could an ordinary person possess so many unique martial arts skills? The answer is impossible. Then who was Ajin's father, and if he was a master, why did he end up dying without money?
Rong Su couldn't think about it too much, after all, it had nothing to do with her.
"Ajin, why did you join the Hutou Gate?" Rong Su had to think more about Zhou Di. Although Ajin did not seem to be a deep-minded person now, there was no guarantee that he would be pretending.
Ah Jin thought for a moment, then smiled innocently and said, "Because Brother Zhou is very kind. I wanted to stay here and help him with his work. Besides, I won't have to go hungry here."
It's that simple?
Rong Su looked at Ajin for a long time and saw that there was indeed no evil intention hidden on his honest face. She was sure that the young man in front of her was just a simple-minded boy.
Since Ajin has so many martial arts skills, Zhou Di must have known that and sent him to help her.
But she also didn't want an innocent person to be implicated by her, so she looked at Ajin seriously.
"Ah Jin, I need to explain something. What I'm about to do is extremely dangerous. If I'm not careful, I might lose my life. Even so, will you still obey Zhou Di's orders and protect me?"
Without hesitation, Ajin put away his silly smile and nodded seriously.
"Well, Brother Zhou thinks highly of you, and I owe him a favor. I hope I can help him protect you."
The ugly truth had already been said in advance, and Rong Su saw that Ajin was serious, so she no longer refused.
"Okay. Then I'll give you your first task. Play the role of a person being hunted. For now, your name will no longer be Jin, but Yin."
Rong Su narrowed her eyes and said to Ajin with a smile. After hearing this, Ajin was confused. He tilted his head and thought about it. He didn't understand it, but still chose to nod obediently.
-
Three days later, in a small tea stall in the suburbs.
A young man was wearing noble clothes, a jade crown on his head, and a gold and silver jade belt around his waist.
He was dressed in bright and handsome clothes, and his appearance was somewhat extraordinary. His thick black eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes were dark but clear.
It attracted a lot of attention, and even many young ladies passing by glanced at the young man.
The young man appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually secretly looking somewhere, and his hand hidden under his sleeve was tugging at the corner of his clothes.
He murmured quietly to himself, "Why hasn't it come yet? It's not coming. This dress is so hard to wear. It's so uncomfortable. It's so tight around my waist that I can't breathe."
This person was none other than Ajin, who was dressed as a rich young man. At this moment, he should be called Lin Youyin.
The waiter came over with a teapot and greeted Ajin warmly: "Sir, you look like an outsider, don't you?"
Ah Jin was surprised by the sudden question, but when he saw it was the waiter, he calmed down and said with a smile, "Yes, I heard that there is expensive and beautiful edelweiss here."
When the waiter heard this, his eyes lit up: "It seems that the young master is here to do business!"
"Haha, yes, yes." Ajin had no intention of chatting with the waiter. His eyes were always alert to his surroundings.
The waiter saw that Ajin didn't seem to want to understand him, but he didn't give up and poured him a cup of hot tea.
"Sir, I know an embroiderer who makes velvet silk. She's amazing, and she happens to have some really good stuff. Why don't you go take a look?"
Ajin was not here to do business, and what he said just now was just a random fabrication. It was obvious that the waiter was staring at him, and he saw more and more pedestrians stopping at the tea stall to rest.
I thought to myself that if I met Xu Jian here, we would definitely have to fight, just in case innocent people were hurt.
Thinking of this, Ajin looked at the waiter, looking as if he had thought it over carefully.
"Well, let's go and have a look. I came here for the edelweiss anyway."
Seeing that Ajin was willing to go, the waiter's face was filled with joy and he slapped his thigh: "Great! Then wait for me for a moment, I will arrange for someone to take over my stall."
Ajin nodded, and when the waiter turned around, he looked into the shade of the trees, looking for Rong Su's figure.
But I didn't see anyone, and I was immediately a little confused. Why was there no one?
Just when he was confused, the waiter was already ready and led him the way with a smile on his face: "Sir, please follow me."
Ajin had no choice but to improvise and follow the waiter to the place he mentioned.
I originally thought that if I talked nonsense, it would disrupt Rong Su's plan, but I didn't expect that after following the waiter, I found that the surroundings were getting quieter and quieter, and we were getting farther away from the town.
