Yu Shu vaguely saw her confused face from Shui Yun's faint pupils. Her throat moved up and down before she heard her own voice, "Great An Disaster? What do you mean? "
Shui Yun sighed and said, "Do you know why my Senior Brother was sent to my Tai Yi Sect to be raised?"
"Didn't the Emperor announce to the world that Jing Chen inherited his mother's will to worship the Three Pure Ones Patriarchs and pray for the people of Da An, so he was sent to cultivate?" This was the official statement. Yu Shu only wanted to know some things from Shui Yun, but she didn't want to be foolishly tricked by her, so she answered perfunctorily. In fact, the real reason, Jing Chen had told her in the grove.
Who knew that Shui Yun could see through her, "You don't have to hide it from me. I know my Senior Brother's character very well. He disdains lying. You saved him on the way, and he has gone through thick and thin with you. He trusts you, so he will not deceive you. If I'm not mistaken, he should've told you everything about his life as soon as he regained his memory, including the fact that the Da 'an Imperial Family sent him to Mount Longhu to protect his life more than ten years ago because Ketu Star didn't rise early. "
With her words so accurate, Yu Shu awkwardly cleared her throat and whispered, "Since you know, why are you asking me?"
Shui Yun smiled faintly, "I just want you to understand that I know everything you know. I don't need to lie to you. Moreover, what I want to tell you today is something you don't know."
Yu Shu nodded and let down half of her guard. Her legs were sore from standing and talking, so she took two steps back and sat on the chair opposite Shui Yun. She asked, "You haven't told me, what is the meaning of Great An Disaster?"
Disaster, disaster, it sounded inauspicious.
"Once this disaster is mentioned, it involves a lot of things. I can't tell you the specifics." Shui Yun frowned slightly, "You only need to know my Senior Brother's fate. It is inextricably linked to the rise and fall of the An Dynasty, so the Da An Imperial Family must not let him die early. More than ten years ago, with the agreement with my sect's Grand Elder, the sect leader and several elders changed his fate. Only then did they save Senior Brother. "
"… Hehe, Miss Shui really likes to joke." With a hollow laugh, Yu Shu managed to maintain her composure on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil. She thought to herself that if what Shui Yun said was true, then she had really heard a great secret.
A person's fate could affect the rise and fall of a country!?
Logically speaking, this statement was clearly groundless.
If it was the True Dragon Son of Heaven. The life and death of an Emperor could indeed shake the imperial court. However, Jing Chen was just the son of a princess in An Dynasty. He didn't have any power in his hands. How could his fate affect the entire imperial court?
Shui Yun looked at Yu Shu's face of disbelief and did not intend to explain. He said coldly, "This is the Heavenly Dao. It's up to you whether you believe it or not."
Yu Shu was deep in thought. She stared at Shui Yun's delicate and pretty face, trying to discern the slightest trace of guilt or nonsense. However, it was all in vain. Shui Yun's gaze was at the same level as hers. She didn't evade or blink and was extremely magnanimous.
"Regardless of whether what you said is true or false, what is your purpose in telling me this secret?"
Shui Yun said, "As I said, I have a favor to ask of you."
Yu Shu's intuition told her that it wasn't something good. To be honest, she had already begun to regret going out with Shui Yun. She heard another secret that she didn't know was true or false.
She made up her mind that no matter what Shui Yun asked of her later, she couldn't easily agree.
"Go ahead, I'm listening."
Shui Yun lightly pursed her lips and suddenly stood up from the chair. She raised her hand and bowed to Yu Shu. She solemnly said, "I want to ask Miss Yu not to have any contact with my Senior Brother in the future."
“.....”
Yu Shu expressionlessly looked at Shui Yun's solemn expression. She endured it and didn't stand up to leave. Instead, she asked, "Why?"
Shui Yun looked at her deeply and said, "Miss Yu is a smart person. Since you know these secrets of my Senior Brother, you should know how dangerous it is for him. Before Senior Brother left the mountain, Martial Uncle repeatedly told him to remember not to rashly move his Dao heart and to maintain his nature in order to avoid Kedu Star causing chaos and harming the innocent. However, he treats you differently. According to my observation, every time he thinks about you, his heart can't be as calm as still water. His Dao heart is shaken and is in imminent danger. "
"Senior Brother himself also noticed this, so he repeatedly restrained himself. However, he was reluctant to cut off his relationship with you. He even violated the sect's rules and deliberately taught you Martial Uncle's lifelong secret knowledge. It is enough to show that he already has fetters in his heart. Senior Brother doesn't know that he himself is a great calamity, so he naturally doesn't know that one wrong thought of his can destroy countless people. If this relationship can't be broken, it will cause great harm. People of the Dao can't go against heaven and reason and damage merit. Therefore, I beg you to take the initiative to cut off your relationship with him and return him a clear mind. Only then can everyone be safe. "
At this point, Shui Yun acted as if she didn't see Yu Shu's dark face. She took a step forward, took out two copies from her bosom, and handed them to her. She said earnestly, "This is the 'Celestial Divination' that my Martial Uncle Huai Xian Zhenren spent thirty years to write. Coupled with the imitation of the Universe Astrolabe, even without my Senior Brother's guidance, you can still comprehend the truth on your own. In less than ten years, there will be progress. I see that your root of wisdom is insufficient and your aptitude is limited, so I advise you not to be greedy. This secret knowledge is enough for you to comprehend for a lifetime, and it is enough to repay you for saving my Senior Brother. I hope that you will take care of yourself and don't pester him anymore, lest you harm others and yourself. "
These words were spoken clearly. It was reasonable, righteous, threatening, and enticing, and it was like a net that covered the heavens and the earth, causing one to be unable to avoid it. Agreeing to it was the best of both worlds, and if one didn't agree, then one would be shameless.
Yu Shu's hands grabbed onto the armrests of the chair while her face was tense, and her gaze was locked onto the beautiful and elegant words on the cover of the book. She endured it over and over again, yet she was unable to endure it in the end, causing a trace of a crack to appear on her face. Her temper was bad to begin with, so how could she be willing to endure this kind of humiliation? She sneered right away and went straight to the point. "I actually didn't know when I became a vile person that seeks to repay kindness. Miss Shui really thinks too highly of me."
Shui Yun's beautiful brows knit together when she heard Yu Shu's ridicule, and she was just about to say something when the voice of the waiter that was serving tea sounded out from outside the door.
She paused for a moment, then placed the two copies of the book on the tea table beside Yu Shu's hand before turning around to open the door. The waiter came in with the tea, but he seemed to have sensed that the atmosphere in the room wasn't right, so he placed the tea down and said, "Please enjoy your meal," before retreating.
Shui Yun closed the door and returned to the tea table. She skillfully set up the tea set, washed the cups, smelled the fragrance, and filtered the water before pouring out a cup of fragrant tea and placing it in front of Yu Shu. Then, she poured another cup for herself before sitting down in front of her again. She lowered her head and blew on the tea before saying apologetically, "It was my slip of the tongue. Please don't misunderstand, I didn't mean it that way. Drink a cup of tea and cool down your anger, then we can have a good talk."
In her heart, she thought: It was indeed her who looked down on her.
Seeing this, the expression on Yu Shu's face softened a little. She calmly thought about it. After all, this person was Jing Chen's junior sister who grew up with him. For her to mock her like this, it must be for Jing Chen's sake. Furthermore, she still had some questions that she didn't understand, so it wasn't good to fall out with her. Thus, she suppressed the idea of leaving, snorted, picked up the cup of tea, and brought it to her mouth.
At this moment, Kim Bao, who was in her other sleeve, suddenly became restless and bit her through her clothes. Yu Shu felt the pain and her hand trembled, almost spilling the tea. She put her hand down and touched her sleeve under the table to warn Kim Bao not to cause trouble. However, the little fellow didn't calm down and instead scratched around in her sleeve, making her feel a little annoyed.
"Miss Yu?"
Yu Shu didn't want Shui Yun to see that she was acting strangely, so she tightened her sleeve and picked up the teacup again. However, who knew that Kim Bao, who was in her sleeve, became more and more restless and moved around, wanting to come out. This abnormal behavior made Yu Shu feel a little strange. A thought flashed through her mind, and she suddenly thought of an unimportant matter — —
She followed the caravan north on a ship and saw through Qiu Biao's true colors on the way. That Bi Qing had put a knockout drug in the food that she prepared for them. At that time, they didn't notice it. Only Kim Bao's behavior was abnormal and he was as restless as he was now.
Yu Shu lowered her head and looked at the teacup in her hand, and her pupils contracted.
Could it be that there was a problem with this tea?
Thinking of this possibility, Yu Shu instantly became vigilant. She still brought the tea to her mouth and pretended to drink it. At the same time, she quietly peeked at Shui Yun's action of drinking tea. In her heart, she didn't believe that this younger martial sister would drug her.
It wasn't until Shui Yun finished the cup of tea in her hand and went to the pot to add more that Yu Shu secretly scolded herself for being overly suspicious. However, she put down the cup and didn't dare to take any risks.
"Miss Yu, please keep what I just said to you a secret. For the sake of Senior Martial Brother's safety, remember not to reveal — —"
Her voice stopped abruptly. Yu Shu's eyes widened as she watched Shui Yun, who had been talking to her a moment ago, go limp in front of her in the next moment with a stiff expression. She fell on the table with a 'bang' and fainted, motionless.
"Miss, Miss Shui?"
After being stunned for a moment, the hairs on the back of Yu Shu's neck stood up, as if she sensed danger approaching. In the face of this sudden change, she didn't move Shui Yun. Instead, she hurriedly stood up from the chair. Without thinking much, her first reaction was to open the window and shout for the two bodyguards downstairs to come up. However, looking around the room, the two windows facing the street turned out to be skylights, which couldn't be reached at all!
The soundproofing in this room was too good, and it was chaotic downstairs. Even if she went out and stood in the corridor and shouted for help, no one might be able to hear her!
Yu Shu looked at the door of the room twenty feet away, and then turned back to look at Shui Yun, who had fainted on the table. Her heart swayed. If she ran down and shouted for help, it was difficult to guarantee that Shui Yun wouldn't be in danger. However, if she carried Shui Yun along, she was afraid that she would miss the opportunity to escape. She might be stopped when she went out.
Damn it!
Yu Shu took two steps forward and then turned back. She gritted her teeth and dragged Shui Yun out of the chair. She struggled to carry Shui Yun on her back. She glanced at the two manuscripts on the table from the corner of her eyes. She grabbed them and put them in her bosom. Carrying a person on her back, she rushed to the door and listened for any movements. She took a deep breath, kicked the door open, and jumped out.
She was a step too slow. As soon as she stepped out of the door, she bumped into the people squatting outside the door. Her head hit the wall, and she fell backward. With a scream, she fell into a ball with Shui Yun.
"Ah!"
Yu Shu lay on her back on the ground with the back of her head hitting the ground. She saw stars and was dizzy. She saw two men carrying sacks outside the door, and they were obviously shocked.
"Why is there still one awake?"
