Chapter 251 – Sister Pays Brothers Debt! (1/2)
Chapter 251: Sister pays brother's debt!
Lu Tianyu touched the tuft of charred hair on his head, his face pale with fear as he asked, “Have I died? Am I still alive?”
“Yes.” Li s.h.i.+nian nodded.
At that split second when the fireball smashed to the ground, it really was a life and death situation. The danger was so great that she felt a suffocating sense of oppression.
The intensity of the heat from the flames could be felt against her face, as if lava fell from the sky that would drown and consume her.
If this had happened before, Li s.h.i.+nian would have been very scared. She used to be just an ordinary student and the most dangerous thing that she had experience was when she got stopped by senior female schoolmates at the entrance to school because she was so popular——
But people change; since the attack of a.s.sa.s.sin Crow and the ugly water ghosts jumped out of the lake, Li s.h.i.+nian quickly grew and matured. There was nothing that could make her emotionally moved now.
People that have experienced life and death are always more resilient and tougher than ordinary people.
Even though she was just a little girl.
On the contrary, the one accustomed to the 'big world', lived like a prince and had almost not experienced any danger before, Lu Tianyu was much more fl.u.s.tered.
“Is my face ruined?”
Li s.h.i.+nian examined Lu Tianyu face with a serious look, not saying anything and gently sighing out loud.
“You——what do you mean by that?” Lu Tianyu's voice trembled, reaching for his face. “I——my face is ruined?”
“Ruined.” Li s.h.i.+nian nodded. “It was ruined when you were born.”
“You——”
“Lu Tianyu, you have to be like a man.” Li s.h.i.+nian snapped. “I know you're nervous, I know you're scared. But the people in front of you are the opponents of your Lu family, the enemy of your Lu family——No matter what you think, even if you're scared to death, you still have to pretend that you don't care about anything and continue to act tough. Don't let those people see your jokes and don't let those people think that the young master of Lu Family is a coward.”
“I——” Lu Tianyu stared in surprise at Li s.h.i.+nian, the girl spoke to him in an unprecedented tone of voice.
“You're very clever.” Li s.h.i.+nian said. “But your cleverness is not used in the right place. There is someone who is the opposite of you.”
“You mean Li Muyang?” Lu Tianyu asked.
Although situated in a sea of flames, Ning Xinhai remained unscathed and without worry.
Cui Shaofeng went over, asking: “Uncle Ning, are you alright?”
“I'm fine.” Ning Xinhai replied, his gaze all along fixed on Soul Haunting Whip Luo Xu. “The best defense is counter-attack. Now you know Buddhist techniques are not just defensive?”
“Attacking two children is really shameful.” Luo Xu said coldly.
“Haha, that makes it hard to accept. Who was it that attacked the kids first? I just followed suit, but now it is shameful?”
“I just gave them a slight punishment.”
“If you say a little punishment is to use your whip to mangle his hands——” Ning Xinhai turned to Li s.h.i.+nian and Lu Tianyu. “Miss s.h.i.+nian, long time no see.””
“You——” Li s.h.i.+nian obviously recognised Ning Xinhai. Back when she was in Jiangnan, he was Cui Xiaoxin's bodyguard. When her big Brother was injured when trying to protect Cui Xiaoxin, it was Ning Xinhai who helped him arranged a doctor. Unexpectedly, things stay the same, but people have changed. The bodyguard of the friend back then, has become their opponent today.
Thinking of Cui Xiaoxin, Li s.h.i.+nian's heart ached a little.
