C64 (2/2)
At this time, the people close to Lu Li in the cell heard that someone was trying to save a life so they pounded on the door to call for help. Word spread and soon the cell was noisy. Ye Mo Han didn't care about anything else, he just took the key and went inside. When he got to the deepest part, he found a cell door closed, but there was no name written on the door. Ye Mo Han quickly took out the key and tried a dozen times before finding the key to the cell. When he opened the door, he saw a woman curled up in a corner crying loudly when she saw Ye Mo Han.
”How is this possible?” ”” Gongsun Yuxia said incredulously. I clearly saw him bring Miss Liu in. ”
”Xiao Yu.” Lu Li sighed and said, ”It seems that your brother has set his eyes on you again. He might be trying to test if you were here to save me.”
As Lu Li had said, Gongsun Chun Qiu didn't stop Lu Li from visiting Gongsun Yuxia. He wanted to see if Gongsun Yuxia would still love him after he became a cripple. Gongsun Chun Qiu's heart was so devious that no words could describe it. Ye Mo Han looked at the girl on the ground and asked, ”Who are you?”
”I am just a little girl. Because I broke a vase, Master was so angry and sent me here.” Although she looked pitiful, she was nothing compared to Lu Li.
Ye Mo Han looked at Lu Li and Gongsun Yuxia and said, ”Gongsun Chunqiu told you to see Liu Yiyi locked up here. He probably wanted to see if you and him were loyal or if you would betray him for Lu Li.”
”He did all these things to me. He should have known that our brother-sister relationship ended more than ten years ago.” Gongsun Yuxia harrumphed and left with Lu Li on her back.
A cold light suddenly shot towards Lu Li. Ye Mo Han casually raised the bunch of keys in his hand and threw a dagger to the ground with a ”ding lang” sound. Then, a shadow flashed and the pitiful girl pounced on Lu Li. It was obvious that she wanted Lu Li's life. However, when she reached out her hands and touched Lu Li's clothes, she couldn't move any further. Another set of rusty keys had been inserted into her back.
”You already guessed that I was going to kill him?” She strenuously turned her head, looking at Ye Mo Han in disbelief.
”If a girl was locked up here for breaking a vase, it would be a waste of the prison's efforts to build it.” When Ye Mo Han came in and saw that it wasn't Liu Yiyi, he was already suspicious. After hearing her say this, he realized that she must have been arranged by Gongsun Chun Qiu. Ye Shuihan was waiting to see if the person she wanted to kill was Lu Li or Gongsun Yuxia. Now that he had the answer, Gongsun Chun Qiu was still unwilling to hurt his sister. In this way, Ye Mo Han intended to use Gongsun Yu Xia as a hostage to exchange for Liu Yiyi. Although it was somewhat disgraceful, the situation was urgent, and Ye Mo Han couldn't care less.
”Despicable.” Gongsun Yuxia turned around and kicked her in the chest. That girl's back hit the wall and she died immediately.
Ye Han led the way while Gongsun Yuxia carried Lu Li and walked towards the exit of the prison. The way there was a mess. Some were crying, some were cursing, some were begging. The door to the cell was not locked. Instead, it was wide open.
Outside the prison gates, Gongsun Chun Qiu and his subordinates were all there. He raised his head and closed his eyes, as if he was resting. When the three of them came out, he opened his eyes, stared at Ye Mo and said: ”I thought you wouldn't come out here to take a look at this muddy water.”
”Sometimes I like to fish in troubled waters.” Ye Mo Han raised his head to look at the sky. He realized that the sky was especially blue today, as if it had just been washed away by water. He couldn't help but become happy.
”There are three hundred and sixty-eight people here. They are the people with the highest martial arts skills in my Gongsun family, and half of them are first-rate experts in the martial arts world. ”Lord Ye, how confident are you in fighting them?” Gongsun Chun Qiu pointed to his subordinates behind him and said, ”Just as we agreed, we will join hands to deal with our common enemy. Miss Liu, I will take care of it for you.”
Gongsun Yuxia sneered and said disdainfully: ”If I remember correctly, when you wanted me to marry Uncle Dan, you said that you would treat my Lu Lang well. ”The result is just like this.”
”Shut up!” Gongsun Chun Qiu said angrily. ”Who does he think he is? How could he match up to our Gongsun family's background?”
Lu Li leaned on Gongsun Yuxia's back. Hearing Gongsun Chun Qiu's words, he smiled helplessly. His smile was filled with sorrow and helplessness.
”Mr. Gongsun.” Ye Mo pointed at Gongsun Yu Xia and said, ”” She is your blood sister. No matter how unhappy you are with the person she likes, you don't have to use this method to torture him, right? ”
Gongsun Chun Qiu said disdainfully, ”I am her elder brother, so I naturally have the right to choose her husband. ”Lord Ye, we are in the Gongsun family. Please leave. No one will stop you here.”
”Gongsun Chun Qiu.” Gongsun Yuxia gently put Lu Li down and walked towards Gongsun Chun Qiu. Are you really not going to let us go? ”
”I have let Lu Li live until now because of our friendship as brother and sister. But you insisted on saving him, so he must die. This was all your doing.” Gongsun Chun Qiu didn't even glance at Gongsun Yuxia.
”Alright.” Gongsun Yuxia then walked to Gongsun Chunqiu's back, standing half a meter away from him as she guarded the prison. Gongsun Yuxia suddenly jumped into the group of eight. Taking advantage of one of them being caught off guard, she unsheathed her saber with a 'whoosh'. Gongsun Yuxia then walked back to Lu Li.
Ye Wen felt a chill run down his spine. He had a faint feeling that Gongsun Yuxia was about to do something unexpected. Just as this thought appeared in her mind, a blood-red light flashed. Accompanying the shocked cries of the crowd, Gongsun Yuxia's left arm had already been cut off by herself.
Blood dripped to the ground, converging into thin streams. The blood flow spread and intertwined, forming into small blood dragons. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they changed their shapes on the ground, as if mocking everyone present.
Lu Li smelled the stench of blood in the air, and heard the exclamations of the crowd. He knew something was wrong with Gongsun Yuxia, so he fumbled around in a hurry. He stretched out his hand and touched the blood on the ground. Lu Li said hoarsely, ”Xiao Yu, what are you doing?”
He then turned to Gongsun Chun Qiu and said, ”Mr. Gongsun, don't make things difficult for Xiaoyu. She's your blood sister. If you want my life, I can give it to you right now.”
Gongsun Yuxia's face was pale. She reluctantly pulled Lu Li into her embrace and used all her strength to shout, ”Lu Lang, don't beg him. This arm of mine is proof that it has nothing to do with the Gongsun family. ”
The two of them embraced each other, and Gongsun Yuxia said something like that, causing everyone present to be moved. Ye Chanhan hurried forward and pressed a few acupoints on Gongsun Yuxia's body. A sincere admiration for her rose in his heart, as if a woman like her had not only been married off to Uncle Yan for more than ten years, but had also unhesitatingly broken an arm with her brother. This kind of woman was a hundred times stronger than the conceited and chivalrous men of the martial world. Ye Mo Han suddenly remembered that he was going to use her as a hostage in exchange for Liu Yi Yi. He couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself.
Gongsun Chun Qiu heaved a long sigh. ”Since you no longer have any relationship with the Gongsun family, then I don't need to worry about our brotherly feelings anymore.”
