Song of Adolescence

Chapter 186 Son of an Old Friend

"That\'s right, it\'s the Three-Day Pill." He Cong nodded. "After taking this pill, no matter how bad the injury, it can sustain his life for three days."

"Three-Day Pill is a panacea that’s even more precious than the Penglai Pill. Back then, Xin Baicao only refined three pills. I didn\'t expect that the little successor would be so generous as to give them away just like that," Xie Xuan said thoughtfully.

"So, does that mean it’ll work!" Sikong Qianluo interjected anxiously.

Xie Xuan thought for a while and nodded. "The two of you go quickly. You must rush back to Lei Clan Fort within seven days!"

"The two of us brothers will be back within seven days!" He Qu and He Cong clasped their fists. They turned around and said to Lei Wujie, "Young Master, we will take our leave first."

"Don\'t call me Young Master." Lei Wujie scratched his head. "Anyway, I’m counting on you two to save Brother Xiao Se."

He Qu and He Cong nodded, and immediately left.

Xie Xuan yawned. "I\'m going to rest for four hours, and then come and take the little monk’s place. The rest of you should go and rest too. At least for the next few days, Xiao Se will not be in any danger."

Sikong Qianluo and Ye Ruoyi were already extremely exhausted since the start, and now that they’ve heard Xiao Se will not be in any danger for the time being, they could finally let go of the worry that had been pressing on their hearts. However, they still frowned and hesitated.

"Go ahead. I\'ll stay here with them." Lei Wujie smiled. "I’ve slept all day, and now my body is feeling fine. Go and rest now, otherwise when Xiao Se is better, you’ll be the ones ill again."

"If anything happens inside, you must tell me right away." Sikong Qianluo finally left after saying those last words.

Ye Ruoyi asked Lei Wujie, "Are you really completely healed?"

"Oh, that’s rare. You also care about me?" Lei Wujie looked flattered.

Seeing his appearance, Ye Ruoyi chuckled. "Looks like you’re almost back to normal."

Lei Wujie nodded. "I won’t die, anyway. Go and rest."

"Okay." Ye Ruoyi smiled before she turned and left.

"Boy, do you remember the gift I gave you?" Xie Xuan suddenly said.

Lei Wujie was taken aback. "What gift?"

"When we first met, I gave Miss Ye the "Elegance of Beauty" dance score, gave Tang Lian the "Wine Scripture", gave Xiao Se an untitled book, and gave you the book "Late Snowfall". Have you forgotten?" Xie Xuan said.

"Ah, I remember, "Late Snowfall"!" Lei Wujie suddenly realized.

"Did you read it?" Xie Xuan smiled slightly.

"Nope," Lei Wujie replied frankly.

"No wonder, no wonder." Xie Xuan patted Lei Wujie on the shoulder. "No wonder your ability to converse with a lady is still so raw and immature. Whenever I, Xie Xuan, give someone else a book, it’s always intentional and purposeful. Don’t think that this copy of “Late Snowfall” is one that you can buy anywhere on the street, and so you despise it. It’s very valuable to you as you are today. You don’t get it, don’t get it!" Xie Xuan withdrew his hand and shook his head as he walked away, leaving Lei Wujie to stand by himself awkwardly and at a loss.

Maybe it was time he had a good look at it. Lei Wujie sat down in the courtyard just outside, basking in the sun, while thinking silently to himself.

Is Xiao Se really Xiao Chuhe, the sixth prince who was exiled? Then according to Mother\'s will, the person I’m supposed to protect is him? But why did he conceal his identity for so long and refuse to return to Heavenly Revelations?

There’s also the way Ye Ruoyi treated Xiao Se so importantly along the way, and she even risked her life to fight for him. Does she really like Xiao Se?

Qianluo-shijie also seems to be a bit interested in Xiao Se. When the time comes, will she and Miss Ye have some rivalry?

When jiejie left, she didn\'t seem to notice me at all. Shifu also left me behind, despite my serious injuries, and followed after her. What happened between the two of them?

With so many questions, Lei Wujie’s mind swam with confusion, but the people who could have answered his questions were not around. The Confucian Sword Immortal went to rest, and Lei Yunhe was busy appeasing everyone in Lei Clan Fort. After all, Lei Qianhu had been in charge of Lei Clan for so many years, he’d won everybody’s hearts and his death caused everyone in Lei Clan to be unsettled and uneasy. Even Lei Yunhe, who had always been casual and lazy, would have to worry about this for a while.

No matter what, I won’t be wrong if I just hold my sword and protect the people I have to protect, Lei Wujie thought to himself. Lost in his thoughts, the time passed around him and more than four hours had gone by. Suddenly, there was a commotion around him and many Lei Clan disciples were running past the courtyard. Lei Wujie hurriedly grabbed one of them and asked, "What happened?"

"Suddenly, suddenly, a large number of soldiers surrounded Lei Clan Fort!" The man was panting as he spoke.

"Soldiers? Why would soldiers come here? Where’s Lei Yunhe-shishu?" Lei Wujie asked in confusion.

"The Acting Head… the Acting Head is discussing something with Steward Tianhen in the backyard. We’ve already sent someone to call him. But those soldiers are really aggressive, and it feels like they’re going to break in any time!" The man said anxiously.

"I\'ll go!" Lei Wujie picked up the Heart sword beside him, using it as a cane, and rushed out on his own. The two of them rushed out of the Lei Clan Fort gate and Lei Wujie realized that things were far from simple.

The group of people outside were not just soldiers.

Each one of them was armed with a pair of sabres, their eyes were full of hostility, and the general in charge was even more burly and full of murderous intent. These were obviously not just soldiers. They’re men who have been on the battlefield, the military forces!

"We respect Lei Clan Fort, and we do not wish to offend." The liaison officer beside the burly general said loudly, "But if the Lei Clan Clan Leader does not come out to meet us now, don’t blame us for being rude!"

That burly general was naturally the highest ranking man in the Beili Army, Ye Xiaoying. He looked at the Lei Clan Fort name plaque and said in a low voice, "Back then, I wanted to march through this Lei Clan Fort, but was stopped by the Chief. Now, can this be counted as fulfilling my wish?"

"If you wish to invade Lei Clan Fort, you’ll have to pass my sword first." Amongst the group of disciples who were still hesitating, Lei Wujie stepped out and swung his sword in front of the thousand cavalry soldiers.

His awe-inspiring aura was no less than the killing intent from the whole one thousand people.

Except this conspicuous form with his whole body covered in bandages made everyone couldn’t help but laugh a little.

Ye Xiaoying bent down curiously and looked at him. "This little friend looks seriously injured, but still so heroic."

"Who are you?" Lei Wujie raised his head and asked.

"Good question." Ye Xiaoying drew his two long sabres from his back. Each one looked extremely heavy, but in his hands, they looked like toys. "My name is on my two sabres. Everyone says Beili favours the sword and Nanjue wields the sabre. But, that’s the dogmatism of people from the martial world who didn’t witness the Beili Army’s sabre!" Ye Xiaoying kicked the horse\'s belly hard and rushed forward instantly.

"General!" The liaison officer was shocked. He seldom saw the general act so impulsively.

"I think, I can guess your name." Ye Xiaoying galloped his horse right up to Lei Wujie, and raised the two sabres in his hands. "But I still hope to know your name from your sword."

As soon as he said his words, the two long sabres swung towards his head!

Lei Wujie endured the pain of the wounds all over his body bursting open, gritted his teeth, and raised his sword!
