Volume 1: Winds Rising From the Mountains and Lakes Chapter 158: The World of Mortals Is Like a Dream
Su Xueyun held the two jade pendants in her hands and was reluctant to put them down. She looked at the open door anxiously.
How could this reckless young man come and go like a god? Would a person with real ability be so reckless? Could he really take her away from here? If she implicated others because of this, she, Su Xueyun, would never redeem herself.
A breeze blew across her face, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of Su Xueyun.
"Miss Su, check it out!"
Su Xueyun took the jade pendant and looked at Lin Yi hesitantly, then slowly took the document from him.
After a while, her calm face turned red. She nodded and said, "These are my sister's registration documents!" After that, she bowed solemnly to Lin Yi with her weak body.
Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "This is not the time for empty formalities! Let me ask you, you are here, whether you want to leave or stay, Miss Su can decide! I have also explained to Mr. Su."
Su Xueyun looked at Lin Yi quietly for a moment, her eyes were clear, like rain and fog. Then she smiled and said no more. She casually rolled up a package, took the jade flute off the wall and took it in her hand, and walked lightly to Lin Yi.
The pear blossoms on the cheeks with rain, in an instant, have become enchanting and bright.
Lin Yi sighed secretly and looked out of the boat window-
The fishing fires in the distance are still the same, the mist and rain are floating; in the quiet night, the wind is charming.
"Brother Lin, thank you for your trouble!" Su Xueyun wore a cloud-colored long skirt, a silk handkerchief tied up her hair, a package, and a jade flute in her hand. Her figure is elegant and extraordinary, and a faint smile appears on her cheeks.
Su Xueyun in front of him was completely different from the lonely and arrogant Ruyan.
Lin Yi secretly felt lucky. Su Xueyun had been worried about leaving the capital before. He had no choice but to take back her identity card, which also relieved her worries.
In this way, Su Xueyun no longer hesitated and acted decisively without any shyness or cowardice.
Lin Yi had not thought about how to place Su Xueyun, but he could not let her stay in the painting boat and be humiliated.
Some things can be planned in advance; while some things come suddenly and should be cut off when necessary.
Ordinary people waste their lives in regret and hesitation. Sometimes, the choice is simple, just take a step and go. That's it. It is precisely this step that many people spend their entire lives wandering in the same place.
As the saying goes, check yourself first when you are free, and you will rarely make mistakes. Since Lin Yi came down from the mountain, he has always been cautious in his actions, but when the time comes, he never avoids taking responsibility.
"You and I will leave here first!" Lin Yi said softly to Su Xueyun, and walked out the door. Su Xueyun followed closely behind.
"There are thieves killing people and setting fires! Catch that person quickly!" A woman's sharp cry suddenly sounded on the pleasure boat, followed by footsteps and shouts, and a team of soldiers with weapons ran onto the pleasure boat.
In the distance, several sampans were brightly lit with torches, and they also surrounded the pleasure boat. There were people swaying on them, and swords and knives were shining.
Lin Yi stood in front of the door of the second floor of the pleasure boat, watching the sudden change in front of him.
Su Xueyun's face was calm, and her teeth were clenched. She grabbed the package, without any fear, and her expression was determined.
Once in prison, ten years will be gone. Su Xueyun has heard about her father's news, and she has her identity documents in her arms. She has no interest in this beautiful capital city and only hopes to leave as soon as possible. After years of suffering, there will be a day to get out. But when the time comes, the storm suddenly arises, and she and Lin Yi are trapped. If she wants to leave safely now, it is a delusion.
Facing the predicament, Lin Yi is still calm, which makes Su Xueyun feel more calm.
Originally, I was afraid that I would implicate others. This brother Lin is so skilled that it should not be difficult for him to get out alone!
Thinking of this, Su Xueyun took out a pair of scissors from the package, and the sharp tip of the knife pointed to her heart. With a resolute look, she said coldly: "Please leave quickly, Brother Lin--"
Lin Yi was looking around, and turned around when he heard the voice. Seeing this, his eyebrows moved slightly, but he did not dissuade her. Instead, he raised the corner of his mouth and said gently: "Miss Su, if you trust Lin Yi, please keep your package!"
The slightly unruly smile and shining eyes of the people around him made Su Xueyun, who had made up her mind, feel relieved for no reason. She slowly put down her hand holding the scissors. The other party nodded slightly at her, not without approval.
More and more people came up on the painting boat and on the river. The woman also squeezed into the corridor on the second floor, hiding behind several soldiers, pointing at Lin Yi and cursing.
Seeing this, Lin Yi shook his head secretly. It seems that the power behind this painting boat is really not small. Not to mention that Handan Sheng had no choice but to jump into the water, even ordinary Jianghu masters, in the capital, facing these fangs and claws running dogs, can only retreat three steps. If you are not careful, you will be trapped in it and it will be difficult to save yourself.
"Catch that stinky boy and send him to jail to give him a good beating! A bastard who came out of nowhere, a thing that is not accepted by heaven and earth, dares to provoke me, you are tired of living!" The woman screamed, and several soldiers also sneered and rushed over with single swords in hand.
"You dead girl, you want to run? I have raised you for all these years, it's better to raise a dog! You conscienceless bastard, if I don't get ten or eight men to take turns to discipline you tonight, you still don't know my methods!" The woman became more and more rampant.
Not to mention that Lin Yi's eyebrows were raised and his face was angry; Su Xueyun beside him was also trembling, her face was frozen.
"Follow me—!" Lin Yi said coldly, and with a flick of his palm, a cloud of dense blue clouds emerged, wrapped around the two of them, and slowly rose up.
When Su Xueyun was surprised, before she could think about it, she saw the two of them flying into the air like clouds and mist. Those people who kept shouting also arrived at their feet. They looked up and looked around blankly, but they could not find the two of them.
The blue clouds were billowing under my feet, and the surrounding scenery was unobstructed; the wind and rain had not stopped, and they passed by in the air, unable to touch me within a few feet.
Lin Yi ignored Su Xueyun's surprise and was about to urge Biyun Sha to fly away when the woman's yelling came from below——
"Could it be that this couple has wings? Even if they fly into the sky, they can't escape from my grasp!"
"Blatantly robbing people in a painting boat has violated the laws of the imperial court and should be severely punished!"
"I remember that boy's appearance——!"
"Painting shadows and figures, arresting them all over the city——"
"..."
On the boat, the woman was talking to someone after shouting for a while. It was a middle-aged man who scolded a group of guards and left in a hurry.
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and snorted secretly. I wanted to take Su Xueyun and leave quietly first, but now, the madam became reluctant and refused to let him make any more concessions. He endured it again and again, but he, Lin Yi, would not endure it anymore.
Tonight, let me, Lin Yi, put an end to you!
"Miss Su, stay here and don't move. I'll dismantle the boat!"
Before Su Xueyun could respond, Lin Yi's body had floated away, and she looked around intently.
Lin Yi was in the air, and a long sword appeared in his right hand, which suddenly fell from the air to the river.
Those who were about to catch Lin Yi just now felt their eyes dazzled, and the opponent disappeared in mid-air. They were just searching around as a cover-up trick used by the opponent. Suddenly he saw a dazzling brilliance falling from the sky in the hazy night sky, and he was immediately stunned by it.
Lin Yi landed on the river and walked along the waves. The long sword in his hand burst out with a light of ten feet, and passed quickly on the water near the boat. The sword light then swept across the bottom of the boat, bursting into bursts like destroying dry matter. The sound shook the water.
A huge gap was cut in the bottom cabin of the painting boat by the sharp sword light, and the river rushed in. The hull of the ship shook suddenly and tilted down instantly.
Looking at the floating boat parked in front of me, I don’t know how many innocent women were caught in it. Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he kept walking, dragging the sword light with his long sword, and swung it away casually.
One painted boat was like this, and then the next one followed. Lin Yi's figure continued, and a row of painted boats along the bank met the same fate one after another.
Screams suddenly broke out on the boat, and countless figures swayed. Amid the cries and curses, drunken rich men and coquettish girls, all disheveled and ugly, fled away, leaving chaos on the entire river.
Those sampans also stopped early, and the men on them were all dumbfounded, staring blankly at the tragic situation on the river. Suddenly someone shouted: "That man is coming -!"
A faint but swift figure looked like a ghost on the river, heading towards several sampans.
The people on the sampan screamed and jumped into the water one by one in panic. But before the figure arrived, the sword light had already fallen, "Bang——!" After several loud noises, the sampan had turned into sawdust and scattered on the water.
“Damn it, my ‘Cui Mingxuan’—!”
The woman's sharp and mournful wail reached Lin Yi's ears. He tapped his toes on the water, and the water sank slightly. His figure was already like an arrow leaving the string, running towards the shore.
From a distance, I saw the woman sitting on the shore, disheveled, crying loudly, and constantly cursing Lin Yi.
After destroying so many boats, Lin Yi's anger subsided slightly, but when he saw the woman's foul words, he was aroused again.
Seeing that there was no one in the tilted boat, Lin Yi's eyes were sharp, and he jumped up more than ten feet high. His long sword danced with brilliance, like a bright moon descending into the world, but it suddenly hit Cuimingxuan. If The Milky Way pours down and shines with thousands of stars.
"Boom——!" With a deafening sound, the boat exploded to pieces, and countless sawdust flew into the air.
A beautiful boat was reduced to nothing.
The bilges of other painted boats were cut and could still be repaired, but the Cuimingxuan was completely lost. The woman finally stopped crying and looked at the empty river in despair. There was no trace of Cui Mingxuan's boat on the river, and only a few pieces of the boat remained.
Such a big boat was demolished, but it was demolished like this? The woman's mind was confused. On the river, a vague figure floated by the wind, and a cold voice sounded in her ears——
"People who commit evil will not live alive——!" The woman seemed not to have heard clearly, and looked at the figure in a daze. A strong finger wind came towards her, her body paused, and a blood hole appeared on her forehead. Falling down like a pile of mud.
Su Xueyun looked at the tragic scene below her feet as if she was in a dream. This familiar piece of water, as well as the familiar painting boat, the usually picturesque scene was in such a mess in the blink of an eye.
The place that carried countless sorrows, the place of so much lonely and unbearable sadness, has since disappeared. After sighing, Su Xueyun felt more relaxed than ever before.
When a person stands in the clouds, everything under his feet is close to his eyes, but yet so far away. Is this how to stay away from the worldly chaos?
Su Xueyun's eyes dimmed, and the figure who had been so familiar after seeing him for a short while had already arrived beside him.
Lin Yihuai went to draw the boat, killed the woman, lifted up his body from the river, and jumped onto the blue cloud gauze, just for a few breaths.
"Leave the capital with me!".
Su Xueyun said softly, the lights of thousands of houses in the capital became blurry, and there was the sound of wind whistling around her——
