If looks could kill, Zhuo Qing guesses Gu Yuns eyes behind her must have loved to cut her into pieces . Her lips gently smiled to Su Ling and nodded, General Su, youre just in ti, her body was not much of a problem, you can take her away. With that Zhuo Qing gracefully waved out the door and Su Ling was unusually kind to help her on the door.
Gu Yun took a deep breath and another deep breath fuming mad inside. This Zhou Qing! Once she fell in love and got married.. this marriage has plundered all her intelligence and now she wanted a follower and digress myself to the sa level!
Su Ling entered the room. Seeing Gu Yun sitting on the bed. Her face is bursting with different colors but fortunately her spirit looks great. Su Ling let out a sigh. He never imagined she turned out to be the person he misses so much. Thinking of the three days, it felt like three days is a very long ti for the first ti. During spare ti, this persons appearance dominates his mind. He would think and always hopes she is doing good. This is a totally strange feeling and he is being defeated but he has no power to fight
You
I
Both opening their mouths at the sa ti robbing each other of words then kept silent. Gu Yun doesnt know how to think of Su ling. She felt very embarrassed! Both were silent for a while, Gu Yun took the lead in breaking the deadlock,
Let talk first.
Su Lings eyebrows slightly raised, her look is particularly serious. He looked at her seeing her earnest appearance. He was curious about what she wants to say. Lightly coughing, Gu Yun raised her head, stared at him straight in the eye and asked,
Do you like ?
Su Ling was surprised in a mont and imdiately his expectations raised but also so disturbing emotions ca. Did she finally have feelings for ? Gu Yun seems to be able to still see through the eye and read peoples minds. Su Ling replied in a low voice,
What do you think?
Gu Yun frowned, thought back for a while, should be it. After waking up, she can feel Su Ling s difference, hot deep eyes, making her more and more uncomfortable, she is sure Su Ling liked her.
Should be? Right? Su Ling suddenly have a mixed feelings of loss at this ti. He rarely have interactions with the woman, he was limited in his knowledge, when won in the face of such knowledge, should she be shy or timid? Or worrying about it? But with Qing Mo, instead she graciously asked whether he liked her and moved to bring it to a conclusion with calmness and rationality.
Is his understanding about won lacking? Or is she special to this extent? Or he doesnt really appeal to her? Su Lings face is so complex, seems helpless, seed very worried. Gu Yun hesitated for a mont and asked,
or did I understand it wrongly, you do not like ?
Su Lings heart turns cold. He showed it obvious enough. In Qing Mos clear eyes he saw doubt and uncertainty. He sighed to himself, what kind of woman did he fell in love with? He wants her in his own life but seems like it is basically impossible. Su Ling in hopeless submission answered,
You did not understand wrong, I liked you.
It could have been a very beautiful show but Su Ling have been tortured ntally by Gu Yun.
Her heart was gently shocked for a mont, knowing is one thing. Listening to him in say it is another matter. Gu Yun bowed her head for a long ti before she said softly,
I do not know if this woman like you, this woman needs ti.
In fact, she is not completely sentintal how things are unintentionally or had not thought toward in that aspect, her energy are placed in other things, not thinking if that person for her is really Su Ling? Gu Yun slightly looked up, her eyes imdiately fell into a pair of tranquil black eyes, like a quite sea surface without waves, without reason , she was nervous, will he throw a hot temper or will he reply indifferently and say nothing?
Dont let wait too long.
In a deep voice, filled with deep frustration and a hint of drowned love. Gu Yun secretly relieved, maybe she can put the decision in the hands of ti . She can give the decision when he cos back ho from his sacrificial offerings to the ancestors which may take several months.She can take advantage of this opportunity to think about it if she likes him in the end .
Gu Yun was still busy secretly organizing her affairs in her mind, her light body were picked up by a pair of strong hands.
Gu Yun exclaid, What are you doing?! Protecting her chest wound she dare not move, but being held the way it is very strange.
Su Ling prudently replied, Back to the Generals Manor. He knows that these little woman in his arms has a keen mind, sharp, vigorous and resolute. But only in love and pertaining to affection she makes people confused and distressed. But her slowness is also good because she is slow and will not be able to pick up the signs . She will not be aware of those crazy bees chasing after the butterfly just like that Ao Tian, he even has wings of a feather!
My foot is not disabled! Gu Yun was distress, looking at the handso face who is now laughing. She wish she could pat his eyebrows with her palm and erase that look.
Standing outside the gate, Su ling stopped and looked at the annoyed woman in his arms, laughed in a low voice, You cant get out of bed to walk now or do you like being carried out?
-Carry.. outside?! Biting hard the root of her teeth almost snapped . Gu Yun while gnashing her teeth spit out the two words, Walk faster
Gu Yun stiflingly lowers her head, worried and ignored Su Ling. His mood actually especially good. It is good that the servants are not many in the courtyard. Zhuo Qing again has good intention and the also did not co out to tease her. Gu Yuns face finally relaxes a little.
Out of the yard, Gu Yun saw a large navy blue carriage parked at the door. She suddenly thought of sothing , glanced up at Su Ling and said, Oh Yes! Did you made an early preparations . In ten days, I have to select special forces officers.
Su Ling glared at her and coldly snort, You are not doing a thing of that sort! She is left only with half a life and she wants to train!
Gu Yun was helpless, I will just choose officers and it is not to start training with them.. Celebrations were over and the training of new special forces should go on the agenda.
Thats not urgent at this ti. That can wait. He was only anxious that ti that Gu Yun was excessively bored and always thought of running about outside the manor thats why this training of soldiers was proposed. While he also have so expectations to what she called special troops, but now everything was not as important as her body.
You cant wait I cant wait!
The servant pull back the curtain, Su Ling gently put her down on the carriage, looking confused and asked, What are you so anxious about ?
I still owe you thousands of silver coins, I rember. Gu Yun replied naturally. Su Lings complexion suddenly beco stiff . He clenched his fist wishing he could grab and eat Qing Mo.
Gu Yun decided to crawl inside the carriage ignoring the thundering ROAR outside . The debts are to be accounted and not to be taken for granted.
In the Generals House. Heavenly Courtyard.
After the last fight, the courtyard was totally trashed by General Su Ling and Ao Tian. After renovations it has shown so human touch. The huge courtyard finally have a decent table and chairs that one doesnt need to sit on the ground. The trees were burned up in the yard. General Su got so people to moved few old trees from the mountain and the dense shade covered almost the entire garden. The shade in the yard is very comfortable and everywhere you look there is sight of lush green trees. Quite beautiful but he is not known for these aesthetic taste, sothing is strange!
Beside the brand new jade square table and a bowl of dicine that has cooled off, there sits a man and a woman looking at each other.
Havent you been busy recently? Gu Yun humped.
Truly I am not too busy.
Gu Yun lanted, You have nothing else to do?
If you can be like a little darling and drink the dicine out, Ill have more ti to do other things. He did not know that the dicine that needs to be taken three tis a day is so hard to put into her mouth. But his patience is getting better .
Ive been healed.
Theres no room for negotiation. Su Ling insisted, The doctor said you have to take this dicine for half a month.
If I drink, you let go?
After a low sigh, Su Ling compromised, Only on the platform.
Deal!
With that, Gu Yun grabbed a dicine bowl without wrinkling a brow drank the concoction in one gulp. She put the empty bowl down. Gu Yun looked to the side of his chin, after being bored looking at them for a long ti she asked, Shall I asked to prepare things ready?
Slowly sitting up and stretching his waist, Su Ren laughs,
Already prepared.
For more than ten days, the this pair often have a stalemate over a bowl of dicine for one or two hours. Although the final concoction will end into mouth of Qing Mo, it always depend on big brothers compliance for certain conditions. With so curiosity big brother really did spoil her to what extent?
Gu Yun nodded with satisfaction but still did not set out actually. Steadily sitting on the stone stool her index finger suddenly taps . No one knew whats in her mind.
Su Yu coming by the courtyard from the outside, seeing the laid back attitude of Qing Mo was unable to restrain his burning anger.
Its almost shenshi (3-5pm). The soldiers were basking in the hot sun for two hours, you also choose not to select?
Although it is autumn, sun has not converged at all, he has to wait in the training field all afternoon and she is unexpectedly enjoying the cool air under the tree shade to chat!
Gu Yun looked up at the sky lush foliage but one can still see the glare of sunlight. She replied in a low voice,
Its not yet the ti.
Wait for the sun to descend the mountain again!
Gu Yun smiled and boldly replied: What I am waiting for is for the sun to descend the mountain.
You requests the soldiers to line up in formation at noon! Su Yu was furious, and her body is also not good, he does not approve of her to select soldiers under the sun, but if she want to choose in the evening why then the request to line them in formation at noon an? Exposure in the sun will demonstrate the top form!
Gu Yun is looking pensive and rightly replied,
The tests should continue on. The soldier who cannot bear the sun is not the soldier that I want!
Su Yu was slightly dazed, glanced at the face of his Eldest Brother and Second Brother, do they know it has been a test until dark by Qing Mo ? Su Yus heart under the indifference impulse, was depressed and turned around out of the courtyard.
Su Yu gently shook his head . He is older than the Qing Mo, but compared with her, how it seems so impetuous. He t the two of Qing three sisters. Wondering about their parents in the end is what kind of character were they to raise such a daughter!
Su Ren was given the responsibility to observe . Gu Yun graciously let him watch. He seed bored and so she asked, Su Ren, Miss Ye back yet?
Su Ren gathered back his composure saying, After the celebration performance she went back. The case is closed. She has no reason to stay here.
How did she perform?
Thought of that day. Ye i against the wind sets up the appearance above the platform , the of her clothes flutters about and swirling. Su Rens mouth unconsciously clicked and said, Very good.
Gee, this click of the tongue and the very good has more profound aning leering Su Ren. Gu Yun said with a faint smile,
It is a pity that day I have not been able to watch it. Pick another day to invite her to Generals Manor, what do you think of it?
Su Ren surprised at the mont .Ah, get anyone.. If she wants to invite her why ask him ? He faintly felt sothings wrong and the matter doesnt suit him. He gets up and found a reason to be excused, I want to go to the training ground to see if its preparations are done appropriately.
Su Lings felt funny. This woman is like a rare and beautiful flower. She is such keen to others sentints but insensitive of her own!
Su Ren had just walked out of the courtyard when they heard a screaming voice, loud from afar,
-Eldest Brother!
Su Ling got up and looking at Su Ren, his heart had a bad premonition about this. Su Yu even with his nasty temperant will not be this rude.
Eldest Brother! -Eldest Brother! -Eldest Brother!
Su Yu hastily called with flushed face and crashing back to the Generals Manor.
Su Ren standing by the doorway have the look of shock and anxiety on his face,
What happened?
Yan* ! Yan! Su Ren look at Su Ling anxiously, The old man ca!
( *Yan- aning uncle from the fathers side)
Su Lings face was frozen, Why is he here?
Su Yu cried out another tragic news,
Not only the Eldest Yan but also ca Yan Hu
The man is busy why he also ca,
Su Ren exclaid glancing at invincible Qing Mo Very well .. this will be a very lively busting.
Three n were standing at the gate and there is a look of apprehension.. Gu Yuns elbow is at the table and her body is half lying comfortably watching at the scene laughing interestingly,
May I ask, who is to co that should not co? Who is such a big person that these three Su generals frightened this way?
Gu Yun was left behind.
With low roar a man as tall as a mountain appeared in the court,
Brats, running so fast! Wanted to notify my presence!
Su Ren was caught by generous large palm slapped him on the shoulder. Su Yu was shot to the chest and did not dare to cough up. He muffled the simring cough until his face beca red as liver. And for this person Su Rens tall sturdy posture was instantly dwarfed a lot. No wonder they dare not speak!
Gu Yun sat up straight with her very thin body and look at the mans appearance. It is full of beard such as one can barely see his face. A pair of intense Tiger eyes, thick body, disquieting, sonorous voice. If not that gray hair she will think that he is only 40 years old.
Good fun and how it all ca together in this manor?
The voice of one Elder can put a person in a mont of trance. Gu Yun in her mind , as the prestige goes , a plain clothes robes, white-haired old man appeared in the courtyard, the aura of immortal winds, unspeakable elegance, thin as if a gust of wind can blow away, the bearded man standing strong like a mountain standing next to the uncle in sharp contrast is sothing also to behold!
Following the white-haired old man is a person?
Gu Yun was stunned. The man doesnt look too old about , 50-sothing, but he is covered with at, like a ball, with a big smile on his face, much like the Maitreya Buddha. Gu Yun is wondering of these three human. Their build are really distinct in character and in addition to the bearded uncle and two others they really do not look like the Su families.
Not happy to see us ? asked Uncle Maitreya and for the three people it did not make them relaxed but as soon as they heard the gentle llow voice their whole body shakes instead.
Su Ling is the first to react, he laughs, Uncle, you said you have worked hard all the way to the front office, take a break by drinking tea . I already ordered soone to prepare the guest rooms.
It is the most sensible! High as strong as the beard Yan Hu said, staring from beginning to end showing an expression that he was not pleased. Su Ling, dont be like soone who gives us these old fool look!
Su Ling pretended not to see him annoyed and said dismissively, Head of the clan elders, Chief, Quan Shu and Yan Hu.
Hmm The white-haired old man smiled and nodded he did not mind Su Ling cold tone and dark face .
Three uncle ca from afar, I do not know what is the matter Su Yu think it is strange this ti especially three people ca together. Normally, two of them together will not even co to simply visit them.
Why we will co for nothing ? Yan Hu roared. Su Yu shrank like a chicken imdiately, Certainly not . I simply want to ask . for humor he want to say Yes but though he is not afraid of death his shoulder however still hurts like hell and totally bruised.
Yan Hu is looking at Gu Yun avidly asked in a loud voice ,
Who is this ugly servant girl?
Ugly girl! Gu Yun gently raised her eyebrows and in her heart she indifferent not at all angry. If she replied it is like acknowledging she is ugly! Gu Yun did not say anything. Yan Hu was unhappy and walked towards her.
For fear of Qing Mo annoying Yan Hu, Su Ren went quickly to smooth things over,
she is
he only said two words and he did not know how to continue . If she says she is Royal Emperors gift, gift? He estimated, Qing Mo will hate him to the end . He cant say she brothers woman lest he wants to die faster!
Yan Hu walk towards Gu Yun and standing in her side he asked,
Girl, whats your na?
Gu Yun politely stood up and replied, Qing Mo.
You are Qing Mo?
He swept her a look. Her entire body is only half of his chest. Shes so thin that she can be broken by simple touch. Yan Hu s obvious surprise run across his eyes. Gu Yun did not know why he had that look after hearing her na. The next second however the generous hands grabs her shoulder to examine.
Gu Yun, quickly step back and swerved to avoid his hand. His palm strength is not light . In the past she could accept that like nothing but now she just got an injury. She manage to heal the wounds and to be patted by him, the wound will open once again! Zhou Qing already desperately did the utmost to save her!
While Yan Hus hands tried to grab the petite body the second ti, suddenly a shadow so fast moved across from the side. Su Ling s tall figure crossed in front of the petite figure blocking that palm which also happens to fall on his shoulders.
Su Ling forcefully carry the heavy palm. Yan Hu thoughtfully recover the hand back. Su Ling quickly turned to check on Gu Yun and saw the hand clutching over her chest. His brows knitted together and his face paled. Su Lings heart bursting forth anxiously asked,
Mo Er,** how are you? Did your chest hurt?
(Mo Er ** Er after a na is a call of endearnt aning child or like babe)
Mo Er? Gu Yuns burning chest pained terribly .What Su Ling just called her Mo Er? . She wants to shout a damning curse word and thought that the way he is calling her this is in order to hide her to the old man who by that ti already withdrawn his hand. She estimated to have pulled into the wound causing the pain. None of this Su family are gentle. Their moves at every turn though looked elderly or young they are all very boisterous!
Seeing her disorderly breathing and not giving him a reply, Su Ling anxiously growled,
Su Ren, quick send for a physician.!
Su Ren nods and was about to go out when Gu Yun suddenly yelled,
This is nothing important!.
She took a deep breath stand up straight . The wave of pain has begun to disperse. She wave her hand and insists, Im alright! If a physician were to co he wont be doing anything but say that this is injury is nothing to be serious about .
Really nothing?
Su Ling was not assured. In order to ease his mind, Gu Yun raised a faint smile. A smile like a soft gentle night breeze was blowing which inexplicably will make a heart tremble. She doesnt have to smile Su Ling thought crazily in his mind.
Yan Hu watching and he cant bear the stupid type. Su Ling was looking like a silly soul. Fearing that other people cannot hear him, he casually said,
Where did you find this sick dispirited ugly woman? Su Ling , your judgnt are getting too bad!
He did not hit her but she displayed that faintly appearance and on the table also has a dicine bowl. Obviously this girls young body is weak.
For Yan Hus evaluation Gu Yun have no comnt. However, Su Ling apparently does care about the matter ( being a weak ugly girl). He held Gu Yuns cold hands. Her dark eyes filled with chill and sowhat little uneasy, but she didnt say anything. These people are Sus elders and Su Ling will take hold of their sense of concern and act with so discretion.
Gu Yun sat down on a stone stool. Su Ling did not look at the elder. The stool already adequately represented in the tone of what he ant,
You co to live here but dont trouble her please.
The other two elderly Su gave Qing Mo a glance but their look fell again to Su Ling who is now beside the woman caring for her. She was able to escape Yan Hus examination but still obviously by no ans she is a weak person. Su Ling cant be with that kind of won! This is too bad they feared that Su Lings affections for her already rooted deeply.
Today everyone is caught in a surprise, Yan Shu was annoyed and scolded ,
He is your elder, dare you talk to Yan Hu!
Su Ling ignored him, facing Gu Yun he whispered: Go lie down for a while?
Gu Yun looked up at the sky, setting sun falls gradually and it begin to dark. She shook her head replied,
It is nothing . Im pretty good. Its about ti to go to the training ground.
Su Ling said nothing. He held her hand and held it tightly. Gu Yun quickly said,
Only on the high platform, I promise!
Against Su Ling, she is more and more experienced. Hes like a proud lion with a smooth mane and one has to be able talk him into things smoothly.
Sure enough, Su Ling does not look so good, but still leave the group of people and helped her out of the court. He intended to ignore them! Yan Shu leisurely pedal two high backs and asked,
Where did they go?
Uhh ! Su Yu hesitated . Is he going to say they are going to select soldiers?
Ones shoulders suddenly felt heavy. Uncles smiling face is very close,
Yu, you are the best, there is an interesting things happening and you did not tell us? The voice gentle sounds is giving Su Yu a goose bumps.
Nothing!
Su Yu imdiately decided he might as well dont tell them or dont know what trouble they might do.
Huh? All eyes were narrowed into slits and their faces displayed an unbelief..
Su Yu smiled and continued to play to fool them , Its just training and that sort of thing. You also know that training is the very normal the Generals Office
Su Yu look to Su Ren and with smile, and what do you have to say?
Su Ren readily said , Nothing! .
These three bastards .They are conniving together alright to deceived them! Su Yan was angry, Su Ren suddenly rembered sothing and said,
Hmm.. Yes, Bing Lian has selected a hostess.
Yan Su glared with his eyes, Of course we certainly know. What do you think of us, old bones? We ca here to make that happen! Really ? When did they idle and co with no purpose!
Su Ren with stiff smiling face said, That small girl is Bing Lian s choice?
Su Yu just shrugged.
No way. It is Impossible! Yan Shu with look of shock. Bing Lian have chosen a very inferior one this ti! This ti Bing Lian simply selected a weak but beautiful woman! Su Ling though his mother is not a martial arts expert at least her body is healthy. If this tiny woman had beco Su Lings wife, bearing him a child will be difficult?
Sothings is not right. The race emblem** recent frequent changes shows that Bing Lian has not been this excited after a hundred of years. The Qing Mo girl was not likely can control her appearance but there must be sothing hidden. Su Qing looked up, shakes the head gently, he scanned around with radiating eyes trying read soones eyes wanting to see so clues from that face but no matter what Su Ren is just smiling back at him..
**(i,e Baguawhich is also the clans Coat of Arms)
They have co this ti entirely because of Bing Lian. It has always guarded the Su mistress, but only guarding . This ti it is different, it seems to be excited that they cant help but co to find out. Heard Emperor Ling sent a woman called Qing Mo, at first they thought it would be her but after seeing her thin physique, he could not believe she could stimulate and control the power of Bing Lian around.
Yan Shu picked up Su Ren by the collar crooned him to tell him the truth ,
Ren, you are not telling that body like a child is worthy of Bing Lian? Isnt her body cold enough as she was?!
Su Ren smiled and opened the Yan Shus hands and said, The three uncles co along with , wait a little while and see if she is unworthy then youll find it yourself . He rembers the battle formation on the training field and the touch of weird smile appear on his lips.
What does that an? The three n looked at each other blankly.
Yan Shu chased behind the other elders who rushed to the practice field only to see the huge open space, densely standing are several thousands of soldiers .The entire field is in complete silence and sowhat frighteningly peaceful. The sun already descended the mountain and the ground had no torch so the expression of the faces on the field is not clear. Even so thousands n have an aura of elite indifference and pushed hard to breathe . What even more peculiar is that one can faintly feel resentnt and wrath.
Those small eyes are squinting, narrowed and then squint again and finally saw the tall dark figure of Su Ling standing on the platform. The elders are looking at Su Ren on the side, smiled and asked, Ling is going to train? You young brat, why do you call us for? They are not very interested in training.
Su Ren was silent. Yan Shu found Su Ling. But also on the platform wiping about is touch of petite shadow. His face imdiately turned black . When did the Su General Office start training woman?!..
Su ling-what the hell, spoil a woman but it should not be spoiled to this point! No wonder why n have resentnt in their hearts!
Hmm, Yan Hu, since we are at the topic to talk about it, it best not to call her woman as in woman- woman to her face, or ..
Su Yu cough two tis, did not go on. Now he get goose bumps as soon as he hears the word woman. At the ti when he shouted to her like what uncle is doing now he was truncated on the face. The appearance of a weak child is gone !
Su Yan Hu without hesitation replied, or She will get ?
To avoid further misery Su Yu and Su Ren thought it more clever to say nothing anymore.
There is an inexplicable bewildered look at Han Shu all afternoon. Irritation is not small. Facing an opposite mind. His emotion is getting low, he exclaid to Gu Yun, In the end what do you want to do? It is already dark.
Gu Yun lightly laughs: Ah, chant fire.
Han Shu do not understand what she thinking .He is beyond being annoyed but still he carried the order and shouted,
Fire!
Han Shu point the torch and the training field imdiately lit up. Lighting the training field also lit up the faces of three thousand n full of steely resolved .
Gu Yun raised her eyebrow gently, looking good, physiques exposed to all afternoon under the sun, still quite energetic, posture is still upright, unstoppable, no trace losing their breath, Han Shu for those three thousand n people also took so pains. No wonder he is so distressed by them.
Gu Yun slowly got up, her wrist are tightly held. Su Ling dark black eyes are
coldly watching her. Gu Yun sigh, this man really is difficult.!
Reluctantly curling her lips. Gu Yun explains,
I will just tell them the rules and be rest assured. I cant do that under the high platform. She is not crazy because this little life . she also cherishes it!
Su Ling eventually loosened her hand but in his heart he started to regret. Actually at that ti, how could he propose let her train? Looking at her incomparably earnest appearance . She looks like she takes this very seriously. Su ling in addition has no choice but to follow her.
Gu Yun went to the front of the high platform. Her sparkling jade like eyes slowly sweeps on the training field she saw faces casting a chill and resolute looks, experienced for a long ti working off with anger which the sandy training brought out, even if they didnt do anything it can also make you be frightened. Gu Yun s lips has no appearance of frivolousness or recklessness, suddenly there was a feeling of excitent . Six months ago they are a group of coward youngsters. Shes really looking forward to their performance.
High on the stage in his blue suits, the long hair tied high was Su Yu. He is standing also before the group of iron face n full of calmness.
Yan Shu pointed to Gu Yun and asked, What is she doin ?
Yan Shu was secretly observing at the side of the Su Qing. He slowly stroked his long beard. They look at Gu with full inquiry. Su Ren snickered, he did not answer the question of Yan Shu,
Three uncles sit down on the high platform and watch it slowly.
Su Qing nodded in interest and cheerfully smile but Su Yan Hus face was upset .
Su Yu brought the two n in high-profile sides to sit down the platform. Su Ling turned around and saw them, giving them a aningful glance. The complaining eyes sank on Su Ren who was avoiding his view and was looking around like following a flying bird pretending not see. Behind them is Gu Yun watching the eye completion and thinking of all places why have competition here.
