"Third Senior Sister, do you know how much Little Junior Sister likes and relies on you?”
Fifth Junior Brother walked to an open space and raised his head to look at the twinkling stars in the sky. Hong Yan stopped in her tracks. She didn't understand why he would ask this.
"Third Senior Sister, every time you accept a mission, Little Junior Sister would always watch you leave and not return for a long time. She would only slowly walk back when the sun sets and would not listen to anyone's advice. Originally, we didn't know what she was doing there. There was once when I was curious and didn't go back with the other senior brothers and sisters. I stood at the side and watched what she was doing. Do you know what she's doing?"
Fifth Junior Brother glanced at Hong Yan who was standing beside him and continued without waiting for her to speak,""She was praying, praying that God would bless you with a safe return.”
Hong Yan was stunned. She imagined the scene of her standing there and praying for her after she left. No matter if it was windy or rainy, cold or hot, she would stand there as usual and pray for her safety.
"Cao Shu, why are you doing this? Even if my martial arts aren't as good as Eldest Brother's, there are very few people in this world who can hurt me. You shouldn't worry so much about me.”
Hong Yan murmured. She was deeply moved by Cao Shu and could no longer calm down.
"Third Senior Sister, I didn't tell you this because I wanted you to be grateful. I just wanted you to not hurt her. Eldest Senior Brother is deeply in love with her, and we are all very touched by it. However, he just doesn't have such good fortune as you. He can only blame himself for not knowing her as early as you. Third Senior Sister, I've said what I wanted to say. I won't disturb your rest."”
"Little Junior Sister, Cao Shu, I won't let off anyone who dares to hurt you.”
Early the next morning, Hong Yan carried her bag and walked out of the room. She came to Cao Shu's door and hesitated for a while before deciding to go in and see her. He had injured her yesterday. He did not know if her injuries were serious.
He walked gently and slowly to the bed. He saw that she was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed and her breathing was steady. He reached out to feel her pulse and heaved a sigh of relief. She was fine. As long as she rested more, she would be fine soon.
He didn't want to disturb her rest and turned around. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the person behind him say softly,""Is it Third Senior Sister?"
"Cao Shu."
Hong Yan rushed over and sat on the edge of the bed. She said nervously,"Cao Shu, it's me."
"Third Senior Sister, your martial arts are so powerful. I…I can't even take a single move.”
Cao Shu said softly with his eyes closed.
"Yes, but you have also improved a lot. If it was in the past, your injuries would probably be more serious than now. I'm sorry, it's Third Senior Sister's fault for injuring you.”
"Third Senior Sister, don't be sad. If you want to blame someone, blame my martial arts for being too weak. I was a little self-righteous and thought that after this period of practice, I would have improved. I didn't expect…Third Senior Sister, not only do I not blame you, but I also want to thank you. Don't worry, I'll definitely practice harder.”
He slowly opened his eyes and saw the bag on Hongyan's back. He recalled that not long ago, when he stood at the intersection of the mountain and watched her leave, she was carrying this bag.
"Third Senior Sister, are you going down the mountain?"
Cao Shu was anxious to sit up, but was held down by Hong Yan. No matter how hard she tried, she could not break free and had to lie back on the bed obediently.
"Cao Shu, listen to Third Senior Sister. Rest well and continue practicing martial arts. Don't worry, Third Senior Sister promises you that she will come back safely and won't let you worry. You have to listen to Eldest Senior Brother obediently and practice your martial arts well.”
Hong Yan didn't dare to say this to her, afraid that she would worry.
"En, Cao Shu will definitely listen to you and Eldest Shixiong. Third Shijie, you have to come back soon. I will pray to the heavens to protect you every day.”
"No, don't."
Hong Yan suddenly stood up and said sternly to Cao Shu,"Cao Shu, Third Senior Sister doesn't want your prayers. As long as you study hard and strive to take on Master's missions with me in the future.”
"Third Senior Sister, I promise you. You have to promise me that you will come back soon and safely.”
"I promise you. It's getting late. Have a good rest first. I…I'm leaving.”
She turned around and wiped away her tears. She really didn't want to tell her how dangerous this assassination mission was and whether it could be completed was unknown.
Cao Shu was lying on the bed, thinking about what Hong Yan had just said. A wave of uneasiness slowly rose in his heart. Was Third Senior Sister in danger this time? No way. Third Senior Sister's martial arts is so high. She will definitely be safe. She will definitely be safe. However, the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
