Chapter 80: Cao Yude
At this time, it was late at night, and Su Yi's soul returned to his body, and his spirit was a little sluggish, but there was no trace of tiredness. He opened his palm, and saw a blood-red circular mark on the palm of his hand, like a tattoo, and the runes on it were almost the same as those engraved on the fire. The mark gradually faded under Su Yi's gaze, and finally dissolved in the palm of his hand.
His mind moved, and the mark appeared in his palm again. The red light flashed, and the fire came out of the palm of his hand again, floating in midair. The red light dissipated, and it fell back into his hand after leaving the fire. After playing with it for a long time, Su Yi put it away, turned his hand over and changed it again, playing happily, and becoming more and more proficient. It wasn't until sleepiness hit him that he stopped and fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already the third pole of the sun, and Su Yi simply did not go to the Golden Lion Troupe, but went directly to Cao Cheng.
At this time, Cao Cheng was reading the medicine scriptures in front of the window, and when she saw that she was tired, she raised her head and moved her neck, and saw Su Yi looking at him with a smile, so she immediately put down the book and stood up and said, "Brother Su Yi, when did you come?"
"I've been looking at you for a long time. Su Yi smiled and said, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Cao Cheng heard Su Yi really call her "Cheng'er", her face flushed, and she remembered that she fell asleep on his lap last night, and she was even more shy.
Su Yi knew that she was thin-skinned, so he didn't tease her anymore, and said, "Miss Cao, Dr. Yan has something to tell your father, can you please do it for you?"
Cao Cheng was a little disappointed, but still asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's about Han Fei..."
"It's better for Brother Su Yi and Brother Su Yi to go to see my father together," Cao Yi said, "This matter will be better for Brother Su Yi." ”
Su Yi also felt that there was some truth, so he happily said, "That's fine." ”
In Cao Yude's study.
"I've seen Master Cao. Su Yi said respectfully.
"Are you the disciple of Li Laoxin?" Cao Yude took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"The juniors are not the disciples of the old Li seniors. Su Yi said calmly, "The seniors only taught the younger generations the craft of lion dance for a few days, and did not formally apprentice." ”
"No wonder," Cao Yude suddenly laughed, "It turns out that it's not that Elder Li doesn't want to take you as an apprentice, it's that you don't want to be his apprentice." No wonder Li Lao always looked depressed when he mentioned this matter. ”
"It's... Master Cao misunderstood. It's not that the juniors don't want to apprentice, it's just that the juniors don't dare to enter the walls of others without the permission of the teacher. Su Yi forcibly explained.
Cao Cheng also said angrily: "Dad!"
Cao Yude suddenly coughed violently, Cao Yuan saw this and hurriedly helped him stroke his back, and after a long pause, he continued: "Yes, yes." Or is it more important to get down to business. ”
"Master Cao, this time the junior was entrusted by Yan Qibai's predecessors to specially come to inform him about the Diyuan Sect. Su Yi no longer beat around the bush and said bluntly.
"Mr. Yan... Di Yuan Sect..."Cao Yude finally restrained his smile and muttered, "You continue. ”
"Old Master Yan must have heard about the disappearance of Senior Yan five years ago. And the person who laid the black hand behind his back is called Han Fei. This person is a person from the Earth Yuan Sect. ”
"I didn't expect to hear the news of Yan Lao, if your grandfather knew about it, he would definitely be very happy. Cao Yude said to Cao Yi, then turned to Su Yi and asked, "Yan Lao, is he okay now?"
Su Yi hesitated, but decided not to mention Yan Qibai's miserable economy for the time being, and just said, "Old Yan is fine." ”
"That's good..."Cao Yude breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So what does Elder Yan mean is that the source of all conspiracies is Diyuan Sect?"
"The Yan seniors and juniors are also guessing, so the Yan seniors hope that the Cao family can take precautions in advance. He said... Master Cao, you know what to do. Su Yi said.
Cao Yude stood up, paced back and forth, and said, "I understand." This time it's really thanks to Su Yi's little friend, it's hard work. He was born with no preference for politeness, and even if he was grateful, he would not say much praise on his lips.
"It's just a gesture. Su Yi said, "I don't know how Master Cao will prepare, but is there anything that needs the help of juniors?"
"Xiaoyou has a heart, if there is a need, the old man will not be polite. Cao Yude shook his head as he spoke: "However, the Diyuan Sect is too far away from Beiyi, and its power is not comparable to that of the Cao family alone. The old man couldn't think of any way for a while, so he could only gather the people first and then discuss. ”
"Master Cao, the younger generation heard that Senior Yan has a great relationship with Old Lady Cao... Maybe he'll have a way?"
Cao Yude sighed and said: "My grandfather's health has been deteriorating recently, and now he is often unconscious. It's a good thing that she has found Yan Lao now, but it's hard to say whether her grandfather can still remember these things. I don't want to disturb him unless I have to. Let him live for the rest of his life. ”
"I don't know what kind of illness Old Lady Cao had, and she would be so forgetful. Su Yi wondered.
Cao Yude paused for a moment and said: "People are forgetful in old age, and they work too much, so it is normal to have such symptoms..."
"But according to what the younger generation heard from Yan's predecessors, just five years ago, Mrs. Cao was still old and strong, and there was no sign of aging at all. Old Lady Cao is also a person who practices martial arts, but after the attack of Yan's predecessors, he became a dying old man in just five years. The juniors just think... It's very strange. Su Yi said.
Cao Yude frowned and pondered: "Five years ago, the old man tried his best to find Yan Lao to no avail, and there was a period of time when he blamed himself, and often hid in the room to introspect. Later, his body was not as good as a year, and we only thought that he was in a hurry, coupled with his old body, so he fell ill. But now it seems that five years is indeed too short, and Yan Lao also judges. Maybe the old man's illness... It's really strange. ”
Cao Cheng also thought about it carefully and said: "I often serve my grandfather, and I remember that my grandfather was not very forgetful four years ago. By now, I can barely call my name. ”
"Since Master Cao also has this idea, it is better to let the juniors consult the seniors of Yan to see if they can find any clues. Su Yi groaned.
Cao Yude hugged his fist at Su Yi and said sincerely: "This is really a little friend of Lao Suyi, and I, Cao, am very grateful." ”
Coming out of the study, Su Yi walked in front, suddenly stopped, and said, "Child, I think not only your grandfather is sick, maybe your father's illness... There are also many secrets. ”
"What?" Cao Cheng exclaimed, "that... We... I'll tell my dad to go. ”
Su Yi shook his head and said, "I think your father may already have a number in his heart, but there is no way to deal with it for the time being." It's time to talk to your three brothers again. ”
"But..."
Su Yi suddenly smiled: "I promised that I would find the 'Night Hidden Wall Dew', have you forgotten?"
Cao Cheng almost couldn't hold back her tears, and whispered with a red face: "Thank you..."
