Chapter 223 You Are My Savior
"Auntie Wang, Uncle Wang, we have decided to take you as our teachers and inherit your legacy. However, martial arts is not our main focus, so we cannot devote all our energy to it. If you are willing to accept this, please drink this cup of tea."
Both made the same decision.
The couple nodded in satisfaction and accepted the cup of tea.
With an heir, they have a goal. If they work hard in the future, they will definitely fall in love with martial arts.
"Good disciple! Get up quickly."
"Why is it like a wedding ceremony?"
Jiang Yao's face flushed and he quickly stood up.
The four masters and apprentices talked happily for a while, discussing going back in two days, and finally Uncle Wang made a decision.
"This time I will go to Kyoto with you to live for a while. I haven't seen the master and his wife for a long time. It's a good opportunity to meet them."
Jiang Yao smiled and said, "A warm welcome."
A crisis averted.
In the afternoon, taking advantage of his free time, Li Beiting took Jiang Yao out for a walk.
This place is shaded by green trees and has beautiful mountains and clear waters.
Although it is Jiang Yao's birthplace, she is actually not familiar with it.
Li Beiting grew up here and introduced the places to her one by one, explaining their origins.
"That building in front has hundreds of years of history, but it's actually a cursed house. It's said that four couples have lived in it. They were all very happy when they moved in, but in the end, they either killed each other or died tragically..."
In order to cater to the terrifying atmosphere, Li Beiting deliberately lowered his voice, revealing a gloomy aura.
Jiang Yao's mouth twitched, "Are you trying to tell me that lovers will eventually become enemies?"
"No, I mean, the curse was broken when the fifth couple moved in!"
"Why?"
"Because they truly love each other. So from now on, every couple passing by this old house can pray. As long as they truly love each other, I will bless them to be together forever."
Li Beiting said this, turned to look at Jiang Yao, and said with a smile: "Do you want to give it a try?"
"We are not a couple."
Jiang Yao said this with a red face and walked forward quickly.
Li Beiting followed with a smile, and warned: "Slow down, there is a lake ahead, be careful of danger——"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cry for help suddenly came from the lake not far away.
"Help, help—"
"Someone fell into the water!"
Jiang Yao saw the figure emerging from the lake and without thinking, he took off his coat and jumped down.
"Yaoyao."
Li Beiting's face darkened, and he jumped down without hesitation.
They swam all the way to the center of the lake, and before the child completely sank to the bottom of the water, Jiang Yao grabbed him.
The child clung to her hand tightly, as if grasping at the only life-saving straw, but was trying to drag her down.
Jiang Yao knew that people who fell into the water had no control over their own behavior. The child's strength could not be greater than hers, but for some reason, her body began to sink.
At the critical moment, Li Beiting arrived in time and hugged her from behind.
Jiang Yao grabbed the child.
The three of them swam towards the shore together.
He was finally rescued successfully.
The child choked on water several times and finally woke up. His mother hugged him, crying and bowing to them repeatedly to thank them and even gave them money.
"No, really."
Jiang Yao was a little overwhelmed, so he grabbed Li Beiting's hand and turned to run.
After running for a long distance, she realized that the person next to her was unusually quiet.
Jiang Yao turned around in confusion and met a pair of eyes filled with strong emotions.
Such strong emotions seemed to swallow her whole.
Jiang Yao couldn't bear it for a moment, "What's wrong with you?"
"Yaoyao, can you promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will never take risks with your life, okay?"
His voice was hoarse and a bit heavy.
Jiang Yao suddenly understood, his eyes softened, and he took the initiative to show weakness to him: "Just now, it was because of you that I was able to jump down without any worries. You are my greatest source of security."
Her words were like a coquettish act, and instantly touched the softest part of Li Beiting's heart.
He looked helpless and doting, and reached out to stroke her wet hair. "Go back and change first, you're all..."
Soaked.
Before she finished speaking, Li Beiting suddenly saw a familiar Ruyi pendant hanging on her wet chest.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and he took two steps forward and stretched out his hand towards her.
"What are you doing!" Jiang Yao subconsciously covered his chest and stared at him with red cheeks.
Li Beiting realized that his actions were somewhat ambiguous and quickly withdrew his hand. "You, your jade pendant—"
Jiang Yao finally understood what he was referring to and reached out to take off the Ruyi pendant from around his neck. "What's wrong with this jade pendant?"
She rarely wears this thing on her body on weekdays, but she took it out of the safe specially when she returned to South City this time.
Li Beiting's expression was filled with a rare sense of uneasiness: "Can you let me see it?"
Although Jiang Yao didn't understand why, he still gave him the jade pendant.
He reached out to take it, touched it carefully, and carefully observed the patterns and colors on it. Li Beiting immediately came to a conclusion.
This is the piece he saw at the beginning, worn by the little girl who saved him!
"Yaoyao, you were the little girl who saved me back then!" Li Beiting excitedly grabbed her shoulders, "But why did you say you had never been to that city..."
Jiang Yao looked puzzled. "What do you mean by saving you? What are you talking about?"
"Don't you remember?"
Li Beiting told Jiang Yao how she bravely rescued him after he was kidnapped as a child.
After listening carefully, Jiang Yao felt very unfamiliar.
"Did you... recognize the wrong person?"
She hesitated for a moment before asking.
"This was the jade pendant you wore around your neck back then. Have you ever given this jade to anyone else?" Li Beiting asked.
"No, I've been wearing it since I was a child, but the jade is similar."
Jiang Yao did not recall this memory, she still felt that Li Beiting might have recognized the wrong person.
After all, it was a life-saving favor, so I can't pretend to be someone else.
Seeing her firm tone, Li Beiting couldn't help but start to doubt.
Could it be that he really guessed wrong?
It would be inappropriate for him to mention Yao Yuanxin at this time, so as not to upset her.
I can only suppress my doubts temporarily.
Putting the jade pendant back on her neck, Li Beiting promised her in a firm tone, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Let's go back and change clothes first."
Jiang Yao nodded obediently and followed him back to the courtyard.
While taking a shower, with the water pouring over her head, a light bulb went off in her head, and she suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she had lost a part of her memory due to a high fever.
She asked her adoptive parents about it at the time, but they both said nothing had happened, so Jiang Yao didn't ask any further.
Could it be related to this matter?
