Chapter 337 The Ability to Not Fear Betrayal
The sharp arrow blade flashed coldly under the cold white moonlight, aiming at Su Rui's eyebrows. As long as Rong Huan's finger pulled the trigger, the crossbow arrow would surely pierce through Su Rui's eyebrows.
Death is certain.
"I can't move. The princess's aim is incredibly accurate, and this crossbow arrow is incredibly sharp. It will definitely kill me." But... "Unfortunately, there's no chance."
Rong Huan was stunned when she heard this.
No chance?
How could there be no chance to kill Su Rui?
Whether in Weicheng or Shengjing before, she didn't kill her. If she wanted to kill her, it wouldn't be a difficult thing. What's more, now that she couldn't even move a finger, killing her would be as easy as crushing an ant.
Just as he raised the corner of his lips in a sneer, and before the sarcastic words came out of his mouth, a black shadow leaped through the firelight and landed in front of Su Rui.
"Meow~"
A cat's meow, with a sharp sound.
A...black cat?
How could there be cats in the mountains?
The cat stood in front of Su Rui like a guardian angel, with its blue eyes staring at her intently, its back arched, and all the feline energy in its body puffing up, as if it would fight to the death with her if it did anything to Su Rui's detriment.
I seem to have seen this kind of momentum somewhere before...
'Boom! '
After thinking about where she had seen it before, Rong Huan pulled the trigger of the crossbow without hesitation.
The sharp crossbow arrow flew through the wind and headed straight for Su Rui who was unable to move.
The Black Bodhisattva jumped up, used his feet to push away the crossbow arrows, but at the moment he jumped, Rong Huan fired two more.
One aimed at Su Rui's throat and the other at her heart.
The distance was too great, and even though the Black Bodhisattva was agile, he couldn't turn around to intercept the two arrows in a short period of time.
But facing the two unstoppable crossbow arrows flying at him, Su Rui was not afraid at all. He just watched calmly, as if he was sure that the two arrows could not hurt him at all.
However, the two arrows seemed determined to prove themselves, breaking through the air and rapidly approaching Su Rui.
It was only two fingers away, and in the next moment it would pierce through Su Rui's throat and heart just like it pierced through the witch.
'Bang! Bang!'
Two crossbow arrows were hit by something on the arrow blades, making a hitting sound, and changed direction, passing by Su Rui's neck. The other one just pierced Su Rui's sleeve but did not hurt him at all.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of horse hooves rang out in the lonely valley, and the echoes collided back and forth, as if coming from all directions, and it was impossible to tell how many people and horses there were.
Rong Huan's face turned pale. She stared at Su Rui and asked unwillingly, "How did you do it?"
Su Rui raised the corners of her mouth. If she could move now, she would have turned up her sleeves to show Rong Huan. However, verbal explanation was enough.
"It's all thanks to the perfume on you, Princess. It can cover up any bad smell, and it can also cover up any perfume that smells almost as bad."
Rong Huan was stunned, but when she recalled the moment when her souls exchanged with Su Rui, she seemed to have smelled a faint odor on her body.
In his ecstasy, he didn't think much about it and just thought that she was infected somewhere in the mountains.
A moment of negligence, the result...
"Impossible! You were unconscious the whole time, and the smell is so light that no one can smell it. It's impossible to track you!"
"Humans can't smell it, but a cat's nose is several times more sensitive than ours. Black Bodhisattva is very intelligent, and I've trained him long ago. Even though I'm unconscious, the scented powder will fall from my sleeves when I shake it. Once it finds Yun Ji, it will follow the scent and bring him back. So, Princess, do you understand where I failed?"
Rong Huan didn't expect it to be like this. She actually lost to a beast.
No!
She wasn't defeated by the Black Bodhisattva, but... "You actually communicated with Yun Ji long ago! When?"
She had no idea at all.
She had never even thought that Su Rui and Yun Ji could reconcile and communicate with each other. After all, the gap between them was getting deeper and deeper. How could they break their vows so easily and trust each other so much and give their lives to each other?
"Not too early, just two days ago." Su Rui said lightly.
Rong Huan didn't believe it even more.
It was only two days.
Moreover, Su Rui never disappeared from her own custody, which means that the time she met Yun Ji was not long, even only for an hour.
In such a short time, the two of them were not only able to communicate with each other and eliminate the barriers, but also to set up such a plan to take advantage of the opponent's opponent, and it was even extremely precise. Just now, if Yun Ji had acted a moment later, Su Rui would have died.
Rong Huan looked at Su Rui in confusion.
She doesn't understand.
Why? Why would Su Rui, who had experienced betrayal and torture in her previous life, trust Yun Ji to the point of risking her life, without fear of repeating the same mistake?
This time, Su Rui saw through the doubt in Rong Huan's eyes and smiled, "I believe him because I have the ability to trust and not fear betrayal."
Not afraid of betrayal?
How can I not be afraid?
They had all experienced this, so why was Su Rui not afraid of what was in her instinct at the moment?
People's hearts are fickle, doesn't she understand?
Rong Huan still didn't understand, and Su Rui stopped explaining.
They were all reborn, but they were not the same people. They each made their own choices, and there was no right or wrong.
People's hearts are simple and unpredictable, but walking alone in this world is a lonely and difficult road. She chose not to give up because of fear. It was her choice to follow her heart. She did not need others' approval, but only needed to take responsibility for herself.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was already close to his ears. Yun Ji's figure emerged from the darkness into the firelight, his pair of bright and compassionate eyes filled with fear and anxiety.
Without getting off the horse, he jumped over and picked up Su Rui for a careful examination.
"I'm fine, just... tired."
After saying the last word and smelling the soothing scent of sandalwood, Su Rui no longer held on and closed her eyes, completely giving herself to Yun Ji.
He quickly mounted his horse while holding the unconscious Su Rui, turned around and headed back into the darkness, without even glancing at Rong Huan.
Rong Huan sat alone on the altar, looking at the bonfire that was still burning and flickering. She was unwilling but helpless, and allowed the soldiers behind her to come and "rescue" her.
…
In the dream, there was another hazy white fog.
Su Rui knew she was in a dream, but she felt at ease.
He walked in with familiar steps, and the white mist gradually dissipated, revealing the Canglan Courtyard in his dreams.
This time, there was no Marquis Yong'an, no Su Ye, only mother.
My mother, who was sitting on the stone bench, was waving at me with a smile.
Su Rui walked closer, squatted down, hugged her mother, put her head on her mother's legs, and felt the long-lost warmth.
Her mother's hand gently stroked her head and said with a gentle smile: "You are so grown up, but you still act like a child."
Su Rui's eyes were red and her nose was sore. She said in a deep voice, "I miss you, mother."
"Mother misses you too, but Rui'er, you are my own now. You have to move forward in life and not dwell on the past. Mother can only accompany you for this journey."
The sound was getting farther and farther away, the white mist was getting thicker, and the temperature I felt was fading away.
