Chapter 64 Junior Tutor 2
"Get up and come with me." Jingren put one hand on Arou's shoulder and lifted her up from the ground. Then, facing the crowd, he turned his back and retreated, keeping a watchful eye on Fang Duobing's movements.
"Don't move. I'll release her once we're out of Pudu Temple. If you move again, I'll kill her immediately." Jingren quickly stopped Fang Duobing and Qiao Wanmian as they walked forward.
The two were so frightened that they stopped in their tracks.
Wu You and Qiao Wanmian were standing side by side. Because of Qiao Wanmian's step forward and the angle and lighting, Wu You's view of Jing Ren was mostly blocked, which also meant that Jing Ren could not see Wu You's movements.
Wu You wouldn't believe Jing Ren's claim that he would release A Rou once they left Pudu Temple. He would definitely kill her to silence her and then escape.
In the original drama, he also used the Junior Tutor to kill Arou and then escaped.
Wu You was pondering what tools he could use in his old house. There was no gun, and a bow and arrow wouldn't work either. He would have to nock an arrow and draw the bow, which would definitely be discovered. Throwing things at the target would also be difficult to control the force of.
After thinking for a moment, Wu You remembered the crossbow that Fang Duobing had made for him on the way to Pudu Temple a few days ago. It was a small crossbow that could be hidden in a sleeve, also known as a sleeve arrow. However, since he had his own spatial storage and could take it out at any time, he hadn't put it on his wrist.
Without making a sound, Wu You took out the hidden arrow from behind Qiao Wanmian, adjusted the angle and position, and quietly hid it in her wide sleeve.
Wu You stepped forward and took Qiao Wanmian's hand with her other hand, comforting her, "Sister A-Mian, let's listen to him first, otherwise Miss A-Rou will be in danger."
When Jingren saw that someone was trying to persuade him, he focused his attention on Fang Duobing, fearing that he might suddenly make a move.
Jingren pulled Arou back slowly until they reached a cave entrance that only one person could pass through. Wu You and the others followed at a distance, not coming forward.
Jingren glanced back at the narrow opening, wondering how he could get everyone out together.
The instant Jingren turned around, Wu You swiftly raised his arm and fired three arrows from his crossbow.
Although Jingren turned to check the cave entrance, he also kept his attention on this side. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a hidden weapon flying towards him and quickly swung his Shaoshi sword to block it.
Jingren had assumed that there were only two such rapid-fire hidden weapons, but after swinging his second sword, he saw a third one following closely behind. His injured arm was too injured to swing the third sword in time, so without thinking, Jingren grabbed Arou and blocked it in front of him.
But he didn't expect that the sleeve dart was small, and the arrowhead was even smaller. It had been polished very smoothly by Fang Duobing. The arrowhead went straight through Arou's shoulder and pierced his body again, with half of it embedded in his body.
Unable to hold on any longer, the two of them collapsed to the ground, and the young master also slipped and fell to the ground.
Wu You blew on his sleeve and teased, "Fang Duobing, I didn't expect you to have such a talent in this area. That force is so great. My archery skills are pretty good, aren't they?"
Although there were accidental injuries, they were minor matters compared to the loss of life.
Fang Duobing quickly went up to press Jingren's acupoints to immobilize him, Qiao Wanmian also went forward to support Arou who had fallen to the ground, and Wu You picked up the young master from the ground.
As expected of Li Xiangyi's sword, it has a great feel to it, not to mention that it still has such a luster after so many years.
"I remember the hidden arrow I made wasn't very powerful, so how did they fall down?" Fang Duobing wondered.
"That's because I smeared a sleeping potion on the arrowhead beforehand. Once it got on my blood, it instantly lost its strength and collapsed. How about that? Am I amazing?" Wu You said proudly.
"Stop joking around, let's hurry up and go find someone to help. Miss Arou also needs treatment."
Fang Duobing looked around, then reached out and pressed a spot, and a beam of light shone in.
"Miss Qiao, Wu You, you two stay here and keep watch. I'll go to Pudu Temple to find someone." Fang Duobing got up and left the cave after the two nodded.
Before long, Fang Duobing came in with several monks from Pudu Temple. Wu You and Qiao Wanmian quickly helped Arou onto the stretcher they brought and rushed her to get treatment.
As for Jingren, he was tied up with hemp rope that Fang Duobing had found at Pudu Temple and was also taken away.
The three of them came out of the passage. Wu You was so blinded by the bright light outside that she could hardly open her eyes. She quickly shielded her eyes with her hand. After a while, she felt that she had adjusted to the light and then put her hand down.
This was indeed the kitchen of Pudu Temple, and Abbot Wule was already standing in the kitchen waiting.
"Amitabha, it is my fault that such a murder and robbery occurred in the temple." Wu Liao looked at the group of people coming out of the passage, hurriedly stepped forward, performed a Buddhist salute, and apologized repeatedly.
"I heard that the monk came half a month ago, and it was around that time that he proposed holding the sword appreciation ceremony. It seems that he came specifically for the young master. Abbot, there's no need to blame yourself," Qiao Wanmian quickly comforted him.
“Yes, Abbot, thankfully no one was killed. Besides, there’s no way you can guard against thieves for a thousand days if you’re a thief for a thousand days,” Wu You added, trying to comfort him.
"No matter what, it was a problem caused by the monks of our Pudu Temple. Pudu Temple will definitely give Benefactor Qiao an explanation. This old monk sees that it is getting late and the time for the sword appreciation ceremony is approaching. Benefactors, you should hurry up and take the Junior Master Sword to Baichuan Academy."
Wu Liao reminded the three of them, and Fang Duobing looked up at the sky: "It's getting late, let's hurry back."
In the dim light of the dark passage, I didn't realize how much time had passed; it had actually been so long.
Wu You also looked at the sky. Well, it was impossible to tell what time it was, but it seemed that the sky was much brighter than before.
Indeed, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. Even without clocks, they could accurately determine the time range. Very few modern people possess this skill.
"Then we'll trouble the abbot to have someone take care of Arou. We need to head back right away."

Lotus Tower Small Theater
Wu You: I never expected that the first time I saw the Young Master, she was on the ground. Sure enough, if you stay there long enough, your magnetic field will become connected. Hmm, it seems that even if you don't stay there long enough, it will still happen.
Junior Master: What do you mean?
Wu You: Back in the day, I also picked up your master from the ground. Now there's you, and there used to be his apprentice. We're really one family.
Junior Tutor: Quickly call Li Xiangyi over! Back then, he didn't hold on tight to me and drifted away by himself, leaving me to soak at the bottom of the sea for many years. I finally got out, but I was passed around by many people. Do you know how I survived all those years?
Wu You: I'm sorry, Li Xiangyi is already dead, and Abbot Wule said that you have been transferred multiple times.
Junior Tutor: Hmph, do you think my nose is fake? You smell so strongly of Li Xiangyi.
Wu You: A sword has a nose?
