Chapter 194 Fell Into A Trap
Ye Shaoyang looked carefully at his shoulders under the light. The two streams of poison had grown from his elbows to his shoulders and formed an insect-like pattern with multiple legs on each side.
What was worse, the patterns were like raised veins and felt as though they would burst and escape.
A burning sensation spread along the red lines below his skin, but immediately an icy, cold feeling appeared and fought against it.
Ye Shaoyang understood that the blood of the arctic silkworm and Tan Xiaohui’s saliva was helping him resist the Gu. The two sensations faded after a while. He sighed and watched the weird, insect-like patterns disappear and the red lines become two faint red lines below his skin up to his shoulders near the Tian Fu acupoint.
Why did the red lines grow again so soon?
The growing of red lines shocked Ye Shaoyang. Till now, the red lines had extended thrice. The next acupoint should be Jian Jing, and they would need to pass another two acupoints before reaching his heart.
Ye Shaoyang breathed in deeply. Watching his lifeline was stressful, and he tried to comfort himself. No matter how fast the streams of poison moved he believed that he had sufficient time to capture Jin Shuai during the trip to Sichuan. If he failed--
No way! He could only succeed!
Then, he repeated the mantra and went to sleep.
It had been a few days since Ye Shaoyang had properly rested, so he planned to sleep in. However, he was awakened before 8 a.m. by his phone’s ringtone. It was Li Duo.
He’s been out of touch for a long time. Has something happened to him?
Once Ye Shaoyang picked up the call, he heard Li Duo crying, “Big Brother Shaoyang, I saw a ghost. Can you come and save me now?”
Ye Shaoyang was stunned for a while and asked, “What’s happening? Where are you now?”
“Can’t tell you from the phone. I am in our school stadium. Shaoyang, you have to come quickly!”
The call hung up before Ye Shaoyang could ask for more details. He tried to call back, but the phone was dead.
“Did something happen?” Xiao Ma came out from the washroom and asked with a toothbrush in his mouth.
“Li Duo needs help now! He saw a ghost!” Ye Shaoyang replied while he rushed to get dressed.
“What?!” Xiao Ma stared, “Why does it seem like ghosts run amuck everywhere, and anyone can meet one easily?”
Ye Shaoyang had the same thought too. It was strange. He and Xiao Ma quickly exited the apartment and took a taxi to the campus. The driver dropped them in front of the main gate. A steamed stuffed bun store did business on the side of the road.
Ye Shaoyang realized they had not had breakfast, so he bought a few buns and soy drinks. While eating the buns, they ran toward the sports complex. It was not far away. Ye Shaoyang had just finished eating his third bun when they reached the entrance.
The door was half closed. Xiao Ma pushed it open and found nobody inside.
He wondered, “It’s so rare for a hall to be empty at this hour.” He turned to Ye Shaoyang and asked, “What day is today?”
“Wednesday.”
“Wednesday. If I’m not mistaken, the Wushu club usually has common practice today.” Xiao Ma looked nervous, “Don’t tell me everyone was caught by the spirit?”
Ye Shaoyang rolled up his eyes, “I don’t sense even a small trace of Yin Qi here.”
As Ye Shaoyang finished his words, he heard footsteps coming from one of the rooms in the sports complex. Both of them looked up and saw a woman wearing a white shirt with her arm around a man walking toward them.
The woman smiled coldly at Ye Shaoyang, “Ye Shaoyang, it was not easy to find you.”
Ye Shaoyang gazed at the woman who wore a white kungfu suit and a black belt around her waist and walked on the wooden floor with bare feet. She was pretty, elegant and gave him the impression that she was a capable person.
While thinking of words to compliment the woman, Ye Shaoyang was stunned when he realized that the man beside her was Li Duo.
“I thought you saw a ghost?” Ye Shaoyang stood aghast. He glanced at the pretty woman beside Li Duo to confirm she was not a spirit.
Li Duo was filled with mixed feelings, “Big Brother Shaoyang, I am sorry. Zhang Xiaolei threatened my girlfriend so that I would lie to you. She said that you would appear only if I told you I saw a ghost. She left me with no choice.”
Zhang Xiaolei? Ye Shaoyang’s heart trembled.
It’s her, Zhang Xiaolei! The crazy kungfu woman who cornered him once. No wonder she looked so familiar.
He didn’t know where she got his number, but she had called him a few times to request a battle. However, he did not bother answering her and blocked her number. Then, she changed her number and messaged him via SMS but he never replied to any of her messages. He had not expected her to use such dirty tactics to draw him out.
Zhang Xiaolei smiled triumphantly. She pushed Li Duo aside, “It’s none of your business. You can leave now.”
Li Duo staggered toward the exit. Upon exiting the main door, he looked back at Ye Shaoyang. Feeling guilty, he said, “Don’t worry Big Brother Shaoyang, she promised she would not hurt you. I will buy you a meal as my apology. Goodbye.”
“Out you go!” Ye Shaoyang showed his middle finger to Li Duo.
Zhang Xiaolei raised her eyebrow at Ye Shaoyang, “Master Ye, it was difficult to find you, but I don’t think you can escape today.”
“Master Ye?” Ye Shaoyang stared at her with his eyes wide open.
“I apologize for my mistake of thinking that you knew the Phoenix Eye Fist. I learned from Li Duo that you are the Master of the Maoshan Sect. Well, the Maoshan Sect is not a popular sect, but you must be good to be their master at this young age.”
What is she talking about? Does she think that she is acting in a kungfu movie?
Ye Shaoyang planned to reply, but after giving it a second thought, he did not. He did not want to fall into an endless argument with her, so he kept quiet and let her finish speaking.
Then, he lowered his voice and said, “I agree with you. The Maoshan Sect is a small sect and bad at kungfu. I give in as I’m no match for you. Please let me leave.”
Ye Shaoyang turned away from her after he spoke and realized that the main door had been closed. A massive gang of students suited in kungfu attire slowly walked out of the restroom and circled them. They were shocked once they saw Ye Shaoyang.
He had rushed out, so he had not changed into a proper shirt and shoes. Instead, he was wearing old-fashioned pajamas and a pair of sandals. He carried steamed buns and soy drinks and there was a piece of chive stuck at the corner of his mouth. They wondered if he was the secret kungfu master that their president, Zhang Xiaolei mentioned. Did they corner the right person or had she been fooled?
