115: Chapter 115 The person has been dead for several days, how can they still be saved?

The entrance to the martial arts hall was now much quieter.

Wang Yuyan had already left, but she promised to return as soon as possible.

Xu Weixiong was the same, promising to bring Xu Longxiang with her next time she returned.

She knew clearly in her heart that although her teacher seemed indifferent to worldly affairs, his mere presence was enough to influence many things.

Especially after witnessing those four sword scars with her own eyes, her confidence had grown even more.

Besides, her "little brother" hadn't truly enlightened yet, so if she could really bring him over, it might just be a turning point.

Sikong Qianluo had originally been clamoring to go hunt down the remnants of the Demonic Cult, but after Sikong Changfeng heard this, he rushed over in person and dragged her back.

It was estimated that she wouldn't be able to come for a few days.

The martial arts hall, which had been quite lively, suddenly became quiet again.

"Master, the meal is ready!"

Yue Qing's little face was covered in soot, and her hands and clothes were also covered in coal dust.

Su Rui took one look and couldn't help but shake his head. "You didn't burn down my kitchen, did you?"

Hearing this, Yue Qing blinked, her eyes revealing a hint of embarrassment.

In the past, when AZhu and ABi were around, she could help out a little. Now that the two of them had left with Wang Yuyan, the martial arts hall was short of servants.

She thought she had learned a few skills, but ended up almost blowing up the kitchen.

"Is this the meal you made?" Su Rui pointed at the black, charred things on the plate on the table, his eyebrows twitching.

Li Hanyi, Mu Liangyue, and the Su Sisters all frowned. Only Shi Feixuan calmly picked up a piece and put it into her mouth to chew.

Her mouth was still stained with ash, and she said softly, "Except for a bit too much salt and the heat being a little too high, it's still edible."

If her face wasn't practically screaming "disgusting," Yue Qing might have believed it. This was clearly an attempt to comfort her and give her a way out. But saying it out loud was worse than not saying it at all.

Yue Qing, half-doubting, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth herself, and her face instantly twisted. Was this food? It was clearly charcoal!

Looking at Shi Feixuan's forced smile, Yue Qing couldn't help but advise, "You should probably spit it out..." Yue Qing looked dejected.

"Go wash your face." Su Rui sighed and turned to walk toward the kitchen.

Li Hanyi and the others' eyes lit up—the teacher hadn't cooked in a long time, and today they would finally have a treat. They swarmed forward, all scrambling to help in the kitchen.

Yue Qing, who had been squeezed to the side, didn't even have a chance to intervene.

When she finally ate the meal Su Rui had made, Yue Qing was completely stunned.

He could wield a sword to dominate the world and become an invincible Sword Immortal; he could also roll up his sleeves to cook such delicious food. Was this his true self?

"Hey, did I come at just the right time?" Yin Luoxia vaulted over the wall and, seeing everyone eating, her eyes immediately lit up.

With a light tap of her toes, she executed the Ascending Immortal Steps of Unrestrained Will, and in a blink, sat down beside Su Rui, unceremoniously picking up a bowl and chopsticks.

"How is the situation?" Su Rui asked while picking up food.

"Teacher, you guessed right. Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng are really planning to make a move, and even other forces in the city have agreed. This time, the Demonic Cult really tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice; they've completely angered Snow Moon City!" Yin Luoxia answered vaguely while eating.

"Eat slowly. Did you starve to death in your past life?" Watching Yin Luoxia tilt her head to swallow the food, her face turning bright red, Su Rui couldn't help but sigh softly.

He handed her a cup of warm water, and she finally caught her breath.

"Teacher, your cooking is truly delicious! I haven't eaten anything this good in a long time!" Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and in her heart, she was actually thinking about the empty rooms in the martial arts hall.

"Teacher, I want to move back into the martial arts hall so I can listen to your guidance every day!" Hearing this, Li Hanyi's eyes immediately became alert.

"Suit yourself, go find a room and tidy it up." Su Rui did not object.

"Is the room next to the teacher's occupied?" Yin Luoxia asked, while secretly observing Li Hanyi's expression.

"That's where I live! Junior Sister should know that!" Li Hanyi put down her bowl and chopsticks, her tone somewhat cold.

"I was asking about the other side!"

"Is Junior Sister Yin trying to compete with me for a room?" Mu Liangyue covered her mouth and spoke softly, a flash of craftiness in her eyes.

"Since they are both occupied, then I can only live with the teacher..." Yin Luoxia said deliberately, wanting to see their reaction.

"No!" The female Disciples shouted almost in unison, then looked at each other, and then all turned to look at Yue Qing, who had just spoken.

"I... I..." Yue Qing was stared at by everyone and stuttered, unable to speak. She herself didn't understand why she had subconsciously shouted along.

"That's fine, I just happen to need someone to serve tea and water at night." Su Rui suddenly blurted out, instantly stunning everyone.

"Teacher, I... I was just joking!" Yin Luoxia was blushing furiously, even the tips of her ears were bright red. The others were also astonished, inwardly regretting that they hadn't held their tongues earlier.

"Oh, then I was also joking." Su Rui showed a playful smile.

Yin Luoxia was immediately even more embarrassed; she bowed her head, stood up, rushed out of the courtyard, and leaped over the wall.

"Does anyone else want to try?" Su Rui looked around and asked with a smile.

Mu Liangyue opened her mouth, wanting to respond, but after glancing at the others, she swallowed her words back. Her heart was beating fast, and her legs unconsciously tightened. If she were the only one present, she would have really dared to respond.

"If no one wants to, then hurry up and tidy your things; today's training hasn't started yet." Su Rui put away his smile, his tone becoming serious.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The few of them stood up in response and vanished in the blink of an eye. Su Rui chuckled and shook his head.

At this moment, there was a knock at the door. He swept his Divine Sense and detected three people outside, one in the Zizai Realm and two in the Carefree Heaven Realm. It didn't look like they were here to become Disciples. He stood up to open the door.

When the three saw that it was Su Rui who opened the door, they were all surprised. "Greetings, Master!"

"Who are you?" Su Rui asked. The three stood up upon hearing this.

"We are from the Lei Clan, and we have an urgent matter to see Li Hanyi!"

The Lei Clan? Su Rui frowned slightly. "Master, this matter concerns Li Hanyi's father, Lei Mengsha, and it is extremely urgent!"

Lei Mengsha? Su Rui was taken aback. Turning his head, he saw Li Hanyi had already rushed over. "What happened to my father?" Her gaze was cold, but her voice was trembling slightly.

Seeing this, the three sighed. "He was ambushed on the Southern Solitude battlefield and died from an arrow wound five days ago. The news should have already reached Heavenly Revelation City."

Li Hanyi's face turned deathly pale in an instant. Su Rui reached out to support her shoulders. "My father... is dead?" She muttered to herself, her whole body almost collapsing into Su Rui's arms.

The three from the Lei Clan saw her in this state and couldn't help but sigh, not knowing how to comfort her.

A moment later, Li Hanyi suddenly raised her eyes and stared fixedly at Su Rui, her eyes filled with a glimmer of hope. "Teacher, you can save my father, right? Please, save my father!"

She struggled to kneel, but Su Rui pulled her up and held her in his arms again. The three from the Lei Clan looked at each other, feeling helpless. The person had been dead for days, how could he still be saved? She must be unable to accept reality for the moment.

Su Rui sighed softly and raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Alright, you won't look pretty if you keep crying." "Teacher!" She looked up, gazing at him imploringly, her eyes full of expectation.

"I didn't say I wouldn't go take a look." Su Rui smiled faintly.

When these words were spoken, the three from the Lei Clan were all stunned. They knew Su Rui was an unfathomable existence. But Lei Mengsha's fatal wound was from an arrow, not a fake death caused by poison. How could he still be saved? Perhaps... he was just comforting Li Hanyi?

"Do you know the specific location of the Southern Solitude battlefield?" Su Rui suddenly turned and asked. The three were startled and were just about to answer when they suddenly heard a voice: "Sir, I know, and I even know the exact place where they were fighting!"

Su Rui turned back and saw Mu Liangyue and several other women standing not far away. Mu Liangyue said with a solemn expression.

"Good, you will come with me, and the rest of you stay at the martial arts hall for now!" Su Rui nodded slightly, raised his hand with a beckoning gesture, and Mu Liangyue leaped over, was pulled into his arms, and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Li Hanyi, one on the left and one on the right. Shi Feixuan and the Su Sisters also nodded one after another.

The three from the Lei Clan didn't understand; what exactly did this Master intend to do? Was he really going to save someone? But the news from Southern Solitude would take at least a few days to arrive, and rushing over now would take about ten days for a round trip. What's more, the person was already gone. It couldn't possibly just be to comfort Li Hanyi, right?

Thinking of this, the three actually felt that this might be Su Rui's intention. While they were puzzled, they saw Su Rui take Li Hanyi and Mu Liangyue and soar into the sky, heading straight into the clouds.

Immediately, a giant phantom of a Roc appeared in the sky, soaring upward and flying south with its wings flapping. The three from the Lei Clan had just arrived from the Lei Clan, and at this moment, they were all staring with wide eyes.

"What kind of Divine Ability is this? Legend has it that this Master is an Immortal, could it be true?" The three were shocked beyond measure. Could he really have a way to revive Lei Mengsha?

Meanwhile, many experts in the city were also astonished. Many had seen Su Rui perform the Heavenly Roc Precious Technique, so they naturally recognized the origin of this phantom. But the Roc spread its wings, and in the blink of an eye, it had already vanished from sight.

"Where did he go?" Baili Dongjun looked bewildered. During this time, Su Rui hadn't left Snow Moon City at all. But that display just now was clearly not just wandering around the city, and now he was nowhere to be seen.

"Send someone to the martial arts hall to inquire, and we'll know." Sikong Changfeng said.

"The teacher has left?" Yin Luoxia's figure also appeared beside the two, looking at the direction the Roc had flown off in, her expression somewhat flustered. With a few flashes of movement, she sped toward the martial arts hall.

The Disciple sent to inquire about the situation hadn't returned yet. Instead, the three from the Lei Clan arrived.

"What?" Baili Dongjun stood up abruptly, his face darkening, a flash of anger in his eyes. There were very few things that could make Baili Dongjun show such an expression. He and Lei Mengsha were close friends. To call them friends of life and death, brothers by blood, would not be an exaggeration.

"So, he took Li Hanyi to Southern Solitude? Wanting to revive Lei Mengsha?" Sikong Changfeng frowned and said.

"That is exactly the case. Looking at that display, that should be the intention." The Lei Clan Elder nodded in response. "How is this possible?" Sikong Changfeng knew very well.
