Chapter 70

Helpless,

the girl could only retreat while continuing to unleash spear shadows to weaken the force carried by the opponent's halberd.

She finally understood now.

Why this enemy dared to hand his weapon to her.

It turned out the gap in strength between the two was so vast, it could be called a world of difference.

Just a single proactive strike from his halberd left her feeling helpless.

The longer the fight went on, the heavier the girl's heart became, because she simply could not see any hope of victory.

No matter how she unleashed her spear shadows, they were shattered by the opponent in an instant.

Defeat was only a matter of time.

But it was also at this moment.

A scene appeared in the girl's mind; it was a conversation her brother had left behind before he departed.

"Xiao Yu, Brother is going to follow Master to learn the arts. Our sect only passes these down to men, not women. Brother is very sorry he cannot take you along."

"But Xiao Yu, you also have a talent for the spear. This is a spear manual Brother secretly took from Master for you; practice it well!"

"In the future, when Brother is not around, you must use the long spear in your hand to protect Zhao Family Village!"

Thinking of this.

A bitter expression appeared on the girl's face: "Brother Yun, Xiao Yu might not be able to complete the task you entrusted to me and protect Zhao Family Village. This enemy before me is simply too strong..."

"If only Xiao Yu could be a little stronger, that would be good."

Yet, at this very moment...

The Fire Phoenix Bright Gold Spear suddenly erupted with a dazzling light.

Afterwards, that light condensed into a flaming phoenix, charging straight into the girl's body.

She was seen suddenly standing still in place, a scorching fire rising from her body, as if she had entered some state of epiphany.

"This is... a state of comprehending a technique?"

At this moment, Su Li subconsciously stopped his attack, his brows slightly furrowed.

The rare characteristic of the Fire Phoenix Bright Gold Spear was that it came with a rare technique called [Fire Phoenix Spear Art].

The user has a chance to comprehend this technique.

Clearly, the state the girl was in now had triggered this chance, and she was currently comprehending the [Fire Phoenix Spear Art].

Once the comprehension was successful, her strength would definitely undergo a qualitative leap.

If she were an enemy, the best thing he could do now would be to interrupt her comprehension.

But Su Li analyzed from that first sentence the girl spoke that she might not be an enemy.

She just had a bit of a stubborn mind, attacking them as soon as she arrived.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Li still did not go up to interrupt her comprehension.

Also at this moment.

The elder of Zhao Family Village brought the rest of the villagers outside, and the first thing they saw was that girl.

"Xiao Yu!!!"

The elder and the people of Zhao Family Village seemed to know the girl and immediately prepared to surround her.

But at this time, Su Li blocked their path, stretched out a hand, and stopped them: "She is currently in comprehension. Do not go over, lest you cause a backlash and accidents occur."

As their savior, the elder and the people of Zhao Family Village still listened to Su Li's words; they stopped immediately, gazing at Zhao Yu from afar, their faces showing genuine concern.

This piqued Su Li's interest; it seemed the people of Zhao Family Village had a connection with the girl, and a deep one at that.

He immediately asked the elder: "Old man, this girl... do you know her?"

"Of course we know her."

Seeing the girl, the elder said happily: "Xiao Yu, just like the Yun lad, is one of the most obedient children in our village."

"Both of them lost their parents when they were young and grew up eating the 'hundred-family rice' of our Zhao Family Village."

"Xiao Yu and the Yun lad were also very sensible and often helped us with work."

"Both of them had great talent for spear techniques, but it's a pity that the Yun lad's Master did not accept female disciples. After he took the Yun lad away, he left Xiao Yu alone in Zhao Family Village."

"But Xiao Yu is also quite capable. Relying on a spear manual left behind by the Yun lad, she practiced spear techniques on her own, and after practicing and practicing, she actually became invincible within a ten-mile radius."

"She also often goes into the mountains to hunt wild beasts to repay the village. Sometimes even encountering a black bear is no match for her."

"When our Zhao Family Village was attacked by bandits, Xiao Yu happened to have gone into the mountains; now that she appears here, she must have come to save us!"

It was clear that the old man liked this girl named Xiao Yu very much; once he started talking about her, he couldn't stop.

And from his description.

Su Li finally understood that the girl was not an enemy.

She must have come to save Zhao Family Village and happened to see them, thinking they were people from the stronghold, so she started fighting.

However...

In the current situation, most of the bandits in the stronghold were dead, and when this girl named Xiao Yu came in, not only did she not doubt their identity, she attacked directly.

This train of thought was a bit stubborn!

But then again.

This Xiao Yu and Zhao Yun both lost their parents when they were young and grew up eating the 'hundred-family rice' of Zhao Family Village.

It sounded a bit like childhood sweethearts.

Su Li seemed to smell a hint of gossip and prepared to dig into this Three Kingdoms melon, so he further asked the old man about their relationship.

"Childhood sweethearts?"

Upon hearing Su Li say this, the old man immediately waved his hand: "Benefactor, please don't say that, it's offensive to public morals; they are siblings!"

"Siblings?"

Su Li was stunned; he hadn't expected this relationship.

"Yes, benefactor, one is named Zhao Yun and the other is called Zhao Yu, they are indeed siblings."

The old man nodded.

At this moment, Su Li realized that he had eaten the wrong melon; the girl and Zhao Yun were indeed siblings.

But once he realized they were just siblings, he felt in his heart that siblings were good.

If they were siblings...

Couldn't he...

Su Li's gaze immediately fell on Zhao Yu, who was still comprehending in the field, looking at this girl with beautiful features and exquisite facial features, who, although not fully matured, was already a beauty in the making.

A bold idea couldn't help but arise in his heart.

If...

He could get Zhao Yu...

Uh, no, the term 'get' wasn't right, it was easy to make people think wrongly.

It should be 'keep by his side'.

Yes, keep by his side.

As long as he kept Zhao Yu by his side, would he still be afraid of not having a chance to contact Zhao Yun?

After all, after Zhao Yun finished his training and returned, the first thing he would do would be to go home to visit his sister, right?

By that time, wouldn't Zhao Yun have to obediently enter his trap?
