Chapter 1197: Taking Risk!
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
Bing XInyue was not only physically exhausted but also running out of spiritual energy.
She might get a lot of energy back when she broke through in the fight, but she had consumed the energy pretty fast during the process. It was lucky that she could still hang on at the moment. Besides, she was still moving lightning fast.
Apparently, she wouldn't give up. Even though she was running out of energy, she still wanted to use the last bit of her power!
[If I give up, not only I but also my disciple will die!]
[Nobody wants to die if there is a chance to live. If I have to make the difficult choice, I will give my disciple the opportunity to live. She is still young. She has a bright future ahead. She is hard-working. She knows how to fight for what she wants. I don't…]
[I fell in love with the man my disciple loves… It disgraced me. I am ashamed. I don't know how to face the world. I don't know how to look at myself. Even if I let myself go free and chase him, it will be a ridiculous relationship… I will become a joke. Not only me but also he…]
[I can't do that. But I can't deny the feelings in my heart.]
[What is happening now is perilous. It must be a choice the heavens gave to me. If I die, it may be a good ending. The only thing that still worries me is Chuchu's safety!]
[If I die on the way to his place for giving him the information about the two sects' plan, maybe he will remember me and feel guilty or grateful for me… I won't ask for more… I just want him to treat Chuchu better when he thinks about me… I want him to remember Chuchu's master dies for him… so he must treat Chuchu well.]
[Maybe he will treat Chuchu better because of the gratitude he has to me… Maybe it will bring happiness to Chuchu.]
[If that is what will happen after I die… then I would love to embrace death!]
[I won't have to face my embarrassed heart, my embarrassing feelings anymore…]
Bing Xinyue kept thinking. She held Wenren Chuchu higher a little on her back. In the darkness of the night, she looked emotional. "Chuchu, promise me you will be happy…"
Suddenly, she smelled kerosene in the air, blown over by the wind. After that, she saw fire lighting up in the dark somewhere far away.
Wenren Chuchu looked solemn. She seemed to completely lose hope.
[Finally… They thought of it…]
"Master, go back…" Wenren Chuchu spoke in a low voice, "We should move toward the place where the fire was first lit up. Just sneak over… That will give up…"
Before she finished talking, over a dozen spots had lit up the fire.
Fire attack!
The enemies finally did it.
The trees on the mountain were almost wrapped by the big fire.
Even though the entire place was under fire, the enemies didn't dare to lose alert. They stayed in the heat and kept looking around for the two ladies' trace…
Bing Xinyue stayed low, trying not to be exposed under the fire. She was sneaking over to the first fire spot, as Wenren Chuchu asked.
"The first place they set the fire should be the most dangerous place in the beginning. They must have most people there. However, when they started to set up fires in other places, they must have spread out. They should have gone deeper into the forest to set fires… If we can luckily get around them and reach the first fire point, we should survive this.
"If the fires get big enough to lit up the whole area, we will have no places to hide.
"Moving toward the first fire point is the only chance we have. Maybe we can find our way out of death…
"As long as we reach the first fire point, we should be at least a dozen miles away from them… Most importantly, they should be searching elsewhere rather than their first spot… If nothing goes wrong, we should be safe at least for one more day."
Wenren Chuchu kept telling Bing Xinyue her strategy. "Master, sometimes power is not as useful as schemes. When we are weak, we must use our schemes more… There is nothing we can't do when we are fighting against death… It is a perfect choice to play the enemies around. At the very least, think about what those people would do to us… Master, put down dignity sometimes, and you will be much more formidable…"
Wenren Chuchu suddenly lowered her voice even more, "Master, I shouldn't have talked to you like this… Forgive me…"
Bing Xinyue was quiet. She just held her disciple tight. She nearly shed tears.
She knew that Wenren Chuchu was saying her last words to her. Her disciple was trying to leave her modest advice before death.
She knew that it was useful… She truly did.
Several men were walking over slowly from the scorching fire. Their eyes were sharp like hawks.
In the sky, four men in four different directions were watching the forest at the same time…
…
Many wild animals were driven away by the big fire. The forest was filled with different sounds of different animals…
"Master, go that way. Try your best to hold your breath…"
Wenren Chuchu talked to Bing Xinyue in the lowest voice. The fire was making burning sounds. Her voice was too weak to be heard by others. "Go over that man. Just be careful… It will be fine…"
She seemed confident about it, but Bing Xinyue was a bit frightened.
What Wenren Chuchu told Bing Xinyue to do were all risky moves.
For Bing Xinyue, all that she did were putting both their lives in risks. However, Wenren Chuchu was always right.
"Don't be afraid. These people are all focusing on somewhere far away."
Wenren Chuchu continued, "Because they are so concentrated, they won't notice the tiny movements near themselves. We might lose our lives in taking risks, but it is the best option we have to take these risks."
