Chapter 188 A Chance Encounter
Chapter 188 A Chance Encounter
Hua Ling continued to pretend to be unconscious, and soon she heard footsteps.
"You two, carry her to the room." A familiar voice rang out.
"You're sick!"
"So all you did was sleep with women?"
Hua Ling was utterly speechless at this moment. She was blind, but that didn't mean she had no fighting skills.
Hearing the sound, she kicked the two men away as they approached.
Now, her hearing is extremely sensitive.
"You...you're faking it..." the richly dressed middle-aged man stammered, turning to run away.
Before he could even run away, Hua Ling kicked him out and trampled him under her feet. "Tell me your plan, or I'll send you straight to heaven."
Hua Ling's fierce demeanor was completely different from before, and the middle-aged man in fine clothes explained their plan in fits and starts.
"Control her to use the still water, and then take over that village in the creek?"
"Was this all a fluke?"
But the stream seems to be quite poor. What are they after? Besides, there aren't any powerful ninjas there, so why would they need Shisui?
How did they know that Shisui had this ability and that his identity had been discovered?
Upon learning of the plan, Hua Ling asked the so-called Miss Han who was the mastermind behind it all, and then paused for a moment, "Could it be that she has taken a liking to Zhi Shui?"
She felt a surge of anger well up inside her, and the person beneath her feet immediately suffered the consequences, getting kicked hard and his fate unknown.
"I forgot, I should have let him take it out for me first."
She can locate sounds by sound, but now that there's no sound at all, she's going to be like a headless fly again.
"Let's look for the mechanism!"
Hua Ling fumbled around, searching for the mechanism, but instead of finding it, she wandered further and further away, not knowing where she was going.
"You are Shisui of the Instantaneous Movement, aren't you!" Miss Han looked at the person in front of her and a blush rose on her face. She had the good fortune to meet him once before when she was on a mission in Wuyin. The captain abandoned the mission directly. She had a deep impression of those eyes, which was why she had just tested him.
But when did Uchiha Shisui have a younger sister? Perhaps a younger sister he's in love with, since she's seen that kind of look in his eyes far too often.
During this period, Kirigakure had a large number of defecting ninja.
"Hand over my sister, or I'll wash this place in blood!" Zhi Shui's face was no longer gentle; it was full of ferocity.
"You like her that much? Am I not pretty?" Miss Han removed her veil and walked gracefully towards Zhishui, smiling as she spoke.
"I'll let her go if you marry me!" Miss Han whispered in his ear.
The next second, her neck was grabbed. "Don't even think about it!"
"How heartless! Such a beautiful woman right in front of you and you don't even know how to cherish her. You'll never see her again." Miss Han leaned against the door with a regretful look on her face. "Maybe she's already been taken advantage of."
"What did you say!" Shisui instantly appeared beside Miss Han, holding a knife to her neck. This time, he would not give her another chance to use the 'Substitute Technique'.
Suppressing her fear, Miss Han said, "If you have the guts, kill me. Then your sister will never come back, and you'll never find her."
This man is too strong, she must have him. With this thought, Miss Han's fear slowly dissipated. She had plenty of ways to deal with men.
"Let me see Hua Ling first, and I'll marry you!" Zhi Shui said coldly, sheathing his sword, his former gentle expression nowhere to be seen.
"That's not impossible, but you have to do something for me first," Miss Han stated her condition.
"Don't push your luck!" Zhi Shui gritted his teeth and blurted out.
“Then there’s nothing to talk about.” Miss Han pushed the knife away from her neck and turned to leave.
“I promise you!” Shisui said.
"I knew you would agree. Come with me." Miss Han seemed to have expected this. She led Zhishui to a place filled with her subordinates over the years, as well as those who had defected from Wuyin Village together.
Shisui had been silent ever since he came in. "He was extremely surprised when he learned that we were going to the village in the stream."
What exactly is there that warrants such a large investment from this group of people?
It had only been a short time since the Hidden Cloud Village occupied the area, and the Konoha ninjas who had been dealing with matters had probably only just returned. These people all looked rather impatient.
Taking over a village is not something that can be done in a short time, especially since they must have made preparations, and it certainly won't be as easy as it was last time.
These people prepared for three whole days before taking action, and their trump card was Uchiha Shisui.
Upon learning that Hua Ling had run away, Miss Han showed no emotion on her face. Otherwise, Uchiha Shisui would definitely not have helped her. Once the plan succeeds, he will have no choice but to comply.
Creek Village.
"Sister Hua Ling, this bouquet is for you!" A little boy awkwardly stuffed something into her hand.
"Thank you, I like it very much," Hua Ling replied with a smile.
"Sister Hualing, the flowers in my hand are much prettier than his. Here, take them." Another little boy stuffed the flowers he had picked into Hualing's hand.
Just then, a little girl next to her spoke up in a soft, sweet voice, "Sister Flower Spirit, I've made you a flower wreath."
"Really? Can you help me put it on?" Hua Ling's face was full of joy as she remembered the flower wreath that Zhi Shui had made for her.
She really didn't expect that she would be brought back by the villagers of Xidi Village by chance.
Hua Ling is currently being cared for by several children. "I wonder if Zhi Shui can think of this, or if he will be completely fooled by those people. He is so naive."
"I shouldn't overestimate myself in the future. I'll take this as a lesson."
"boom..."
Suddenly a noise broke out in the village, followed by flames.
"Those people really are here. You guys quickly take Sister Hualing and hide. I'll go check and come back in a bit." The oldest boy next to Hualing said this, then turned and left.
Just as Hua Ling was about to ask, she was pulled away, and they decided to ask when they reached the hiding place.
Upon arriving at the hiding place, she began to probe for information.
I roughly understand why this group of people would be interested in this poor village; who would have thought that a stream here would produce diamonds?
The occupation of Kumogakure actually freed them for a period of time.
Hua Ling remembered what Shisui had said: the Konoha ninjas who came to carry out the mission should still be in the village at this time. From what she had gotten out of them, it was obvious that they hadn't come.
Were they delayed on the way? Or was someone trying to prevent them from coming?
Hua Ling guessed that the latter was more likely.
She didn't want to sit idly by and wait for her death, but as a blind woman, she figured it was best to stay put.
The peace didn't last long. The little boy who had left earlier returned, unaware that he was being followed by many people.
"Brother, you were right. Following this kid, we found their hiding place. With these kids, we don't have to worry about them not submitting."
The sudden change caused many of the children hiding there to begin trembling with fear.
The little boy who brought the enemy there showed regret, remorse, and hatred on his face.
It was this group of people who worked his father to death, shoving those worthless stones.
At that moment, he could no longer suppress the hatred in his heart and rushed forward; he wanted revenge.
"go to hell!"
Just as he was about to rush forward, Hua Ling grabbed him and pulled him behind her. "Xiao Ye, you need to have a clear understanding of your own strength. You're just throwing an egg against a rock. The most important thing now is to get them to a safe place."
"Sister Hua Ling, what are you going to do?" Xiao Ye asked, regaining her senses.
"I'll stay here to stall for time. Don't worry, I'm very capable, nothing will happen," Hua Ling patted her chest and assured them confidently.
These words immediately drew sneers from the enemy not far away.
What kind of trouble can a blind man cause with a group of children?
The man leading this group was the one whose eye Shisui had destroyed.
Hua Ling couldn't see and was unaware of this; she could only sense an uncomfortable gaze fixed on her.
What a coincidence! He had never forgotten the grudge of having his eyes ruined, and he would definitely treat this blind man well.
"All of you, charge! Capture them alive!"
As soon as the voice came out, Hua Ling recognized it instantly.
"Ono, hurry up and go." She said, and walked towards the source of the voice.
Ono was too late to stop her, and seeing Hua Ling moving with ease among the enemy crowd, he realized that what she said was true.
"Hold on, Sister Hua Ling, I'll bring people over to help you in a bit." After saying this, Xiao Ye led a group of children away through another passage.
Just then, a blade flashed towards her face. Hua Ling's ears twitched slightly, and she dodged to the side.
How could a blind man be so skilled?
The man's face grew increasingly grim as he failed to capture them after so long, and the children had even been moved away.
