Chapter 41 Sudden attack
The scene fell into silence. Sister Niu looked at Wu Chengyu with complicated eyes, while Wu Chengyu used his ten-year-old appearance to try to make an innocent and pitiful expression.

Both Sister Niu and Brother Lu were certain that the only people in the ruined temple tonight who were not in the situation were Wu Chengyu and A Ku, and they were completely innocent people who had intruded.

Sister Niu and the others didn't care about Wu Chengyu's keen hearing. It was very easy to verify, and there was no point in lying.

As for swearing and swearing, it is purely empty talk for modern people, but ancient people took it more seriously. However, these people were old hands and had seen many treacherous and untrustworthy people. Moreover, the matter of the treasure was very important and could not tolerate any risk, so they did not know how to deal with it for a while.

Wu Chengyu noticed their hesitation, and felt relieved. Hesitation meant that they at least had good intentions, and there was room for everything to turn around.

At this moment, the lewd monk Qian Yang finally breathed his last, and Cao Mao suddenly coughed loudly, coughing up several mouthfuls of black blood. He died with his eyes wide open, unwilling to die. He was an absolute victim tonight, falling completely into a trap and dying in vain.

Even without the Heavenly Stone, if he had chased He Zhiyu and Qian Yang to the ruined temple, he would have been besieged and killed by Niu Lu and others, and his years of planning would have been ruined tonight.

Seeing her father's tragic death, the ignorant Lian'er took a few steps forward as if she couldn't believe what she saw. Then she seemed afraid to get close to Cao Mao, who was covered in blood. At this time, the only person she could rely on and trust was her stepmother who had always loved her the most.

Lian'er turned her head to look at He Zhiyu, burst into tears, and threw herself into He Zhiyu's arms.

Everyone around felt a little pity and couldn't bear it. After all, the child was innocent. After tonight, the most pitiful person would be Lian'er.

But just when Lian'er was about to hug He Zhiyu, Wu Chengyu, who had been trying to find a way to escape, be harmless and try hard to reduce his presence, suddenly moved.

He swung his right hand suddenly, and a gold coin dart flew out of his hand and shot straight towards Lian'er who was still crying loudly.

At this time, everyone was far away, and Lian'er was only accompanied by Sister Niu and He Zhiyu. He Zhiyu did not know martial arts and had no time to react. Sister Niu roared, "What are you doing, kid?" and swung the copper mace in her right hand, smashing it at the gold coin dart.

Also able to stop the attack was Yu Xiaowu, who was skilled in hidden weapons. He threw a flying knife to intercept the attack in time.

However, after Wu Chengyu's gold coin dart flew out of his hand, it came to Lian'er in the blink of an eye and suddenly split into three. Sister Niu's bronze mace and Yu Xiaowu's flying knife were caught off guard and could only block two of them, while the one in the middle suddenly accelerated in mid-air and no one could intercept it.

This is an application of the triple wave of Wu Chengyu's original Bi Bo Heart Method. He uses arm strength and self-created techniques to throw out the darts, and uses the first level of strength to attract the three gold coin darts together. When Sister Niu and Yu Xiaowu intercepted them, the second level of strength happened to burst out, and the gold coin darts were divided into three directions and attacked simultaneously.

The third level of force remains on the gold coin dart in the middle, acting as a secondary acceleration in the middle, making it absolutely impossible for the target to defend against it.

At this time, the third gold coin dart had flown to within two inches of Lian'er's forehead. Everyone could only watch this scene. A tragedy was about to unfold. No one in the entire dilapidated temple could save her except herself.

Lian'er's whole body suddenly shrank. Her height, which was originally almost the same as A'ku's, suddenly became ten centimeters shorter, just enough to dodge the gold coin dart.

She did not stop her movements. She formed her hands into tiger claws and grabbed He Zhiyu, who was still worried about her and was nearby.

Fortunately, Sister Niu, who was only one step away from them, finally reacted at this moment. She changed the direction of her bronze mace and smashed it hard on Lian'er's back.

If Lian'er tried to control He Zhiyu again, her back would be broken by the bronze mace. She had no choice but to give up and rolled out of the control range of the bronze mace.

The others gathered around, waking as if from a dream. Big Brother Lu leaped to protect He Zhiyu behind him. Big Sister Niu roared in anger, pursuing with her mace. Yu Xiaowu swung his hands, launching a dozen flying knives at Lian'er. However, Lian'er's Qinggong skills were extremely swift. She dodged Yu Xiaowu's flying knives with a series of quick steps, and then somersaulted away from Big Sister Niu.

When she stood still again, there was a short knife in her right hand. Her face no longer had the crying look as before. It looked sinister and a little surprised. She was facing Sister Niu, but her eyes were staring straight at Wu Chengyu in the corner.

"How did you figure that out?" Lian'er's voice changed. It was no longer the tone of a little girl, but rather that of an adult woman.

"I just said that my hearing is very good. Ever since you followed Cao Mao into the ruined temple, I've been a little confused.

Your heartbeat is so strong, it doesn't sound like a child's at all. It's even as strong as those of the adults present. Remember, they are all martial artists. You look about the same age as my sister. Even if you had a good life and are in better health than my sister, you shouldn't be this much different."

"You make such a judgment based on your heartbeat alone?"

"Of course not, I was just confused at the time and didn't think too much about it.

But besides hearing, my eyesight is also very good. Just now, Qian Yang wanted to attack Wei to save Zhao, and shot the flying knife at Sister He and you. Brother Yu Wu saved Sister He in time, and I couldn't bear it, so I stopped it for you.

However, the moment the flying knife shot towards you, your posture changed slightly, your whole body tensed up, your knees slightly bent to accumulate strength, the center of gravity of your toes and heels also shifted, and even your hands that were holding He Zhiyu were secretly exerting force. This kind of vigilance is not what a child should have.

The key is that your acting is very good. Even though your body changes, your face still looks so pitiful and crying. I have to say, you caught my attention from that moment on.

Then a big drama unfolded one after another, which was too much to keep up with, but I always kept part of my attention on you. From beginning to end, you breathed according to a unique pattern, inhaling slowly and continuously, while exhaling was divided into four parts. I have also been practicing internal energy since I was a child, and you clearly have a good internal energy technique.

It wasn't until Cao Mao was knocked away by the Sky Stone that your heartbeat and breathing became irregular. The rest of the time, no matter how pitiful you looked, how sadly you cried, or even when your father coughed up blood and died, your heartbeat and breathing remained the same. If I can't tell from all this that there's something wrong with you, then I'd rather not have these eyes."

Lian'er's face changed several times. She really didn't expect that she usually disguised herself so well. No one present noticed it, but Wu Chengyu saw through the flaw.

"Who are you? You pretended to be Lian'er and deceived us. Where did you hide Lian'er? She is still a child." He Zhiyu asked.

Lian'er looked at He Zhiyu with disdain in her eyes: "What Lian'er? I have been by your side for nearly two years, and we are together every day, but you didn't notice anything wrong with me. You are such a fool. And Cao Mao, that damned bastard, was actually harmed by a trap set by you, a fool. He is even more stupid than you and is hopeless.

You actually know my name, Wei Shujuan. Don't you often bring me along to burn incense at my memorial tablet?"

He Zhiyu's face turned pale when he heard this. He took two steps back and shook his head in disbelief.

"Impossible, Wei Shujuan is clearly the name of Lian'er's mother."
