So, apart from this, who can accurately recognize himself just by voice?
Chapter 5: It Was an Old Friend
No matter what, Yun Shuo has to be on guard first.
After all, a "familiar person" inexplicably appeared in this place where he had never been before, which made people feel creepy no matter how they thought about it.
He turned around with full vigilance, thinking of a long way to save his life, but after seeing the man's face, his tense nerves suddenly relaxed - it turned out to be an old friend.
Yun Shuo felt as if his heart skipped a beat, and an inexplicable feeling of guilt came over him.
As if being burned by the other person's fiery and determined gaze, he subconsciously lowered his eyelids to avoid looking into those eyes that seemed to be filled with tears. He hesitated for a long time before shaking his lips and uttering the long-lost name, "Tianta..."
These three words were like a gentle breeze blowing across the lake, causing ripples in the hearts of both of them.
"You... why are you here?" Dianta stared at him intently. She hurriedly pushed away the men around her, tightly grasped Yun Shuo's shoulders with both hands, and forced him to face her. Yun Shuo looked away guiltily, as if he wanted to escape from something.
Tianta's heart was in a mess. With shock and confusion that could not be concealed, she asked, "Why are you here?"
How to do?
Tianta bit her lip tightly, unable to think of anything else to do except question Yun Shuo. She was trembling all over, but still trying to suppress the panic and fear in her heart.
Her gaze wandered among the subordinates around her, her eyes full of fear and anxiety, as if it was not she who held the power of life and death over these subordinates, but rather these subordinates who held the power of life and death over her.
What should I do? How can I protect him?
Tianta's hands unconsciously clenched, but she still remembered to grab the cloth on Yun Shuo's shoulders, for fear that her sharp nails would hurt him.
She is a thing that can't even protect herself, a thing that needs to beg for mercy from others to survive. What qualifications and what ability does she have to protect Yun Shuo?
But... why... why was it Yun Shuo?
Yun Shuo didn't understand why, but he still subconsciously reached out and gently patted her back.
Just like how he comforted the child who was not loved by his mother and came to him crying many years ago, he patted him gently and slowly.
Tianta hasn't had a good time these past few years...
As soon as Yun Shuo touched her, he could feel the protruding ridge on her back, which was hard and painful.
He could even tell one by one how strong each bone was that could so stubbornly support her fragile and shaky body.
It was as if I had never had a full meal or a good night's sleep in all these years.
That’s right...how can I live a good life?
A descendant of a noble who was expelled from his own country in the name of rebellion is like a rootless duckweed. How can he live well in a foreign country?
Suddenly, Tianta lowered his body abruptly, and buried his head deeply in Yun Shuo's neck as if paralyzed by himself, and then his hands tightly wrapped around his neck, trying to hide his eyes that could not hide his thoughts at all.
Yun Shuo obediently let Tianta hold him tightly. He patted her trembling back and coaxed her in a soothing tone, "I'm here."
"Yun Shuo..." Tianta's hand subconsciously grabbed the clothes on Yun Shuo's shoulders, and he called out in a low voice with sobs.
"I'm here."
She closed her eyes and let the tears fall, "Yun Shuo..."
"I'm here, always here."
Yun Shuo's clothes were gradually soaked by tears, and the coolness spread bit by bit, penetrating the fabric and touching his skin.
Tianta cried very urgently, wishing that in an instant, she could turn all the grievances, all the pain, and all the resentment that she had not been able to vent over the years into tears.
She didn't care, and like a young child, she piled all the past events in front of Yun Shuo and released all her emotions without reservation.
The deep sorrow and the desire to be understood and comforted all turned into tears, flowing on Yun Shuo's clothes.
She wanted him to comfort her, to feel sorry for her, and to give her some sweetness that would support her on the road ahead.
But she didn't have that much time to reminisce about the past. She had lost the right to be willful a long time ago.
Tianta sniffed, trying to calm the waves in her heart, then gently leaned on Yun Shuo's shoulder and asked in a low voice: "What should I do?"
She didn't really expect Yun Shuo to give her a clear answer.
She was just too used to getting a satisfactory answer from Yun Shuo for everything.
Even though they had been separated for so long, so long that Tianta had grown taller and her voice had become so different that even Yun Shuo could not recognize it, she would still subconsciously look for Yun Shuo for advice after they met again.
Tianta used the armrest of the chair to support herself from Yun Shuo, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of the exposed skin on his abdomen - Yun Shuo's injury had completely healed.
She didn't know what she was thinking about, but the tips of her ears instantly turned a faint blush, and she hurriedly wrapped herself tightly with her coat, as if she was protecting a precious work of art, not wanting it to be disturbed in the slightest.
After doing all this, she suddenly straightened her back, like a new birch tree, standing firmly in the storm, looking majestic.
Yun Shuo was stunned by Tianta's sudden action. Just as he was about to say something, Tianta quickly covered his mouth.
She gently raised a finger, placed it in front of her lips, and made a "hush" gesture. A maturity that was unfamiliar to Yun Shuo gleamed in her eyes, "Yun Shuo, I'm not a child anymore."
Although her voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.
Then, Tianta turned to face the group of men. Her eyes instantly became sharp and decisive. She ordered: "Bury the dead, and everyone leave now!"
However, these men did not respectfully carry out her orders as she wished. Instead, they directly challenged her, saying, "Sir! Lord Knowles' orders are for you to supervise the burning of this 'heretic'! Are you going to disobey Lord Knowles' orders and save him?"
There was a hidden threat in her words, causing Tianta's eyes to narrow.
Ultimately, Knowles was the true master of Sus Township, so in the eyes of these men, Knowles was their true master. Their obedience to Yutianta was only temporary, and they had no respect for him at all.
They are Tianta's subordinates, but they are also Knowles's spies who monitor Tianta.
Tianta's eyes were fixed on the woman who spoke first.
She walked up to her step by step, a cold smile on her lips.
Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, he suddenly pulled out the dagger hidden in his sleeve, raised his hand and stabbed the knife into the opponent's neck. Blood gushed out, spraying nearly half a meter high, and dripped onto Tianta's body.
The woman only had time to let out a half-scream of terror. After the sound died abruptly in the air, all the strength was drained from her body, and she fell limply.
Tianta glanced at her coldly, the corner of his mouth raised slightly, and he wiped the blood splattered on his face with his hand, and spat contemptuously: "Don't you see what you are?"
Then, her hawk-like gaze swept over her subordinates, who were standing there with varying expressions, and she asked in a deep voice, "Besides her, does anyone else have objections to my decision?"
The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and the men looked at each other, no one daring to speak. In this silence, Tianta once again revealed that cold smile, as if everything was under her control.
If you want to survive, you have to be more ruthless than others - this is the first lesson Tianta learned in the Kingdom of Wind.
Tianta's life here is not easy.
Even though she has divine power and is a believer in the God of Wind, no noble in the Kingdom of Wind would look down on her.
After years of hard work, she finally became a subordinate of Timothy, a middle-class noble. However, even the retainers of the lowest-level nobles would not have the slightest respect for her.
Just like this time, when the people of Sus Township dealt with "heretics", did they actually require the nobles to be present and watch the execution in person?
The nobles have always avoided these filthy things. They are in high positions and even hearing about such filthy behavior is considered a blasphemy to their status.
Therefore, this action was just a deliberate means of tormenting her.
However, this time, he was lucky enough to have a chance to meet Yun Shuo. Even if it was a struggle, as long as he could see Yun Shuo, it was good.
Tianta threw away the dagger casually, and the iron fell to the ground with a "crackling" sound.
She then took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from her palm meticulously, even leaving the tiny gaps between her nails untouched.
"Don't use Knowles's name to pressure me." She casually threw down the blood-stained handkerchief, which swung down and was soon soaked with blood.
Tianta said half in self-mockery and half seriously: "When beating a dog, you have to look at the owner first. Although you and I are both dogs, my master is nobler than yours. Similarly, I am nobler than you."
She gently stroked her fair and slender hands, and only after confirming that she was fine did she dare to hold Yun Shuo's hand.
Tianta gave him a shy smile, then turned and left with Yun Shuo.
Those men quietly split into two groups, one group was burying the bodies, and the other group was like a shadow, chasing them relentlessly, following them closely, oppressing them, and not willing to give them even a chance to breathe.
Although the situation just now was very confusing, Tianta was able to quickly sort out the confusing clues and roughly piece together the outline of the whole incident.
Most likely, Yun Shuo deceived these people into believing that they could gain divine power through some means (such as cutting flesh).
Although Tianta still didn't understand why Yun Shuo suddenly came to Sus Township, he was caught by these guys as a "heretic".
No one knew how he had deceived such a large group of people in public and made them believe his words without a doubt, but there was no doubt that everything he had just done was an attempt to get his hands on the power that belonged exclusively to the nobility.
Only the nobles can play with the common people in the name of God, and the common people are not qualified to play with the common people in the name of God.
Tianta knew that as a commoner, Yun Shuo could not possess divine power, which made him lose the easiest way to escape punishment.
So she had to find another way to save Yun Shuo's life.
"Yun Shuo..." Tianta pushed the corners of her eyes in an attempt to hide her tears, and carefully wiped away the overflowing tears with her fingertips. The crystal liquid seemed to carry all her fear and determination.
"I will definitely protect you, I swear." Her voice trembled slightly. She was clearly trying to save Yun Shuo, but she spoke in a pleading tone, "But the price is that you can't leave me again, okay? You are all I have, my only relative."
Yun Shuo was speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to respond to Tianta's words. It seemed that no matter what he said, it would sound hypocritical. He had to change the subject abruptly and said, "Tianta, how have you been these years?"
Ever since he learned that he was trapped in a corner of the Wind Kingdom, Yun Shuo's heart was ignited with a burning desire for revenge. His first reaction was to quickly find Lumi and avenge Aemon!
But he also knew that this was, after all, the Kingdom of Wind, someone else's territory. Going into someone else's territory alone, killing their nobles, and then hoping to escape unscathed was indeed a bit unrealistic.
Tianta was the daughter of Vespera. After the parade, she lost everything: her once proud identity, her high position, and the dignity that only nobles were entitled to.
For her now, Yun Shuo is the only ray of light that she has lost and regained.
He is not only her relative, but also her last support and comfort in this world.
But for Yun Shuo, killing Lumi is something he must do, even if it means risking his own life.
This is his mission, his responsibility, and his inescapable fate.
Not a direct answer? Tianta felt a little lost, unconsciously clutching the corner of her clothes, her fingers gently stroking the fine lines, trying to draw some comfort from them.
But in the face of Yun Shuo's concern, after a brief silence, she immediately adjusted her mentality and cheered up to respond.
"Not bad." Tianta managed a slight smile. "After all, I was once a noble, and later believed in the God of Wind and became a favored one. So the nobles here are still willing to give me a bite to eat."
It was as if she didn't want to worry Yun Shuo, and she didn't want to show her vulnerability in front of him. She had clearly cried in front of everyone before, and now she was trying to cover it up again.
So, she forced a smile and said proudly, "Don't underestimate me. I'm just assigned here to work. After a while, I'll take you back to the capital to see the world!"
Yun Shuo immediately saw that she was only reporting good news and not bad news, but he didn't expose her fragile disguise. Instead, he followed her lead and said jokingly, "Then I'll be waiting for Master Tianta's support. I'm afraid I'll have to rely on your care in the future in the capital."
"Of course!" Tianta finally smiled sincerely.
Chapter 6: Revealed
Along the way, Tianta kept trying to smile, trying to use this smile to hide the doubts and anxieties in her heart.
She didn't dare ask Yun Shuo what he had been doing all these years, or how he ended up here. No matter how curious she was, she didn't dare to touch upon it lightly, fearing that it would cause Yun Shuo's displeasure.
Tianta also deliberately avoided all topics related to the city of Cori, and just kept telling Yun Shuo about what he had experienced.
Also, because most of the things I experienced during the years in the Kingdom of Wind were bitter, I made up a lot of things.
Even if he could barely squeeze out some sweetness from the bitterness, he would always ponder it over in his mind, and then secretly modify some parts before he was willing to tell Yun Shuo.
Tianta was conflicted. She wanted to prove to Yun Shuo that she had grown up and no longer needed his protection, and now it was her turn to protect him.
He was also worried that Yun Shuo might feel that he had grown crooked, no longer as innocent as he remembered, but had become twisted and strange, making him unrecognizable.
After all, he is my mother's student!
For years, whenever she had trouble sleeping, Tianta would curl up in a corner, hug her knees tightly, and stare blankly at the wall.
She repeatedly recalled her past in Corrie City, trying to cover up the bitterness of the present with the sweetness of the past.
However, no matter how hard she tried to recall, the people and events she had spent days and nights with were quietly fading away. Memories were like sand in an hourglass, slipping away from her mind bit by bit - in the end, she could not keep anything.
When you forget something, the first thing you forget is its shortcomings.
Therefore, in Tianta's eyes, Yun Shuo's image became more and more perfect, as if he was an existence that could not tolerate any flaws, so much so that she could not even imagine that he would have any shortcomings or mistakes. She was constantly beautifying and idealizing this only relative.
He just needs to, and can only, stand there in glory and brightness.
I bear all the blame and I bear all the filth.
For this, she is willing to pay any price.
Yun Shuo was trying his best to find out more information, but Tianta just showed her signature smile and laughed it off casually.
After hurriedly but openly bringing Yun Shuo back to his house and settling him down, Tianta glanced at his subordinates who were following him like shadows. They were like a group of loyal tails, always following behind him "never leaving".
A cold smile curled up the corner of her mouth as she threatened, "I will report to Lord Knowles myself. But... you better protect him well and make sure he's safe!"
