Peach-Orange! – Chapter 587 – I-Is Little Sister Dead?

After entering the deep mountains and old forests, the dangers encountered were not as heart-stopping as those outside.

Surrounded by darkness, it was utterly silent except for the sound of the vehicle. The winding, twisting path, and the occasional rustling sound as the off-road vehicle brushed past thickets.

Compared to physical danger, it was more of a mental oppression.

In these deep mountains late at night, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say ghosts might appear the next second.

Fortunately, however, the journey was uneventful all the way.

Following the markers, they drove for a full hour and finally stopped at the end of a small path.

Naiyue said, “The car probably can’t go any further on the next part of the road, but according to the markers, it’s very close. Let’s just get out and walk.”

“Mm,” Su Tao responded, tightening her hoodie again and slinging the silenced rifle behind her back, giving off a vibe of a mercenary girl.

Su Tianyu also jumped down from the vehicle. “Miss, let the two of us go ahead directly. The rest can stay here and keep watch.”

Su Tao furrowed her brows. “Just us?”

“According to the markers, the place where your brother is located is just over the back slope of that hill ahead. Unless they’ve moved again, we can reach it in a few minutes.

“Also, to break out, we must continue using the vehicles here anyway, so we’ll have to come back.”

Of course, his ulterior motive was to seize an opportunity to be alone with her.

The hill ahead looked quite steep. What if they needed to support each other?

He really wanted to get close to her.

Su Tianyu spoke again to the frowning Su Tao, “How about it? I’ll lead the way.”

“Fine.”

This kind of person is really annoying.

Fourth hour away from Xiaocheng, missing her.

I wonder how she’s doing at home now.

With Xiao Hei there, she probably won’t wet the bed, right?

Thinking of Chi Xiaocheng in her heart, Su Tao followed behind Su Tianyu.

Along the way, this oily man kept trying to make conversation.

But Su Tao simply didn’t want to pay him any attention, making Su Tianyu somewhat awkward.

As for his thoughts about supporting each other on steep sections, that existed only in his fantasies. What is Su Tao?

War God bloodline!

Much stronger than ordinary ancient martial arts practitioners.

Activating the bloodline, gathering strength to jump three or four meters high is normal. If the path is blocked, just pick up a large rock from the ground to use as a weapon and clear the way.

Finally, after reaching the other side of the hill, before Su Tao and Su Tianyu had fully descended, they heard a warning voice from the shadows, “Raise your hands, put down your weapons, or I’ll shoot!”

It was a hidden sentry responsible for vigilance.

By the dim moonlight, they could also see several gun-wielding figures emerging from the darkness ahead.

Su Tao saw that one of the figures had only one arm and immediately jumped down from the hill excitedly. “Brother… Brother Chi Song, are you okay?”

Hearing the familiar voice, Chi Song was stunned. “Xiao Tao?!”

Brother Long turned on his flashlight. Sure enough, he saw the young girl had pushed back her hood, revealing that pretty little face and the familiar high ponytail.

Having been in the mountains for over ten days, everyone, including Brother Long and Chi Song, was covered in dust and dirt, their clothes stained and torn.

Large and small wounds were constant.

Instantly, tears welled up in Su Tao’s eyes. She watched as Chi Song walked over, lowered her head, and bit her lip tightly. “I’m… I’m sorry, Brother Chi Song, I… I’m sorry…”

Seeing Su Tao lower her head and start crying, repeatedly saying she was sorry, Chi Song immediately looked at the other person on the hill.

It was a man, not Xiaocheng!

Could it be…

Chi Song reached out and immediately grabbed Su Tao’s shoulders, his tone urgent. “Is Little Sister dead?!”

“Uh…” Su Tao wiped her tears. “No, Xiaocheng is locked up at my home. She’s fine.”

Chi Song’s tense expression immediately relaxed. “Then what are you saying sorry for? I thought something had happened to Little Sister.”

“It’s not that.” Su Tao shook her head, her tone full of guilt. “It’s… it’s that during this time, Xiaocheng always wanted to come save you, but I was afraid she’d have an accident, so I kept stopping her, not letting her come to rescue you.”

“And then…” Su Tao took a deep breath, burying her head even lower. “And then, while I was stopping Xiaocheng, I also didn’t… didn’t take action to save you myself. If I hadn’t gotten an opportunity these past couple of days, then… maybe even if something happened to you, I would still have ignored you.

“Even worse, I was stopping Xiaocheng from saving you.”

She wasn’t a good little sister.

Her brother fell into danger for her sake, and not only did she not come to save him, she even stopped others from saving him.

What if Brother Chi Song had gotten into trouble during these days?

Such good luck isn’t always available.

Chi Song noticed Su Tao’s emotions and patted her shoulder with his single hand. “Don’t think too much about it. Your brother doesn’t blame you. On the contrary, you locking Little Sister at home and not letting her out was the right thing to do. She tends to act impulsively and get into trouble.

“Why do you think your brother took such risks? Wasn’t it hoping that you two could stay safe and sound?”

His pleased expression deliberately carried a hint of displeasure. “Your brother doesn’t even want you to come here. Now that you’ve entered this place, it means you’re also in danger. What should I do if something happens to you? What should Xiaocheng do?”

He said bluntly, “Your brother entrusted Xiaocheng to you, so you must protect her. Not like today, leaving her to come find me. In your heart, Xiaocheng should be more important than me, understand?”

“Yes!”

Su Tao nodded vigorously, tears uncontrollably welling up again.

Although there was a bit of an accident this time.

She really did protect Xiaocheng.

She found Brother Chi Song herself, and Xiaocheng was imprisoned at home, safe.

This counts as protection, right?

Su Tao sniffled, then bowed to Brother Long and the other several brothers. “Thank you, Brother Long. Thank you, all my brothers. Thank you so much for risking your lives for my sake!”

Brother Long laughed heartily and waved his hand.

In contrast, his other few subordinates all showed somewhat shy, timid expressions.

It was only then that Chi Song looked towards Su Tianyu, who had come down from the hill and was staring intently at Su Tao.

He walked over and extended his single arm. “Thank you for protecting Xiao Tao, brother. My name is Chi Song. How should I address you, brother?”

“Su Tianyu.” Su Tianyu also snapped back to reality, shook Chi Song’s hand, and revealed a bright smile. “Brother Chi Song, is it okay to call you that? Actually, we two are somewhat related.”

“Related?” Chi Song didn’t understand Su Tianyu’s words.

“Yes.” Su Tianyu looked towards Su Tao. “Sister Tao’s father is my adoptive father. I am the successor of the War God Temple, specially here to protect Sister Tao.”

He switched back to his previous form of address for her. At the same time, he glanced at Su Tao’s stunning profile, still marked with tear tracks.

He took a light breath, showed a confident smile, and looked at Brother Chi Song. “In a sense, Brother Chi Song is also my brother-in-law.”

“Huh?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present, except for Su Tao, frowned and looked at Su Tianyu.

Chi Song, in particular, revealed a gentle smile. “Brother Su, what do you mean by that?”
