Chapter 144 Lonely Tushan Yaya
"Didn't you ask me to drink it?"
Ximen Tianyu made a bitter face, wiped the wine that overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Tushan Yaya helplessly.
Although the wine made him feel uncomfortable, his worries were slightly alleviated when he saw her finally smile.
"You didn't say you don't drink."
Tushan Yaya chuckled and patted Ximen Tianyu on the shoulder to comfort him.
"Don't come on, if I say I can't drink, will Sister Yaya let me go?"
Seeing that Tushan Yaya's mood gradually returned to normal, Ximen Tianyu also relaxed.
When Tushan Yaya heard this, the expression on her face became lonely again.
"Will do."
Although Tushan Yaya answered in a very low voice, Ximen Tianyu who was sitting next to her still heard it.
He turned his head in surprise, as if he heard the sincerity and fragility in the answer.
"But why didn't you tell me? My sister, the stinking cockroach, and you, you've only been here for a short time, but you've done so many things without telling me..."
Before Ximen Tianyu could speak, Tushan Yaya suddenly stood up and said with some uncontrolled emotions.
"I know you are all doing this for my own good, but this kind of protection makes me feel even more lonely. My sister entrusted Tushan to me before she left, but I feel like an outsider. I don't even know the worries and plans in your hearts."
After all, Ximen Tianyu was only eleven years old and could not fully understand Tushan Yaya's inner feelings.
But since he comprehended the Heart Mirror, Ximen Tianyu could understand the various aspects of the world even without leaving his house. Now he is no longer the naive abandoned child of the family.
But as the golden figure said, overuse of the Heart Mirror would cause him to fall into an emotional whirlpool.
In addition, during this period of time, Tushan Yaya was one of the few friends he could talk to. Out of respect for his friend, Ximen Tianyu was unwilling to use the mind mirror to peek into her heart.
He sat quietly, his eyes gently falling on Tushan Yaya, trying to comfort her with his eyes. Although Ximen Tianyu was still young, he was mature and sensitive beyond his age. He understood that sometimes, listening could soothe people's hearts better than words.
"Sister Yaya, perhaps each of us has our own way to protect the people who are important to us. Your sister and Sister Rongrong both hope that you can live a carefree life. Just like you are also protecting Tushan and the people here in your own way."
Although he could not fully understand Tushan Yaya's specific feelings, Ximen Tianyu could feel the tacit understanding of mutual protection between her, Sister Cuiyu and Sister Rongrong.
"Don't give me that. Just tell me your plan. Is that so difficult?"
Hearing this, Tushan Yaya, who had just taken a big gulp of wine, suddenly turned around and her tone returned to her previous strong tone.
"Sister Yaya, the difficulty is not telling you the plan, but I am worried that after you know it, you will rush forward recklessly and bear the harm that you should not suffer."
After he finished speaking, Ximen Tianyu stood up and walked to Tushan Yaya, looking her in the eye, trying to make her feel his sincerity.
"But I am now the big sister of Tushan. How can I be kept in the dark by a little cockroach like you? Tell the truth quickly, or don't blame me for not cooperating with your plan."
Tushan Yaya put her hands on her hips, acting like a big sister, but the gleam in her eyes revealed her inner expectations. Seeing this, Ximen Tianyu couldn't help but chuckle. It turns out that the seemingly strong big sister actually needs to be understood and supported.
"Okay, since Sister Yaya wants to know so much, I'll tell you." Ximen Tianyu lowered his voice in a mysterious manner, as if he was going to tell you some earth-shattering secret. "But you have to promise me that after listening to me, don't be impulsive and believe that we are all capable of handling our own affairs."
Tushan Yaya widened her eyes and nodded vigorously, as if she was making some solemn promise.
However, Ximen Tianyu's first words caused all the coldness in Tushan Yaya's body to burst out.
"The Tiger and Leopard Tribe is actually the murderer of a murder case a month ago."
Just after Ximen Tianyu saw the tiger and leopard monsters for the first time, she learned the truth with the power of the heart mirror.
Tushan Yaya's face turned cold in an instant, and the cold air surrounding her body seemed to materialize, causing the temperature of the entire room to drop sharply.
"Tiger and Leopard Tribe... I'm going to kill these bastards right now!"
Her voice was low and angry, her fists clenched, and she took action immediately.
Seeing this, Ximen Tianyu quickly reached out his hand to stop her: "Sister Yaya, although these tiger monsters are extremely evil, now is not the time to take action."
"Timing? What timing? Anyone who dares to kill me, Tushan, must pay with blood immediately."
Tushan Yaya's eyes were as sharp as icy blades as she stared straight at Ximen Tianyu, as if she was going to break through his obstruction and attack the lair of the tiger and leopard tribe in the next second.
"Sister Yaya! Do you think that Tushan's enemy right now is just a small tribe of tigers and leopards?"
Ximen Tianyu's stern shout barely awakened Tushan Yaya's sanity.
She stared at Ximen Tianyu blankly, the anger in her eyes still lingering, but she also understood something: "You mean..."
"That's right. The Tiger and Leopard Tribe is just the tip of the iceberg. Sister Rongrong and I have found out that there is a much larger force behind all of this, and there is even the shadow of the Black Fox."
Hearing the word "Black Fox", Tushan Yaya finally realized the seriousness of the matter. She closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm her inner anger and impulse.
"Their goal is far more than just Tushan. If we act rashly now, it will only alert the enemy and may even trigger a greater crisis."
Ximen Tianyu's expression also became serious. He knew very well that he had to convince Tushan Yaya.
"Is this the reason why you and Rongrong insisted on holding this rally?"
When she opened her eyes again, Tushan Yaya's voice had returned to its usual calmness, but the anger in her eyes had not completely dissipated.
However, Ximen Tianyu shook his head: "That is just a stopgap measure to stabilize the forces of all parties."
"Tushan's territory is so vast that it is inevitable that others will covet it. However, most of the previous leaders of Tushan were strong enough to scare other forces away."
"But now, with some changes within Tushan and the stirrings of external forces, we have to act more cautiously."
Ximen Tianyu's tone was a little heavy. He knew very well that what he was about to say next might make it even more difficult for Tushan Yaya to accept.
