"How did you get so badly injured?" Lu Qingyan changed the subject, not wanting to talk about her own affairs anymore, and looked at Sima Xing with a puzzled expression.
Sima Xing shouldn't have ended up like this. Although his health is poor, his martial arts skills are not bad, yet he's being chased and attacked in such a sorry state.
Sima Xing gave a mocking laugh: "That Su Mo is simply insane. I don't understand why he keeps chasing me. It seems like he hasn't given me a kind look since we got engaged. Ayan, if I didn't know you, I would have thought you were really familiar with him."
As Sima Xing spoke, his gaze fell on Lu Qingyan, making Lu Qingyan feel like she was a femme fatale. But reason told her that this was simply impossible. Love at first sight? What a joke! Would Su Mo, the city lord of Pingcheng, be someone who believed that feelings were more important than anything else?
That's simply impossible, unless there's some huge conspiracy involved.
"Don't drag me into this. I don't know that person at all. Who knows what's wrong with him?" Lu Qingyan shuddered, feeling both hatred and fear towards Su Mo, who had brought her out.
She wasn't very brave to begin with, so how could she not be afraid when she was being forced into this situation? That Su Mo was simply the most terrifying demon king in the world.
Sima Xing saw her reaction and narrowed his peach blossom eyes: "Just stay away from that person in the future. He probably already thinks you're dead and won't pay any more attention to you."
"There are too many unexpected events in this world, so it's always better to be well-prepared," Lu Qingyan said. "Rather than having others protect me all the time, it's better to have my own power. Only in this way can I become a true strong person and not be controlled by others."
As Lu Qingyan said this, she felt a sharp pain in her head. The images flashed through her mind, and she couldn't bear it, so she fainted.
Although Sima Xing was seriously injured, he was still worried about Lu Qingyan. He took a few steps forward and reached out to check Lu Qingyan's pulse, only to find that she had no pulse at all.
"Rong Xu!" Sima Xing gritted his teeth, watching as Su Mo walked out of the bushes beside him.
He still possessed that same unparalleled elegance, a gentle smile playing on his lips: "Long time no see."
"Stop giving me that nonsense. What exactly did you do to her? Why did she faint?" Sima Xing's face remained calm, but his slightly trembling voice betrayed his nervousness.
"What do you think I would do to her?" Su Mo, or rather Rong Xu, looked at Sima Xing, also known as Rong Qing, with a mocking expression.
"She is the wife I have chosen, and I will naturally protect her well. Even if she dies, I will bring her back to life so that she can continue to be my wife." Rong Xu said, a hint of crimson flashing in his eyes.
"You shouldn't have tried to take her from me, you absolutely shouldn't have." Rong Xu warned Rong Qing, "I told you long ago, don't get involved in this. I'll repay you for the power I've borrowed, I won't just swallow it all up."
"What isn't yours will never be yours, and what is yours will remain yours. Rong Xu, do you lack confidence in yourself, or in her?"
They used to be such a trusting couple, but now he's started to doubt them.
"No matter how much I trust her, I can't prevent you from leaving here alone. I have to take precautions to avoid you lying to him."
