sleepless nights
Ban Tianyue slowly opened the spy's note, which read: "Madam Yuzhu is seriously ill. The goddess Long and Ouyang will go in and out together tomorrow."
"Goddess Dragon and Ouyang Mingri? Why is Madam Yuzhu seriously ill? Is it true that Ouyang Feiying has gone crazy, and Madam Yuzhu couldn't bear the blow and fell ill? Then, how to explain Goddess Dragon and Ouyang Mingri? Is it true that Goddess Dragon has really lost her memory and forgotten everything between her and Sima Changfeng?" Bantianyue was puzzled.
"No, it's impossible. Could it be a trap like yesterday?" Bantianyue thought again.
"If the Dragon Goddess didn't lose her memory, then why didn't she go in and out with Sima Changfeng, but went in and out with Ouyang Mingri? Could it be that there's a rift between the Dragon Goddess and Sima Changfeng?"
Thinking of this, Bantianyue felt a little happy. "If there really is a rift between the Goddess Dragon and Sima Changfeng, then the power of the combined sword will definitely be weakened. I can take this opportunity to get rid of Sima Changfeng and the Goddess Dragon. Hahahahahaha."
"No," Ban Tianyue thought, "Could it be that they deliberately set up a trap to make me think that there was a rift between Sima Changfeng and the Dragon Goddess so that they could take action? In fact, all this was planned by them? However, if Ouyang Mingri really did take the Dragon Goddess away, this would indeed be a great opportunity to get rid of them."
"It seems that I have to go and find out for myself."
In the room, beside the bed, Sima Changfeng silently guarded her.
"Yan'er, you will wake up tomorrow, you must wake up." Changfeng thought.
"Changfeng," Bantianyue walked in slowly.
"Bantianyue!" Sima Changfeng tightly gripped the Dragon Soul Sword and glared at Bantianyue fiercely.
"Changfeng, why aren't you with the Dragon Goddess? Instead, why are you here alone with the patient?" Bantianyue asked, "Could it be that the Dragon Goddess and Ouyang Mingri..."
"You are talking nonsense!" Sima Changfeng said.
"I raised you, I understand you," Bantianyue said earnestly, "Actually, I don't want to believe it either, but looking at your current situation..."
"I have nothing to say to you. Make your move." Sima Changfeng said.
"Cough, cough, cough," Bantianyue coughed. "When I jumped off the cliff, I never thought I could survive. Although I've luckily managed to survive, my skills are no longer as strong as before. Cough, cough, cough... I just came to see you. I'm in this state, I'm afraid... I won't live much longer..."
"Humph, do you think I will believe you just like that?" Sima Changfeng said, "Don't dream!"
"Cough cough cough... Actually, the reason I came here today is that I want you to do me a favor. I... cough cough cough cough cough..." Bantianyue fainted on the ground.
"Godfather..." Sima Changfeng blurted out.
Seeing Ban Tianyue seriously injured and unconscious, Sima Changfeng used the Dragon Soul Sword to stab him several times to prevent a trick. Ban Tianyue did not move. Sima Changfeng then stepped forward and prepared to help him up.
At the moment when Changfeng's hand touched Bantianyue, Bantianyue suddenly pressed Changfeng's acupoint. Changfeng gritted his teeth and said, "You..."
"You are truly my good adopted son," Bantianyue said with a smile, "How many times has your adoptive father told you that the world is treacherous and people's hearts are unpredictable? When will you finally learn this? Hahahaha..."
After saying that, he carried Madam Yuzhu on his back and left.
Gu Mutian, the old man from the frontier, Sai Huatuo, Sima Changfeng and Leng Yue discussed how to rescue people together.
"It's all my fault. I was fooled by Bantianyue and hurt Yan'er!" Sima Changfeng regretted it deeply.
"Brother Sima, don't blame yourself," Ouyang Ming said. "Bantianyue is treacherous and cunning, and you're no match for him. If a fight breaks out, it would be bad if Miss Shangguan gets hurt. Let's think about how to save her."
At this moment, something flew in with a whoosh. Gu Mutian caught it and saw a piece of paper nailed to the dart. It read: "To save Madam Yuzhu, tomorrow at noon, at Broken Sword Cliff."
"Changfeng, what did Bantianyue say to you at that time?" asked the old man from the border.
"He asked me why I wasn't with Yan'er." Changfeng thought for a moment and replied.
The Dragon Goddess and Ouyang Mingri exchanged glances, and Mingri said, "It seems we have been under their surveillance the entire time."
"What should we do during the duel tomorrow? Yan'er is now in Bantianyue's hands. Miss Leng doesn't know martial arts, and without the combination of sword and knife, I'm afraid she can't beat Bantianyue." Sima Changfeng said anxiously.
"Changfeng, here are me and my old friend! Don't worry, I will never let that bad boy Bantianyue hurt Xiaoyaner!" Gumutian said, patting his chest.
The goddess dragon, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Leng Yue has a method that might work."
"Tell us about it!" everyone said in unison.
"I can communicate with Miss Shangguan through my mind. Maybe I can bring her soul into my body during the duel. If possible, I can join forces with Brother Sima in swordsmanship." said the goddess dragon.
"Is this method dangerous? How confident are you?" Ouyang Mingri asked.
"This method requires the presence of Miss Shangguan. If Bantianyue does not bring Miss Shangguan to the Broken Sword Cliff, it will not work. There is no danger, as long as Bantianyue does not harm her physical body." said the goddess dragon.
"Then everything depends on God's will." Sima Changfeng said.
"Brother Sima, please relax. I have been observing the stars these days and nights. Although Miss Shangguan's natal star is flickering a little, its brightness has not diminished. I think she will be safe." Ouyang Mingri comforted him.
"I hope so." Sima Changfeng said with a heavy heart.
The crabapple blossoms in the courtyard are blooming, their fragrance filling the air. But no one is in the mood to admire them. I'm afraid tonight will be a sleepless night.
"You said Shangguan Yan escaped danger this time, is that true?" asked the goddess dragon.
"It's true," Ouyang Mingri said, "What about you? You said you could bring Shangguan Yan's soul into your body. Is that true?"
The dragon goddess shook her head.
Ouyang Mingri was extremely surprised: "Then why...?"
The goddess dragon signaled him not to speak out. Ouyang Mingri nodded and asked, "What are your plans, young lady?"
The Dragon Goddess drew out the Phoenix Blood Sword and asked with a smile, "Tell me, what is love?"
"Why do you ask this question, young lady?" Ouyang Mingri was puzzled.
The dragon goddess laughed and said, "It is said that swords have feelings, but they only think that they are feelings of love. Then, what kind of feelings are there between a sword and its master?"
"The feeling of friendship." Ouyang Mingri answered.
"Yes, the Phoenix Blood Sword is loyal to its owner. I believe that it will not let its owner die so easily." As the goddess dragon spoke, she suddenly grasped the sword blade tightly with her hand and pulled hard in the direction of the sword tip. With a "swish" sound, the sword was covered with blood.
"Are you crazy?!"
“This is the only way.”
The goddess dragon looked at the blood-stained Phoenix Blood Sword and prayed silently: "Phoenix Blood Sword, oh Phoenix Blood Sword, if you really have a spirit, please save your master!"
In the cell, Bantianyue kept lingering beside Madam Yuzhu.
"Why is Madam Yuzhu seriously ill? Why is Sima Changfeng not with the Dragon Goddess, but with Madam Yuzhu instead? Could it be..."
After thinking about it, Bantianyue touched Madam Yuzhu's face with his hand, and finally felt something strange near her ear. He took off the lid and saw that it was the face of a little girl he didn't recognize.
"Hmm? Not the Dragon Goddess?" Ban Tianyue thought, "What exactly are they planning? Why would they go to so much trouble to accompany a little girl? Could it be that they had long expected that I was still alive and deliberately came up with this conspiracy and trick, acting for me, making me think that there was a rift between Sima Changfeng and the Dragon Goddess so that I would not be on guard? How insidious and cunning. In that case, the sword and the knife combined..."
Bantianyue was a little worried about tomorrow's duel.
"Hmph, even if this was planned by you, so what!" Bantianyue changed his mind, "Bai Tong is already dead. Even if only 30% of my indestructible golden Buddha body is left, what can you guys do to me?! Hahahahahahaha..."
Bantianyue put the mask back on the little girl and walked out of the cell with confidence.
Ouyang Mingri bandaged the dragon goddess's wound and said, "Why are you doing this, young lady?"
The dragon goddess smiled and asked, "You care about me a lot?"
Ouyang Mingri felt guilty and lowered his head and said, "It's all my fault. Miss, you shouldn't have gotten involved in these disputes. It's me..."
"Hey," said the dragon goddess, "now that things have come to this, there is no need to blame yourself, young master."
"But I owe you too much," said Ouyang Mingri.
"Now you know how Shangguan Yan feels about you, right?" the dragon goddess said with a smile.
Ouyang Mingri was startled, avoiding Leng Yue's eyes, and said with his head down: "Perhaps, it will take some time for me to really let go of Miss Shangguan."
The dragon goddess laughed even harder.
"Why is the girl laughing?" Ouyang Mingri was puzzled.
"I never said I like you." The dragon goddess said with a smile.
Ouyang Mingri's cheeks flushed slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up unnaturally: "Miss, you are joking."
The Dragon Goddess said, "I'm just asking you if you can understand Shangguan Yan's feelings for you. I believe she has also said that she owes you a lot."
Ouyang Mingri pondered for a moment and said, "That's true. I understand now. She has always felt only gratitude towards me, not love."
"I'm sorry for making you sad again by saying these words," said the dragon goddess.
"No, the young lady's words have enlightened me," Ouyang Mingri said. "I'm not sad, but I see this relationship more clearly and can better understand each other's feelings."
"I'm glad you think so." The dragon goddess smiled cunningly, "Since you owe me, why not pay it back now?"
“How do I pay off my debt?”
"Teach me how to transmit sound over a thousand miles."
