Sword and Blade
When the old man from the frontier, Ouyang Mingri, Sima Changfeng, and the goddess dragon arrived, Bantianyue was already standing at the edge of the Broken Sword Cliff, holding Madam Yuzhu as a hostage in one hand.
Ban Tianyue said: "If you want to save Madam Yuzhu, you have to sacrifice your life in exchange!"
Ouyang Mingri laughed out loud, "Hahahahaha," "Bantianyue, do you really think she's Madam Yuzhu?"
"Oh? Hahaha!" Ban Tianyue also laughed, "You used a half-dead little palace maid to fool me, did you really think I didn't know? Hahaha..."
Bantianyue threw the hostage into the air. After the hostage stayed in the air for one second, he began to fall freely.
“Hahahaha…hahahaha…” Bantianyue laughed extremely wildly.
"Changfeng," the goddess dragon smiled at Sima Changfeng and said, "I'm here."
Sima Changfeng nodded excitedly, and drew out and raised the Dragon Soul Sword and Phoenix Blood Sword at the same time. The dragon and the phoenix flew out of the swords almost at the same time, and intertwined with each other.
The two shouted in unison: "Long Qing Xue Xin!"
Ban Tianyue, momentarily complacent, was slow to attack, forcing him into passive resistance. He employed his Qinggong (lightness skills), hovering in mid-air and counterattacking, but the Dragon Goddess and Sima Changfeng immediately launched a new attack. Ban Tianyue's power was only halfway utilized before he was forced to unleash it, countering Long Qing Xuexin. He found that the combined sword and blade attacks weren't as powerful as in previous encounters, but they were more swift and intense, making them exhausting to contend with. Even if the combined sword and blade attacks wouldn't kill him, he wouldn't have gained any advantage, not to mention the presence of the Border Elder. If he continued to fight, he would likely suffer if the Border Elder attacked, or even if he didn't, but merely offered some guidance to Sima Changfeng and the Dragon Goddess.
After weighing the pros and cons, Bantianyue had no choice but to say, "I'll take revenge for today another day!" and then ran away.
Sima Changfeng looked at the dragon goddess affectionately: "Yan'er..."
The dragon goddess rolled her eyes at him and said, "What Yan'er? Go to the bottom of the cliff and see if the ancient elder has caught Yan'er!"
Everyone hurried to the foot of the cliff, but did not see a single person.
The old man from the frontier smiled and said, "This old guy runs pretty fast! They must have returned to the palace first. Let's go back too."
In the imperial palace villa, in the room of Shangguan Yan and Sima Changfeng.
Shangguan Yan has taken off her mask and restored her original appearance.
Sai Hua Tuo wound the golden thread with his hands and said, "It's okay, Miss Shangguan will wake up tomorrow."
"Miss Leng, you borrowed Yan'er's soul during the day. I wonder if her soul has returned to its place now?" Sima Changfeng asked.
Leng Yue smiled and said, "Never left."
Sima Changfeng looked confused and bewildered.
"Miss Leng lied to you that she could bring Miss Shangguan's soul into her body, just to make the sword and the sword work together smoothly." Ouyang Ming said, "Miss Leng, now you can be yourself again."
"Yes," Leng Yue nodded and tore off the mask that he had worn for more than half a month. Under the mask was a pale little face, even thinner than half a month ago.
Seeing Leng Yue like this, Ouyang Mingri couldn't help but frown. His chest felt like it was stuffed with a large ball of cotton, and he couldn't breathe or speak.
"I still don't quite understand," Sima Changfeng said. "Hua Tuo just said that the girl lied to me so that the sword and the knife could be combined. But what exactly is this sword and the knife combined?"
"There are two reasons," Leng Yue said, "First, under the circumstances at that time, you could only use the essence of the Dragon Soul Sword Technique if you regarded me as the real Shangguan Yan. The Dragon Soul Sword and the Phoenix Blood Sword are originally a pair of affectionate swords. The combination of swords and swords is not the combination of you and me." Leng Yue said with a smile, but then felt that what she said was inappropriate and blushed.
"What's the second reason?" Sima Changfeng asked.
"The second reason is that the Phoenix Blood Sword has deep feelings for its master. It can sense that I am not its master, and it can also sense that the master is in trouble, so it will definitely cooperate with the Dragon Soul Sword with all its strength. As for me, I just need to let it lead and try my best to cooperate with your Dragon Soul Sword Technique." Leng Yue said.
"There is a third reason," Ouyang Mingri said, "this third one..."
"The third reason is that we attacked fiercely. Even if the power of the combined swords and knives is not as strong as when you and Miss Shangguan combined their swords and knives, Bantianyue still couldn't gain the upper hand." Leng Yue interrupted Ouyang Mingri and added hurriedly.
"I see," Sima Changfeng clasped his hands together and said, "Miss, I will never forget your great kindness."
"Brother Sima, don't be so polite," Leng Yue said with a smile, "In that situation, if I help you, I'm also helping myself. Look, I'm the only one who doesn't know martial arts. If I don't repel Ban Tianyue quickly, I'm afraid I'll be the first to die."
Ouyang Mingri looked at Leng Yue and shook his head silently.
This time, Ouyang Mingri just changed Leng Yue's medicine silently without saying a word.
Leng Yue noticed something was wrong and asked cautiously, "What's wrong, young master?"
Ouyang Mingri's mouth curled up, but he let out a soft sigh.
"Young master, feel free to speak." Leng Yue said.
"Why didn't you tell the truth just now?" Ouyang Mingri asked.
"What truth?"
"The third reason is that the girl used her own blood to make a covenant with the Phoenix Blood Sword, right?" Ouyang Mingri said, staring into Leng Yue's eyes.
"That's right, since you already know, there's no need to say more," Leng Yue said, "You understand."
"Now that Miss Shangguan has been rescued, you don't want to mention this matter again, right?" Ouyang Mingri asked.
Leng Yue smiled and said, "The one who understands me is Mr. Mingri."
Ouyang Mingri tilted his lips slightly and sighed again.
"Why are you sighing, sir?" Leng Yue asked.
"I just don't understand." Mingri said.
"What don't you understand?" Leng Yue asked.
"Everyone wants to boast about their own good points, but the girl insists on portraying herself as greedy, cowardly and profit-driven. I really don't understand." Ouyang Mingri put the used medicine back into the medicine box and said slowly.
Leng Yue chuckled: "It's true that I'm afraid of death. Who doesn't fear death?"
Ouyang Mingri narrowed his eyes in doubt: "Really?"
Leng Yue blinked and asked, "Do you feel sorry for me?"
"The girl is in this state, how can she still be in the mood to joke?" Ouyang Mingri was a little angry.
Leng Yue laughed so hard that her waist bent.
Ouyang Mingri always prided himself on being smart and calm, confident that no matter how cunning the opponent, he could see through their tricks and subdue them in a matter of minutes. However, he had never encountered a situation like this before. The little girl before him was laughing inexplicably, completely baffling him, especially while he was speaking so seriously. The arrogant Mingri suddenly felt disrespected.
"It's incomprehensible!" Ouyang Mingri said as he grabbed the medicine box and walked out the door angrily.
"Young Master," Leng Yue called out to Ouyang Mingri.
Ouyang Mingri turned around, still furious, and asked coldly, "Miss, is there anything else?"
"If one sees me with the eyes, or seeks me with the voice, he is following the wrong path and cannot see the Tathagata."
----Ouyang Mingri once said this.
"So?" Ouyang Mingri asked.
"As long as you understand me, it's enough. Leng Yue is satisfied." Leng Yue said with a smile.
Ouyang Mingri calmed down a little and said softly, "Miss, you should go to bed early." After that, he turned and left.
Leng Yue lay on the bed, covering her mouth and giggling for a long time like a crazy fangirl. She laughed and talked to herself: "He's so cute when he's serious and when he's shy! I'm laughing to death! Hahahahaha...haha..."
Ouyang Mingri lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Leng Yue's smile was like a warm breeze, blowing into his heart, blowing away all the troubles and hardships he had endured for the past two weeks.
"This girl, really..." Ouyang Mingri couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
