Nan Lingqin...
Yuwen Yao began to feel anxious and uncertain, which was not a good sign.
"They're gone."
Nan Lingqin didn't want to listen anymore; it wasn't easy to get pregnant at this time, honey.
The two mounted their horses and quickly left the Lan residence with Lan Xinyue, exiting Baidi City.
They walked in silence, Lan Xinyue's silence as if she didn't exist. Of course, it was obvious that she wasn't "seeing them off," but "following them."
Neither Yuwen Yao nor Nan Lingqin exposed it.
"Nan Lingqin, will you kill Xu Yiran?"
Lan Xinyue, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, her voice low and cold.
Nan Lingqin slowed the horse down to run alongside Lan Xinyue, looking at the woman's determined profile in the cold wind, "I won't... I won't."
Are you hesitating?
“Lan Xinyue…” Nan Lingqin looked at her, “Do you know, I owe Xu Yiran so much, I owe him so much. Even if he wanted to kill me, or even if he wanted to torture me, I would never want to kill him. But if he wants to kill Yuwen Yao, then I…” Nan Lingqin frowned, without saying a word, “I will have no choice but to kill him.”
Upon hearing this, Lan Xinyue was taken aback. After a moment, she lowered her brows, a hint of melancholy on her face, and said, "I understand."
Both of them are intelligent people; some things don't need to be said too explicitly.
With a quick glance, Nan Lingqin met Yuwen Yao's gaze, who was turning around to look at her. She hugged him and smiled slightly.
As dawn faded, sunlight rippled through the clouds, smoothing the icy edge on Nan Lingqin's face, yet it seemed unable to penetrate the sky above Beirong Capital.
After the upheavals and turmoil, who knows in whose hands this world will find peace?
"Whoosh—"
Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound pierced the air, followed by a rain of arrows heading straight for the three people who were on their way.
"Hissing".
The horse barked wildly, was stabbed by the sword, and immediately collapsed with its front legs buckling.
Immediately afterwards, in the blink of an eye, the three horses became targets.
Nan Lingqin, Yuwen Yao, and Lan Xinyue had already flown away and were now standing to the side, their faces cold and aloof.
Nan Lingqin was embraced by Yuwen Yao, who protected her completely, but her gaze was fixed on the group of people who were closing in from the front. They were clearly from the Underworld.
And what's leading the way is something so familiar.
"Sister Lingqin".
It was a woman, dressed in black, with beautiful features, who was calling her softly.
"Li Qingru".
Nan Lingqin looked at her, not surprised, but only feeling cold. "You... you actually mixed up with the people from the Underworld."
"I've just been following in the footsteps of the Northern Emperor."
Li Qingru didn't dare to look directly at Yuwen Yao, but pointed to the people behind her, saying in a somewhat ingratiating tone, "Your Majesty, look, they are all people from the Yama Palace, those who once followed the Grand Elder and you. I'm bringing them here to help you and to pledge my allegiance to you."
Yuwen Yao stood there, as straight as a tree, without even blinking. After a moment, he turned to look at Nan Lingqin, his gaze gentle as water, and said, "What do you think?"
"I said..."
Nan Lingqin secretly pinched Yuwen Yao, "You're really something, dragging me into this again."
"I said, from now on, if you say one, I won't dare say two; if you tell me to go left, I won't go right."
Yuwen Yao's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and he spoke with perfect obedience.
Nan Lingqin was speechless yet deeply touched. Meeting his gentle gaze, she suddenly thought how wonderful it would be if time could stop at this moment, allowing her and Yuwen Yao to stay here without caring about or thinking about anything.
