Therefore, what happened just now was merely a smokescreen; the fight we are witnessing now is the real one.
Numb.
She had actually been outmaneuvered by Xu Yiran.
wrong.
Or perhaps he didn't want Yuwen Yao and Yuwen An to fight each other—they were brothers, so that possibility was extremely slim. Nor did he want to kill them both; that risk was too great. Rather…
They just wanted to... kill Yuwen Yao, or subdue Yuwen Yao, and then...
Xie Lingqin's expression suddenly changed drastically.
This game is too deep.
Xie Lingqin's heart pounded, her face darkening. The more anxious she was, the more composed she had to remain.
She knew.
...
Meanwhile, in the formation...
There was indeed a fierce fight.
Yuwen Yao thought he saw Xie Lingqin's face in front of him and was about to speak when his eyes darkened. Then, a sharp blade stabbed at him from behind.
In other words, if he hadn't known Xie Lingqin so well that he could tell at a glance that she was an imposter, he wouldn't have been able to dodge her at such close range, even with his superb lightness skills.
Tingfeng and Tingyu, their faces solemn, surrounded Yuwen Yao and stood protectively in front of him.
“Your Highness, we do not wish to kill you. As long as you come with us, we will not make things difficult for Miss Lingqin.”
Yuwen Yao looked at the man in black before him, his phoenix eyes slightly furrowed, and then he said with certainty, "She is not in your hands."
“I know His Highness the Crown Prince doesn’t believe me, so…”
The visitor took a tattered piece of cloth from his sleeve and spread it in his palm. "I think His Highness the Crown Prince knows whose this is."
This piece of cloth was the very one that Xu Yiran had just torn from Xie Lingqin's sleeve.
Yuwen Yao recognized it as Xie Lingqin's item, and as his eyes narrowed, he moved his palm.
"I advise Your Highness to think carefully. We just want you to come with us. Really, are you willing to risk Miss Lingqin's life?"
Yuwen Yao suddenly fell silent, and an immense aura of malevolence instantly enveloped his entire body.
Just then, a dark figure appeared behind Yuwen Yao. In the thick and thin mist, like a wisp of wind, it passed under Yuwen Yao's armpit, and a sharp blade, gleaming with a cold light, plunged straight into his waist and abdomen...
"Smack—"
A graceful figure flashed through the air, and was kicked away just as the sharp blade was millimeters away from Yuwen Yao's waist and abdomen.
Then, suddenly, all was quiet.
The man in black who had been kicked away stood up from the ground and looked at Xie Lingqin, who had suddenly appeared in front of him. His eyes narrowed under the black cloth. "Ling..." However, under Xie Lingqin's cold gaze, the man in black immediately waved his hand and said, "Withdraw."
Immediately, everyone retreated like a receding tide, as if nothing had happened.
Yuwen Yao didn't order anyone to chase after them. Without saying a word, he pulled Xie Lingqin into his arms.
"boom."
Suddenly, a tremendous, earth-shaking sound rang out.
"Yuwen An."
Yuwen Yao's expression changed, and he immediately led Xie Lingqin through the formation.
"Yuwen Yao, if you don't kill Xie Lingqin, I'll die right now in front of you."
At that very moment, the thick fog suddenly dissipated.
Ahead, Yuwen An's figure appeared.
He stood there, his face ashen, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at Xie Lingqin, and in his hand he held a small jade bottle.
"Otherwise, I will destroy this antidote."
Yuwen An said.
Yuwen Mou's pupils contracted slightly.
Xie Lingqin's complexion was also not good. It must have been because when Yuwen Yao was fighting her in this battle, Yuwen Yao was distracted because he was worried about her, and Yuwen An obtained the antidote.
Listening to the wind and listening to the rain exchanged a glance, unsure of what to do.
Yuwen Yao released Xie Lingqin and sighed, "Give me the antidote. It's not safe here. We need to leave as soon as possible."
"I know someone is using this formation to try and kill you, but don't worry, I won't let you die."
Yuwen An remained calm, but the medicine bottle twirled between his fingertips, looking as if it would fall to the ground and shatter into pieces at any moment.
"If she dies, what use is this antidote to me?" Yuwen Yao said helplessly, but his tone clearly contained anger.
"Yes, that's what I think too, so..."
Yuwen An suddenly smiled knowingly, and then actually threw the medicine bottle toward the cliff.
The power is great.
Yuwen Yao and Xu Yiran, who suddenly appeared, went to get it almost at the same time.
However……
The antidote shattered in mid-air.
"Whoosh—"
Xu Yiran held a leaf to Yuwen An's neck. The man, who was usually as pure as flowing water, now had a gloomy look in his eyes.
"I think you're quite good. You're skilled in martial arts and good-looking too. Why don't you make Xie Lingqin devoted to you? That way, she won't like Yuwen Yao."
Yuwen An wasn't afraid at all; instead, he looked at Xu Yiran with a smile.
His expression told everyone that he was telling the truth.
Xu Yiran looked at her, and after a moment, smiled, "After all these years, this is the first time you've said something that touches my heart."
"Oh, so you're the man who often secretly comes to see me."
"Exactly."
"I like you, let's be friends..."
"Yuwen An!"
Yuwen Yao gave a light shout, but Yuwen An glanced at him indifferently and said, "I see that you have a beauty in your arms now, so you don't think I'm important anymore. Therefore, I will help Xu Yiran pursue Xie Lingqin from now on."
Xie Lingqin's lips twitched.
Moreover, she could clearly see that Yuwen Yao was angry.
Having a younger brother like that is definitely a headache...
"Let's go, ignore them."
Yuwen An gently flicked away the thin leaf from Xu Guaiyi's hand, grinning broadly, "Come on, let's go play! And let me tell you, the antidote is still in my possession. The time you marry Xie Lingqin, I'll..."
