“My internal energy has been destroyed, and I’m practically a cripple now,” Xuan Yuan Du said. In the night, his smile was cool, lonely, and bitter. “That’s why I was captured and forced to be a male prostitute.”
Nan Lingqin...
The news was so shocking that she was momentarily stunned and couldn't quite accept it.
"...Who? Who did this?"
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Du looked behind him, "Yuwen..."
Before Xuanyuan could finish speaking, he felt a whooshing sound as it cut through the air, and in a flash, it was right in front of him, heading straight for Nan Lingqin's brow.
With the addition of a thousand troops, the situation can change in an instant.
Her clothes fluttered in her eyes, her green robes like ribbons swirling in the clouds. Nan Lingqin seemed to see Xuan Yuan Du smiling at her, a smile more gentle than ever before.
His facial features also became softer than ever before.
Blood bloomed between his brows, dazzling like the glow of clouds on the horizon.
But it was nighttime.
"flutter……"
Xuanyuan Du's body fell downwards like a kite with a broken string.
He blocked the sharp sword that had just come flying through the air, but it pierced straight into his forehead.
"Xuanyuan Du—"
Nan Lingqin's pupils contracted sharply. Regaining her senses, she suddenly lunged forward, grabbing him tightly and landing with him. She knelt on the ground, stroking his forehead, "Don't speak, don't move. I'll use cloud magic to stabilize you right now..."
"No……"
Xuanyuan Du held her hand tightly. "I..."
Blood was gushing out, his face was as pale as paper, and his breathing was weak.
Nan Lingqin held his wrist; there was no internal strength, no pulse.
What had he gone through before meeting her, and why was he about to suffer this catastrophic disaster so soon after meeting her...?
In the shadows, Tinghai had already set sail like a ship released from a bow, heading towards the direction of the sharp sword from before.
"Listen...listen to me..." Xuan Yuandu gasped for breath, holding onto Nan Lingqin's hand tightly, so tightly...
But in that instant, tears welled up in her eyes.
Because he knew clearly that he had so much to say, but he couldn't say it all, not even a single word...
"You don't have to tell me who did this to you. Tell me, I'm listening. Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you..."
"No...no...I..." Xuan Yuan Du's breath grew weaker and weaker, and his eyes began to turn white, but he still managed to utter the words with great effort and difficulty.
"Yuwen Yao... life... life... to live, to live..."
The words, spoken haltingly, though longing to be uttered, could only be met with resentment and anger. In the end, all the unspoken words vanished from her eyes, and her gaze suddenly closed.
His body slumped down, utterly exhausted.
"Xuanyuan Du, Xuanyuan Du..."
Nan Lingqin screamed in pain.
However, Xuanyuan Du's breath had already ceased.
Ming was perfectly fine just a moment ago, but now they are worlds apart.
That deep and profound face was so close, but the knife was powerless. She raised her hand and stopped the bleeding, but that sword strike was too cruel!
"You shouldn't have died like this."
Nan Lingqin's voice was deep as she held Xuan Yuandu, remaining motionless for a long time.
When Yuwen Yao arrived, he saw this scene, and Yu Yan's expression changed. "This is..."
"Is he one of your men or the Emperor's men?"
Nan Lingqin slowly raised her head, staring intently at Yuwen Yao with hatred and resentment in her eyes, a murderous aura suddenly appearing in them.
"I didn't do it..."
"That must be Yuwen An... Isn't he always by your side...?"
"It can't be Yuwen An either, Qin'er..."
Yuwen Yao looked somewhat anxious. "I will find out."
"Found out? Ha, Yuwen Yao, get out of here!"
Nan Lingqin roared, "If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened."
In the vast and silent alley, Yuwen Yao was stared at by Nan Lingqin's unusually bright starry eyes. Finally, he lowered his brows slightly.
"I really didn't do it."
Do you think I'll believe you?
Nan Lingqin gave a sarcastic sneer.
At that moment, Tinghai landed and said, "Miss, we found no trace. We don't know who did it."
Nan Lingqin was somewhat disappointed. She looked at Tinghai and handed Xuan Yuandu's body to him. "Send him back to Xixia safely. Tell Duanmu Rong that it was the Crown Prince of Beirong who did it. Ask him whether Guiyun Hexiu should stick to the homeland or step into the new path."
"...Yes, I will take care of it immediately."
"You want the Western Xia to attack Beirong as well?"
Yuwen Yao said.
"nature."
Nan Lingqin said, then frowned slightly.
Because the two of them were surrounded.
