pain!
Nan Lingqin had only one feeling: she was fully conscious, but she couldn't open her eyes. She felt a cool breeze blowing from afar, caressing her face like a pair of gentle and loving hands, but she couldn't perceive her surroundings.
She was worried about Yuwen Yao and even more worried about the child. Her first reaction was to touch her belly, but her whole body felt weak and limp, not like she had been poisoned, because she couldn't even circulate the Cloud Technique within her body.
"Don't worry, the child will be fine." A gentle and kind voice suddenly rang in her ears, as if in a dream. Just as Nan Lingqin was about to speak, she heard the voice coming from not far away.
Where is she?
"What?"
"Want to die? Even if I kill you, I can still find him."
"No, it wasn't me."
It was Yuwen Yao's voice, and Xue Ningshuang's voice too. It felt so far away, yet so close.
They were arguing, over her?
“Young Master Yuwen, please believe me, I really did not hide Nan Lingqin.”
"You carry her scent." Yuwen Yao's words were sharp and decisive, each one laced with murderous intent.
Xue Ningshuang retreated step by step, her eyes filled with fear. "I really didn't. She went missing earlier and was looking for you, but she had fainted. I helped her onto the bed and took her pulse. She was just feeling unwell due to a sudden surge of anger. When I went out to get her medicine and came back, she was gone."
Xue Ningshuang was extremely anxious in the end, her two dark eyebrows furrowed tightly. "My people are gone too, ten thousand elites, gone without a trace. Maybe Nan Lingqin is two-faced, pretending to give me a way out, but secretly taking those people away. After all... after all, didn't I have your help with these forces back then, Young Master Yuwen?"
"Bang……"
Almost as soon as Xue Ningshuang finished speaking, Yuwen Yao waved his wide sleeves, and Xue Ningshuang was sent flying far away. She landed on the ground with such force that her chest felt like it was about to crack, and she trembled so badly that she could hardly get up.
"Remember this, I have never helped you. You only have these 10,000 men by chance. So don't even think about things you shouldn't. If anything happens to Qin'er, even if she loses a single hair, I will make you wish you were dead and condemn you to eternal hell."
"Why...why don't you believe me..."
Nan Lingqin listened to the extremely clear conversation, her feelings complicated.
In other words, Yuwen Yao did help Xue Ningshuang after all, which is why she became so powerful.
"well!"
Suddenly, Nan Lingqin seemed to hear a sigh beside her, gentle and kind, the same voice she had heard just now.
"..." Zhao Yunxi was speechless, and could only stare at the darkness around her, her eyes darting around.
The voice was close to his ear again, "Don't struggle or exert any force, just watch slowly."
"If you still try to argue even when you're about to die, then you can't be spared."
At this moment, Yuwen Yao's voice was cold, and in the next instant, his palm turned into a claw, and several streams of energy went straight for Xue Ning Shuang's face.
Xue Ningshuang could only watch helplessly, her pupils dilating as she was powerless to resist.
"Bang."
With a deafening roar, the ground split open, and moonlight poured down from above, illuminating everything. Nan Lingqin saw a flash of light, her body soaring through the air, and when she opened her eyes again, she was already lying in Yuwen Yao's arms.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. On the opposite side, not far away, the expected pain did not come. Xue Ningshuang, who thought she was going to die, slowly opened her eyes and looked at everything in front of her. Not far away, the ground cracked open and a hole appeared. The missing Nan Lingqin was in Yuwen Yao's arms.
What... is going on?
"Why is she underground?" Xue Ningshuang was extremely suspicious, but no one paid any attention to her.
Yuwen Yao stared at Nan Lingqin in his arms, his eyes scanning her body inch by inch until he was sure she was unharmed and her breathing was steady. Only then did he truly breathe a sigh of relief and relax, saying, "Thank goodness."
"You're quite clever." Nan Lingqin's bright eyes smiled slightly. "You found me faster than I expected."
"Absolutely."
Across from them, Xue Ningshuang looked at the two of them, seemingly understanding yet even more puzzled.
Both of them fell silent, their gazes fixed on the air.
The moonlight, scattered here and there, fell upon the lush, grassy mountain peak, adding an air of unfathomable mystery.
"Hehehe, as expected of a genius, such a well-concealed and flawless plan was actually seen through?"
Suddenly, a laugh rang out in the air, old yet full of energy, so loud that it could startle anyone who heard it.
Then a figure suddenly landed. It was an old man of about seventy years old, with silver hair and a white face, wearing a black robe and a fixed gaze. He exuded an air of otherworldly elegance and detachment from worldly affairs.
"Girl, are you really set on this man?"
The old man's gaze fell on Nan Lingqin, and he smiled gently and kindly, his voice matching the one he had heard earlier.
Nan Lingqin met the old man's unusually clear gaze and gestured for Yuwen Yao to put her down.
The moment Yuwen Yao found her, she was already able to move, and her whole body felt smooth and comfortable.
Yuwen Yao put her down, and Nan Lingqin stepped forward and respectfully bowed to the old man, saying, "Lingqin greets Grandfather."
Speaking softly, the old man stroked his beard, which was longer than a finger, and laughed heartily, "My granddaughter is even smarter; she actually knew it was me."
Nan Lingqin smiled demurely, "To be able to take away 10,000 troops silently and without a trace, and then take me away after luring away Yuwen Yao, and even control the cloud technique within my body, I think only you, my grandfather, could do that."
The old man stared at Zhao Yunxi with a pleased smile. "You and your mother don't look alike, and you're even more decisive than her, but... you both have terrible taste in men."
