Song Ci held onto Gan Qiongying tightly, refusing to let go of her arm. Gan Qiongying was anxious to get Wen Xueling back, and no matter how much she pinched or hit him, he wouldn't let go, and his expression didn't change at all.
In the story, Song Ci is depicted as having a beautiful face and a graceful, supple figure, making him a quintessential melancholic young man.
He was very close to Gan Qiongying at this moment. It was the first time Gan Qiongying had seen his appearance so clearly. He was indeed a beautiful woman with exquisite features and a delicate air about him. If he dressed up as a woman, it would be difficult to tell his gender. His skin was even more delicate and fair than Gan Qiongying's.
But that's not the point!
The main question is, is Zhong Li really crazy? Why is Song Ci forced to look at the female lead instead of letting Song Ci look at her?!
Seeing Wen Xueling crying like a fool next to the black bear, she was so anxious that she pinched Song Ci's waist and twisted it hard!
At this moment, she couldn't very well summon her shadow guards to deal with Song Ci. In front of everyone, Gan Qiongying wished she could turn all seventeen shadow guards into eyeballs and stuff them into her own eye sockets. There was absolutely no way she would let outsiders see them.
So she had to do it herself. After twisting it twice, Song Ci finally felt the pain and let go of Gan Qiongying's arm.
Gan Qiongying was about to run away when Song Ci grabbed her arms with one hand around her shoulder and wrapped the other around her waist, holding her firmly in place.
“Princess, please calm down. It’s dangerous in there. Please stay here.” Song Ci’s voice was flat.
In the story, he is like this, only obeying Zhongli Zhengzhen's orders, frequently offending Wen Xueling, and being punished by Wen Xueling several times. But no matter how severe the punishment, as long as Zhongli Zhengzhen gives the order, he will still disregard rank and etiquette and rely on his superb martial arts skills to fly around in the sky with Wen Xueling.
However, one could hear a hint of pain in Song Ci's tone at this moment, after all, Gan Qiongying had already stepped on his foot and was grinding it with all her might.
Gan Qiongying looked at the scene with great anxiety. She never expected things to develop like this.
What about the female lead's aura?
What about the male protagonists' admiration and care?
How did a fight lead to this turn of events?
And where are Wen Xueling's guards? They've all vanished!
Wen Xueling was so frightened that her face turned pale. She buried her head deeply and dared not raise it at all.
As for Wen Xueling's guards... Wen Xueling's order today is that they are not allowed to follow her closely.
Because she had previously wanted to get close to Princess Huian and try to visit Princess Huian's home to find out some information about Princess Huian's youngest daughter's husband, the Governor of Qinzhou.
This was a task assigned to Wen Xueling by the King of Jingxi. All the guards she was accompanied by were her father's personal guards. Fearing that this would arouse the suspicion of the Grand Princess Huian, Wen Xueling naturally sent them all far away.
Before she could even exchange a few words, Gan Qiongying berated her, and unable to refute her, she ran away crying in anger.
As a result, Wen Xueling is now squatting alone and helpless next to the black bear.
The original guards of Haoyue Manor were simply not enough. Several times when guards went into battle, they were injured by the two bloodthirsty men in the arena.
Princess Hui'an is not here now, nor is the steward of Haoyue Manor. Without orders, who would rush forward to their death to save a princess they don't even know?
Gan Qiongying frowned, glanced around, and then, in a panic, jerked her head back, hitting Song Ci squarely on the nose.
That was quite a force; whether it's a person or an animal, anyone whose nose is hit will temporarily lose their strength.
Gan Qiongying finally broke free and immediately pushed her way through the crowd. It was her fault, and she had to deal with it.
Just as she was about to squeeze through the gap, she saw one person emerge from among the group of scions of prominent families who were watching.
The man was tall and had long legs. He walked quickly toward Wen Xueling next to the big black bear, but he was limping.
The man kept his head down, his purpose clear. He stepped forward and grabbed Wen Xueling, but Wen Xueling was terrified and completely lost the ability to move.
Wen Xueling was so excited when she saw the person that she couldn't speak. Her legs were weak and she couldn't muster any strength. The person changed from helping her up to dragging her away, and Wen Xueling could only let herself be dragged away.
Gan Qiongying stopped in her tracks, unable to believe her eyes. The limping figure looked very familiar. She blinked hard and confirmed it again, only to find that it was Li Hua!
Why wasn't it the male protagonists who rushed out, but Li Hua instead?
Gan Qiongying watched as Li Hua quickly led Wen Xueling out of the room. Wen Xueling was crying with her face covered in mud and was practically clinging to Li Hua. Even after Li Hua handed her over to two maids, Wen Xueling still clung to Li Hua's clothes.
At this moment, Li Hua seemed to sense something, and turned back to look at Gan Qiongying, passing over the noisy crowd and the leaping firelight around the arena.
After the two looked at each other, Li Hua immediately waved to her. Gan Qunying couldn't see his expression from this distance, but Gan Qiongying quickly understood what Li Hua meant.
Li Hua told her to leave immediately and not to go any further.
Gan Qiongying nodded vigorously, a smile appearing on her face.
Seeing Gan Qiongying stop, Li Hua nodded to her. Ever since the young masters on the field got into a melee, he had been watching Gan Qiongying, worried that they might accidentally hurt her.
Just now, he saw Gan Qiongying about to enter the arena to save people. Swords and blades have no eyes, let alone two people who are already fighting to the death. It is inevitable that she, a woman, will get hurt if she goes to save people. Li Hua did not have time to think and stumbled into the arena.
Gan Qiongying was reluctant to look away, her gaze fixed on Li Hua, her smile growing wider and wider. When Song Ci pulled her back again, Gan Qiongying wasn't so angry anymore.
She was pulled out of the crowd by Song Ci, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
Li Hua usually dislikes having his leg defect visible, but just now, in order to avoid putting himself in danger, he didn't care that his defect would be seen and resolutely rushed into the field.
Gan Qiongying felt a ticklish sensation in her heart, as if a feather had brushed against it.
Wen Xueling was so frightened that her whole body went limp. She fell into the arms of her maid and looked up at Li Hua. At that moment, in her eyes, Li Hua seemed to be a god who had descended from the sky.
She cried so hard she was almost sobbing. From birth, she had always been pampered and protected. Wen Xueling had never lacked guards. Never before had she faced danger so directly, feeling herself on the edge of life and death.
She never expected that the person who would come to her rescue in the end would be... Princess Duanrong's husband.
When Wen Xueling saw him turn to leave, she subconsciously reached out and tugged at his clothes again.
Li Hua took a step back, lowered his head to look at Wen Xueling. In the flickering firelight, his gaze was cold, but the flames reflected in his eyes gave Wen Xueling the illusion of warmth.
Meanwhile, Gan Qiongying, who had been holding her breath, finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to be pulled out of the scene by Song Ci. She struggled to shake him off, her eyes wide with anger, and said, "Is Zhongli Zheng really out of his mind? Or kicked by a donkey?"
Why should Song Ci be the one watching Wen Xueling if she's not allowed to?
Neuropathy!
