Chapter 257: The Viper in the Dark

Liang Weijiang agreed and sat up with the help of Liang Huanxue.

He has a back injury and cannot lie flat, so he can only lie on his side or sit.

The dinner was very sumptuous, and all of it was Liang Weijiang’s favorite food.

He had been unconscious for the entire afternoon and was already very hungry. When he saw the delicious food, he didn't care about his image and started to eat it with big mouthfuls.

Liang Huanxue sat next to him, picking up food for him from time to time, and reminding him to eat slowly.

Shen Yuefu was very pleased to see this.

After dinner and taking medicine, Liang Weijiang felt a little drowsy.

After all, he had lost a lot of blood today. Although he was awake now, he was still not in good spirits.

Shen Yuefu asked him to go to sleep first and get up and move around tomorrow.

Liang Huanxue also followed Shen Yuefu and left obediently, because she knew that Brother Liang needed to rest.

When I came out of Liang Weijiang's room, it was already completely dark.

Lanterns have been lit in the City Lord's Mansion, illuminating everywhere.

The celebration was held on the street near the City Lord's Mansion. The street was already crowded with people and laughter could be heard everywhere.

As soon as Liang Huanxue came out of the City Lord's Mansion, she saw Lin Zixuan standing not far away.

The lights were bright, and Lin Zixuan, dressed in black, stood out in the crowd.

The corners of Liang Huanxue's lips twitched. Although she had agreed to go out and play with Lin Zixuan during the day, she really didn't think about going together.

She turned around and was about to leave, but Lin Zixuan had already seen her and walked over quickly.

Liang Huanxue had to smile: "Big brother, where are we going to play next?"

Lin Zixuan kept it a secret: "You will find out if you follow me."

As he spoke, he took the initiative to grab Liang Huanxue's hand.

The big and the small walked through the crowd and came to a relatively empty place.

At this moment, a high platform has been set up here, and dancers are dancing on the platform.

The surrounding area is filled with various snacks and toys for people to have fun.

It was the first time that Liang Huanxue saw an ancient night market, and her attention was immediately attracted.

However, after looking at it for a while, I didn't see anything special. It was even less fun than the bustling streets.

Liang Huanxue was getting tired and wanted to run away, but Lin Zixuan quickly caught her.

"Why are you in such a hurry? The climax has not yet arrived."

Liang Huanxue sat back patiently. She just wanted to see what this highlight was all about.

Liang Huanxue watched the dancing girl with great interest.

Lin Zixuan was happy to see her, but he soon realized something was wrong.

He was keenly aware that a pair of eyes were fixed on him with murderous intent.

Lin Zixuan's eyes dimmed, but he did not show it. Instead, he calmly grasped the sword at his waist.

He wanted to see who was brave enough to attack him near the City Lord's Mansion.

Liang Huanxue, a martial arts wimp, didn't notice anything unusual; she was immersed in the joy of dancing and even danced along with the crowd.

At this moment, something strange happened.

A flash of cold light flashed and shot straight towards the direction where Lin Zixuan was.

Lin Zixuan reacted very quickly, pulling Liang Huanxue into his arms and at the same time moving sideways to avoid the cold light.

However, the crowd behind him was not spared and immediately burst into wailing.

Liang Huanxue was held in Lin Zixuan's arms and was not injured, but she was also very frightened.

However, after a moment, he calmed down again.

She looked up at Lin Zixuan: "Big brother, what's wrong?"

Lin Zixuan had a sullen face and did not say a word. Instead, he protected Liang Huanxue behind him and looked around vigilantly.

The crowd around was in chaos, with screams and wails coming one after another.

However, the owner of the cold light did not show up.

Lin Zixuan's heart sank, he knew that he was being plotted against today.

The other party was obviously well prepared. They first used this method to confuse people and then took advantage of the opportunity to take action.

He was not afraid of enemies in the open, but he could not guard against such poisonous snakes hiding in the dark.

What's more, he brought Liang Huanxue with him today.

Lin Zixuan pursed his lips, feeling a little regretful.

He shouldn't have brought Liang Huanxue out today.

However, it was too late to regret now, he could only find a way to protect Liang Huanxue and leave here first.

He whispered to Liang Huanxue, "Xiaoxue, don't be afraid, follow me closely."

[Just kidding, at this critical moment of life and death, I would have followed you closely even if you didn’t tell me.]

Liang Huanxue followed Lin Zixuan closely, and she was very careful about her life.

Lin Zixuan's nervousness suddenly disappeared, and he pulled Liang Huanxue into the crowd.

However, the other party obviously did not want to let them go just like that.

Just as they were about to squeeze out of the crowd, another cold light flashed and shot straight at Lin Zixuan's back.

When Lin Zixuan realized something was wrong, it was too late to dodge and he could only subconsciously move to the side to protect Liang Huanxue.

The expected pain did not come. Lin Zixuan turned around and saw a man in black standing behind him, holding a long sword in his hand, blocking the cold light for him.

The man in black was obviously no match for his opponent and was pushed back several steps in an instant.

However, he did not give up, but swung his sword again and rushed towards the opponent.

At the same time, more people rushed out from the surroundings, and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard everywhere.

Obviously, the other party has already taken action.

Seeing this, Lin Zixuan no longer hesitated and drew his sword and rushed towards the opponent.

He wanted to see today who had the guts to attack him.

Liang Huanxue was protected by the crowd and was not injured, but she was still a little frightened. She looked around, trying to find the source of the danger.

However, the other party was obviously well prepared, and even though her eyes were almost wide open, she did not notice anything unusual.

There was no other way; they were totally unprepared and could only passively take the beating.

[Why is it so dangerous even though we are not the protagonists? 】

Liang Huanxue complained and tried to hide in a secluded place.

She looked around, searching for a place to hide.

However, there were panicked crowds all around and there was no place to hide.

At this moment, a cold light flashed again, shooting straight towards her.

Liang Huanxue was startled and subconsciously wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

She could only watch helplessly as the cold light got closer and closer to her, and a feeling of despair welled up in her heart.

However, the expected pain did not come. She only felt her body lighten and was moved to the side by a great force.

At the same time, a muffled groan sounded in her ears.

Liang Huanxue turned around and saw a familiar figure standing behind her.

It’s Chunyu Zhuo.

No one knew when he appeared here, and at this moment he was standing behind her with a long sword in his hand, blocking the cold light for her.

There was a cut on his arm, and blood was flowing down the wound.

Liang Huanxue's heart tightened and she blurted out: "Little male lead."

Chun Yuzhuo turned his head and looked at her, a smile flashing in his eyes.

He did not speak, but swung his sword again and rushed towards the opponent.

At the same time, the sounds of fighting all around gradually died down, and it was obvious that the other side had been dealt with.

Lin Zixuan also dealt with his opponent and turned back to Liang Huanxue.
