This annoyed the old man in the north courtyard, and he said, "Why are you hiding? Fight back!"

"I know you have always been dissatisfied with me. You have long coveted West City, expanded your territory, annexed treasures, and established your dominant position." An Yan said these words lightly.

The old man in the north yard stopped for a moment, he looked at the old man outside and said, "This old guy really doesn't know how to judge people. He can't beat me and he refuses to keep his promise to give me West City. Instead, he gives it to you, a little girl, with both hands. Then let me see your real skills." After saying that, he swung the whip towards An Yan.

The long whip flashed a fiery red.

An Yan turned sideways and moved lightly to the other side. She took out an extremely thin long needle from her clothes. She quickly went behind the old man and was about to stab him when he discovered her.

The old man immediately jumped above An Yan and swung the whip at her with such force that cracks appeared on the ground. Even the energy network was shaken, making the people outside nervous.

The old man outside the network said angrily: "Old man from the North Courtyard, why don't you withdraw the border? Anyone who hurts my city lord should be killed!"

"An Yan, you must be very careful!" Li Rongsen was extremely anxious, and he only hated his limited ability and that he was completely unable to help An Yan.

"Today we will decide the winner, and only the winner can leave this world." The old man in the North Courtyard's tone was extremely resolute, and it seemed that he would not change his mind.

This is a battle for his dignity, and he will not allow anyone to interfere.

"Since you are so determined, I will fight you to the end, so that you can lose willingly." An Yan did not intend to give in any further.

The two men began to wrestle again, neither of them giving in, and each of them fought with great ferocity.

"Is there really no way to break through the boundary?" Li Rongsen was extremely anxious. He felt that the old man had tried his best and was afraid that An Yan would suffer.

Yan Qingqiu said: "I have confidence in An Yan. I don't believe she can be defeated so easily."

The old man didn't say anything, but his expression showed worry.

An Yan had no intention of wasting time with the old man from the North Courtyard and had already planned to end it quickly.

She first gathered her energy on her right hand, and then saw purple energy swirling around her right hand. Then she stopped dodging the fire whip and directly caught the whip with her hand.

This startled Li Rongsen, and he saw the purple on An Yan's right hand begin to spread to the long whip of red fire, melting the original red into purple. This surprised the old man in the North Courtyard, and he said, "You can actually control this fire whip."

"There is nothing I can't do." An Yan said as she pulled the whip over, causing the old man to pounce on her as well. She then turned around and wrapped the whip around the old man's body.

The old man was not a pushover. He immediately put down his whip, took out a small object from his sleeve, and swung it, turning it into two big hammers. He said, "I'm not going to lose that easily."

An Yan ignored him. The red whip had turned into a purple whip. She swung it hard onto the net, and a big crack appeared in an instant. The energy in the net flew out.

It attacked Li Rongsen and the others like a hurricane, but fortunately the old man blocked it with a talisman. He heard him say again: "City Lord, seal him!"

The old man in the north yard did not have time to cultivate his realm, so he just used the sledgehammer to hit An Yan, but missed, and fell heavily to the ground.

An Yan kicked the old man in the north courtyard in the chest, then stood on the sledgehammer, watched him fall to the ground with cold eyes, spit out a mouthful of blood, and asked him: "Do you want to fight again?"

The old man in the north yard felt a pain in his chest, so painful that he couldn't speak. After a long while, he said, "You won. You can kill or scratch it as you like."

"I don't want your life, nor do I want your little daughter's life. I have never thought of interfering in the family affairs of your North Courtyard. But Beichen is going too far. She was the one who wanted to rob people from West City first, so naturally you can't blame me for retaliating against her." An Yan stated her position coldly.

The old man in the north yard started to cough, then slowly stood up from the ground and said, "How is my little daughter?"

Yan Qingqiu interrupted and said, "It won't die, but it will take some time to recover."

At this time, Beichen's voice was heard from inside the house: "Dad! Father!"

The old man from the north yard immediately ran in to see her.

The old man came up to An Yan and said, "City Lord, let me see your hand."

"There's nothing to see." An Yan clenched her fists and refused.

But Li Rongsen didn't care about that. He quickly grabbed An Yan's wrist and tried to pry her fist open, but he couldn't pry it open at all. He raised his eyes to look into her eyes.

An Yan felt embarrassed when he looked at her. She sighed softly and then slowly opened her fist.

Li Rongsen found that her palms were all burned and bloody. He couldn't help feeling sad, and his eyes even turned red. He immediately pulled her back to his yard, while Yan Qingqiu said, "I'll go and make medicine right away, right away, very quickly." After saying that, he turned and left.

"Don't make such a fuss, it's just a minor injury. I can handle it, you don't have to worry." An Yan was dragged into the room by Li Rongsen, and she couldn't see his expression clearly. He just rushed forward without even looking back.

Finally, both of them walked into the house. Li Rongsen didn't look back. He just looked for something on the shelf and wiped his face a few times. This made An Yan very confused. She hurried over to see him and asked, "What's wrong with you? The ointment is not on the shelf over there."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Nothing, I'm just looking for medicine." Li Rongsen answered her while taking several bottles down from the shelf.

"Those are not for treating burns. The medicine box is on the table by the window." An Yan had to remind him.

Li Rongsen hurried over to get the medicine box. He was confused and at a loss as to what to do.

An Yan felt something was wrong, so she stood in front of him and noticed something sparkling in his eyes. She asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you crying?"

Li Rongsen quickly denied it and said, "How is that possible? I'm a grown man."

"It's nothing, just a small wound. It will heal in a few days." Although An Yan said this, she felt inexplicably touched in her heart.

Li Rongsen came over with the medicine and motioned An Yan to sit down.

An Yan sat down obediently, stretched out her right hand and handed it to him, saying: "I usually see you as a man, why are you scared when you see the burns? Don't be so timid, it's just a small matter."

"Yeah, I fainted." Li Rongsen followed her words, so that she wouldn't really see through that he was just feeling sorry for her. It would be embarrassing to say it to others. He was really worried that something had happened to her.

An Yan nodded, showing her understanding, and said, "Don't be afraid, I will treat it for you in the future."

"As long as you don't get hurt again, you can cure my disease." Li Rongsen said seriously.

"Today is a special situation. I can't lose to him in a fight, otherwise where is my dignity?" It was the first time that An Yan joked with Li Rongsen like this, as if just to make him happy.

Li Rongsen raised his eyes to look at An Yan. He really wanted to let her know his feelings. He thought that maybe today was a good opportunity to ask her what she thought of him.

But he hesitated again. What if she didn't have this idea? How would they get along in the future? It would definitely be awkward. They wouldn't even be able to be ordinary friends, and even the days like now would be gone.

He cherished it so much that he dared not take a step forward.

But he always had to take a step forward. He became more and more greedy and wanted to be different from others.
