Chapter 148
When Nan Yan heard Zhao Xiuyan's gentle and soothing voice, she seemed to finally regain consciousness and her emotions slowly stabilized.
Then she slowly raised her head. Her eyes, which had just been crying, were especially moist, as if they were flooded with spring water. Her eye circles were red, and the tails of her eyes seemed to be stained with a layer of peach-pink rouge.
Murong Tuo's face was flushed red and he was filled with anger, but when he looked down and saw Nan Yan like this, his expression paused for a moment, and he suddenly couldn't vent his anger no matter how angry he was.
He looked at this person with a slightly strange look in his eyes, wondering in his heart, how come this woman even cries differently from others? She cries so beautifully.
Nan Yan seemed to have just reacted. When she looked up at the people, her eyes were filled with panic and fear, especially when she saw Murong Tuo in her arms——
Oh, isn't this her bad-tempered little enemy junior brother?
His expression suddenly changed, and I don't know what he thought of, but his body instantly became stiff.
When she came to her senses, she almost subconsciously reached out and pushed the man away, then leaned back, with her back pressed tightly into Zhao Xiuyan's arms.
Very good, after hugging your junior brother, hug your senior brother.
Well, it's fair to treat everyone equally.
Feeling the warm body temperature, her hands subconsciously grabbed his clothes, and it was obvious that she trusted and relied on the person behind her more. She stared at the person in front of her with nervous and panic eyes, and began to put the blame on him.
"Why you? Why are you holding me? Where is my husband?"
The series of questions made Murong Tuo dizzy. He was pushed backwards by her without any preparation and fell to the ground accidentally, sitting on the protruding stone.
It felt very uncomfortable. I wanted to touch it but was too embarrassed to do so. My expression instantly became distorted.
Murong Tuo gritted his teeth in anger, his face flushed red. He raised his head and glared at her. Not only did this woman throw things away after use, but she also turned the tables on him. He glared at her angrily, looking like a beautiful, angry and irritable leopard.
"Look carefully, it was you who threw me over without a care, and I couldn't pull her away no matter how hard I tried. You still have the nerve to blame me, it's clearly you who took advantage of me this time, I've never been hugged like this by a married woman in my life!"
Young Master Murong felt that this person not only violated his innocence, but she even tried to violate the innocence of his senior brother. Especially when he saw that woman clinging to his senior brother's arms so dependently and trustingly, a nameless anger instantly rose from his heart.
"Witch, stay away from my brother. His injuries haven't healed yet. If you want to harm someone, just harm me and not my brother..."
Before he finished speaking, he reached out to her, trying to pull the person out of his senior brother's arms.
Nan Yan looked at the finger he stretched out to her, and she didn't know what scene she was thinking of. Her face suddenly turned pale. She turned her head and her head hit Zhao Xiuyan's chest behind her.
He only heard a muffled groan from the other party, and then he buried his head in his chest, his body trembling slightly.
"Don't, don't touch me, don't pull my clothes..."
She had held you with great difficulty, how could she let you tear her apart so easily?
Besides, why should old friends be so angry when meeting each other? She walked a long distance to find this place.
The wound on Zhao Xiuyan's chest was a little painful.
But he still subconsciously reached out and pressed her back, then raised his other hand to block the hand extended by his junior brother.
He exhaled a breath of foul air, frowned slightly, looked at his junior brother with a slightly reproachful look, and then said in a calm and gentle tone, "Junior brother, don't be like this. She just got frightened and can't stand the stimulation. Don't scare her."
Murong Tuo looked at Nan Yan who was being held in his arms by his senior brother, and then looked at his fingers being held down. He suddenly felt strange. He thought that his senior brother was too gentle in his attitude towards this demon... woman? She had nothing to do with them, so why was he so nice to her?
Murong Tuo felt depressed for a moment, but then he thought about his senior brother's character. His senior brother has always been gentle and steady, not otentatious. He is also highly regarded by the elders among his fellow disciples. Among so many people, his senior brother has the best relationship with him. There should be no other reason for such a gentle and jade-like person.
Murong Tuo took a deep breath and suppressed some unnecessary anger deep in his heart. He must have been overthinking it.
I don't know why, but whenever it comes to matters involving this woman, he can easily lose control of his emotions and gets very angry with her every time.
Maybe it was because of this demon... women are naturally cunning, and he was afraid that his senior brother would be bullied, so he was so cautious.
However, seeing the man's confused and collapsed emotions, Murong Tuo snorted and stopped. He was shaking like a ghost. Why were you so afraid of what he might do? Did he look scary?
As I thought about it, I felt a little irritated. It must be a ghost. How could I meet this woman in such a haunted place? Could this be the legendary evil fate?
Seeing that it was getting late, the two men couldn't just leave her here, otherwise the girl they had just rescued would be targeted again in a short time.
Finally, the two of them took Nan Yan to a small inn not far ahead. The inn was very small and shabby. To say it was simple was an exaggeration. There were cobwebs on the beams. It could only be said that it was not much better than the wild. At most, it could only provide a temporary resting place for people.
This is normal. After all, it is in the wilderness, quite a distance from the town. The wanderers in the world have never been very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Only some young masters of wealthy families have high requirements for these.
Sure enough, as soon as Murong Tuo entered the inn, the disgust in his eyes was almost written on his forehead. There were actually quite a few people living in this shabby inn, with only two empty rooms left.
The room was quite clean. At least the bedding was semi-new and smelled as if it had been washed. There were many knife marks and scratches on the table. It seemed that people often fought and made trouble here. But this was normal. Which inn has not experienced such things? Fortunately, the room was tidied up relatively neatly.
Originally there were two rooms, and Nan Yan, as a woman, naturally lived in one, and the other two could squeeze into one room for one night. But the frightened woman kept grabbing his senior brother's clothes, her face was pale, and she exuded extreme uneasiness from head to toe. In this situation, leaving her alone in such a shabby inn, Murong Tuo was worried that she would be scared to death by the howling of outside wolves at night.
Murong Tuo looked at the woman clinging to his senior brother, and he felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at her. He didn't know where this discomfort came from. It was really strange.
Zhao Xiuyan took Nan Yan in one hand and sent her directly to the innermost room. He carried her to the edge of the bed and sat her down. Then he patted her back and comforted her. "Okay, don't be afraid. No one will hurt you again. You stay in this guest room. My junior brother and I will stay in the room next to it. We will come here immediately if there is any noise at night. No matter what happened today, you will be fine after a night's rest. We will take you back tomorrow, okay?"
He held the back of her hand and patted it twice, indicating that she could let go.
But the person in front of her was obviously uneasy. She pursed her lips, her eyes slightly red, and her hands tightly grasped his lapels on both sides, constantly pulling him towards her.
"Don't go, don't go, don't leave me..."
She shook her head and looked like she was refusing to listen.
Zhao Xiuyan sighed softly, obviously noticing the man's panic. Perhaps what happened this afternoon really scared her, so she became so dependent on him.
This is a bit of a headache.
He thought about it, turned his head and looked at the environment in the room, then hesitated for a moment and whispered, "How about this? You sleep here, and I will sit on the chair over there to watch over you tonight. I promise not to leave you, and I won't let anyone bully you. Is this okay?"
As he spoke, he pointed towards a table and chairs not far away. It was a square table with a few stools around it. It looked extremely simple.
Hearing this, Nan Yan also looked in the direction of his finger, then turned back to look at him, hesitating for a moment before saying, "You...really not leaving?"
Zhao Xiuyan was slightly startled by such a look, but he lowered his head and laughed after hearing it. Then he helped her sit on the bed and pulled the quilt over her. "Well, I'll stay here tonight, you can sleep well."
Perhaps it was because this man's tone was too gentle and contained a convincing ability, Nan Yan finally gently loosened her fingers that had been tugging at his clothes.
Then she stepped back, wrapped the quilt tightly, and slowly lay down. However, her watery eyes were still staring at him, as if as long as this man left, she would follow him without caring about anything.
Originally Murong Tuo was standing at the door outside. He was about to occupy another empty room and have a good sleep, but he heard the movement in the house and the conversation between the two people.
I immediately gave up. What would happen if these two people lived in the same room?
Without thinking, he rushed over and sat down on the broken bench, staring at the person on the bed with sharp eyes, "No, if you two live in the same room, I have to keep an eye on her too, so that you won't be bullied by her in the middle of the night because you are too gentle."
Zhao Xiuyan frowned slightly, turned around and looked at his junior brother who was stubborn and unwilling to listen to advice, and felt annoyed for no reason.
He pinched his fingertips hard and felt a dull pain on the wound on his chest. His breathing paused for a moment, and then he suddenly thought of something and his brows relaxed slightly.
There are many risks in staying in a hotel at night. He is seriously injured now and has been holding on until now. He doesn't know what will happen at night. With a junior brother looking after him, the risk should be smaller.
So he nodded to his junior fellow apprentice, with a calm look that didn't seem to show anything unusual. "If you want to watch, then watch. But there's only one thing. Don't scare me anymore."
After saying that, he glanced at the woman who was lying on the bed and refused to close her eyes. His tone became a little calmer and gentler. "Go to sleep peacefully, young lady. With me and my junior brother watching over you, there won't be any danger at night."
After saying that, Ye Ye thought about the table and chair in front of him again, so he pulled out the chair and sat down. There was only a candle lit in the room, and some hot water that the waiter had brought over earlier. The two of them casually cleaned the wounds on their bodies. Their movements were very gentle, and they had cleaned the wounds in a few moments.
The night was gradually getting darker.
The light in the room was dim, and the candle on the table was burning dimmer and dimmer.
Zhao Xiuyan couldn't sleep at first. He was annoyed by the breathing sounds on the opposite side. He raised his eyes and glanced at his junior brother who had fallen asleep at some point.
At first he supported his head with his hands, and later he simply laid his entire head on the table, looking a very inelegant sleeping posture.
It's really hard to put it into words.
Zhao Xiuyan felt disgusted, so he simply picked up the coat on the screen and threw it over, covering the person with it. After doing all this, his eyes unconsciously fell on the woman who was sleeping uneasily on the bed.
A question slowly emerged in my mind: why was she here? And why had she fallen to such a state?
If I hadn't met them, it would be hard to imagine what would happen today. Thinking about what just happened...
Thinking of those things, Zhao Xiuyan's brows never relaxed, his long eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and there was a faint gloomy air between his jade-like eyebrows, and a hint of coldness gradually emerged in his clear and gentle eyes.
He unconsciously tightened the cup in his hand, and his slightly pale fingertips pinched the rim of the cup. When his emotions finally calmed down, his brows relaxed and he let out a breath. "Forget it, I'll ask about these things tomorrow. After all, it's not a big deal. Fortunately, they met in time."
When Nan Yan woke up the next day, she saw a handsome face magnified in front of her. The man stretched out his hand to touch her face. Oh my goodness, what a great opportunity! Without thinking, she raised her hand and slapped him.
The slap was so solid that the man turned his head away, and even his gorgeous white face was instantly left with a deep slap mark. At first he didn't react and just froze in there.
When he recovered, he subconsciously touched his aching face, then he became furious, turned around and glared at her fiercely, gnashing his teeth and asking:
"Witch, why did you hit me again?"
Nan Yan actually reacted, but she had to be at fault after hitting someone, so she could only pretend to be more wronged and terrified than him and shrank back into bed, wrapping herself tightly in the quilt in panic, her teeth seemed to be trembling, "Why did you get so close to me? You even touched me, it was obviously you who was not behaving properly, I was scared, and that's why I accidentally hit you..."
Murong Tuo's face turned slightly red, and his tone became even more ferocious in anxiety, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who was unruly? Who touched you? You are simply making excuses!"
While the two were arguing, Zhao Xiuyan, who was originally sleeping with his head resting on the chair, was finally awakened by the noise.
He went to bed very late last night. He felt a little uncomfortable with the wounds on his body, and he was also very upset, so he didn't fall asleep until dawn. But when he woke up early in the morning, he saw his junior brother lying on the side of the bed, staring at the girl. It looked like he was bullying her.
Zhao Xiuyan's expression instantly turned cold. He stepped forward and grabbed his junior fellow apprentice by the collar, pulling him up, and scolded him in a cold voice, "Murong Tuo, what are you doing?"
Murong Tuo was so angry at the attitude of these two people who shared the same hatred for the enemy that he almost bit his teeth to pieces. He turned around and waved away his brother's hand, shouting at him, "Brother, are you still my brother? What can I do to her? It was obviously this woman who kept shouting for water in her dream. I was woken up by her, so I kindly poured her a glass of water. Who do you think I am?"
"What do you think I'm going to do to her?"
"Also, Senior Brother, when did you become like this? You protect her so much, and yet you scold me without knowing the truth. Have you forgotten that this woman is the wife of that devil, and Sister Pianpian is still in the hands of that devil!"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiuyan was slightly stunned, as if he felt a little uncomfortable about his misunderstanding of his junior brother's behavior. He turned around, loosened his hand, and whispered:
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood."
Nan Yan seemed to have just reacted. Seeing the slap mark on the man's face, she felt a little uncomfortable and apologized dryly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..."
But Murong Tuo was furious at the moment, and had no intention of letting it go. How could he be easy? His kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and the woman slapped him. If he continued to endure this situation, would he still be the reckless young master of the Murong family? He was simply furious!
Especially this woman, it's like she saw a ghost!
When it comes to him, he either beats or scolds him. It has only been a short time and he has already slapped him several times. But when it comes to his senior brother, he is gentle and considerate, full of dependence. No one can tolerate this kind of situation.
But he didn't know how to deal with this emotion, so he said to Nan Yan beside him in a stern tone, "Is it enough to just say sorry? How many times have you slapped me?"
"If you ask me, you, woman, might have done it on purpose to harm me. You were the one who leaked the previous information, otherwise that devil wouldn't have noticed it so quickly, and wouldn't have caught up with me so quickly."
At this point, Murong Tuo paused, then became more and more angry, and felt that what he said made sense. Even his eyes became suspicious. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. He grabbed her wrist and began to question, "Tell me, was it you who leaked the news to that demon...your husband, so he chased after us so quickly?"
Nan Yan thought, this kid's brain works very quickly when he's not doing anything stupid, and he guessed half right by accident, but she would never admit it.
She turned her head, her black hair loosely draped over her shoulders, and her rosy lips were bitten leaving a very obvious red mark.
After hearing these words, Nan Yan's fair face flushed and her chest rose and fell. It was obvious that she was angry at him. "What nonsense are you talking about? What good will this do for me?"
Nan Yan's teeth trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes for a moment. She stared at him with resentment and resentment.
"I finally let you take that woman away, so how could I deliberately tell my husband these things? If that was the case, why did I help you in the first place?"
She did not reveal the news directly, but deliberately left more clues, so she was inexplicably arrested and brought back the day after they left.
Seeing her like this, Murong Tuo's anger inexplicably subsided by more than half, leaving only a little bit of anger and annoyance. He stubbornly retorted unwillingly, "Even if you didn't leak the news, it has nothing to do with you. Your good husband not only kidnapped Sister Pianpian, but also injured my senior brother. This is an ironclad fact!"
In the end, he became more and more angry, and in a fit of rage he said nonsense, "Since you are in our hands now, we can just use you to exchange for Sister Pianpian, and then we can completely finish the job."
Hearing this, Nan Yan's eyes instantly turned red.
As if she couldn't hold it in any longer, the continuous blows finally made her burst into tears.
She subconsciously picked up the pillow behind her and threw it at the man. Tears welled up in her eyes and she said in a trembling voice, "You are ungrateful and despicable."
She looked at the man in front of her with humiliation, her body trembling slightly with anger, "You still call yourselves a noble and upright sect, but this is how you repay kindness with enmity? Not only did I help you, I also helped you rescue your senior brother's fiancée, but now, you actually want to use me to exchange for your sweetheart, you are simply shameless!"
Murong Tuo's face turned red after being scolded. He instantly became angry and held her wrist tighter. "What nonsense are you talking about? What sweetheart? She is my senior brother's fiancée. What's wrong with me exchanging you for her?"
"Don't forget that we saved you yesterday, too. This should be considered as a compensation for your help to us in the past."
Murong Tuo stared at her with gritted teeth, "If we hadn't shown up in time yesterday afternoon, do you think you would still be alive now? Why would a young lady run around outside instead of staying at home embroidering and reading? Do you think you are a heroine?"
When she said this, Nan Yan's expression froze for a moment, and her face turned pale. She seemed to have thought of something sad, and her tears fell faster.
"I……"
She opened her mouth, but no words came out.
"Also, do you know what your good husband has done to us these days? The husband's debts must be paid by the wife. Didn't you see how pale my brother's face is? He still looks like he's dying? Those injuries were caused by your husband!"
Having said that, you slander your senior brother like this in front of him, aren’t you afraid that he will hold it against you?
When Nan Yan heard this, her gaze subconsciously fell on Zhao Xiuyan who was standing beside her. He looked pale, with no trace of blood on his lips, and his brows were slightly furrowed. No one knew what he was thinking.
When his eyes met hers, he was stunned for a moment.
Then he relaxed his brows, shook his head slightly at her, and was about to say, "Don't worry, I'm fine..."
As a result, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the person next to him, and Murong Tuo snorted twice.
Having said that, I actually no longer had any anger in my heart, I just kept on being stubborn and refused to give in.
"Besides, your good husband has been sending people to hunt us down until now, but we saved you and took care of you regardless of the past. Who is more shameless? What's more, you are a demon from the evil sect, and we are righteous people. We are originally opposed to each other, so what morality is there to talk about?"
As he finished speaking, his voice became lower and lower under his senior brother's cold, reproachful gaze.
Especially when he saw the woman in front of him with her head down and crying, he suddenly felt regretful and inexplicably irritated. He also knew that what he said this time was a bit too much.
But I don’t know why, whenever I meet this woman, my emotions get out of control easily, especially when I see her treating my senior brothers differently.
Besides, what he said seems to be correct, right?
They are people with opposing positions.
Murong Tuo looked at the depressed man, and a feeling of upset suddenly surged in his heart. He stared at the man, wondering whether he should say sorry to him.
After all, he is a man, and bullying a woman is really unkind.
And he actually made her cry again. Even though it wasn't intentional, it seemed like he had been making her cry non-stop since they first met.
This situation is really outrageous.
Murong Tuo's face showed that tangled and annoyed expression again. He grabbed his head and then let go of the hand that had been pinching her wrist bone. As a result, as soon as he let go, the person opposite him subconsciously reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
Murong Tuo felt a little strange, he looked down at her, she raised her head slightly, her face was so pale that it seemed transparent, tears were dripping down her face, her whole body exuded a weak and pitiful aura, Murong Tuo felt even more embarrassed.
He opened his mouth but didn't say a word.
Then I heard the man below speak in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to slap you just now. You saved me, and I was ungrateful and hit you..."
"You're right. What my husband did... was really too much. If you hadn't saved me yesterday, I would have died. It's not that you are ungrateful, it's obviously my fault. Why don't you exchange me for your senior brother's fiancée..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Yan's tear slid down her face and landed directly on Murong Tuo's finger.
Murong Tuo's burned fingers curled up and he pulled his hand away subconsciously. He now realized that what he said was really too much.
He felt extremely embarrassed and his fair face turned slightly red. He felt as if he was bullying such a weak woman who was powerless.
An inexplicable feeling of guilt and regret welled up in my heart.
He really didn't expect her to say such a thing. In fact, he just said it casually and didn't really want to do it at all. But now, the words have been said, and this person seems to take it seriously.
This made Murong Tuo not know what to do for a moment.
He opened his mouth anxiously and scratched his hair, but found that he could not utter a word. So he subconsciously turned his head and looked at his senior brother as if for help.
Zhao Xiuyan frowned unconsciously and glanced at him, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
Especially when I saw the girl opposite me crying silently with her head down, I felt for the first time that this outspoken junior brother was a troublesome and I really shouldn't have brought him out with me.
Evil words are like sharp swords that hurt people without any form of damage.
It is true that people will speak without thinking when they are impulsive and irritable, but don’t they know what to say and what not to say?
Zhao Xiuyan let out a light breath, rummaged in his arms for a long time before finding a handkerchief stained with a trace of blood, which was not too dirty. He was about to wipe her tears, but suddenly he thought of something, paused, and just passed it over.
Nan Yan pursed her lips, raised her eyes and looked at him. There seemed to be some hesitation in her eyes, but in the end she reached out and took it.
Zhao Xiuyan sat directly opposite her, looking at her, his slightly flat voice revealing a bit of sincerity, "I'm sorry, my junior brother never thinks before speaking. He is impulsive and irritable, and always says whatever he wants, but in fact he doesn't have much ill will in his heart, and he won't really use you as a bargaining chip."
After he said this, he let out a breath, as calm and gentle as ever.
"Don't worry. You helped us when you were in Xuancang Sect, and we saved you. Now, this is the fourth time we have met. We should be considered friends."
As he spoke, he suddenly chuckled at Nan Yan, his smile somewhat gentle, "Your husband is your husband, and you are you. We are not that blind, and we will not indiscriminately blame you for what your husband did. Don't cry."
"This time it was because my junior brother was outspoken and said some nonsense to make you angry. If you are still unhappy, you might as well step on him a few more times to vent your anger. Although people like him look powerful, they are actually paper tigers who will collapse if poked. They hate to see girls cry the most."
Hearing this, the fellow apprentice at the side was obviously a little bit unbelievable, his eyes widened and he glared at his senior brother angrily. This was still his senior brother, and he was exposing his past in front of him!
Nan Yan seemed to have thought of the incident of stepping on his finger that day. Perhaps the man's aggrieved look was too funny, so she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
After laughing, I felt a little annoyed. I looked up at the person standing next to me. I felt that the atmosphere I had worked so hard to create was ruined again. It was really troublesome.
On the contrary, Murong Tuo who was standing aside felt a little embarrassed. Looking at the man crying and laughing, he turned his head and hummed softly.
I don't know if he was angry or embarrassed? Anyway, his ears were inexplicably red. Really, why did Senior Brother say all this? Didn't he think he was embarrassed enough?
Zhao Xiuyan saw her laugh and then lower her head with a frown on her face. This expression seemed particularly vivid and he couldn't help but reveal a slight smile on his face for a moment.
Seeing the crystal teardrop hanging on her chin, about to fall but not falling, he subconsciously reached out and wiped it away.
It was this moment that made Nan Yan stunned. She looked up subconsciously and met Zhao Xiuyan's particularly gentle eyes.
The two people's eyes met directly. Nan Yan looked at him with some surprise and discomfort. There seemed to be no other emotion in her eyes except embarrassment and difficulty.
However, Zhao Xiuyan's eyes flashed slightly when he looked at those watery eyes that seemed to contain a pool of spring water.
He turned his face away, his dark eyelashes trembled slightly, and there seemed to be an indescribable strange emotion in his heart.
The distance between the two was actually quite close, so close that Zhao Xiuyan could clearly feel the warm breath she exhaled pause for a moment, and then slowly calmed down.
His eyelashes drooped slightly, and at that moment, he didn't know what was happening to him. Some soft emotions surged in his heart, and he reached out his hand subconsciously.
But he is different from his impulsive junior brother. He shouldn't do such impulsive and intimate things.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiuyan frowned slightly, as if he was helpless about his inexplicable behavior.
Seeing this man with such a strange look,
Nan Yan paused for a moment, a look of discomfort on her face, then she quickly stuffed the handkerchief into his palm, lowered her head and said, "Thank you."
Zhao Xiuyan also felt that his actions were a little too intimate, and his hand was raised in the air awkwardly.
The handkerchief was placed in the palm of his hand, with some softness and moisture still on it. Those were her tears.
Zhao Xiuyan silently put the handkerchief back, looked at her inconspicuously, and after making sure that she had no resistance, he said "hmm" calmly.
Then she changed the subject and asked casually, "By the way, we still don't know why you left Xuancang Sect yesterday and fell to the point where you were bullied by others. Didn't your husband... let someone guard you?"
Nan Yan thought, Shou must have been there, but she left when no one was paying attention, otherwise it would not have been so easy for her to meet you two.
But this is definitely not something you can say.
After hearing his question, Nan Yan's face froze a little, then she turned away and explained dryly, "I just came down the mountain to look for my husband, and I got lost accidentally. You know, I used to stay in the sect, and I rarely go out on weekdays, not even this mountain. So I lost my way while walking, and that's why I was almost..."
"Thank you for yesterday. If you hadn't saved me, I would have died..."
She didn't say what came next, but the outcome was obvious to everyone.
Murong Tuo at the side hummed in a strangely gentle tone, probably giving in, "You know the danger, but you still dare to run around everywhere. Do you think it's easy to get along in the underworld? Is it just a game? There are so many evil people like that in this world."
"You ran away by yourself. Isn't your devil husband worried about you?"
Nan Yan was obviously in a low mood when she heard this. She clenched her fingers slightly, and her fingertips turned white from being pinched.
She pursed her lips and said nothing.
Murong Tuo thought that this person was still sulking and refused to pay attention to him, so he snorted, lowered his head and muttered something like "stingy", then turned around and refused to pay attention to her.
However, Zhao Xiuyan, who was sitting opposite her, was more attentive. He seemed to have noticed something. The tone of her voice was a little strange when she spoke, and her expression was not right, not as happy and intimate as usual. Although he didn't know what happened during this period, it should not be something good.
Especially seeing her depressed expression, Zhao Xiuyan lowered his head slightly. Since she refused to tell the truth, he felt embarrassed to ask any more questions.
Just thinking of her identity, Zhao Xiuyan couldn't help but frowned slightly. Since she was Yu Liuyun's wife, would she have to return to Xuancang Sect sooner or later?
…
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room had finally calmed down a lot, Nan Yan finally climbed up from the bed.
She had been frightened yesterday and slept with her clothes on at night. Naturally, she washed up quickly in the morning. Moreover, the men and women who roamed the world were naturally not as particular about etiquette as the nobles. Nan Yan knew the current situation and naturally would not insist on living such a refined life. She would just do whatever was convenient for her, just like these two people.
Zhao Xiuyan went downstairs to get some food. The two of them originally planned to send her back to Xuancang Sect. Nan Yan thought to herself, if they really let them send her back, then she would have wasted a whole day's hard work.
This won't do. We have to find a way to get away with it.
Maybe someone brought a pillow to me because I was sleepy.
Just at this moment, there was a chaotic noise coming from downstairs. Nan Yan saw the group of people besieging through the crack in the door. It was obviously the people from the Xuan Cang Sect who were chasing them again.
A group of people surrounded Zhao Xiuyan below, and another group of people rushed directly towards the second floor.
When they saw Murong Tuo in the house, they naturally picked up their knives and started hacking. These people might be lower-level subordinates in the sect. They had never seen Nan Yan's appearance. When they saw another woman standing in the house, they immediately thought she was an accomplice of these two men.
When the knife came down, not only Nan Yan was stunned, but even Murong Tuo beside her was dumbfounded.
He gritted his teeth and rushed over almost subconsciously, holding the person and rolling on the ground, staring at her with his black eyes, "What's wrong with you? Don't you know how to hide? And, aren't you the leader's wife? How dare these people kill you?"
Nan Yan pursed her lips, and immediately showed a look of wanting to say something but hesitating, with a hint of tears in her eyes, "I..."
Unfortunately, the situation was so critical that she couldn't even finish her words. Murong Tuo held her and rolled on the ground again to avoid the man's knife. Then he pulled her up and jumped down from the second-floor window with her.
"Brother, I will lead those people away."
He glanced at his senior brother with cold eyes, and after confirming that his senior brother should be able to deal with the remaining people alone, he glanced at the woman in his arms who was unable to fight back.
I thought that if this man stayed here, there would be no other possibility except being stabbed.
So he didn't hesitate and directly dragged his people towards the woods on the right, with a group of pursuers following behind him.
