Chapter 157
Nan Yan looked at the man with pale lips in front of her, and her mind unconsciously recalled that two days ago, Yu Liuyun suddenly came to see her. He said in a hoarse and trembling voice that he already knew who bullied her, and said that he would help him get revenge, and that a man like Zhao Xiuyan was not worthy of her marrying.
Nan Yan was naturally unwilling, and the two of them entangled for a while. Yu Liuyun refused to give up or leave, and finally he mentioned Zhao Xiuyan's fiancée.
Then I made a promise with her -
He said that if Zhao Xiuyan really cared about you and was willing to give up Lin Pianran for you, he would leave completely from then on and never disturb their peaceful life again. But if he could not let go of his fiancée, he would take her away without hesitation and never let Zhao Xiuyan see her again.
After hearing this, Nan Yan agreed helplessly, and then the current scene happened.
Nan Yan came out of her memories and her thoughts returned to reality. She knew that Yu Liuyun would not sit idly by after finding out who had ruined her innocence.
But no one expected that Yu Liuyun's first move would be so swift and decisive, almost cutting off all the escape routes for the two.
If she was really just a weak woman like the original owner, anyone would feel wronged and lost when seeing the man who was about to marry her, faced with such a choice between two options, finally abandon her and choose her ex, no matter how deep the other party's reasons were.
So after hearing the news brought by Yu Liuyun, Nan Yan's face immediately showed a look of loss and sadness, and tears rolled down her face like beads from a broken string.
Yu Liuyun looked at Nan Yan crying in front of him, and his heart was also bitter. He didn't know if Yan Yan liked Zhao Xiuyan so much now, so she became so painful and sad because of his choice.
His fingers trembled slightly, and he wanted to reach out and hold her in his arms, and wipe her tears for her. However, after he stretched out his hand, he dared not touch her. He really had no power to do anything to her now.
Yu Liuyun's voice became increasingly drier and hoarse, and he coaxed her in a low voice, "Yanyan, please stop crying, okay? Zhao Xiuyan is not worth your tears. People like him... have too heavy a sense of responsibility. He will give up on you for Lin Pianran now, but who knows if he will give up on you for someone else in the future. Don't be sad for him, okay? Let's... go back."
After hearing this herself, Nan Yan's whole body swayed as if she was unsteady. She held on to the table with one hand to steady, and used the other hand to push away his hand that he had subconsciously extended.
She pursed her lips, and her usually rosy lips were now pale, with only a hint of blood between her lips. She raised her eyes slightly, looked straight at him, and suddenly said loudly,
"You don't have to fool me. If he is really such a heartless, irresponsible and selfless man, how could I be with him?"
Yu Liuyun felt pain in his heart, especially when he saw her crying so helplessly and aggrieved, he felt his eyes slightly tearful, "Yes, you know him, you understand his difficulties. Everyone in this world has their own difficulties and reasons, it all depends on their own choices. I know you understand his difficulties, but isn't this what you care about? Otherwise, why are you so sad? Why... do you cry so sadly?"
Hearing this, Nan Yan's tears flowed down her face again. She closed her eyes. Yes, everyone in this world has their own difficulties and reasons. Just as he said, if I can give up on you for this person today, why can't I give up on you for someone else tomorrow?
So, it's one thing to understand this, but it's another thing to feel sad and conflicted about his choice.
However, she only admired Zhao Xiuyan's sense of responsibility. After all, people with too strong a sense of morality will definitely not be able to beat those who have no morals.
In fact, if she were in his position, she would definitely choose to save him. But even if she saved him, she would also have to bear the consequence of losing the other person. Otherwise, how could there be such a good thing in this world that would allow you to have the best of both worlds?
Yu Liuyun looked at her and suddenly whispered, "Yanyan, do you remember? You once asked me this question. If you and Lin Pianran were in danger at the same time, who would I choose to save? My words were never false. No matter what Lin Pianran was experiencing, no matter how critical her situation was, I would definitely choose to see you without hesitation. Yanyan, do you remember?"
After hearing this, Nan Yan couldn't help but raise her eyes again. Her eyes were still red from crying, and she looked even more fragile and pitiful. She looked at him with red eyes, not knowing whether she was blaming him or feeling pain. "Yes, you will choose me without hesitation!"
"But if you don't love me, you will be more cruel than anyone else. You will abandon me without mercy. If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have turned out like this. It's all because of you. Everything is because of you. Why, why did you do this..."
When she said the latter sentence, Nan Yan's emotions suddenly became agitated, and she rushed forward as if she had suffered some shock.
"Yu Liuyun, do you hate me so much? Do you really hate me? I've already hidden far away from you, why, why do you still bother me?"
Her hands tightly grasped his collar, her tears soaking his collar. She didn't even finish her words before she could no longer hold on. Her face turned pale and her body fell backwards, falling into a complete coma.
"...Yanyan, what's wrong with you?"
Yu Liuyun was stunned by this sudden change, his face turned pale, and he subconsciously reached out to hug the person in his arms, carefully protecting her head with his palm.
He hurriedly grabbed the hand that fell limply, and felt the pulse. He was relieved after confirming that the other party had fallen into a coma due to excessive stimulation.
Yu Liuyun hugged the person in his arms tighter and tighter, tears rolling down the corners of his eyes. He knew it was all his fault, it was his mess, his stupidity, that turned everything that was originally good into what it is now, causing the only person in the world who loved him to suffer such pain and blow.
But he really couldn't bear to let go, Yanyan...
In the end, Yu Liuyun took Nan Yan away.
When Zhao Xiuyan finally stumbled back from the moat, the courtyard was empty. The girl who usually sat in the yard waiting for him was gone. The girl who usually jumped up to him and pulled his sleeves and called him "senior brother" whenever he came back was taken away.
Yanyan...
Zhao Xiuyan obviously found it difficult to control his emotions. He coughed violently and felt severe pain in his chest. He staggered from room to room looking for her, but he couldn't find her. He couldn't find Yanyan anywhere. She was really gone. She was really kidnapped.
At that moment, the pain in Zhao Xiuyan's chest became more and more intense. He was filled with panic, fear, and regret. He seemed to be stuck in an impossible dilemma, a chaotic dead end. He struggled and bumped around in it, getting his head broken and bleeding, but he couldn't find any way out.
But what to do? It was clearly his own choice. He chose to save Lin Pianran.
He was the one who let Yanyan go personally...
Looking at the empty courtyard, a feeling of endless despair gradually grew in Zhao Xiuyan's heart. There was no end in sight and he had no way to relieve it.
This despair seemed to reach its peak when he saw the jade lock that symbolized eternal love left on the gravel road in the yard.
Endless regret and pain climbed into Zhao Xiuyan's heart and spread from his limbs to every part of his body. It was as if millions of ants were madly gnawing at his body, making Zhao Xiuyan extremely painful. He didn't know what to do at all.
He was deceived...it was Yu Liuyun who deceived him.
Lin Pianran was fine. He went to save her just to save her life. He just couldn't stand by and watch her being bullied...
But he was deceived from the beginning to the end.
Zhao Xiuyan rushed over tremblingly and picked up the heart-shaped lock that was lost on the ground. It was the first token he gave to Yanyan. He held the jade lock tightly in his palm, and tears instantly rolled down his eyes.
I'm sorry...I'm sorry, it's my fault.
I failed to protect you.
Zhao Xiuyan was in pain and remorse at first, blaming himself for being so stupid and for being deceived, but later he was filled with hatred and despair, and the emotions that he had suppressed in his heart were finally out of control. He was almost driven crazy. It was Yu Liuyun who deceived him, and it was he who took Yanyan away.
Everything that happened now was caused by that madman. It was all Yu Liuyun's fault. He had gone against him time and time again, and he had hurt Yanyan time and time again.
When he wanted to force Pianran to marry him, he ignored the fact that Pianran was already engaged to him and used all means to snatch Pianran away from him, hurt him, imprisoned Pianran, and ruthlessly abandoned Yanyan, leaving her to be trampled and bullied at will. But now he regrets it and madly snatches Yanyan away from him again.
It's him! It's that lunatic.
It was all his fault from the beginning to the end. He harmed everyone and ruined everything that could have been perfect. Yanyan had clearly promised him, they were going to get married soon, and his wedding dress had already been embroidered, but on this last day, everything was ruined by him.
There were traces of vicious bloodshot in Zhao Xiuyan's eyes, and his cool and clear face was completely distorted. He no longer had the calm and rational look he once had. His hands were clenched tightly in his sleeves, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging. He was almost out of control.
He is Yanyan's husband. He is Yanyan's husband. As a husband, how can he watch his beloved wife being taken away and remain indifferent? He can ignore everything in the past, but not Yanyan. Only Yanyan is his. He will not let her go just like that. She will never let him go.
After this day, the peace of Qingzhou City seemed to be completely broken. The news that the Zhao family broke off the engagement with the Lin family and then married a woman from the Demon Sect had caused a great uproar in the city, but somehow, the news was suddenly suppressed.
I heard that the young master of the Zhao family has turned over a new leaf and finally recognized the truth. After understanding the truth, he has completely cut off ties with the evil cult woman. Not only did he cancel the marriage, but he is now also pulling together various forces in the martial arts world, vaguely targeting the Xuan Cang cult.
In just half a month, Zhao Xiuyan became like a sword that had been sharpened by someone, becoming sharper and straighter.
This young master of the Zhao family, who used to have a very gentle and peaceful temperament, now seemed like a different person. He became cold and indifferent, and his behavior became more and more inhumane, especially when dealing with people from the Demon Sect, his methods were even more cruel and ruthless.
If they did not know that this Fifth Master Zhao was a righteous man from a prominent family, those who had seen him kill the evil cult man in the recent martial arts world would have suspected that he was a devil who killed people without blinking an eye.
…
On the other side, the people of Xuancang Sect did not know about these things yet. That day, Yu Liuyun brought the unconscious Nan Yan back to Xuancang Sect, and returned to their home.
But even if he brought her back, it seemed that the two of them could never return to their previous state of being close to nature.
Since returning that day, Nan Yan always liked to sit quietly alone in the yard. The courtyard was still the same as before, and the maids in the house were still the same people as before, with almost no changes. The only thing that was a little ominous was the crabapple tree in the courtyard, which was transplanted from Qingzhou by Yu Liuyun. The crabapple tree was indeed in bloom, and the petals sometimes fell on the newly built swing under the tree, which was really beautiful.
The mottled shadows of the trees reflected golden light, and the fragmented light and shadows swayed back and forth in the wind as the leaves. The petals fell slowly, sometimes falling on Nan Yan's body.
She sat on a stone bench not far away, trying to find a good angle, waiting for Yu Liuyun to come to her. In fact, Nan Yan did not have any great resistance to Yu Liuyun bringing her back.
Besides, she has been taken good care of these days. Especially seeing the arrogant and domineering leader who used to be so arrogant in front of her now being so cautious and humble in front of her, she feels relieved.
But I have to be restrained and not let myself appear to be indifferent to the victim's identity, although that is indeed the case.
She calculated in her mind that in just a few days, this world would almost be over.
So when Yu Liuyun came over, he saw Nan Yan sitting quietly in front of the stone table in the courtyard. No one knew what she was thinking about. Her dark hair was slightly blown by the wind, making her face look even whiter.
She just sat there quietly, her eyes were clear and calm, her eyebrows slightly drooped, and she stared absentmindedly in a direction not far away, as if she was looking at the crabapple tree, or as if she was recalling something through that direction. She seemed to be isolated from the world and from everyone behind her.
Seeing Yanyan's eyes like that, Yu Liuyun's heart tightened. He almost subconsciously took a step forward, fearing that the person in front of him would disappear if he blinked.
During this time, Yu Liuyun had been asking the maid to pay close attention to Nan Yan's movements. He was afraid that she would be too traumatized and would become depressed. However, the news he got was always that the lady refused to say anything, had a poor appetite, and sat quietly in the yard all day.
After learning that Nan Yan was sitting alone in the yard again, Yu Liuyun had no intention of dealing with the affairs of the sect, but in the end he couldn't help but go to see him.
He knew who she was grieving for. She had fallen in love with Zhao Xiuyan, but was sad because of his choice. She said that she didn't care, but she was still sad in her heart. He knew that Yanyan seemed weak, but in fact it was difficult to change her mind once she made up her mind. She understood Zhao Xiuyan's difficulties, but she still felt lost because of him.
Yu Liuyun looked at Yanyan like this, watched her fingers gently caressing the petals, watched her whole body seem to be closed, finally he couldn't help it, took the cloak from the maid, and slowly walked behind her.
Yu Liuyun leaned forward, bent his waist slightly, covered her with the cloak from behind, and moved his upper body closer, as if he wanted to hold her in his arms.
It was obviously just a simple movement, but the moment he approached her, Nan Yan's body suddenly tensed up and stiffened, and she couldn't relax for a long time.
She was resisting his approach.
Yu Liuyun noticed the stiffness of her body, and there seemed to be unstoppable bitterness in his heart. He felt unwilling and desperate. Why did she, who obviously liked him so much in the past, now resist uncontrollably when he approached her slightly?
But he couldn't ignore her wishes and force her to do anything anymore. He couldn't let her suffer any harm or coercion anymore.
Yu Liuyun took a deep breath and slowly let her go. He turned around and saw that her eyelashes were drooping and her face was a little pale. He couldn't help but worry about her and asked softly, "You've been sitting outside for so long. Are you cold? Do you want to go back to the house and lie down for a while?"
When Yu Liuyun said this, he seemed to subconsciously reach out to hold her fingers to test the temperature of her hand. He knew that she had always had a cold body, especially during this period of time, her body temperature would always be lower than usual.
As a result, as soon as he reached out his hand, Nan Yan subconsciously dodged it.
This conscious avoidance caused Yu Liuyun's fingers to freeze for a moment.
For a moment, the atmosphere between the two of them became stagnant.
Yu Liuyun felt as if there was a big hole in his heart, and endless cold wind and chill kept pouring in. The cold wind blew loudly, making his heart feel cold and painful.
Nan Yan seemed to have just realized that something was wrong. She shook her head slightly, as if she was not used to his approach. She only whispered, "I'm fine, don't worry."
The corners of Yu Liuyun's mouth twitched, his fingers stopped stiffly in mid-air, and finally curled up and retracted.
He tried his best to act as if nothing had happened and smiled at her, but the sadness in his heart almost overwhelmed him. How...how could he go back to the past?
He really regretted it. It was his fault. He was messy and selfish and had caused everything to become what it is today. But he really... couldn't let it go anymore.
In the end, Yu Liuyun still took Nan Yan back to the house.
As it was getting dark outside, the wind started to pick up in the yard. The cool evening breeze still felt a bit cool on people's faces. Seeing Nan Yan's face getting paler and paler, Yu Liuyun hesitated for a moment, but still carefully held her hand, and then stayed with Yan Yan in the house for the whole afternoon.
In fact, Yanyan didn't pay much attention to him.
He seldom responded when she spoke, but Yu Liuyun didn't mind. He just looked at her quietly, and he felt satisfied just by looking at her.
When it was time to rest at night, he looked at Nan Yan who was leaning on the edge of the bed and was reluctant to rest. He felt a little sad, but he couldn't help but touch her hair and said softly, "Go to sleep. You have had abdominal pain these days and may not sleep well at night. I just want to warm your stomach. I won't do anything you don't want to do. Don't be afraid, go to sleep."
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan was stunned for a moment.
For a moment, he seemed to think of something that happened in the past. His eyelashes fluttered slightly. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said softly, "Thank you..."
Yu Liuyun hummed softly. He didn't know why the relationship between them had become so estranged, so estranged that she had to thank him when he helped her relieve the pain. But they were obviously husband and wife and should be the closest people in the world.
After getting his assurance, Nan Yan quietly lay down on the bed, then turned sideways and fell asleep with her back to him. After her breathing became completely even, Yu Liuyun carefully turned her over, looked at her slightly frowning face, and then carefully reached out and placed his hand on her abdomen.
At that moment, he felt that the two of them seemed to have returned to the past. Yu Liuyun just looked at her quietly, watching her originally slightly frowned brows slightly relax, and watching her body gradually relax. His other hand slowly reached over, held her fingers, and clasped them tightly, as if those things had never happened between them.
Looking at Nan Yan like this, Yu Liuyun's eyes seemed to be filled with mist uncontrollably.
He closed his eyes, then slowly lowered his head and gave his former wife a light kiss on her forehead, his tears accidentally dripping onto her hair.
Being unable to let go of it is like a thorn stuck in your heart. If you pull it out, it will be extremely painful. If you don't pull it out, let it slowly merge with your skin and flesh, and then you won't feel any pain.
He thought, if this is possible, it would be fine for the two of them to live their lives treating each other with respect. He is willing to accompany her, stay with him, and just watch her quietly for the rest of her life. She will never leave him again.
Unfortunately, things don't go as planned. Sometimes the more you want to do something well, the worse it does. Reality always gives people a fatal blow inadvertently.
Soon, news of the crusade against the Demon Cult finally spread in the martial arts world.
Zhao Xiuyan somehow gathered a number of chivalrous men from the martial arts world to prepare for the attack on the Demon Sect. Most of these people had a lot of grudges with the former Xuancang Sect, and some of the messy new and old grudges were all attributed to the Xuancang Sect leader.
This was probably the first direct confrontation between the two forces. Some time ago, the Xuancang Sect was powerful, but they only engaged in minor conflicts. Yu Liuyun had never engaged in a direct battle with them, so the upright people just put up with it. Moreover, the Xuancang Sect seemed to have behaved itself a lot more during this period of time, and there had been no news of Yu Liuyun causing trouble in the martial arts world for a long time.
But now, someone has completely torn relations with this evil cult. This happened suddenly, but it is inevitable.
In fact, the two forces have been keeping to themselves recently. The upright people do not interfere with the influence of the Demon Cult, and the Demon Cult members also restrain their actions and no longer disturb the righteous people's rest and recuperation. The two forces have been maintaining a certain superficial peace.
But there are also people who stir up trouble and fish in troubled waters. Now this false illusion of peace has been completely broken. Although many of them are just here to join in the fun, these righteous heroes who have gathered together are enough to deal with the followers of the cult.
What's more, Zhao Xiuyan had only one purpose in this crusade against the Demon Cult, which was to completely kill Yu Liuyun and then bring back his fiancée.
He didn't care whether those people were just or sincere. The only thing he cared about now was his fiancée.
There are rumors in the martial arts world, and people don't know the inside story, nor do they know the private grudges between the two people, but it is still imperative to defeat the Demon Cult.
When the Xuancang sect members heard the news, they were indeed a little panicked, but they were quickly pacified. After all, their Xuancang sect had been hunted down and besieged by countless decent people over the years.
But as long as the leader of Xuancang Sect is alive, those people will not be able to invade and destroy Xuancang Sect so easily.
Therefore, Xu Liuyun has been very busy recently, dealing with various matters in the sect and suppressing those old remnants who took the opportunity to stir up trouble. However, it may not be so easy to overcome the difficulties this time, because his injuries have not been completely healed since he returned from Qingzhou City.
Yu Liuyun rubbed his brows, but he couldn't tell his wife about these troubles. He protected Nan Yan very well, and no news from the martial arts world was passed in.
But there was one thing that Nan Yan accidentally found out.
In fact, Murong Tuo also came back with them this time. Murong Tuo didn't know what happened between Yu Liuyun and his senior brother that day?
He only knew that after his senior brother rescued Pianran, he learned that Yanyan was taken back by Yu Liuyun. After hearing the news, Murong Tuo followed regardless. Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to take Yanyan away, but he was still no match for Yu Liuyun. After being discovered, he was captured and finally locked up in the underground palace of Xuancang Sect.
Nan Yan only found out about this later.
That night, when Yu Liuyun came to have dinner with her, she casually asked, "Did you lock up Murong Tuo?"
Yu Liuyun chuckled, picked up some food for her, and explained in a low voice, "Don't worry, I don't intend to kill him. That kid is too stupid and impulsive. I'm afraid he will make trouble again and do something messy, so I locked him up in the underground palace to calm his temper. I will let him out after a while."
After hearing this, Nan Yan stopped asking further questions.
She thought to herself that the boy was indeed impulsive, and it would be better to lock him up to prevent him from ruining her business.
So Nan Yan took some time to go to the underground palace to take another look, and sure enough, she saw Murong Tuo who was imprisoned. Except for his slightly pale face, he was fine everywhere else and did not suffer any serious injuries.
He had been sitting in a corner in a daze, staring at the skylight above his head. When he saw her, he subconsciously rushed over, holding on to the iron door frame with both hands, looking at her with slightly red eyes, with some regret and grievance revealed in his eyes, and it was unclear whether it was guilt or remorse. In the end, the two of them didn't say a word.
When Nan Yan returned to the yard, she saw the leader, who had been very busy recently, rolling up her sleeves with her hands, and no one knew what she was busy with in her small kitchen.
Thick smoke billowed out from inside from time to time, scaring the maids in her room so much that they all rushed out one after another, fearing that the leader would get excited and kill them all for fun, and then prepare a plate of braised maid meat for the leader's wife.
Nan Yan saw the leader busying around in the house, looking very dusty, and finally she couldn't help but go in and drag him out.
When he was pulled out, we saw that the once wise, mighty and majestic leader had now become so miserable and dusty.
Nan Yan was originally brewing a sad mood and was ready to give the man a lecture, but when she looked up and saw the other person's expression, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
After laughing, she felt a little uncomfortable, so she deliberately put on a stern face, loosened her sleeves, and asked him, "What are you doing? You scared my maid."
The leader stared at her blankly, holding the bowl of steaming longevity noodles in his hand. He was still a little dazed for a moment, looking at the long-lost smile she just showed.
Suddenly a shy smile appeared on his face, like a young boy who had just fallen in love. He was busy for the whole afternoon just to make a decent bowl of longevity noodles for his sweetheart.
"Don't you remember? Today is your birthday. I've been thinking for a long time about what gift to give you. Then I remembered... When my master was still alive, he would personally make you a bowl of longevity soup every year on your birthday. I also want to learn how to make one for you."
"What do you think? Does it look similar to what you've had before?"
As he spoke, he passed the bowl of steaming noodles to her. The aroma of the broth filled the air, and the bowl was still steaming. A few green cabbages were sprinkled on the milky white noodles, and he had carefully picked out a few scallions next to them.
Nan Yan looked at the man's red fingers and pulled him to sit aside. After putting the bowl of noodles on the table, she asked in a low voice, "Are your hands hot?"
The other party seemed to react at this moment, and looked down at his hand that she was holding, which was slightly red from the heat.
He wanted to hold her hand with his backhand, but was afraid of being rejected again, so he hesitated, curled his fingers twice, and then smiled at her.
"It's just a minor injury, it will heal soon."
He picked up the chopsticks again and said, "By the way, noodles will become mushy if left for too long, so you have to eat them while they are hot. I haven't cooked for a long time, so my cooking skills may not be as good as what Dad made for you in previous years, but I will practice hard in the future and try to make the same as Dad, so don't be disgusted, okay?"
After he finished speaking, he seemed to have remembered something and started muttering to himself again.
"Also, I heard from the maid last time that you wanted to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes at the foot of the mountain. I have asked someone to buy the craftsmanship of that shop. I will make it for you when I learn it..."
A cult leader turned out to be her househusband. Nan Yan felt a sense of accomplishment.
But there was still that uncomfortable look on his face.
Her eyelashes fluttered slightly. "Aren't you very busy recently? Why are you wasting time doing these meaningless things?"
Yu Liuyun was slightly stunned, then he smiled dryly, "How can this be considered meaningless? It's obviously your birthday. Do you... think my cooking skills are not as good as Dad's? How about I make another one?"
As he was about to stand up and really prepared to make a new one, Nan Yan subconsciously pulled his sleeve.
Yu Liuyun lowered his head and looked at her quietly.
Nan Yan pursed her lips and looked at him as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start, so her long eyelashes drooped slightly and she didn't say a word in the end.
She reached out and gently picked up the chopsticks he handed her, picked up the noodles and began to eat them in small bites. The rich aroma of the soup spread in her mouth. After taking a few sips, she glanced at him again. There seemed to be some surprise in her eyes. She lowered her head and drank another sip of soup. Her posture was delicate and beautiful.
Seeing Nan Yan like this, Yu Liuyun knew that his whole afternoon of work was not in vain. A satisfied smile unconsciously appeared on his face, and his heart felt as if it was soaked in a pool of warm water, soft and numb.
He knew she liked it. He had tasted the noodles that the chef had made for her before, and they were not as good as his.
He raised his hand and poured her another cup of light osmanthus tea.
When Nan Yan had almost finished eating, she drank some scented tea to relieve her greasy feeling, then took a handkerchief from the maid beside her and gently wiped her cheeks. When she was about to stand up, she suddenly felt that her consciousness became a little slow, without knowing why.
She held her forehead and subconsciously turned to look at Yu Liuyun beside her. Just as she was about to speak, her whole body suddenly fell backwards uncontrollably.
Then he was grabbed into the other person's arms.
Yu Liuyun looked down at his wife in his arms, who was still somewhat conscious, and suddenly couldn't help but smile.
Although she was smiling, the corners of her eyes were red uncontrollably. He lowered his head and kissed her cheek, whispering soothingly, "Don't be afraid, these are just some common drugs. Once the effects wear off, you'll be able to recover."
Nan Yan's eyes showed obvious confusion.
There was some moisture in her eyes, some disbelief, and some grievance. She tried hard to stand up, but found that her whole body was weak and she had no strength to stand up.
Yu Liuyun held her in his arms, his movements becoming more gentle, "Yanyan, am I still good at cooking? I haven't cooked for many years. When I was young, I made longevity noodles for my mother once. At that time, my mother joked that she was just taking advantage of her future daughter-in-law. Alas, I also want to cook for Yanyan for the rest of my life and spend every birthday with you in the future. It's a pity that there are always people who disturb us."
After he finished speaking, he sighed softly, his eyes fell on her face with love, "Yanyan, Zhao Xiuyan brought a lot of people to attack our Xuancang Sect this time. I know what he means, but I don't want to hand you over to him. Because he also made you sad and cry, and he also disappointed you. That person has too strong a sense of responsibility. Zhao Xiuyan and I are not worthy of you. We have hurt you before, so I plan to let others take you away from here."
When Yu Liuyun said this, he instantly tightened his grip on her. A strand of hair on his shoulder slid down with the movement and fell on Nan Yan's eyelids. She weakly hooked her fingers on his collar and shook her head gently.
"don't want......"
Zhao Xiuyan held her fingers, placed them on his lips and kissed them gently, "Don't be afraid, I originally wanted to let the subordinates in the sect take you away, but it's better to be safe than sorry. This time, the two forces are confronting each other, and it will definitely be a fight to the death between Zhao Xiuyan and me."
"If I hadn't died, the group of subordinates who took you away would have been obedient and wouldn't have dared to commit crimes. But if I had died, they would definitely not have let you go, and would not have tried their best to protect you. So, I found someone else."
In fact, Yu Liuyun was not very confident in fighting against Zhao Xiuyan this time. His condition was not very good, his internal injuries had not healed, and coupled with the severe blows he had suffered previously, he might really die in this battle.
He pursed his lips and kissed the corner of her lips carefully, his voice hoarse, filled with endless reluctance and attachment.
"The guy imprisoned in the dungeon is a little stupid, but he is very simple and enthusiastic. I know you don't like him, but you can control him. He will listen to you and won't bully you like Zhao Xiuyan and I did."
"Yan Yan, I don't think I've ever told you that I love you. I'm sorry that I sent you away again this time regardless of your wishes. As a husband, I really haven't fulfilled my responsibilities at all. I'll make amends to you in my next life, okay..."
After saying the last sentence, Nan Yan's consciousness seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. She seemed to feel a drop of warm tear dripping on her eyelids in a daze. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, but she finally lost consciousness completely.
