Chapter 38 [VIP] Jianghu (19)

Nan Yan naturally also saw the critical situation. She looked up and saw that the bronze bell under the eaves was swaying in the strong wind and was ringing, which seemed to be a signal.

At the same time, the killer lurking in the dark also jumped up, and the murderous aura filled the entire courtyard.

The small courtyard was immediately surrounded. This group of people dared to come and commit crimes in broad daylight. It is conceivable how rampant the people in the Demon Cult have become.

Nan Yan was hiding under the eaves at this time. Behind her was the house where Xie Yu was. She was separated from Xiao Guanxue by half a yard. The goal of the group of men in black was very clear. Their main purpose was to kill Xiao Guanxue, but if they could not kill him, they would naturally not let go of the people who were traveling with him.

The reason for killing them is naturally to vent hatred and revenge, as well as to avoid future troubles.

According to the description in the original text, this group of villagers were not poisoned by the snake accidentally, but the people in the evil cult used these people intentionally to test the poison.

The Demon Sect has been suppressed by the righteous for a long time. The people in the sect can't bear the humiliation, so they want to restore the Demon Sect to its former glory.

This poison was carefully refined by them in order to control the so-called righteous people, thereby making full preparations for the next step of the Demon Cult's plan, and then use poison to control and rule the entire martial arts world.

However, the poison was cured by Xiao Guanxue, a genius doctor from Yaowang Valley. This man had ruined the Demon Sect's important plans, so naturally, the Demon Sect would not let him off easily.

That's why an assassination was planned.

Su Mo obviously saw the pattern on the dart clearly at this time, and her face turned pale. That was a unique assassination dart used by the Demon Sect. Could it be that someone from the Demon Sect had done this? Were they really up to something?

Before the few people could think about it, killers from all directions immediately rushed forward. Xiao Guanxue was thinking about Nan Yan in his heart, but he was restrained by everyone and couldn't get away. The killer swung a knife, and Xiao Guanxue immediately turned around to avoid it. Su Mo beside him called him anxiously, making him more anxious and irritated.

His medical skills are indeed unrivaled in the world, but his martial arts skills are only average. At this moment, he doesn't care about others, and he turns a blind eye to Su Mo's calls. He only thinks about protecting Yanyan.

Nan Yan on the other side was also targeted by the killer. She dodged and retreated, and could not avoid it in time, so she could only throw all the herbs around her at the killer.

With this blow, the killer's knife swing slightly deviated, and the knife that was originally heading towards her neck instantly went towards her shoulder.

Nan Yan dodged by turning her head away and closed her eyes subconsciously, thinking that she would only suffer minor injuries. If she could hold on for a little longer, the detectives at the entrance of the village would be able to notice what was going on here, and she would be safe then.

However, in the chaos, the expected pain did not come. Instead, my whole body tightened and I fell into a warm embrace. I heard a muffled groan in my ear and a warm current flowed down my neck and soaked the collar.

Then a slight trembling sound sounded in his ears, with a hint of fear. Xie Yu held the person tightly in his arms, refusing to let go even a bit.

"Yanyan, don't be afraid..."

Nan Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly.

I thought to myself, as expected, someone rescued me.

In fact, she was not completely sure. Just now, she saw Xiao Guanxue was surrounded and unable to get away, so she deliberately led the killer to the door, while Xie Yu stayed in that room.

She was just taking a gamble.

Nan Yan slowly opened her eyes until she heard a soft shout. When she saw who was in front of her, she seemed dazed and unable to react, staring straight at the man in front of her.

Xie Yu saw her stunned look and thought she was injured somewhere, so he quickly let go of her shoulder and checked her, "Yan Yan, where... ahem, you are injured, why aren't you talking?"

No one knew the fear and nervousness he felt when he saw the blade slashing towards her body, fearing that she would be hurt.

At that moment, she didn't even care about her own safety. The only thought in her mind was that if he died, she would not be in any danger either. So she blocked the way without thinking.

At this moment, Nan Yan's heart was calm, but her face showed an anxious and worried expression. She moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but when she raised her head, she saw the killer standing behind him suddenly fall to the ground.

It turned out that when Xiao Guanxue saw that scene, he shot out several poisoned silver needles from his sleeves without thinking, and this happened to save Xie Yu's life.

But even so, Xie Yu was stabbed badly in the back, with the wound running from his shoulder to his spine, and blood was immediately gushing out, with his skin torn apart.

Nan Yan burst into tears when she saw this serious situation. "Brother Yu, you..."

Before she could finish her words, she heard a loud "bang" coming from the door. It turned out that the soldiers and detectives at the village entrance finally noticed the commotion here. Seeing someone committing a crime in broad daylight, they immediately raised their weapons to kill. However, as the number of people increased, the killers gradually retreated.

Everyone suffered some minor injuries. Su Mo also got her arm chopped off while trying to pull Xiao Guanxue in the panic. She had just recovered from a serious illness and could not endure the torture. She fainted from the pain immediately.

Xiao Guanxue kicked away the dead body in front of him, rushed directly to Nan Yan, pulled Xie Yu away, and then held her tightly in his arms.

There was still dried blood on his face. He didn't care about his own safety when he injected the needle just now. The back of his hand was cut by a knife. At this moment, his hands holding Nan Yan were shaking with fear.

He was glad that Xie Yu had blocked the blow for her, otherwise the knife would have definitely chopped her off, but he was also afraid that she would be soft-hearted. Xie Yu risked his life to save her, would she... would she regret it...

"Yanyan, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Guanxue held her tightly, as if this would allow him to forget everything that had just happened.

Nan Yan's eyes fell on Xie Yu who was pushed aside by him. She grabbed Xiao Guanxue's wrist with her backhand, "Brother Yu, Brother Xiao, please save him..."

"I don't care about other people's life or death."

"It's not someone else, he is not someone else, he is Brother Ayu..."

Seeing Nan Yan's pale face, she was panicked.

Xiao Guanxue was worried that she was too frightened, so he finally suppressed the sour and uneasy emotions that welled up in his heart, and then he responded: "Okay, I know, I will save him, don't worry, nothing will happen to him, don't cry."

Nan Yan then realized that he was also injured. She seemed to sense the uneasiness in his heart, and quickly reached out to wipe the blood off his face, and gently comforted him: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just care about him as a brother, not what you think."

Xiao Guanxue hummed.

Xie Yu's already pale face turned even more pale after hearing these words. He clenched his fingers and looked at the two people hugging each other in powerlessness and despair. He felt that the pain in his body was not even a bit greater than the pain in his heart. He might as well just die.

Thinking of this, Xie Yu could no longer hold on, and slowly fell down against the pillar, completely losing consciousness.

Xiao Guanxue felt relieved after hearing her words. He then thought, if Xie Yu hadn't risked his life to save her, it would be Nan Yan who was injured. If he was fine, it would be fine. But if something happened to him, Yan Yan would have to worry about him for the rest of her life.

Without hesitation, he helped the injured person up with everyone else and started to clean up the broken items around them.

The decision to leave the village in a day or two had to be postponed for a few days. After the assassination that day, several people suffered minor injuries, so they decided to wait until they recovered before leaving.

Although the village chief was worried that someone would come to cause trouble again, these people were their saviors after all. In addition, there were soldiers patrolling the village from time to time, and the village gradually became much more stable. Therefore, he did not say much about their decision to stay and recuperate.

Xiao Guanxue was a doctor, and he became even busier after this incident. Xie Yu's injuries were indeed very serious. The knife wound was so deep that the bone was visible and the skin and flesh were torn. If it was an inch deeper, the bone would have been exposed.

Xie Yu was in a coma for two days and one night, and Nan Yan was taking care of him during these two days.

Although Xiao Guanxue didn't say it, he was still a little uneasy in his heart. But Xie Yu was indeed hurt for Nan Yan. He couldn't force Yanyan to ignore him, because that would only make her remember him for the rest of her life.

On the morning of the third day, Xie Yu finally woke up.

At this time, the sky outside the window was bright, and the sunlight outside passed through the pomegranate tree in the yard and fell on the windows inside the house. The first thing Xie Yu saw when he woke up was this simple roof, and he was a little dazed for a while.

He thought he was dead, but he was still alive. Thinking of the scene he saw before he fell into a coma, Xie Yu felt filled with bitterness and thought it would be better for him not to wake up.

He wanted to raise his hand to lift the quilt, but he felt his whole arm was a little stiff and numb, and his fingertips trembled subconsciously. Only then did he realize that his hand seemed to be held tightly by someone.

Xie Yu was startled at first, then turned his head to look.

A black head was lying beside the bed, and his hand was tightly held in the other person's palm.

At that moment, Xie Yu thought he was hallucinating because he had slept for too long. Could he have returned to the past? Otherwise, how could Yanyan be here?

Xie Yu moved his fingertips slightly, and the warm and soft feeling in his hands was real, it was not a dream!

He was so nervous that even his breathing stopped, afraid that he would ruin this peaceful scene. He just closed his eyes and stared blankly at the hairy head in front of him.

I don't know how long he looked at her like this, so long that his whole shoulder was numb, but Xie Yu still felt that he hadn't seen enough. How could he have been so stupid in the past? Why did he feel that his childhood sweetheart who loved him so wholeheartedly was troublesome?

Thinking of this, he murmured his name unconsciously, and bent his fingers slightly, wanting to hold her hand tighter.

"Yanyan..." The voice he shouted was almost inaudible.

However, the noise still woke up the person lying on the bed. Nan Yan moved her fingertips slightly, slowly opened her eyes, and raised her head, just in time to meet Xie Yu's eyes that were staring at her blankly.

She was stunned at first, then a look of joy appeared on her face. She subconsciously held his hand tightly and asked excitedly: "Brother Yu, you finally woke up. Does your injury still hurt? Is it better?"

Xie Yu smiled unconsciously and shook his head, "I'm fine." Then he remembered something and asked again, "After that day... were you injured?"

When Nan Yan thought of what happened that day, her eyes turned red. When she looked at the injuries on the man's body, she showed a guilty look on her face. "I'm not injured. Nothing happened. I'm sorry, Brother Yu. I've implicated you."

"Don't say that. I volunteered."

"But I slapped you that day."

She was talking about what happened that morning. He flirted with her in a fit of desperation, causing her to run away crying. But if it happened again, he might do the same thing again.

Xie Yu was already feeling deep regret for what happened in the past, and when he saw her red eyes and guilty look on her face, he immediately felt distressed.

He raised his hand and gently rubbed her eyelids to wipe away the tears. Thinking of the promise he made when he was young, he felt bitter again. "Yan Yan, you don't have to feel guilty. I learned martial arts to protect you."

What's more, he has always been the one who has let her down.

Xie Yu thought about what she said that day, and every time he thought about it, his chest felt like it was being stabbed by needles.

He quickly adjusted his expression, held Nan Yan's fingers tightly and said seriously, "Yan Yan, can you give me another chance? Let's go back to Mingyue Villa. Uncle and aunt are still waiting for us to go home. Let's go back and start over, okay?"

As long as she agreed, it wouldn't matter if she stabbed him once or ten times, even if it was out of guilt. As long as she was willing to be with him, he wouldn't mind.

When Nan Yan heard this, her eyelashes trembled uncontrollably and tears fell.

She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her face was calm. She immediately pulled her hand out of his grasp and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Yu..."

"You saved me, I am grateful to you, but I don't like you anymore. The person I like now is Brother Xiao. From the moment you chose Su Mo, there is no possibility between us anymore."

Xie Yu's body froze. This time, she was really panicking. She had never seen Yanyan speak to her in such a calm tone. She really didn't want him anymore. She really wanted to give up...

Xie Yu felt an unprecedented panic coming over him. He felt cold all over, as if someone had poured a basin of ice water over him from head to toe. His heart was chilled to the bone.

Xie Yu grabbed Nan Yan's hand tightly and pressed it against his cheek. His lips trembled uncontrollably due to fear. "How can it be impossible? It is possible. It is still possible. As long as you are willing, we still have a chance..."

He didn't believe it. He didn't believe that the feelings they had for so many years could be gone just like that. It was impossible. Yanyan would not treat him like this.

Nan Yan shook her head, and as she looked at him, her eyes seemed to be filled with a thin layer of mist. "It's impossible, Brother Yu, there's no going back. I don't like you anymore. Don't say such things again in the future."

However, Xie Yu seemed to be unable to bear the pain in his heart any longer, and he pulled the person into his arms, "I don't believe it, you like me, the person you like has always been me, Yanyan, please don't treat me like this..."

Nan Yan shook her head helplessly, "I just don't want to get entangled with this anymore. Let's stop here, Brother Yu."

"No! Don't be like this, I already know I was wrong, I have done so many things to hurt you, you hate me, right? Yanyan, I know you hate me, so you deliberately said those things to anger me, right?"

Xie Yu's tone suddenly became anxious, with a hint of pleading in it. He didn't want it to stop here. Even if he hated him, he didn't want to be indifferent.

He held Nan Yan tightly with both hands, completely ignoring the fact that the wounds on his body had opened again, as if he could not feel the pain.

After hearing this, Nan Yan's eyes suddenly turned red, and she reached out and pushed him away.

"Yes, you are right, I hate you!"

As she said this, her tears flowed even more freely, and the look she gave him was filled with suffocating hatred.

"I hate you for being so heartless and ungrateful, Xie Yu. Since you know that we have been childhood sweethearts and that I have liked you for more than ten years, why! Why can you break off the engagement with me without any scruples? Where do you put me?"

"You don't even know what I've been through? You pushed me into the mud for another woman. Have you ever thought that I'm your fiancée? Our relationship of more than ten years is not as good as the six months you and Su Mo have been together. Xie Yu, why did you let me go through all this?"

"What you are going through now is what I once felt, but I am in a hundred times, a thousand times more pain than you. How can I not hate you when you make me suffer so much?"

Nan Yan cried and then suddenly laughed, but her eyes were full of pain and despair.

Xie Yu's pupils suddenly contracted.

Looking at Yanyan like this, he felt the pain in his heart getting worse. The piercing pain spread from his limbs to his whole body. It was all his fault that he ruined everything. He made her so sad. How could she not hate him?

But seeing how much pain she was in, he felt that he was suffering even more than her.

"Yanyan...don't cry..."

"sorry……"

He touched her face carefully, and his fingertips touched the warm tears. Suddenly, he felt his eyes sore. "I'm sorry, I really know I was wrong. Don't cry, it's all my fault. Don't be so sad, you will hurt your eyes..."

Nan Yan slapped his hand away and glared at him with hatred, "Do you think I will be grateful to you just because you saved me? I wish you were dead. Not only do I hate you, I also hate them. I hate all of you, so I will take revenge on you, all of you!"

"Do you think I really like Xiao Guanxue? I hate him too. Who does he think he is? What's so great about a high-ranking miracle doctor? He made things difficult for me because he liked Su Mo, but what's my fault?"

"So I wanted to take revenge on him. I deliberately seduced him. I thought he was a very affectionate man, but I didn't expect him to be just like that. I just used a little trick and he followed me around like a dog. It was so ridiculous!"

Nan Yan suddenly changed the subject, her tone seemed to contain some satisfaction, her eyes were red from crying, but she still glared at him fiercely, "I just used him to anger you, I want to return to you all the pain you have inflicted on me."

"Are you satisfied now? You know how much I hate you, right? I wish you were dead. Why are you still staying with me regardless of anything?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Yan heard a hoarse voice coming from behind her.

Xiao Guanxue walked out from behind the door, looked at the slender figure in front of him, and asked quietly, "So, you have been using me from the beginning to the end?"
