Chu Fan opened his mouth as if to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.
He suddenly felt a pang of sadness, as if something had flashed by like a shooting star, something he could never grasp again, and something that would never be his concern in this lifetime.
Du Yinyun said coldly, "Isn't Young Master Chu leaving yet?"
The words of expulsion were already quite harsh. Chu Fan glanced at the stunningly beautiful woman with a hateful expression, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly, wanting to speak, but he hesitated for a long time.
Du Yinyun was not an insignificant stranger to him; on the contrary, she was the daughter of his father's comrade-in-arms, one of the people he should be closest to. In his memory, Du Yinyun's innocent, childlike face gradually merged with the hateful expression on her face now.
Unfortunately, his childhood friend didn't recognize him.
Chu Fan knew in his heart that the Chu Fan Du Yinyun knew must have died in the massacre of his family ten years ago.
"I didn't mean to hurt He Yunxiao..."
Looking at the nearly lifeless Young Master He in her arms, and hearing Chu Fan's feeble explanation, Du Yinyun was filled with regret. How could she have ever admired this man in the first place?
"May I ask, Young Master Chu, during the duel, will Young Master He go all out?"
"Nature has reached its limit."
Du Yinyun tightened her grip on He Yunxiao's arm.
"Young Master Chu, are you going all out?"
"I did my best."
Du Yinyun took a deep breath. "If that's the case, why not stop short of killing someone? Why did you have to beat them so badly?"
"I……"
Chu Fan couldn't find the words to refute him. He had indeed harbored selfish motives.
"Young Master Chu has won, yet he remains on the stage. Does he wish to see others make a fool of themselves? Though I am but a humble man, I know the pride of a scholar and the ambition of a warrior. What Young Master Chu has done today is neither gentlemanly nor even a fraction of Young Master He's spirit."
Faced with Du Yinyun's questioning, Chu Fan had nothing more to say and could only leave dejectedly amidst the cheers of the crowd.
At this moment, the victorious protagonist wins like a loser.
He Yunxiao was exhausted; his whole body ached.
Even now, lying in Du Huakui's arms, she had no other thoughts.
Chu Xiaoxiao stood not far away, talking to her brother Chu Fan.
He Yunxiao placed her and Sister Du in the same field of vision.
Chu Xiaoxiao's favorability towards Du Yinyun has increased from 0 to 20.
So, is this mission finally complete?
A soft sobbing sound came from above. He Yunxiao looked up and saw a beautiful woman crying.
"Don't cry, little sister, I'm okay."
He Yunxiao was telling the truth; he was indeed fine.
He was brutally beaten by Chu Xiaoxiao back then, and although he only took a few hits, Chu Xiaoxiao was the best in the world. Even so, he could move around freely after resting for a while.
Chu Fan fought fiercely, and He Yunxiao's injuries were more severe than before. However, the Soul Devouring Pill's healing speed was amazing, with no drawbacks other than costing him his life.
Du Yinyun didn't believe such nonsense at all. She had been beaten so badly that she couldn't get up. How could she be alright?
He Yunxiao was exhausted and at a loss.
The situation reached a stalemate.
Until the crowd below the stage began to murmur amongst themselves.
Why is Du Huakui hugging He Yunxiao?
Could it be that they have a secret affair?
Jiang Wuyou knew that this situation could not be delayed any longer; the longer it dragged on, the more chaotic things would become. Order had to be restored immediately.
So she came over.
First, he had Ya Hu and Du Hua Kui help He Yunxiao to the side building to rest. Then he said to everyone, "Young Master He has a lot of controversy in Yin Jing, but as long as he comes to my Chunfeng Tower, he is a guest. Chunfeng Tower cannot stand by and watch a guest have a problem and not care, especially since this person is the eldest son of a marquis."
“Sister Yinyun comes from a martial arts family and has some connections with the He family, so it would be most appropriate for her to handle this matter. That being said, it’s not a good idea to keep all the young masters waiting here. After much thought, it would be best if Wuyou temporarily took charge of today’s selection and martial arts competition. When the next round, ‘Falling Flowers,’ begins, I will make sure that Yinyun apologizes to all the waiting young masters.”
Jiang Wuyou's words were flawless, and more importantly, people understood Chunfenglou's actions.
In this desolate place, because the eldest son of the Marquis's family was injured and confronted the Marquis of Wuqing, it was like throwing an egg against a rock.
Marquis Wuqing is a second-rank official in the imperial court. He can shut down Chunfeng Tower with just a few words.
There was no other way; for the sake of future happiness, let Du, the courtesan, put in a good word for us.
After speaking, Jiang Wuyou waved to his maid.
The gong sounds, and the martial arts competition continues!
