Long Yi looked at Bu Jinghua, and his eyes unconsciously narrowed, looking even more interested.

It was also at this moment that the news scouts had already spread Bu Jinghua's appearance to every corner of the Rock City. Those who should know already knew, and those who shouldn't know also knew, were informed. Not long after, the arena was already packed with people. There was a sea of people, and even old people and children had come out in droves.

One reason was because of Bu Jinghua's disappearance, which was already a mystery to everyone. They never thought that it would suddenly appear on the day of the martial competition, and what was even more anticipated was that the woman who was called a cripple a month ago would still boldly challenge the second prince, who was known as a martial arts genius. What was even more puzzling was that not only did the second prince ignore her, he even created the largest stage in history and let the news spread … This was the first time they had seen such a strange and interesting thing.

The victor of today's battle was better than the loser. In fact, everyone already had some confidence in winning. However, they had heard that Bu Jinghua's secret weapon, the "Little Silver Spear", wasn't something to be reckoned with. Therefore, most people came here to watch the show with an experienced attitude.

It was not surprising that the people of Yan City said that Qingcheng had come.

Aside from the spectators, Bu Batian was the most shocked one. When he heard that his granddaughter was not dead yet and was even standing on the stage, he immediately became excited and rushed over without waiting to get to know Bu Jinghua. When he saw Bu Jinghua on the stage, he immediately flew to his side and excitedly and gratefully looked at Bu Jinghua, then said after a long while: "Hua'er, is it really you? Grandpa... "I thought you …" Bu Batian was at a loss for words.

It was not that he was frightened by Bu Jinghua two or three times, but every time, it would cause him to lose his sense of propriety. This time, the lack of news from the past few days made him want to die even more.

"Grandfather, I'm sorry for making you worry!" He didn't tell grandpa about his bitter training just so that he wouldn't cause unnecessary trouble. Didn't that guy, Li You, still stare at him like a tiger? Luckily, Silver Face had covered her up. Otherwise, she would have definitely been discovered by Li You and the others. At that time, there would probably be a lot of troublesome things going on.

However, until today, she no longer needed to hide, because just now, her teacher had already woken up, and in the future, with her medicine, it would be better than Silver Face's Qi protecting her. Because, when she heard that Bai Ling had returned, she even secretly barged into the Bu Clan to look for her, and if not for Silver Face's timely appearance, a master illusionist at his level would have long discovered her whereabouts. She did not know why Bai Ling was looking for her, but a big character like that would definitely look for her, and it would definitely not be a good thing!

He looked around the platform, and sure enough, Bu Jinghua actually saw Bai Ling, the ghost-like fellow mixed in the crowd. His eyes were currently staring at the stage, and Bu Jinghua felt that Bai Ling was using his eyes to constantly scan him. Luckily, teacher woke up in time.

However, Bai Ling did not seem to be in a good mood. Her pale face had lost a lot of weight compared to before. She must have gone missing for such a long time to accomplish something big.

Ha, it's him!

Just as Bu Jinghua was about to withdraw his gaze, a slightly tired figure in the crowd made her feel an inexplicable shock. It seemed like he hadn't seen her for a long time, but the figure kept lingering in her mind … How did the current him turn into such a miserable state? Even the stubble on his face wasn't tidied up properly. This guy, how did he spend the past few days?

He slightly sized up the slightly destitute man and saw that he didn't have any hidden troubles apart from his despondency. Bu Jinghua finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that a master of the Silver Noodle was quite talented.

When he heard that Bu Jinghua had appeared, he did not even bother to put on his shoes and had already rushed out. He had completely forgotten about all the disguises and appearances; as long as he could see her, nothing was that important to him anymore!

Now, he finally saw the person he yearned for, but he was so excited that his legs felt weak, and he didn't dare take another step. He was afraid that this scene would be like a dream, and as soon as he got a little closer, the person in the dream would disappear like a wisp of smoke.

Looking at the person on the stage, Long Yan's eyes unexpectedly became moist at this moment. The people standing next to him even deliberately distanced themselves in disgust because the current Long Yan had the strange smell of being washed for many days, not to mention the fact that not many people had seen Long Yan, so no one recognized him. Everyone treated this sloppy-looking man who didn't wear any shoes as a beggar.

Was there a beggar dressed in such gorgeous clothes? Everyone wasn't in the mood to think about this. Their gazes were once again attracted to the arena.

"Bad guy, do you still remember that you have a grandfather like me? If you continue to threaten me like this, I'm afraid that I'll …" Alright, let's not talk about such bad luck anymore. It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back! " Bu Batian wanted to reprimand Bu Jinghua, but he couldn't bear to do anything about it. As long as Bu Jinghua was alive, then nothing would matter to him. So what if he was scared by Bu Jinghua?

"Don't worry, grandfather. In the future, if anything happens, I will definitely tell you in advance!" This was Bu Jinghua's promise to Bu Batian. She knew that she had kept Bu Batian in the dark this time in order to avoid the troubles of others. Perhaps she was wrong.

As soon as she finished speaking, Bu Jinghua's shoulder was tugged, and she instantly fell into a generous chest. This chest was not unfamiliar to her, it was indeed Long Yan's, but the smell of this body made her feel that it wasn't very nice and even made her feel a little disgusted. However, she endured the disgust and didn't push it away.

"Hua'er, you're finally back!" A low, magnetic voice rang out from the top of Bu Jinghua's head. It was filled with an indescribable sadness, but it was extremely pungent to the heart of Bu Jinghua. She understood that he missed her even more than she did.

"Mm, I'm back!" Bu Jinghua lightly replied. His indifferent tone contained feelings that only she herself could understand.

"You … Don't ever leave me again, you know? " He originally wanted to curse fiercely, but his anger was not as strong as his longing. This was his only wish at the moment, and the only condition he needed Bu Jinghua to nod and agree to. Only by doing so would he feel at ease.

"En!" Bu Jinghua was straightforward. She nodded without even thinking as she listened to the strong and rapid heartbeat coming from the chest. She believed him. Everything he said to her before was true, and his feelings for her were even stronger than she thought … She didn't know how this had all developed. Perhaps it was just like her feelings for him, accumulating bit by bit and then being dug up in an instant!

But no matter how it developed, the result was already like this. She, Bu Jinghua, only wanted to calmly face it because escaping would only waste her mind.

After receiving Bu Jinghua's nod of assent, Long Yan was finally able to relax a bit. He used his strength in both of his arms again. He really wanted to rub this woman into his body now so that they could stick together.

Long Yan?!" It's you? " Long Yi, who had been forgotten for a long time, looked at the farce in front of him, and finally became a little impatient. Today was the day of his fight with Bu Jinghua, and he was the main character. The slovenly man in front of her was even more repulsive. He actually hugged her followers tightly in front of everyone … Focusing his eyes, he realized that this slovenly man was a bit familiar. Wasn't this that fool Long Yan? However, why did this fool's words and actions make him feel that … He's not a fool, is he? Is there something wrong here?

In the face of Long Yi's surprised shout, Long Yan only gave him a nonchalant glance, seemingly not putting Long Yi in his eyes at all. He continued to tightly hug Bu Jinghua to ease his past few days of longing.

Disguise? After all these years, pretending to be a fool was tiring for him. Right now, he might still not be able to protect himself or even the people around him, but if he had to remove his disguise in order to more or less protect this silly girl by his side, then he would not hesitate to do so!

Today, he definitely wouldn't let this woman suffer even the slightest bit!

Long Yan looked at Long Yi with disdain and slightly withdrew his gaze. Long Yi was also stunned as he looked at Xiao Sha's expression. That look was definitely not from the fool Long Yan, but who else could it be if the scarred man in front of him wasn't Long Yan? He was truly stupefied.

"Fourth Prince? You... "Hua'er, he …" Even Bu Batian, who was standing to the side, was stunned. Everyone knew that Long Yan was a fool, and he, Bu Batian, had always thought so. He just didn't expect to see it again today … How could there be a fool? Was this the aura of a domineering young man? It was just that … This was not in line with reality! Weird, why does it feel like everything related to Bu Jinghua has become especially bizarre?

Bu Batian looked at Bu Jinghua with doubt in his eyes, hoping to get a definite answer from him.

"En!" She also knew that since Long Yan dared to appear here and hug her like this, speaking to her like this, he had already decided to remove his disguise as a fool. Although she was not sure why he made such a decision, she knew that it would take a lot of courage for him to make such a decision.

"Grandfather, that's right, it's me, Long Yan …" Hua'er, can you trust that you can hand it to me in the future? " Long Yan let go of Bu Jinghua and tightly held onto his hand, standing straight in front of Bu Batian, and asked with exceptional sincerity.

"You …" He never thought that his grandson-in-law would not only be a fool, but also someone with such a sense of responsibility. More importantly, it seemed that the relationship between him and Hua'er had developed to a level that even he, an old man, could not compare to!

Looking at his granddaughter and grandson-in-law, Bu Batian felt a burst of excitement and gratification.

"Hmm, I'll leave Hua Er in your hands from now on!" Bu Batian tightly held onto their hands as he firmly announced.

The people watching this scene on stage were all stunned for a moment. Very few people had seen Long Yan, and there were quite a number of people who had never seen him before. However, there were also a few who had seen him before.

"So, this is the Fourth Prince, Long Yan!" "Scar, there's really a scar on his face, it's the Fourth Prince, Long Yan!"

"Fourth Prince? Wasn't the Fourth Prince a fool? Why do I feel like I'm not stupid at all? It's so strange! "

"Idiot? "How could that be? Aside from being a little sloppy, this person seems more shrewd than anyone else, how could he be a fool?"

"Fourth Prince, Long Yan …" He's no fool at all! "

"The fourth prince isn't an idiot …"

The discussions grew louder and louder, and the conclusions were becoming more and more focused.

"Long Yan, it's really you!" Long Yi, who was on the stage, finally believed his words. "So you're not an idiot. You're just pretending …" This was the conclusion he came to. He stared at Long Yan with shining eyes, not wanting to admit that he wasn't a fool at all. In the past, he had always treated him as one … So it turned out that he was the fool who was played around by others!

"Hmph, I wasn't stupid in my life. I just became stupid when I met some shocks. Now that I've met another even greater blow, I won't be stupid then. I don't want to be stupid either …" Long Yan looked at Bu Jinghua lovingly, smiled lightly, and struck him even harder. He said Bu Jinghua, and Bu Jinghua was able to read from that pair of eyes: So, it was because of her that he "didn't want to be foolish"!

A sweet feeling surged up within Bu Jinghua's heart and spread throughout his body. It was so sweet, so sweet. The feeling of happiness that came from that sweet feeling was something that he had never felt before!

So, this was the so-called happiness brought by love. Indeed, it was intoxicating!

"You …" Faced with Long Yan's casual explanation, Long Yi also didn't have any room to question him. He had indeed heard of this before, and many people present had heard of it. This kind of explanation also perfectly exempted Long Yan from the crime of deliberately cheating the Emperor, making it impossible for the Emperor to investigate this matter.

"Today, let me replace her and your challenge. How about it?" Long Yan protected Bu Jinghua behind him. He took a step forward and coldly stared at Long Yi. Since he was going to tear off his disguise, then there was no need to hide his strength. After all, he didn't want Bu Jinghua to be harmed.

"You …" Long Yi gritted his teeth in hatred in the face of such arrogant words from Long Yan. He had never thought that the fool that he had treated like dirt would dare to confront him in such an arrogant manner.

"Why are you doing this? Even if you are not stupid now, you are still not a match for second brother, and besides, you are not worthy of being a fool! " On the side, Long Lie finally cleared up the situation. He stretched his neck to protect the dignity of Long Yi. He didn't want to let Long Yi, who he had always been following, be humiliated by a fool like that.

"Hmph, it is not up to you two to decide whether we are worthy or not. It is more important to compete!" In the face of such insults, Long Yan simply smiled indifferently in response, completely displaying his royal demeanor.

He stared at Long Yi, who did not know how to respond, with a pair of deep yet sharp eyes. He slightly raised his brows and provoked him, "Besides, she is my woman now. Protecting her is my responsibility!" He looked at Bu Jinghua and instantly became exquisite and gentle.

Bu Jinghua looked up and returned the gaze with the same gentleness. It turned out that the frosty and frosty Bu Jinghua still had such a gentle side to him. However, the person he was facing was indeed another man … Long Yi felt quite upset when he saw this scene. This woman, who had once chased him into a coma, had now changed just because of a man who was inferior to her!

The hateful thing was that the man who was inferior to him was now bravely challenging him! Just as Long Yi was thinking angrily, Bu Jinghua stepped forward and resolutely said, "This is my written challenge, I alone can complete it. You, stand obediently to the side, do you understand?"

This was also a result that Long Yan had long predicted. However, he really didn't want her to be injured, and even though her internal force had increased, she was still far from being comparable to Long Yi. If they were to really fight, she would definitely be injured!

"But you …" Long Yan wanted to make his final rebuttal, but before he could finish his sentence, Bu Jinghua had already made up his mind, "You should understand me, right?" With a rhetorical question, Long Yan swallowed back everything he was going to say. That's right, he understood her. She was a woman that tried to be brave but still tried to be strong. He knew this very well.

Thus, she must complete today's duel on her own!

This was the woman he liked! He was the only one!
