She wasn't the type of person who liked to moan in pain, but in her heart, she felt so sad that she couldn't breathe.
She sat on the edge of the lake with her knees drawn up and her hands folded in front of her, her chin resting on the back of her hands, watching as the two mandarins ahead of her were separated from each other by a thick wooden rod that slid down from the lake.
No matter how hard they tried, they were still unable to push the wooden stick away and swim towards their opponent.
"The Lovers' Weaving hesitates again. I'm only afraid that someone will cut me up lightly and split me into two parts. Once I lose my hatred, my plan will not work anymore."
Tears welled up in his eyes and finally fell sorrowfully on the lake in front of him, making him faint and dizzy.
Princess, write the name of the prince on this lamp and see if it will be picked up by the prince …
On the Mid-Autumn Day, Xiao Yue's words flashed across her mind.
At that time, Xiao Yue excitedly gave the lotus lamp to her, telling her to write the name of her lover on the lamp and place it in the river.
At that time, she still thought that Xiao Yue was a little funny, but now, she felt that she made some sense.
What kind of fate was needed to allow the one whom he loved to pick up the lamp he put down in the endless sea of lanterns.
If he really did pick it up, that would be a relationship that was destined to be formed in his previous life.
She subconsciously thought of Yan Yuan, the gentleness and doting when he looked after her, and the tolerance when he was helpless and frustrated from her anger.
"If... If all of this wasn't based on that premise, would you still be indulging me like this? "
Whether Yan Chang's words were intentional or not, it had indeed affected her.
If it wasn't for the fact that Yan Yuan felt that her blood could save his sister, would he still treat her well?
Not far behind her, there were a dozen pairs of eyes lurking in the darkness. They were like poisonous snakes staring at their prey, staring at her body.
"Listen up, this time you have to be careful. That woman is not easy to deal with because of her. We have lost a lot of brothers. This time, we have to take her life so that we can report back."
"Okay, big brother. She crossed blows with the People from the Divine Artefact Hall this morning and was injured. Since Yan Yuan is not here, I don't believe that she will be able to escape."
"Cut the crap, let's go."
Following the order, that group of people rushed out from the grass that had been set up in ambush.
Liu Ruo Qing looked at the lake surface as footsteps rushed over from behind her with obvious killing intent. The light in her eyes suddenly froze.
She sat by the lake without moving, her hands resting on her knees, slowly moving to her side.
Because of the winter, many of the branches of the dead trees had fallen and were piled on the edge.
She used her left hand to grab a handful and put it in her palm. When she felt their footsteps getting closer, she suddenly turned around and threw the branch in her hand towards them.
Because her right hand was injured, the accuracy and strength of her left hand was not that accurate. She only injured a few of the assassins.
"Princess Tian Xin, long time no see."
The leader of the masked men looked at Liu Ruo Qing's calm appearance, as if he was an old friend who was greeting him.
"It's you guys again?"
He only needed to guess the identity of these people.
Furthermore, the people who chased after her on the streets of Jin Du were the same group of people who broke into the King Jing Palace and chased after her during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
If the previous two times she felt that the other party was here for Yan Yuan, then this time, she would really be a fool if she thought like that.
Even if he had a grudge with Yan Yuan, he couldn't possibly keep an eye on her, this Crown Princess Jing, all day.
Could it be that they felt that if they killed her, Yan Yuan would never be able to recover from his injuries and would live his sad life in a daze?
Liu Ruo Qing mocked herself in her heart as she laughed.
"Fellow brothers, I wonder how much the head of this princess is worth to allow you all to injure so many of my brothers, or to persevere in killing me?"
The other party was taken aback. Then, he sneered, "You don't need to know about this. Even if you do, it's useless. It's better to just accept your fate obediently."
As the sound of her voice faded, with a wave of her hand, the group of black-clad cultivators charged towards her.
Liu Ruo Qing knew that the assassins in the martial arts world were all desperate, and their martial arts were not too bad.
Last time, if it wasn't for Shen Qin helping her block for a while, and if Yan Yuan arrived again later, she would have definitely died at their hands on that day.
Today, she was injured again. Facing such a group of murderous people, it was basically impossible for her to think of escaping safely.
However, there wasn't even a shadow of a soul in the outskirts of the city. Even if she wanted to ask for help, she didn't have a target to ask for.
Was there really no way out today? Not only was there no path of survival, but there was also the need for a savage corpse wilderness?
Liu Ruo Qing was even more depressed in her heart. Ever since she teleported to this damned place, she had not had a good time.
The injury had not completely healed, yet another wound had appeared. That wound had only just healed. Another wound had appeared, and it was almost unbroken.
The deep malice that came from the Easternum all came to her.
Following wave after wave of attacks, Liu Ruo Qing was already unable to be distracted to think of other things.
He could only defend on one side and retreat on the other.
The clothes that he had just bought had several holes cut into them.
After the battle with Shen Ji Hall this morning, she was already exhausted. Now that his right hand was injured, she was completely exhausted.
There were even thoughts of waiting to die, too lazy to resist.
When she saw the dozen or so sharp blades aimed at her head, she didn't want to dodge anymore.
His hands hung down, waiting for death to come.
Dong, dong, dong —
A few odd sounds rang out in front of her, but the knife she had been expecting did not fall, but the few people in front of her had already been frozen in place.
The light of the blade and sword made it difficult for her to open her eyes.
She stepped back, away from them.
"It was actually hit?"
Liu Ruo Qing pushed them, and in that few moments, the entire group was stunned.
Liu Ruo Qing looked around, and then broke into a smile, "Thank you, hero of the tree."
The person hiding in the tree was stunned for a moment. Then, he threw away the jujube in his hand and jumped down from the tree.
Liu Ruo Qing saw that he was dressed in black clothes that fell from the sky with a head full of silver threads tied up casually behind him.
An extraordinarily handsome face added a bit of splendor to his dark and calm clothes.
It was just like an immortal in the Nine Heavens, causing people to feel that they shouldn't have desecrated him.
"Young lady, you have good hearing. How could you so easily discover me?"
The man spoke, his pleasant voice adding a sense of beauty to his ordinary attire.
Liu Ruo Qing raised her eyebrows, and accepted his praise.
"Thank you, young master, for saving me. Otherwise, I would really have died here."
The man shook his head and smiled disapprovingly. "Young lady is too modest. These people aren't weak. Young lady, you can still persevere for so long …"
"…"
Hearing his words, he saw that she had been beaten up for a long time before taking action?
