"Yes sir!"

Following the order, the group of people surrounded Liu Ruo Qing and the other two.

These people's skills were somewhat beyond Liu Ruo Qing and Yue Yang's expectations. A guard academy of the Outer Palace was actually as strong as a elite army of the Barracks.

Liu Ruo Qing and Qi Feng both had the same thoughts, but at the moment, they didn't have time to think too much into it.

Facing the group of dozens of people in front of them, Qi Feng and Liu Ruo Qing were able to cope with the attacks easily in the beginning, but it was not easy for them to leave.

At the back, dozens of ninjas hidden in the grain depot rushed out, making the already weakened Liu Ruo Qing and Yue Yang even more difficult to fend off.

Right at this moment, a black figure flashed by, and blocked the distance between Liu Ruo Qing and the group of people, and protected her within her embrace.

Liu Ruo Qing's heart trembled, she suddenly raised her head to look at the man who covered her face in front of him. These familiar auras, these familiar eyes, who else could it be other than Yan Yuan!

With Yan Yuan joining them, this battle became much more relaxed, but to Liu Ruo Qing, it felt even heavier.

"Let's go."

Taking advantage of the gap, Yan Yuan shouted out softly. After that, he wrapped his waist around Liu Ruo Qing's body, leaped up, and left the training grounds.

After returning to the tavern, Liu Ruo Qing shook off Yan Yuan's hands that were wrapped around her waist, forcefully pushed open the door and walked in.

Yan Yuan was startled, but when he moved, his heart suddenly hurt, he frowned, and subconsciously held onto his heart.

But then, afraid that Liu Ruo Qing would notice anything, she immediately put her hand down.

Gritting his teeth and enduring the pain in his heart, he walked towards Liu Ruo Qing step by step and carefully sat down beside her.

Seeing her dark face, he ignored her. When he sat down, he also distanced himself from her. There was no expression on his elongated face.

Yan Yuan knew that she was angry, and he felt that it was a little unfair.

Carefully, he reached out his hand to pull her hand over, but she shook it off.

Once again, he reached out to pull her hand away. Liu Ruo Qing tried to struggle free, but he was grabbed tightly by her hand, unable to let go.

Liu Ruo Qing struggled a few times, but her strength was so strong that her wrist was red from the grinding.

Yan Yuan could feel her intense fury. Seeing her struggle with all his might, and his red wrists, Yan Yuan's heart ached for her and hugged her.

"Are you angry?"

he asked in a low voice, his arm around her struggling body. "I was wrong. Can't we do something else next time?"

He kissed her forehead and felt her slightly trembling body. He didn't know if it was due to anger or fear.

Liu Ruo Qing struggled a few times but was unable to break free, she gave up.

Being held in Yan Yuan's embrace, she was silent and did not make a sound. A faint mist began to rise from his thick and long eyelashes.

Yan Yuan's apologetic voice continued to sound in her ears, "I know you are worried about the poison in my body, I promise I will listen to you next time. Forgive me this time, okay?"

He kept apologizing, but Liu Ruo Qing did not say a word. Only after a while, he felt his chest heating up, as if some kind of liquid was running through it.

His heart suddenly trembled as he lifted her chin, but she dodged his hand. From his bosom came her muffled voice. Her nasal voice was a bit heavy. "Don't move."

As expected, Yan Yuan didn't move again. He only felt her hands go around his arms and tightly wrap around his waist, hugging him tightly.

"If you continue to be this disobedient, you'll die sooner or later. Let me hug you a little longer so that you won't have to hug me anymore in the future."

She spoke angrily, but there was a catch in her voice.

Yan Yuan's body stiffened for a moment, after that, he chuckled as he hugged her even more tightly.

"That won't happen, I want you to hug me for the rest of my life. Without your order, how would I dare to die?"

His gaze and tone, were both doting on Liu Ruo Qing as if he wanted to melt Liu Ruo Qing into his blood.

Liu Ruo Qing groaned from his embrace, and then raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes still a little red, "Didn't you promise me at the beginning, to stay in the tavern? If you want to listen to my words when you say them in a nice way, then that is obviously defying the rules. "

"I was wrong. I promise, I won't do it again."

He gave her a light kiss on the tip of her nose. "I won't let you out next time. What if tonight's incident happens and I don't have time to save you?"

Although Yan Yuan kept apologizing to Liu Ruo Qing, he didn't regret following her secretly tonight.

If he had been late at first, he would not have dared to think about the consequences.

From the looks of the people fighting tonight, this cultivator was definitely not as simple as just a mere outsider.

A country bumpkin's residence actually had such a group of experts. If it was purely for the sake of guarding the grain depot, then it would be overkill.

Hearing him say this, although Liu Ruo Qing wanted to refute, he had no way of refuting it.

Indeed, if he didn't come tonight, she and Qi Feng might very well die there.

Even if they didn't say anything, the Japanese ninjas would not let them off the hook so easily.

Thinking of this, Liu Ruo Qing's heart inexplicably tightened.

After leaning in Yan Yuan's embrace for a while, she looked up at Yan Yuan and asked worriedly: "You used your Qi tonight, do you feel any discomfort anywhere? Do you feel any pain in your heart?"

The master said that when the residual poison recurs, the first reaction is a pain in the heart.

The moment he asked the question, Liu Ruo Qing's heart started beating extremely hard.

Yan Yuan's chest suddenly stopped, and then, without changing his expression, he said: "No, I don't."

Recalling the sharp pain in his chest the moment he entered the door, Yan Yuan frowned without batting an eyelid.

"Really?"

Liu Ruo Qing's gaze was fixated on Yan Yuan's calm and handsome face. On his face, not a single trace of doubt could be seen.

"Un, really. Maybe it's because I've been drinking it for almost a month, but the poison isn't as strong."

Yan Yuan nodded without changing his expression. He looked like he did not have the slightest bit of guilt.

Although Liu Ruo Qing still felt a little suspenseful in her heart, she heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Yan Yuan didn't seem to be lying at all.

In the end, she looked at Yan Yuan with a serious expression and said: "Next time, do not use your Qi casually. Do you hear me?"

"Mm, I'll remember. I guarantee that there won't be a next time."

He raised four fingers and swore again.

Although Liu Ruo Qing did not say anything, her heart was in suspense.

As long as the matter of relief food was not resolved, there would be a hidden danger.

After checking out the granary tonight, she felt that the water in the granary was very, very deep.

"By the way, do you know what we met when we went to the granary today?"

Keeping the apprehension in his heart, Liu Ruo Qing looked at Yan Yuan and asked.
