C419 He had to take the brunt of the blow for him

Liu Ruo Qing's eyes felt a stinging pain as she buried his face in Yan Yuan's chest so that he wouldn't see it.

She also wanted to die by his side, but only if she didn't want to harm him.

"That's true. It's better to not see each other."

In his embrace, she reached out his arms and tightly wrapped his arms around Yan Yuan's waist. He withdrew his moist eyes and looked at Yan Yuan without saying a word, only giving him a smile.

It was better to forget about each other than to live together.

Perhaps, for a very long time, she would never forget this man who had loved her deeply.

Yan Yuan's eyes flashed with pain. Her smile was like countless sharp blades stabbing into his heart, but, he didn't even have the courage to scream out for pain.

Both of his hands held Liu Ruo Qing tightly in her embrace. In the next second, his gaze suddenly focused as she coldly and harshly swept her gaze outside the window.

Liu Ruo Qing also noticed that something was wrong and retreated out of Yan Yuan's embrace, looking towards the window at the same time.

"Someone's coming."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Yan Yuan brought Liu Ruo Qing behind him out of habit.

Even at this point, he did not forget to protect her.

Liu Ruo Qing stood behind him, her eyes blazing as she silently cursed "fool".

She reached out her hands and pulled Yan Yuan's hand tightly. She looked up at him with a pleading gaze, "Let's not go out. We just need to leave this place to Qi Feng and the others, okay?"

Yan Yuan knew she was worried about him. The nervousness and fear in her eyes made his heart ache.

He nodded and wrapped her hand tightly around his palm. "Okay, we won't go out."

A commotion soon broke out outside the inn.

Qi Feng, Wang Xuan Ling, and Shen Qin had long since come out. Adding the guards under the Marquis of Pingxi's command, they thought that dealing with the black-clothed men wouldn't be too difficult.

But not long after exchanging blows, he discovered that he had still underestimated his opponent.

There were dozens of people here, and they were all top experts.

Looks like this time, People from the Divine Artefact Hall really wanted to put them to death.

To be exact, they were here for Yan Yuan.

The majority of them left behind to deal with Wang Xuan Ling and the rest, while the other half rushed towards the direction of the house.

It was very obvious that they knew where Yan Yuan was.

Liu Ruo Qing's heart tensed up, when she thought about the poison in Yan Yuan's body, she knew that she must not take any more actions, and in her heart, her heart still trembled.

She pulled Yan Yuan in front of her and looked at him with a stern expression.

"Qing Er..."

He clearly knew that Yan Yuan wouldn't agree to her request, so he didn't even plan to fake it.

Since he couldn't agree to her request, there was no need for him to lie to her anymore.

"I'm begging you …"

Liu Ruo Qing's voice, was trembling and a layer of mist floated above her eyes.

Yan Yuan's heart ached from the pain.

He had never seen her beg him in such a way before, with such despair, such despair, repeating it over and over in front of his eyes.

"Qing …"

Just as Yan Yuan was about to speak, the black-clothed men rushed in.

Liu Ruo Qing did not care about what she said, picked up the sword that Yan Yuan had hung by the bedside and rushed towards them.

Liu Ruo Qing's martial arts were not considered low, but it would not be easy for him to deal with these experts from the Shen Ji Hall s. Or rather, if Yan Yuan did not take action now, it would be impossible to take care of these people.

This was not Liu Ruo Qing's first time fighting with the People from the Divine Artefact Hall. Previously in the capital, in order to protect Yun Jiao Rong, she had fought with the People from the Divine Artefact Hall a few times.

Their skills might not be Liu Ruo Qing's match in a one on one battle, but with four or five of these people working together, it would already be difficult for Liu Ruo Qing to deal with them.

Moreover, there were almost twenty people here, excluding the forty people outside.

While Liu Ruo Qing was dealing with them, she was even more worried about Yan Yuan.

She was most afraid that Yan Yuan would make his move.

Qi Feng and the rest were dragged by the dozens of people outside, and were unable to split themselves to come in.

It seems that these people were forcing Yan Yuan to take action, and knew that Yan Yuan was poisoned.

At the moment, Liu Ruo Qing could only concentrate on handling these people, she could not be distracted with Yan Yuan at all.

Yan Yuan stood in place and did not move. Liu Ruo Qing's gaze earlier, kept repeating in his mind.

He didn't have the heart to reject her. As long as she could handle it now, he would let her deal with it. As long as Qi Feng and the others came in, their danger would be resolved.

But even so, his fists were already clenched tightly.

Liu Ruo Qing had to deal with them for a while, but in the end, he still could not cope with them.

Seeing them rush towards Yan Yuan, Liu Ruo Qing panicked. In a panic, she lost her focus and the sword in her hand dropped to the ground.

To Yan Yuan, these people were not too much of a threat, but the biggest threat was the poison in his body.

Even if these people couldn't kill him, forcing him to use force was inevitable.

"Yan Yuan!"

Liu Ruo Qing shouted in shock, at that moment, even if Yan Yuan wanted to avoid fighting, he would not be able to.

The twenty odd men surrounded Yan Yuan in the middle, giving him no chance to prepare, and rushed forward.

Killing intent surfaced in Yan Yuan's eyes.

In two or three moves, he had seized the swords in their hands. His actions were crisp and decisive, ruthless and accurate.

Liu Ruo Qing could tell that these people did not really come to kill Yan Yuan. They were only trying to force Yan Yuan to do something and increase the poison in his body.

But right at this moment, Yan Yuan actually activated his poison.

His hands suddenly stopped moving. He subconsciously covered his chest, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out from his mouth.

"Yan Yuan!"

Liu Ruo Qing cried out in shock. Without thinking about anything else, she immediately rushed up and blocked that palm strike for Yan Yuan.

The blow was so heavy that she spat out blood.

She hugged Yan Yuan tightly and did not let go, but her actions just now, had completely scared Yan Yuan senseless, and his heart had been viciously slapped.

For a moment, he even thought that if she died, he would immediately commit suicide to accompany her.

"Qing Er!"

His voice was trembling with fear, and the pain in his heart was also completely filled with fear.

"Qing Er... Qing Er... "

Liu Ruo Qing held Yan Yuan's body tightly, the blood at the corner of her mouth covered Yan Yuan's ears, and said: "Don't … "Don't move."

When they saw Liu Ruo Qing block that palm strike for Yan Yuan, they were stunned for a moment and stood in place without moving.

The few of them looked at each other, feeling troubled.

"The Young Lord said that we can't hurt this woman. What should we do now?"

"Let's go back first. We've achieved our goal."

Yan Yuan didn't even care about their conversation, his entire mind was focused on Liu Ruo Qing.

"Qing Er, let go of me first. Let me see.
