Wen Bufan fiddled with the zither key again: "Time has passed and water has passed!"
Wen Bufan's voice was cold and clear as it resonated throughout the entire land. The zither music was like a cry, transforming into a pool of water that slowly flowed in the air.
Time quietly passed in this lake. The killing intent also quietly faded away, and unknowingly, closed in.
"Awesome!" Xia Qingyue said before passing through this autumn water. Feeling that he had lost control of his body, his consciousness began to become a little blurry.
"Bastard!" This was the most unbearable torment for Xia Qingyue. Originally, he was a person who knew how to swim, but in this lakewater, he was enveloped by it. This lakewater looked clear and transparent to others, but the water surrounding Xia Qingyue, in his eyes, was completely dark.
Not only that, it was suffocating. There was not even a trace of air in the water.
He shouted loudly, wanting to rush out of the water, but he was like a person choking on water. The more he struggled, the more scared he became.
"I don't want this!" Xia Qingyue felt helpless, but it was the first time in his life that he felt fear towards the flow of life, "I can't die, I definitely can't die like this. "I'm still young, and I still have so much youth. I've never squandered much of it. I've been cultivating all this time."
Even if he bit his finger to try to awaken his consciousness, it would be to no avail.
The next moment, he found himself powerless: "Well, I lost. "I admit it."
After Xia Qingyue finished speaking, the water started to recede, and the water that was initially on top of his head turned into nothingness in an instant.
"We won, we won." The Wen's Mansion disciples cheered in their hearts as they jumped in joy. But he didn't dare to act too arrogantly. Who knew if this cold faced young lord Xia would go back on his word?
"As expected of the second place on the Hero Rankings, I admit defeat!" Xia Qingyue said sincerely. This time, all of his pride was shattered in front of the real deal. He was no longer as arrogant as he was before.
"I've heard that Young Master Xia is adept at deducing things. Did you not deduce the amount we have to offer today?" Wen Bufan said with a smile.
"Cough, cough, you're right. I have indeed deduced it, but what's strange is that I was unable to deduce the result from the trigram. This is an anomaly." Xia Qingyue mocked himself.
"Hur hur, then can we leave now?" Wen Bufan gazed at Xia Qingyue. Just as she was about to move her foot forward …
"Wait!" Xia Qingyue called out to her.
"May I ask what you have to say, Young Master Xia?" Wen Bufan tilted her head and looked at him.
"Don't misunderstand, it's best if you don't participate in Cang Du Competition." Xia Qingyue said quietly with a red face.
"Why?" Wen Bufan looked at him in surprise.
"When you just walked out, I did a deduction for you. I'm afraid something unexpected might happen if you participate in the competition." Xia Qingyue said seriously.
"Oh, so you want to stop me from participating in the competition because of me?" Wen Bufan said in shock.
"It can be said that I didn't mean it. I was asked by someone else to help me, but in the end …" Xia Qingyue blushed.
"Asked by someone? "May I ask who entrusted you with this task?" Wen Bufan asked.
He thought that on the way to the inn, there were several times that they would automatically reserve rooms for them. If it wasn't for this person secretly helping them, they probably wouldn't have been able to reach this place so smoothly.
"Hahaha, with such a beautiful woman's intelligence, I don't believe you can't guess it." Xia Qingyue said with a smile.
"Is it Sir Xia Fuhai? You are brothers? " When Wen Bufan mentioned Xia Fu, she unconsciously blushed.
Binghe Lanling and Big Yellow could see what was happening, but their hearts felt as if they had been knocked on a wall, and their hearts felt a little sour.
"Ai, it's good to be rich and have authority!" He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Beauty, you are right. We are still brothers." Xia Qingyue laughed and turned away.
If not for Brother Fuhai's consideration, I, Xia Qingyue, would chase after this woman. She is truly a peerless beauty in the world. Brothers and wives were not to be cheated.
Thank you for Young Master Xia's kind intentions. Wen Bufan cupped his hands towards him gratefully.
"Goodbye, remember, if possible, try your best not to participate in the competition. If you do, and meet Emperor Xia in person, please remember to cover your face, otherwise you will not be able to escape this calamity, remember this! Xia Qingyue said it all. Xia Qingyue turned his back and whispered into her ear.
"Thank you! Young Master Xia, please take care. " Wen Bufan said with a sound transmission.
"Let's go!" After Xia Qingyue finished, he led his men and left.
With over a thousand people scattering away like birds and beasts, after they found out that Xia Qingyue was a prince, who would dare to provoke such a ruckus?
Seeing that Xia Qingyue had really kept his promise and brought the group to leave, the Wen's Mansion disciples heaved a sigh of relief.
Only then did they start cheering, "We've won! We can compete now!"
"Oh, oh! "Oh …" They shouted as they ran towards Wen Bufan.
When they saw Wen Bufan walk over, Wen Zhishui, Wen Sang Tian, Cangji Grass, and the two Ice River brothers all heaved a sigh of relief.
"Just now was really dangerous!" Wen Sang Tian said.
"Are you alright?" The case asked in heartache.
"I'm fine!" Wen Bufan had just finished saying that she was fine, but she discovered that her body had become weak as though there was space in her body. After holding on for so long, she could finally heave a sigh of relief.
He held her in his arms and smelled her scent for the first time. He felt intoxicated and happy, standing there for a long time without moving.
"Quick, carry her to the carriage and rest for a while!" Wen Zhishui said.
"Alright!" It was only then that Grass Mushroom finally snapped out of his daze and walked forward while carrying Wen Bufan. He felt that being with her was the happiest and happiest thing in the world.
Binghe Lanling clenched his teeth in anger, "This brat is trying to take advantage of me again, just you wait, I'll definitely show you what I can do."
Wen Bufan felt very warm, very comfortable, very beautiful and very safe in her arms. She was really too tired, and when Grass Mushroom held her and carefully placed her on the carriage, she felt as if she was lying in a cradle.
Right now, she no longer needed to meddle in other things. She was enjoying an unprecedented feeling of relaxation and comfort.
The next day, when Wen Bufan woke up, she was already at another place.
It was a quiet room, and the interior was clean and clean. All the furnishings were brand-new.
Wen Bufan rubbed his eyes, "Hey, where are we? I thought I was in a carriage? "
"Aiya, you're finally awake. Do you know how long you slept for?" Liu Qingchen said with his panda eyes wide open.
"Just for one night?" Wen Bufan asked in bewilderment.
"Just for one night?" Oh, my good sister, you don't know, you've made us all so anxious, you've slept so well, it's more than one night, it's a whole month, and at the beginning we all took turns taking care of you! If you weren't still breathing, we would have thought you … Ai, let's not talk anymore. " Liu Qingchen said endlessly.
"How could I have slept so long?" Wen Bufan asked curiously.
"Yeah, we were curious, too. How did you sleep so long? Right now, we are very far from the Cang Du. They said that you were injured and couldn't suffer any bumps, so they rented a quiet room for you to rest. " Liu Qingchen said with a smile.
"It's really strange, how could I sleep so long, and there seemed to be injuries on my body, and all of them seem to have recovered? His power seems to have increased a lot as well. " Wen Bufan said in surprise.
"You slept really well this time, and it's been hard on all of us, especially that guy called Kusanagi. He always did his best to heal your wounds. He looks like he's been waiting for you for the longest time! Of course, we're not slacking, we're the ones who have to take care of you no matter what. We, we were afraid that he would also collapse from exhaustion, that's why we replaced him, oh! " Liu Qingchen said as he hurriedly covered his mouth.
Originally, she wanted to say that she also rushed to take care of Wen Bufan and paid a great price for her, but she didn't expect herself to accidentally tell him the truth.
"It's really thanks to all of you. Next, let me do something to make up for your days of fatigue, right?" Wen Bufan said with a smile.
"The young master of the case said that if we can't compete, then we don't participate, what's the big deal? Recently, I've also gotten over it. " Liu Qingchen said with a smile.
"How long until the Cang Du Competition?" Wen Bufan asked.
"It's not long, only less than ten days. Even if we travel day and night, I'm afraid that by the time we reach Cang Du, the competition will have already passed the registration period." Liu Qingchen said with regret.
"After the registration period, there will naturally be no fate with the competition. There will be no fate with the competition, so let's make do with missing out on such a treasure!"
"Hehe, my sixth uncle will definitely let cousin lead them away first, right?" Wen Bufan said with a smile.
Yes, twenty days ago, your Sixth Uncle told your cousin to bring out the Wen's Mansion disciples first, and the two Ice River brothers followed along. There was only Wen Yanxi and Grass Mushroom. Liu Qingchen said.
"Oh, what a pity, then, that you won't be able to get the Emperor Xia's treasures." Wen Bufan said with a smile.
With so many people participating in the competition, my strength is not that great. Even if I participated, perhaps I would only be the foil to them. Hehe, I'm able to be together with you, that's the most important thing. Liu Qingchen said with a smile.
"She's even more intimate than my sister in Wen's Mansion! Thank you! " Wen Bufan laughed as she rubbed her hair.
