Xiao Jingyue was stunned by her roar, and the jealousy that drove him away slowly returned back to normal.

The hostility surrounding his body slowly dissipated. He looked at her red face and his eyes gradually became clear. After a long while, he finally said hoarsely, "I didn't …"

"You do!"

"…"

"You have you! You have you!"

"…"

"Just now, you swore to God Chi You that you would believe me, you liar! Liar! "

"…"

The more Qu Ling spoke, the more wronged he became. He huffed and puffed as he looked around him, and when he saw the kettle bottle on the ground from the corner of his eyes, he immediately grabbed it and threw it at Xiao Jingyue.

Just as Xiao Jingyue caught the water bottle, she raised her head and saw the person in front of her running away.

He sighed helplessly and threw away the water bottle, quickly chasing after her.

What he didn't have time to tell her just now was that her old acquaintance and those assassins weren't just a group of people, their status was even higher than the group of Death Soldiers.

He carefully thought back to the details on the way here. The group of assassins were indeed coming for him, but against Qu Ling, they did not want to kill him.

The sword that was slashing towards Qu Ling at the shrine was not meant to take his life, but only to stop Qu Ling from finding Qu Ci.

If that was not the case, how could Qu Ling, who was slow and clumsy, dodge Qu Ci's warning?

Later, when she was kidnapped by that man in black, those assassins no longer had any scruples. Later, when they fought with him, they would use moves to take his life.

She said the man in black was an old acquaintance of hers.

It seemed that his guess was correct.

The old acquaintance she spoke of wanted his life, yet wanted to protect her.

Xiao Jingyue took a deep breath. Even though he still had some doubts in his heart, he did not want to discuss this matter that would lead to conflict with her.

He quickly caught up to her and held her hand without saying a word. No matter how hard she struggled, he didn't let go of her hand. He led her deeper into the forest, intending to find a place to rest.

"Why are you holding my hand? Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?!"

"Shut up."

"I'm not going to shut up. Bite me!"

"…"

Xiao Jingyue couldn't bear it any longer and pulled her into his embrace, then gently bit her lips.

Qu Ling, "..."

She glared at him angrily, cursing him for being shameless.

Because he was worried about Qu Ci's safety and what Xiao Jingyue had just said, Qu Ling did not say anything else along the way.

Xiao Jingyue tilted his head and looked at her, then said softly, "Don't worry, Grandma will be fine."

Qu Ling heard and drooped his head.

"When we came out, the Xiao Er had already sent out a signal, and before long, the guards from the Southern Guarding Prince Palace, who were guarding five kilometers away from the village, would rush over."

Hearing this, Qu Ling finally raised his head and looked at him, "Palace's guards?"

When did she come? Why didn't she know?

Xiao Jingyue glanced at the several circles of silver on her neck, and said indifferently: "Madam, if not, where do you think you would have gotten all the silver from, and the 10 jin of silver on you?"

Thinking about the money that he had spent, Qu Ling felt his heart ache.

She clutched her chest and cursed, "You prodigal thing!"

She was so angry that she wanted to hit him, but when she thought of his injuries, she didn't know if they were light or serious. She had already raised her hand, so she didn't continue to hit him.

He was injured because he was protecting her, and she wasn't an ungrateful person.

Because of this, he suspected Chu Yu and even suspected her, but she wasn't angry at all.

No matter what, he had protected her on the way here.

Seeing her conflicted appearance, where she wanted to make a move but couldn't bear to do so, Xiao Jingyue only felt that it was a little funny in the bottom of his heart.

A girl like her, who couldn't control her emotions even if she had a little movement in her heart, definitely didn't seem to be in the same group as those assassins.

In the days she had been with him, she clearly had countless opportunities to make a move, but she didn't.

Just by this alone, he could trust her.

Just like what he said when he swore in front of Chi You, he didn't believe in gods or buddhas, neither did he believe ghosts or gods, but he was willing to believe in her.

Now that he saw that she had angered him to death for the sake of the silver, he didn't try to flaunt his wealth anymore. He said softly, "Once in a lifetime, why not?"

Whether it is "life" or "once", it is not an extraordinary word to open it up. However, if they were mixed together, the meaning would truly be incredible.

She restrained her anger and stared at him. "You …"

The clouds finally dispersed, and the clear and cold moonlight once again scattered down, illuminating the man's handsome face as well as his pair of eyes that glittered with flowing light. "I what?"

Qu Ling had no resistance against the man's beauties, and his brain crashed in an instant.

She stared blankly at the man in front of her. After opening her mouth for a long time, she was unable to utter a single word.

In the quiet forest, there was a sudden gust of wind that rustled the leaves of the trees. It gently pulled up the girl's red skirt, drawing a soft and beautiful arc.

The man lowered his head and hid half of his face in the darkness, looking at her captivating red face. The light in his eyes gradually settled, replaced by an unfathomably deep and rich light.

It was a wedding that was neither funny nor funny. She had been kidnapped by someone in his arms and he had killed her out of anger. Now, they were once again standing face to face.

The day's experience was daunting and colorful.

He had lived for more than twenty years, and even though he was trapped in a dangerous battlefield, he had never felt such a sense of danger.

Fortunately, she was safe and sound and he had found her.

He asked in a calm voice, "What do you have to say to me?"

Just as Qu Ling struggled out of the beauty, she heard the person in front of her say this, and for a moment, she did not know how to react.

After a while, she stammered out a sentence, "Your wounds are still bleeding. You need to bandage them as soon as possible."

Xiao Jingyue, "..."

He clenched his fist tightly, trying to suppress some emotion that was on the verge of bursting out of his chest. He asked again, "Other than this, do you have anything else to say?"

"I …"

"Hmm?"

In the face of his almost forceful question and the way he was staring at her, she didn't know why, but a ridiculous and frightening idea suddenly popped into her head.

This absurd and terrifying idea caused an unprecedented feeling of panic to rise from the bottom of her heart.

Could it be that Xiao Jingyue had a crush on her?
