C105

Rong Xi's expression tensed, the person in his embrace quickly took a few steps back.

The dangerous streak of sword-light flashed past.

However, before he could stand still, the sword aura had already come forward.

However, this time around, it was not as fierce as the last time. It was as if they were afraid of hurting the person in his embrace.

Seeing that, Rong Xi's eyes flashed.

After his body was sluggish for a moment, he carried Qu Ling and walked forward.

Qu Ling widened his eyes in shock and blurted out: "Gu Xi, you bastard!"

Bastard, he was actually using her as a shield!

"Ah Ling!" The person called out worriedly.

Qu Ling was startled, he raised his head and looked, the first thing that came into his eyes was a bamboo green figure.

Immediately after, was Murong Yan's slightly pale face.

Qu Ling opened his mouth: "Murong …"

Rong Xi continuously retreated while holding onto Qu Ling. As long as Murong Yan got closer, would be held back.

As a result, Murong Yan was afraid of accidentally injuring Qu Ling.

Seeing that Rong Xi was leading him further and further away, Qu Ling felt both angry and anxious.

If she had something she could fight back with, she wouldn't be so passive.

Causing Murong Yan to be so passive.

The cold wind was as sharp as knives, causing her face to be stiff and painful. She couldn't bear it any longer and said, "If you keep shaking, I'm going to puke!"

Rong Xi's face changed slightly as he threatened: "If you dare to spit it out, I'll throw you off the roof!"

But how could Qu Ling be so easily threatened? He yelled at her fearlessly: "Go ahead and throw it away, go ahead and throw it away!"

"…" She clutched Rong Xi's neck tightly, nearly choking him up.

Such a pestering woman, who knows where Xiao Jingyue and the one behind her had set their sights on her!

Rong Xi gritted his teeth for a while, but he was still able to endure his anger.

The night was already deep, and the city gates were already closed. If it was Rong Xi alone, he could easily get out.

But right now, he was carrying an injured Qu Ling in his arms, and he himself was also severely injured, so he could only find a place with fewer people.

The person behind her was still in hot pursuit. Rong Xi landed on the ground with Qu Ling in his arms and gently put her down.

He turned his head and glanced back. From his sleeve, he lightly blew a small bone flute.

"Let him go!" Murong Yan caught up, and stood a few meters away, pointing his sword at Rong Xi.

Rong Xi curled his lips, placed the small bone flute on top of Qu Ling's throat, and laughed: "Is it not faster than me, or is it Young Noble Murong's sword?"

Qu Ling was so angry that his heart beat faster and faster, causing his face to turn pale white.

If it wasn't for Rong Xi's hand still supporting her waist, she would not be able to stand steadily.

Murong Yan suddenly put down his sword, and looked behind Rong Xi, his face revealing a look of astonishment: Chu Yu?

Rong Xi furrowed his brows, a cold light quickly flashed past his eyes. The bone flute in his hand moved closer to Qu Ling's skin, and said with a cold smile: "This kind of clumsy trick …"

His words stopped there, and his entire body suddenly froze.

To be precise, he had been pierced through from behind and was unable to move.

Murong Yan seized the opportunity and went up, snatching Qu Ling from his embrace.

He did not know that Qu Ling was injured, so he moved a little too fiercely, causing Qu Ling's heart to feel as if it was being torn apart.

"Ah Ling!" Murong Yan's face changed slightly, and he immediately bent down to pick her up.

Chu Yu who was dressed in black walked out from behind Rong Xi, looked at him and asked.

Rong Xi innocently blinked her eyes, and used a female voice to feign a wronged tone to tell him: "Brother, I didn't touch her."

Murong Yan's hand was on Qu Ling's pulse, and after a moment, he looked at her heart.

Qu Ling saw that his expression was strange, and said weakly: "This matter, is a long story."

The meaning behind his words was that he didn't need to ask anything at the moment.

Murong Yan did not ask her, but coldly looked at Rong Xi, "The Jade Scorpion can't get close to her, are you doing this?"

Rong Xi laughed: "Sir Murong, don't slander me, I didn't do anything."

Just then, the person Rong Xi summoned with his bone flute appeared.

He looked at the motionless Rong Xi, and then looked at Chu Yu who was standing beside Rong Xi.

After a moment of hesitation, he knelt down in front of the two, "Young Lord, Second Young Lord."

At the same time, four black-clothed men soundlessly appeared behind Murong Yan, their hands holding onto the hilt of their swords as they vigilantly looked at Rong Xi and the rest.

Murong Yan suddenly looked at Chu Yu.

Chu Yu immediately avoided his gaze like a thief, and lightly patted his shoulder, "Be more honest."

Rong Xi glanced at the hand on his shoulder, his gaze flickering.

After a while, he snorted heavily and said, "It's nothing. I just put something in her hair."

Qu Ling, "..."

She struggled to get out of Murong Yan's embrace, bared her teeth and said, "Murong, let me down, I want to die together with him!"

So it was because of him!

If not for him, Xiao Jingyue would never have had the chance to use the Gu in advance.

How could she mutilate herself!?

Murong Yan anxiously carried her, and his cold gaze once again fell on Rong Xi's body.

The hand holding the sword moved.

Chu Yu moved his body slightly, blocking in front of Rong Xi, and said with an embarrassed look: "Can you spare me this one time?

"Brother!"

Rong Xi's beautiful face, which was originally smiling merrily, instantly darkened.

The gaze it used to look at Murong Yan was as though it wanted to slice him into a thousand pieces.

Hearing Chu Yu's words, Qu Ling stopped in his tracks.

Chu Yu had helped her at Qi Jing and saved her when they were at Miao Boundary.

She didn't repay his gratitude, she couldn't possibly go against him.

Therefore, he tugged on Murong Yan's sleeve and said: "Forget it, let's go."

If he saw that person in the future, it wouldn't be too late to beat him to death.

Murong Yan lowered his head to look at Qu Ling, and gently nodded.

Seeing that, Chu Yu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and cupped his hands to him, saying: "Thank you."

He paused before continuing, "See you later. There will be a period of time."

After speaking, he bent over and carried his younger brother on his shoulders.

With a few leaps, he leapt into the darkness.

The man called out by Rong Xi immediately followed him.

Murong Yan did not linger, and after giving the black clothed men behind him a look, he brought Qu Ling and left.

Only, he didn't send Qu Ling back to the General Mansion nor did he bring her back to the South Wind House. Instead, he took her near to the South Wind House branch that was about to open on the east street.

The one called over by Murong Yan to guard the shop was Shuang Xue, the person whom he had met once before.

Murong Yan said to Shuang Xue: "Inform General Mansion, he is here."

Shuang Xue looked at the pale-faced, bloodless Qu Ling in his arms, and without asking any more questions, she immediately left.

The pattern of this South Wind House was similar to that on the western street. Murong Yan brought Qu Ling up to the third floor.

After kicking off one of the rooms, he walked in and gently placed her on the bed.

Squatting beside the couch, Jin frowned and asked in a low voice, "Does it still hurt?"

The location of the injury was hard to describe, so he couldn't rashly check it out, so he could only ask her.

Qu Ling shook his head, "I'm better now, I'm fine."

She only felt pain and did not smell any blood. It seemed like the wound had not split open yet.

And this was all thanks to the good medicine that Li Chenxuan had given her. Otherwise, her wounds wouldn't have been able to bear the torture so easily.

Murong Yan also did not smell the stench of blood, and quietly heaved a sigh of relief.

He went to the side of the table and poured her a cup of water and took out a bottle of pills from his sleeves, poured one out and fed it to Qu Ling.

Qu Ling covered up the pill and took a deep breath.

The two of them were speechless for a moment.

Murong Yan returned to the table with the empty cup and sat down, quietly watching over her.

Qu Ling actually had a lot of things he wanted to say to him, but he didn't know where to start.

In the silence, Shuang Xue returned.

She stood outside the door and whispered, "General Xiao is here."
