At this moment, the scene of the night sky passing through Shui Qingyan's mind disappeared in an instant, replaced by a blank slate in her brain. She never thought that she would be able to escape this calamity, nor did she expect that the one who gave her hope would be Chu Chen.

Ding Yuanhao looked at Chu Chen who was grabbing Shui Qingyan with one hand and turning the soft sword with the other, causing a bloody rain to fall wherever he passed, and the expression in Liu Hai's eyes slowly recovered back to normal.

He was a little suspicious, could it be that Chu Chen's personality had changed in these five years as well? Chu Chen, who always disliked women, actually took the initiative to save Shui Qingyan, and from the tone of his voice, it was as if this wasn't the first time they had interacted.

After a while, Shui Qingyan regained her senses, and her surroundings became quiet.

The corpses of the black clothed man were lying on the ground. They were all killed in one move without a trace of pain.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Chu Chen released the hand on Shui Qingyan's waist.

Shui Qingyan also let go of the hand that was grabbing onto Chu Chen's clothes. Then, she took three steps back, raised her empty eyes, and looked at Chu Chen.

Chu Chen seemed to be able to feel Shui Qingyan's gaze. If not for the unfocused eyes that shone into his pupils, he would even have suspected that Shui Qingyan's eyes had not recovered.

Suddenly, Shui Qingyan smiled slightly: "Because prince said before, before prince died, I would live."

Chu Chen's face was ashen, he did not know how to describe Shui Qingyan. She could definitely use Ding Yuanhao as a shield, and even ifhe did not use Ding Yuanhao as a shield, she could still rely on Ding Yuanhao's strength to persevere for a while longer, even though Ding Yuanhao would probably be heavily injured that way.

But she would rather choose to face danger herself than to let something happen to Ding Yuanhao because of her. Should he praise her for her sentiments and loyalty, or should he praise her for her benevolence!

Another rushing wind sound came from afar, Shui Qingyan's ears were sharp enough to hear it, and she immediately said: "Someone is coming."

Ding Yuanhao was carefully wiping his axe, and was surprised at the moment, but after listening carefully, he heard the sound of someone coming over, and immediately looked at Shui Qingyan, and continued to wipe his axe, the person did not have any killing intent, but was very anxious.

Chu Chen looked at Shui Qingyan's smiling face and slowly spoke: "Next time, maybe I won't be so lucky."

After Chu Chen finished speaking, Liuyi also rushed over. Liuyi's eyes swept across the corpses lying around, and looked at Chu Chen with worry, and then looked at Shui Qingyan who was standing in front of him covered in blood, and spoke: "Master!"

"Give me another chance to choose, and I'll do the same." Shui Qingyan smiled faintly. Maybe Chu Chen could ignore the death of others, but she, Shui Qingyan, could not. She could use her hands to behead her enemies, but she would never abandon her savior in the face of death.

Chu Chen looked at Shui Qingyan's smiling face, and slightly narrowed her eyes: "Just to save someone you don't know?"

The wind blew away the wild smell of blood.

Liuyi could clearly feel an indescribable atmosphere surrounding his master.

Ding Yuanhao who was wiping his pair of axe, stopped what he was doing, as he could also feel an unusual smell flowing in the air.

"I gave my back to him. He didn't abandon me, so it was worth it for me to risk my life to save him. It has nothing to do with whether he is a beggar or a prince." Shui Qingyan was still smiling faintly, "Moreover, he already saved my life before, and I owe him my life."

When Ding Yuanhao heard it, he stood there in a daze. In the eyes behind Liu Hai'er, there was only Shui Qingyan smiling.

'He didn't abandon me, so it's worth it for me to risk my life to save him.'

She knew very well why he had appeared, but she gave him such unconditional trust!

He felt that he had gotten drunk again tonight. First, he saw the Fourth Miss of the Shui clan kill people without blinking an eye, then he heard her honest and straightforward words. He felt that the previous Shui Qingyan had completely turned over in his heart.

Hearing Shui Qingyan's words, Chu Chen's eyes turned cold, and his lips curved into a smile: "He saved you, so you want to repay him with your life?"

Ding Yuanhao felt that he was completely drunk. In his memory, Chu Chen had always been a zombie, there had never been such a smiley face.

Ding Yuanhao immediately cast his gaze back at Shui Qingyan.

What was the relationship between Chu Chen and her?

Hearing Chu Chen's words, Shui Qingyan laughed and shook her head: "Of course not, if I could live, who would want to die? In that case, I will not choose to implicate anyone. Even if I die, I will choose to repay today's debt. "

On the flexible sword in Chu Chen's hand, a drop of blood flowed down along the sword tip, and then dripped onto an unknown little blade of grass.

Liuyi looked at Chu Chen, then looked at Shui Qingyan, and finally, his gaze stopped on Chu Chen. He swallowed his saliva, and then, he looked at Shui Qingyan.

"Fourth Miss, no need to be too grateful. I only saved you because I was keeping my promise." Ding Yuanhao wiped off his dual axes, then turned around.

"May I have your name?" Shui Qingyan laughed as she turned her head towards the Double Axe Man. She must find a chance to test the relationship between this person and the Yu Niang.

The Yu Niang was already over thirty years old, and this person's voice sounded to be around twenty years old, so she should not be the Yu Niang's lover. If she was not the one she liked, then there were two possible ways for him to use this relationship.

Ding Yuanhao's footsteps paused for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth. "Yuan Hao."

"Shui Qingyan." Shui Qingyan replied with a smile.

Yuan Hao did not say anything. Carrying his double-edged axe, he tiptoed and flew up. He had already completed tonight's task.

Not long after, Ding Yuanhao's footsteps disappeared in Shui Qingyan's ears.

Over here.

Chu Chen looked at Shui Qingyan, and retracted the faint smile on his face, as a strange light flashed in his eyes. After a long while, he turned around and passed the sword to Liuyi. He opened his mouth and said without any emotion in his voice, "I will send you back to your residence."

Shui Qingyan did not refuse, because she could not see with her eyes. Someone had to point her in the right direction.

Chu Chen took large strides, with Liuyi following closely behind. Using the sound of their footsteps, Shui Qingyan determined the direction of their footsteps.

However, because of the injuries all over her body, Shui Qingyan walked very slowly, and in a moment she was far away.

"prince, can you walk a little slower?" Shui Qingyan felt that Chu Chen's footsteps was getting further and further away.

Chu Chen pursed his lips and frowned, as if he didn't know what was going on, and increased his pace.

Seeing that Chu Chen did not have any intention to stop and wait for her, Shui Qingyan stopped in her tracks. Since he didn't want to send her back, she wouldn't force him.

Chu Chen seemed to know that Shui Qingyan had stopped in his tracks.

Liuyi turned to look at the laughing Shui Qingyan. Fourth Miss Shui was injured all over, Master had rushed over even without caring about the danger to her body, wasn't it to save Fourth Miss Shui? Why did she have the intention of not caring about Fourth Miss Shui then?

"Follow me." Chu Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for Shui Qingyan to hear.

"Since prince doesn't want to send me back, there's no need to force it." Shui Qingyan said with a bland smile.

Chu Chen frowned: "Like you said, I don't want to send you back." With that, he disappeared.

Seeing that his master had left, Liuyi couldn't help but sigh. He thought that his master had taken a fancy to the Fourth Miss of the Shui Clan, but he had thought too much into it.

Liuyi instantly could not think of how to describe Shui Qingyan, because according to the legends, the Fourth Miss of the Water Branch had no brains and was extremely barbaric and arrogant. However, to use the words' barbaric and arrogant, chest without brain 'to describe the person in front of him, wasn't that a bit inappropriate.

Liuyi gave one last glance at Shui Qingyan, then followed the footsteps of his master and flew away.

Shui Qingyan stood in place, and the smile on her face slowly faded.

Chu Chen saved her, so she should be grateful for his saving her, but Shui Qingyan knew that Chu Chen had other plans for saving her, and since he had other plans, he wouldn't let her die so easily.

As for Yuan Hao, to Shui Qingyan, Yu Niang who was guarding his mother's last words and Yuan Hao who was complying with some promise were the same.

Shui Qingyan heaved a long sigh of relief. At this moment, she felt that living was a wonderful thing.

Right now, Shui Qingyan could only roughly guess where she was, and the direction that Chu Chen and the rest were leaving towards was the official road, so she continued to head towards that direction.

Returning to the carriage, Phoenix Yaoling slowly stopped cultivating as well. That pale white lips showed that she had spent a lot of effort to force the poison out.

Phoenix Yaoling who had opened his eyes raised his eyes to look at the depressed Chu Chen, and then gloated: "Have you gotten angry at Shui Qingyan again?"

Chu Chen ignored him.

"Hehe, those who come out to mess around, they have to pay back. Then this servant will help me take revenge." Phoenix Yaoling looked at Chu Chen's depressed expression with a smile. She didn't understand why Chu Chen was so depressed.

"What's wrong, where's Shui Qingyan?" Phoenix Yaoling originally thought that Liuyi would bring Shui Qingya over, but in the end, only Liuyi came back, "Something has happened?"

"She needs a lesson." Chu Chen slowly looked at the mouth, "Liuyi, drive over there."

After Liuyi heard this, he swung his horsewhip and started to drive the carriage.

Liuyi felt that his feelings were quite accurate. The Young Noble had never changed his mood because of a woman, but if the Fourth Miss Shui managed to do it, did that mean the Young Noble treated Fourth Miss Shui differently?

On the other side, Shui Qingyan felt her way over to where she was headed, when suddenly, the clop of a horse's hoof could be heard.

Shui Qingyan frowned, this group of people were truly haunting him like ghosts. From the way they beat their horses and the direction they were at, Shui Qingyan knew who they were.

Just as expected, the group of people were heading towards the Sixth Senior Servant's tomb, and the people who had come were the people of the Eighteen Strongholds.

Shui Qingyan was currently on top of a small hill, there wasn't any concealment.

March's field, cold-resistant plants green and long.

Shui Qingyan who was standing there, appeared in everyone's eyes at first glance.

Shui Qingyan clenched her fists.
