C43 (1/2)

Outside the cell, two lackeys were leaning against the wall, chatting. One of them said, ”Is that boy done yet? He's been inside for almost an hour!”

Another one chimed in, ”Let's go in and take a look.”

”Let's go.”

Clang!

After a loud noise, the door of the cell was kicked open. Xiao Qian rushed into the cell with his sword in hand. Blood dripped from the sword and dripped all over the place. It was a shocking sight to behold.

Seeing the two people who had been scared witless, Xiao Qian reached out and grabbed one of them by the neck, ”Where is he? ”Where is the girl?”

he shouted, like an angry lion, and it was frightening. The eyes of the person he was holding turned white as he pointed inside with his trembling hands.

”Eastern Ling Wan!”

Xiao Qian pushed open the cell door and slowly approached Eastern Ling Wan. However, she didn't seem to hear his call. She was hiding in a corner, her hair disheveled, her clothes half undressed, her eyes straight, her body stiff. There was a bloody hole in her head, large patches of blood on the ground, already showing signs of solidifying.

Xiao Qian gently held her shoulder as he called out, ”Dongling Wan?”

Dong Ling's body trembled violently for a moment, before she began waving her golden hairpin wildly around. The tip of the hairpin cut through Xiao Qian's black clothes and left a long wound on his collarbone. Fresh blood flowed out, staining his white undergarment red. Xiao Qian shook her body, ”Dong Ling Wan, look clearly at who I am! ”Dong Ling Wan!”

Dong Ling Wan abruptly stopped, slowly raised her head, and stared at his face. After a long while, she said with a trembling voice, ”Xiao … ”Xiao Qian.”

”Ding!” The golden hairpin dropped onto the ground with a crisp sound. Tears rolled down Xiao Qian's muddy face as he embraced her. He spoke with a gentleness that he had never shown before, ”I've come late. I've scared you.”

After half a year, he had not expected to see her again under such circumstances. He could not imagine what would happen if he did not come!

When he heard the conversation between the two lackeys outside the cell, he felt his blood freeze. He knew that he was different to her, but he had never thought that she was already so important to him!

Dong Ling Wan shrank into his embrace, obviously still having some difficulty accepting it. She stared at a certain spot, ”Xiao Qian, I've killed someone!”

Xiao Qian pressed her head against his chest. ”So be it.”

”I killed someone!”

”It's just an animal.” He gently stroked her hair to calm her uneasiness. ”If it were me, I would cut him into a thousand pieces.”

Xiao Qian didn't know how to comfort her. It wasn't easy to calm down after killing for the first time. In this regard, he was at his wit's end, and could only minimize the impact this matter had on her.

”To think that a woman would come to our Black Cloud Mountain and make a ruckus. Second Miss Dong has such great ability!”

Ma Junping brought a few dozen men to block the only way out of the cell. Both sides drew their sabers and confronted each other. The fire of war was about to erupt.

Xiao Qian laughed coldly as he took off his black robe to cover Eastern Ling Wan's body. He gently wiped away her tears, ”Wait for me here.”
