C25 (1/2)

Mister Qin's bright eyes seemed to dim for a moment, then he quickly smiled and said: ”I have patience. Ling Yun, I will wait for you to change your mind.”

As he spoke, the purple-clothed, white-haired man held his zither in one hand as he left in a carefree manner.

After the battle ended, Ling Yun's defensive aura finally loosened. She slowly floated to the ground in front of Ruo Lan, and warmly asked: ”Ruo Lan, are you alright?”

Although Ruo Lan's first impression of her wasn't very good, Ruo Lan was moved by her protection. She nodded like a chick pecking rice. ”I'm fine. Sister Ruo Lan, are you hurt?”

Lingyun followed her line of sight and looked down. Only then did he see that his right arm was already dripping with blood. She did not even frown as she said with the same ice-cold expression: ”It's just a small wound.”

Ruo Lan jumped out of the ring and nervously said, ”I lost so much blood, how can it not hurt? ”Come, let me bandage it for you.”

As he said that, he walked forward and pulled Lingyun to sit at the edge of the porch that was not damaged yet. He quickly opened the medicine box and began to bandage Lingyun's wounds with his hands and feet.

Lingyun's lips moved. He wanted to tell her that the deities that were injured had the ability to self-heal, but this time, they were injured by the divine power of the same rank, so their recovery would be slower. The herbs she used to treat mortals were completely useless against him.

However, looking at her concerned eyes, she could not say those words out loud. She felt a bit of warmth in her heart.

Ruo Lan skillfully wrapped Ling Yun's right hand, exhaled, and said: ”Alright! You want to try and see if you can move? ”

Lingyun moved and smiled: ”Sure enough, bandaging is much better now, thanks.”

This time the smile was no longer icy cold and estranged.

Ruo Lan scratched her head in embarrassment. ”You were all injured to protect me, I'm sorry.” But, big sister Ruo Lan, big brother Xiao Qi, can any of you tell me why they want to kill me? ”

Ling Yun looked at the ring, and his gaze became ice-cold again.

The disgruntled expression remained the same: ”I don't know, I don't know if Fairy Ling Yun knew or not?”

Ling Yun raised a faint smile, and shook his head: ”Ruo Lan, I was only ordered to protect you, as for why the enemy hurt you, I don't know either.”

Ruo Lan looked distressed: ”You are all immortals, why must you go through so much trouble with me, a mere mortal? Aren't you thinking too highly of me? ”

No one answered her, Lingyun raised his eyebrows and asked: ”The crescent moon blade is the most precious treasure of the devil race, it can cut one's hair just by blowing it. But since the Demon World was sealed ten thousand years ago, this crescent moon blade has also disappeared.

He calmly replied, ”Is that so? So it's called a crescent moon-shaped blade? Actually, I picked it up one morning when I was taking a walk on the Thousand Buddha Mountain from under a Buddha statue. ”It flew out of my control just now. Fairy, can you tell me how to use this blade? Is there any special effect?”

His expression, which was filled with humility and a desire to learn, was actually unfathomable to Ling Yun.

Lingyun suspiciously sized up the displeasure, but unwittingly said: ”Oh yeah, I just saw that when Mr. Qin left, the strings were stained with blood.”

Ling Yun's brows twitched, and asked in surprise: ”Really?”

He didn't miss the expression on her face and calmly replied, ”He seems to be seriously injured, but why doesn't he want us to know?”

Ling Yun's face changed a few times, and finally clenched his teeth, and replied: ”I want to follow and see, can you protect Ruo Lan?”

He nodded in displeasure: ”No problem. You can go.”

Lingyun released his long sword and stood on it. He followed Mr. Qin's aura and rode away.

The Chen family's garden was a mess. The servants and maids who had been stunned a moment ago regained their senses, and immediately, a clamor of noise arose.

Chen Shaobai quickly walked over from the pavilion, and subconsciously grabbed onto Ruo Lan's hand and asked, ”Miss Hua, you're not hurt, right?”

Ruo Lan dodged his hand and smiled: ”I am fine. Thank you, Young Master Chen. It's just that I'm really sorry for the great disaster that has befallen your garden. ”

Chen Shaobai waved his hand and said in a leisurely manner, ”Don't worry about such a small matter. Those people, who were they? Flower girl, what trouble have you gotten yourself into? If there is anything you need help with, please do not hesitate to tell me. Even if I have to go through thick and thin, I will not refuse! ”

Chen Shaobai's eyes were clear and his voice was gentle. Yet, such a direct confession caused Ruo Lan to blush. She lowered her head and spoke with a voice as soft as a mosquito's, ”Many thanks, Young Master Chen. I appreciate your kindness.”

He gritted his teeth in hatred as he looked at Ruo Lan's expression.

This girl really wished that she could marry him immediately. She even came over early in the morning to ask him for his opinion on this marriage. She was clearly here to flaunt her might.

”Haha, little girl, this time you're dead!”

A white silhouette descended from the sky, its sword light aimed straight at Ruo Lan.

Along with that arrogant laughter, the three of them lifted their heads simultaneously, only to see Mo Bai, who had already escaped a moment ago, returning once more.

”Ruo Lan, run!”

Chen Shaobai didn't even think before standing in front of Ruo Lan to protect her. Ruo Lan saw him standing in front of her, his face pale, his legs shaking, even his voice trembling.

At this moment, Ruo Lan's heart shuddered as a warm feeling rose from the bottom of her heart.

Behind him, the old man coldly snorted. Without even seeing his movements, the crescent moon blade flew out from his hand. ”Puchi ~ ~” It pierced towards Mo Bai's chest.

The crescent moon blade returned into Mo Bai's body, and the body of Mo Bai, who was still in the air, was sliced into two. Before the long sword even touched Ruo Lan, he was already dead.

As the broken body flew up to the ground, Chen Shaobai protected Ruo Lan. The two of them took a step back at the same time, their faces turning pale.

All of this happened in a very short period of time. He took a step forward and elegantly picked up the crescent moon blade. He wiped off the blood on it and then calmly put it away.
