Chapter 55 The Flower Protector Has Arrived
Chapter 55 The Flower Protector Has Arrived
On Qiu Ziyue's white dress, bright red blood slowly seeped from the shoulder.
Like a flower slowly opening, from a small bud to a full bloom.
Qiu Ziyue closed her eyes as Qi Yuxuan's longsword pierced her shoulder.
Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Ziyue stood before the crowd like fossils.
"Brother Yuxuan, why is this?"
Yin Lihen quickly said.
"Junior sister, what's wrong? Why didn't you move away?" Qiu Langyu said, helping Qiu Ziyue up.
"Young Master Qi, you've gone too far!"
Qiu Wentian also rushed over.
"Qi Yuxuan, you bastard, how dare you hurt my junior sister!" Qiu Wenfeng drew his sword.
"puff",
With another sound, Qiu Ziyue took a step back, and the long sword in Qi Yuxuan's hand had already left Qiu Ziyue's body.
The blood from Qiu Ziyue's shoulder flowed deeper, quickly soaking the white dress on her shoulder red.
Upon seeing this, the three senior brothers all drew their swords, intending to duel with Qi Yuxuan.
Qiu Ziyue hurriedly said:
"Please stop, senior brothers. Let's leave it at that. We can discuss right and wrong later."
Upon seeing this, the three senior brothers stepped forward to check on Qiu Ziyue's injuries.
Qiu Langyu immediately took out a pill from his pocket and gave it to Qiu Ziyue to prevent her from losing her vital energy due to continuous bleeding.
Qi Yuxuan was stunned. He looked at Qiu Ziyue and asked:
"With your martial arts skills, you could have easily avoided it. Why didn't you dodge?"
Qiu Ziyue's face was pale, but her eyes were unusually firm.
"Consider this sword strike as repayment for the life you saved Tao Ling'er back then..."
Upon hearing Qiu Ziyue mention this, his eyes were filled with doubt.
“I did save her, but why should you be the one to suffer this sword wound?” Qi Yuxuan said.
Qiu Ziyue said:
"Consider it Qiu repaying Tao Ling'er for the debt of being brought back to life."
"What do you mean by 'the feeling of being resurrected'?" Qi Yuxuan asked.
Qiu Ziyue said:
"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. This is fine too. I hate owing people the most. From now on, we're even."
Qiu Ziyue's words were decisive, yet they were like a sharp blade that cut through Qi Yuxuan's heart.
Qi Yuxuan had just been gritting his teeth in hatred for Qiu Ziyue, but now he didn't know what to say.
Stabbing Qiu Ziyue was something he hadn't anticipated.
The night was as dark as ink, and the air in the courtyard was heavy and oppressive.
After Qiu Ziyue was stabbed by Qi Yuxuan, a crowd surrounded her.
Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it a faint floral fragrance.
Everyone looked up and saw a figure descending from the sky like an immortal, slowly landing beside Qiu Ziyue.
This man had a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament.
It was none other than Lu Yuanchangming, the renowned fifth most handsome man in the martial arts world and the owner of Luming Tower.
Lu Yuanchang flew to Qiu Ziyue's side, gently pushed Qi Yuxuan aside, and helped Qiu Ziyue up, his eyes full of concern and tenderness.
He asked in a low voice, "Miss Qiu, are you alright?"
Qiu Ziyue barely opened her eyes, and upon seeing the person in front of her, a slight smile appeared on her lips:
"Who are you……"
When Twilight City and the others saw Lu Yuanchangming, they all showed expressions of surprise.
Twilight City stepped forward and said softly:
"Brother Changming, it's you! Where have you been all this time? It's been so long!"
Lu Yuanchangming nodded slightly and said softly:
"I'm late, but it's not too late yet."
"Brothers, let's talk again later."
After Lu Yuanchang finished speaking, he gently helped Qiu Ziyue up, turned his gaze to Qi Yuxuan, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and said:
"You'll regret it."
Qi Yuxuan looked at Lu Yuanchangming, speechless.
Qiu Ziyue asked:
"Who are you? Are you Lu Yuanchangming?"
Lu Yuanchangming responded:
"Do you remember the letter with the arrow in the valley?"
Qiu Ziyue said:
"Is it you? You are Lu Yuanchangming, the fifth most handsome man in Yangzhou?"
Lu Yuanchangming picked up Qiu Ziyue and said softly:
"Let's leave here first. I'll take good care of you."
No sooner said than done, Lu Yuanchangming stretched out his finger and pressed an acupoint on Qiu Ziyue's chest, rendering her unable to move.
Then, with a swift movement, he soared into the air like a bird, carrying Qiu Ziyue away into the distance.
"Lu Yuanchangming, why are you hugging me? Put me down! This is outrageous!" Qiu Ziyue said.
The three senior brothers shouted:
"Quickly put my junior sister down!" So he followed her and chased after her.
This series of events shocked everyone, and they watched them leave.
Twilight City sighed and said:
"I hope Brother Changming can heal Miss Qiu's injuries as soon as possible."
Yin Lihen nodded and said in a deep voice:
"I never expected my fifth brother to be so thoughtful; he's got the air of a chivalrous protector."
Chu Yuqiu sighed:
"What hero doesn't love a beautiful woman!"
The night was as dark as ink, and the air in the courtyard remained heavy and oppressive.
Qi Yuxuan stood there, watching Lu Yuanchangming carry Qiu Ziyue away, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
"I actually... I actually hurt her..."
Qi Yuxuan muttered to himself.
He gripped the longsword tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.
Twilight City stepped forward, gently patted his shoulder, and said:
"Yu Xuan, Brother Changming's medical skills are quite advanced; he will definitely be able to cure her."
Yin Lihen also stepped forward and said:
"What, someone ran away with your bet wife? Should you go after them?"
Chu Yuqiu said to Yin Lihen:
"At this time, you're in the mood to say these things. I guess Yuxuan is also in a bad mood right now. Let's not disturb him and let him have some peace and quiet."
However, Qi Yuxuan's heart could not find peace.
Suddenly, Qi Yuxuan felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if an invisible knife was cutting into his heart.
He clutched his chest, his face as pale as paper, his eyes filled with pain.
Immediately afterwards, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, which splattered on the ground and stained the grass beneath his feet red.
Everyone was shocked to see this and rushed forward to help him.
Twilight City asked anxiously:
"Yuxuan, what's wrong? Sit down and rest!"
Qi Yuxuan shook his head, a resolute glint in his eyes:
"I shouldn't have acted so impulsively... I hurt her..." His voice grew softer and softer, filled with sorrow.
Yin Lihen quickly took out the medicine she carried with her and handed it to Qi Yuxuan:
"Take some medicine first to stabilize your body; you're suffering from a sudden attack of anger."
Qi Yuxuan took the medicine, swallowed it gently, and felt a little better.
But the pain in his heart did not lessen in the slightest.
He looked up at the sky, his cold gaze softening: "Ling'er, what exactly is going on..."
Twilight City and the others surrounded him, silently keeping him company.
Qi Yuxuan's two bodyguards had already stood up, looking somewhat regretful.
Yun Feiyang said:
“Young Valley Master, today we took the initiative to confront Miss Qi. She explained to me for a long time, but we didn’t listen. Then we started the fight. It was her little golden fox that hurt us.”
Qi Yuxuan remained silent. He was always the kind of person who, even when he felt bad, would not take it out on others.
The two guards fell silent.
They knew that at this moment, no words could truly soothe the torment in Qi Yuxuan's heart.
Where did Lu Yuanchangming take Qiu Ziyue?
