Tai Yan only snorted coldly and used her hand to block the attack. But she did not expect the blade to change its direction, stabbing into the hind legs of the horse. With a blade stuck in its leg, the crisp sound of the horse’s bones could be heard as it collapsed in pain. Tai Yan, unprepared for this feint, lost her balance.
Her adaptability was naturally top-notched. With a tilt, she was already in the air, yet she still held tightly onto Yao Xun. ng Fuyao lifted her hand and quickly flew to a bamboo plant and stuck sothing on there. Curious, Tai Yan subconsciously wanted to see but due to her height, she could not. So she could only step on Yao Xun to fly higher, and in that instant, she felt a gust of wind under her feet. ng Fuyao had already rushed over and grabbed Yao Xun.
Tai Yan looked up and saw that the thing stuck on the bamboo was nothing but a toothpick. She turned purple, flipped over and glared at ng Fuyao. “You are very cunning, but you are fighting with a skilled person. This is not sothing you can win rely with wits.”
ng Fuyao looked at her, grinning from ear to ear. Though this midget was very strong, it was apparent that she had a lack of experience. Since ng Fuyao’s wounds were healing and now she could wield the “Cleaving Nine Heavens” it would not be hard to end the fight with a draw.
That being said, why must they fight? Why can’t they instead make use of the ‘I will destroy everything Zhangsun Wuji has’ mindset instead?
“Say, why are you blocking the way here?” ng Fuyao laughed. “To kill ? Or to slap again? If so, why are you sprouting so much nonsense?”
“For what reason would I kill you?” replied Tai Yan emotionlessly. “I am a true disciple, unlike that Zhangsun Wuji that joined in halfway. Unless it is the enemy of the sect, I will not kill.”
ng Fuyao smiled imdiately but then heard Tai Yan adding, “I am only here to ask you to pass a ssage to Zhangsun Wuji. Teacher has sothing to tell him, ask him to listen carefully.”
Surprised, ng Fuyao asked, “His teacher is here?”
“No.”
“Then how would he know his teacher’s ssage?”
“All you have to do is pass the ssage,” retorted Tai Yan, annoyed.
“Why don’t you pass the ssage yourself?” questioned ng Fuyao, ignoring her blatant annoyance.
Tai Yan remained silent. After a while, with a murderous glare, she warned ng Fuyao, “Another question and I will really kill you.”
“Fine, fine, I shan’t ask then.” ng Fuyao shrugged her shoulders. “Miss Tai Yan, please focus on honing your skills to kill Zhangsun Wuji, stop interrupting our matters. Also, if you want to kill , go ahead. But do not barge into the palace and disrupt his Majesty, he is who I need to protect. ”
Coldly, Tai Yan spat. “Since when was it up to you to order around?” She turned to walk away and suddenly turned back. “You probably think that you will be Zhangsun Wuji’s queen?” With a strange gaze, Tai Yan looked at ng Fuyao. That erald green eyes resembled a shattered piece of jade in the abyss, bore into her soul.
“You are really pitiful.”
The gaze that penetrated ng Fuyao made her felt anxious as she pointed to herself and asked, “? Pitiful?”
Leaving an insouciant glance for ng Fuyao, she vanished. ng Fuyao stood there as she looked to the sky in shock. Suddenly, the sound of the bamboo leaves rustling, and a light fragrance wafted past her nose. Without looking back, she said, “Here you are to fetch again. I’m not a kid. Plus, look, Tai Yan didn’t manage to do anything to anyways.”
Zhangsun Wuji smiled. “A kid is less worriso than you.”
ng Fuyao rolled her eyes and asked, “You heard the sentence just now, what did she an?”
Zhangsun Wuji did not reply. He seed to be troubled with so matters, a little absent-minded. After a mont, he pulled ng Fuyao into his embrace and quietly asked, “Fuyao, when can our hard work be in the sa direction?”
ng Fuyao looked up. The light in his eyes seed to have been dimd. As the bamboo forest reflected on that purple embroidered robe, he seed a little mottled from the shadows. Fuyao felt that his breath was not stable and actually felt downcasted along with him. She sighed. “Give up, Zhangsun Wuji.’
Zhangsun Wuji froze as he remained silent. ng Fuyao thought about it and quietly said, “Actually Tai Yan’s personality isn’t that evil, and she is pretty skilled in martial arts, but that height of hers… sigh, if there was a perfect girl out there that matched you, I would be relieved.”
Zhangsun Wuji stayed silent. Suddenly, he laughed.
He laughed, but it was unlike the usual gentle and loving laughter. This was cold and harsh. With a wave, he pushed ng Fuyao away.
It was the first ti he had pushed her away ever since they t.
ng Fuyao stepped back without a word and leaned against a bamboo as she hung her head down.
“ng Fuyao…” Zhangsun Wuji looked at her. “Are you trying to play matchmaker again? Haven’t you had enough the last ti? Do you really not understand that your ‘consideration’ for now is nothing but ironic?”
ng Fuyao laughed bitterly. “If I was just trying to play matchmaker I wouldn’t have dealt with that Lotus.”
Zhangsun Wuji looked at her and with a faint smile, said, “Fuyao, no matter how unwilling I was, I never once stopped you from chasing your path. So please, do the sa for and do not concern yourself with my pursue.”
ng Fuyao looked up into the sky. ‘You want to ignore your pursue… the issue is, the one you are pursuing is , please. With you being touchy and feely all day, do you really think that I am a wooden block? Even wooden blocks get stuck in quicksands, what’s more, a living human being like , wouldn’t I fall into your love trap? It might be easy for you to say, but you don’t know how hard it is to insist on my stance. The stress my insistence brought made my bones ache, ssed up my period and even my hormones secretion have gone down…. Is it easy for ?’
The man in front of her was honorable yet silent, like an untouchable God… This was a God-like man. Perfect without a flaw. Even his gentleness was strong like a jade, and no one could find fault in him. Indeed, he had no fault and would never be wrong. Alas, the fault lay in her. She was emotionalness, cold, heartless, shaless….
ng Fuyao closed her eyes and suddenly felt annoyed beyond words. Why did she have to co here? Why did she have to et him? Why did she have to fall into this trap of ‘to love or not to love’? She felt guilty for rejecting him—but why did she? Wasn’t she as hurt? Or perhaps even more hurt than him to make that choice.
She started to grind her teeth, she did not understand the disgust and anger that was coming up. ‘Instead of being tornted by hate and love, wouldn’t it be better to end everything at once? To make him leave in anger and let ti heal our wounds. This is the most humane way to deal with it, isn’t it? I might have never dated anyone, but I certainly watched enough soap operas to know what words to defeat you with.’
“Zhangsun Wuji I hate your pursue. Can I please beg you to disappear from my sight? I do not want to continue owing you any favors, or else I will never be able to repay to debt, and I’ll continue living my life in pain. So please, let off and let yourself off. Alright, these are my true feelings, and in this entire life, I will only say this once – Bye, thank you. and I hope we will never et again.”
‘There is certainly a benefit to cultivating the Cleaving Nine Heavens, well, just look at this amazing display of lung capacity…’ ng Fuyao angrily wiped away her tears and walked away without looking at Zhangsun Wuji’s expression behind her.
She walked with her head held high, a little too high, making people suspect that the only reason for that body language was to prevent a certain liquid from coming out. She stomped away but could not help but listen for the sounds of any footsteps. But it was still silent. She wanted to turn back so badly, to see what his expression was, to see what he was doing. But she stopped herself as she walked on and yelled, “Leave!”
But suddenly, a gust of wind blew from the back.
An almost unnoticeable current whirled around her leg upwards, bringing a thin piece of a leaf with it. The leaf fluttered gracefully on ng Fuyao foot.
‘Where did the wind co from?
‘The other end of the bamboo forest…’
ng Fuyao imdiately turned back and noticed that at the other corner of the forest, between the bamboos, there was a tiny pink figure. With a cold laugh and a glimr of light, she headed straight or Zhangsun Wuji’s back.
ng Fuyao imdiately pounced over.
She pounced aggressively like an angered lion or leopard. As the leaves fluttered down, the black sword instantly reduced them into a ball.
‘This damned Tai Yan!’ At this mont Zhangsun Wuji’s reaction speed is at his lowest!
In the other direction, the invisible guards also rushed forward with all their might. But when Tai Yan waved her sleeve as she drew her sword, no one could get close 30 feet from Zhangsun Wuji with the exception of ng Fuyao.
That sword was stabbed right into Zhangsun Wuji back as he turned around to defend himself. However, whether it was Tai Yan or ng Fuyao, they could tell that he was one step too slow.
ng Fuyao was a step slow too. After all, she was too far away.
“Chi-”
The quiet sound as the weapon stabbed into his flesh made ng Fuyao’s gut wrenched.
Tai Yan’s ear-piercing laughter rang in the forest. She was satisfied, a little heartbroken and relieved as she let out the crazed, manic laughter. “I finally beat you once!” The sword in her palm stopped short and went upwards.
That sword did not go completely through Zhangsun Wuji’s back but cruelly cut open his spine!
The sword glided past the flesh without hesitation, slicing it open. It seed as though the sword was going to go all the way down when it suddenly stopped.
