This sentence was spoken by Zi Wei as he held Su Yingxue’s hand.
His breath was weak, his voice hoarse. Saying this inflicted even more pain on Su Yingxue’s heart.
She held Zi Wei firmly and turned to face Chu Yihan. Her exquisite eyes were filled with determination. “1 won’t let you! You can’t kill him! Unless you kill me first!”
“What did you just say?” Chu Yihan’s hand holding the sword trembled, and a hint of pain was hidden in his icy eyes.
Did she care about him so much?
“What if I insist on killing him?” Chu Yihan’s eyes turned red, and his intent to kill grew stronger.
“I won’t let this happen!”
Su Yingxue pronounced each word. She opened her arms, shielding herself behind them, using her body to confront Chu Yihan’s blade.
If he had persisted in striking her with the sword, she wouldn’t have dodged!
Zi Wei covered his wound, his voice strained and managed to utter two words.
Su Yingxue didn’t look back at him but firmly stated, “I’m your master, and I’ll protect you!”
If she couldn’t even protect him, then what was the point of snatching him away from the Silver Moon Pavilion?
Moonlight bathed the ground in a pale white glow.
Chu Yihan’s gaze was colder than the moonlight.
He sheathed his sword and turned to Hong Lian. “Let them go.”
Hong Lian smiled faintly. “Yes, Your Highness.”
Hong Lian waved her hand. “Clear the way for Miss Su and Number One.”
The assassins surrounding them immediately dispersed. Su Yingxue and Zi Wei were no longer a threat.
Su Yingxue carried Zi Wei on her shoulder and walked away with him. She didn’t even glance back at Chu Yihan.
Hong Lian quietly followed Chu Yihan’s footsteps. She was familiar with every corner of the Silver Moon Pavilion, but she nearly stumbled on the steps.
Chu Yihan helped her up. Feeling the strength of his arm, Hong Lian stood up shyly and softly said, “Thank you, Your Highness.”
Chu Yihan withdrew his hand coldly.
“What do you plan to do about her deal with the Silver Moon Pavilion?” Chu Yihan’s eyes were as icy as ever.
Hong Lian had already prepared an excuse. She wanted Chu Yihan to owe her a favor, so she said, “Hong Lian knows that Your Highness cares about Miss Su. Miss Su took Number One away. According to the Silver Moon Pavilion’s rules, neither of them can be spared. But considering Your Highness’s feelings…”
“I will complete her trade.”
Before she could finish, Chu Yihan interrupted her.
Hong Lian’s expression froze.
Chu Yihan wanted to complete the trade for Su Yingxue.
He knew the Silver Moon Pavilion’s rules very well!
Hong Lian’s lips trembled. “Your Highness, this trade is no small matter. If
Your Highness wants to personally complete it…”
That would inevitably require a much heavier price!
She couldn’t bear it! She couldn’t bear it!
“I have already said it. I will complete this trade! From now on, Su Yingxue will owe nothing to the Silver Moon Pavilion!”
Chu Yihan left immediately after saying this.
Hong Lian chased after him, her face pale. “Your Highness, please don’t! Don’t go! Your Highness!”
Before, she wanted Chu Yihan to assist her, but this time, she tumbled down the stairs.
She lay on the ground, half of her sharp nails broken, and her fingers bleeding. She gazed into the air and murmured, “Your Highness, why… Is Su Yingxue that exceptional? Is she worth any heavy price?”
Su Yingxue brought Zi Wei back to the clinic and tended to his wounds. Then, she immediately went to prepare medicine for him..
