The surrounding scene suddenly changed without warning, and the nighthawk who came with him flapped its wings in shock, and flew into the sky from Zhang Longqian's arm, and looking at the three figures in front of him, Zhang Longqian didn't have time to care about the nighthawk who flew away, she immediately frowned tightly.

The dazzling flames swayed, stopping all the magic light that shone out, reflecting the figures of Cang Yan and a small young man, both of them were very agile, and at the same time there were also martial arts collisions from time to time when the spells clashed, dazzling to see, and even difficult to capture their figures, occasionally hit the ground by the flying spells, but the solid ground lit up the whole piece of light green, swaying slightly to dissolve the power of those "stray bullet" spells, leaving only harmless color fireworks scattered, like a magic movie.

Although Cang Yan, who possessed the flames, had a slight upper hand, the little man's skills should not be underestimated, and the battle situation seemed to be stalemate and fierce.

Seeing Nangong Piao standing on the side with a complicated expression, Zhang Longqian immediately rushed forward and asked anxiously, "Who is that person?" ”

"Huh? How do you ...... dragon?"

Feeling a little anxious about Nangong Piao's reaction, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but grab his collar, frowned and accentuated his tone: "I asked you who that little man is?" ”

Finally hearing Zhang Longqian's seriousness and anxiety, Nangong Piao let out an "ah" and looked at the person who was fighting with Cang Yan: "His name is He Guang, and he seems to be a member of the Shichuan faction." ”

He Guang? Is that Brother He?

His heart sank, and Zhang Longqian's voice sounded a little gnashing of teeth: "...... Why don't you stop him? ”

"Huh?"

"Why don't you stop Cang Yan from fighting He Guang?!"

Worried that He Guang's plan would be realized, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but shout, but Nangong Piao, who didn't understand at all, was confused and blinked suspiciously.

Zhang Longqian also knew that this was a bad act to vent her anger, but the chagrin of being a step late really made her anxious. Looking at the fierce battle situation on Cang Yan's side, which she absolutely couldn't interfere in, she reluctantly calmed herself down, let go of her hand and turned her head to look at Ji Haiyun.

"Haiyun, can you do me a favor?"

Looking at Cang Yan and He Guang, who had fought several times in the blink of an eye, Ji Haiyun looked at Zhang Longqian again: "You want me to stop them?" ”

"Yes."

"I'll try."

Saying with a look of uncertainty, Ji Haiyun stepped towards the two people in the battle, and the blue light band between his hands appeared beside him again, and slowly floated around him, stretching little by little like a creature, when Ji Haiyun approached the two people, the light band was already long enough to encircle the three people directly.

Cang Yan and He Guang were fighting to the fullest, and rashly intervening not only could not stop their fierce battle, but would even allow himself to be affected by their battle and be injured, which Ji Haiyun naturally understood, and Zhang Longqian also understood very well, so although he knew that Ji Haiyun was a mage, he was definitely much stronger than He Guang, but she was still a little nervous looking at her over there.

However, compared to Zhang Longqian, Ji Haiyun, who was hands-on, looked much more relaxed. Although his expression looked a little serious, he was not nervous, and with a wave of his hand, he commanded the light band to insert it into the battle, and deftly avoided Cang Yan's terrifying flames, so he divided most of the light band on the spell that blocked He Guang, and at the same time spoke in a deep voice.

"Two, please stop."

Almost at the same time as Ji Haiyun's voice sounded, Cang Yan suddenly withdrew most of the flames, leaving only a few to stop He Guang's follow-up attack.

Two people with mage strength shot together, He Guang immediately doubled the pressure, knowing that this fight would definitely not be able to continue, he could only withdraw his hand and retreat, glanced at Zhang Longqian with a cold eye, and his eyes swept over Ji Haiyun who was standing next to Cang Yan, and then looked at Cang Yan with a sneer.

"Since the young master of the Ji family has come forward in person, let's stop here today. However, Jue Gongzi, the account between the family faction and you still has to be calculated carefully, rest assured, it will not make you wait for a long time. ”

Leaving these cold words, He Guang quickly retreated.

didn't want to chase He Guang at all, Zhang Longqian just couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she nodded to Ji Haiyun and thanked her, but then frowned angrily, hurriedly ran to Cang Yan's side, and grabbed his collar.

"What the hell are you doing these days? Why let yourself be implicated? That He Guang is the second in command of the family faction! Do you know that you've been targeted by them? And he didn't come to defeat you at all, but to be defeated by you so as to arouse the interest of the war prince in you! The next thing you have to face may be the Zhan Gongzi Guan Rongtu! ”

Annoyance and worry were intertwined, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but shout a little anxiously, Nangong Piao, who ran over, was stunned at first after hearing her words, and then a little panicked because of Guan Rongtu's name, but the person concerned, Cang Yan, was still expressionless, just turned his head to look at Zhang Longqian, his eyes were as calm as snow.

As calm and indifferent as usual, it seems that there are no emotions in the eyes.

Zhang Longqian's heart trembled slightly.

She knew that Cang Yan was not wrong at all, he just protected her, and the protected himself was still yelling at him like this, it was really bad.

However, she still couldn't talk to Cang Yan calmly.

Because she can't forgive, she can't forgive herself for implicating Cang Yan.

Lowering his head slightly as if avoiding Cang Yan's gaze, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but grit his teeth.

“…… Why do you ...... Do you want to protect me like this? ”

Cang Yan obviously knew that once those family factions targeting Zhang Longqian were blocked, they would definitely regard him as an obstacle, so it would be a matter of time before Guan Rongtu, who was also one of the four princes with him, took matters into his own hands.

However, he still chose to protect Zhang Longqian secretly.

Why?

Zhang Longqian didn't understand.

Someone like me...... What is there for you to protect? Why do you always protect me like this, again and again?

She doesn't understand, she really doesn't.

Why does Cang Yan always show up when she needs to? Why was he always able to save her again and again in time? Why is he always silent to protect her?

Why...... From the first time we met, her heart was in turmoil?

Cangyan ...... Who are you?

Suddenly, a figure appeared in Zhang Longqian's mind again, and he spoke softly.

“…… As I said, absolutely...... will protect you. ”

The deep voice is mournful, but gentle and firm, heartbreaking.

It was the phantom that had appeared in her mind twice when she was in the Demon Slaying Forest, and the figure of the young man in black once again invaded her mind without warning at this moment, and he was still completely unable to see his face as before, but gradually, the black figure overlapped with Cang Yan little by little.

The same coldness, the same firmness, the same ......

Gentle.

Looking up at Cang Yan, Zhang Longqian's amber eyes were scattered, and his dream-like voice gently overflowed.

“…… Flame......? ”
