Jing Qiushui quietly snuggled in Wu Tianxiao's arms.

She thought she would have been stronger than that.

She felt like she was shattered to pieces.

Her heart—the heart that she had always held onto, that was not open to anyone—throbbed and ached intensely.

This girl is so strong...... Wu Tianxiao's face was serious and he thought quietly. It's a bit too strong. She doesn't have to be so strong. Please, rely on me once in a while.

He thought his left shoulder would be wet with her tears, but he was wrong, and she eventually held back and didn't cry.

"Qiushui, my shoulder can be leaned on." Wu Tianxiao said in a voice that could only be heard by her, more like he was speaking to himself.

"Let's cry once in a while," Wu Tianxiao said softly as if she was comforting a defenseless child, "Occasionally like a normal girl, just cry." ”

"Haven't you seen it......" Jing Qiushui's voice was extremely depressed, and he was burdened by choking, "...... Strong woman, right? ”

"If you want me to say, you are too strong," Wu Tianxiao felt a little helpless and sighed. Why is this woman so stubborn? "You don't have to be that strong with me. It's true. ”

If only I could trust you. Jing Qiushui meditated to himself. If only I could trust you so easily.

Jing Qiushui kept choking. Sure enough, I still can't resist this strong emotion. Wu Tianxiao thought.

The man in his arms twitched slightly. That's right, let it all out. Wu Tianxiao silently encouraged.

When she finds that her emotions cannot be harnessed by reason. Wu Tianxiao thought. That's when she was growing up.

Accept my concern and trust me. Wu Tianxiao heard his inner words.

But now. Wu Tianxiao's hand held her deeper in his arms. Rely on me as much as you want, it's enough.

It took a long time for the two of them to stand up.

"Let's go find Jun and them...... Qiushui, are you sure you're okay? Wu Tianxiao still looked at her with a trace of worry in her eyes.

Jing Qiushui nodded: "I'm fine." Let's go. ”

The two met Wu Tianjun and Jin Jiao in front of the alley next to the harbor.

"Sister Qiu, are you feeling better?" Jin Jiao asked with concern.

"Hmm."

Jin Jiao saw that her eyes were red, but she didn't ask any more.

"Was that Zhu Zitong killed by you?" Wu Tianjun asked.

"I'm not sure either." Wu Tianxiao said.

"I've seen the Blue Dragon Sword cut through his armor!" Jin Jiao said.

"When I watched him fall into the sea, he had already vomited blood...... It must have been injured, yes. Wu Tianxiao said thoughtfully.

"So what's next?" Wu Tianjun asked.

"If Zhu Zitong is missing for a few days, his men will definitely come to him. Let's get out of this city as soon as possible. Wu Tianxiao said.

"Leave?" Jing Qiushui spoke.

"Isn't Zhu Zitong already ...... by you," Jin Jiao said, "No one can withstand the double attack of the Qilin Palace's poison powder and the heavy attack of the Qinglong Sword, right?" ”

Wu Tianjun said: "Gillian, do you really think that guy died like this?" ”

"Seeing is believing, don't you see it too......"

"Miss Jing, what do you think?" Wu Tianjun looked at the woman in purple.

“…… That Zhu Zitong is indeed very human. Jing Qiushui finally said.

"It seems that Qiushui doesn't believe that person is just done like that." Wu Tianxiao pointed out.

"What should I do if this continues? I don't want to be chased by Zhu Zitong's crazy men! Jin Jiao said.

"Why do you say 'crazy'?" Wu Tianxiao asked.

"Haven't you heard? That man is really terrifying, and his men are a bunch of fierce beasts! Jin Jiao said.

"Gillian, don't add more drama." Wu Tianjun interjected.

"I'm well-informed, and you're willing to fight those guys, whatever you want! I'm going to go first! With that, Jin Jiao walked away quickly.

"Huh? This girl! Wu Tianjun was startled at first, and then hurried after her.

"Qiushui, let's keep up!"

"Hmm!" Jing Qiushui also followed Wu Tianxiao in the direction of the outside of the city.

Outside the city gates.

"Alright, it's finally out. Where to go now? Jin Jiao asked.

"Whatever is fine. That man's strength is too strong, and now we can't beat him. Jing Qiushui said weakly.

Translucent...... Wu Tianxiao actually felt her despair. Number Seven

"It's not a way to be so sad!" Jin Jiao said, "In case that Zhu Zitong doesn't die, he will definitely come to collect debts from us!" Tsk tsk, Miss Ben hates that kind of guy who can't get rid of the most! ”

"And what do you propose?" Wu Tianjun said.

"I'm going to talk to the master! She's experienced, and she's never seen any demons and monsters. As long as I go to her to practice and take refuge, she will definitely take me in!" Jin Jiao seemed to be a little happy.

"Master...... Are you the Command Fox Lady? Wu Tianjun said, "Then I have to follow you." ”

"Why, the master's immortal residence doesn't like men......" Jin Jiao frowned.

"I have to look at you, a pampered girl, lest your young lady's temper hurt others and not know it." Wu Tianjun said sharply.

"You!!" Jin Jiao's face flushed with anger, "Hmph! As you see fit! ”

Seeing Jin Jiao flick his sleeves and turn away, Wu Tianjun immediately wanted to follow, but he finally turned back to Wu Tianxiao and said, "Big brother, will you come together?" ”

Wu Tianxiao and Jing Qiushui glanced at each other, and then walked over together.

Linghu Zhen's residence.

"Huh? Isn't this Jiao'er? Ling Huzhen had already felt her breath and said.

"Master, the apprentice has come to see you." Jin Jiao said with a smile.

"You're here with your companions." Linghu Zhen said.

"Ah, they, I won't let me alone if I say anything, and please forgive me, master."

"Hehehe, it seems that they don't worry about you being alone with me?"

"No, master......"

"Lady Linghu is still so beautiful." Wu Tianjun said with a smile, "Gillian has never been a fuel-efficient lamp, I was afraid that she would cause you trouble and give you a headache, so I came with ......."

"Ah, don't say anything polite," Ling Huzhen said, "I'm not a fool when I'm so old, everyone can see what you think about my Jiao'er...... Isn't it, Ru'er? ”

At this time, everyone noticed that Jiong Yu had come out of the shadows.

Jiong Yu still looked expressionless, unfazed.

Is it scorching? How did this unsmiling and restrained young girl meet her graceful master? Although Jin Jiao knew that people could not be good-looking, she still couldn't help but wonder.

"My Dragon Yin Temple, although it is some distance from the Dragon Palace, does belong to the Dragon Palace. You see that I am a weak woman, and I still need Jiong Ming, a more reliable existence than many men, to help me take care of the nursing home, Jiao'er, you agree, right? ”

"Of course." Jin Jiao said without thinking.

"Ah, what a rude I am, sit down...... However, I am not a caring person, so please don't expect anything from my hospitality. ”

"Mrs. Linghu, please let me have the courage to correct you: first, you are not a weak woman, you are strong in martial arts and beautiful, otherwise how could the Dragon Palace give this feng shui treasure to you? Second, you're hospitable and approachable more than I expected, and you don't have to be mean to yourself. Wu Tianjun said with a smile.

Hum...... This kid is smarter than I thought. Ling Huzhen smiled: "I'm polite, you're more polite than me." It seems that Jiao'er is right, Gongzi Wu, you are a smart person, and Jiao'er is relieved to have you to take care of me. ”

When Jin Jiao heard her say this, her face turned red all of a sudden: "Master...... When did people tell you that......"

Although Wu Tianjun wanted to sit down, he couldn't help but glance at Jiong Yu standing next to him and the weapon on her waist.

This iceberg-faced woman must be Mrs. Linghu's bodyguard? If I'm not mistaken, she is the sister of the murderous Jiong Ying under Zhu Zitong! Wu Tianjun's mind was spinning rapidly.

Ling Huzhen saw the jealousy that Wu Tianjun was trying to hide, so she said in a relaxed tone: "Hehe, don't care about Yu'er, she has always been like this to everyone...... If only you got used to it. ”

"Sister Jiong, you are also my senior sister. Please advise. Jin Jiao said with an effort to smile, trying to break the cold atmosphere around Jiong Ming and ease the pressure exuded by the latter.

Jiong Yu didn't answer, just looked at her indifferently and blankly.

Jin Jiao was embarrassed by her, but she still broke the silence: "Jiao'er, don't mind, Ru'er is like this." Hurry up and sit down. ”

Jin Jiao couldn't help but say while taking her seat: "It's useless for any human feelings, is it?" ”

Jiong Yu was still silent.

It's been ignored. Jin Jiao smiled bitterly in her heart.

Ling Huzhen seemed to feel a little uncomfortable because of this, but she was a mature woman after all, and immediately smiled and said, "Although you two have very different personalities, you have to get along well." ”

"Lady Linghu is a good master, Miss Jin, you can learn a lot from her." Jing Qiushui saw the disparity between the two and said bluntly.

"yes, I think so too." Wu Tianjun said.

I'm the heir of the Qilin Palace, can this kind of trivial matter stump me? Jin Jiao thought to herself.

"Jiao'er, in my place, we are all equal, regardless of origin, rich or poor, do you understand?" Ling Huzhen reminded her.

"Of course, I understand." Jin Jiao said.

It seems that this Lady Linghu is really a wise and reasonable person. Wu Tianjun thought to himself.

"But looking at the anxious look on your face, you must have encountered something difficult to come to me, right?" Ling Huzhen said to Jin Jiao.

"Ah, am I that obvious?" Jin Jiao smiled bitterly, "I was right by you, master." ”

Ling Huzhen smiled lightly: "If there is any trouble, tell the master directly." ”

Jin Jiao glanced at Wu Tianjun, who gave her an encouraging look back, so she said, "That's the ......"
