If only my mother had been asked for advice when she was still alive.

My father was the same, and he had a lot of questions to ask him.

There are too many questions to ask them for.

It's not just about fighting.

Perhaps, the time has come to settle the score.

The account of living a half-tone life, and the account of taking the health of his parents for granted, always treating himself as a child, and refusing to take charge alone.

When he heard Ye Chun's rumors from the mouths of the twins, Anye's heart also quietly thought about these things.

And then, here and now

The time to settle accounts is not "maybe" but "real".

When he saw the figure that appeared in front of the group, Anno was even more convinced.

They were separated from Lin Yu for about ten minutes.

Halfway up the mountain, where the trees are lush and green, the word forest could not be more appropriate

Nangong leaned against the trunk of the tree, quietly waiting for the group to appear.

「…… Giggle."

After glancing at Ye Ya, Xia Jing, and An Ye in turn, she sneered, "You have come all the way to send you to death, it's really hard for you. And son-in-law...... Welcome to the city. I welcome you from the bottom of my heart."

Nangong's tone was sarcastic, and his attitude seemed to be humble, but in fact he was rude.

Ye Ya stood in front of Xia Jing and Anye, exuding a terrifying momentum.

"I thought you would be right next to Ye Chun."

"I don't take that much care for her."

Nangong dealt with Ye Ya's gaze with a calm and unhurried attitude.

Then, she said what Anno had expected

"My mission is the same as the previous twins. How do you choose? Are three people teaming up together? Still is...... Leave one of them behind?"

Seeing that Nangong's gaze was obviously on his body, An Ye gritted his teeth unwillingly.

"Are you kidding?"

Xia Jing refuted it as if he couldn't agree.

"Regardless of the previous twins, it's three to one now. Is there a better option than the three of us to beat you up together? On the contrary, you are more stupid to jump out and beg for a beating."

Ahhhh

Anno silently sighed in his heart.

What kind of result will be caused by the three of them attacking in a row, does Xia Jing know it?

He must have known it. He's just playing dumb on purpose now.

Otherwise

"Hurry up and let the horses come. By the way, how many times have you been defeated by me?"

Otherwise, he would not have provoked in such a superficial way

「…… Summer Scene."

So Anno grabbed Natsujing's shoulder.

"Anno? Hey......"

She glared at the bespectacled, bespectacled, backward face, then pushed him away and stood forward.

"You don't talk nonsense."

Even if according to what Xia Jing said, the three of them teamed up to fight Nangong one

At that time, Nangong will definitely move the rescue soldiers.

That person is the strongest thug of the Deer Clan, and he is also Ye Ya's relative and friend, and he has become Li Qi, who is a rope puppet.

In other words, it's actually a three-on-two, not a three-on-one.

And the other party will inevitably wait for the opportunity to sneak attack. Nangong will temporarily contain the three of them alone, and then Li Qi will launch a surprise attack from behind. At that time, we will not only not be able to get the sweetness to eat, but will also fall into a very unfavorable situation.

No matter how you choose, you will inevitably have to fight against Li Qi. In this case, there is a better chance of winning a head-on move. Instead of fighting with a state of fear, it is better to face it with a situation where you can concentrate on the central god to fight.

Xia Jing should also know this very well. It's impossible for this guy whose brain moves faster than anyone else to fail to notice what even I, the deer clan, could have expected, and what the deer clan had come up with.

However, he still insisted on provoking for only one reason.

"This blatant way of protecting me...... How can I be happy when I see it?"

Because he thinks that if I go head-to-head with Nangong one-on-one, I will definitely have no chance of winning.

Really, since you have to settle the account, it seems that this account will have to be settled together.

In the past, Xia Jing once said this to me:

- You must be a better woman.

Xia Jing and I are not boyfriend and girlfriend, and I don't feel any charm of the opposite sex from him.

But—that's why......

If only let the boys who look like buddies protect them. That would be detrimental to my woman's dignity.

"Cluck, cluck."

Listening to Anye's declaration, Nangong sneered.

"It's interesting, it's funny. It's so funny that it makes me so unpleasant. Anno ...... Have you ever taken a single victory from my hands when you were practicing martial arts?"

Nangong's words hit the nail on the head, and even Anye didn't think he had a chance of winning.

But how can words destroy one's own prestige?

"Oh, martial arts training and actual combat are two different things."

Yasuno bluffed while thinking about Natsu Jing behind him.

Not only did he not practice martial arts, but he was also a vulnerable human being. He, a high school student who knows nothing about martial arts, has repeatedly defeated the deer clan since the winter. With his trickery and lying skills, as well as his wit to adapt to the situation, he has fought against the overwhelming power of the deer clan to this day. It's only for now – I hope to draw a gourd and learn from him.

"It's decided, Ya, Xia Jing."

Yasuno turned his head and smiled.

Try to be as calm as possible so as not to make them feel uneasy.

"You go first. I'll take care of it here...... Don't worry, I won't lose. If I am killed by someone who has been Xia Jing's defeated commander twice, I will die without a blind eye."

"Hey, Anno! It's not a fuss......

"Who's messing with you?"

An Ye couldn't help but choke angrily at Xia Jing, who was still relieved.

"Good women should seize this opportunity to behave well...... Can you not be so ignorant?"

There was a brief silence.

I don't know how many seconds passed. After a while, a serious voice said:

"Okay."

Unexpectedly, it was Ye Ya who was the first to express his approval.

"Anno, I'll leave it to you here."

"Hey, but ......."

Ye Ya first stopped Xia Jinghuahua, and then stood in front of An Ye.

I saw that she suddenly grabbed Anye's collar. He hugged her like a hug.

「…… Yikes!"

At a close distance, Ye Ya solemnly admonished, "It's just that I will never allow you to die. If there is danger, you must flee."

「…… I see."

Yasuno nodded in agreement.

After Ye Ya let go of Anye, he took a step back.

Ye Ya's expression did not show the slightest uneasiness, and after she smiled faintly, she turned to face Nangong.

"Things are as you can see, Nangong. I'm going to have to go first...... You shouldn't go back on your word, will you?"

"Hmph."

Nangong seemed to scoff with disdain, only to see her pick up the wheel on the ground with one hand and wave it vigorously, as if she was threatening.

"You made the decision, and I have no room to interject. Frankly speaking, killing chickens with a knife? But that's fine. When I kill the dates, I will go after you."

"Don't look down on people, Nangong."

Ye Ya had already turned his back to Nangong, preparing to go deep into the mountains and forests.

She didn't look back, her tone was full of confidence.

"Anno is very strong. It's much stronger than you think."

- Yaya's mouth is quite sweet, isn't it?

In fact, Anno has no confidence at all. even admired Ye Ya for having the courage to give this task to himself.

However, there is no retreat from saying anything.

Yasuno glared at Nangong in front of him. Untie the cloth towel on your back and take out the piano.

"Alright."

Anno took a deep breath with a belligerent smile on his face.

"Let the horses come. I'll make you feel the bitterness."

Ye Ya followed closely behind Anai who was quietly climbing the mountain road.

The queen of the palace in the summer is almost unable to keep up with the footsteps of the two every time.

He just couldn't resist the urge to look back. A fierce uneasiness that questioned the appropriateness of the decision hung in his mind.

"Summer."

Perhaps sensing the uneasiness in Summer's heart, Ye Ya stopped.

"Can't you rest assured?"

"Of course. You...... Are you really not worried?"

The conditions are too unfavorable.

Even putting aside the shortcomings of Yasano's lack of warlikeness, weapons are also a very important issue.

That guy's weapon is only Jean. Originally, it was planned to make her a defender, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this.

How exactly she should use that weapon to fight, Summer couldn't imagine.

Wearing headphones and playing casually? No way. If it's a surprise attack, it's too risky to kill one-on-one hearing. If you are hidden in the forest by the enemy, you can't do anything.

If she had an enchantment amulet, that would be fine—but that treasure had already been given to Lan Yang. Whether to let An Ye or Lan Yang take it with him, he hesitated for a long time before making the decision to hand it over to Lan Yang, so Xia Jing felt even more annoyed.

Ye Ya, who decided to hand over Nangong to Anye to deal with, what did she think in her heart? At that time, she was full of confidence, so she didn't stick to it, but shouldn't she stop it in the end?

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Even though Xia Jing was nervous, Ye Ya still smiled.

"The problem is ......"

"Xia Jing, maybe you didn't notice, but I ...... No, I'm not alone. Lin Yu, Lan Yang, and An Ye are no exception, everyone has changed a lot since they met you."

Ye Ya restarted her pace and said in a pleasant tone.

No, it's not so much pleasant as it sounds

"Power is not everything, and the use of wisdom is not a vile act. It is only natural that wisdom make up for the lack of strength—and that is what you have taught us."

"What does that mean......

"I want to emulate your soldiers, too."

Ye Ya playfully raised her index finger.

「…… What?"

── Soldiers don't get tired of cheating?

"Even you are in the dark about this."

Ya added, "Don't worry. Anno won't lose. Moreover...... Don't look at her like that, she is very strong. Skills aside, her psychic level is stronger than anyone else's. So don't worry, the dates will definitely bring back victory."

As for what kind of tricks were set up, Ye Ya avoided talking about it.

- Forget it, don't talk about it.

Xia Jingya gritted his teeth, and no longer turned his head to look left and right. Of course, this does not mean that the concern in his heart has disappeared. But since Ye Yadu patted his chest categorically and promised, I am afraid that he will be punished if he doubts it again.

Besides, Natsu Jing also agrees that Anno is strong.

At this juncture, victory or defeat is secondary.

At least that guy is not the kind of person who will die easily and make friends and family sad and sad.

Anno turned to dodge the attack that slashed from above.

Helplessly, he didn't have time to dodge the roundhouse kick that attacked at the same time. Although he reached out to parry at the last moment, the bones of his hand could not withstand the heavy blow from the front. Anno jumped backwards to heal his injuries, and Nangong then launched a second wave of offensives. I saw her pick up the wheels and rush straight over.

「…… Woo!"

One of the spikes stabbed in.

Anno immediately raised his leg and kicked forward to tip himself, but his feet were still weak and he was dizzy. I saw that Nangong's wheels were centered on the spikes that pierced Anno, and it slowly turned into bright red as if the color was oozing from the inside out.

A torture instrument wheel that sucks the blood of enemies.

This was the first time Anno had actually fought this treasure, and he didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with.

No—even if you don't mention the treasures, there is a world of difference in the strength of the two.

It should have been less than five minutes before Anye and Nangong started fighting, but Anye had already consumed a considerable amount of energy. In contrast, Nangong was almost unscathed.

It seems that the weapon is so difficult to cast, she has the means to control it as she wants, there is nothing to say except admiration, and even the fist and foot kung fu is several levels better than Anno. As an assassin, Nangong has been practicing hard since childhood, while Anno is living a stable life in human society. The difference in strength between the two can be said to be clear at a glance.

"Giggle...... It's so fun that it doesn't take pleasure to teach me. It's so miserable, Anye."

Nangong stopped his offensive and glared at An Ye, and let out a sneer that no one could see.

"Weak enough to say nothing, not my opponent at all. The son-in-law is still more difficult. You...... Is that worthy of being called a deer?"

"I've found out a long time ago that Senior Sister Nangong Qiyi is quite long-tongued."

Anye was not to be outdone, even if it was just a quick start.

"A mouthful of meaningless nonsense...... But the personality is so gloomy, and it feels even more annoying."

"Hmph, even invective will only make you look funny. Look at you now, what kind of majesty do you want to play."

Anno's cold words didn't have much effect. Nangong is right, this is just the distant barking of the lost dog.

Anno's muscles and internal organs have been hit many times, and she has accumulated a lot of fatigue in order to heal her injuries. Thankfully, the anemia caused by wheel weapons is not severe.

Having said that, it is likely that Nangong has mercy from his subordinates.

According to Ye Ya, who had fought with the wheels before, as long as he was hit, he would lose 500 milliliters of blood. If such a large amount of blood is lost at one time, humans are likely to die of hemorrhagic shock, and even the deer may find it difficult to maintain a clear consciousness.

"What a joke, that's enough."

It's really infuriating. Although I knew that she had a distorted personality, I didn't expect it to be so insidious.

"Aren't you going to rush to hunt down Ye Ya as soon as possible? You're still in the mood to fish with me here."

"Fishing? What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just fixing you."

And he was born with sharp teeth.

"It's not my job to solve Yaya. It should be said that if I kill her on the mountain road, it will only make Ye Chun angry. Cluck...... So I had to resign myself to being my opponent. Thank me."
