Ning An smelled heavy blood before he entered the courtyard, and when he entered the courtyard, he recognized the rock lying in the center at a glance, and immediately felt that the sky had collapsed, and he could not make any movement except standing in a daze and crying.

"Cher, Cher......"

Dugu Yi kept looking for it in the yard, the small courtyard that he could see at a glance, but Dugu Yi hoped in his heart that there was a corner he hadn't looked for and Xue'er was there, but unfortunately, this was just his inner hope.

"Where's Cher?"

Under Dugu Yi's call, Ning An finally came to his senses, grabbed Dugu Yi's shoulder with one hand and then turned to him, holding Dugu Yi's shirt in both hands, and asked with a roar: "Was Xue'er taken away?"

"I—I don't know. Dugu Yi tilted his head to the side with a weak heart, and he didn't dare to look directly at Ning An. Yanzhong was lying there, and now even Xue'er is missing, these two people are family and relatives to Ning An, but because of him, they have attracted such a result.

"How could you not know? Was it captured by the Zhao family?" Ning An threw Dugu Yi out fiercely.

Dugu Yi fell to the ground without standing firmly, and when she fell, her eyes finally made a new discovery, Xue'er hadn't returned to her room tonight, and now the room was lit and the door was open.

She was in the room! Dugu Yi immediately got up from the ground and ran towards Xue'er's room with such a glimmer of anticipation.

Seeing this, Ning An naturally followed. No matter how much resentment there is in your heart, finding Cher is the top priority now.

"Cher's ......"

As soon as Dugu Yi arrived at the door of Xue'er's room, despair filled her heart, and then she collapsed along the doorrail. There was no Cher in the room, she was really missing.

In contrast, Ning An was much calmer than Dugu Yi at this time, bypassed Dugu Yi and walked into the room, picked up a piece of paper from the table and looked at it for a while, then turned around and asked, "Who is Qilan?"

"Qilan?" Dugu Yi then remembered the woman who killed a family member for him and chatted with him for a few words, looked at the paper in Ning An's hand, and asked eagerly, "What did she say?"

Ning An walked back to Dugu Yi and handed over the letter in his hand.

Dugu Yi grabbed the paper and looked down: "Xue'er, I took it away, with your current situation, you can't afford to take care of her, don't worry about her, when she has the power to protect herself, I will let her come to you; although I also thought about taking you with me, but you shouldn't go with me." - Qilan, stay. ”

Dugu Yi read the letter in one go, and then looked at the traces of cleaning up the room, you can know that Qilan also took some of Xue'er's clothes before leaving, and Xue'er's saber is also missing, which shows that Qilan is not maliciously kidnapping Xue'er;

"Who is Qilan?" Ning An asked again when he saw the reassuring expression on Dugu Yi's face.

"The people who saved me and Cher in the end. Although Dugu Yi said this because he wanted Ning An not to worry about Xue'er, but after thinking about it, if it wasn't for Qilan who killed the last family, the people of the Zhao family would have rushed here by now, so it was thanks to Qilan that he could still stay in the medical hall now.

"That's good!" Ning An also breathed a sigh of relief, looked Dugu Yi up and down, and said, "You should also go quickly, leave Duolong City, and never come back." ”

"I'm ......" Dugu Yi turned his head to look at the courtyard.

"I'll deal with the old man's funeral. Ning An said and walked out of the room.

Dugu Yi thought about Ning An's words, looked at his back in surprise, and said, "You're not leaving?"

"I'm not leaving. Ning An turned back to Dugu Yi and squeezed out a smile, but this smile contained sadness, bitterness, and even resentment. Ning An walked towards the courtyard with extremely complicated feelings.

"I'm going to stay here and wait for Cher to come back. The old man treats me as his own, and I must take care of Cher. ”

Hearing this, Dugu Yi stood up excitedly and shouted behind Ning An: "Zhao Hao is dead, the Zhao family will definitely be angry with you, if you stay here, will ...... Dead. ”

"If I leave here, will I be able to live?" Ning An bent down and picked up the corpse in the rock and walked towards the main hall. "I'm just an ordinary person, even if I escape, I don't have the confidence that I can survive the pursuit of the Zhao family. ”

"......" Dugu Yi was speechless, not only could he not protect Ning An, but he couldn't even protect himself, if it weren't for the storage ring and the black sword, he would have died tonight.

"I grew up here, and there is always a way to avoid the Zhao family's eyes. Ning An carried Yanzhong into the main hall, and finally left a sentence: "I don't want to see you now." ”

"No... No... Don't want to see me......" The words kept repeating in Dugu Yi's mind, his bloodless lips trembled violently, and he knelt on the ground in distraction, staring at the back of his hand with a dull gaze.

Ning An not only lost his relatives, but also lost his safe place, and even lived in fear in the future, so it was understandable to have hatred in his heart, but Ning An, who had been smiling and grinning, actually said such a nearly broken words, which was not much less stimulating than the last sentence spoken by Yanzhong.

Half an hour later, Dugu Yi finally got back on his feet. Ning An chose to stay, but he couldn't, he couldn't die here, he had to flee from Duolong City, he had to live......

Looking at Ning An, who was sorting out the remains of Yanzhong in the main hall, Dugu Yi walked to his room, put the bags he had prepared before into the storage ring, and came to the door of the main hall again to look at it for a while before walking out of the medical hall and running towards the outside of the city.

......

Time goes back a little bit back.

Another small courtyard not far from the medical center.

"Who?" said an old man who ran out of the room in his nightgown, looking at the person who had fallen into the courtyard with vigilance, and his face immediately turned to joy when he saw the person who had come.

"Your Excellency, you're back!"

"Hmm!" Qilan nodded faintly. "It's hard work to keep you waiting for an extra year. ”

"No, it's not hard. The old man hurriedly waved his hand. "It's been a year of hard work. ”

Qilan shook her head slightly, leading Xue'er, who was still a little stunned, to a room in front of her.

The old man finally saw Xue'er behind Qilan at this time, and the old man had also gone to the small courtyard of the medical hall several times this year to secretly watch Dugu Yi and Xue'er practice swords, so at this time, when he saw Xue'er with blood on her clothes, his heart was also full of questions.

"My lord, how did she end up here, and become like this?"

"She's helpless now, and I'm going to take her back. Qilan said simply, which can be regarded as an answer to the old man's question.

"What about the boy?"

"He's fine. Qilan pressed Xue'er on the bed, looked back at the old man, and said, "You should have come into contact with a lot of famous swords, have you ever seen such a sword: three feet long, three fingers wide, double blades, the sword body is red, and the hilt is pitch black?"

Hearing this, the old man fell into thought, and as the appearance of the sword in his mind became clear, the old man's eyes opened wider and wider, and finally his whole face stiffened, and even after decades of life, he trembled with horror at this time.

“... That... That... That's not... Only exists... In... Legend has it... Target... Sword... Is it?"

"Yes!" Qilan sighed deeply and said weakly, "But I saw it with my own eyes tonight, and although I had heard it countless times before, I didn't think it really existed." ”

"This ......" The old man looked at Qilan in disbelief, and then remembered the request that Dugu Yi made when he came to buy the sword a year ago, except for the color, isn't it the 'magic sword' he is talking about now?

"It'...... How did it end up here, how did it end up in that kid's hands?"

"Alas!" Qilan sighed again and said, "Since it has appeared, it means that those who have been hidden from the world have already entered the world, right?"

"That's—that's right. The old man nodded approvingly, and then asked, "But why do you want to hand it over to a weak boy?"

"Although he is only a third-level martial artist now, who knows what he will achieve in the future?" Qilan shook her head with a smile, and said: "It's really exciting, whether it's the future situation in the world, or the boy Dugu Yi!"
