Late at night, outside Yunhai Town.

Because of her beginner swordsmanship, Jiu Ge's flight speed was not very fast, and by the time she arrived outside the gate of Yunhai Town, the time was already close to the ugly hour.

From afar, I saw that the entire Yunhai Town was shrouded in a strong smell of blood, and outside the city gate, there were corpses lying everywhere.

Seeing the tragic scene in front of him, Jiu Ge's pupils suddenly contracted, his face instantly turned pale, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.

Although she had been cultivating for several years, this was the first time she had encountered this kind of bloody scene, and the strong and pungent smell made her feel a wave of nausea in her stomach.

"What the hell is going on, Ozawa, you can't be among these people, right?" Jiu Ge's lips trembled, and he carefully moved his steps towards the corpses.

But......

She couldn't tell anything but the bright red blood and mutilated corpses on the floor.

"Ozawa...... Where are you, you must not be fine......" Jiu Ge clutched his chest and forced himself to calm down.

Soon, she searched the city gate within a half-mile radius.

Just when Jiu Ge was glad that she didn't see Nangong Yueze, suddenly, her eyes fell on a corpse lying on her side at the city gate.

The corpse was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, and a long sword was stuck in its chest, and the blood flowing from one end of the blade stained the ground around it red.

Jiu Ge suddenly remembered that when he saw Nangong Yueze in the morning, he was also wearing a moon-white brocade robe.

Could it be him??!!

Thinking of this, Jiu Ge's heart suddenly clenched.

"Ozawa ......"

Without saying anything, she pulled out her legs and ran to the gate of the city.

As she ran, there was a sudden pain in Jiu Ge's right ankle, and she stopped abruptly, frowning and looking at her ankle.

I saw that at her ankle, I don't know when a silver wire was wound.

What's even worse is that the silver filament has been directly pierced into the flesh, and the blood is dripping down the silver filament......

"Hiss!!" The sharp pain made Jiu Ge gasp, and she reached out and touched her right ankle, finding that it was already swollen.

Obviously, the silver filament was pierced deeply.

"Damn it!!" Jiu Ge cursed in a low voice, she tugged one end of the silver thread, trying to tear it off, but the silver thread seemed to be firmly rooted in the flesh, no matter how she pulled, she couldn't pull out half a point.

"Ah......" Jiu Ge was so painful that her tears almost fell, but as soon as she saw the moon-white figure not far away, she forced her tears back again.

"Ozawa......" Holding back the pain, Jiu Ge continued to walk towards the corpse.

Twenty meters.

Ten meters.

Five meters.

Finally, when he was about two meters away from the corpse, Jiu Ge stopped.

By the light of the moon, she could see the man's appearance clearly.

This was a man of about thirty years old, and I saw that his face was extremely pale, his eyes were slightly closed, and he was obviously dead.

Seeing this scene, Jiu Ge immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ozawa, it's not you, that's great, I knew you'd be fine...... "Jiuge muttered.

Just as she was about to get up, she didn't think about it, but she was involved in the wound on her ankle, she snorted, and fell to the ground again.

She gritted her teeth and stood up in sharp pain, when the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from directly in front of her.

Jiu Ge Dai frowned slightly, following the prestige.

With a roar, a tall and mighty white horse galloped in, and soon, a man in a dark robe jumped off the horse's back and landed directly in front of Jiu Ge.

"Ozawa." Seeing the visitor, Jiu Ge looked overjoyed.

"In the middle of the night, what are you doing here alone??!!" Nangong Yueze's face was slightly gloomy, and she asked sharply.

"I ......" Jiu Ge instinctively wanted to explain, but when she looked at the cold and serious expression on his face, she swallowed the words again.

"What am I?!" Nangong Yueze's face became more and more gloomy, but when he noticed the wound on Jiu Ge's ankle, his brows couldn't help but twist fiercely: "Your foot, are you injured?" ”

"Hmm." Jiu Ge pursed his lips and lowered his eyes in response, "I'm because of ......"

Without waiting for her to speak, Nangong Yueze directly picked her up, and then stepped on the horse's back, "I'll take you out of here first." ”

Jiu Ge looked at him in a daze, hesitated for a moment, and then she obediently lay in his arms, curling up her body into a ball.

Nangong Yueze turned his horse's head and left the city gate as fast as he could.

Along the way, he kept his face strained, as if he was brewing anger, and refused to say a word to Jiu Ge.

Seeing his appearance, countless distracting thoughts flashed in Jiu Ge's head, and all kinds of speculations poured into her brain, but in the end, they were all suppressed by her.

Forget it, it's not too late to ask him when you get to the place.

After about a cup of tea, Nangong Yueze returned to the Hidden Moon Pavilion with Jiu Ge.

Seeing the girl in his arms, the oncoming Su Ho was stunned, "Your Highness, you just went out in a hurry to find her?" ”

"Well, Soho, let's take a look at her foot injury first." Nangong Yueze responded indifferently, and then put down Jiu Ge and handed it to Su Ho.

"Your Highness, don't worry, I'll take care of it." Soho smiled, and after speaking, she helped Jiu Ge to the stone bench on the side, squatted down, and motioned for her to take off her shoes.

Jiu Ge hesitated for a moment, and then slowly took off his shoes and socks.

Looking at her blood-stained ankle, Soho frowned slightly, and then began to clean her wounds.

"Hmm...... It hurts! Despite Soho's light movements, Jiu Ge couldn't help but moan.

"Little girl, you endure a little pain, your wound is quite deep, if you don't deal with it well, you will leave a scar." Soho glanced up at her and reminded.

"Hmm." Jiu Ge replied sullenly and didn't say anything more.

It didn't take long for Soho to wipe her wound clean, and then took out the ointment and applied it carefully.

"You should have a good rest tonight, and in the next few days, you must not move around, so as not to recur the injury." Soho admonished.

"But I still have to take the Purple Void Academy assessment tomorrow......" Jiu Ge scratched his head with some distress.

"I can't help you with that." Soho shrugged his shoulders, "It's almost dawn, it's time for me and Si Qin to clean up the mess outside, you can do it yourself." ”

After speaking, she bowed to Nangong Yueze, and then turned to leave.

Seeing Soho walking away, Jiu Ge turned his eyes to look at Nangong Yueze on the side, "Xiao Ze...... What's going on out there, and who are those people? ”

Hearing this, Nangong Yueze did not answer immediately, and asked rhetorically: "Why did you suddenly come here??" ”

"I ......" Jiu Ge lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, and after a long time, she whispered: "I was worried about your safety, so I came here overnight, I guess you should be here ......"

"Do you know who those are? You're just a first-order spirit sect, so you dare to follow them here?! Nangong Yueze's handsome face was slightly cold, and his eyes were mixed with a little anger.

Hearing Nangong Yueze reprimand him like this, Jiu Ge lowered his head, his heart full of grievances, "But I'm really worried about you...... I've just perfected my swordsmanship, and it took me more than an hour to fly here, and I ......"

Nangong Yueze didn't speak, just stared at her for a moment, with strange emotions flashing in her eyes.

Feeling his burning eyes, Jiu Ge nervously grabbed the corner of her clothes, and after a while, she whispered: "Xiao Ze, don't look at me like that, I know I was reckless tonight, but I'm afraid that you have something wrong...... I ......" At the end, her voice became quieter and quieter, "Forget it, I'd better go and rest first......"

With that, she hurriedly turned around and prepared to leave.

However, as soon as her figure shook, she was grabbed by Nangong Yueze's arm.

"Wait a minute!" There was a slight tenderness in his voice, "Are you really worried about me that you took the risk to come?" ”

Hearing Nangong Yueze's words, Jiu Ge was stunned, and after a long time, she bit her lip lightly and nodded slowly, "It's true." ”

Although they hadn't known each other for a long time, she felt that he was a special existence for her.

She likes him and just wants to be there for him all the time.

Nangong Yueze was silent for a while, and suddenly reached out and took her whole person into his arms.

"Ozawa?"

Feeling Nangong Yueze's actions, Jiu Ge was suddenly surprised, and an indescribable feeling surged all over his body in an instant.

This is the first time that Nangong Yueze has taken the initiative to approach her, let alone in such an environment.

She looked up at the other person's angular face, and her heartbeat began to accelerate.

"Ozawa, I'm ......" Jiuge's cheeks flushed.

Nangong Yueze stared at her steadily, the emotion in his eyes became more and more intense, and after a long time, he buried his head in her ear, lightly opened his thin lips and said: "I forgive you this time, you are not allowed to do such a dangerous thing in the future." ”

"yes, I see." Jiu Ge obediently responded, "Can you tell me now, what's going on outside?" ”

"It's getting late, you can go and rest." Nangong Yueze let go of her and changed the subject.

"But you haven't answered my question yet......" Jiu Ge blinked twice.

"What, you're not going to take tomorrow's assessment?" Nangong Yueze raised her eyebrows and looked at her.

"Nope." Jiu Ge shook his head and hurriedly retreated some distance, "I'll go and rest." ”

"Hmm." Nangong Yueze bowed, "I'll accompany you back to Purple Void City early tomorrow morning." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left directly.

Jiu Ge stood in place, staring at Nangong Yueze's departing back in a daze, and the throbbing in his heart became more and more intense.

She never thought that one day, she would be able to be so close to him, and she never imagined that one day, he would take the initiative to hug her.

"Ozawa, do you like me too?" Jiu Ge muttered softly.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

On the outskirts of Purple Void City, outside a makeshift tent.

"Commander Li, none of the three hundred dead soldiers sent to Yunhai Town last night have returned." A masked man in black armor and armed with a silver gun was kneeling on the ground, reporting to Li Yangmingyu.

"What!!" Hearing this, Li Yangming narrowed his eyes suspiciously, and a touch of murderous intent flashed under his eyes, "Are so many people all waste??" ”

"Commander Li, what now? Shall we send some more? ”

"Today is the first day of the assessment of the Purple Void Academy, and there are people from various academies and sects everywhere, and we act rashly, for fear that we will attract their attention." Li Yangming narrowed his eyes and pondered.

After hearing this, the masked man nodded and said respectfully: "In that case, let's send some people in disguise to investigate first, and then we will make a decision after we have a clear understanding of the situation in Yunhai Town." ”

"Yes." Li Yangming bowed his head and agreed with the masked man's suggestion, "Pass the order, let the remaining dead soldiers stand by, if there is any news in Yunhai Town, report it quickly!" ”

"Yes!!"
