Chapter 32: The Struggle Before the Duel

Yan Feng suddenly thought about whether he liked Xiao Ruoyu like Ma Yan and Guo Lingyi. Since Xiao Ruoyu left, there have always been some feelings in my heart that I can't say. The only thing I can feel is that I feel very uncomfortable.

So he wanted to ask Ma Yan what it was like to like someone, and he wanted to make sure.

Yan Feng and Ma Yan's words did not deliberately lower their voices, and this grass hut was not big, so all the words they talked about were heard by Yun Xiang. Originally, Yunxiang didn't pay special attention to the two. And this is when he suddenly heard Yan Feng ask such a question, his expression immediately became energetic, "Hmm"?

Yun Xiang was really smart, and he found the key to the problem as soon as he opened his mouth.

Ma Yan originally lowered her head, but when she suddenly heard Yun Xiang's words, she also woke up. looked at Yan Feng aggressively, and said, "Is this what it looks like?"

Seeing the aggressive appearance of the two, as if they wanted to dig out all the things in their hearts, Yan Feng smiled bitterly again and said, "Actually, I'm not sure." ”

Ma Yan seemed to have forgotten what had been angry with Yan Feng before, and when she heard him say this at this moment, she immediately asked curiously: "Who? Do I know? Why didn't I know that you had other friends? I didn't expect you to have other friends like this."

A series of questions almost blinded Yan Feng, and he really didn't know how to answer Ma Yan's questions, so he only kept smiling bitterly.

"Is it the woman who accompanied you before?" Yun Xiang said another calm word, which made Yan Feng have to admire this friend of his.

Yan Feng nodded slightly, and then suddenly shook his head. Ma Yan looked at his movements and couldn't help shouting: "Nodding and shaking your head again, what do you mean, is what Yunxiang said right?"

Yan Feng smiled bitterly: "It's indeed that person, but I'm not sure." ”

Ma Yan hurriedly asked again: "Then how do you feel with her, and when did you find out?"

Yun Xiang looked at Yan Feng, his eyes revealing a determined color. Obviously, he also wanted to know what Yan Feng had experienced along the way after he disappeared.

Yan Feng felt the intention of the two of them, and smiled bitterly again. After a slight hesitation, he told what happened on the road with Xiao Ruoyu. But he still didn't tell Xiao Ruoyu that she was the princess of the Demon Sect, it was a secret that belonged to Xiao Ruoyu.

Yan Feng told the things along the way, he didn't experience much, but he felt that these few days were really the longest moment in his life. As he narrates, Ma Yan's expression is the best performance of the audience.

After hearing him say that the two of them were drugged, Ma Yan's eyes were obviously staring at him unkindly. As if to say that if he did something wrong later, he would never be let go. Next, as she wished, Yan Feng soaked herself in water and unravel the drug. Ma Yan's eyes were even more weird, as if they were a little incredible.

When talking about Li Tianao, Ma Yan had an angry expression on her face, as if she was also angry at Li Tianao's actions. And after Yun Xiang heard the sword killing, his eyes lit up obviously. He also uses a sword, so naturally he cares more about this kind of thing.

After a long time, after Yan Feng finished saying these things in one breath, he slowly sat down on a stool, picked up a cup of tea on the table, and drank it. When he finished talking about these things, he thought that he was relieved. It is as if he is sharing the hidden story in his heart with others, and the protagonist of this story is himself.

His gaze swept over Ma Yan and Yun Xiang slightly, only to see that Ma Yan's gaze was already dull, obviously he didn't expect Yan Feng to suffer so much and experience so many things. And although Yun Xiang's face was still cold, the surprise in his eyes could not be concealed.

"After listening to it for so long, you should have told me!" Yan Feng looked at Ma Yan's stunned gaze and reminded him.

Ma Yan listened to Yan Feng's reminder before she came to her senses. His face was red, he had just heard Yan Feng tell it so excitingly that he didn't notice the details of the two protagonists in this story, and he was secretly a little ashamed in his heart.

"Why did she leave?" Yun Xiang suddenly asked. Yan Feng didn't tell Xiao Ruoyu's identity, and Chen Ting's matter naturally didn't mention. Just said that after she saved herself, she said goodbye without saying goodbye.

"I don't know", Yan Feng smiled helplessly, and then explained: "Maybe she's afraid of dragging me down."

When he said this, Yan Feng suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart, because he already had an answer to this sentence.

"It's not easy for me to make up my mind about things between you", Ma Yan explained to Yan Feng, and then saw the look of loss in Yan Feng's eyes, she felt a little unbearable, and continued: "But she should also have feelings for you, otherwise she won't be afraid of dragging you down and leave." You can ask her the next time you see her."

Next time, when is the next time? She is now being hunted down by the people of the Demon Sect, and her life is in danger every day, is there really a next time? Yan Feng is really not sure.

Suddenly, he remembered Chen Ting again.

But his eyes became firm. Suddenly stood up, Ma Yan and Yun Xiang were both stunned. Then a determined voice sounded: "I'm going to inquire about her".

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then looked approvingly at the same time. Ma Yan smiled: "That's right!"

Although Yun Xiang didn't say anything, the support in his eyes was worth a thousand words.

Yan Feng looked at the two of them and smiled slightly, turned around and turned to open the stuffiness of the grass house. The door opened, but Yan Feng was stunned for a moment, and it was Guo Lingyi who was standing at the door.

"You want to go out"? Guo Lingyi was still expressionless, but his eyes seemed to be escaping the tenderness transmitted by Ma Yan. He seemed to know that as long as he came into contact with Ma Yan's gaze, he would be melted.

"Find someone", Yan Feng replied briefly.

Guo Lingyi looked at his gaze and suddenly found a firmness that he had never seen before.

After all, he was Guo Lingyi, and suddenly asked: "How many days will your injuries heal?"

Ma Yan and Yun Xiang didn't understand why he suddenly cared about Yan Feng's injury, but Yan Feng himself understood that Guo Lingyi was determining when he would be able to duel with him.

Although he was very reluctant to fight him in his heart, Yan Feng still replied, "Ten days later."

Guo Lingyi frowned, as if he felt that the time was a bit long, but he didn't say anything after all, just reminded him indifferently. "I hope you don't forget", after saying that, he immediately turned around and disappeared from the vision of the three of them.

He walked so fast, so hurriedly! He was obviously not afraid of anyone in this world, but he seemed to be only afraid of Ma Yan's tender gaze. Because he knew that once he came into contact with her, that gaze would be enough to turn his piece of ice into a wisp of water.

Ma Yan looked at the direction in which Guo Lingyi disappeared with some loss, and her eyes seemed to be a little moist. Guo Lingyi has been ignoring himself for the past two days, and he hasn't even looked at himself. Could it be because of Yan Feng's previous words? No, absolutely not?

But why?

Suddenly, Ma Yan remembered something worth paying attention to, and the attention made her heart tremble a little. Suddenly jumped in front of Yan Feng and asked, "What did he mean by what he said just now?"

Yan Feng looked at Ma Yan's anxious eyes, sighed secretly, and said, "The day I recover from my injury, it will be the time when the two of us duel." After speaking, it seemed that his heart had drifted to find Xiao Ruoyu, and he ignored Ma Yan and walked out.

Duel, duel. Ma Yan's eyes suddenly widened, as if she had thought of something bad. I was about to say something again, but when I looked up, I found that Yan Feng had already disappeared into this grass hut.

............

Yan Feng returned to the previous inn, but he was disappointed, Chen Ting and the others were no longer here. Only Chen Ting could possibly find Xiao Ruoyu, but now that he is gone, what can he do?

smiled helplessly again, but this smile was a little bitter, a little self-deprecating, and a little desperate.

Returning the same way, Yan Feng's heart was full of loss, and the hope that he had finally seen was shattered.

Perhaps, I will never see Xiao Ruoyu in this life! Perhaps, I just have nothing to do with her. Yan Feng became more and more aware at this time that Xiao Ruoyu had an important position in his heart.

When he walked to the door of the thatched hut, he suddenly saw a figure standing there. Yan Feng looked up without any spirit, and that person was Ma Yan.

I saw that Ma Yan looked a little hesitant at the moment, pursing her lips slightly, as if she was thinking about something. Yan Feng was not in the mood to say anything to her at the moment, just said hello and was about to enter the house.

Suddenly, Ma Yan actually swept past Yan Feng and stood directly in front of him to block his way.

Yan Feng was slightly stunned and asked, "Miss Ma, is there anything else?"

Ma Yan's expression at this moment actually changed back to the way she was when her brother died, serious, cold, and her eyes were a little gloomy. Yan Feng was a little surprised when she saw her appearance, and she didn't understand how she became like this.

"Do you really want to duel with him?" Ma Yan spoke, and the person she was talking about was naturally Guo Lingyi.

Yan Feng's expression darkened, and he sighed: "It's not that I want to duel, it's him."

Ma Yan's expression was a little painful, her tone was a little choked, and she said: "Then why do you agree, can't you refuse him?"

"I don't have a choice".

"Why"?

"It's his heart's desire, and I can't refuse. If I refuse, he will be miserable. He didn't say the rest of the words. If he's in pain, you won't be happy.

"But if something happens to the two of you, I will be more painful", Ma Yan gritted her teeth, and clenched her skillful hands, as if she was trying her best to restrain something.

Yan Feng couldn't bear to see her like this, so she turned her head and said gloomily: "I have no choice."

"Why can't you refuse?" Ma Yan asked, Yan Feng closed his eyes and did not answer.

"Can't you two survive well?" Ma Yan asked again, but Yan Feng still didn't answer.

"Even if it's for me, can't you?"

When Yan Feng heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Ma Yan, and jumped down.

After a long time, Yan Feng said a little weirdly: "Why are you using these words to persuade me, instead of persuading him"?

Ma Yan was stunned, and subconsciously said: "The things he decided will definitely not change, but you ......."

Before she finished speaking, Yan Feng smiled weirdly at her and said, "I, is it easy to reverse what I decided, or have I never decided anything?"

Ma Yan was stunned again, she never thought that Yan Feng would also say such things, he didn't know what Yan Feng had experienced along the way. Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but laugh at myself. Yes, I've only known him for a few days, so how can I really get to know him?

Yan Feng didn't care about her mental activities, in fact, she also regretted it. Because he didn't find any clues about Xiao Ruoyu, his heart has always been unhappy. Ma Yan's tone was much softer, looking up at the sky, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was explaining to Ma Yan.

"I didn't think I had a temper too!"

After speaking, he ignored Ma Yan, passed by her, and walked towards the grass hut.

"Stop", a coquettish shout, and then Yan Feng felt a cool breeze coming from behind.

Shocked in his heart, he knew that it was Ma Yan's voice when he heard the voice, Yan Feng didn't expect Ma Yan to suddenly make a move on him. With his right foot stepping forward, and then turning sideways, Ma Yan's attack missed.

When Yan Feng turned around, he saw that Ma Yan didn't know where to take out a wooden knife. Her previous mandarin duck knife had not been retrieved in the punishment department, so she sharpened another wooden knife.

Yan Feng frowned and looked at Ma Yan, only to see that Ma Yan's expression was slightly painful and hesitant. But he still changed to a determined look, looked at Yan Feng, and said in a deep voice: "Let me ask you again, do you give up the duel with him?"

Listening to Ma Yan's words, Yan Feng's heart rose with a depressing aura that he had never felt before. The disappearance of Xiao Ruoyu's traces has already made him feel very uncomfortable. At the same time, his eyes were no longer soft, and he also stared at Ma Yan, his voice was a little low.

"What if I say no?".

Ma Yan regretted that she was so reckless, but since the matter had come to this point, it was obviously impossible to end, and said: "Since this is the case, defeat me first", after speaking, he held the wooden knife and went straight to Yan Feng,

Yan Feng frowned, knowing that today's events could not end well. With a flick of his left hand, the internal force formed a force around his arm, wanting to deflect the wooden knife in Ma Yan's view.

Suddenly, Yan Feng felt that something was wrong, the internal force contained in this wooden knife was extremely strong, and he couldn't even deviate. Shocked, he hurriedly pulled back.

only heard the sound of "swish", and the sleeve of the left arm had been cut off by Ma Yan. Yan Feng broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, secretly scolding himself for being so careless. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise it would have been as simple as cutting off a sleeve?

"You'd better not underestimate me", Ma Yan saw that she actually succeeded in one blow, and she was a little happy in her heart. Of course she knew Yan Feng's martial arts, and she didn't plan to win him, but she didn't expect to apologize as soon as she came up.

Yan Feng looked at his severed sleeve and sighed in his heart, Ma Yan didn't know what he had experienced, his martial arts had improved so fast. However, although he was almost injured, he was still happy for Ma Yan's progress.

"Don't be distracted", Ma Yan reminded Yan Feng again, and at the same time, the wooden knife in his hand also followed. Yan Feng's eyes flashed, and he knew that he couldn't underestimate Ma Yan anymore, and he couldn't even underestimate anyone.

"Da", the jade flute knocked on the wooden knife. Ma Yan's arm was slightly numb, and she unconsciously stepped back. And Yan Feng changed his humble style at this moment, and when he got the upper hand, he was unreasonable, and he attacked like thunder.

Ma Yan also didn't expect Yan Feng to become so aggressive, wielding a wooden knife and resisting with difficulty, and fought more than 20 moves in a blink of an eye.

Yan Feng was even more surprised. Although Ma Yan fell into disadvantage, Yan Feng had to work hard to defeat her. She has a very good grasp of the timing of some dangerous places. Far beyond before, her knife skills are more mature than before.

This is not something that can be practiced by ordinary practice, it must have gone through life and death!

Although Yan Feng sighed at Ma Yan's martial arts improvement, the movements in his hands did not stop. One move is better than another, although Ma Yan's martial arts have improved a lot, but after all, he is not Yan Feng's opponent.

Seeing that she was about to lose, Ma Yan remembered that two important people were going to fight a life-and-death duel, and she gritted her teeth violently, and the wooden knife turned out to be horizontal, stabbing her chest in reverse.

Yan Feng was shocked, he never wanted to see Ma Yan injured. The jade flute hurriedly reached forward and pressed against the wooden knife. Who knows, this is Ma Yan's left hand, but it suddenly wrapped around Yan Feng's hand holding the jade flute, and held his life. At the same time, the hand holding the wooden knife quickly attacked Yan Feng, even if it was Yan Feng, he was helpless when the life gate was detained.

"Huh", although it is a wooden knife, it still runs through Yan Feng's body. Yan Feng snorted, covered his left shoulder and half-knelt on the ground, beads of sweat like soybeans on his head dripping down.

He never thought that he would be defeated in the hands of Ma Yan like this.

Ma Yan looked at Yan Feng's painful appearance, a trace of unbearability flashed in her eyes, and tears appeared faintly. And looking at Yan Feng's injured left shoulder, he slowly raised the wooden knife. She won't kill Yan Feng, but she can't let him duel with Guo Lingyi.

Looking at Yan Feng's sweating appearance, Yan Feng's mind flashed to save himself again and again, and the wooden knife he raised could not fall.

Suddenly, Yan Feng's figure was covered by another picture. Guo Lingyi stood in front of him to resist the situation of the hidden weapon in the sky.

As long as Yan Feng was injured, he couldn't duel with Guo Lingyi. That way, neither of them would have to die.

Ma Yan didn't want to do this, but she was always afraid in her heart, and she was all too familiar with the word duel. Her sister-in-law, who died because of a duel. His brother also died because of a duel. This time, her lover is going to duel again, and she will never allow such a thing to happen again.

Moreover, both of them are so important to themselves!

Looking at Yan Feng's face, looking at his injured left shoulder. This knife has finally fallen!

"I hope you can let me fulfill my wish, if this wish is not fulfilled, I am afraid that I will not be able to be with you"!

"If you hurt the Magic Flute of the East China Sea, it will take him a little more time to recover. I waited longer, and if he didn't duel with me, I would have to wait one more day and suffer a little more. So I hope you can support me and let me ...... Happy".

Ma Yan's wooden knife fell, but it didn't fall on Yan Feng. A broad, powerful hand stopped her. The face is expressionless, but the eyes seem to escape their gaze.

"Isn't there any other choice?" Ma Yan said in a trembling voice as she looked at the man who stopped her.

The man said in a somewhat firm tone: "No, there is only this one."

When Ma Yan heard this, her heart twitched violently, and tears flowed down inintuitively. Guo Lingyi's heart tightened, and his arms were slightly spread, as if he wanted to hug Ma Yan, but his eyes flashed and he finally gave up. He was afraid, afraid that he would never let go of this hug again.

"He won't die", Yan Feng suddenly stood up from the ground with difficulty and said to the crying Ma Yan.

Guo Lingyi and Ma Yan looked at him unconsciously, and then Yan Feng said calmly: "Because he is a good person, God will not let a good person die."

If this sentence is heard in the ears of other Jianghu people, it will definitely laugh off its big teeth. That is obviously the language of deceiving children. But at this moment, listening to Ma Yan's ears, it was a burst of warmth. Thinking that he had hurt Yan Feng because of his own selfish desires, he suddenly felt guilty. Thinking of the time when Yan Feng used his body to shield himself from harm, tears surged even more, and the color of guilt was even more than a few points.

"Yan Feng, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have ......", he suddenly poured into Yan Feng's arms and cried out loudly.

The moment he poured into Yan Feng's arms, Yan Feng's wound was touched. But as if he didn't feel it at all, he calmly hugged Ma Yan.

"Don't blame yourself, I understand you".

Guo Lingyi looked at Ma Yan in Yan Feng's arms, his gaze was extremely unnatural. But he didn't say anything, he knew that Ma Yan needed comfort now, and he obviously couldn't comfort her.

Yan Feng patted Ma Yan's back, listening to her voice gradually becoming smaller, and breathed a sigh of relief. When I looked up, I saw Guo Lingyi's strange eyes, which seemed to be expressing something. Yan Feng smiled slightly, and seemed to explain something.

The woman in her arms has always been very pitiful, and her relatives around her have left one after another. Yan Feng pitied her, but only pity.

He knows that no matter what, the woman in his arms will always be friends with him in the future!
