Chapitre 95

A roar.

Tang Leyan lifted her robe and ran two steps in the opposite direction, getting far away from Chu Gexing.

Chu Gexing stood there, a chill creeping into his heart.

She was indeed obedient, but unfortunately, what he most wanted her to obey was something she had just refused.

How pathetic. Jian said, "It wouldn't have been necessary to go to such lengths. Come to think of it, it seems there were some conflicts between Sword Pavilion and others. One of the people involved turned against Sword Pavilion and left, then secretly founded a mysterious organization... Ha, the name 'mysterious organization' really has a certain feel to it..."

Because of the disdainful looks from Tang Leyan and Chu Gexing, Beitang Yujian coughed and said, "This person seems to have quite a bit of prestige. He has won over a few traitors who left the Sword Pavilion before, and together they have taught a few apprentices. Hey, you two, don't look at me like that. All this information is internal news from the Sword Pavilion, and it is kept secret from outsiders."

“We two really have quite a bit of influence.” Tang Leyan looked at Chu Gexing and suddenly laughed. “Or perhaps it’s Lord Chu who has quite a bit of influence.”

"Then do you know why that person turned against Sword Pavilion back then?"

"I don't know, it seems like it was because of some kind of trauma. Nobody knows exactly what it was. Maybe we can only ask the person involved."

"Um……"

Tang Leyan looked at Chu Gexing: "What? What came to mind?"

"No, I was just curious."

"Oh," she replied. "If the truth isn't found out soon, something truly terrible might happen in Shundu."

"Um."

Le Yan remained silent, but suddenly thought of that night.

The way Chu Zhen risked his life to protect her.

Looking at the horrific scene on the ground, it seemed that these people, with their ruthless methods and the strange assassins they discovered in the Military Affairs Bureau today, had never let up on their plans for Chu Zhen.

Thus, Chu Zhen's danger was not yet over, and Le Yan frowned.

Seemingly sensing her worry, Beitang Yujian reached out and patted her shoulder.

Le Yan looked up.

"Alright." Beitang Yujian waved his hand. "Since I've taken this matter into my hands, then... don't worry, I'll get to the bottom of this as soon as possible."

"Given your current situation with absolutely no clues, what can you possibly find out?" Tang Leyan expressed her doubt.

"I have a brilliant plan." Beitang Yujian turned around. "Gentlemen, please take your leave first. Until we meet again."

He waved to Chu Gexing as he walked.

Chu Gexing gave a cold snort, pretending not to see it.

Tang Leyan chuckled: "Lord Chu, why be so cold? What's wrong with being a little more enthusiastic?"

Chu Gexing glared at her: "You two really hit it off immediately and are in cahoots. I suspect that you two are long-lost brothers."

Her expression froze.

Chu Gexing observed this and asked, "What?"

"Ha, haha, no," Le Yan smiled. "Just take it as a compliment." She smiled hastily. After bidding farewell to Chu Gexing, she walked slowly down the road with her hands behind her back.

How do I get back?

He walked back without batting an eye. It was a bit too embarrassing.

After much thought, she realized she had been too hasty. What did Luo Ling matter? She'd already said the Grand Secretary had no interest in her. No matter how gentle or caring she was, she was just a female official. A lady-in-waiting? Hmph, she only called her that out of politeness. Chu Zhen didn't try to distance herself, perhaps because there was no need. The innocent would clear themselves, after all. And why hadn't she thought things through properly back then?

On the way, I unknowingly walked back to the outside of the Military Council Mansion, stood outside the wall, tilted my head and looked at the high wall in front of me, and stood quietly for a while.

In the end, he still couldn't bring himself to do it. After thinking it over, he hardened his heart, turned around, and left without giving himself any more chance to consider or hesitate.

The sky was a bit gloomy, and when Leyan was halfway there, raindrops started to pelt down.

She hurriedly covered her head with her hands and used her lightness skill to move forward.

Just as the raindrops splashed past her, countless beams of white light shot rapidly from around her.

She had just taken a breath, but while she was in mid-air, she hadn't had time to gather her strength again.

The hidden weapon arrived at just the right time, and it was both fast and accurate. Because of the sound of rain and the raindrops, it was almost impossible for anyone to detect it.

Rainy days are indeed perfect for assassinations.

Le Yan stood in the rain, her arms jerking, her red sleeves waving lightly.

It seemed as if red clouds were slowly drifting by, and amidst the pattering raindrops, a few faint tinkling sounds could be heard.

Le Yan smiled and said, "In ancient times, there was the story of sending charcoal in the snow, and today there is the story of sending ice in the rain. Who is this person, and why are you so reluctant to show yourself?"

A cold voice from the shadows said, "Well done!"

In an instant, Yueyan heard the direction from which the sound came. She rolled up her sleeves and shouted, "It's impolite not to return the favor! Receive my return gift!"

Amidst the rain, countless silvery-white ice needles burst forth, rapidly reflecting back towards the direction from which the sound had come.

"To be able to freeze water into ice in an instant, you—are not bad." The voice chuckled softly.

Le Yan was startled; she had already fallen from the sky.

Turning my gaze to the direction from which the ice needles had been shot, I saw countless ice needles flying forward, only to seem to hit an invisible iron plate midway through their flight, making a clanging sound as they fell to the ground. The tiny, silvery-white needles landed and were instantly washed away by the rain, vanishing without a trace.

The rain fell silently.

She stood in the middle of the street, letting her hair and clothes get completely soaked.

After thinking for a while, he turned around and ran two quick steps back the way he came.

Just then, she heard someone call out from behind: "Leyan!" The voice was like heavenly music.

She suddenly stopped, almost unable to believe her ears.

He turned around very slowly and looked back.

Through the drizzle, a familiar black sedan chair came to a stop not far behind. The chair leaned forward, and a person dressed in a dark blue official robe slowly stepped out.

An attendant handed him an umbrella, but the man reached out and took it himself.

Le Yan stood there blankly, feeling the raindrops seep into her eyes, but she was too weak to wipe them away.

It wasn't until his image became somewhat blurry that she reached out and rubbed her eyes.

The man walked slowly and steadily through the rain, step by step.

He remains unchanged for a thousand years, his back straight and strong, one hand holding an umbrella, the other placed on his waist behind him, both dashing, majestic, and very handsome.

He walked up to her, held the umbrella over her head, and whispered, "Where have you been? I waited for you at your house for a long time, but you didn't come back. Why are you standing here in the rain?" He gently brushed away the raindrops from her hair, looking extremely affectionate.

Le Yan listened to the voice and looked up at his face.

Every detail is clearly visible; I look at it again and again, unwilling to look away.

Suddenly, he smiled.

She slowly leaned her head over and rested it against his chest.

She reached out and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist.

Dragon and Tiger Fight in the Capital Chapter 112: Love Between Children

The rain was falling, but the murderous aura had vanished without a trace.

The surroundings were quiet. A sedan chair was placed on the ground, and people were waiting around it.

A green-ribbed umbrella shields two people from the drizzling rain. Under the umbrella, two figures stand quietly.

"Was someone ambushing you here just now?" Chu Zhen lowered his head, his long eyebrows furrowing.

"Yes, but they've already left," Tang Leyan replied softly.

“So arrogant, I’ll send someone to chase after them,” he said, before turning to leave.

"No need, we've already gone far." Yili held on tightly, afraid that he would break free.

Chu Zhen was stunned for a moment, looking at the girl in his arms with such a childlike demeanor. He thought she was frightened, but she was like this, as if she was afraid of the cold, and she was nestled tightly in his arms. His heart softened, and he said softly, "It's too dangerous for you to go out alone. How about I send someone to protect you?"

Le Yan paused for a moment before saying, "No need. If you really want to protect me, then do it yourself."

"Me?" Chu Zhen smiled. "Okay."

"You said it." She nestled into his arms, nuzzling against him, instantly satisfied. "You can't go back on your word."

"Of course not," he reached out and touched her hair, making his chest tickle as he rubbed against it. "I will always protect Leyan."

This is the moment when my heart is bursting with joy.

They were so happy that they forgot to speak.

Chu Zhen thought she was just scared and cold, so he asked, "Shall I take you home?"

"Mmm," she replied softly.

Chu Zhen put his arm around her shoulder, held an umbrella in one hand, and accompanied her slowly back to the sedan chair. He helped her inside first before bowing and entering himself.

In the small sedan chair, she looked up at him and smiled sweetly. Once he was seated, she rested her head on his shoulder, listening to his soft breathing. He asked her many questions, offering words of comfort. She didn't remember what he said, nor did she care; she only listened to his voice. In a hazy state, she felt a pair of warm hands come and embrace hers. The chill that had lingered on her body vanished instantly. Leyan closed her eyes joyfully, feeling that the world could not be more peaceful and joyful than this moment.

Chu Zhen looked at the person beside her as if she were looking at a delicate porcelain doll.

Her hair was half-wet from the rain, her face appeared even paler, but her lips were as red as blood.

When she opened her eyes, they were dark and unfocused, and she looked at him with a bewildered expression, making him feel both love and pity for her. He wished he could protect her deep in his heart.

That's why they said that.

He never imagined that his words would have such a profound impact on the person in his arms.

If the world had any premonition, Chu Zhen would not have let his heart soften to this extent, to the point that in the end, he was forced into a situation with no way out.

At the same time that Leyan was ambushed, on a certain street in Shundu.

The boy in yellow stopped in his tracks.

"Ah? Ha, haha..." A familiar laugh rang out.

The young man in yellow tilted his head and looked around: "Although I admit that I am handsome and beautiful, almost stunningly so, you... don't need to be so eager to follow me halfway, right? Hmm?"

Upon hearing this sound, the assassins lying in ambush realized that their hiding places had been exposed, and they all jumped out from their hiding places.

"One, two, three, four..." Beitang Yujian reached out and pointed at the people in front of him. "Wow, so many. I should have had my brother Yue come with me, but... I can handle it by myself."

He was counting and calculating, rambling on and on, completely disregarding the person in front of him. This had already angered the assassin.
