Вдовствующая императрица Сяосюань

Глава 82

Ru Feng remained unmoved, not even glancing at her, but staring intently into Xiao Qing's eyes: "I want to see Yun Tianze!"

"Our young master will not see you!" Xiaoqing glared at Rufeng hatefully, gritted her teeth, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.

Ru Feng squinted, smoothed the hair that the wind had blown across his face, and raised a light smile. Dressed in a simple blue robe with a plain face, his clothes fluttering in the wind, he possessed a stunning beauty that could captivate all beings. Yet, he was clearly a man, and the soft sword in his hand was now gleaming with a soft, eerie white light, which added a touch of bloodlust.

The scene was so eerie it was unsettling!

The gray-clad men around them all took a step forward at the same time.

Ru Feng continued chuckling, "Xiao Qing, do you need me to tell you the secret deep in your heart?" His tone was suggestive.

Xiaoqing remained unmoved and said coldly, "Get out of my way! I'll let you off the hook because you were classmates with the young master for a year. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Ru Feng picked up the sword in his hand and gently stroked it, saying, "Xiao Qing, do you hate me? Do you even wish I were dead? While I, Yu Chi Ru Feng, may not be universally loved, I do have quite a few admirers. The way they look at me is the same way you look at me..."

Ru Feng didn't finish his sentence, but Xiao Qing's expression immediately changed, and her voice softened as she said, "Young Master Ru Feng, please step aside. My young master will not see you."

Ru Feng's smile faded, and she said sarcastically, "Is it that you don't want to see him, or that you're afraid to see him? What's done is done, what's there to be afraid of? We've known each other for over a year, or..." Ru Feng's eyes darted around, and she continued, "Or is it that your young master was already bedridden and has passed away?"

Xiaoqing was furious and said, "My young master is not dead! He's still lying safely in the carriage!"

With a sharp slash of his longsword, he said in a firm voice, "Yun Tianze, come out here!"

Xiaoqing's face was full of regret, blaming herself for being too easily fooled.

Soon after, Xiaoqing ducked inside, and a clear, melodious voice rang out: "You should go back!"

Ru Feng remained silent, only pressing her lips tightly together.

"Which bead do you want?" Yun Tianze asked, but even through the carriage curtain, Ru Feng felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

Ru Feng gritted his teeth and said, "That was originally mine."

"I can't give this to you, and you put it in my hand yourself."

Ru Feng fell silent again, unable to refute the statement. After a long while, he said with a sour tone, "I was too trusting of people."

The atmosphere was silent, with only the sound of the wind blowing gently and the leaves rustling.

Ru Feng, recalling her past life with Yun Tianze, broke the silence and said, "You've been lying to us all along, lying to me!" Her heart ached, and her mouth tasted bitter, a hundred times more bitter than the herbs her master had forced her to drink when she was a child to help her build her foundation!

Yun Tianze finally made his move. A jade-like hand reached out, lifted the curtain, and revealed a stunningly beautiful face. At that moment, he was looking at Ru Feng.

Ru Feng also looked at him, both of their eyes flashing with complex emotions.

Yun Tianze sighed softly, "We can never go back."

Ru Feng glanced at Yun Tianze and said, "Your health has always been good." His tone was uncertain because Yun Tianze's complexion was rosy and no longer pale, making him even more stunningly beautiful.

Yun Tianze did not refute.

Ru Feng's heart clenched, and Zhong Tian's heart turned cold. He gave a self-deprecating laugh and said coldly, "You're right, we can never go back. Give me back the bead!" As soon as he finished speaking, he had already drifted over like a wisp of green smoke. The soft sword in his hand was infused with internal energy, becoming cold and dazzling, like the sharpest arrow piercing straight towards Yun Tianze.

Yun Tianze seemed oblivious, his hand that was holding the carriage curtain remained still, his eyes fixed on Ru Feng.

Ru Feng's eyes were resolute, filled with a desperate despair, but before he could even get close to Yun Tianze, the gray-clad men around him swarmed forward, forcing Ru Feng to turn halfway and fight the group of gray-clad men.

Amidst the flashing blades and splattering blood, bodies tumbled and clothes fluttered, gray robes and blue shirts intertwined, the jarring sound of metal clashing rang out, and the leaves on the treetops rustled violently, as if weeping.

Ru Feng felt she had never been so calm before. In the past, when she fought with others, she would always be nervous and uneasy. Even when she was very confident, her mind would wander. But at this moment, her mind was completely blank. She didn't think about anything, but her hands skillfully used everything she had learned, swinging the sword in her hand in a hollow way. One by one, bodies fell down, and the bloody liquid sprayed onto her face and her hands, but she was completely unaware of it.

Unintentionally, Yun Tianze's face appeared in her field of vision, staring straight at her without any emotion.

A moment of distraction.

Hot blood spurted out.

A tingling, burning pain shot through my right arm, overwhelming all my senses...

It hurts, yet it doesn't hurt, because the sword in my hand is still being swung tirelessly.

........

"Are you really that eager to help those two brothers get the bead?" Yun Tianze murmured, but his words clearly reached Ru Feng's ears.

Ru Feng was covered in blood, her eyes were bloodshot, and her voice was hoarse but strong: "That's right!"

Yun Tianze seemed to shudder, and suddenly threw a box out of his hand, saying, "Here, take it all!"

The box shot obliquely into the flashing swords. Ru Feng was startled and was about to snatch it when even more swords reached for the box. The bloodthirsty man swung his longsword down without mercy!

Ru Feng stared blankly as the bead, which emitted a faint blue-purple light even in daylight, shattered before his eyes...

More swords couldn't stop their momentum, and the unique bead that everyone dreamed of was finally reduced to dust.

Everyone was stunned. Ru Feng looked at the long sword in his hand and slowed down.

A sharper pain shot through his shoulder, and the longsword in his hand fell silently to the yellow earth, turning into a limp belt. His body swayed slightly before finally collapsing, raising dust and creating a hazy, yellowish hue.

She was just unwilling to accept it... Ru Feng glanced at Yun Tianze's shocked face and then fell into the darkness.

*******

"Young Master, it's time to go. There might be pursuers behind us." Xiaoqing's voice rang out again.

Yun Tianze stared at the figure lying on the ground, expressionless and as still as a statue. The shock he had just experienced seemed to be nothing more than a fleeting illusion.

"Young Master!" The coachman, who had remained seated the whole time, called out, cracked his whip, and the carriage sped away, narrowly missing Ru Feng, leaving behind a hazy cloud of dust.
