Shangguan Chen's face was gloomy. He realized that Qu Tingyun's words were mocking him. He turned to look at Li Xin and said with hatred: "Don't you consider the brother and sister behind you?"

"Don't bother to drive a wedge between us."

Qu Tingyun directly exposed Shangguan Chen's intention:

"Last night on the cliff, when you were trying to attack me, it was Li Xin who saved me, and we even fell off the cliff together because of it. If it weren't for the deep pool, we would probably be dead by now."

After hearing this, Xiao Yichen's heart was in turmoil again, and he re-examined the existence of Li Xin.

Brother Fengtian took great care of the siblings and protected them meticulously along the way.

If Li Xin really wanted to harm them, he would first have to get past this steadfast guardian.

In the scene on the cliff, she rushed forward to save Brother Fengtian regardless of her own safety, which seemed to indicate that she did not have the malicious intentions that Shangguan Chen said.

Xiao Yichen had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and his eyes involuntarily fell on Li Xing who was not far away.

Shangguan Chen on the opposite side was also staring at Li Xin, anger and hatred burning in his eyes.

Suddenly, he roared, swung his sword and threw it towards Li Xin! This attack exhausted his internal strength, so that after the sword fell out of his hand, Shangguan Chen spat out a mouthful of blood due to the backlash of his internal strength.

"Traitor! Die!" His voice was full of hatred and despair.

Qu Tingyun hugged Li Xin tightly, ready to use his inner strength to resist the flying blade.

Behind them stood the Xiao brothers and sisters. If they moved even a little, the fatal sword would pierce them directly, so they had to be as steady as a rock.

Faced with such a powerful attack, Qu Tingyun knew that this interception would come at a huge cost.

He was able to easily subdue Shangguan Chen earlier because he seized the initiative, but now the opponent's all-out attack was enough to make him unable to protect himself.

Thinking of this, Qu Tingyun mobilized all his energy and prepared to face this life-and-death battle. Li Xin felt that his strong arms had never left him, and looked up to see his resolute expression.

"Miss Li, don't worry, I will ensure your safety."

His promise was like warm sunshine that penetrated the haze and reached the bottom of the heart.

At this critical moment, the man was only thinking about her safety. This feeling was a warm and protected feeling that Li Xin had never experienced before.

Deep in her heart, an inexplicable power quietly awakened. She gently pushed Qu Tingyun away, and in his surprised eyes, she stood up alone and faced Shangguan Chen's fierce attack.

Shangguan Chen was caught off guard by Li Xin's move. He had originally planned to use this blow to severely injure Qu Tingyun, and thus easily deal with the Xiao brothers and sisters.

I didn't expect that Li Xin would sacrifice herself to ruin his plan. What on earth was she thinking?

He is helping her complete her mission!

Seeing Li Xin injured in the sword light, his right shoulder pierced by the sword, blood gushing out of his mouth, and he fell backwards.

Shangguan Chen wanted to go forward to support her, but a man in black suddenly jumped down from the tree, threw out several smoke bombs, and took Shangguan Chen away by force in the chaos.

"Miss Li!"

Qu Tingyun quickly caught the falling Li Xin. Worried about her injuries, she couldn't focus on chasing after the man in black even though she saw him taking Shangguan Chen away.

"Cough cough..."

Li Xing curled up in Qu Tingyun's arms because of the pain, and every time he coughed, there was blood. The blood splashed on his chest and stained his clothes red.

"Brother Qu, is Sister Li okay?"

Xiao Ruoxin asked anxiously, almost crying. Just now, it was Li Xin who risked his life to block the fatal blow and protected her and her brother.

Shangguan Chen said that Li Xin was here to take their lives, this must be a lie!

He wanted to destroy Li Xin's relationship with them, so he slandered her like that. And I almost believed those words and became suspicious of Li Xin, which was really stupid.

Qu Tingyun looked down at the seriously injured person in his arms, his heart aching as if it were being cut by a knife.

A strong desire to protect him arose spontaneously. He gently picked up Li Xin and said to the Xiao brothers and sisters, "Let's go, and return to Changle Mountain quickly."

Although Longyuanze has abundant medicinal materials, it lacks the necessary medical equipment. Li Xin's injuries are serious and he must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise his life will be in danger.

"let me go!"

Shangguan Chen was dragged by the man in black to a small wooden house. His wound was put under heavy pressure again, causing him to become furious with pain. He shook off the man in black's hand and kicked him hard in the chest.

The kick was quite powerful, but the man in black stood still as if nothing had happened.

"Your brain is getting worse after fighting with Danshi."

The door of the wooden house opened, and Shangguan Jin was pushed out in a wheelchair. He half leaned on the armrest, with his other hand supporting his chin, and looked at Shangguan Chen with a half-smile: "It's really embarrassing for the palace to let someone get hurt like this."

"What are you doing here?" Shangguan Chen's face suddenly changed when he saw the person in front of him. Why did the old guy come?

"Can't I come? You can't even do such a simple thing. There has been no progress in three months. I just came to see what difficulties you are encountering.

I wanted you to urge her to speed up the process, but you didn't stay long enough and ended up like this. You are so incompetent." Shangguan Jin glanced behind him and didn't see Li Xin, so he leaned back in his wheelchair and asked, "Why are you alone? Where's Li Xin?"

Faced with Shangguan Jin's questioning, Shangguan Chen had to tell him the truth about everything that happened in Longyuanze.

Li Xin was seriously injured and seemed to be taken away by them.

Shangguan Chen reluctantly asked his father Shangguan Jin: "Should we send someone to bring Li Xin back?"

Shangguan Jin smiled slightly and said, "It would be beneficial for us if she was taken away, so why should we take her back?

This time, Li Xin took the knife for them. Both Qu Tingyun and the Xiao brothers and sisters will definitely trust her more. This is a good opportunity for Li Xin to take advantage of. "

Shangguan Chen said anxiously: "But..."

He was worried that his heart had been influenced by the other person, and if he continued to stay with them, it would be more difficult to control him.

"You want to see her fail in her mission?"

Shangguan Jin interrupted him, a warning flashing in his eyes: "You should be aware of my rules. There is only one outcome for those who fail the mission. Haven't you always wanted to take her for yourself? Don't you have even this little patience?"

Shangguan Chen gritted his teeth and held back his anger. He knew he couldn't act rashly now. Shangguan Jin had powerful guards around him, and he couldn't compete with them with his current strength. Being impulsive would only make him suffer.

Seeing his son calm down, Shangguan Jin's expression relaxed a little. He tapped the armrest and said, "Go and heal your wounds. When you are well, we will see what happens next."

On the other side, Qu Tingyun brought Li Xin to Changle Mountain.

Before nightfall, they finally reached their destination. After handing the herbs to Xiao Ruoxin, Qu Tingyun hurriedly came to the residence of his master Qu Ruchen with Li Xin in his arms.

"What happened?" Qu Ruchen opened the door and saw the seriously injured Li Xin, and immediately let her in.

Qu Ruchen frowned as he undressed Xin Li's clothes and checked his wound.
