"Big brother, you're injured." Ningxue laid on her shoulder, which she was already familiar with, and used her hand to gently touch the bloodstains there. Her voice was very soft, but it contained a hint of panic and heartache. Ye Wuchen whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, Cher. Big brother's injuries have already healed, and that wolf has already been destroyed by your Big Sister Oculum. Listen to me, and don't be sad. Look, your Big Sister Meng is also injured. "
"Yes … I'm not sad."
A drop of water fell on Ye Wuchen's shoulder. She secretly wiped it away, then looked at Meng Zhi and asked with concern, "Big Sister Meng, are you injured too?"
Meng Zhi did not hear what she said. At this moment, she was completely shocked. Ever since she was born, she had never been as shocked as she was now. The attack that Oculum used to destroy the Bloodwind Fenrir reminded her of a book that had been passed down for thousands of years. It was a forbidden spell of darkness that only a God level Dark Archmage had the ability to cast, the Curse of the Dark Demon God. It could cruelly turn every cell of a living creature into dark elements, and then completely dissipate from the world.
Now, a young girl was standing right in front of her, casually describing this terrifying scene.
And the murderous look in this young girl's eyes, as well as the cruel punishment she had given the Bloodwind Fenrir, told her that if she knew that Ye Wuchen's injuries were caused by her, it would not only be the wolf that disappeared just now.
Ye Wuchen naturally knew what the look in her eyes meant. He walked in front of her and asked, "Can you still walk?"
Meng Zhi's gaze moved away from Oculum with great difficulty. She took a few steps forward, and immediately felt a piercing pain in her foot. Her body also swayed a little. Ye Wuchen put down Ningxue and walked forward to support her. Meng Zhi tried to push his hand away, but Ye Wuchen grabbed her wrist and said coldly, "I advise you not to force yourself. Your wound is very deep, and it almost hurt your bones. If you force yourself to walk, the wound will open up again and again, and your entire foot might fester. If that happens, you will become a one-legged fairy."
For a woman who was used to being perfect, not to mention losing a leg, even a few scars would be enough to make her submit obediently. Her face paled and she finally gave up, allowing him to grab her arm and wrap it around his neck.
"Let's go." Ye Wuchen pulled Meng Zhi, who was still in a daze.
Meng Zhi was taken aback. "Aren't you going to piggyback me?"
After asking, she immediately regretted it and turned her face away from him.
Ye Wuchen glanced at her and said with a smile, "You're too greedy. I already feel aggrieved that I have to help you walk like this. You actually want me to carry you …"
"You … You … Let go of me. I can walk by myself." Meng Zhi's face was as red as blood. She pushed Ye Wuchen away forcefully. Ignoring the pain in her foot, she stubbornly staggered forward.
Ye Wuchen looked at her back and said softly, "Women are indeed narrow-minded creatures. It's a pity … You saw something you shouldn't have. Even if you want to leave now, you can't. "
After a few minutes, they reached the end of the forest. In front of them was a huge manor. Right in front of them was a brown gate. On the gate hung a gold-inlaid plate with the words "Ximen" written on it.
"I see. We've been heading south and accidentally entered the Ximen clan's territory. No wonder there's such a powerful formation here," Ye Wuchen said. He had long heard of the Ximen clan when he was in Tianlong City. The Ximen clan had an important position in the south of Tenryū Province. They stood in a tripod with the Dongfang clan, the Nangong clan, and the North Sea clan. They supported each other. If one of them was attacked, the other three would definitely follow suit. Therefore, no one dared to provoke these four great magical and martial clans. This was also the law of survival that these four great magical and martial clans relied on to survive for hundreds of years.
"This is actually the Ximen clan's territory." Meng Zhi's expression changed. Although she never went out, she was very familiar with all the major forces in the world. She knew the Ximen clan's influence much better than Ye Wuchen.
At this moment, most of her body weight was leaning on Ye Wuchen. Her right arm was hooked around his neck. Her left foot was on the ground, and her injured right foot was lightly touching the ground. The posture was extremely ambiguous. Her stubbornness did not last long. Because of the pain in her foot and the fear of the "one-legged fairy", she compromised and was supported by Ye Wuchen. Being so close to a man was unimaginable for her in the past. But now, there was only a little bit of resistance in her heart. Another voice steadily gained the upper hand: I was hugged by him, and even my foot was touched by him … That's nothing. Anyway, I'll … kill him in the future.
The gate of the Ximen clan was tightly shut. Only a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes stood in front of the gate. Seeing them coming out of the forest, he hurriedly greeted them with a smile. "I didn't know you were coming. It's really a sin not to welcome you. I wonder … "
The young man's voice suddenly stopped, and a surprised expression appeared on his face. At first, Ye Wuchen thought that the young man had temporarily lost his mind because of Oculum or Meng Zhi. But when he looked carefully, he found that the young man's eyes were actually fixed on his face. He became suspicious.
The young man's expression began to change from surprise to enthusiasm. He said excitedly, "Are you Ye Gongzi from Celestial Dragon City?"
"Oh? You know me? "Ye Wuchen looked him up and down several times. He was sure that he had never seen this person before. In that case, the only possibility was that …
The young man became even more excited. He hurriedly said, "My surname is Ximen, and my first name is Qing. I was fortunate enough to see Ye Gongzi's elegant demeanor in Celestial Dragon City that day. I was amazed by him, but I was ashamed that I didn't know him. I didn't expect that I would be fortunate enough to see Ye Gongzi here today. I almost thought that my eyes were playing tricks on me."
Ximen … Qing!? Ye Wuchen's whole body stiffened for a moment. Of all the names, why did he choose such a personality?
Ximen Qing lowered his head and only looked at Ye Wuchen. He didn't hide the eagerness and surprise in his eyes. He didn't even dare to look at Oculum and Meng Zhi. Previously, he was very far away, and he almost lost his mind. How could he dare to look at them now? As the young master of the Ximen clan, how could he not know how to conduct himself?
"I see. Brother Ximen is overpraising me. How could my skills be worthy of your Ximen clan's attention? "Ye Wuchen said with a smile. With the influence of the Ximen clan, what made Ye Wuchen feel strange was not that they had the ability to enter the arena, but why would they watch a competition that could be considered "boring" to them.
"Hey! Ye Gongzi, what are you talking about? Ye Gongzi is so young. Not only is his martial skills outstanding, but his wisdom and talent are also amazing. That day, my father and I happened to be in Celestial Dragon City. We entered the city to take a look out of boredom. I didn't expect that I would be fortunate enough to see such an extraordinary person. When I told my family about Ye Gongzi's talent, most of them didn't dare to believe it. From this, it can be seen that Ye Gongzi's talent is truly shocking. "Ximen Qing said with a smile.
Ye Wuchen didn't want to continue this topic. He straightened his expression and asked, "The four of us originally wanted to go to the Flame Dragon City in the south, but we didn't expect to accidentally enter this place. It should have caused quite a bit of trouble for Brother Ximen, right?"
Ximen Qing said with a bitter smile, "Indeed, it really is quite a bit of trouble. I already knew that someone had intruded into this Thousand Illusion Formation, but I thought that it was someone with bad intentions who wanted to enter my Ximen clan. Usually, those who intrude are people that my Ximen clan refuses to see. So I didn't pay attention to it. I didn't expect that it was actually Ye Gongzi. The moment I saw Ye Gongzi, I knew that you must have intruded by mistake. If I had known earlier, I, Ximen Qing, would have opened the gates to welcome you … I didn't expect Ye Gongzi to be so powerful that he could actually destroy this Thousand Illusion Formation. It seems that Ye Gongzi's strength isn't just limited to what he had revealed on the stage that day. Hehe, Ye Gongzi, please rest assured, this is my Ximen clan's negligence. Ye Gongzi was only protecting himself, so you can't blame Ye Gongzi. However, I, Ximen Qing, have implicated Ye Gongzi and this young lady in getting injured. This is truly my, Ximen Qing's, fault. If you don't mind, why don't you stay in my Ximen clan for three days and let me, Ximen Qing, express my apologies. It won't be too late to leave after you recover from your injuries. "
He saw the bloodstain on Ye Wuchen's shoulder and the injury on Meng Zhi's leg.
Ye Wuchen shook his head and said with a smile, "Brother Ximen is too polite, these small injuries are nothing. We trespassed into your Ximen clan's Thousand Illusions Formation first, and then destroyed it. We shouldn't have done this, so we only have ourselves to blame for getting injured. Brother Ximen not blaming us is already giving us enough face, so how could we have the face to disturb you? But … "Ye Wuchen used his gaze to look at Meng Zhi and said in a half-joking tone," This fairy unfortunately lost her footing, so it will be inconvenient for her to walk for the next few days. Therefore, I'm shamelessly asking for a horse from brother Ximen. "
Ximen Qing straightforwardly said with a smile, "There is no need to be polite about such a small matter, I'll get off the horse …"
Creak … The door behind Ximen Qing was pushed open, and a gorgeous young woman ran out. She anxiously shouted, "My husband!" Then, she held onto Ximen Qing's arm and stood beside him. She vigilantly looked at Ye Wuchen and the others. Her gaze was attracted by Meng Zhi, but after a single glance, she lowered her head. The feeling of inferiority quickly grew and spread from the bottom of her heart. Meng Zhi was simply standing there, but she was already overshadowed by Meng Zhi.
"Lian 'er, why did you come out?" Ximen Qing asked worriedly and reproachfully. Because he didn't know whether the person who destroyed the formation was a friend or a foe, he had everyone hide in the courtyard in order to prevent trouble. Now, he had already let out a long sigh of relief. Even if it was the Ximen Clan, when faced with someone who had the ability to destroy the Thousand Illusion Formation, they would try their best not to make an enemy out of them.
"I was worried about you, so …"
Ximen Qing's way of addressing the young woman made Ye Wuchen's entire body break out in cold sweat. He probed, "Brother Ximen, may I know who this is?"
"Oh! This is my wife. Her surname is Pan, and her name is Jinlian. She is the daughter of the richest man in Jinqing City. "Ximen Qing smiled and introduced her.
Ye Wuchen's expression was a complete mess, and he couldn't say a single word for a long time.
Seeing his strange expression, Ximen Qing asked, "Looking at Ye Gongzi's expression, could it be that you've seen my wife before?"
Ye Wuchen hurriedly waved his hands. "No, no. I just feel that Brother Ximen and this Miss Pan are really a rare perfect match. I was just sighing in admiration."
Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian … were husband and wife. If this wasn't a perfect match, then what was?
