"Thank you!"
Xue Wu's voice was slightly trembling. She was just half a step away from falling into hell. Now, she was unable to regain her senses.
"Zuo Feng, thank you very much. I will remember this kindness in my heart." Xue Wuhen said in a deep voice.
Ye Qinghan slowly turned around. There were at least dozens of wounds on his chest. It could be seen that he paid a huge price to kill the opponent.
Drip — — —
Blood flowed. Ye Qinghan's face was extremely pale. His body was a little light.
"Prince and princess are too polite. This is what I should do. The honorable princess is near the Genius Academy in Cloud City. If you were killed, then it would be my negligence. Now that you are frightened, I, Zuo Feng, feel guilty." Ye Qinghan said in a dignified voice.
"Don't say such words. I am very grateful that you can save Xue Wu. However, I don't have any fire-type healing panacea. You should quickly return to the academy to heal. We will talk after you recover." Xue Wuhen quickly said.
Xue Wu personally went forward to support Ye Qinghan. However, he waved his hand and avoided her. He whispered, "The dirty blood is too dirty. It will inevitably stain the princess's body. I can stand firm."
Xue Wu looked at Ye Qinghan's unapproachable appearance. She felt even more distressed. She thought that what the divine bird said was true. At this moment, she felt a little sad.
"I just want to know which force is the attacker from. Will the person behind him implicate the group of kids in the Genius Academy?" Ye Qinghan frowned and asked.
Xue Wuhen frowned. He didn't expect that Ye Qinghan didn't care about his own injuries. Instead, he cared about the group of kids. How could his temperament be bad? His trust in Ye Qinghan increased by seventy to eighty percent.
"I am not sure which force it is from. However, this is an assassin. He was paid to eliminate the disaster. If an assassin is killed, there shouldn't be any revenge. Now, the biggest assassin forces are Heaven and Hell. There are also some scattered small forces. Their leaders can also do this." Xue Wuhen thought for a moment and said faintly. However, looking at his expression, he should be hiding some information.
Other organizations wouldn't retaliate, but Hell and Heaven, the two major assassin organizations, would likely retaliate after losing such a powerful member.
Ye Qinghan nodded and passed by Xue Wu indifferently, stirring up a cool breeze that lifted his black hair and brushed past Xue Wu's face. The smell of blood was strong, and his desolate back gradually went further and further away.
Xue Wu turned her head and looked at Ye Qinghan's back as he left. It was as if she saw a world full of desolation, filled with sorrow and vicissitudes of life, as if she had experienced endless pain and torture. At this moment, the tip of her nose was sour, and her tears actually flowed out uncontrollably. Perhaps it was because she felt too wronged, because Ye Qinghan simply ignored her.
Xue Wuhen looked at Ye Qinghan's departing figure and his heart palpitated. He then looked at Xue Wu and knew that her heart was relatively soft, but she would not cry. He asked, "Little Wu, what's wrong?"
"Big brother, I'm so sad …" Xue Wu squatted on the ground and cried bitterly, as if she had suffered a great grievance.
"It's okay. In the future, I will let the Border Army follow you. No one will have the chance to assassinate you again." Xue Wuhen said with heartache.
Xue Wu shook her head fiercely. She stared at Xue Wuhen with her watery eyes and said with grievance, "It's not because of the assassination! It's because of him … Looking at his back makes me feel so sad. "
The corner of Xue Wuhen's mouth twitched. Looking at Ye Qinghan's back, it was indeed somewhat desolate. It was completely incomparable to his youth. He was like an old monster who had lived for millions of years.
"Xing Jun, investigate the background of the assassin. If it's a small force, directly uproot it." Xue Wuhen wanted to divert Xue Wu's gaze and said to one of the Border Army experts.
"Yes!" A vigorous young expert bowed and retreated, taking away the assassin's corpse.
…
Xue Wuhen brought Xue Wu back to the City Amongst the Clouds. Hearing Xue Wu talk about Ye Qinghan's identity, she foolishly believed the words of the divine bird and said everything.
Xue Wuhen didn't send people to investigate Ye Qinghan's identity mainly because he didn't want to arouse his disgust. If the identity was real, once the investigation was done, Ye Qinghan would definitely be disgusted, and it would affect their relationship. Moreover, he trusted Ye Qinghan more from the bottom of his heart.
"Little Wu, the assassin this time might be from Heaven. They might take revenge on Genius Academy. I have to leave this place quickly. Otherwise, the few of us won't be able to block their attack." Xue Wuhen said in a deep voice.
"Then what about Zuo Feng?" Xue Wu quickly asked.
"Take him away. We can't stay here any longer. This time, it must be Old Four who hired someone to kill you. With Old Four's personality, he probably won't give up until he achieves his goal. The next time he attacks, he might attack me as well." Xue Wuhen was expressionless. His wise eyes looked out of the window and said hoarsely, "The City Amongst the Clouds is the weakest city. It doesn't even have a Supreme God, and its defense is the weakest. As long as they send a Supreme God and three to five giant gods, we won't be able to escape."
"Then when are we leaving?" Xue Wu was a little panicked. The identity of the royal family wasn't omnipotent. Many forces respected the Realm Lord, but they scoffed at the identity of the royal family. This was because many forces had the royal bloodline. Killing a prince wasn't considered unpardonable to them.
"We're leaving tonight." Xue Wuhen said without hesitation. "However, I'm now considering how to persuade Zuo Feng to leave with us. If he knows the truth, I'm afraid he'll give up on traveling with us because of Genius Academy."
"Then … why did you send Xing Jun away?" Xue Wu asked curiously.
Xue Wuhen shook his head and sighed that Xue Wu was still a little naive. He replied softly, "On the surface, I sent him to investigate the identity of the assassin. In fact, I sent him to mobilize the Realm Army to support us. What do you think I'll gain by uprooting a small force for revenge?"
The two were silent. However, they had forgotten about the divine bird on Xue Wu's shoulder.
When the divine bird heard that the City Amongst the Clouds was in danger, it immediately trembled.
"Just say that the army has urgent matters and needs to rush. You're also afraid of danger on the road. Ask him to help protect the beautiful Princess Xue Wu. He definitely won't let anyone bully the princess. Naturally, he'll follow you." The divine bird said faintly.
Xue Wuhen was stunned. He looked at the divine bird on Xue Wu's shoulder. He didn't expect a little bird to have such high intelligence.
Xue Wu was instantly delighted. She felt that the plan was feasible.
…
Two people and a bird quickly came to Genius Academy. Ye Qinghan was mobilizing his divine power to heal his injuries. His wounds were healing quickly. In just half a day, it was as if he wasn't injured at all. The sky gradually darkened.
Xue Wuhen looked at Ye Qinghan's recovery and couldn't help but be stunned.
"What a strong recovery ability!" Xue Wuhen exclaimed.
"I've grasped a portion of the wood attribute spirit, so my physique is a little special." Ye Qinghan smiled.
Xue Wu looked at the faint smile on Ye Qinghan's lips. She was instantly infatuated. She always felt that his smile was filled with sorrow.
"Zuo Feng, since you've recovered, then we'll set off now. I'm worried that the other party will still attack us siblings. If we stay now, we'll only harm the City Amongst the Clouds. After all, there are no experts in the City Amongst the Clouds. As for Genius Academy, I'll let Yunhai mobilize the city guards to protect it. No matter which assassin force, they won't dare to attack the city and the city guards without restraint. So you don't have to worry." Xue Wuhen said solemnly.
Xue Wuhen's words were probing. If Ye Qinghan didn't care about the danger and took the initiative to follow and protect, then he could completely believe it!
Ye Qinghan didn't disappoint him. He cupped his fist and said, "Then I'll follow you to the Border Army camp. After all, one more person means one more power. It's too dangerous for you to act alone."
