Wen Qing had a complicated expression on her face when she left.
Perhaps, this is the feeling of being trusted.
She almost forgot this feeling. However, it was Nangong Yun who lit up the flame of hope in her almost desperate heart.
Xiao Wan was looking at Nangong Yun in ecstasy at this time. She really didn't understand what kind of person Nangong Yun was and why he could always give people an irresistible warmth, like a ray of sunshine in the morning, which could dispel the hearts of people around him. of coldness and darkness.
"Brother Yun, what should we do next?"
Xiao Wan asked seriously, because it was less than a day before they planned to get rid of Wu Tianyong. At this time, they should be more careful and make more preparations to ensure nothing goes wrong.
However, Nangong Yun stretched his waist for a long time and said to Xiaowan calmly.
"How about we take a nap first?"
"ah?!"
"I mean let's all go get some sleep!"
"Well......"
Xiaowan's blushing face had not yet returned to calm when she heard Nangong Yun say again.
"There are too many things to do tonight. We have to get some rest first so that we can have the energy to deal with the many things that are coming next, right?"
"Brother Yun, can you say it again next time?"
"Why?"
"Because if you repeat a sentence twice, no one will misunderstand it."
"Oh? What did you misunderstand?"
"I......"
The lingering glow on Xiao Wan's fair cheeks did not recede but rose again. She shyly turned around and ran towards the back hall. Before she left, she didn't forget to look back and glare at Nangong Yun.
Seeing Xiaowan's shy figure when she left, Nangong Yun felt much more comfortable.
Maybe the nerves that had been tense just now were too tired and I wanted to relax on purpose.
To be honest, his trust in Wen Qing was entirely based on his own intuition. At first, he was very eloquent when he persuaded Wen Qing to abandon evil and do good. However, when Wen Qing really abandoned darkness and turned to light, he was at a loss as to what to do.
Nangong Yun suddenly discovered that many planned things were not set in stone. It was very necessary to learn to act according to circumstances and adapt to changes in future practice.
Immediately, Nangong Yun gathered his emotions and went back to the inner hall to rest.
...
Afternoon.
Nangong Yun was awakened by a slight knock on the door, and he had a really good sleep.
Nangong Yun stretched his muscles and said to the door.
"come in!"
The door was slowly pushed open, and a happy smile appeared on Nangong Yun's face.
"Are you so confident that I will come back?"
"Yes!"
"I really want to know, why do you trust me so much?"
"Maybe it's your eyes that can't lie!"
"Giggle... It seems I have to cover my eyes with black gauze next time."
Wen Qing walked into Nangong Yun's room with a bright smile on her face. Judging from her expression, things should be going smoothly.
"What's going on over there with Wu Tianyong?"
Nangong Yun asked her with a smile.
"Fortunately, he already trusts you. The reason why he sent us here is just in case. Moreover, Wu Lao San is also helping you to speak. I really don't understand why Wu Lao San is so trusting. you."
Nangong Yun didn't know either, he curled his lips and said.
"I'll ask him for you tonight!"
"Pfft!"
When Wen Qing heard this, she couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing. Suddenly, the whole room was filled with her sweet laughter.
However, at this moment, Xiaowan, who had arrived in front of Nangong Yunfang's house at some unknown time, had a look of resentment on his face.
"It's so early, Miss Wen! I thought you wouldn't come back so early."
When the two people in the room heard this, they both found Xiaowan standing at the door.
Wen Qing raised her eyebrows and said with a smile.
"It is already noon, and the City Lord's Mansion is not far from here. I have come back earlier, but I know that the young master did not have a good rest last night, so I waited until noon and the young master had rested before I came to discuss with him. "
Wen Qing's tone was soft, her words were appropriate, there was nothing inappropriate, and she even seemed very elegant and generous.
However, all this was completely different when Xiaowan saw it.
Somehow, she just felt uncomfortable. She couldn't tell where she felt uncomfortable. Anyway, she just didn't like Wen Qing no matter how she looked at her. Xiaowan even felt that she should be the one standing in the room at this time, and the one standing in the room was The person outside the door should be Wen Qing.
Nangong Yun felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit stiff, and even the air was a bit lazy and refused to flow faster, making him feel a bit stuffy.
"Ahem... I said, why don't we sit down and talk?"
Nangong Yun's words broke the silence in the room. Both Xiaowan and Wen Qing seemed to realize that there was Nangong Yun watching them next to them, and then they both nodded and responded with a smile.
"Is there anything else going on at the City Lord's Mansion?"
Nangong Yun asked Wen Qing first after the two of them calmed down.
"It was still dark when I left, but the City Lord's Mansion had stepped up its vigilance and had more than three times more manpower than usual. Maybe he has to be careful tonight."
"Of course, his biggest wish over the years is to restore his cultivation. Whether it can be realized depends on tonight. He will definitely be extremely careful!"
At this time, Nangong Yun turned his eyes to Xiaowan and asked immediately.
"Xiao Wan, how are senior Xia's preparations going?"
"Grandpa just sent someone to inform me. The people in charge of Sand Dune Town are waiting in the forest ten miles outside the city. As for Tianjian Mountain, because it is too far away, Grandpa estimates that it will take another two days to receive the news. But according to Grandpa, the Tianjian Sect has their special communication method. As long as the Shanmen receives the letter and agrees to help us, it won’t take a day to send the order to Lingyin City.”
Xiaowan informed Nangong Yun of the news that Xia Feipeng had received in the morning.
After hearing this, Nangong Yun thought for a moment and said.
"Now that time is running out, we can only take the risk. Xiaowan, you will go back to Xia's house later and stay with your family."
Xiao Wan originally wanted to say something, but seeing Nangong Yun's solemn and serious expression, she finally stopped speaking.
She knew that she was just a weak woman who didn't know how to practice. Even if she had the intention, she still couldn't be of much help, so by obediently listening to Nangong Yun's arrangements, she was helping him.
Immediately, Xiaowan nodded obediently and said.
"Okay, Brother Yun, you must be careful at night. Xiaowan is waiting for you at home."
"Um!"
Nangong Yun smiled and reassured Xiaowan. He also knew that although Xiaowan might be a little cautious occasionally, at this time, she would definitely be obedient.
He looked at Wen Qing aside and spoke to her in the same serious tone.
"Since you have kept your promise, I will naturally keep my promise. You will stay in Hiyue Pavilion tonight and stay with your sisters. If I return to Hiyue Pavilion safe and sound tomorrow, from now on, you Be free!”
Wen Qing did not speak, but her beautiful eyes gradually became moist and red, as if she had a thousand words to say, but in the end, they all turned into a deep bow to Nangong Yun.
Although Nangong Yun was unwilling to break Wen Qing's good expectations at this time, he had to prepare for the best or the worst.
After all, he had to do such an incredible thing less than three days after arriving in Ten Thousand Beasts City. To say that he was sure of it was just to give himself confidence.
He stretched out his hand to help Wen Qing up, and then said to her.
"If I don't come back, you can choose to return to the City Lord's Mansion. I believe that through your tip last night, he will still trust you."
When Nangong Yun said this, Wen Qing couldn't bear it. She was about to speak, but was stopped by Nangong Yun, and she only listened to him continue.
"Of course, if you are willing, you can go to the Xia family and leave the City of Beasts with them.
After all, we are now friends, and as I said before, friends should lend a helping hand when the other is in danger.
As for Wu Tianyong, I will pretend that I have already arranged to take you all away, so that your family will not be implicated. "
Nangong Yun then turned to look at Xiaowan, whose eyes were also shining, and said with a smile.
"I think the Xia family won't mind taking you away with them, right Xiaowan?"
"Um!"
Xiao Wan nodded heavily. Although Nangong Yun's tone was a bit heavy at this time, Xiao Wan still believed that Nangong Yun's action tonight would be successful!
However, her tears still fell down involuntarily.
Nangong Yun felt that the atmosphere seemed a bit deep, so he said with a relaxed smile.
"Haha, you all look like I'm going to have bad luck tonight!"
"Will not!"
Wen Qing and Xiaowan said in unison.
"That's right. You go and prepare now. I believe the people from the City Lord's Mansion will be here soon."
"Um!"
Xiaowan responded sensibly and then left the room.
However, Wen Qing was still frozen in place. Nangong Yun thought she was still struggling with the two choices he had just given her, so he whispered to her.
"Don't worry, I will understand no matter what choice you make."
"No! Ever since I decided to help you last night, I will never give in again. I have endured the humiliation and lived for the Wen family all these years, but I am really afraid of such a dark life. Whenever Ling'er By them... I really don’t want to go back to that hell on earth with my sister!”
The crystal tears that Wen Qing could no longer hold back were like broken beads, falling one by one on the hands clasped in front of her chest.
Only then did Nangong Yun understand the pain in Wen Qing's heart, and he also understood why she helped him so resolutely. Nangong Yun clenched his fists, and his heart suddenly became a little more angry.
Looking at the weak and helpless Wen Qing in front of him, Nangong Yun knew how to comfort such a miserable woman.
However, he could only stretch out his hand to help her up gently, and then said to her firmly.
"I'll make these scumbags pay the price!"
Hearing Nangong Yun's words, a trace of relief appeared on Wen Qing's tear-soaked cheeks, and she nodded slowly.
"Brother Yun, thank you! No matter what happens tonight or not, I will remember your name forever!"
"Uh...actually, my real name is Nangong Yun!"
