Watching that delicate figure staggering while running down the mountain, Dongting Wang-Yu slowly withdrew his fingers, he felt as if a part of his heart had become empty.

"Young master, why didn't you stop Miss Chu just now? Didn't you plan to capture her and use her to threaten Prince Ying to force him to hand over that thing?" Xuanxi Zi-Mo couldn't understand his family master's actions, so he had to ask.

"This young master changed his mind. That kind of vile person's conduct, how could it be compatible with this young master's noble identity." Dongting Wang-Yu looked deeply at that figure, his tone had a hint of a smile that people couldn't fathom.

"When did you change your mind?" How come he as a subordinate don't even know ah.

"Just now." The corner of Dongting Wang-Yu's lips held a smile.

The corner of Xuanxi Zi-Mo's mouth couldn't help but twitch, following such an unruly master, he could only accept his fate.

Chu Qing-Yan quickly ran over and when Xiao Lie Cavalry's group saw her coming over, they immediately made a road for her to use.

Having just passed through the crowd, she saw Big Block of Ice standing with one knee kneeling. Chu Qing-Yan didn't miss those petals of flowers that bloomed on the water surface from his blood. Her breathing was obstructed, she couldn't care about anything else as she threw herself up. Her pair of hands supported his arm, and in a tone that had traces of sobbing, she said. "Big Block of Ice, how are you? Is there any discomfort on your body? You say something ah!"

Xiao Xu slowly returned from that state where there was no strength in his body, and lifted his hand to push aside her hand. He stood up by himself, his silver mask reflecting the light from the fire and giving off a indistinct silvery light. She couldn't see his expression right now.

"Big Block of Ice, are you still okay?" Chu Qing-Yan knew he didn't want to reveal his weak side in front of his subordinates. So no matter what, he didn't need other people to lend an arm in support.

"This king is fine, don't need to worry." Xiao Xu wanted to lift his hand to rub her head but his hand was full of blood, so couldn't clearly see if a wound was there or not. In the end, he put down his hand and said this to placate her.

Clearly he was bleeding, but Big Block of Ice still said he was fine. She didn't believe it. But at this time, Big Block of Ice saying it like this meant he had his own reasons. She didn't speak again to stubbornly drag on this topic. As long as they reached a safe place, if she wanted to check, wouldn't it be as easy as turning her hand?

The long sword entered the shealth, Xiao Xu gave a meaningful glance at those subordinates still standing in front of him. Basically they had all more or less suffered injuries, before there was still several tens of people, but now only very few people remained. A trace of deep grief flitted through his pair of eyes.

"Leave here and find a safe place to rest and reorganize." He coldly and rightfully ordered.

"Yes." On the ground laid their comrades that fought shoulder to shoulder with them. Now they had no time to attend to their bodies, they could only tearfully depart. At this moment, they couldn't guarantee whether danger existed or not in their surroundings. They could only wait to come back another day——Fire Spirit's gaze moved away with great difficulty, Earth Spirit and the others lowered their heads one after another. They could not bear to look at the bodies of their comrades.

"Why did you come back?" When everyone was checking to see if there were any survivors, Xiao Xu lowered his head and asked in a serious tone.

She knew she couldn't avoid this question, sooner or later Big Block of Ice would mention it. Her head couldn't help but hang down, but her pair of hands wound around his arm, tightly gripping his sleeves. In a timid but firm tone, she said. "I'm afraid this separation was like we are strangers, so I didn't dare to leave by myself."
