Nangong Zhuo squeezed Guo Nian's hand hard: "I, Nangong Zhuo, have made your friend your friend."
"Okay, I haven't left Taohuaju yet. Apart from Mrs. Guo, I have no other friends. You are still my friend." Guo Nian looked even happier and squeezed Nangong Zhuo's hand back.
Even though they were running for their lives, it felt like the two teenagers were still talking and laughing.
"We will definitely die if we run like this." Guo Nian suddenly stopped and looked at Nangong Zhuo intently: "Xiao Zhuo, you said you consider me a friend. Shouldn't friends trust each other?"
"Of course! I believe you." Nangong Zhuo raised his head, his tone full of determination and domineering. Although he is young, he has shouldered the heavy pressure of Prince Pingding's palace since he was a child, and has already been tempered to have an extraordinary bearing.
A trace of joy flashed in Guo Nian's eyes, and he said seriously: "If you believe me, just stand where you are and let Nangong Chu and the others pass. Don't move, don't speak, and don't ask me why."
"good!"
As expected, Nangong Zhuo stood there cooperatively, motionless.
As for Guo Nian, he suddenly disappeared in front of him, as if he had abandoned him.
Nangong Zhuo couldn't help but clenched his fists, but didn't move even half a minute.
Until the powerful lineup of the three great spiritual masters Nangong Chu, Feng Renjian, and Sun Fu caught up, Nangong Zhuo still stood silently.
You must know that with Nangong Chu's character, if he is caught alone, he may be tortured.
Nangong Zhuo, however, kept in mind the agreement he made with Guo Nian. Even if he couldn't see Guo Nian, he would still believe him and remain motionless and silent.
Nangong Chu and the others walked straight towards Nangong Zhuo, but they passed him by and chased him forward.
Just as Nangong Zhuo was about to take a breather, he found three more people coming.
The three of them were not much better. One girl was covered in injuries and half of her arm was missing. The other woman looked uninjured but was lying on top of another man.
And these three people actually knew each other, they were Nangong Yulian, Xia Di and Lei Jue.
Nangong Zhuo didn't want to meet them.
"I clearly saw the mark left by the prince brother, why is there no one there?" Nangong Yulian limped and struggled to sit on the big stone in front of Nangong Zhuo. He happened to be leaning against Nangong Zhuo, and there was only half an arm's width between them. She was so far away that she didn't notice Nangong Zhuo's presence.
"Cousin, you listen to me, don't think about harming Feng Xingying anymore. Even if I risk my life, I will protect Miss Xingying." Lei Jue said a lesson.
"Hmph, I don't want to hear this name again." Xia Di looked very unhappy.
"Okay, don't say it, we won't say it." Nangong Yulian patted Xia Di on the back and said coquettishly: "We are all cousins, always thinking about other people's beauties.
"What did the Ninth Princess say about beauties? Is there any beauties more beautiful than you and Miss Xia Di in this fantasy?" came a flattering voice, it was Feng Renjian.
It turned out that Feng Renjian and others could not catch up with Nangong Zhuo, so they turned back and happened to meet up with Nangong Yulian.
"She's not your good sister yet!" Xia Di got angry when she saw Feng Renjian.
"Second brother, you have to avenge Lian'er." Nangong Yulian fell into Nangong Chu's arms, crying so sadly.
"Lian'er, tell second brother, who hurt you like this? I will make him worse than death!" Nangong Chu has always loved his sister, and he can't accept Nangong Yulian's current behavior.
Nangong Yulian cried aloud in grievance, and took the opportunity to tell how she was bullied by Feng Xingying.
