Logically speaking, Duan Lengyan's repeated setbacks in Yunzhong City should be the memory she least wants to mention, but the fact is exactly the opposite. This memory always appears in front of her inadvertently, and whenever this At this time, Duan Lengyan's face would show a rare smile, showing a strange sweetness.
After returning to the Iron War Dynasty, Duan Lengyan's situation can be described as difficult, and the pressure she endured is even more difficult to describe in words. To say what gave her the strength to continue to support, I am afraid that nine out of ten can be attributed to this. memories.
Especially when that young and handsome face occupied her entire mind, Duan Lengyan's heart felt as if it was about to fly. She felt that all worries and grievances immediately disappeared and were no longer worth mentioning.
"That kid must be living a very happy life now. He's nothing like me. He's so anxious that he can't hold on any longer..." Duan Lengyan shook her head, with a wry smile on her face. She looked particularly pitiful.
"Leng Yan, do you miss that kid again?" Wu Qiujun appeared quietly behind Duan Lengyan.
Duan Lengyan was startled and subconsciously tightened her grip on the dagger in her hand. When she turned around and saw that it was Wu Qiujun, she relaxed. He smiled and asked, "Master, aren't you going to retreat? Why..."
During this period, Wu Qiujun also lived a very difficult time. Tianbao Pavilion was almost completely defeated by the Spirit Weapon Workshop. The foundation he had spent his whole life building had reached the point of destruction. At this time, Wu Qiujun's face was clearly full of haggard.
Hearing Duan Lengyan's question, Wu Qiujun sighed heavily, his expression full of helplessness, and said, "It's really weird. We are so close to the goal, but we still can't get over it. Is it true that I, Wu Qiujun, am destined to miss perfection?"
"Why is this happening? It shouldn't be? Guiyi Qi is an extremely superior method. If you practice this way, you will achieve perfection naturally. It shouldn't be so difficult." Duan Lengyan raised her eyebrows and looked quite anxious. .
This is not surprising. Their current situation is so difficult. If Wu Qiujun can achieve success at this time, it will give them a big breath and even launch a certain degree of counterattack. It was even said that Duan Lengyan had pinned all her last hopes on Wu Qiujun's breakthrough. How could she not be anxious
Wu Qiujun said with a depressed expression: "This may be related to the fact that I have too many distracting thoughts in my heart. Haste makes waste, this is the eternal truth!"
Wu Qiujun said this, and Duan Lengyan fell silent helplessly. In fact, in such a situation and under such heavy pressure, Wu Qiujun was lucky enough not to go crazy.
The two were silent for a moment, and Wu Qiujun suddenly said, "Leng Yan, have you really never thought about asking that boy for help? Before you left, the boy made it clear that if you encounter any difficulties, you can always go to him. He Must go all out!”
Duan Lengyan turned to look at Wu Qiujun, and saw Wu Qiujun's eyes flashing, like a person struggling in the darkness who suddenly saw the light.
"I've thought about it!" After a moment of silence, Duan Lengyan's expression suddenly hardened, and she uttered two words crisply and melodiously.
"Then what are you waiting for? It's already this time, it's time to let that kid know!" Wu Qiujun was overjoyed when he heard this and said hurriedly.
Duan Lengyan shook her head with a wry smile, and said in a sad voice, "Master, if it is just to deal with eldest brother, Yaoting may be able to help us, but you should know that our biggest enemy now is not eldest brother, but the people of Shengtian Continent. Yuntianmen is simply not something we mortals can contend with, even with all the strength of the Iron War Dynasty! Do you think Yaoting can help us?"
Duan Lengyan's question made Wu Qiujun fall silent, and the light of hope on his face quickly faded away without a trace.
Duan Lengyan sighed and said, "Under such circumstances, if we ask Yaoting for help, it would be like pulling him down into a pit of fire with our own hands. How can we do this?"
Wu Qiujun was still a little unwilling to give up, and frowned and said, "That's not necessarily the case. That kid is weird and clever, and his brain is better than anyone else. He might be able to come up with some clever plan to make Yuntianmen unable to take advantage of it. Have you forgotten? Well, when we went to Yunzhong City, I was already at the ninth level, and that guy's cultivation level was only two or three levels, far inferior to you, but weren't we still in a mess by him? "
Duan Lengyan smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "But it's different now. Yuntianmen is too powerful. No matter how powerful it is, any strategy will be of no use. Anyway, I can never implicate Yaoting, never!"
Wu Qiujun knew Duan Lengyan's temper. When he heard her say this, he knew the matter was over. He could only shake his head and sigh again.
"Her Royal Highness, Mr. Wu, Master Tan is here!" The official came quickly, followed by a red-faced strong man with a frown on his face and a murderous look on his face. It is Tan Hu, the head of the Tan family!
Duan Lengyan and Wu Qiujun looked at each other and stood up together.
"Princess, Lao Wu, this surname is bullying people too much, bullying people too much!" Before he could reach the front, Tan Hu roared angrily.
Duan Lengyan hurriedly came forward and asked, "Uncle Tan, what happened to make you so angry?"
Tan Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Princess, just take a guess. You can't even guess how far the Hou family can go! Lao Wu, I'm ready to fight. I'm ready to fight Hou Shankui to the death." !”
The more Tan Hu spoke, the angrier he became. At the end, his voice sounded like thunder. Thanks to Duan Lengyan and Wu Qiujun's good cultivation, otherwise he would have suffered internal injuries due to his intense heat.
Wu Qiujun frowned and said, "Ahu, how many times have I told you, don't act impulsively. The Hou family is now eager for you to fight him to the death. Calm down and tell me first, what happened?"
Tan Hu sat down on the stool, gasped a few times, and then said with a strong sense of hatred, "Early this morning, that bastard Hou Shankui came to my place beating gongs and drums... "
After Tan Hu said something, Duan Lengyan and Wu Qiujun looked at each other in surprise. Duan Lengyan asked with an uncertain look, "Play gongs and drums?"
Tan Hu was like a monkey whose tail was stepped on. He jumped up, slapped the table and said, "No way! What do you think that bastard is doing here? He's proposing marriage." "
"Propose marriage!?" Duan Lengyan and Wu Qiujun couldn't help but exclaimed in unison.
"Isn't that true? Then Hou Shankui actually wants me to marry Yunxi to his bastard son Hou Shaopeng who is worse than a pig or a dog. Do you think this... is this too much bullying?"
"That won't work! Hou Shaopeng is flamboyant, promiscuous and dissolute. He is the worst thing. If Yun Xi falls into his hands, her whole life will be ruined. This is absolutely not allowed!" Duan Lengyan exploded upon hearing this. He shook his head like a rattle and kept talking.
Wu Qiujun's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he said coldly, "This Hou Shankui really did everything possible to attack your Tan family. Ahu, does Yunxi know about this?"
Tan Hu's face was filled with regret as he said, "How could Yun Xi not know that Hou Shankui is here beating gongs and drums? That girl is still hiding in her room and crying."
Wu Qiujun shook his head and said, "This child Yun Xi has been relatively weak since she was a child. How can she withstand such a blow?"
"Yes! I... my heart is about to break! Princess, Lao Wu, I, Tan Hu, have nothing to ask for. I only hope that you can take care of Yun Xi on my behalf in the future."
"Ahu, you really haven't decided to fight Hou Shankui, have you?" Wu Qiujun's expression tightened and he asked hurriedly.
Tan Hu said bitterly, "At this time, do I have any other choice? I can't really push Yun Xi into the fire pit, right? I have decided that even if the entire Tan family is wiped out, as long as I can save Yun Xi, Worth it!”
"No! No, Uncle Tan, please don't be impulsive! If you send Yun Xi to me immediately, I won't believe that the Hou family dares to come to my princess's house to act wild!"
"Yeah! Leng Yan is right, Ahu, let's do it this way!" Wu Qiujun also agreed deeply.
However, Tan Hu shook his head and said, "The reason why the Hou family is so arrogant is because they have the support of the eldest prince. I am worried that there is also the shadow of the eldest prince behind this matter. What if Yun Xi is really sent to Here, there is no guarantee that the eldest prince will not use this as an excuse to attack the princess. I cannot take this risk!"
When Tan Hu said this, Wu Qiujun and Duan Lengyan fell silent. They obviously knew that Tan Hu's worries were by no means unreasonable.
"Okay! I just came to tell you that I will hand over Yun Xi to you. Nothing else will happen. I'm leaving!"
"Uncle Tan, it's all Leng Yan's fault. It's Leng Yan who has caused trouble for you and Yun Xi." At this time, Leng Yan's heart was filled with self-blame and guilt. If it weren't for supporting her, the Tan family would not be in this situation.
Facing the plight of the Tan family, she, the princess, was helpless and could only watch helplessly, which made her conscience tortured even more.
"Princess, what are you talking about? All these are my own choices, Tan Hu. Until now, I still feel that the Iron War Dynasty can continue to be glorious only in your hands. In short, I have no complaints. No regrets!”
"Ahu, don't worry! I, Wu Qiujun, will protect Yun Xi even if I risk my life!"
"Okay! With your words, I can feel completely at ease! Hahaha... Instead of living in vain, it is better to die vigorously! Grandma, even if I die, I still want that bitch Hou Shankui to support me! Princess, Lao Wu, Tan Hu... take the first step!"
Tan Hu hugged Duan Lengyan and Wu Qiujun, his expression calm and generous, so free and easy!
Duan Lengyan looked at Tan Hu's smiling face, her nose felt sore, she couldn't hold it back anymore, and her tears fell down like broken beads. Wu Qiujun also let out a long sigh, raised his head to the sky, and tears flashed from time to time in his eyes. (To be continued)
