"Master Long's swordsmanship is really superb. He almost cut off my head. It's amazing. It's amazing!" She laughed, but her words were full of sarcasm.
Long Xuan said nonchalantly: "Isn't Miss Lin's head still growing well on her neck? I'm trying to give Miss Lin some memory. You need to change your habit of gossiping."
Lin Qingyuan finally understood.
Daqing Long Xuan was taking revenge on her for asking Yan Ruyu to perform a sword dance.
She laughed angrily, "I didn't expect Mr. Long, as a man, to be so petty. I'm really offended!"
Everyone in the cabin didn't know what the two men were doing.
The two of them were relatively close to each other, and their voices were lowered when they spoke, so from Yan Ruyu's point of view, they seemed to be intimate.
She clenched her fingers and suddenly clapped her hands, "Master Long, your swordsmanship is indeed extraordinary. Today Ruyu's eyesight has been opened." After that, she picked up the wine and walked towards the two of them, her eyes falling on Lin Qingyuan, "I wonder what the relationship between the girl and Mr. Long is?"
Lin Qingyuan was about to say it was okay, but Long Xuan suddenly sat down next to her.
The man's sudden approach made Lin Qingyuan's face stiffen. Just when she was about to say something, she choked in her throat.
Long Xuan put an arm around Lin Qingyuan's back and placed it on the open window. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss Yan, don't you understand?"
This posture made it seem as if Lin Qingyuan was in his arms.
Yan Ruyu's knuckles holding the wine glass turned white, and her figure swayed unsteadily.
"You and her..."
She had just said a word when suddenly there was a loud bang and the window on the other side was broken open. A man in red broke in from the outside and ran directly towards Yan Ruyu.
Long Xuan's expression changed, he stood up quickly and pulled Yan Ruyu aside.
The man rushed forward, but saw a young and beautiful woman sitting on the table in front of him. His eyes suddenly lit up, "Are you Yan Ruyu, the oiran of Peony Pavilion?"
Before Lin Qingyuan could react to what happened, the man in red had already grabbed her shoulders.
Long Xuan frowned and threw the sword in his hand at the man in red, "Let her go!"
Unexpectedly, the man in red turned out to be very skilled. He avoided his attack with one side of his body, then grabbed Lin Qingyuan and jumped out of the window.
Bai He fell to the ground. Seeing this, he hurriedly shouted, "Someone, please save my young lady -"
Before he finished speaking, Long Xuan's figure was seen rushing out quickly.
At this time, the painting boat had reached the middle of the river. The man in red grabbed Lin Qingyuan, stepped on the water, and jumped towards the shore.
Because Yan Ruyu was holding an event here today, many people came here to catch a glimpse of her beauty. Although the boat had sailed away from the shore, the crowd on the shore still did not disperse.
The crowd on the shore is dense. If the man in red escapes to the shore and blends in, it will not be so easy to find him.
Long Xuan barely hesitated. He flicked his sleeves and several flying knives shot out from his sleeves, hitting the vital points of the man in red.
The man in red was only focused on kidnapping people and did not notice the danger behind him.
By the time he noticed it, he had been shot by a flying knife.
"Boom!"
The man in red fell into the water together with Lin Qingyuan.
Lin Qingyuan didn't know how to swim. When she fell into the water, she felt like she was suffocating.
She waved her arms, "Help..." Before she could finish her words, she took another sip of water.
She thought she might be dead, drowned.
Just when she was desperate, her body was lifted lightly and her whole body was lifted out of the water.
