At this time, Cao Yunqi felt a strong sense of urgency welling up in his heart. He knew that he must speed up his pace and escape from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

This place was full of danger and uncertainty, and he didn't want to die tragically like his uncle Ruan Shizhong and brother Zhou Yunyang like him.

Moreover, there is his beloved woman in his sect Tianlongmen. She is the most important existence in his life. Whenever he thinks of her smile and gentle eyes, Cao Yunqi becomes more determined to live.

Therefore, Cao Yunqi did not want to and could not die here.

And at this time, Cao Yunqi knew that he could not repeat the same mistakes. He must remain vigilant and always be prepared to deal with possible dangers.

His eyes became firm and sharp at this time, and his steps became lighter and more agile. He constantly adjusted his breathing and rhythm to maintain the best condition.

Xu Xingchen stood quietly in his original position, staring closely at Cao Yunqi's back. There was a hint of coldness and determination in his eyes, as if he had made up his mind to deal with this enemy.

Slowly, Xu Xingchen bent down and reached out to pick up a long knife from the ground. He gently weighed the knife and felt the sharpness of the blade.

Xiao Zhonghui, who was beside him, looked at Xu Xingchen, who he thought was his disciple in front of him. Why did he pick up a long knife from the ground and play with it when he was fine?

Didn't he know that it would be dangerous to play with a sharp long knife?

"Disciple, you..."

When Xiao Zhonghui stepped forward to ask Xu Xingchen, who he thought was his disciple, to put down the long knife he was playing with.

When Xu Xingchen saw Cao Yunqi walking out of the temple door quickly, a trace of murderous intent flashed in Xu Xingchen's eyes. He suddenly raised his hand, and the long knife in his hand flew out like a rainbow.

"what!!"

Xiao Zhonghui was frightened by this sudden change and couldn't help but scream.

Her heart was beating violently as if it was about to burst out of her chest, and her eyes were wide with fear and uneasiness.

"Whoosh!"

There was a sound of breaking through the sky, and the long knife cut through the night sky like lightning, making a sharp whistling sound, and headed straight for the target with terrifying power.

Cao Yunqi seemed to be paying attention to what was behind him at first, and hurriedly lowered his head to dodge. However, as the acupuncture points on his body were first released, he finally slowed down and the knife just happened to penetrate the back of the neck.

"Puff..." a sound.

The sharp long knife pierced directly into the back of Cao Yunqi's neck, instantly freezing Cao Yunqi's body in place.

"what!"

Cao Yunqi hissed miserably and tried to turn around, but only turned halfway and fell to the ground, his body trembling feebly.

Bright red blood quickly gushed out from the wound, dyeing his clothes and the surrounding ground red. Cao Yunqi tried to cover the wound with his hands, but the blood kept seeping out from between his fingers and could not be stopped.

His body began to tremble and the cold feeling gradually invaded his whole body. Cao Yunqi's eyes gradually became blurred, and his consciousness began to drift away from reality.

"what!!"

Ma Chunhua over there happened to see this scene, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened with shock, her pretty face turned pale, and her delicate body was trembling.

She stretched out her delicate hand and quickly covered her eyes, not wanting to see such a bloody scene.

Seeing this scene in front of her, Xiao Zhonghui stood up suddenly, stared at Xu Xingchen beside him in shock and anger, and asked eagerly.

"You...why did you kill him?"

Hearing the sound, Xu Xingchen looked at the angry eyes of Xiao Zhonghui in front of him and felt helpless. He knew that Xiao Zhonghui was shocked and confused by his behavior, but he also knew that this was to protect her.

"Huihui, don't you see that this guy is a bad guy?"

Xu Xingchen explained aloud.

"This person has a deep scheming, and cannot express his emotions or anger. Such a person is definitely a sinister and vicious guy. He will definitely remember what happened today. If there is a chance in the future, he will definitely take revenge on us."

"I'm not afraid of him, but what if he plots against you, Huihui, and I'm not by your side?"

At this time, Xu Xingchen looked at Xiao Zhonghui in front of him and said seriously.

"But we promised him to let him go! How can we not be trustworthy!"

In anger, Xiao Zhonghui stood on the spot and stamped her feet, saying angrily.

"Hui Hui, I am loyal, moral and can do anything with good people. With villains like this, I will use villain methods."

"Like that Ruan Shizhong, who used despicable means to poison, I also used sneak attacks to deal with him. In this world, there are no absolute saints."

Xu Xingchen continued.

When Xiao Zhonghui heard these words, anger and helplessness surged in her heart.

She knew her character well and had always adhered to the principles of justice and trustworthiness. However, she felt helpless in the face of this Ruan Shizhong.

"But, we once promised him to spare his life, are we going to break our promise?"

Xiao Zhonghui's voice was trembling. She could not accept that she was a person who broke her promise.

"Huihui, I know your persistence and principles, but not everyone in this world is worthy of our trust and trustworthiness."

"This person has a deep scheming, can't express his emotions and anger, and is definitely a sinister and vicious guy. Such a person will only use our kindness and tolerance to hurt us. I can't let him succeed."

Xu Xingchen said, his voice full of firmness and determination.

"But if you want to kill him, you should fight him openly. Why do you pretend to let him go and then attack him from behind?"

Xiao Zhonghui said angrily.

She was dissatisfied with Xu Xingchen's answer. She believed that if Xu Xingchen really wanted to kill that person, he should face him directly instead of resorting to such despicable means.

Xu Xingchen, who heard the sound, suddenly smiled and replied lightly.

"I said I let him leave, and he left too. After leaving the temple gate, he really left here, so if I do something again, it won't be considered a broken promise."

"you……"

Xiao Zhonghui glared at Xu Xingchen with her beautiful eyes, and said coquettishly for a long time.

"Apprentice, it's not good for you to be like this. Master doesn't like it."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction and reproach in her voice, as if telling Xu Xingchen that his behavior made her unhappy.

"Ugh!"

Xu Xingchen, who heard the sound, looked deeply at Xiao Zhonghui, with a hint of helplessness and distress in his eyes, sighed and said lightly.

"Hui Hui, you are so kind! You have to know that many people in this world are much uglier than you think."

There was a hint of warmth and care in Xu Xingchen's voice. He hoped to make Xiao Zhonghui understand the cruelty and injustice of this chaotic world.

At this moment, Xu Xingchen and Xiao Zhonghui had an argument for the first time since they met. Xiao Zhonghui couldn't resist Xu Xingchen, so she turned her little head to the side angrily, pouting her cherry lips and ignoring him.

Xu Xingchen smiled bitterly and shook his head. Although he felt that he had done nothing wrong, but thinking about the relationship between men and women, it is natural for a man to coax a woman, so he had no choice but to go over and lower his posture to coax Xiao Zhonghui softly.

"Huihui, I know you have always been kind, but there are some people in this world who are not grateful to you because of your kindness."

"They may take advantage of your kindness to hurt you or even betray you."

Xiao Zhonghui nodded silently at first. She understood what Xu Xingchen meant, but when she realized what she meant, she still shook her head and ignored Xu Xingchen.

Seeing this, Xu Xingchen continued to coax Xiao Zhonghui softly.

"Huihui, I know you are a kind person. Your kindness makes me feel extremely lucky, but there are some people in this world who are not worthy of your kindness."

"They may take advantage of your kindness to hurt you. I don't want to see you hurt. Trust me, I will always protect you."

.........

Xiao Zhonghui puffed up her cheeks and turned her little head this way and that, but just ignored him. After Xu Xingchen said a lot of nice things, she pouted and said softly.

"Disciple, please promise Master that you will not do such things again in the future, or don't promise others. Once you agree, don't go back on your word."

At this time, after hearing what Xiao Zhonghui said next to him, Xu Xingchen thought for a while and nodded in reply.

"Well, since Huihui you don't like it, I won't be like this when I'm around you in the future."

"Don't just be around me, be the same wherever you go!"

Xiao Zhonghui, who heard the sound, glared at Xu Xingchen with her beautiful eyes and said coquettishly.

Xu Xingchen smiled slightly, put his arms around Xiao Zhonghui's waist, brought her whole body close to him, and said softly.

"Well Huihui, since it's the same wherever you go, wouldn't it be enough if you never leave my side for the rest of your life?"

At this time, Xiao Zhonghui never expected that this guy would turn this into a love sentence, and her delicate and pretty face couldn't help but blush, as if ignited by flaming passion.

Xu Xingchen looked closely at Xiao Zhonghui's charming appearance, which seemed to be both happy and shy. Her rosy face was even more charming under the firelight, and he couldn't help but kiss her lips passionately.

At this moment, time seemed to have stopped and only Xu Xingchen and Xiao Zhonghui were left.

Xiao Zhonghui's face turned red with embarrassment, like a red apple. She was at a loss for a moment and didn't know whether to welcome or reject him. She glanced out of the corner of her eye.

But he saw Ma Chunhua staring at him blankly with her big bright eyes open.

"what!"

At this moment, Xiao Zhonghui couldn't help but screamed. She was so embarrassed that she quickly pushed Xu Xingchen away with her delicate hands.

Her heart was pounding, and a wave of heat surged across her face, as if the area was filled with her shy breath. She felt her cheeks getting hotter and hotter, as if they were about to burn.

She didn't know how to deal with this sudden embarrassing situation.

After Xu Xingchen was pushed away, he was a little stunned. He didn't understand why Xiao Zhonghui was so excited suddenly. Looking at Xiao Zhonghui's shy look, he couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart. .
