"Let's rest if you're tired." Lin Yue squatted in front of her and patted her back with his big hands.

Han Liuyi shook her head, her soft hair swaying with her movements: "No, not physically, but mentally. I suddenly feel that it is meaningless for Dad to do this."

Lin Yue's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Liu Yi, who had always been loyal and unconditionally supported his master, would say such a thing.

What had exhausted her to the point of having these thoughts?

The two were speechless for a moment, with only the sound of cicadas chirping outside the window.

Before Lin Yue could say anything to comfort her, Han Liuyi figured it out on her own. She stood up, looked at the full moon in the sky, and said in a thin and light voice:

"Forget it, what am I thinking? As long as my father succeeds, I won't have to change my appearance every day. Besides, he is my father. If I, as his daughter, don't help him, how sad will he be?"

She sighed in her heart, thinking that he must be feeling very upset about this failure. She should not be sad, but should think about leaving Nanmen Jian.

Lin Yue pursed his lips, stood up and said: "Liu Yi, why don't you stop going out by yourself in the future? Tell me if you have anything, and I'll go for you."

Han Liuyi turned her head and smiled at him, saying, "How can that be possible?" She reached out to hold his arm, "Brother, thank you for staying with me so late, go back and rest."

"Okay, are you really okay?" Lin Yue asked uncertainly.

Han Liuyi nodded vigorously. She pushed Lin Yue and said in a relaxed tone, "I'm fine. Go ahead."

"Okay then... go to bed early, Liu Yi." Lin Yue touched her head and closed her door after getting her reply.

Han Liuyi let out a long sigh and sat back in the chair.

She picked up her things and whispered to herself, "It's enough to be sad for a short while. It's useless to be sad any longer."

-

In the lobby of Nanmenjian Mansion.

In the huge hall, two men and one woman sat in the three main seats in the middle, and other people sat in the six chairs on both sides.

"Let's go tomorrow. We can't delay anything." said Nan Fengyu, the second in command of Nanmen Sword.

Nan Fengjun looked at her and immediately saw the hatred in her eyes.

What she said just now was right, things cannot be delayed, otherwise we will die!

Today I received a letter from the person they sent over, saying that four people are going to attack them. I guess they already know that Nanmen Jian is behind this. If I don't go there in person to negotiate peace, I'm afraid they will wipe out all of their people without blinking an eye!

Nan Fengjun bit his back teeth unwillingly and said in a loud voice: "Just do as Sister said, go tomorrow! This time it's a risky move, we must leave two people here to calm people down."

Nan Yi, who was sitting next to them, slammed the table. Everyone looked at him and saw that his rough face was red with anger. It seemed that the content of the letter made him very angry.

"Feng Jun, can't you just use force against them?"

Nan Fengyu glanced at him and said angrily, "How can we play hardball with them? Those four are now in collusion with each other and have evidence in their hands. It won't be a problem for them to kill all of us in our sect!"

Nan Yi was choked for a moment, but he still said with a thick neck: "They are powerful, but we Nanmen Swordsmen are not vegetarians either!"

"Okay, stop talking." Nanfeng held her forehead with her jade hands, feeling very tired.

"Ayi, you have to think about the whole sect. We lost more than a hundred people last time at Bishui Villa. How can we act recklessly now?" Nanfeng Jun reached out and stroked Nanfeng Yu's back, saying.

“Alas!” Nan Yi stood up and began to pace back and forth in the middle, his cloak rustling as he swung it. “If this fails, won’t all of us at Nanmen Sword be doomed?”

The people below also sighed. In their opinion, killing the four people was simply impossible. They could only try to negotiate peace with them.

"Don't be impatient. Let's try to negotiate terms with them first. If that doesn't work, we can take action later." Nan Fengyu frowned, looking solemn.

Nan Fengjun nodded and pointed at the people beside him: "Master and Tian Ze stay here. If anything happens to us, you know what to do."

The two looked at each other and could only agree.

Nanfeng Jun did not let them negotiate peace. Firstly, he was afraid that the four would think that they were not sincere enough. Secondly, he was worried that his own people would think that they would escape, causing unrest and resistance among the people.

They also held onto a glimmer of hope, thinking that perhaps they could negotiate peace with the four without having to take action.

Now that the problem in Taoyuan City has been solved, the four have won the hearts of countless people. Storytellers in teahouses big and small have begun to tell stories about them, and their reputations have completely reversed.

There were even rumors that four evil women bewitched them, but now they say that the method for Taoyuan City to escape was thought up by them!

Nan Fengyu gritted his teeth and said, "If this operation fails, all the people in our sect may die without a burial place."

The people below listened and couldn't help but clench the handles of the chairs, making crisp bone-clicking sounds.

"If we can negotiate peace, then we will. If not, I have another plan. With Mr. Han's help, the difficulty will be reduced." Nan Fengyu continued.

She just thought of those four girls. If it was true as the rumors said, she could start with them!

She expressed this idea and everyone agreed.

"Sister..." Nan Fengjun glanced at the people below, waved his hand, and signaled them to go down.

Nan Yi wanted to stay, but Nan Fengjun said, "Ayi, go down first. I have something to say to my sister."

Nan Yi touched his smooth head, not understanding why the two of them were talking behind his back.

There were only two people left in the lobby, which seemed particularly empty and quiet.

"Sister, if neither of us succeeds, we'll just run away and live in the house we bought earlier." Nanfengjun said anxiously, and his big hand couldn't help but hold Nanfengyu's arm.

Nan Fengyu saw the worry in his eyes, forced a smile, and said: "Ajun, if it really doesn't work, you can go on your own. This sect was left by my parents, how can I bear to let it be destroyed in our hands..."

Her hands were shaking slightly and she could no longer control her tears.

"Sister, don't think like that! As long as the two of us are still alive, Nanmen Jian will have hope of making a comeback!" He held her shoulders and helped her stand up.

Seeing the tears on her face, Nan Fengjun stammered and felt extremely regretful.

If he had not listened to Mr. Han, they would not have taken risks so many times and would not have reached the point where they are today.

Originally, he could have lived well with his elder sister! But after they talked with Mr. Han, for some reason, they believed his words without a doubt, even the calm and rational elder sister.

Now, all of this was caused by them...

"Ajun." Nan Fengyu hugged him and burst into tears: "It's all my fault that you have never married and had children. If anything really happens, our Nan family will be extinct!"

Nanmen Jun felt very uncomfortable. He hugged her tightly and said, "No, I will not marry. I will only love my sister in this life."

He closed his eyes and said, "It's my fault. If something really happens, I will protect Sister and let her go. Then Sister will take the banknote and find someone capable to protect you instead of me."

Nan Fengyu gently beat his chest, saying, "Don't say that... We caused this, and we have no choice."

She raised her head, and Nan Fengjun reached out to wipe away her tears. She said, "Ajun, if there is a next life, we will be born in an ordinary family, grow up together, and spend the rest of our lives together."

Listening to her heart-wrenching oath, Nanmen Jun nodded heavily, and said firmly: "Sister, let's not talk about failure. I will accompany you until the end of my life, and we will never leave each other."
