Shen Yue vigilantly observed the sturdy man lying on the ground, confirming that he still had a faint breath.

But after she could no longer pose a threat, she quickly took the little boy's hand and walked quickly through the intricate streets.

Until we came to a relatively hidden street corner.

The night was dark and the street lights were dim, adding a touch of uneasiness to this tense scene.

Shen Yue stopped and turned to face the little boy. There was both worry and determination in her eyes.

She took a deep breath and tried to make her tone sound calm and firm: "Brother, what happened just now... just treat it as a nightmare and forget it. Now, you must leave Kishu, leave this dangerous place. Go as far away as possible and find a safe place to start your life again."

As the little boy listened to Shen Yue's words, a hint of confusion and hesitation flashed in his eyes.

He looked at the sturdy man lying on the ground, then looked at Shen Yue's serious expression, and seemed to understand something.

He lowered his head and whispered, "But...sister, what about you? Aren't you going with me?"

Shen Yue shook his head gently, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"I can't leave. I have unfinished business to do."

She explained softly, "Besides, I can't let you get into more danger because of me. You must find a safe place and live a good life."

The little boy's eyes couldn't help but turn red when he heard this.

He bit his lips tightly, trying hard not to let the tears fall.

He knew that Shen Yue was right and that staying here would only bring her trouble.

So he nodded vigorously and said with a sob: "Sister, I will remember your words. I will leave Kishu and find a safe place to live. You must also be careful and take care of yourself."

Shen Yue touched the little boy's head with a smile, his heart filled with reluctance and blessings.

"Go, kid. Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, you must face them bravely."

After Shen Yue watched the little boy disappear into the night, she felt mixed emotions, worrying about the boy's future but also determined about her next actions.

She turned and went back to the inn, her steps steady and quick, as if nothing had happened.

Returning to the room, Shen Yue found that Hong Fuqiu was already waiting there. She was sitting at the table, playing with an exquisite jade hairpin in her hand, her eyes revealing a bit of indifference and detachment.

Seeing Shen Yue coming in, Hong Fuqiu smiled slightly, as if she had already seen through all her emotions.

"Fighting and killing are common, all you need is peace of mind."

Hong Fuqiu opened her red lips and uttered something meaningful.

Her voice is soft and magnetic, as if it can soothe all the waves in people's hearts.

Shen Yue's heart moved slightly when he heard this.

She walked to the table and sat down, her eyes meeting Hong Fuqiu's, as if at this moment, all the barriers between them had disappeared.

She sighed softly and said, "Yes, there is no real peaceful place in this world."

Hong Fuqiu nodded in agreement.

She put down the jade hairpin in her hand, looked at Shen Yue seriously, and said, "There is nothing to be afraid of or feel guilty about doing the right thing."

Shen Yue looked at Hong Fuqiu with gratitude. She knew that this good friend always gave her the greatest support and encouragement at critical moments.

She didn't speak!

Seeing that Shen Yue's mood had calmed down a little, Hong Fuqiu gently advised: "Rest early, there are still selection matters to be taken care of tomorrow morning. Get enough rest, or you won't die on the stage!"

Shen Yue nodded, looked at Hong Fuqiu gratefully, and then the two of them went to rest.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the window and shone into the room, Shen Yue had already woken up.

She was secretly thinking about today's selection, and at the same time she couldn't help but worry about the safety of the strong man and the little boy last night.

However, when she stepped into the square where the ring was located, an unexpected scene came into her sight.

The strong man from last night stood among the crowd, while the little boy had his hands tightly bound by thick ropes and was forced to stand aside and watch the match on the ring.

The little boy's eyes were full of helplessness and fear, but he tried to remain calm and didn't make any sound.

Shen Yue suddenly felt angry and uneasy.

The burly man obviously noticed Shen Yue's arrival, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if challenging her courage.

Shen Yue ignored his provocation and focused his attention on the upcoming selection.

The competition on the ring was fierce and cruel, but Shen Yue's heart was unusually calm.

She must enter Qingyun Sect, and today is the deadline!

Shen Yue's heart was always on the little boy, but she didn't dare to neglect the next game at all!

When Shen Yue's name was announced as the next contestant, her heartbeat accelerated. She looked up at her opponent, who was a burly man with sharp eyes. It was the sturdy man who appeared in front of her last night - Sun Dalei. At this moment, Shen Yue's heart was filled with unprecedented determination and fighting spirit.

"Sun Dalei..."

Shen Yue silently repeated the name in her heart, and her eyes became unusually firm.

She knew that this battle was not only for herself, but also to rescue the innocent little boy.

Shen Yue took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and slowly walked to the center of the ring.

Her eyes met Sun Dalei's, and there seemed to be an electric current flowing between the two of them. The air was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere.

Hong Fuqiu sat in the audience, looking at Shen Yue from afar.

She keenly felt the strong fighting spirit and determination emanating from Shen Yue, and her heart couldn't help but be moved.

With the referee's order, the game officially started.

Shen Yue and Sun Dalei quickly engaged in a fierce confrontation.

Relying on his powerful strength and rich combat experience, Sun Dalei continued to launch fierce attacks on Shen Yue.

However, Shen Yue was not afraid at all. She nimbly dodged Sun Dalei's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Shen Yue knew very well that she could not confront Sun Dalei head-on, so she cleverly used her speed and skills to deal with Sun Dalei.

She kept looking for Sun Dalei's flaws and weaknesses, trying to give him a fatal blow.

After a fierce competition, Shen Yue finally found a perfect opportunity.

She seized the opportunity, jumped up suddenly, and the sword in her hand turned into a dazzling sword light, heading straight for Sun Dalei's vitals.

Sun Dalei was horrified when he saw this. He tried his best to resist Shen Yue's attack, but was eventually knocked to the ground by Shen Yue's sword.

Following the deacon's announcement, deafening cheers and applause broke out around the entire ring.

[Who is this woman? She is so powerful. I have never heard of her before! ]

[It's amazing, Yunzhou is really full of talented people! ]

[It is definitely a safe bet to enter Qingyun Sect! 】

However, the joy of victory did not stay on her face for long, because she was exhausted at this moment, and all the strength in her body seemed to have been drained away.

Shen Yue held the sword tightly and tried her best to support her body, but even so, she could not resist the intense feeling of fatigue.

Her vision began to blur and her body began to shake.

The cheers and applause around her seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her, and her world was left with only chaos and darkness.

At this moment, a pair of warm hands suddenly supported her shaky body.

Shen Yue tried hard to open his eyes, only to see Hong Fuqiu looking at him coldly, her eyes full of concern and worry.

She wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked and no sound came out.

However, Shen Yue's fatigue had reached its limit. She felt her eyelids becoming heavier and her consciousness becoming more and more blurred.

Finally, she could no longer hold on, slowly closed her eyes, and fell into a deep coma.

When Shen Yue woke up again, he found himself lying in the room of the inn.

The sun is shining outside the window, birds are singing and flowers are blooming, everything seems so peaceful and beautiful.

She struggled to sit up and found Hong Fuqiu sitting beside the bed watching over her.

"woke up!"

Hong Fuqiu said softly, "You have slept for a whole day and night."

Shen Yue felt a warm current in her heart when she heard this. She looked at Hong Fuqiu gratefully and said, "Thank you."

Hong Fuqiu said coldly: "No need to thank me, you are the one who saved you, it has nothing to do with me!"
