Best friends travel through time together! Marry the paranoid! Divorce together

Xiao Chenyuan strode over, holding a long sword with blood still on it in his hand.

The dim light obscured his facial features, vaguely outlining his tall figure and the suppressed rage within him.

When Shen Pianzhi heard footsteps, she tried to break free from Lu Xingzhi's restraints, but unexpectedly, a dagger was pressed against her throat the next moment.

She watched Xiao Chenyuan walking towards her with slow steps, his cold eyes showing no trace of fear, as calm as the mirror on a lake.

When Yu Huan saw Xiao Chenyuan coming, he quickly squatted down and tried to help Pei Wanyue, who was squatting on the ground with her head in her hands.

A figure suddenly stepped forward, pulled Pei Wanyue up, and gently stroked her back with his palm, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

Pei Wanyue looked up in surprise when she heard the familiar voice. When she saw that it was Xie Wenzhou, her eyes welled up and she threw herself into his arms, "Brother Zhou..."

Xie Wenzhou held her in his arms and coaxed her in a low voice.

Xiao Chenyuan's bones revealed an unbearable brutality, and his voice dropped to freezing point, "Let her go!"

Lu Xingzhi glanced at Xiao Chenyuan impatiently, "What qualifications do you have to order me around?"

Xiao Chenyuan didn't waste any more words with him. He raised his pistol and aimed it at Lu Xingzhi.

Lu Xingzhi's eyes became sharper, and he chuckled softly, "Go ahead and shoot! Once you shoot, I'll push Shen Pianzhi out!"

Xiao Chenyuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Lu Xingzhi looked at Xiao Chenyuan coldly, his tone extremely arrogant:

"Xiao Chenyuan, don't you love Shen Pianzhi very much? If you kill yourself with your pistol, I will let her go!"

Shen Pianzhi's eyes darkened, and her anger surged, "Lu Xingzhi, you are so despicable. If you have the guts, just kill me. I won't let your conspiracy succeed!"

"How could I bear to kill you?" Lu Xingzhi's eyes swept across her face and said bitterly, "You are the bargaining chip for me to take his life."

Shen Pianzhi saw the overwhelming hatred in his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed in the corners of her eyes.

She became even more certain that Lu Xingzhi was not going to take her away today.

But he wanted to kill Xiao Chenyuan.

He came for Xiao Chenyuan.

She couldn't let Lu Xingzhi succeed.

Thinking of this, Shen Pianzhi said coldly: "I won't be used by you."

Lu Xingzhi ignored her words, stared at Xiao Chenyuan, and said provocatively:

"Are you scared? You keep saying you love Shen Pianzhi, but it seems like she's nothing special to you."

Xiao Chenyuan stood not far away and looked at him, his blood surging in his throat, his knuckles holding the pistol turned white from the force, his eyes sinister and cold.

The atmosphere between the two was tense, and the looks they gave each other were full of hostility.

Yu Huan was extremely anxious and looked serious, not knowing how to save Shen Pianzhi.

Pei Wanyue recovered from her fear with Xie Wenzhou's comfort, but still looked at Shen Pianzhi with worry.

Soon, Xiao Chenyuan's eyes were as sharp as a blade, and he said:

"You don't hate me because of Zhizhi, right? I want to hear why you are so determined to take my life."

Surprise flashed across Lu Xingzhi's eyes, and he said unhappily, "I want to get rid of you just because of Zhizhi."

Xiao Chenyuan looked horrified, and a cold voice escaped from between his teeth:

"From what I understand, you are from the East. Your father was the Minister of Personnel. Because he accepted bribes, the emperor ordered his family to be confiscated and exiled to a barbarian land."

"And your family was not spared. The men were stationed at the frontiers and were not allowed to return to the capital without being summoned, and the women were sent to the Jiaofangsi."

"As for the fact that you were able to escape, it was because your father entrusted you to the care of a friend after you were born. Otherwise, would you still be able to stand before me?"

Ever since Lu Xingzhi was about to go to Jincheng with them, Xiao Chenyuan asked someone to investigate Lu Xingzhi's background.

He only learned the news when he was severely punishing the bandits.

Thinking about these bandits, he knew that Zhizhi was in danger.

But before he reached the courtyard, he saw Mingdi rushing into the night sky with a ray of fire.

As soon as I came in, I saw Lu Xingzhi holding a dagger across Zhizhi's neck.

He really wanted to rush forward and chop Lu Xingzhi into pieces.

But he also knew that being impulsive would only cause Zhizhi to suffer.

So he swallowed his anger for a while.

When I find an opportunity, I will settle accounts with Lu Xingyi one by one!

Xiao Chenyuan pondered for a long time, his eyes were as cold as if dipped in ice water, and the anger in his body was tormenting him, like a ferocious beast, ready to tear them apart.

Lu Xingzhi's eyes suddenly turned fierce, "Nonsense!"

Xiao Chenyuan stared at him with his narrow and deep eyes, and said:

"If I were you, I would have stopped my father from accepting bribes earlier, but the matter is already settled. Even if you kill me, it won't reverse the situation and will only hasten their demise."

Lu Xingzhi is holding the Third Princess of the Eastern Kingdom hostage, which constitutes a crime.

If anything happens to Shen Pianzhi, he will not be able to escape even if he has wings.

If he continues to be stubborn, it will only cause his family to suffer.

Shen Pianzhi took a few moments to digest the news, and her brows furrowed slightly.

So Lu Xingzhi wanted to avenge his family.

But isn’t Xiao Chenyuan innocent too?

The next moment, Shen Pianzhi said in a cold voice: "Lu Xingzhi, don't make the same mistake again. Your father deserves to be punished for taking bribes."

"But my mother and sisters are innocent. They are still living in the Jiaofangsi!" Lu Xingzhi roared with red eyes.

"Since we are a prominent family, we all prosper and suffer together. This has always been the law of our dynasty. Are we setting a precedent just for you?" Shen Pianzhi said, "If you are dissatisfied, you should go to the King of the East, not Xiao Chenyuan."

Lu Xingzhi's lips were tight as he glared at Shen Pianzhi gloomily, his dagger moving an inch closer. "Shut up!"

Shen Pianzhi's skin was already delicate, and a hint of bright red appeared on her neck in the blink of an eye.

The pain made her frown, but she didn't cry out.

Xiao Chenyuan's dark eyes were filled with hostility, and blue veins spread to his forearms, brimming with vigorous strength. His cold voice was filled with anger:

"Don't touch her. I have granted your request."

Lu Xingzhi glanced at him and said, "Hurry up, my patience is running out."

Xiao Chenyuan moved the pistol that was aimed at him and pretended to aim it at himself.

Shen Pianzhi's eyebrows twitched suddenly. She took out the dagger given by Xiao Chenyuan with her hands behind her back and stabbed Lu Xingzhi's arm.

Lu Xingzhi felt a sharp pain in his hand, and blood flowed out from the dagger, staining his ink-black clothes and dripping onto the ground.

His expression froze, and he looked at Shen Pianzhi in astonishment, "You are truly heartless!"

Shen Pianzhi broke free from his shackles, picked up her skirt and ran towards Xiao Chenyuan.

Lu Xingzhi's lips turned pale, hatred spread in his heart, he swung the scimitar at Shen Pianzhi and said angrily.

"Shen Pianzhi, since you betrayed me, then you can forget about living!"

Yu Huan's face turned pale, "Zhizhi, be careful!"

Pei Wanyue exclaimed, "Sister Zhi!"

Shen Pianzhi quickened her pace and didn't dare look back, for fear that the scimitar would pierce her skin if she turned around.

In an instant, everyone present was nervous.
