"I brought some food with me. How are you going to thank me, young lady?"

"Nie Guizhou, stay away from her."

Xu Yi's cold voice was followed by Nie Guizhou's voice.

But his coldness had no effect, because Qiao Xi's chin was pinched by a hand, forcing her to look up.

She and Xu Yi were both tied up. There was no doubt that it was Nie Guizhou's hands.

Thinking of the things this hand had done to bully men and women, Qiao Xi felt disgusted.

She twisted her neck hard, trying to free her chin from Nie Guizhou's grip, but every time she moved, Nie Guizhou's grip became stronger. In the end, her chin was in great pain but she still couldn't get rid of his annoying hand.

"roll!"

Qiao Xi couldn't bear it any longer and started swearing without caring about Xu Yi's presence.

"Oh, the young lady has a strong temper. She's quite charming. I like it."

As he spoke, Nie Guizhou took off the black cloth covering Qiao Xi's eyes, and his hands became restless for a while, touching Qiao Xi's face intentionally or unintentionally.

Although Xu Yi couldn't see it, he could hear disgust and abnormal anger in Qiao Xi's tone.

If you think about it for a moment, you will know what Qiao Xi might have encountered.

Thinking of what Nie Guizhou had done before and the look in his eyes when he looked at Qiao Xi, Xu Yi wished he could break free from the ropes on his body immediately and kill him with his own hands.

But he couldn't do it now even though he wanted to.

Xu Yi forced himself to calm down.

"Nie Guizhou, I'm warning you, stay away from her. I was the one who sent you to Lingxiao City. If you want to vent your anger, just come at me."

"Humph! I didn't look for you, but you couldn't help it."

Nie Guizhou was furious when he thought about the suffering he had endured in prison.

Looking at Xu Yi who was in good health, he couldn't swallow his anger anymore.

Interest in Qiao Xi also faded.

Qiao Qian watched him walk towards Xu Yi step by step, and then watched him grit his teeth as he removed the black cloth from Xu Yi's eyes.

At some point, he had a small and exquisite dagger in his hand.

The dagger was like an ice snake, moving across Xu Yi's face.

Fortunately, it did not pierce Xu Yi's skin.

Xu Yi looked at Nie Guizhou who was gritting his teeth in front of him, feeling the coldness of the dagger, but there was no fear in his eyes.

To be honest, Xu Yi felt more relaxed at this moment than before, because he successfully drew Nie Guizhou's attention to himself.

As for him, Nie Shufeng just said that he is still useful, so his life will not be lost, and at most he will suffer some physical pain.

Just as I thought of this, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my arm.

The dagger in Nie Guizhou's hand had cut through his clothes at some point, leaving a bloody mark on Xu Yi's arm.

Then, another one.

Xu Yi pursed his lips tightly, enduring the severe pain without making a sound.

Obviously, Xu Yi's behavior stimulated Nie Guizhou again, because his knife cut faster and deeper.

In less than a moment, one of Xu Yi's sleeves was completely stained with blood.

Fortunately, Nie Guizhou still took his father's words into consideration and did not let Xu Yi bleed to death.

Although there were many wounds on his arms, the bleeding stopped after a while.

Qiao Xi was very close to him, how could she ignore the knife blows one after another.

But she knew that Xu Yi did this to save her from Nie Guizhou.

She couldn't let Xu Yi's efforts go to waste, otherwise he would have taken so many blows in vain.

She thought so, but seeing Xu Yi like this, how could Qiao Xi not be touched?

In her own world, she only has one teacher and one junior fellow apprentice. Neither of them is reliable, and they rely on her to solve any problems.

This was the first time she was protected like this, and unconsciously, she felt a softer feeling in her heart.

Nie Guizhou looked at Xu Yi's bloody arm and had no intention of stopping. His eyes looked at Xu Yi's other intact arm.

"Swish!"

Two more slashes.

Xu Yi endured the pain until his forehead was covered with sweat. But he still said nothing.

"You haven't even cried out in such a state, you are quite patient. I want to see how long you can endure it."

As he spoke, he raised the dagger in his hand again, but his target was no longer Xu Yi's arm.

His eyes inadvertently swept over Xu Yi, and then an evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Qiao Xi realized something was wrong and, without caring about anything else, she shouted, "No!"

However, Nie Guizhou seemed not to hear it. He changed the direction of the dagger in his hand and stabbed towards Xu Yi.

Qiao Xi was so frightened that she closed her eyes.

Then she heard a groan of pain.

"Well!"

After the painful groan, there was no more sound.

Qiao Xi waited for a moment and slowly opened her eyes, but tears blurred her vision, making it difficult for her to see the scene in front of her.

Her hands were tied and she wanted to wipe the tears from her eyes, but she was unable to do so.

"Hiss, little brother, can you be a little gentler?"

The person who spoke was Xu Yi.

"I'm already at my lightest. How about you apply the medicine yourself?"

This sound is——

Hearing this voice, Qiao Xi was surprised and immediately opened her eyes wide and looked towards Xu Yi.

But she could only see a blurry figure.

Fortunately, the confusion only lasted for a moment before someone untied her.

Qiao Xi quickly wiped the tears from her eyes with her sleeve, and then she saw clearly that the person who was helping her untie the rope was Kuzhu, who was beside the adult.

Looking at Xu Yi again, her gaze first stopped at Xu Yi, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see a pool of blood.

Then she noticed Nie Guizhou lying on the ground.

Seeing him motionless, Qiao Xi couldn't help but ask, "Did you kill him?"

Unexpectedly, Kuzhu glanced at her and said calmly, "No, my parents told me to try not to dirty my hands."

After saying that, he looked at Xu Yi and said, "I still need to deal with it outside. Can you handle it here?"

Xu Yi nodded and waved to let him do as he pleased.

Kuzhu nodded and walked out of the tent.

Only then did Qiao Xi realize that they were in a small tent.

"Come and help!"

Seeing that she was still in a daze, Xu Yi hurriedly spoke to call her back to her senses.

Hearing his voice, Qiao Xifang came back to her senses, looked at the rope in his hand, and then saw that he was holding one of Nie Guizhou's hands, apparently wanting to tie Nie Guizhou up.

However, because both of his arms were injured, his movements were a bit clumsy.

Seeing this, Qiao Xi hurriedly squatted down to help.

With her help, Nie Guizhou was tied up quickly.

Xu Yi pricked up his ears to listen to the noise outside, then looked at Qiao Xi and whispered, "I'll go out and take a look. Don't run around here."

Qiao Xi nodded hurriedly.

She lifted a corner of the tent curtain, and after seeing Xu Yi walk away, she lowered the tent curtain again.

She had noticed just now that Xu Yi's face and lips were a little pale.

Although the knife wounds were not fatal, a lot of blood was lost. It will probably take a long time to recover.

We need to get him some tonic.

Thinking of medicine, Qiao Xi suddenly remembered that there were many medicines in the system space, and she seemed to have seen many tonic prescriptions in the pharmacy.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xi entered the space without thinking.
