Arrow Princess Nan Shuang, News Spreading Throughout the Sacred Domain

Qin Xizhi gripped his sleeve tightly, her eyes resolute. "No! I want to go with you!"

Shen Tan sighed helplessly, reached out and took her hand, "Okay."

The Qin Clan patriarch looked at the two of them, his expression complex. His lips moved, but in the end, it only turned into a heavy sigh, "..."

Qin Clan Main Hall

Wei Yan sat leisurely in the main seat, examining her hands. Her jade-like fingers appeared exceptionally slender and long in the light and shadow.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps broke the silence inside the room.

Her gaze then turned to the doorway, where she saw Shen Tan and the others slowly entering her field of vision.

The Qin Clan patriarch, his face beaming with smiles and his back bowed low, said in a fawning tone, "Young Master Wei."

Wei Yan raised her eyes slightly and gave a casual "hmm".

Despite his pain, Shen Tan strode forward, pointed at Wei Yan without hesitation, and demanded angrily, "What exactly do you intend to do!"

Wei Yan chuckled lightly, "What do I intend to do? Naturally, I want to remove obstacles for my beloved."

Shen Tan's brows furrowed, his face full of confusion. "What?"

Wei Yan crossed her arms and said in a chilling tone, "You've gotten in A-Ran's way, so I'll get rid of you for A-Ran's sake."

At this moment, Qin Xizhi suddenly spoke up, "A-Ran? Is that the Divine Son Xunran?"

Shen Tan quickly turned to look at Qin Xizhi, his eyes filled with surprise, "Xizhi, how do you know who A-Ran is that she's talking about?"

Qin Xizhi lowered her voice slightly, her gaze somewhat evasive, "On the day of the Wei Clan's young master's succession ceremony, news of the extraordinary relationship between Divine Son Xunran and the Wei young master had already spread throughout the entire Sacred Domain."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yan couldn't help but laugh, a hint of knowing smugness in her smile. "Is that so?"

She knew perfectly well that she had deliberately spread this rumor to make the entire Sacred Domain understand the unusual nature of her relationship with A-Ran.

Departed Souls Bureau

Nan Shuang's face was pale as she deftly treated her wounds, especially the gruesome wound that pierced through her arm, from which blood seeped out continuously, staining half of her sleeve bright red.

Her brows furrowed only slightly, and her clenched teeth showed that she was silently enduring it.

"Oh ho, Second Brother, you've actually suffered such a serious injury?" A mocking voice drifted over.

Nan Shuang immediately raised her head and looked at Nan Wang who walked in; her gaze seemed capable of freezing a person instantly.

When she saw Nan Xunran beside Nan Wang, her eyes softened instantly, and she called softly, "Xunran?"

Nan Wang complained, quite disgruntled, "Hey! Why do you only see Little Xunran and not me?!"

Nan Shuang merely glanced at him coldly and then ignored him.

Nan Wang: "..."

Nan Shuang forced herself to get up, her injured hand hanging limply, blood dripping continuously, spreading into patches of blood on the ground. With her other hand, she pulled Nan Xunran to sit down.

Seeing Nan Xunran's gaze fall on her injured hand, she subconsciously covered it with her other hand, her tone no longer so cold. "Don't look."

Nan Xunran placed his hand on Nan Shuang's arm. In an instant, a flash of light disappeared, and the originally stinging wound gradually became numb, with the pain lessening little by little.

The gruesome wound that pierced through his arm healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, restoring his skin to its original smooth and delicate state.

Nan Shuang gently moved her wrists, finding them flexible again. A faint smile appeared on her face as she looked at Nan Xunran and asked, "Xunran, what brings you here?"

Seeing this, Nan Wang couldn't help but jump up and shout, "What about me?!"

Nan Shuang flicked her wrist, and a short knife flew out instantly. She said calmly, "Shut up."

Then she turned her head back to Nan Xunran, as if nothing had happened.

Nan Wang dodged the short knife and said with a grin, "I heard your whereabouts were exposed, so I came with Little Xunran to see you."

Nan Shuang then sheathed her dagger, her tone softening slightly. "You did something decent."

Qin Clan

A dark figure silently approached and whispered in Wei Yan's ear, "Young Master, our scouts have reported seeing that person from the Nan Clan."

Wei Yan's gaze sharpened instantly, and she asked, "Where is A-Ran now?"

"At the Qin Clan's gate, accompanied by the Poison Young Master Nan Wang and Arrow Princess Nan Shuang."

Wei Yan nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Understood, you may leave."

The man quickly bowed and vanished without a trace in an instant, like a phantom.

Wei Yan straightened her clothes and then hurriedly ran towards the door, her skirt swaying slightly in her haste.

When she saw the figure she had longed for, a flash of joy crossed her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and softly called out, "Divine Son Xunran."

Nan Xunran simply nodded slightly, remaining as aloof and detached as ever.
