Youyue took a deep breath, her sadness subsiding, and her expression turned cold. "From this moment on, you and I are no longer friends."
Without further hesitation, she turned and left decisively.
Ye Xuan couldn't help but take a step forward, raise his right hand, and softly call out, " Youyue..."
Seeing this scene, Yang Qingqing's anger erupted instantly. In a flash, she disappeared from the spot, and a sword's cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
Ye Xuan's expression changed drastically. "Not good! Qingqing, stop!"
Youyue paused, turned abruptly, and stared incredulously at Yang Qingqing charging towards her. "You!"
Pfft!
The longsword pierced straight into Youyue's left shoulder, instantly staining her robes red with blood, which dripped down the blade to the ground.
Youyue's mind went blank as she stared incredulously at Yang Qingqing in front of her. She never dreamed that Yang Qingqing would actually try to kill her!
At that moment, her heart ached terribly, as if a thousand silver needles were piercing it simultaneously.
Yang Qingqing's face was contorted with rage. At this moment, she seemed to have gone mad. With a sudden burst of force, her longsword pierced through Youyue's entire left shoulder.
Tears streamed down Youyue's face. She still couldn't believe it, which made her completely lose the will to resist, allowing Yang Qingqing to plunge the long sword into her body.
Yang Qingqing snarled, "Die!"
After saying that, she drew her long sword and slashed fiercely at Youyue's neck. The whole process was decisive and without any hesitation!
Youyue stood there dumbfounded, not dodging the sword.
Buzz!
Just at this critical moment, a sword's cry suddenly rang out!
A flash of cold light tore apart space and time wherever it passed.
Pfft!
Yang Qingqing suddenly froze on the spot, her expression still ferocious, but her eyes were filled with confusion and endless fear.
Clang!
The longsword slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.
The next moment, Yang Qingqing's body fell straight backward. During the fall, her head separated from her body, and a large amount of blood gushed out, instantly staining the ground red.
"Because of a woman like this, you're willing to risk your life?" A cold voice, tinged with anger, rang out.
Ye Xuan snapped out of his daze and turned to look.
In the distance, a man dressed in white slowly walked towards them. His skin was fair and delicate, his temperament was aloof, and his eyes held a faint sense of detachment, yet possessed an irresistible charm.
Ye Xuan looked at the man in white, his brows furrowed and his eyes filled with doubt. Because he had just returned from going out with Yang Qingqing, he was unaware of what had happened at the academy during that time.
Su Chen approached Youyue and said indifferently, "You're such a stupid woman."
He reached out and touched the wound, and life force surged forth, instantly healing the sword wound on Youyue's left shoulder without leaving a single scar.
Youyue's face was already covered in tears, and she kept sobbing, not responding to Su Chen's words.
"Well."
Su Chen sighed softly, unsure how to comfort him.
"Who are you?" Ye Xuan asked.
Su Chen turned to look at Ye Xuan, his expression calm, and said nothing.
Ye Xuan frowned, glanced at Yang Qingqing's corpse, and his face immediately turned grim. He said, "Don't you know the consequences of killing someone at the academy?"
Su Chen remained silent.
Anger and jealousy flashed in Ye Xuan's eyes, and at the same time, a terrifying aura spread from his body.
Su Chen suddenly said, "Are you going to attack me?"
"You dare to kill someone at the academy? You deserve to die!"
Ye Xuan formed a hand seal and then slammed his hands onto the ground. The ground shook instantly, and vines surged out from the ground, all heading towards Su Chen.
Su Chen stood calmly with his hands behind his back, making no move against the vines, simply uttering a single word, "Destroy."
As the word was uttered, the terrifying vines suddenly burst into flames, and in the blink of an eye, they were reduced to ashes.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan's pupils contracted, and he dared not be careless. He formed a hand seal again, and two beams of power shot out from his eyes, golden and dazzling, their power extremely terrifying.
With a gentle wave of his right hand, Su Chen annihilated both forces.
"Ah!"
Ye Xuan screamed in agony, feeling excruciating pain in his eyes. Blood flowed from the corners of his eyes, forming two streaks of bloody tears, a truly horrifying sight.
Su Chen strode forward, his robes fluttering, his handsome face devoid of any emotion. He approached Ye Xuan, grabbed Ye Xuan by the neck, and lifted him up.
Ye Xuan struggled incessantly, his face filled with terror, "No... impossible! How could he be so strong? Who are you?!"
Su Chen calmly looked at Ye Xuan, whom he held in his hand, "You are not worthy to know."
He began to exert force with his right hand.
Ye Xuan panicked immediately, his heart filled with extreme fear. He hurriedly said, "You... you can't kill me, I... I'm a member of the Ye Household..."
Bang!
Before he could finish his threat, Su Chen suddenly exerted force, crushing his neck and soul.
bamboo forest.
Youyue sat on the ground, hugging her knees, her eyes vacant, devoid of their former brilliance.
Lin Fan looked at Su Chen, "Master, what's wrong with Master's wife?"
Su Chen's face darkened. "If you keep calling me that, you'll regret it."
"Forehead..."
Lin Fan's expression stiffened, and he gave an awkward smile. "Then, Master, what's wrong with Senior Sister? Why is she so sad? Could it be... could it be that Master dumped her?"
Bang!
"Ah!"
Lin Fan screamed and was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground. He struggled to his feet, his face full of grievance as he covered his swollen left cheek.
Su Chen withdrew his fist and said calmly, "She was betrayed by her own sister. Don't ask about the details."
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan pondered for a moment, then sighed softly, "That's just how the world is; feelings can easily change."
Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his silver hair flowing, and did not respond.
Lin Fan said, "Master, aren't you going to comfort her? After all, she's your fiancée."
Su Chen shook his head slightly, "What she needs most right now is peace and quiet. Let's not disturb her. I'm hungry, go and get me something to eat."
"Okay!" Lin Fan nodded, and his figure disappeared from the spot.
Time flies, the last rays of sunlight fade away, stars twinkle in the sky, and the crescent moon hangs high, casting a soft glow.
A gentle breeze carries a hint of coolness.
A roaring campfire cast a warm glow.
Lin Fan placed the skewered meat next to the campfire. After a while, the tender pieces of meat gradually turned golden and crispy under the heat of the flames, with oil dripping continuously, and the aroma of meat filled the bamboo forest.
Su Chen and the other two sat around the campfire. Lin Fan stared intently at the delicious roasted meat, eagerly anticipating its cooking so he could enjoy a hearty meal.
