“Ouyang Zixin, don’t say that. We didn’t think that way, really. No one would think like that,” Nangong Tuo explained anxiously. He admitted that he had hesitated a little earlier, but he still wanted to believe Ouyang Zixin.
However, at this moment, it was already a bit late to say such things. Moreover, Ouyang Zixin was not an ordinary person; her perception was stronger than anyone else's. Although Nangong Tuo was eager to explain, she could sense the sincerity in his tone. Yet, the fleeting uncertainty in his eyes did not escape Ouyang Zixin's notice. She sneered inwardly; this was the person who had been longing to marry her, and it turned out to be nothing more than this.
With her expression growing colder, she also wanted to see if she could find that same insincere trust on Yun Tianmo's face.
However, Yun Tianmo did not disappoint her. When she turned to look at him, his gaze was fixed on her without any avoidance, filled with complete trust. This made Ouyang Zixin's heart, which had just begun to grow cold, start to regain its warmth. A man like Yun Tianmo, who usually appeared so indifferent and rarely spoke of love, turned out to be more reliable at critical moments.
No wonder people say it's better to trust a pig will climb a tree than a man's words.
Fortunately, Yun Tianmo did not have such a slick tongue, which pleased Ouyang Zixin greatly. But with a casual glance, she said, “I’ll only say this once; believe it or not. Zhao Feiyu’s disappearance has nothing to do with me. While I did let her go, the situation at that time was different from what you saw. I can’t explain it clearly now. However, I have a clear conscience because if I had intended to harm her, I wouldn’t have provided her with protection.”
Wait a minute. Ouyang Zixin suddenly stopped as a thought flashed through her mind—this was something she had overlooked earlier: Did Nangong Tuo and the others see her when she used spatial movement? If they saw her as remaining in place while Zhao Feiyu was set down before the Divine Escape Hand Seal was used, then there would be another unexplainable matter.
What caused their vision to create an illusion? They completely failed to see all of her movements and each had their own different interpretations of her actions.
“Did you see my spatial movement?” Ouyang Zixin lowered her voice and asked Yun Tianmo. If he hadn’t seen it, then surely no one else had either because no one here had higher cultivation than him.
Yun Tianmo was taken aback and recalled that her spatial movement was indeed a form of defense. No wonder she had carried Zhao Feiyu on her back; only by doing so could she perform spatial movement with Zhao Feiyu alongside her. However, thinking about it now, he realized he hadn’t seen her make any movements at all. This explained why he became so anxious when he suddenly saw her disappear from where she stood; he thought she had vanished like Zhao Feiyu.
Ouyang Zixin thought to herself that this must be the case. From the first illusion to this visual and auditory illusion, there should be a progressive relationship at play here.
As Ouyang Zixin fell into deep thought, the Stone Cauldron in the Underground Palace suddenly exploded with a loud bang. She was caught off guard and was thrown back, while Yun Tianmo reached out to grab her but was already too late.
This sudden change left everyone at a loss. Aside from Ouyang Zixin, who was directly blasted away, everyone else was affected to some extent. The flying debris acted like hidden weapons, making it difficult to evade. After a moment of chaos, calm finally returned.
"Yun Tianmo, what are you doing? Let her go!" Nangong Tuo had just freed himself from the small stones when he immediately sought out the blasted Ouyang Zixin. He regretted not rushing to protect her earlier, missing yet another opportunity to show off. But when his gaze found Ouyang Zixin, he also saw Yun Tianmo holding her tightly, facing away from them. This made him shout in dissatisfaction as he rushed over.
Yun Tianmo had just reached out but failed to catch her in time; he immediately lunged forward without caring about the debris flying around him. In his haste, he didn't even bother to defend himself and became a human shield, protecting Ouyang Zixin in his arms.
However, despite his efforts, he was still a step too late. Ouyang Zixin fell to the ground after being thrown away, and blood flowed from her forehead where she had been struck by the flying stones. This sight filled Yun Tianmo with both pain and anger. Why did the Millennium Ruins always target her? The force of the air blast from the Stone Cauldron had not only been directed at her but had struck her with the greatest intensity, catching her completely off guard.
"Little Woman, has your Bad Luck Physique returned?" Yun Tianmo ignored Nangong Tuo's shouting and wiped the blood from Ouyang Zixin's forehead. No matter how much he wiped, new blood continued to flow from the wound.
The injury on Ouyang Zixin's forehead was serious; it was not only deep but also seemed to have mysterious energy flowing beneath the surface.
Was another wave of mysterious energy trying to seep into her body?
Yun Tianmo furrowed his brow; he didn't know if this was a good sign or not, but he would not allow her to be harmed any further. He quickly gathered mysterious energy at his fingertips and pressed it against several acupoints near Ouyang Zixin's wound in an attempt to stop the bleeding and control the flow of mysterious energy.
"Let go of her!" Nangong Tuo approached from behind without seeing what Yun Tianmo was doing and naturally did not know that Ouyang Zixin had already fainted from the impact. He stepped forward and pulled at Yun Tianmo's clothing without hesitation.
This action ignited Yun Tianmo's anger; his entire body trembled as thick mysterious energy enveloped him instantly. As soon as Nangong Tuo touched his shoulder, he was pushed back five steps before regaining his footing. Holding his churning chest, Nangong Tuo felt as if all his blood was boiling inside him; it was quite uncomfortable and frustrating. "Don't go too far!"
Yun Tianmo couldn't be bothered with this foolish prince who only made things worse; he focused intently on treating Ouyang Zixin's other wounds. Seeing that Nangong Tuo was still unwilling to give up and seemed intent on approaching again, Yun Tianying stepped in front of him and kindly advised, "Third Prince, Mo is currently treating Miss Ouyang; it's best if you don't disturb him for now."
Because of his recklessness, it was uncertain whether he had affected Mo, but seeing Mo unceremoniously push people away, it was likely that there was some impact. Not to mention for the safety of Ouyang Zixin, even for Nangong Tuo's life, Yun Tianying could not allow him to act recklessly any longer.
"What? Ouyang Zixin is injured?" Nangong Tuo finally calmed down, glancing at Yun Tianmo's back, feeling somewhat uncertain. However, he still refused to back down verbally. "Then I must go see for myself. What does he mean by this? She is the Legitimate Daughter of my National Guardian Mystic Master Manor! I have to check on her!"
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Yun Tianying decided to ignore him. After all, it was Nangong Tuo who was seeking his own demise by insisting on getting involved; he had already been more than reasonable.
(To be continued.)
