After rebirth, he became the favorite of the Moon Goddess.

Late at night, outside Yunhai Town.

Because she was new to sword control, Jiu Ge's flying speed was not very fast. By the time she arrived outside the gate of Yunhai Town, it was already close to Chou hour.

From a distance, I could see that the entire Yunhai Town was enveloped in a strong smell of blood. Outside the city gate, corpses were lying everywhere.

Seeing the tragic scene in front of him, Jiu Ge's pupils suddenly shrank, his face instantly turned pale, and his legs could not restrain themselves from shaking.

Although she had been practicing for several years, this was the first time she encountered such a bloody scene. The strong and pungent smell made her feel sick in her stomach.

"What happened, Xiao Ze, are you not among these people?" Jiu Ge trembled his lips, moved his steps cautiously, and walked towards the corpses.

but……

She couldn't distinguish anything except the bright red blood and mutilated corpses all over the floor.

"Ozawa... where are you? Don't let anything happen to you..." Jiuge covered his chest and forced himself to calm down.

Soon, she searched the half-mile radius of the city gate.

Just when Jiuge was glad that she didn't see Nangong Yueze, suddenly, her eyes fell on a body lying on its side at the gate of the city.

The corpse was wearing a moon-white brocade robe, with a long sword stuck in its chest. The blood flowing out from one end of the sword dyed the surrounding ground red.

Jiuge suddenly remembered that when he saw Nangong Yueze in the morning, he was also wearing a moon-white brocade robe.

Could it be him? ? ! !

Thinking of this, Jiu Ge's heart suddenly clenched into a ball.

"Ozawa..."

Without any explanation, she ran towards the city gate.

Running, running, Jiu Ge’s right foot

There was a sudden pain in her ankle, and she stopped suddenly, frowning and looking at her ankle.

I saw a silver thread wrapped around her ankle at some point.

What's even worse is that the silver thread has penetrated directly into the flesh, and blood is dripping down the silver thread...

"Hiss!!!" The severe pain made Jiuge gasp. She reached out and touched her right ankle and found that it was swollen.

Obviously, the silver thread was deeply pierced.

"Damn!!" Jiuge cursed in a low voice. She tugged on one end of the silver wire and tried to tear it off, but the silver wire seemed to have taken root and was firmly embedded in her flesh. No matter how hard I pull, I can't get even half of it out.

"Ah..." Jiuge was so painful that she almost shed tears, but when she saw the moon-white figure not far away, she forced her tears back.

"Oze..." Holding back the pain, Jiuge continued to walk towards the corpse.

20 m.

ten meters.

five meters.

Finally, when he was about two meters away from the corpse, Jiuge stopped.

Through the moonlight, she could clearly see the man's appearance.

This was a man of about 30 years old. His face was extremely pale, his eyes were slightly closed, and he was obviously dead.

Seeing this scene, Jiuge breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oze, it's not you, that's great, I knew you would be fine..." Jiuge murmured.

Just when she was about to get up, she unexpectedly found the wound on her ankle involved. She groaned and fell to the ground again.

She gritted her teeth and stood up despite the severe pain. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from directly in front of her.

.

Jiuge frowned slightly and followed the sound.

With a cry, a tall and mighty white horse galloped over. Soon, a man in black robes jumped off the horse and landed directly in front of Jiu Ge.

"Oze." Jiuge looked overjoyed when he saw the person coming.

"What are you doing here alone in the middle of the night??!!" Nangong Yueze asked sternly, his face darkening.

"I..." Jiuge instinctively wanted to explain, but when she saw the cold and serious expression on his face, she swallowed her words again.

"What am I?!" Nangong Yueze's face became more and more gloomy, but when he noticed the wound on Jiuge's ankle, he couldn't help but frowned: "Your foot, are you injured?"

"Yeah." Jiuge pursed his lips and lowered his eyes and replied, "It's because..."

Before she could speak, Nangong Yueze picked her up directly, then jumped on the horse, "I'll take you out of here first."

Jiuge stared at him blankly. After hesitating for a moment, she lay obediently in his arms and curled up into a ball.

Nangong Yueze turned the horse's head and left the city gate as quickly as possible.

Along the way, he kept a sullen face, as if he was brewing anger, and refused to say a word to Jiuge.

Seeing his appearance, countless distracting thoughts flashed through Jiu Ge's head, and various speculations poured into her brain, but she suppressed them all in the end.

Forget it, it's not too late to ask him again when we get to the place.

After a cup of tea, Nangong Yueze took Jiu Ge back to Yin Yue Pavilion.

Seeing the girl in his arms, Su Ho was stunned for a moment, "Your Highness, did you rush out just now to find her?

"

"Well, Su Ho, check her foot injury first." Nangong Yueze responded indifferently, then put down Jiuge and handed it to Su Ho.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will take care of it." Su Ho said with a smile. After saying that, she helped Jiu Ge to the stone bench aside, squatted down, and motioned for her to take off her shoes.

After Jiuge hesitated for a moment, he slowly took off his shoes and socks.

Looking at her bloody ankle, Su Ho frowned slightly and immediately began to clean her wound.

"Ugh...it hurts!" Even though Su Ho's movements were very gentle, Jiu Ge couldn't help but groan.

"Little girl, please bear with the pain. Your wound is quite deep. If you don't take care of it properly, it will leave scars." Su Ho raised his eyes and glanced at her, reminding her.

"Yeah." Jiuge responded dully and said nothing.

Not long after, Su Ho wiped the wound clean for her, then took out the ointment and applied it carefully.

"You should have a good rest tonight. Don't move around in the next few days to avoid recurrence of the injury." Su Ho warned.

"But I have to take the Zixu Academy exam tomorrow..." Jiuge scratched his head in distress.

"I can't help you with this." Su Ho shrugged, "It's almost dawn. It's time for me and Si Qin to clean up the mess outside. You can do whatever you want."

After saying that, she bowed to Nangong Yueze, then turned and left.

Seeing Su Ho walking away, Jiu Ge turned to look at Nangong Yueze who was standing aside, "Xiao Ze...what happened outside? Who are those people?"

Hearing this, Nangong Yueze did not answer immediately, but asked instead: "Why did you come here suddenly??"

"I……

"Jiu Ge lowered her eyes and looked at the ground. After a long time, she whispered: "I was worried about your safety, so I came here overnight. I guess you should be here..."

"Do you know who those people are?? You are just a first-order spiritual sect, and you dare to follow them here?!" Nangong Yueze's handsome face was slightly cold, and his eyes were mixed with a little anger.

Hearing Nangong Yueze's reprimand, Jiu Ge lowered his head, feeling full of grievances, "But I'm really worried about you... I just mastered sword control, and it took me more than an hour to fly here, I..."

Nangong Yueze didn't speak, but stared at her momentarily, with strange emotions flashing in his eyes.

Feeling his burning gaze, Jiuge nervously grasped the corners of her clothes. After a moment, she whispered: "Oze, don't look at me like that. I know I was reckless tonight, but I'm afraid you might make a mistake... ...I..." At the end of her sentence, her voice became smaller and smaller, "Forget it, I'd better go and rest first..."

After saying that, she turned around hurriedly and prepared to leave.

However, as soon as she swayed, Nangong Yueze grabbed her arm.

"Wait a minute!" There was a hint of tenderness in his voice, "Did you really take the risk and come here because you were worried about me?"

Hearing Nangong Yueze's words, Jiuge was startled. After a long time, she bit her lip and nodded slowly, "It's true."

Although they had only known each other for a short time, she felt that he was special to her.

She liked him and just wanted to be by his side.

Nangong Yueze was silent for a while, then suddenly reached out and took her whole body into his arms.

"Ozawa?

"

Feeling Nangong Yueze's actions, Jiuge was immediately surprised, and an indescribable feeling surged throughout his body in an instant.

This was the first time that Nangong Yueze took the initiative to approach her, let alone in such an environment.

She raised her head and looked at the other person's angular profile, and her heartbeat began to accelerate.

"Ozawa, I..." Jiuge's cheeks turned red.

Nangong Yueze stared at her steadily, the emotion in his eyes getting stronger and stronger. After a long time, he buried his head in her ear, lightly opened his thin lips and said: "I forgive you this time, and you are not allowed to do this in the future." Such a dangerous thing.”

"Yes, I understand." Jiuge responded obediently, "Can you tell me now what happened outside?"

"It's getting late, you can go and rest." Nangong Yueze let go of her and changed the subject.

"But you haven't answered my question yet..." Jiuge blinked twice.

"What, you don't plan to take part in tomorrow's assessment?" Nangong Yueze looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"No." Jiuge shook his head and quickly stepped away, "I'm going to rest right now."

"Yes." Nangong Yueze nodded, "I will accompany you back to Zixu City tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Jiuge stood there, staring blankly at Nangong Yueze's departing back, the throbbing in his heart getting stronger and stronger.

She never thought that one day, she would be so close to him, and she never thought that one day, he would take the initiative to hug her.

"Oze, do you like me too?" Jiuge murmured softly.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

On the outskirts of Zixu City, outside a temporary tent.

"Commander Li, the three hundred soldiers sent to Yunhai Town last night

None of the dead soldiers came back. "A masked man wearing black armor and holding a silver gun was kneeling on the ground, reporting to Li Yangming.

"What!!" Hearing this, Li Yangming narrowed his eyes in suspicion, and a murderous intent flashed across his eyes, "Are all these people trash?"

"Commander Li, what should we do now? Should we send more people?"

"Today is the first day of the Zixu Academy assessment. There are people from all colleges and sects everywhere. If we act rashly, we may attract their attention." Li Yangming squinted his eyes and said thoughtfully.

After hearing this, the masked man nodded and said respectfully: "In that case, we might as well send some people in disguise to investigate first, and then we will make a decision after we know the situation in Yunhai Town."

"Okay." Li Yangming nodded and agreed to the masked man's suggestion, "Send the order and let the remaining dead soldiers stand by. If there is any news in Yunhai Town, report it as soon as possible!"

"Yes!!"
