C60 Chapter 60

"I'll take you in. If anything happens, I'll do my best to protect you. As for the others, how can I rest assured that they will fight with their lives on the line? " Ouyang Lingfeng hugged Shihan, whose back was facing him, and whispered softly into her ear.

Duan Shihan pushed Ouyang Lingfeng's hand away and broke free from him.

Turning around, Duan Shihan helplessly said, "Lingfeng, why do you have to do this?"

Ouyang Lingfeng shook his head. "I will gladly endure it."

At this time, the girl who sent Jiegeng to the inn that day was staring at Duan Shihan in the formation, her eyes were filled with hatred.

Ouyang Lingfeng held Shihan's hand. "Let's go, but you must not leave my hand."

Duan Shihan did not resist this time and kept following Ouyang Lingfeng into the formation.

After entering the formation, a storm was brewing inside the formation.

The surrounding woods were actually moving quickly, making people dazzled and unable to touch east, west, south, and north.

"Be careful!" Ouyang Lingfeng pulled Shihan closer and held her in his arms. At this moment, several pointy bamboo sticks shot past Duan Shihan's previous position.

Before Duan Shihan could calm her mind, attacks came one after another. Even though the situation was critical, Ouyang Lingfeng never let go of Duan Shihan's hand.

After the wave of attacks ended, Ouyang Lingfeng was already breathing heavily. His forehead was also covered in sweat.

"Lingfeng, you don't need to protect me like this. My martial arts aren't bad either. I can protect myself well." Duan Shihan pushed Ouyang Lingfeng away.

Who would have thought that Ouyang Lingfeng would stumble and fall to the ground?

"Hey, don't pretend. I didn't use much strength." Duan Shihan looked at him suspiciously, thinking that Ouyang Lingfeng was playing with her again.

Ouyang Lingfeng did not argue. He only put his hand on the back of his shoulder. His face was full of pain.

Duan Shihan felt that something was wrong and immediately went to check. She actually saw a large patch of bright red on Ouyang Lingfeng's right shoulder blade.

Duan Shihan immediately felt her heart ache and gently touched it with her hand. Her palm was immediately stained with blood.

"It's nothing. It's just a superficial wound." Ouyang Lingfeng forcefully pulled the corner of his mouth. "I already have some clues about this formation. Let's go in and explore it." Ouyang Lingfeng's forehead and tone had become much weaker.

"What are you probing for? Let's go back." Duan Shihan angrily rebuked.

"Shihan, I really am fine..." Ouyang Lingfeng turned his head and saw Duan Shihan's eyes were red as if they had been dyed by his blood.

"Ouyang Lingfeng, are you torturing me?" Duan Shihan's tears kept falling.

Ouyang Lingfeng panicked. He did not care about the wound on his shoulder and immediately raised his hand to help Shihan wipe away her tears. "Don't cry. I will listen to you. I will listen to you."

"You still move!" Duan Shihan immediately slapped his hand away.

"Ah." The sudden pull made Ouyang Lingfeng cry out in pain.

"Sorry, I did not do it on purpose." Duan Shihan instantly panicked again.

Ouyang Lingfeng shook his head and smiled happily.

"Don't delay any longer. Leave this place quickly. Do you know how to get out of the formation?" Duan Shihan also continued to fight with him.

Ouyang Lingfeng nodded. When he wanted to stand up with his body propped up, the woman beside him kindly helped him.

"Let's go."

Just like that, Duan Shihan's second attempt to break the formation ended in failure.

The woman hiding in the depths of the formation clenched her fists and gave up on chasing. Soon, she disappeared into the forest.

After returning to the courtyard, Shihan immediately wanted to turn around and leave.

"I will go and find Jiegeng. Wait a moment."

"No need." Ouyang Lingfeng shook his eyebrows. It was not that he had never seen Bai Jiegeng's bandaging skills. Back then, he had secretly laughed at Duan Shuang for a long time.

"It's good that you are here. I will guide you." Ouyang Lingfeng's face began to turn pale.

"Good, good!" Duan Shihan could not help but think too much and immediately found the medicine box familiar from the room.

Seeing Duan Shihan carrying the medicine box over, Ouyang Lingfeng felt comforted in his heart.

Although the wound area was quite large, it did not hurt the inside. After cleaning the wound and applying the medicine, the blood stopped after carefully bandaging it.

Duan Shihan's hands were covered in blood at this moment, and she looked like she was in a sorry state.

"Since there is nothing else, then I will go back first."

"Can you sit with me?" Ouyang Lingfeng was begging.

If it was during normal days, Duan Shihan would definitely be ruthless and leave. But today, in the end, Ouyang Lingfeng was also hurt because of her, so Duan Shihan had to agree.

"I originally thought that you were very capable, but in the end, you made yourself so miserable."

Facing Duan Shihan's ridicule, Ouyang Lingfeng smiled.

"You didn't have to keep pulling me. That's why you did this. Let's see if you still do such a stupid thing next time." Duan Shihan saw Ouyang Lingfeng's attitude and became angry.

"If it is next time, I will still protect you." Ouyang Lingfeng's eyes were firm.

"Like I said, I will not let you suffer any more harm."

Duan Shihan was silent.

"I only blame myself for not being strong enough to protect you." Ouyang Lingfeng went forward and held Duan Shihan's hand tightly.

This time, the two of them unexpectedly coexisted peacefully.

The next day, Jiegeng finally made up her mind to go to the Zhen'an King's Mansion's door again.

Before she went, Jiegeng even specially made a trip to the Piao Yuan's Pharmacy. Apart from telling Bai Lan about the appointed time with Ghost Doctor, she also gathered a large pile of medicinal herbs.

Carrying the full pile of medicinal herbs, Jiegeng went to the Zhen'an King's Mansion with satisfaction.

Jiegeng arrived at the entrance of the Zhen'an King's Mansion. Just as she wanted to go in, she was stopped by two guards at the entrance.

"May I ask if Miss has a letter of visit?"

"A letter of invitation? In the past, I didn't need that kind of thing." Jiegeng was puzzled.

These two guards looked unfamiliar. They were probably newly transferred.

"This is an important place in the Imperial Residence. There is no invitation letter. You are not allowed to enter."

"Then can you report this to the Royal Highness?" Jiegeng was helpless.

But these two guards did not pay any attention to Jiegeng and continued to stand straight.

Jiegeng was in trouble. She could not possibly shout at the door and let Duan Shuang come out by himself.

Helpless, Jiegeng could only sit on the green stairs at the door.
