Chapter 2604: Chapter 2604: Strike at Everyone You Meet
Jian Yufei’s cheeks were burning with guilt.
"Actually, I don’t want to think of him that way. He risked his life to save me; I shouldn’t doubt him. I just..."
"I understand."
Ruan Tianling laughed, "They’re too cunning, so it’s understandable for you to think that way. I thought the same, but then I confirmed another suspicion."
"What suspicion?"
Ruan Tianling pursed his lips and said, "Their plan was probably to kill me. Who knew the person acting would suddenly change their mind and plan to kill you? I guess Nangong Yi saw he was going to harm you and decided to save you."
"He was just trying to save me?" Jian Yufei looked at Nangong Yi.
What exactly was it about her that made him risk his life to save her?
Ruan Tianling’s deep voice pulled her back to reality.
"Maybe he felt guilty towards you and decided to save you."
"You mean, he hurt my father and now feels guilty?"
Ruan Tianling naturally wouldn’t tell her that Nangong Yi liked her.
"Hmm..."
Jian Yufei smiled, "It seems he’s not such a bad person. Since he sincerely regrets it and saved me, let’s write off everything from the past."
Ruan Tianling: "..."
He hadn’t said those things to change her opinion of him!
Forget it, Nangong Yi wasn’t really a match for him; there was no need to be so anxious.
Jian Yufei sighed again and said, "But even if we save him now, we don’t know how long he can survive. Nangong Xu will make a move on us sooner or later..."
By then, with Nangong Yi seriously injured, how would he escape?
Even she and Ruan Tianling found it difficult to escape, so bringing him along was completely out of the question.
Ruan Tianling pulled her into his arms, "Why think so much? Let’s take it one step at a time."
"Mm. Won’t those few come out tonight?"
"Probably not."
"I’m afraid they’ll come out again."
Now, they were already completely at odds, and it had reached a point of no return.
It’s safe to say those people were utterly mad.
So she was very worried they might plan another ambush.
"Even if they show up, I can handle it. If they dare show up again, I’ll fight each one I see," Ruan Tianling said.
Jian Yufei laughed and asked, "Why not kill each one you see?"
"Can’t kill them all."
"Why?"
"If they die, it’ll be our turn..."
Ruan Tianling spoke very calmly, but Jian Yufei’s mood suddenly became heavy.
In the end, they were all just mice in Nangong Xu’s hands.
He locked them up to make them kill each other, just for his amusement.
But once one side was wiped out, Nangong Xu’s fun would vanish too.
Then the ones left wouldn’t hold any meaning.
No wonder Ruan Tianling didn’t kill them; so that’s how it was.
But how long could they hold on like this?
"Ruan Tianling, I can’t see tomorrow anymore..." Jian Yufei suddenly said.
Ruan Tianling tightened his embrace.
In truth, he couldn’t see it either.
He always comforted Jian Yufei, saying he’d find a way to get her out.
But by himself, how could he withstand so many people?
He was indeed taking it one step at a time, believing that as long as they survived, they’d eventually find a way out.
Ruan Tianling was about to comfort Jian Yufei, when he heard her say,
"But I’m not afraid. At worst, it’s just death, and I can take Nangong Xu with me."
"You’re right, it’s no big deal."
The two exchanged a smile, suddenly gaining more courage and confidence in the future.
