Chapter 389 Grievance

The two of them walked silently in the small city on the border of Yan Zhou.

Zhen Yue lowered her head without saying a word.

This was somewhat different from the lean and agile image she had left Xu Han before.

Xu Han was thinking about how to open the conversation between the two of them. After all, he had many questions he wanted to ask the woman in front of him. Of course, he knew that the other party also had a lot to say to him.

Only then did this thought arise, but Zhen Yue's voice sounded first.

"Thank you." The woman still lowered her head and spoke in an extremely gentle voice.

"Huh?" Xu Han was stunned. This was far from the conversation he had imagined.

Seemingly thinking that Xu Han did not understand what he meant, Zhen Yue hurriedly raised her head to look at Xu Hanyan and said, "Thank you for saving us in the antler plains."

Only then did Xu Han regain his senses and shake his head, "Do it according to your strength. Don't worry about it."

Naturally, these words were not polite. To Xu Han, what happened that day was indeed done according to the situation. If Liu Sheng was not around, he would not have done this for Zhen Yue and the others who had met by chance.

"Yes." Zhen Yue nodded her head, her pretty face seemed to have turned two unusual blushes under the street lights.

Xu Han's heart skipped a beat, and he could more or less tell what was wrong with Zhen Yue.

He frowned and decided to ask straightforwardly, "Liu Sheng didn't send you here to deliver a letter just for the sake of delivering it, right?"

Feeling the change in Xu Han's tone, Zhen Yue was slightly stunned. After a few breaths, her expression finally returned to normal. She raised her eyes to look at Xu Han and said in a deep voice, "He wants to see you."

"Huh?" Xu Han's eyebrows twitched at that moment, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

…

After that, Zhen Yue told Xu Han everything that happened to her after she left the antler plains.

Liu Sheng kept his word and sent Boss Gan back to Great Zhou, telling him not to do this business for a short period of time. However, Zhen Yue and the others were unable to return to Great Zhou. Fortunately, the Dark Asura Palace forces of Great Xia Branch were mostly under Liu Sheng's control. Although they could not completely erase the traces of a few people like Ghost Subhuti, it was enough to ensure their safety.

However, such a day came to an end about half a month ago.

The two yama, including ghost Subhuti, came to Great Xia and took over Senluo's authority in Great Xia from Liu Sheng. Zhen Yue did not know much about the specific situation, but it seemed that Liu Sheng's personal freedom had been restricted because of this, and the news that Xu Han and the others wanted Senluo to buy Fang Ziyu spread to Great Xia's headquarters. Liu Sheng read out the scent from Boss Gan's name left behind by Xu Han, so he sent Zhen Yue and the others to deliver the news.

"Where is he?" Hearing Liu Sheng's situation, Xu Han was naturally obliged to ask.

"Horizontal Imperial City." Zhen Yue said. "He said that he wanted me to bring you to Horizontal Imperial City, so he would naturally find a way to contact you."

"Yes." Xu Han nodded. From the looks of it, Liu Sheng's situation was not optimistic either. They were also heading to Heng Imperial City to wait for the Swordsman's Conference to begin in March. There was no conflict. Thinking of this, Xu Han looked up at Zhen Yueyan beside him and said, "Then follow me."

The woman's face lit up when she heard this, but before the joy could spread, Xu Han's cold voice sounded again.

"But you'd better put away those thoughts."

"I don't like it."

After saying that, Xu Han turned around and left, not looking at the gradually frozen expression on the woman's face.

…

"Boss, did that brat do anything to you?" After Xu Han's figure left, the Four Great Diamonds hurriedly surrounded him and asked with concern.

His gaze didn't forget to look up and down at Zhen Yue, as if he was looking for some evidence of Xu Han's evil intentions.

Zhen Yue rolled her eyes at the four of them and shook her head unkindly. Then he seemed to recall something and asked, "Are you following me?"

The faces of the four immediately changed. Hu Ma was the most alert. At that time, he hurriedly explained, "Boss, we were also worried that that brat would plot against you. We secretly followed just in case."

At this moment, the other three people also reacted and nodded in agreement.

However, he did not expect that this kind of behavior would attract Zhen Yue's eyes again.

"Protect me? What abilities do you have? If you really have something, what are you going to use to protect me?"

This question instantly left the four strong men dumbfounded.

"But even if we are not a match for that kid, we will definitely not let him bully our boss unless he tramples on our corpses," they said somewhat unconvincingly.

The righteous indignation in their voices and the decisive expression on their faces caused Zhen Yue, who was still angry, to be stunned. Her heart inexplicably softened, and her expression immediately became lonely.

"Actually… I hope that he wants to do something to me…"

"What?" The four burly men's expressions immediately changed when they said this.

"Could it be" Hu Ma widened his eyes.

'"Boss, you" Lu Yashan's mouth widened.

Wei Chen stretched his neck.

"That kid?" Shi Yucheng's face was filled with fear.

The four of them played with each other like treasures, causing Zhen Yue, who was originally full of worry, to immediately reveal a bitter smile, and she fiercely rolled her eyes at them.

"The power of Dark Asura Palace has already spread to Great Xia … and with Liu Sheng's loss of power, it is very likely that we will be put on the hunt list again …" She patiently explained to her four well-developed and simple-minded subordinates.

"Boss wants to use the beauty trap to find a backer?" Although it was true that their limbs were well developed, the crowd was still far from being stupid. Hearing this, they instantly came to an enlightenment. "But even though that brat's abilities are a bit better than ours…"

Perhaps it was because of his lack of confidence, Hu Ma's voice was a little softer. After confirming that Zhen Yue had no intentions of arguing with him, he said, "But if you want to fight against Dark Asura Palace, I'm afraid …"

The nearby Lu Yashan did not wait for Hu Ma to finish his sentence and interrupted him. He pointed at his head and said, "You elm head! Didn't you hear what he called that ghost Subhuti that day? Second Mother!"

"Also, the old man beside him has obviously made Gui Puti fear him. Do you think he has the ability to protect us?"

Hu Ma, who was choked by Lu Yashan, was about to retaliate when Wei Chen lowered his head and said, "But even so, we can't let Boss humiliate us for our own safety."

After saying this, the three people on the side finally came to their senses.

"That's right, boss. We agreed to share the blessings and hardships. Killing people is only the first step. Even if our brothers die, we can't watch you fall into the tiger's trap. You might as well kill us!" Hu Ma shouted.

Such remarks surprisingly attracted the approval of the other three, and even Lu Yashan, who he had never been able to deal with, nodded repeatedly at that time.

However, Zhen Yue shook her head.

The woman with a neat black ponytail muttered to herself as she looked in the direction where Xu Han had left.

"After fighting for so many years… I'm already tired…"

"I did it for you, but also for myself."

"Besides…"

At this point, the woman paused. Her black pupils suddenly lit up, and the scene of the youth walking up with three thousand sword shadows in his hand once again appeared in his mind.

The corner of her mouth suddenly curled into a smile as she muttered in a voice that only he could hear clearly.

"Besides, I don't feel wronged…"
