Chapter 621: With Just You

Chapter 621: With Just You

In the astonished gazes of everyone.

The blade tip advanced another half inch.

Blood coated the blade.

Just as Yuwen Jing was about to step in to intervene, Helian Lin suddenly pulled back the knife, coldly sneering at the unruly young man: "Your strength is just this much. With just you, you're not fit to challenge me."

So arrogant!

The onlooking crowd was silent, but in their hearts, they marveled at his audacity.

But the man before them truly had the right to be this arrogant.

Before today, many had speculated on the outcome of their duel, but the majority still believed that Tuoba Xiao was the undefeated legend. They also thought that these two would surely compete for a long time before a winner could be determined.

But now, in less time than it takes to burn an incense stick, the former legend was shattered by this man. How could he not have the right to be arrogant!

And recalling the reason for their duel, they couldn't help but look towards Miss Shen, who had sparked the conflict between the two warriors.

At this moment, they were all confused.

Where is Miss Shen?

Where did she go?

Hearing the surrounding discussions, Yuwen Jing finally found a reason: "Stop fighting! Miss Shen is gone!"

Now everyone heard and started looking around for Shen Nan, but not only was Shen Nan not there, there wasn't even a trace of her.

So the two top fighters were fighting to the death for her, and she slipped away?

What kind of situation is this!

Helian Lin shot Tuoba Xiao one last cold look, then turned and left.

"General..." Tuoba Xiao's men rushed over to tend to his wounds.

But the young man abruptly pushed away the guards, clenching his teeth and glaring at Helian Lin's back: "Helian Lin, you wait for me. Do you think the Holy City belongs to you? Don't dream, I'll make you see clearly who she really belongs to!"

The only response was the man's figure leaving without a backward glance. Tuoba Xiao's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and he swiftly mounted his horse, heading towards the palace.

The people left behind, seeing no more excitement, chattered excitedly for a bit before scattering.

"Second Young Master, Shen Nan might have returned to the Bai family, should we go look for her?" A servant, seeing everyone had left, quickly asked Shen Yuanfeng.

Shen Yuanfeng nodded: "Go, now finding the Third Young Master is our top priority, we can't overlook even the slightest clue."

So the group returned to the Bai family.

And Su Youyue had just returned, the two parties meeting right there.

Seeing Shen Yuanfeng and Shen Zhuyu together, she understood their intentions.

"Shen Nan, where have you hidden Yuansong?" Shen Yuanfeng started with a very assertive tone, as if certain that Shen Nan was responsible.

Su Youyue wasn't about to fall for such an obvious trap, frowning and sneering: "Shen Yuansong is missing, what does that have to do with me? Do I usually have any dealings with your Shen family?"

"Stop pretending, you killed Meng Ziyu, and Shen Yuansong must be in your hands as well. Shen Nan, I advise you to hand over Shen Yuansong as soon as possible. Our Shen family might still plead with the Emperor to spare your life. Otherwise, can you bear the grave crime of kidnapping a pillar of the state?"

Shen Zhuyu's voice was unusually stern.

"Shen Yuansong is the only one who can possibly create divine weapons for our Dongrong. If you harm him, can you bear the crime of endangering the entire nation?"

Su Youyue shrugged: "It has nothing to do with me. Why should I bear such a charge? Stop trying to frame me. I had no grudge against Meng Ziyu, and we almost became a couple. Why would I kill him? As for Shen Yuansong, if you had said Shen Yuanyang or Shen Yuanzhen might come to me, I would admit it. But Shen Yuansong? I haven't even exchanged two words with him. Why would he come to me?"

Faced with her retort, Shen Yuanfeng and Shen Zhuyu were momentarily choked with anger but couldn't respond immediately.

Meng Ziyu and Shen Yuansong indeed rarely interacted with Shen Nan, seemingly without any grudge. Logically, she wouldn't seek trouble with them.

But these two went to her, and then something happened. Doesn't that explain something?

Shen Yuanfeng, sitting in his wheelchair, leaned slightly forward, his eyes piercing: "Shen Nan, stop pretending. Don't you find it ridiculous to pretend in front of us? We have solid evidence that Meng Ziyu and Shen Yuansong came to you last night, and then something happened."

"If you're determined to accuse me, why worry about the lack of evidence? Since you insist on blaming me and claim to have some fabricated evidence, then go report to the authorities. Why waste time here with me?"

Su Youyue slowly stood up, smiling lightly at them, her indifferent attitude making Shen Yuanfeng unconsciously grip the armrests of his wheelchair.

They couldn't report to the authorities, firstly because they had no solid evidence, and secondly, because Meng Ziyu and Shen Yuansong probably went to kill Shen Nan last night. If it came out, what good would it do for their families?

Moreover, this woman is now under the protection of Prince Bei and Helian Lin, and today she has Tuoba Xiao as well!

Why is it that this woman can always be so detestable!

He has never found any woman as repulsive as her in his life.

Shen Zhuyu also had a cold face: "Shen Nan, after all, everyone in the Shen family is your blood-related kin. How can you be so heartless and cold-blooded?"

As soon as she finished speaking, someone suddenly arrived outside. Seeing the scene inside, the person was stunned and quickly swallowed the words that were about to be spoken.

Seeing Jin'er coming, Su Youyue walked over and helped her in: "You girl, are you feeling better already, coming out like this?"

Under Zhe Jing's guidance, Jin'er had made rapid progress in learning the Dongrong language and could now understand seventy to eighty percent of it. Hearing this, she nodded.

Seeing Su Youyue change her attitude instantly, the Shen siblings' faces turned extremely unpleasant.

To treat a servant with such gentleness and concern, but to treat her blood-related kin like enemies.

She really can't tell good from bad.

When Jin'er looked at Shen Yuanfeng, there was a hint of hatred in her eyes.

Shen Yuanfeng also noticed but didn't care. He had broken a leg because of beating this dead girl, so she had no right to hate him.

But Su Youyue suddenly spoke up: "I forgot one thing, Shen Yuanfeng, you still owe my maid an apology."

The people from the Shen family were stunned, unable to believe their ears.

What, asking the second young master to apologize to a maid?

This is simply too humiliating!

Shen Yuanfeng's face was full of rage: "Shen Nan!"

What is she saying, asking him to apologize to a maid!

Does she want to die!
