Chapter 394: Jealousy
Just when Lin Ziyu was in despair, a voice that haunted her suddenly sounded in the stone room.
"Fellow Daoist Lin?"
When Lin Ziyu heard the sound, she immediately raised her head and looked at the speaker, her eyes filled with disbelief. Then, the disbelief gradually turned into surprise.
"Fellow Daoist Duan!" Lin Ziyu's voice was trembling.
Seeing that Lin Ziyu's energy was intact as she spoke, Duan Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Without saying anything else, he raised his sword and cut off the black iron chain binding Lin Ziyu.
Lin Ziyu had been tied up for several days and was extremely weak. As soon as the chains were loosened, she immediately fell forward.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Duan Qing put away the Red Spirit Sword, caught Lin Ziyu, and held Lin Ziyu in his arms.
The surprise in Lin Ziyu's eyes was not gone, she looked at Duan Qing with tenderness, and murmured: "Fellow Daoist Duan! I'm not dreaming!"
After saying that, he put his hand on Duan Qing's cheek and felt the warm touch on his hand. He suddenly hugged Duan Qing with all his strength and burst into tears.
"It's really you, wuwuwu... Do you know how Ziyu has been here these days?"
Duan Qing let Lin Ziyu hold him to vent his emotions, looking a little embarrassed, but it was hard to push him away.
Lin Ziyu hugged Duan Qing and cried for a long time before she slowly regained her composure and asked Duan Qing: "Fellow Daoist Duan, why are you here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and let go of Duan Qing, looking very nervous. "Fellow Daoist Duan, leave quickly. Those two thieves will be back at any time. You are no match for them!"
Although she was in Liuyue City, she had seen Duan Qing kill the mid-level Wen Xingjing with one blow, and also led her to escape the pursuit of the late Wen Xingjing.
But the two thieves who captured her were cunning and cunning, and she was afraid that Duan Qing would suffer a loss against them!
In addition, he was fed cartilage pills by those two people, so he couldn't use his strength much, and he couldn't help Duan Qing at the moment.
That's why I wanted to leave as soon as possible and settle the score with those two later.
Hearing what Lin Ziyu said, Duan Qing couldn't help but feel completely relieved.
Even though the two of them were killed by him, he didn't know if they had any accomplices. Since Lin Ziyu said they were both, there must be no one else who arrested Lin Ziyu except those two.
"Those two people have been killed by Duan. Fellow Daoist Lin, there is no need to panic!" Duan Qing said calmly.
Lin Ziyu was stunned for a moment and looked at Duan Qing in surprise, only to realize that Duan Qing had already broken through the early stage of questioning state of mind!
Lin Ziyu couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised by this discovery, and felt completely relieved.
Duan Qing had such strength in his late stage of transformation, and had broken through the state of inquiry. It was no problem to deal with the two thieves. He said that those two people were dead, so they must have no chance of living.
Knowing that the two of them were dead, Lin Ziyu's tense nerves immediately relaxed.
After she relaxed, coupled with the exhaustion from being tortured by the two short and thin men in the past few days, Lin Ziyu could no longer hold on and fainted.
When Duan Qing saw this, he quickly caught Lin Ziyu and sighed in his heart when he saw his embarrassed appearance.
Even if you are a disciple of the Five Elements Sect, you cannot avoid suffering in this world.
Although he didn't know why Lin Ziyu was caught by the two short and thin men, he could foresee that if he hadn't come to Dream City and got rid of the two by chance, Lin Ziyu's end would have been extremely miserable!
Lin Ziyu fainted now. In view of the friendship between the two, he could not ignore her and had to plan to take Lin Ziyu back to the house first.
This place was only a mile or two away from the residence where he, Zuo Wanqiu and others lived. It didn't take long before they returned to the area where the residence was located.
Before he could reach the door, he happened to meet Zuo Wanqiu and Yu Fan who were returning from wandering.
Duan Qing glanced at the two of them lightly, not wanting to explain anything, and without saying a word, he hugged Lin Ziyu and walked towards the door of the house.
Zuo Wanqiu was obviously stunned when she saw this scene. Her eyes fell on Lin Ziyu in Duan Qing's arms, and she felt an unknown fire in her heart.
Okay, I asked you to go out for a walk and you refused, but you went out and brought a girl back with you!
"Duan Dao is so friendly!" Zuo Wanqiu's words were full of sourness.
Duan Qing turned a deaf ear and pretended not to hear.
Zuo Wanqiu became even more angry. She ran a few steps to the entrance of the courtyard and stopped Duan Qing.
"This place is rented by me, Hua Lingshi, and no one else is allowed in!" Zuo Wanqiu glanced at Lin Ziyu in Duan Qing's arms and said coldly.
Duan Qing frowned slightly. The inns in the city were all full. Lin Ziyu was in such a state that he could not be allowed to sleep on the street.
Zuo Wanqiu was so unreasonable and troublesome, which made Duan Qing feel a little annoyed, and shouted to Zuo Wanqiu: "Get out of the way!"
Hearing Duan Qing yelling at her, Zuo Wanqiu's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it.
This brat actually yelled at her for that chick!
She was filled with jealousy, turned her face away, and said angrily: "I won't let you go! What can you do to me?"
Duan Qing frowned even more tightly, but then he seemed to remember something, his brows relaxed, and he turned around and left without saying a word.
The short and thin man said before that he lived in the house next door. Now that he has been killed by him, the house next door is uninhabited at this time.
Zuo Wanqiu had to lose her temper and not let Lin Ziyu in. He agreed to send her back to Huangzhou, but he didn't want to fall out with her, so he had to take Lin Ziyu to rest next door.
Yu Fan, who was silent on the side, saw that the two people were getting more and more tense, so he quickly stepped forward and stopped Duan Qing.
"Fellow Daoist Duan, please wait!"
After saying that, he looked at Zuo Wanqiu and said, "This girl was seriously injured. Fellow Daoist Duan must have enthusiastically helped to save her. Fellow Daoist Duan is so kind-hearted, how can Fellow Daoist Zuo be so stingy!"
Zuo Wanqiu became a little more rational after hearing this. She was just angry that Duan Qing ignored her, and she was not really targeting Lin Ziyu.
If Duan Qing had said something nice and explained it a little, she would not have been so unreasonable.
The dead bald man was right. Her behavior did seem petty!
Thinking of this, Zuo Wanqiu said to Duan Qing: "This lady is just joking. Fellow Daoist Duan, don't take it seriously!"
As soon as the voice fell, she immediately stepped back two steps and stepped out of the door.
Duan Qing caught a glimpse of this scene, and after a moment of hesitation, he turned around and walked into the house with Lin Ziyu in his arms.
After all, he was a little worried about leaving Lin Ziyu alone next door.
If he stayed next door to take care of Lin Ziyu, he would have to separate from Zuo Wanqiu and others, and there might be some trouble.
It would be best if they could be together and take care of each other.
Duan Qing held Lin Ziyu and walked straight to the only empty room, put Lin Ziyu on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.
Yu Fan and Zuo Wanqiu were quite curious about the identity of the woman in Duan Qing's arms, and followed him into the room.
Zuo Wanqiu stood beside Duan Qing, looking at Lin Ziyu curiously and asked, "Who is this girl, Daoist Duan?"
From the look in Duan Qing's eyes when he looked at Lin Ziyu, she felt that Duan Qing and this woman seemed to be not just casual acquaintances, but had known each other for a long time.
"An old friend." Duan Qing said calmly.
An old friend!
Zuo Wanqiu's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately became alert.
