Ji You didn’t fight back, but he evaded very quickly while trying to analyze her figure. Her sword-holding hand was very slender, fair, and tender, very unlike a man’s hand.
“I don’t intend to be an enemy, I just want to be friends with you.” He was feeling more and more certain that the young man in front of him was a woman.
“No need!” Feng Tianlan said coldly and gathered the Water Spiritual Force back into the Ice Soul Sword, then tried to stab Ji You with it.
Ji You frowned and raised his bold eyebrows slightly. A sword appeared in his hand and he faced Feng Tianlan’s Ice Soul Sword. The two swords collided with a clang. His sword suddenly turned into powder, and his hand went numb from the impact. But, he didn’t evade at all and looked up at Feng Tianlan.
The Ice Soul Sword was about to pierce his neck, but upon seeing his mysterious dark eyes, Feng Tianlan moved her wrist slightly, tilted the Ice Soul Sword so it pierced his shoulders.
“Huh, huh!” Ji You snorted and his figure trembled, but his eyebrows didn’t furrow.
Feng Tianlan raised her eyes and looked at Ji You coldly as she asked, “Why didn’t you evade my attack?”
“I don’t intend to your enemy. I just want to be friends, so I won’t do anything to hurt you. Besides, you are really very similar to an acquaintance of mine. So I’m even more afraid of hurting you,” Ji You said in an unemotional tone.
Feng Tianlan looked at Ji You’s mysterious dark eyes, then looked at his shoulder that had been pierced by the Ice Soul Sword. She coldly withdrew the sword and blood suddenly gushed out.
Ji You snorted again and raised his hand to cover his injured shoulder, then he watched as Feng Tianlan turn around and left. Without even applying medicine, he followed her.
If she was the Lady Phoenix, then he, as Prime Minister of Tianfeng Nation, had an obligation to protect her. Even if he was injured, he should follow her and protect her.
Yu Jia was very puzzled by this. Was this the selfless, indifferent, merciless Prime Minister who didn’t even give His Majesty any face?
Why did she feel that she had just seen a different side to the prime minister?
Could it be…
Could it be that the prime minister was a homosexual, and he had fallen in love with that young man at first sight?
Thinking of this, Yu Jia’s eyes widened as if she had discovered something groundbreaking, and she followed them closely. No, the young man belonged to her. The Prime Minister wasn’t allowed to snatch him away.
Zheng Ping stood up from the ground with difficulty. Watching the three leave one after another, he coughed but didn’t follow them. He was going to inform General Zuo. They had to bring the Divine Sword back. That was Tianfeng Nation’s Divine Sword, it couldn’t fall into the hands of outsiders.
Feng Tianlan felt Ji You behind her the whole time, and he gradually began panting. She frowned and turn back to see him clutching his injured shoulder. His face was pale, but he still followed behind her resolutely.
“Why are you following me?” Feng Tianlan crossed her arms and asked Ji You coldly.
“This is the Earth Soul Pagoda, so it’s best to stick together. What’s more, if you hold onto the Ice Soul Sword, you will be too eye-catching. If you get any serious injuries, you will definitely be targeted. It’s too dangerous, so we should help one another,” Ji You said matter of factly. He hadn’t determined yet whether or not the young man in front of him was a girl.
However, just from the fact that the Ice Soul Sword was used by the young man, he wouldn’t do anything to hurt him and would only protect him—because the owner of the Ice Soul Sword was the Master of Tianfeng Nation.
Listening to Ji You’s words, Feng Tianlan frowned slightly. She always remained vigilant towards random gestures of goodwill and wouldn’t trust such people so easily.
