Chapter 48 Night Strike
Chapter 48 Night Strike
Xiang Zhanxiong's actions not only touched all the clansmen who had just returned, but also made them feel like they were truly returning. They were not excluded by Xiang Zhanxiong, but were sincerely accepted as relatives.
"Little brother Nan, it's all thanks to you." At this moment, Xiang Zhonghua and several other sisters of the same age were relieved of their grievances towards Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan smiled and said, "They are all family members. You're welcome."
Miss Ruyan walked down and said to Xiang Nan, "Young Master Xiang, I have something to say. Shall we talk outside?"
"Alright." Xiang Nan nodded and went out with Miss Ruyan and Little Yu'er.
Outside the door, Ruyan stared at Xiang Nan's eyes with a faint smile, but did not say a word.
Xiang Nan felt that although her eyes contained a smile, that smile made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"Miss Ruyan, if you have anything to say, just say it." Xiang Nan said awkwardly.
Ruyan took a deep look at Xiang Nan and said, "I heard that you are engaged to the Qian family's daughter."
Xiang Nan was stunned and smiled bitterly, "It's just a misunderstanding. I don't even know the Qian Clan's daughter."
"Oh, I see." Ruyan's smile did not change, but her tone seemed to relax.
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew in the sky! Pairs of giant wings blotted out the sky and covered the sun!
Hearing the howling wind, the Xiang family members in the reception hall, including the City Lord, rushed out together.
Everyone looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was dark. Pairs of giant black wings appeared extremely shocking under the night sky!
"A flying demonic beast!" The City Lord's pupils contracted.
Those were enormous flying demonic beasts. They slowly descended from the high clouds. Some of the flying demonic beasts even snapped their noses and spat out surging flames from their mouths and noses.
It was as if the black clouds had been burned.
More than a dozen flying demonic beasts stopped in midair. Each of those demonic beasts had terrifying and shocking faces, and each of them possessed a demonic aura that covered the sky and the sun! It was actually comparable to a late Heavenly Yuan Realm expert.
"Hiss" Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air!
Where did these flying demonic beasts come from? If they wreaked havoc together, they would definitely be able to destroy the entire Blue Stone City within an hour.
"Miss, it's time." Old Master Duan said respectfully from the side.
A touch of sadness flashed through Ruyan's eyes. She forced a smile on everyone's faces and said, "Everyone, don't panic. It's my clansmen who came to pick me up."
When Xiang Nan heard this, he sighed and said, "Are we leaving now?"
Ruyan's eyes turned red as she cupped her fists at Xiang Nan and said, "Young Master Xiang, there must be a separation between us."
"It's just … it's just that today's farewell, the mountain is far away. I wonder when we'll meet again."
"Young Master will participate in the city selection in ten days. At that time, he will definitely be chosen by the Martial Arts Sect and leave Bluestone City."
"In this way, the day of meeting is even more distant. The heavens and the earth are vast …"
At this point, Ruyan choked up.
Xiang Nan wanted to open his mouth, but was interrupted by Ruyan.
Miss Ruyan continued, "Ruyan is here. I wish Young Master Xiang great success and a bright future!"
Xiang Nan's heart was also extremely sad, but he insisted with a brilliant smile, "Miss Ruyan, I also wish you a good reward. From now on, you will definitely enjoy the good fortune."
"I hope that you will go all the way …"
Before Xiang Nan could spit out the word "good", Ruyan used two white onion fingers to cover her mouth.
Ruyan looked deeply into Xiang Nan's eyes and said softly, "Don't say goodbye."
After saying that, Ruyan smiled with tears and took off her veil. She moved her head and lightly kissed the finger across Xiang Nan's mouth.
After this kiss, Miss Ruyan's cheeks flushed red. She pulled back her fingers and pulled Little Yu'er into a beam of bright light that shot straight into the sky!
In the sky, Little Yu'er's silvery laughter could be heard.
"Brother Xiang Nan, you still owe me ten sweet fruits."
Xiang Nan stopped on the spot for a long time. Seeing the huge fleet of flying demonic beasts ascend into the clouds, his heart was filled with emotions, unable to say what it felt like.
Behind him, the City Lord patted Xiang Nan on the shoulder and said, "We're already far away."
Xiang Nan turned around and smiled at the crowd. "Everyone, come back. I'll be alone."
After leaving the Xiang Clan, Xiang Nan returned to the manor that Ruyan had given him.
It was still the same night and the same beautiful scenery, but today, Xiang Nan was once again alone.
The betrayal of his beloved woman in his previous life caused Xiang Nan to lose all confidence in things like love. It could even be said that he was on high alert.
He no longer believed in love at all, and he only felt endless gratitude towards Miss Ruyan in his heart.
He drank alone in front of the moonlight.
The night gradually darkened, and the wind gradually cooled.
However, the intense sadness in Xiang Nan's heart gradually faded. He picked up his glass and said to himself, "If I could go further and become stronger on the path of martial arts."
"Then, I will definitely meet Miss Ruyan again one day."
As he spoke, Xiang Nan raised his glass to Yue Gao and said, "Miss Ruyan, thank you for taking care of me during this period of time in Blue Rock City."
"Here, you help me with everything. In the future, I, Xiang Nan, will definitely go through fire and water for you!"
In the woods, the Wind Chasing Colt snapped twice.
After returning to the Xiang manor, it was already dawn, and Xiang Nan fell asleep. He had been cultivating hard for days, and he rarely had time to rest.
He didn't feel tired during the excited days of cultivation, but now, he was completely relaxed, and his sleepiness instantly engulfed him.
This sleep lasted from before dawn until night. When he woke up, there was a full moon hanging in the sky.
"I can't believe I've been asleep for so long." Xiang Nan stretched.
"Right, I've only been focusing on my own cultivation these past few days. I've forgotten how my grandfather's martial dao bottlenecks are. Let's go and see him."
He simply cleaned up and pushed the door open.
The moonlight fell on the small courtyard. A few simple flowers and plants, a small tree, were quite artistic.
At this moment, Xiang Nan's mood was very relaxed. He recalled that many things had really happened between Miss Ruyan's appearance and her departure.
Xiang Nan smiled sincerely and walked towards the arch of the courtyard.
Right at this moment, a great sense of danger caused Xiang Nan's heart to pound!
It was an invisible killing intent that enveloped Xiang Nan, causing Xiang Nan to feel an unprecedented crisis of death.
Xiang Nan didn't even think about it and subconsciously used the Shadow Steps.
The powerful Flash Shadow Steps caused him to turn into an afterimage and retreat in the blink of an eye.
Almost at the same time as Xiang Nan retreated, an extremely sharp sword light suddenly came from the pitch-black night sky.
Even though Xiang Nan dodged very quickly, the sword light still touched Xiang Nan's chest and brushed past him with extreme danger.
