The world reincarnates, each time a new talent!

109: The last night, Ruan Xingzhu surrendered! (Seeking monthly tickets)“Madam Duan, rest assured, I will keep this secret in my heart and will never tell anyone.”

“Moreover, Brother Chun is now seriously injured and unconscious, on the verge of death. Do you really want to stand by and do nothing?”

“No matter what, he is your husband! Do you really want to watch Brother Chun die?”

“Are you truly going to murder your own husband?”

Ruan Xingzhu stood up and quickly said.

Dao Baifeng’s expression changed several times. Although Duan Zhengchun already knew everything, she truly couldn’t bring herself to kill Duan Zhengchun.

Saying that, she looked at Duan Yu and assured him, “Young Master Duan, please go with peace of mind. The princess and I will personally escort Brother Duan safely to Yanz塢.”

She only needed the identity of the princess, and that was enough.

“But…”

“I’m only killing you. You don’t need to bring up these other things.”

Ruan Xingzhu said through gritted teeth.

Ning Yuan showed a satisfied expression, “So how can my woman plead for another man? If you want me to save Duan Zhengchun, you can, but you must show your sincerity.”

Duan Yu slapped his thigh and looked at Dao Baifeng in surprise, “Mother, you are still the smartest. With Brother Murong family’s help, Father’s life will surely be saved.”

“Yu’er, you’re awake? Where are you hurt? Does it hurt?”

It was like a lamb entering a tiger’s den.

Duan Yu quickly walked over. Seeing Duan Zhengchun’s pale face, he looked anxious, “What should we do?”

“Alright, I agree to your request, but we must have a deadline.”

“Attacked by Duan Yanqing?”

“And I don’t need your life, only you. If you don’t accept, it seems the affection between you and Uncle Duan is as fragile as this thread of hemp, breaking with a gentle pull.”

Ruan Xingzhu said through gritted teeth.

Ruan Xingzhu quickly spoke.

Seeing Duan Zhengchun’s breath as faint as a wisp, as if he could die at any moment, Ruan Xingzhu painfully closed her eyes.

Hearing this, Duan Yu’s eyes immediately lit up.

As long as Dao Baifeng didn’t want Duan Yu to know, she wouldn’t kill herself, at least not in front of Duan Yu for now.

Ruan Xingzhu opened her mouth, then lowered her head, “I have heard of it.”

Hearing that the other party had no intention of silencing her, Ruan Xingzhu immediately looked up and asked.

Duan Yu quickly said.

“I knew Young Master Murong family would have a way. Please, Young Master Murong family, help us!”

Ruan Xingzhu was instantly speechless.

[Cultivation: Top-tier]

“What, Madam Ruan is unwilling?”

Dao Baifeng’s eyes flickered for a moment, then she suddenly said, “We can return to Yanz塢.”

Hearing that Duan Zhengchun’s injury might not last through the night, Ruan Xingzhu’s face immediately changed, showing anxiety.

Ruan Xingzhu couldn’t help but look at Dao Baifeng. After all, Dao Baifeng was Duan Zhengchun’s officially married wife, and furthermore, Dao Baifeng and Murong Fu had that kind of relationship.

“Mother, I’m fine. I just suffered some internal injuries and feel a bit stuffy. Oh, where is The Utterly Evil? Are you alright, Mother? And Father?”

She truly didn’t care whose son Duan Yu was.

Dao Baifeng snorted, her eyes filled with determination.

A Bi arrived outside the door and said.

Ruan Xingzhu’s expression immediately changed, and she couldn’t help but say, “But Duan Yu is your sworn brother, and Brother Duan is your sworn brother’s father. Are you really going to stand by and do nothing?”

It wasn’t just fear of rumors, but also a psychological hurdle she couldn’t overcome.

Dao Baifeng stared at Duan Yu, scolding him sternly.

Dao Baifeng’s eyes flickered slightly, with some suspicion in her heart, but now was not the time to ask.

“There are no ‘buts’. If you don’t go back, Duan Yanqing might harm your uncle and seize the throne. So you must return as soon as possible to prevent him from taking advantage, otherwise everything will be irreversible, and your father’s injuries will have been in vain.”

But Ning Yuan merely chuckled, looking at Ruan Xingzhu playfully, and said, “Madam Ruan, Duan Zhengchun is Madam Duan’s husband, so it should be he who seeks help. I wonder what identity Madam Ruan is using to ask for my help?”

But Dao Baifeng clearly wasn’t very keen on saving Duan Zhengchun.

“Mother, what are we waiting for? Let’s go back to Yanz塢 now.”

Ruan Xingzhu’s expression softened slightly upon hearing this, then she heard Dao Baifeng’s tone change, “But you must keep this matter a secret and not tell anyone, otherwise don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

“What if Duan Yanqing comes again then…”

“I don’t think you would dare.”

Hearing this, Duan Yu gritted his teeth and nodded. Then he handed Duan Zhengchun to Dao Baifeng, mounted his horse, “Mother, Aunt Ruan, please be careful on your way.”

But… “The True Qi of I Yang Finger!”

Duan Yu was still a bit hesitant, clearly not at ease.

Ruan Xingzhu’s face was resolute.

Ruan Xingzhu looked at Dao Baifeng, who at this moment dared not meet her gaze and directly turned her head away.

Ruan Xingzhu looked at Duan Zhengchun, then at Ning Yuan, struggling for a long time before finally speaking, “You, what do you want me to do?”

Ning Yuan showed a surprised expression upon hearing their narration.

After all, she already knew about the relationship between Dao Baifeng and Murong Fu. If they returned to Yanz塢, and Dao Baifeng had intentions to harm Duan Zhengchun, they wouldn’t be able to stop her.

Then she turned around and knelt before Ning Yuan.

After regaining his senses, Duan Yu quickly turned his head and asked.

Ruan Xingzhu looked at Dao Baifeng, worried, thinking, “I just hope Dao Baifeng still remembers a bit of their past marital affection and won’t harm Brother Duan.”

“Where can we find highly skilled martial artists now? Where can we find famous doctors?”

“Brother Duan is severely injured, and now only you can save him.”

“Otherwise, if news of your father’s serious injury spreads, it will inevitably cause unrest. Continue for another hundred li, and you will meet Ba Tianshi and others specifically sent to meet us. They will escort you back.”

After all, she was just Duan Zhengchun’s unacknowledged lover.

She was willing to give her life for Duan Zhengchun, so why would she begrudge her body?

Therefore, Ruan Xingzhu did not expose what happened between the two before.

Ruan Xingzhu’s hanging heart finally settled, and she immediately nodded, “Madam Dao, rest assured, I will not reveal a single word of this matter.”

But Duan Zhengchun did not answer, only closed his eyes tightly, coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, and his breathing became increasingly faint.

Just then, A Bi’s footsteps were heard, “Young Master, Madam Duan and the others are back.”

Dao Baifeng waved her hand, watching Duan Yu’s retreating figure, and let out a long sigh.

“Madam Duan, do you really not want to save Brother Duan?”

Madam Ruan, seeing Dao Baifeng’s expression, couldn’t help but feel anxious.

“A life for a life. To save one life, another must naturally be sacrificed. Madam Duan is now my woman, so she is naturally not included. Therefore, if Madam Ruan insists on saving Duan Zhengchun, then it depends on how determined you are.”

Ning Yuan came before Ruan Xingzhu, gently lifted Ruan Xingzhu’s chin, “My request is very simple. Like Madam Duan, become my woman, and I will help you save Duan Zhengchun’s life.”

Just as Dao Baifeng was about to approach Ruan Xingzhu, Duan Yu let out a sound of ‘ouch’.

[Current Identity: Murong Fu]

“Go.”

She also didn’t know how she would be treated now that she knew such a secret.

She was about to say something, but saw Dao Baifeng cast a warning glance, and at the same time said, “Madam Ruan, it’s not safe for you to travel alone. How about you come with me to escort my husband to Yanz塢?”

“Cough cough…”

“I have always been fair. If my second brother were here to ask me, I would naturally help. But since he is not here, that’s another matter. Madam Ruan, you should think carefully. I see Uncle Duan’s injury; if it drags on, I’m afraid he won’t last through tonight.”

She did not know martial arts, so if Dao Baifeng really wanted to kill her, she couldn’t resist.

Duan Yu picked up Duan Zhengchun, somewhat flustered.

And she had no son, so the throne of Dali had nothing to do with her.

“Don’t worry, his goal has been achieved, and he won’t come again. Moreover, it’s only a day’s journey from here to Yanz塢. If we leave now, we can arrive tonight. Once there, no one can harm us.”

Dao Baifeng’s face showed a complex expression, then she turned to Ruan Xingzhu, her eyes threatening.

Then she turned back to Ruan Xingzhu.

“What?”

“This…”

“I…”

Ruan Xingzhu, who was beside them, looked uneasy and frowned deeply, because once Duan Yu left, if Dao Baifeng wanted to kill her, there would probably be no one to stop her.”

Late night.

Watching the countdown on the attribute panel begin to flash red, Ning Yuan took a deep breath.

“Brother Duan’s limbs are broken, and he suffered internal injuries and is unconscious. I have no way. Such injuries, I’m afraid ordinary doctors can’t cure them. Only a highly skilled martial artist might be able to use their Qi to wake him.”

“For the sake of you not telling Yu’er about this, I can spare your life for now.”

“What?”

[Luck: 1100]

Dao Baifeng said with a serious face and an unquestionable tone.

Ruan Xingzhu looked desperate, hugging Duan Zhengchun tightly.

Of course, she could also tell Duan Yu the truth now, but Duan Yu was, after all, the other party’s biological son, and it was uncertain whose side he would take.

Facing Dao Baifeng’s inquiry and Duan Yu’s gaze, Ruan Xingzhu could only suppress her unease and force a smile, “Sister, if you say so, there’s no problem. Besides, as long as Brother Duan doesn’t wake up, I won’t feel at ease leaving.”

Duan Yu was a bit worried, showing hesitation.

Dao Baifeng quickly turned to look, only to see Duan Yu, who had fallen to the ground, slowly crawling up, shaking his head, and saying with a confused face, “Mother, are we dead?”

“Bring them in.”

Ruan Xingzhu, who was beside them, could no longer hold back and said, “Young Master Murong family, please save Brother Duan!”

For Duan Zhengchun, she was willing to sacrifice anything.

As soon as these words came out, Dao Baifeng’s face showed embarrassment.

[Departure Countdown: 1 day]

Ning Yuan’s eyes lit up, and he smiled, “It seems Duan Yanqing has succeeded.”

Ruan Xingzhu’s expression changed again and again, showing a look of struggle.

Ning Yuan took a deep breath and said calmly.

Ning Yuan sneered, “It seems Madam Ruan’s feelings for Uncle Duan are not as deep as imagined. The true expression of loving someone is being willing to give everything for them, including life.”

On one side was Duan Zhengchun’s life, and on the other was her having to give herself, to become… Ning Yuan only glanced once and confirmed Duan Zhengchun’s injuries, “Uncle Duan’s limbs are completely broken. I can’t cure that, and I can’t restore his bones. However, I can treat the internal injuries that caused his unconsciousness and help stabilize his condition.”

Yanz塢.

[World: demi-gods and semi-devils]

Ning Yuan’s gaze swept up and down Ruan Xingzhu’s body, causing Ruan Xingzhu to involuntarily tense up and feel nervous inside.

Her heart was now even more anxious.

Ning Yuan had a playful expression.

“That’s right!”

“Your father is injured and still unconscious.”

Logically speaking, killing her to silence her was also very possible.

[Current Talent: A Thousand Miles a Day (Not active)]

“Alright, I understand!”

She also didn’t know what Dao Baifeng’s intentions were.

[Martial Arts: Bei Ming Divine Skill, Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, Xiao Wu Xiang Skill, Six Meridian Divine Sword, Lingbo Microstep, Star Shift, Tianshan Six Yang Palm, Tianshan Plum Hand, Life and Death Talisman, Canhe Finger, Dog Beating Staff Technique, Sound Transmission Into Secret...]

However, Dao Baifeng turned around and said solemnly, “Yu’er, your father’s injury is a big deal, concerning the stability of our Dali. Madam Ruan and I can go to Yanz塢 by ourselves. You don’t need to go. You must return to Dali immediately.”

Fortunately, Ning Yuan spoke at this moment, “Madam Ruan, I presume you have already seen the relationship between Madam Duan and me, haven’t you?”

Ruan Xingzhu opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing Dao Baifeng’s gaze, she could only shut up, though a hint of worry remained in the depths of her eyes.

Anyway, Duan Zhengchun’s relationship with Dao Baifeng was already broken.

Ruan Xingzhu’s expression changed slightly, but before she could speak, Dao Baifeng’s eyes flickered a few times, then she said, “Don’t worry, if I wanted to kill you, I would have done so long ago.”

Dao Baifeng withdrew her long sword and said coldly.

“It’s the last day. Maybe when I wake up tomorrow, I won’t be here anymore.”

Ning Yuan said, directly pulling Dao Baifeng into his arms. Dao Baifeng’s cheeks immediately flushed red, showing shame.

Ruan Xingzhu immediately said happily.

Inside the guest room of Yanz塢.

But Dao Baifeng also didn’t want to commit regicide, her face showing struggle and hesitation… Ruan Xingzhu felt relieved seeing Duan Yu wake up. This meant that Dao Baifeng couldn’t kill her now, otherwise, if she fought to the death, Duan Yu would also know this secret.

Dao Baifeng sneered, then the two placed Duan Zhengchun in the carriage, turned around, and headed back.

Just then, Duan Zhengchun on the bed suddenly coughed a few times. Ruan Xingzhu quickly ran over, crouched down, and shouted in surprise, “Darling Duan, you’re awake?”

“What sincerity?”

Not long after.

Ruan Xingzhu took a step back, looking up at Ning Yuan in disbelief.

After all, Duan Zhengchun already knew about her affairs. If he returned to Dali, it might affect her son’s status.

Hearing Duan Yu’s voice, Dao Baifeng no longer bothered with Ruan Xingzhu and quickly went to Duan Yu’s side, asking anxiously.

But now, she had no reason to stop it.

And this was Duan Zhengchun’s only chance of survival.

But doing this would be unfair to Duan Zhengchun, a betrayal of Duan Zhengchun.

But to save Duan Zhengchun’s life, she had to make a choice.
