"Don't move!" Shen Lingyun had no time for tenderness at this moment. Frowning, he grabbed Hua Xue'er's arm and yanked her back forcefully. Immediately, Hua Xue'er felt a sharp pain. Tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her face. She lowered her head, speechless.
"Let her go!" Seeing the girl he loved suffering, Ning Yunqing was naturally heart - broken. He took a quick step forward, as if about to strike.
"Don't come any closer!" Shen Lingyun sneered. "Hua Xue'er is in my hands now. All of you watch carefully. If you make another move, I'll take her life. Now listen to me, Hua Yueye. Trade your life for your sister's."
All he wanted was for the annoying man Hua Yueye to die. As long as his goal was achieved, he didn't care about anything else.
"If I die, will you let Xue'er go?" Hua Yueye's gaze fell on Hua Xue'er. He frowned slightly, as if seriously pondering something.
Seeing this, Su Qingwen widened her eyes and couldn't help but step forward to stop him. "Hua Yueye, what are you thinking? You mustn't believe him. What he says is unreliable!"
"But, are we just going to watch Xue'er suffer?" Hua Yueye clenched his fists, his eyes showing a hint of helplessness.
"Your Majesty..." Ning Yunqing squinted his eyes. His heart was pounding like a drum. At that moment, he suddenly made a decision. He exchanged a glance with Hua Yueye. There was determination in his eyes. Then he quickly pushed Gao Quan aside, picked up a long arrow, aimed it directly at Shen Lingyun, and stabbed at Shen Lingyun's neck in a suicidal manner.
"Still trying to resist!" Shen Lingyun didn't take him seriously at all. He gently turned around and dodged Ning Yunqing's attack.
Unexpectedly, Hua Yueye used his light - footed skill and instantly moved in front of Shen Lingyun. He quickly pulled Hua Xue'er away.
"Ah?" Hua Xue'er didn't know what was going on. She felt her body being forcefully thrown out. She instinctively took a step back. Fortunately, Su Qingwen caught her. Otherwise, she would have fallen badly.
"Xue'er." Ning Yunqing was relieved to see that she was rescued and was about to run towards her.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps! He quickly looked back, and a sword had already pierced into his lower abdomen.
The cold pain hit him. The man opened his eyes wide and looked up, trying to see who was trying to kill him.
Gao Quan sneered, pulled the long sword out of his body, and said fiercely, "Ning Yunqing, you dared to play with me like this. I will never forgive you!"
"..." Ning Yunqing wanted to say something, but the pain in his abdomen was becoming more and more obvious. It seemed that all the strength in his body was flowing out from this wound. He lowered his head desperately, covering the wound. His hands were full of blood.
"Ning Yunqing!" Hua Xue'er called out his name sadly. Tears welled up like a spring. She ran towards the man without hesitation and caught Ning Yunqing's tottering body.
"Come on, arrest them all!" Hua Yueye didn't expect such a turn of events. His face suddenly changed, and he quickly gave the order.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Lingyun immediately fled from the roof. But Gao Quan was not so lucky. He was captured on the spot.
"Quickly find a doctor." Su Qingwen looked at Ning Yunqing's paper - pale face and his continuously bleeding wound. Her heart sank.
"Yes." The guard replied and immediately rushed off.
Ning Yunqing's body was trembling constantly. Blood gushed out of his mouth. Hua Xue'er looked at him, crying silently. After a while, she slowly said, "Ning Yunqing, I'm here. You must hold on, okay?"
"Princess..." Ning Yunqing tried to raise his hand with difficulty, as if he wanted to touch her face. But he was really out of strength, and the hand he just raised quickly dropped.
Seeing this, Hua Xue'er immediately took his hand and placed it on her cheek. "Ning Yunqing, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you before. I promise that from now on, I will treat you well and never bully you again. So, please, don't be in any danger, okay?"
Probably because she was too sad, Hua Xue'er couldn't help but lower her head and cover her chest, gasping for breath. For some reason, she had a feeling that Ning Yunqing was really going to leave her this time.
"Princess, thank you for saying this to me at this time. It's really a happy thing to have met you. I have no regrets in dying." Ning Yunqing felt it was a pity. The girl he loved finally understood his heart, but he was not long for this world. God was really playing a joke on him.
"Don't talk. The doctor will come soon. Then everything will be okay. Don't worry. You will be fine." Hua Xue'er seemed to have grown up a lot overnight. She held the man's palm, trying to give him strength in this way.
"Princess, after I'm gone, you will surely be happy. After all, you disliked me so much. Without me bothering you in the future, you will surely live a good life." Ning Yunqing gave a desolate smile and took one last look at the woman he loved deeply.
"No, it's not like that!" Hua Xue'er's voice suddenly rose a few tones. She bit her lip and said stubbornly, "Ning Yunqing, I don't dislike you. I was just disappointed in you. Do you know? I once had feelings for you. But at that time, you were with Gao Quan... I just felt unhappy."
Hua Xue'er's tears couldn't stop falling. Just as Ning Yunqing was about to leave, she suddenly realized that she had feelings for him, but she just hadn't noticed it before.
Otherwise, why would she feel heart - broken as if she were about to die when seeing him covered in blood?
Hearing this, a glint of light suddenly flashed in Ning Yunqing's eyes, but it quickly faded. This was good. He knew that the girl he loved had feelings for him. But he couldn't accompany her anymore. He felt his life force fading away.
"Princess, I love you. Without me, take good care of yourself." After saying this, a warm smile appeared on his face. He took one last look at Hua Xue'er, trying hard to imprint her appearance in his mind. Then Ning Yunqing tilted his head and died.
"Ning Yunqing." Seeing the man suddenly stop moving and stop breathing, Hua Xue'er widened her eyes. She called out his name in horror. "Wake up! How could you die just like that! It's so unfair!"
Didn't he say he loved her? How could he leave her behind?
