Zhao Huai also began to look panicked.
"So, what should we do? Yan Ruyu, although you're from the Feng family with your own mission, you should know that Xiao Ning'er is different from the Flame Emperor of ancient times. She will never do such bloodthirsty, cruel, and immoral things."
Yan Ruyu didn't say a word.
He concentrated.
And tried to sense where Zhao Shuning was.
Zhao Huai got anxious.
"Yan Ruyu, Xiao Ning'er has even given herself to you. You should know better than anyone how she treats you. Today, I don't care if she's the so - called evil star. As long as she still calls me 'brother', I will never allow anyone to hurt her."
Zhao Huai's eyes were firm.
Yan Ruyu looked towards the space.
There.
There was a faint sense of tearing.
A huge catastrophe.
It seemed.
Was about to come.
Yan Ruyu's ignoring obviously made Zhao Huai a bit dissatisfied.
He just thought his silly younger sister had loved the wrong person.
Yan Ruyu was a gentleman, a man who could give up everything for the common people in the world. The blood of the Feng family flowed in his body.
He was doomed.
To be Xiao Ning'er's nemesis.
His younger sister could love anyone, but she shouldn't have fallen in love with Yan Ruyu.
A man like this.
No one could guarantee when he would sacrifice you for the so - called righteousness of the world.
"Yan Ruyu, you can't treat Xiao Ning'er like this."
"Zhao Huai, if you really care about her, come with me and protect her well."
Zhao Huai was shocked.
He turned around.
And looked at Yan Ruyu.
With one hand.
He unbelievably grabbed Yan Ruyu who was walking forward.
"What did you say? What did you say?"
"I said, for this matter, consider it as me, Feng Buran, owing you a favor. In the future, even if you really want to stay on the Kyushu Continent, I will try my best to mediate for you. But please, this time, help me keep Xiao Ning'er safe."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Huai stammered.
"Do you think what Ning'er has to face is the divine punishment from our Feng family?"
Zhao Huai fell silent.
What else could it be?
"Right now, the ones we should be most on guard against are Ning'er herself and the countless so - called forces of the right path in this world."
"You mean? You never intended to hurt her?"
Yan Ruyu gently removed Zhao Huai's hand.
He said seriously, "In this world, the person I'm least likely to hurt is Ning'er."
This woman.
He had sworn to cherish with his life.
She had already met his parents.
She had already given herself to him.
He could feel all the efforts she had made for him.
"Then why are you in such a hurry?"
"What kind of character is Ning'er? Zhao Huai, you should also be clear. She suddenly became the evil star, which means her personality has also changed fundamentally. A huge amount of power should have surged into her body. I'm afraid she can't bear it, afraid she'll be swallowed by that power."
"Yan Ruyu—"
"Fortunately, I gave my life - saving lotus to Ning'er before. It was given to me by my father. It should be able to resist for a while. Zhao Huai, before, Mo Yan suddenly self - detonated. You should have noticed his expression. It wasn't his intention. His power suddenly became the same as that of an ordinary cultivator. You also felt the divine power before. You should be able to guess what this means."
"You mean?"
Zhao Huai thought of something.
Yan Ruyu nodded.
Except for this explanation.
There was no other way to explain this strange phenomenon.
"Why did the owner of that divine power choose Xiao Ning'er?"
Yan Ruyu looked into the mid - air.
His heart suddenly hung in the air.
He whispered, "Maybe, Ning'er did it on purpose."
"You mean, Ning'er led that evil power into her own body? Doesn't she know that this is like a moth flying into the fire, courting her own destruction? How could she bear such power alone?"
"Zhao Huai, you forgot. There's Mo Bai's power and Luo Qiu's power in Ning'er's body. How much spiritual power of ancient fierce beasts did Mo Bai absorb? Luo Qiu has lived for more than five hundred years. Moreover, at a certain moment before Ning'er disappeared, I even felt the power of hundreds, or even thousands of souls."
Zhao Huai wanted to interrupt.
But the next words from Yan Ruyu solved his doubts and blocked what he wanted to say.
"That soul power didn't come from Mo Yan's body. The soul power I felt before didn't have the slightest bit of resentment."
"You mean? Someone was actually willing to offer their own soul alive? This is impossible. A cultivator will become an ordinary person if they lose their spiritual root, but if they lose their soul, they will even lose their life."
Speaking of this.
Zhao Huai stopped.
He looked at Yan Ruyu in disbelief.
Yan Ruyu nodded.
It was indeed so.
Although.
He still hadn't figured out how Ning'er obtained this new soul power, he knew that Ning'er should have known that there was this mysterious power in her body.
So.
She dared to lead that evil power with divine power into her own body.
"Yan Ruyu, will Ning'er—?"
Did she make a terrible decision when she led that uncontrollable power into her body?
Thinking of this.
Zhao Huai felt a chill in his heart.
Recalling what Zhao Shuning had said to him before.
This time.
Zhao Huai's face turned deathly pale.
"Yan Ruyu— Xiao, Xiao Ning'er— Ning'er— she—"
Zhao Huai's teeth were chattering.
A very simple sentence.
But he couldn't say it completely at this moment.
"Zhao Huai? Do you know something?"
Zhao Huai desperately tried to calm his panicked mind.
His eyes when looking at Yan Ruyu were a bit evasive.
"I think, I think the previous Xiao Ning'er seemed to have anticipated this ending. When she talked to me before, I didn't notice. Now that I think about it, she seemed to be saying goodbye to me at that time—"
"Goodbye?"
Yan Ruyu's heart skipped a beat.
He suddenly remembered.
Before.
Ning'er had asked him.
Should the evil star die?
What if the evil star has no intention of harming others?
Is the evil star really unforgivable?
Now that he thought about it.
Ning'er's expression at that time.
Was indeed a bit strange.
Was it because she had activated the spiritual power barrier in her body and cut off the connection and perception between them that he didn't notice her abnormality at that time?
"Zhao Huai, no matter what happens, remember to keep Xiao Ning'er safe."
"Yan Ruyu, where are you going?"
"I'm going to find Ning'er."
He hoped.
Before he saw her.
This little girl.
Wouldn't do anything impulsive.
He could give up all this.
Fame was just something external to him.
What mission.
What common people.
He, Feng Buran, could give up everything.
