âNo! I will send my precious sister to someone who can protect her for the rest of her life, not this foolish son of the Zhang family!â Nalan Jing spat a mouthful of blood again. He wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth with his hand and said, âDaiâer, believe in me... No matter what, I will take you out today.â
Nalan Daiâer grasped Nalan Jingâs hand tightly as she stared into his determined eyes.
She believed that her brother would do what he had promised her.
âYou canât leave this place.â
Zhang Tianlei sneered, his eyes carrying a look of disdain.
Nalan Jing did not say another word as he rushed violently into the crowd.
Powerful forces emerged from his sword, but he did not attack those guards; instead, he fiercely smashed the dungeonâs gate.
Nalan Jing pulled Daiâer into his arms and swiftly rushed toward the broken gate.
The guards were stunned, but because Nalan Daiâer was in Nalan Jingâs arms, they did not dare to attack them too harshly. They were afraid that the young master would cry again if they accidentally hurt the little girl.
Seeing Nalan Jing rushing toward the gate, Zhang Tianleiâs eyes turned cold, and he finally made a move.
A powerful force blasted at Nalan Jingâs back, making him spurt a mouthful of blood again.
He turned to look at the group of people chasing behind him and turned to the beautiful little girl in his arms.
âDaiâer, I canât accompany you to find Ruqing. Go to her, and she will protect you.â
âBrother!â
Nalan Daiâer heart tightened, her face pale like snow. She held Nalan Jingâs sleeve tightly. âYou want to leave me alone?â
âDaiâer, Iâm sorry...â
Nalan Jingâs voice was tinged with regret.
âDaiâer and I... Only one can leave!â
âBrother!â
Nalan Daiâerâs tears flowed down her delicate face as she shook her head. âNo! I want to go with you.â
Nalan Jing smiled bitterly.
Unfortunately, there was no more chance...
The guards had already caught up to him, so he no longer had a chance to leave.
Nalan Jing whistled into the sky, and steeply, an eagle came flying from not far away. It was only an eagle with ordinary strength. Half a month ago, Daiâer happened to see this wounded eagle in the chief manorâs backyard.
From that time on, she went there every day and fed it with the spirit herbs given by Ruqing.
The people in the chief manor said she stole the spirit herbs and locked her up because she saved this eagle.
Nalan Jing used all his strength to throw Daiâer up into the sky.
The eagle quickly grabbed Daiâer with its claws and flew away without looking back.
âBrother!â
A heart-rending shout echoed through the sky.
Nalan Daiâer stretched out her hand, trying to grab Nalan Jing, but no matter how hard she tried, she could no longer grab him...
Despair, pain, and sorrow filled her heart... With endless grief...
Zhang Tianleiâs face changed dramatically. âI will bring that girl back. Guard, beat this kid up for me first!â
