Their plan was meticulous, agreeing that if the ambush failed, they would retreat.
So their escape was swift.
"Yufei—" Ruan Tianling pushed Nangong Yi off Jian Yufei.
"Yufei, are you okay?!" He pulled her up, asking anxiously.
Jian Yufei shook her head, "I'm okay. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Was it Nangong Yi who saved me?"
Only then did Ruan Tianling shift his attention to Nangong Yi.
The castle remained in pitch darkness, with only shadows visible.
Jian Yufei bent down to help Nangong Yi up, "Where are you hurt?"
Ruan Tianling's eyesight was better than Jian Yufei's.
He circled to the other side to help him up.
In the outside light, he saw the handle of the dinner knife glowing white.
Jian Yufei saw it too.
She reached out and felt something wet.
"Ruan Tianling, we have to save him!" Jian Yufei said firmly.
Temporarily not speaking about the things Nangong Yi had done to them before.
