Chapter 30 Give me one more chance, okay? Two updates
Upon hearing Zhuge Mingyue and Wan Qichen's summoning incantation, Tieyi Leiying also understood what they were doing. He completely went crazy and launched an attack on several people. He even dared to use his hard iron wings to contend with Ling Feiyang's long sword, no longer showing the same fear as before.
Several people stopped moving at this time, and it was even more difficult to avoid the attack of the Iron Winged Eagle. One eagle dived towards Wan Xi Chen with all its might, and Ling Fei Yang swung his sword out, according to the eagle's previous attacking method, at this moment it should immediately change direction and launch an attack on others, so Ling Fei Yang did not use his full strength in this sword, but left some spare energy to deal with the next attack.
But this time, he was wrong. Confronting Ling Feiyang's sword, the Thunder Eagle did not change direction again, but instead suddenly closed its wings and protected its body tightly, colliding with Ling Feiyang's long arrow with all its might. "Ding" The long sword and feathers collided, emitting a metallic ringing sound.
The body of the Thunder Eagle was blown away, and Ling Fei Yang's long sword was also knocked to one side by its full-force impact. Another Thunder Eagle seized this opportunity and suddenly charged towards Zhuge Ming Yue, its sharp beak emitting a cold, icy light that only steel could have.
The incantation of Zhuge Mingyue has come to an end, and it's about to be over. Seeing the Thunder Eagle flying towards him, the sharp long beak in his line of sight quickly enlarged, but Zhuge Mingyue's expression didn't change at all, and the voice of his incantation didn't tremble in the slightest.
Ling Feiyang's long sword was knocked askew, and it was too late to draw his sword again. What could he do? At this moment, he was shocked to see Xue Zihao flying forward, holding a longbow in front of Zhuge Mingyue. The sharp claws of the Thunder Eagle grasped Xue Zihao's longbow, and its steel beak fiercely attacked Xue Zihao, but Xue Zihao did not dodge or evade, and endured it with all his might. Instantly, a bloody hole was pecked out on his shoulder, and fresh blood flowed out profusely.
Xue Zihao's actions bought Zhuge Mingyue precious time. Her incantation was finished at this moment!
A faint, indistinct shadow flashed before his eyes, making him wonder if it was just an illusion born of excessive tension. But the two Thunder Eagles suddenly let out a mournful, long cry, as if struck by an invisible force, their bodies sent flying horizontally, even the iron wings that Ling Fei Yang's long sword couldn't cut through were blown off in large pieces, scattering and drifting like dandelion fluff in the wind.
A majestic and powerful snow leopard appeared before our eyes, its beautiful fur pattern like the mysterious and beautiful clouds in the sky.
Two iron-winged lightning eagles took a brief rest before diving down at several people once again.
On the ground, the wind leopard let out a loud roar towards the sky, its body suddenly shrinking, and with a powerful thrust of its four limbs, it transformed into a blurry shadow once again.
Who is the king of speed? When Lei Ying was again almost blown away by Feng Qing's Wind Leopard, this question had no suspense.
Wan Xi Zhen also completed the summoning, and the sturdy body of the Di Jia Shou was like a stone wall blocking several people's line of sight. Although compared to Lei Ying, the defensive power of the Di Jia Shou was undoubtedly much clumsier, but even Lei Ying's steel-like sharp beak couldn't break through its thick armor in a short period of time.
"Are you okay, Haozi?" Zhuge Mingyue hastily helped Xue Zihao sit down on the ground, tore open his clothes, and first cleaned his wound. Then she poured some ***, causing Xue Zihao to grit his teeth in pain. Only then did she start applying medicine. "It's antiseptic, it might hurt a bit. But it's to prevent infection. It's my own concoction of medicinal alcohol, don't worry." Zhuge Mingyue explained.
"It's nothing..." Xue Zihao's face was pale with pain, but he still shook his head lightly.
"Haozi, you can't have anything happen to you, what would I do if something happened to you?" Wan Xi Chen cried with a sad face.
"It's just a scratch, the rat is only flesh wound, didn't hurt the bone, let alone the vital part." Zhuge Mingyue swung her hand and slapped Wan Qi Chen's head.
"Oh, oh, great!" Wan Xi Chen's face immediately lit up with a smile.
At this moment, the mournful cry of the Thunderbird echoed again from the front. The Storm's body had somehow displayed auspicious cloud-like patterns, both Thunderbirds were seriously injured, wailing miserably in the sky, shaking and stumbling as they desperately flew away into the distance. No longer daring to engage with the Storm below, they fled in disarray!
Ling Fei Yang stared at Feng Bao in shock as he walked back elegantly. Had he just seen things, the auspicious cloud-like patterns on Feng Bao's body? Wan Qi Chen and Xue Zi Hao also stared at Feng Bao in shock, they had never seen a Wind Leopard with such strength before.
"Ling Fei Yang." Suddenly, Zhuge Mingyue spoke up calmly.
Ling Feiyang turned his head to look at Zhuge Mingyue with a serious face.
"Ling Feiyang, there are some things I must make clear. I'm very grateful that you saved me earlier. Háo Zi recklessly blocked my way and bought me time. He trusts me, and I'm willing to entrust my back to him, to entrust it to Páng Zi. And they're the same, willing to entrust their lives to me." Zhūgě Míngyuè said calmly, word by word, "I'm not saying you're bad. It's just that you and we are on different levels from the start. You're suited for a stronger summoner."
Ling Feiyang slightly opened his lips, his face changed color, wanting to say something, but Zhuge Mingyue raised her hand to stop him.
Wan Qi Chen's face also changed slightly, just before that, Ling Fei Yang had saved him, he wanted to help Ling Fei Yang speak, but every word of Zhuge Mingyue was so reasonable.
"Ling Feiyang, in fact, you and I are both clear about why you want to follow me and have me acknowledge you. It's because your pride was wounded for the first time when I rejected you. You've always been placed on a pedestal, thinking that no woman should refuse you or not acknowledge you. But I refused you, so you're not willing to accept it in your heart. Don't deny it, everything I said is true. You are indeed very strong, but I cannot entrust my back to you, nor can I fully trust you."
Zhu Ge Mingyue's face was calm at this moment, her eyes were clear and bright. "Ling Feiyang, I still want to say thank you. However, you're not suitable to be our companion. I can entrust my life to them, and they can also entrust their lives to me, but you won't."
Xue Zihao clenched his fists lightly, his eyes shining brightly as he stared fixedly at Zhuge Mingyue without moving his gaze.
"I owe you a favor, and I will definitely repay it." Zhuge Mingyue looked at Ling Feiyang's calm face and emphasized again, "You're not bad, but you're not suitable to be my guardian. With your Earth-level strength, you deserve a better summoner."
After finishing speaking calmly, Zhuge Mingyue lowered her head to look at Xue Zihao's wound, which had already stopped bleeding. Zhuge Mingyue quickly bandaged Xue Zihao's wound and secretly sighed in her heart that she indeed needed a guardian.
Ling Feiyang remained silent, only gazing at Zhuge Mingyue's calm and radiant face. His eyes were complex, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart. Unnoticed by anyone, the hand grasping the long sword was slightly trembling.
On the way back to Cang Feng City, everyone remained silent. Wan Xi Chen looked at Ling Fei Yang who was walking silently at the end and wanted to say something several times, but the words reached his lips and couldn't be spoken out.
After arriving at Cang Feng City, they sent Xue Zi Hao to the medical institute. The doctor examined him and was amazed that he had been treated properly at the time, and the medicine used was also very good. After prescribing some medicine, he reminded them of a few things before letting them leave.
Wan Qi Chen sent Xue Zi Hao back home, before leaving, he looked at Zhuge Mingyue and Ling Feiyang, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Ling Feiyang: "Ling Shao, thank you for saving me today." There were some words that he couldn't say out loud.
Ling Feiyang simply nodded lightly and didn't say a word.
Zhuge Mingyue and Wan Qichen, Xue Zihao greeted them, then turned to Ling Feiyang and said: "Ling Feiyang, I'll treat you to a meal." After that, he walked forward.
Ling Feiyang paused for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Zhuge Mingyue's hand. Zhuge Mingyue was taken aback and turned her head to meet Ling Feiyang's scorching gaze.
"Zhuge Mingyue, did you know? The first time I saw you, I thought you would never become a summoner, and it was impossible for you to summon a magical pet. But you did it. I lost a bet with Xingfeng, so I asked to be your guardian. I originally thought you would happily agree. But you didn't. At that time, I was indeed very disappointed. Just like you said, I had always been smooth sailing and never experienced setbacks. Yet, for the first time, I was rejected by you." Ling Feiyang's eyes sparkled at this moment, his face a unprecedented solemnity, "You're right, at first, I just wanted you to acknowledge me, my heart was just unwilling to accept it. But after today's events, I found that I actually envy the trust between you two. The kind of trust that can completely give one's back to others. I know that now, I'm not qualified to be your guardian, because from the start, I didn't trust you."
Zhuge Mingyue listened blankly to Ling Feiyang's words, and after finishing, she was about to speak when Ling Feiyang raised his hand to stop her, continuing to say.
"Zhuge Mingyue, I want you to give me a chance, the chance to be your companion, to stand by your side. I hope that one day, you can entrust your back to me without any reservations. I am the Earth Sword Saint, but I believe that you will grow up quickly, and so will your companions. Of course, I also hope that one day they can become my companions too, fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with full trust. Ling Feiyang's eyes were firm and determined at this moment."
"Why?" Zhuge Mingyue asked slowly, "Your talent, your strength, your background, you can find a better summoner." Zhuge Mingyue had no doubt that Ling Feiyang's talent would soon break through to the Earth Sword Master. Ling Feiyang was a true genius, although she herself didn't think so, but this time she relied on Rou Hou's power to quickly rise two levels in succession. And Ling Feiyang, at such a young age, was already an Earth Sword Master.
"I don't know why, I just can't put it into words. Maybe it's the way you stay calm in danger, or your complete trust in your companions, or the way you protect them... maybe you're the first girl to ever look at me like that." Ling Feiyang thought for a moment before suddenly breaking out laughing, "I want to understand you, I want to know more about you... I don't know how to put it either. In short, I want to be your guardian, your companion, someone you can entrust your back to without any reservations."
Ling Feiyang still remembered the words of Zhu Ge Mingyue clearly. A waste? Using it on them didn't feel like a waste to him. Zhu Ge Mingyue wouldn't understand just how much her words had shaken and moved Ling Feiyang.
Zhuge Mingyue was stunned, looking at the smile on the absolutely beautiful face in front of her. At this moment, Ling Feiyang's smile had lost its previous unruly charm, and it was the most pure smile.
"Give me one chance, can I?" Ling Feiyang asked with a smile.
"Good." Zhuge Mingyue came back to her senses and a smile also appeared on her face as she nodded lightly.
"But before that, shall we eat first?" Ling Feiyang covered his stomach, which growled at this moment.
Zhuge Mingyue was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing. At this time, her stomach also made an uncooperative rumbling sound.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Braised pork, my favorite. I love eating meat, every meal must have it."
"I also like eating meat..."
"Don't compete with me!"
Zhuge Mingyue did not know that the medicine she had sold had caused a huge stir. In Cangfeng City, someone was trying to find her and thought of all sorts of ways to do so.
