Chapter 123 Little Gardenia, Come Quickly
Chapter 123 Little Gardenia, Come Quickly
As he approached the ring, he seemed to remember something and stroked his earlobe, taking off his hood and pulling off his earrings.
The pretty face was instantly reflected in Nan Yingzhi's eyes.
She suddenly realized that this strange man was actually Lou Yi.
Just as he was about to step forward, Lou Yi's attention was suddenly attracted by the scene above, where Yang Ling was being brutally beaten unilaterally.
He stopped and admired Dugu Yue's agile posture with interest.
Even though he had no martial arts foundation, seeing Yang Ling nearly being pinned down many times, Yun Ting understood that Yang Ling was at a disadvantage.
His hope of impressing everyone with Yang Ling's skills and getting engaged to the princess in public was completely shattered. He stared at Dugu Yue, extremely anxious.
Where did this man in green come from?
How come he looks so thin but is so strong!
If this continues, Yun Yan will have to be handed over to him!
If it wasn't for the martial arts competition to win a bride, and he had personally given the nod, it would have been too guilty to call a halt at this moment. Yun Ting really wanted to order people to kick the man in green off the stage immediately.
He struggled to maintain his sanity and thought about how to break the impasse, but was shocked to find that at this point, the only person he could compete with the man in green was Jin An.
But if Jin An is allowed to take the stage and stand till the end, it is almost certain. In this case, doesn't Jin An have to marry Yun Yan?
Although no one in Jin'an is unworthy of Yun Yan in terms of family background and appearance, and letting him marry Yun Yan can be considered as keeping the wealth within the family, Yun Ting feels a little strange.
My chest feels stuffy and I can’t breathe, as if I’m reluctant to leave.
He gritted his teeth, stood up, and said he was going to the bathroom, but in fact he asked Gao Shu to secretly summon Jin An in the dark.
He had been hiding nearby, observing the situation all the time. Jin'an arrived incredibly quickly after receiving the order.
Relying on the loud noise from the ring, he pouted and whistled at Yun Ting, playfully but a little out of tune.
"If you have something to do, Zhong Wuyan, if you have nothing to do, Xia Yingchun. Your Majesty is looking for me, so he must have something for me to do."
Yun Ting was embarrassed by his words. He was speechless for a moment, but finally admitted: "Indeed."
Without wasting any time, Jin An got straight to the point: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Taking a deep breath, Yun Ting spoke the words he had prepared long ago: "I want you to knock down the man in green on the stage."
After closely observing Dugu Yue's martial arts development, Jin An was sure that he had a 70% chance of winning. He nodded, "Okay."
Fearing that Jin An would investigate further, Yun Ting pursed his lips and said, "Then go quickly."
Jin An took a few steps and suddenly froze as if under a spell.
He turned his head, a trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes: "Your Majesty, are you serious about letting me get on the ring?"
Seeing Jin An noticed something, Yun Ting's heart skipped a beat. He tried his best to calm down and asked as if nothing had happened: "What's wrong?"
Jin An stared at him closely: "Since you arranged for me to go up, you want me to defeat the others and stay until the end, right?"
The scene of Jin An courting him emerged in Yun Ting's mind, and he felt a little bitter. He swallowed his saliva, and his voice was still dry: "Yes."
Jin An clenched his fists: "But in this case, I will become the princess's consort, right?"
When questioned, Yun Ting was speechless.
He frowned, his eyes dodging: "It's indeed not appropriate to arrange you to go up there, but I can't think of a better way. If it really doesn't work, you can just marry her. It won't be considered a disgrace to your family..."
"Yun Ting," Jin An interrupted Yun Ting's words and spoke slowly, "I care about you, but what do you think of me?"
After a long silence, Yun Ting said in a low voice: "I understand that I am sorry for you in this matter, but is now the time to dwell on this? The most important thing is that Yun Yan must not fall into the hands of others!"
"I understand," Jin An said with emotion, "No wonder you wanted to keep Yang Ling and sent him to the field. It turns out that you arranged him here. So, if he can't do it, you want me to go?"
Yun Ting closed his eyes and ignored his sighs: "No matter what, you have to beat that guy down first, then we can talk."
"'Knock that guy down first, then talk'?" Jin An took a few steps forward, and his breath sprayed on Yun Ting's face, "I have someone in my heart, don't you know?"
Unlike usual days when he would get angry when he got close to him, Yun Ting did not move at all, his eyes full of sadness: "You don't even listen to me?"
"Please make it clear. In your heart, I am just a tool that you can summon and dismiss at will?" Jin An went further. "In a place where there are only you and me, you also want me to come and go?"
Not knowing that Yun Ting was pretending to go to the bathroom in order to contact Jin An, Yun Ji was secretly delighted when he saw Yun Ting leave the table and take Gao Shu with him.
Yun Ting is not in the way, and Yun Yan is the only one who can help. Now the chance for him and Nan Yingzhi to be alone has come!
He was so excited that he almost blurted out "Xiao Zhizi, come here soon."
After all, there were still the guards left by Yun Ting watching him, so Yun Ji didn't dare to be too blatant.
He claimed that he needed to go to the toilet and only needed Lan Fu to accompany him, and asked the guards not to follow him. As he stood up, he kept giving Nan Yingzhi hints.
Originally, Yun Yan thought that as a woman too, she could go with them and take care of them. But when she saw their eye contact, she immediately realized that she shouldn't disturb them rashly.
Receiving Yun Ji's blazing gaze, Nan Yingzhi stood up slowly and said goodbye to Yun Yan: "Yun Yan, I have some things that I haven't dealt with yet. I'm sorry to be away for a moment."
"It's okay. Yan'er is alone. With your majesty's guards accompanying her, she can handle it." Seeing that they were about to leave at the same time, Yun Yan cooperated vigorously, "Royal brother, go and get busy."
Seeing that Yun Yan deliberately left guards behind to cover for them, Nan Yingzhi felt that Yun Yan was "a teachable child". She nodded and walked out.
There was a crowd of people outside, and Yun Ji took advantage of the crowd to pull Nan Yingzhi into Ruyifang.
Nan Yingzhi looked around and found that the number of people sitting down to rest and paying attention to the situation outside was several times greater than the number of people standing outside stupidly.
Fearing that she and Yun Ji would be exposed in the crowd, she leaned close to Yun Ji's ear and said, "There are too many people here. Should we go somewhere with fewer people?"
Feeling the hot breath from Nan Yingzhi, Yun Ji's ears turned red instantly.
He moved his slender fingers slowly upwards, trying to cover the skin that was about to bleed.
Compared to the shyness on his face, his words surprised Nan Yingzhi even more.
