They are really not NPCs, please stop it, lady.

Given Jun Xuanyuan's hatred for herself, Gu Nian found it hard to believe that he would not take harsh measures against others.

If that is the case, then even if Jun Xuanyuan has a relationship with Fairy Yunmeng, Gu Nian will not hold back on him anymore.

Just like Su Qingge has always been protective of Gu Nian, Gu Nian actually also protects the people around him.

Although there are a lot of people around her, as long as they are people that Gu Nian approves of, she will not allow them to be hurt by others.

Not even a little bit of harm is acceptable.

According to Gu Nian's calculations, although it would be easy for him to defeat Jun Xuanyuan, others might not be Jun Xuanyuan's opponents.

No matter who it is, as long as they meet Jun Xuanyuan, there is a high possibility that they will lose to Jun Xuanyuan in the end, or even be injured by Jun Xuanyuan.

Given Gu Nian's protective nature, if one of his people was really hurt by Jun Xuanyuan, then Jun Xuanyuan would be in big trouble.

No matter what, Gu Nian will not let Jun Xuanyuan go.

And because there are so many people from Gu Nian's side coming in this time, the possibility of meeting them is quite high.

In Gu Nian's opinion, it would be better for him to meet Jun Xuanyuan at the beginning and deal with Jun Xuanyuan.

This is to protect both one's own people and Jun Xuanyuan.

If it weren't for Fairy Yunmeng, Gu Nian would not bother to care about Jun Xuanyuan, but after all, Fairy Yunmeng has become one of his own now, so Gu Nian naturally has to give Fairy Yunmeng some face.

Of course, what is more important is to protect the people around you.

I wonder who Jun Xuanyuan is facing now?

I hope it’s not one of Feixuan and Aunt Gong.

As for why it wasn’t Ye Cangxue?

Just because Gu Nian is facing Ye Cangxue...

Looking at Ye Cangxue who was a little surprised in front of him, Gu Nian was a little puzzled.

"Sister Ye, we've already had our internal conflict, why do I feel like you're so happy?"

Seeing that the smile on Ye Cangxue's lips was almost unable to be suppressed, this was very inconsistent with her cold personality in front of outsiders.

No matter who you are, you can see that she is very happy.

Looking at her like this, Gu Nian couldn't help but wonder if he had offended her at some point.

Could it be that Sister Ye has actually been wanting to beat me up for a long time?

I can't understand it at all!

"Of course I'm happy."

Ye Cangxue said as a matter of course.

"Isn't it a good thing that you can fight with me and lose to me?"

Even before the battle started, Ye Cangxue was almost certain that he would lose to Gu Nian.

Although when she first met Gu Nian, Gu Nian's strength was far inferior to hers, after all, Gu Nian had not started practicing at that time.

even.

When Gu Nian's cultivation reached the Golden Core Realm, he was still some distance away from her.

But after all, Gu Nian had little combat experience at that time, and even his swordsmanship was not very advanced.

But now, Gu Nian is completely different.

One adventure after another, coupled with one battle after another, has already enabled Gu Nian's strength to be comprehensively and thoroughly improved.

It is absolutely no problem to say that Gu Nian is the number one person in the world today, not only because of her cultivation, but also because of her combat effectiveness at the same level.

Even though Ye Cangxue had been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, he didn't think he would be a match for Gu Nian.

"Little brother, I have always protected you, even though I couldn't do anything for you."

Ye Cangxue smiled apologetically.

"But I know that ever since your cultivation surpassed mine, you have always been the one protecting me."

"Although I can accept it, I still feel a little unwilling..."

After all, my sword exists to protect you.

If you don't need my protection anymore, then what's the point of my sword?

For some time before, Ye Cangxue couldn't figure it out.

But recently, she finally woke up.

Since I can't protect you, I'll stay by your side and be your sharpest sword.

As long as you can help me, it doesn’t matter whether I protect you or you protect me, right?

and so.

"I want to see the true strength of this little brother and whether I can trust you with my safety."

"So, little brother, use all your strength and fight me."

While talking.

Ye Cangxue had already drawn out the Heavenly Sword, holding it in his hand, and pretending to attack.

See this.

Gu Nian's expression also became serious.

"Okay, since Sister Ye has said so, then there is no reason for me to refuse."

The moment Gu Nian finished speaking.

Ye Cangxue decisively gave up his talent.

In an instant, fluttering snowflakes fell from the sky. They looked like snowflakes, but each snowflake was actually a sword energy.

Countless tiny sword energies instantly enveloped the area where the two men were fighting.

As the breeze passed by, the sword energy swept towards Gu Nian, like a tornado composed of sword energy, extremely powerful.

In this regard.

Gu Nian just used one move.

Draw your sword!

With a strike of the sword, fire surged out. The scorching flames were like the nemesis of these snowflakes, and they all melted in an instant.

immediately.

The flames still did not stop and swept straight towards Ye Cangxue, as if they wanted to burn Ye Cangxue to ashes.

Gu Nian did not hold back at all when he struck this sword.

Since Ye Cangxue asked Gu Nian to use his full strength, then Gu Nian naturally had to use his full strength, otherwise it would be disrespectful to Ye Cangxue.

Gu Nian knew Ye Cangxue very well. Her words were never polite. If she said she would fight with all her strength, she meant it and would not let up even a little.

As for hurting Ye Cangxue?

Gu Nian was not worried at all.

After all, it was his own sword energy. Although it was slashed out, Gu Nian was still able to control it.

As long as Gu Nian wanted the sword energy to dissipate, it would dissipate instantly and would not hurt anyone at all.

Facing Gu Nian's powerful sword, Ye Cangxue frowned slightly and his expression became much more serious.

She slashed out several times quickly, and the cold air on the sword drove back the flames, giving her time to catch her breath.

But before Ye Cangxue could fight back.

Gu Nian passed through the flames and appeared in front of Ye Cangxue like a ghost, with the long sword in his hand placed on Ye Cangxue's neck.

"Sister Ye, I won."

Gu Nian said with a smile.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a big gap between you and me?"

Looking at the long sword in front of him, Ye Cangxue smiled helplessly.

She was of course a little disappointed after losing to Gu Nian so easily, but she was more happy, happy for her man.

It turns out that the men in my family are so strong.

Until this moment, she could still remember the time when she and Gu Nian had just met.

At that time, Gu Nian was still very weak and needed my teaching and protection.

When she just returned to the Su family, the Su family found fault with Gu Nian, and she helped deal with it.

Although it was Gu Nian who protected her later, it was indeed she who took action at that time.

But now... he actually lost to Gu Nian so easily.

Life is so unpredictable. Time flies by so quickly. The time when she protected her man is still vivid in her mind, as if it were yesterday. She only feels that it was not long ago...

No, it’s not a feeling, this happened not long ago!

After blinking, Ye Cangxue suddenly reacted, then shook his head and laughed.

From the time she met Gu Nian until now, it has only been about a year, right?

It's just that they experienced too many things in this year, and they were too eventful. It was even more exciting than the first ten years of her life combined, which made her feel as if she was in another world.

But in fact, my man has only been practicing for less than a year.

In less than a year, my man has become so powerful, it's really good...

"I lost."

Ye Cangxue admitted defeat very decisively, then stepped forward and gently hugged Gu Nian, saying with a smile,

"From now on, I'll need your protection."

"Little brother, I'm going to hand over my life to you."

Hear this.

Gu Nian hugged Ye Cangxue and said softly,

"Don't worry, Sister Ye, I will always protect you."

In fact, Gu Nian's victory was a bit of a trick.

Under normal circumstances, even if Gu Nian could defeat Ye Cangxue, he would not win so quickly.

This is attribute restraint.

After all, the Ice Fairy is best at her abilities related to ice and snow. Whether it is sword energy or her own innate abilities, they are all related to this.

It would naturally be difficult for someone else to deal with her, but Gu Nian chose to use the Lihuo Sword Technique.

Even for others who possess fire-attributed sword energy, it would not be so easy to defeat Ye Cangxue.

After all, although fire can restrain ice and snow to a certain extent, once the ice and snow are too strong, they will in turn overwhelm the fire.

But Gu Nian's own strength is stronger than Ye Cangxue, so his fire is naturally stronger than Ye Cangxue's ice and snow.

This is what can lead to this situation of complete restraint.

Besides.

Gu Nian's Lihuo can also block the view.

When Ye Cangxue was dealing with Lihuo, even Gu Nian couldn't see him, which naturally made it easier for Gu Nian to take action.

But there was no intention to express these thoughts out loud.

It’s not that Gu Nian is vain, but Gu Nian knows that Ye Cangxue will be unhappy if she says it.

Regardless of whether it was a trick or not, winning is winning, there is no need to make excuses.

In a real life-and-death fight, no one cares whether you use tricks or not, as long as you can win.

So.

If Gu Nian was still making excuses for Ye Cangxue, then it would not be comforting Ye Cangxue, but humiliating her.
