"Winnie, who is he?"

At the restaurant table, after hearing the strange man suddenly appeared in front of him and the girl he loved, the self-evident meaning suddenly exploded in Yaheng's mind like a bolt from the blue.

They are leaving? They are leaving this town? Why? And, who is the man in front of you? What is his relationship with Winnie?

A series of doubts filled Yaheng's brain almost instantly. He suddenly stood up and decided to ask for it himself.

"who is he?"

After looking at the young man next to Winnie, who suddenly stood up to question him, Xia Lan looked at Winnie in front of her and said.

Winnie hurriedly answered the latter for the two same questions, because she knew the danger of the man in front of her. If she had hesitation and concerns, it would probably cause some unnecessary trouble.

"His name is Yaheng, and he is a friend I met during my time staying here for a while."

As he said that, Winnie turned her head and answered the same question from Kiaheng.

"Ya Heng, he is the person I said I have been waiting for."

Before Xia Lan could speak, the young man named Yaheng opposite him had already spoken again, "What is his relationship with you? Do you mean to leave Ayen Town? Winnie, why do you want to leave?"

Looking at the anxious and worried gaze in Yaheng's eyes, Winnie didn't know how to speak for a moment.

She knew the other person’s feelings and she knew the other person’s reluctance, but she had a reason to have to leave.

During the period of time she was together, Yaheng was undoubtedly a very kind and simple good person in her eyes. She didn't want to hurt the other party or give the other party any pain. But when Xia Lan appeared, everything was in an irreversible situation.

Once she thought about waiting for Xia Lan to appear and left silently. At least this would relieve the pain in the other party's heart. However, things did not go as expected. Who would have expected that things would develop to this point?

Just as Winnie was struggling and hesitating, Xia Lan's calm voice completely destroyed the escape route in her heart.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that she is mine."

Not only that, Xia Lan's hand on Winnie's weak shoulders cruelly hurt the fragile heart of the young man in front of her.

"Winnie. You you..."

Yaheng trembled and raised his hand to point at the indifferent girl, his face full of incredible dullness.

"Ya Heng, I'm sorry."

Winnie lowered her head and spoke in shame.

Yaheng clenched his fists, his teeth stared at the man who took away his beloved girl as if he was about to bite his lips. This was the first time he was so angry and so painful.

"Clang—"

A sword sound.

In an instant, the entire bustling small restaurant suddenly became silent.

The restaurant owner who stopped making soup in his hands stopped the beggar who was swallowing, and the pedestrians who were watching... all of them gathered together.

Because they saw a sword, a long sword of cold light that was bloodthirsty on a person's neck.

"Murdered!"

I don’t know who suddenly shouted this sentence. The crowd suddenly burst into chaos and noisy.

"Mr. Xia Lan, please don't kill him."

The stunned Winnie came to her senses, and then immediately stood in front of Yaheng and said nervously to Xia Lan.

"Just kidding."

After receiving the sword expressionlessly, Xia Lan said calmly.

This is no longer a joke, right? Winnie couldn't help but want to say it.

"Let's go."

After saying that, Xia Lan turned around and took the reins of the horse that was not far away. Winnie breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed her. Turning back, she saw that Yaheng was still in a daze.

...

"He likes you."

In Winnie's room, Xia Lan sat in an old chair and looked at Winnie who was busy cleaning up and down.

"I know."

Winnie sighed while rummaging through the wardrobe.

"Why don't you just tell him that you don't like him?" Xia Lan said.

"Because I don't want to hurt him." Winnie suddenly stopped her hand and turned around.

"This is not like you." Xia Lan gently blew the hot air on the teacup.

"This is me." Winnie glanced at the other party and denied directly.

"It's very contradictory."

"The same to you."

Xia Lan nodded unexpectedly and agreed: "Yes, but I at least understand that long pain is worse than short pain."

"It seems you have had this experience?" Winnie suddenly laughed.

"Experience? Maybe."

For some reason, Xia Lan suddenly remembered Maggie in her mind.

"Why must I choose to leave today?"

Continue to rummaging into the closet, Winnie's voice came.

"A unit of Sugro has secretly infiltrated the province of Torofi."

As he said that, Xia Lan pointed at her feet.

"And, their goal is here."

"What?"

Winnie was shocked and looked at Xia Lan in disbelief.

“What exactly do they want to do?”

"blockade."

"blockade?"

"Yes!" Xia Lan said calmly: "They want to completely cut off the connection between the Kingdom of Adria and the outside world."

"But why did they choose here?" Winnie said in confusion.

"It's hard to explain, unless you have seen the map of the Kingdom of Adria and its surrounding geography, you will understand the truth." Xia Lan said.

After a long silence, Winnie suddenly looked solemn.

"If what you said is true, then we have to inform the people in the town!"

"No!" Xia Lan refuted decisively.

"Why not?" Winnie said excitedly.

"Let's not mention whether people will believe your words. If they really believe it, have you never thought that it would cause us any trouble?" Xia Lan said.

"trouble?"

“Yes, the fugitives will completely paralyze the roads of the entire Leraso Mountains unless you are willing to choose to open up a new path.”

"Do we just ignore it like this? Haven't you ever thought about how much harm the Sogro's undead will cause to the people here after the invasion of the undead?" Winnie argued with a flushed face.

"I know."

"Then don't stop me, not everyone is as cold-blooded as you."

"If you insist on doing this, then..."

As he said that, Xia Lan stood up.

"what are you up to?"

"You have been abandoned by me."

Without looking back, Xia Lan walked straight towards the door.

"Hey! Hey..."

Behind him, Winnie screamed in panic, and her hurried footsteps kept coming from the ground.

When Xia Lan held the door handle, she finally grabbed the corner of the other person's clothes.

"open."

Xia Lan's indifferent path.

"Don't let go." The girl said stubbornly.

"Bang--"

Raising his kick, Xia Lan kicked the girl to the ground.

"The last choice is to leave, or not."

Winnie slowly got up, stretched out her little hand to wipe the blood that had been kicked to pieces from the corner of her mouth.

She stared at Xia Lan, her round eyes narrowed into a thin slit, and endless coldness shone in her eyes.
