"His expression suddenly changed."

Holding the wine glass, Anthony looked at the huge crowd of people around Andrew from a distance, feeling a little emotional.

"It's as if he suddenly unloaded some burden that weighed on him. It feels like this person's aura is different."

As the legitimate son of the great nobleman Rice's family, and his fiancée is the sponsor, Anthony didn't have to stand in front of the champion like everyone else.

Whether the champion is real or not, he doesn't care, and he doesn't need to give praise or respect.

But before he could immerse himself in the pride of enjoying his confidence, he suddenly heard a chuckle in his ear.

Ah.

"You still have the nerve to talk about others."

A mocking chuckle sounded beside him, causing Anthony's expression to change slightly.

Sophie, the fiancée who was holding Anthony's arm beside Anthony, looked at Andrew without turning her head, and said lightly:

"Just now your expression was not what it is now. Didn't you calm down after he left?"

Pointingly glanced at the direction where Ning Feng disappeared, and said:

"After that watchman left."

Uh……

Listening to the harsh words, Anthony's cheeks twitched unnaturally, wanting to explain something.

But after struggling for a long time, he didn't refute Sophie angrily like before. In the end, he just raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed, and said in a low voice:

"Ahem...these two things are actually quite different."

Anthony's voice was not loud when he said this, and only his fiancee could hear him, and his reaction made Sophie, who was not really mocking him, feel a little funny.

She laughed, and while observing the different reactions of the guests, she asked:

"How could it be different? And why did you become like this? Could it be that you were really frightened?"

Being so submissive, could it be that Ning Feng really left a psychological shadow on you?

Not so much, right?

Didn't you just have a conflict?

Anthony and Ning Feng had only one contact, the one they met in the palace, but even though they were humiliated, it wouldn't be like this.

What about your usual look of a playboy who is not afraid of anything?It can't really be a strong outsider, can it?

Thinking of this, Sophie didn't hear the answer for a long time. Feeling a little strange, she withdrew her gaze and raised her head towards her side...

Ok?

Sophie saw the profile of her fiancé. Although she still maintained her appearance so as not to make a fool of herself, she still keenly noticed the deep emotion hidden in his eyes.

It was confusion, and fear.

It's understandable to be confused. After all, the two had just left from Cairns, and the conditions given by their grandfather really confused them.

But... fear?

Sophie knew better than anyone else that although her fiancé seemed careless and unreliable at ordinary times, she was completely trustworthy in critical moments.

In this star-chaser game, even though Anthony didn't achieve much, Sophie knew that he performed very well.

There are many small problems, but he does not pull his hips when it comes to big problems. He is a qualified companion and fiancé.

And now, he was actually afraid of a competitor he had only met once?

Such behavior sounds very unpromising, but before feeling angry, Sophie just felt strange.

The two had already met with Keynes just now, and reported that they wanted to hold the wedding as soon as possible. During the whole process, Anthony did not show any fear in the face of Keynes.

You must know that with the old man's status and means, even if Anthony is afraid, it is not a shameful thing.

But he didn't. Instead, he held his hand firmly and faced Keynes with his usual expression.

To be honest, Sophie, who was completely desperate at the time, really felt a sense of security from Anthony just now.

There must be something wrong with the scary old Jacelyn looking normal, only to feel uneasy when confronted with a young Warden.

"Anthony, are you okay?"

Because of some worry, Sophie's voice became a lot gentler, fearing that Anthony's strange state would deepen if she was accidentally stimulated.

However, instead of calming Anthony down, her gentle voice suddenly shook his shoulders, as if he had heard something terrible.

Anthony:! ! ?

Ok? ? ?

Sophie narrowed her eyes slightly, squinting at her fiancé with an awkward expression.

"What do you mean?"

Explain, I want to hear how you can quibble.

If you don't give me a suitable reason, you will see me later.

"Hahahahaha, actually..."

When he came back to his senses, Anthony laughed awkwardly for a while, and after realizing that there was no way to fool him, he paused and said:

"Actually, it's nothing. I just thought of something suddenly and felt that my life was in danger... Cough cough, no."

After coughing hard, Anthony's expression became serious, and he said seriously:

"... I don't know why, when I saw him before, I always had a strange feeling in my heart."

It was not specified who the words were referring to, but Sophie could understand, and realized from his words that Anthony was not just making excuses.

"I feel as if I have..."

After a pause, Anthony continued:

"Killed by him once."

kill?

Sophie wanted to refute immediately, but she suddenly remembered something.

When he found Anthony, his miserable state!

Most of the bones in his body are broken, and there are countless wounds on his body. To a certain extent, he can indeed be said to have died once, which is not an exaggeration.

Sophie entered a state of active suspended animation with the special items she carried before, which is why she was able to stay in the end with the identity of an ordinary person.

During the period of suspended animation, she didn't know what happened to the outside world, and when she woke up, everything was over.

After being silent for a while, Anthony sweated slightly on his forehead, drank up the red wine in the glass, as if waking up from a nightmare, and said slowly:

"When I look into his eyes, some strange fragments will always flash before my eyes."

There is an inexplicable fear in my heart, and a pair of scarlet cruel eyes always appear in my mind...

Just when Anthony was about to immerse himself in that broken scene again, Sophie beside him suddenly let go of his arm, which made him suddenly wake up.

what happened?

She lowered her head in confusion, only to find that Sophie was adjusting the clothing and details on her body while saying softly:

"Don't think too much, those are illusions, Anthony."

Delusion?

"Is it because the lord descended in his body? You're just confusing that feeling."

The power of Stargazer shocked everyone, and Ning Feng as the carrier also left a deep impression on them.

"If you feel uncomfortable, go back to your room and take a rest. If you don't like what happens next, I won't let you stay with me."

After adjusting the details, Sophie showed the standard smile of a diplomat of the Silver Council, and after glancing at Anthony, she gracefully walked towards the center of the hall.

Watching his fiancée walk towards the social scene, Anthony did not follow. He stayed where he was and took a glass of wine from the passing maid.

"...Maybe so."

There were still some words in his heart that he didn't tell Sophie. Anthony's intuition told him that the feeling Ning Feng gave him might not be just because he saw the shadow of that adult.

"Why, why? I always thought he could kill me easily?"

as well as……

Anthony imitated a residual image in his mind, stretched out his right hand and held it forward.

"That person seems to be saying...a little lesson?"

Thinking hard, Anthony muttered inexplicably:

"What a small punishment that is!"

……

……

On the other side of the ball, Rhodes was holding a wine glass with a dignified expression. He didn't respond to people passing by around him. He was nailed in the middle of the hall like a nail.

He has been thinking about one thing, repeatedly thinking about a sentence.

When Ning Feng passed him by, the other party chuckled and whispered that sentence in Rhodes' ear.

After being silent for a long time, Rhodes raised his head in confusion, and muttered to himself with emotion:

"Is this a blessing in disguise?"

I thought it was me who lost everything this time, but I was favored by the Overwatch Club!

"After that, let me go to Bincheng to find him... what is it?"

Not far behind the thinking Rhodes, the vampire awakened Fran moved her nose strangely.

After Ning Feng and Xi Lin left, she kept staring at the ground they passed by, and finally murmured to herself somewhat uncertainly:

"Could it be..."

……

……

【"So why did you take the initiative to run away?"】

As if holding back for a long time, Aryanna chattered into Ning Feng's ear and asked:

【"Obviously according to the conventional development of the storyline, you should enjoy flowers and beauties there, as well as get in touch with those legends who are interested in you, shouldn't you?"】

That's the best way to deal with it!

Black Cat expressed excitement, but Ning Feng refused.

"I think, what you said is secondary, don't worry about it anymore."

Stop, I say listen.

"Actually, I just don't want to lose a friend."

Number 86, a friend who knows that he is not too much but not too little.

The previous relationship was good, there is no need to make the relationship so rigid.

In addition, Ning Feng really felt that those things were irrelevant, he had already obtained the most precious thing.

"And what I said to Andrew wasn't fake, I really hated the way they spoke and the way they looked at me."

What they looked at was not Ning Feng, but his background, his talent, and the stargazer behind who might be watching here.

They didn't care about Ning Feng himself, or he only took up a very small part at the moment.

All in all, in the final analysis, there is still a lack of strength, and Ning Feng itself is not that important in their hearts.

"And, most importantly, I really want to go home."

"I miss home very much now, and I miss her very much."

【"Wow! What a touching thought! You can say such a scumbag that you miss other women when you are hugging a woman!"】

【"But I don't mind~ because you are already chatting happily with another woman."】

Ha ha……

Looking at Xilin from the corner of the eye, Ning Feng smiled, and hugged Xilin's arm tightly, and said:

"Now she doesn't have time to think about this, what she needs more is time to digest the shock just now."

A lot of shocks, not only about their first experience in Sky City, but also a lot of news.

And promised Ning Feng while half asleep and half awake, to attend the banquet in the same way as a masquerade ball.

Xilin used to hate such occasions, but Ning Feng felt that it was impossible for her to sit at home all her life.

Although it is a bit late to change it now, he thinks he can give it a try.

You can’t just say that you hate it without experiencing it, right?

And if Xilin still hates it after experiencing it, then Ning Feng thinks it doesn't matter if she stays at home, anyway, she has been here for more than 200 years.

Shirin did not use the most traditional way to return, but used the teleportation array of Sky City to directly teleport to the Binhai Branch.

Ning Feng didn't see the stargazer again, and he didn't know if the other party hid on purpose, or did not show up because of some other reasons.

But what Ning Feng could know was that while they were waiting, there was always a pair of eyes quietly projecting down from the high tower in the city.

She was watching them all the time, never taking her eyes off her.

She kept watching him.

But this time, Ning Feng didn't feel uneasy anymore, on the contrary, he felt relieved.

He pulled the bewildered Shirene to salute the tower, and then calmly stepped into the teleportation formation.

And the first time she returned to the Bincheng Overwatch Club, Xilin, who was still in a daze just now, suddenly walked out of Ning Feng's arms.

Ok?

Ning Feng looked at her puzzled, wondering what she was doing all of a sudden, while Xilin said seriously:

"I still have, I have some other things to deal with! You go back first, I... I'll take a step first!"

Without waiting for Ning Feng to ask, she teleported and disappeared into the teleportation array, leaving Ning Feng watching her disappear strangely.

Ning Feng:? ? ?

Although Xilin's words were high-sounding and had seemingly legitimate reasons, Ning Feng always felt that there seemed to be some problems in the system that he had overlooked.

What are you doing?

Before he could think clearly, another longing in his heart had left him no time to think about these irrelevant issues.

After he walked out of the teleportation array room, he walked quickly to Shirin's room on the top floor.

bang.

Ning Feng pushed open the door, and saw the back of Miss before he could look for it.

Jiang Wan!

Obviously it's only been a few days, but Ning Feng has a feeling that it's been a long time.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Jiang Wan's cold and angry voice:

"You still know how to come back?"

Ning Feng:?

Dangerous!
