Her originally chubby face had lost a lot of weight after this torture. It was very heartbreaking.

She looked up at this moment, her eyes filled with worry.

Chu Liuyue picked her up and gently rubbed her face. "Don't worry, Tuan Zi. Zi Chen will be fine."

Tuan Zi hugged her neck with both hands, her small brows still tightly furrowed. "But… But he's so seriously injured…"

Chu Liuyue sighed in her heart. Tuan Zi is very smart. These vague words can't comfort her at all.

She kissed Tuan Zi and patiently advised gently, "Tuan Zi, don't worry. We're already back. As long as you guys recuperate well, everything will be fine. Don't you even believe in A'Yue?"

Tuan Zi shook her head and leaned against her shoulder as she muttered softly. "Tuan Zi trusts A'Yue the most."

Chu Liuyue's heart softened, and she said to Yi Zhao beside her, "Then, let's go to Clan Leader Grandpa's side first and wait together, okay?"

Tuan Zi knew that she was going to help Zi Chen treat his injuries, so she nodded obediently. "Okay."

Rong Xiu was standing at the side. When he saw this scene, he seemed to have thought of something.

A glint flashed across his eyes, and his eyes softened.

Chu Liuyue didn't notice it. She turned around and handed Tuan Zi to Yi Zhao.

Yi Zhao's usually cold face instantly fluctuated. He coughed and reached out to carefully carry Tuan Zi in his arms.

Although Tuan Zi had already opened her sixth meridian, she was still a soft ball when carried.

He lowered his eyes slightly and saw the dark-red bloodstains on Tuan Zi's body that had already dried up. Anger and killing intent still surged in his heart, but he was afraid of scaring Tuan Zi, so he suppressed it in the end.

After killing Nie Hongjie and his daughter, he still couldn't vent his hatred!

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ If there was a chance in the future, he would definitely find the person behind it and make him pay for Tuan Zi's suffering a thousand times over!

Suddenly, a soft hand touched his forehead. "Clan Leader Grandpa, don't be angry. Isn't Tuan Zi fine?"

Although Yi Zhao didn't say anything, Tuan ZI knew that he was feeling sorry for her and was also angry about what had happened previously.

Yi Zhao's heart instantly softened. He grabbed Tuan Zi's hand and nodded. "Okay. I'll listen to Tuan Zi."

At this moment, Chu Liuyue summoned Zi Chen.

Zi Chen's situation looked very bad. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was covered in injuries.

Even though Chu Liuyue had tried her best to heal his injuries previously, his injuries were too serious, especially the bone-piercing injury!

As a legendary fiend with half of a great phoenix dragon's bloodline… Logically speaking, Zi Chen's physical strength was extremely good. Even if he fought a legendary warrior, he might not be too seriously injured.

From this, it could be seen that the other party was extremely powerful and had attacked him extremely heavily!

Chu Liuyue suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, and a dagger appeared in her hand.

She walked over and cut open the shirt on Zi Chen's shoulder, revealing the wound that had pierced through the bone.

A bowl-sized bloody hole appeared in front.

Chu Liuyue's heart trembled.

In fact, over the years, she had seen more bloody and terrifying scenes than this. But now that this injury was on Zi Chen, she couldn't suppress her anger and heartache.

Zi Chen's two wrists also had the same wound.

Chu Liuyue took a deep breath and asked, "Is this an injury from trying to break free from that thing's restraint?"

Zi Chen's handsome and cold face turned pale as he nodded. Although his voice was weak, his tone was as calm and low as ever. "I'm not strong enough. I can only use this method."

He tried to break the chain, but he tried many ways and failed. In the end, this was all he could do.

Chu Liuyue felt stifled. "I was too careless. I shouldn't have let you leave at that time."

Every time she thought about it later on, she felt that if she had been more vigilant at that time and not let Tuan Zi and Zi Chen go out, these things might not have happened.

Zi Chen shook his head. "Xue Xue was with us at that time, but its goal was us—"

"That's not it." Tuan Zi suddenly spoke, her eyes red. "I know—it's me."

Her voice was already sobbing. "It's all my fault! If I hadn't insisted on pestering Zi Chen to fight at that time, he wouldn't have been implicated by me…"

As she spoke, she finally couldn't help but tear up.

Hot tears landed on Yi Zhao's hand, making his heart ache. "Tuan Zi, Tuan Zi, don't cry."

He had never seen such a scene before and was at a loss for a moment.

"Tuan Zi, it's not your fault." Chu Liuyue frowned. To be honest, the real target of that eye is actually me! As for Tuan Zi, she was the next best thing.

Tuan Zi's eyes were red and teary. When she saw the wound on Zi Chen's arm and shoulder, she cried even harder. "It's all because of me! Zi Chen was originally fine, but he was injured because he wanted to save me… It's all my fault…"

Previously, she had been tense, so she didn't think too much about it. Now that she had finally returned safely… When she saw Zi Chen's injuries and recalled the scenes at that time, she felt overwhelming guilt and self-reproach.

"Zi Chen… Sorry, sorry…" Tuan Zi cried until she was out of breath, as if she wanted to vent all the fear, grievances, and pain she had suffered during this period of time.

Her small body was crying and twitching.

Yi Zhao's heart ached so much that he didn't know what to do. He happened to look at Chu Liuyue for help.

"Don't cry." Zi Chen suddenly spoke. His expression was as cold and indifferent as ever, but his tone was a little gentle and patient.

Tuan Zi suddenly jumped down from Yi Zhao's arms and ran to Zi Chen. "Zi Chen, why don't you hit me!?"

As Tuan Zi spoke, she wiped her tears, but she couldn't wipe them away.

Seeing the bloody holes in Zi Chen's wrist and shoulder, she felt even more uncomfortable. "If you didn't save me, you wouldn't have to suffer these injuries!"

"It has nothing to do with you. When it locked me up, it had already pierced my wrist with a chain." Zi Chen shook his head. "But thank goodness…"

His gaze landed on Tuan Zi's wrist.

Perhaps to help Tuan Zi open her meridian, the other party didn't use this method to deal with Tuan Zi. Instead, it only locked her wrist with shackles.

Fortunately, his wrist was pierced, leaving a chance for him to escape.

Thank goodness it wasn't her.
