In life, if you can have someone to rely on, that is indeed a great blessing. However, many people live their entire lives without meeting such a person, and even the strongest support from behind, like parents, can abandon you.
So, if you do encounter such a person, it is an exceptionally lucky thing.
Moon's current feeling towards Hao Jian is like that. As long as she can lie in Hao Jian's arms, she feels it's the happiest and most blissful thing in the world.
Although her memory hasn't recovered, and she doesn't know who this man before her is, deep in her heart, she has developed a great sense of dependence and trust in him, with a very, very familiar feeling, like they've known each other for many, many years.
She continued to hold Hao Jian this way, wanting to hold on till the end of time, till oceans dry and rocks crumble.
Blood had already stained Hao Jian's body completely red, his clothing completely red. Even though the acupoints had been blocked, the wound was too deep, and the blood still couldn't stop flowing out.
But Hao Jian didn't want to move. He wanted to enjoy this quiet moment.
If he could, he wished it could continue like this forever, eternally.
Moon suddenly lifted her head, scrutinized Hao Jian closely, then asked, "Why did you do this?"
Hao Jian just smiled. Although his whole body had been stained red with blood, he still looked as if nothing was wrong.
"I don't believe you've forgotten me," Hao Jian said blandly.
Moon showed a perplexed smile.
Suddenly, Moon, lying in Hao Jian's arms, seemed to lose consciousness, her body went limp, and when he looked down, she had already fainted.
It seemed that such a surge of memories flooded into her mind, causing her to faint from being unable to adapt.
Hao Jian continued to hold Moon, but abruptly, a group of people stormed over aggressively and rushed onto the platform.
This group was precisely the people from Tianwang Fort, with a leading Elder, whose face was now bright red with anger. Seeing Tianwang Fort rush up gave Ye Yiyun the confidence to also storm up.
At this moment, the crowd glared aggressively at Hao Jian.
Hao Jian was already feeling somewhat drained of energy. After all, having lost so much blood, the sword remained lodged in his chest and couldn't be pulled out; if it were recklessly pulled out, the bleeding would indeed be unstoppable.
The Elder from Tianwang Fort looked at Hao Jian angrily, then said, "Let her go, or else don't blame Tianwang Fort for being unkind."
While speaking, he didn't forget to bring up Tianwang Fort's name, just wanting to use the reputation of Tianwang Fort to suppress Hao Jian.
If Hao Jian were afraid of even a small Tianwang Fort, that would really be laughable.
However, Hao Jian didn't speak. Instead, he stood up.
Upon standing, that Elder was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated a few steps, fearing Hao Jian would suddenly make a move on him, and the crowd behind him also backed away several steps in fear. Ye Yiyun even cowardly retreated to the bottom of the platform.
Hao Jian simply smiled, then turned and walked in the opposite direction, towards the bottom of the platform.
He was now seriously injured, pierced through by a sword, and having lost so much blood, it was not easy to even stand, let alone tackle the people of Tianwang Fort; even supporting himself was quite difficult.
If it were the usual circumstances, he could easily take these people down without even needing to act, but today was not the usual day. Hao Jian knew deeply what the current situation was.
If he really fought with the people from Tianwang Fort and if he ended up collapsing due to his internal injuries, who knows what would happen; he had no fear for himself, but he worried about Moon.
Moon, after losing her memory, was with Tianwang Fort and became one of them, so Tianwang Fort surely had something to do with Moon's amnesia. If he took Moon away by force, Tianwang Fort might, in anger, harm Moon if they thought something had been exposed.
By that time, if he collapsed unconscious from exhaustion and Moon was also fainted, the consequences would be unthinkable if they intended to harm Moon.
So, it was better to pacify the situation for now, wait for things to settle down, and then resolve it.
If Moon regained her memory upon waking, then he and Moon would fight their way out to rescue her, and if not, another way had to be found.
This was Hao Jian's contingency plan, devised in just a few brief seconds.
So, he placed Moon down and walked towards the bottom of the platform.
The group from Tianwang Fort was at a loss, not knowing what Hao Jian's strategy was or what he intended. But when Hao Jian reached the bottom, the Elder moved slightly, then walked to Moon's side to have someone help her up.
Moon had slightly regained consciousness by now, barely opened her eyes, allowed herself to be supported, and watched Hao Jian slowly walk away, appearing lost in thought.
Ye Yiyun was about to support Moon, but Moon gave her a look, different from the usual gaze Moon had for her, with an added hint of unfamiliarity.
Ye Yiyun was too frightened even to dare to help Moon.
By now, Moon was feeling much better, threw off those helping her, and said, "I don't need help."
Ye Yiyun hesitantly approached and asked Moon, "Moon, are you feeling better?"
Moon said calmly: "It's okay!"
Then Moon walked down the arena alone, and the people of Tianwang Fort looked at each other, then the Elder left, and they followed.
Thus, a farce ended on such an unhappy note. Though the people below were bewildered as to what had just happened, they all shared a common understanding in their hearts: the ultimate victor of this duel was undoubtedly Hao Jian.
Although Hao Jian was struck by a sword in the end, it was clear to anyone with sense that Hao Jian did not deliberately avoid the strike but instead faced the sword head-on without a trace of fear.
It's safe to say Hao Jian wanted Moon to strike him, which is why he was hit by Moon. Later, Moon inexplicably fainted, but Hao Jian walked off the arena as if nothing had happened.
With a longsword still embedded in his body, completely piercing through, he walked with a commanding presence.
Then everyone made way for Hao Jian, no one approached him, and everyone looked at him with eyes full of admiration.
This is the true master; who is Moon, such a powerful figure yet defeated by Hao Jian. Though they didn't know Hao Jian's identity, they all started to respect Hao Jian from the bottom of their hearts.
Qiqi was also watching Hao Jian beside them and said: "Big brother is so awesome, he even defeated that big sister, but doesn't he feel pain seeing him bleed so much?"
Qiqi looked at Hao Jian with a pained expression.
Zhou Yaokun wanted his wife to support him to go to Hao Jian, and then Qiqi's family walked towards Hao Jian.
By this time, Feng Shiyuan had already passed through the crowd to be beside Hao Jian. Seeing Hao Jian covered in blood shocked him, at first, he was stunned for several seconds.
Initially, he thought Hao Jian went up just to get beaten, but when Hao Jian made his move, the power he burst forth completely astonished him.
This strength is truly extraordinary, it completely changed his perception of Hao Jian. He wasn't just a wealthy boss, but also an exceptionally skilled master.
Seeing Hao Jian gradually faltering, Feng Shiyuan quickly went to support him.
Feng Shiyuan asked, "Are you alright?"
Hao Jian shook his head, then leaned on Feng Shiyuan's hand and walked slowly.
The crowd watched Hao Jian and began to cheer.
"Master! Master! Master! So powerful!"
"Really too cool, super powerful!"
"Great one, from now on I will worship you, I am your fan, your admirer!"
"......"
The crowd spoke excitedly, their spirits were incredibly high.
At this moment, Feng Shiyuan supporting Hao Jian also had a proud expression, enjoying this glory as if the cheers were for him.
Hao Jian had no interest staying there anymore, he tugged Feng Shiyuan and said: "Quickly take me to my place!"
Feng Shiyuan responded briefly and began supporting Hao Jian to his residence.
By this time, Zhou Yaokun had already been supported by his wife and walked over, with Qiqi following behind.
Qiqi wanted to rush over when she saw Hao Jian, but seeing Hao Jian's frail appearance, she asked him: "Big brother, are you okay?"
Hao Jian didn't speak, then reached out to touch Qiqi's head. Every time he saw this little girl, he would feel a bit happy; even now, seeing her brought some joy.
Zhou Yaokun observed the injuries and said nothing further, then they supported Hao Jian toward his residence.
......
When Hao Jian opened his eyes again, it was not the previous scene. He found himself lying in bed, with the longsword Moon had stabbed him with already removed, and he felt dizzy, the wound had been bandaged, and white gauze was wrapped around his body.
Hao Jian struggled to sit up, but as soon as he did, a sharp pain hit him, and he lay back down.
The commotion startled Feng Shiyuan, Qiqi, and others nearby, and they quickly came over.
Qiqi saw Hao Jian awake and said: "Big brother, you're awake!"
Hao Jian nodded, "Mm-hmm!"
Then Qiqi touched Hao Jian's hand to comfort him, her words amused everyone else.
But soon Hao Jian fell silent, and Zhou Yaokun suggested Hao Jian should rest well, then he led everyone out.
At this moment, Hao Jian's mind was solely occupied with thoughts of Moon.
