7 ：An indescribable feeling (第6/7页)



    As　night　fell，　they　met　in　the　garden，　their　hearts　pounding　with　anticipation.　Han　Fengling　took　her　hand，　his　grip　firm　and　reassuring.　＂Are　you　ready?＂　he　asked　softly.

    She　nodded，　her　eyes　filled　with　determination.　＂Yes.　Let，s　go.＂

    They　moved　silently　through　the　shadows，　slipping　past　guards　and　servants　who　were　unaware　of　their　plans.　As　they　reached　the　edge　of　the　estate，　a　sense　of　freedom　washed　over　them.　They　were　leaving　behind　a　world　of　danger　and　deception，　stepping　into　the　unknown　with　nothing　but　their　love　to　guide　them.

    But　just　as　they　were　about　to　cross　the　threshold，　a　voice　rang　out　in　the　darkness.　＂Going　somewhere?＂

    Xie　Tianxie　lunged　at　them，　his　movements　swift　and　deadly.　Han　Fengling　met　him　head－on，　their　swords　clashing　in　a　shower　of　sparks.　Sukie　watched　in　horror　as　the　two　men　fought，　their　skills　evenly　matched.　She　knew　she　had　to　do　som
