A frantic Wu Yuan tried to rush up to them, only to be stopped by Azurite who said, "That's my Master's consort."
Wu Yuan stopped in his tracks. He could not tear his eyes away from Gu Nansheng, who lay right beside Feng Tianlan. He felt as though the world had stopped moving at that very instant. A dull pain tugged away at his heart.
From behind, Si Mobai embraced Feng Tianlan gently. He reached out and took her hands into his, one in each, intertwining his fingers with hers. He cut off that seemingly endless supply of Spiritual Force pouring into her body, pushing out a spiritual barrier that stopped those forces from closing in.
He locked her fingers tightly in his and put his lips by her ear. Softly and gently in this night rain, he called out, "Lan'er."
