By the time he realized what was happening, Han Yu had already positioned himself in front of him. All he heard was the sound of a blade piercing flesh, and Liu Xiu experienced a moment of stunned disbelief.
Such an incident and transformation occurred in an instant. Even though Han Yu had come to rescue him this time and remained devoted as always, after so many betrayals, Liu Xiu's trust in Han Yu was always limited—at least he did not show as much trust as one might expect. To his surprise, in this critical moment, it was again Han Yu who saved him, and in such a way. He had never thought Han Yu would risk his life to save him. This scene was too shocking, challenging his long-held views and beliefs.
