"Sir!" a guard called as he knelt and immediately reported. "Two of the groups we are yet to capture have been saved by Xie Lan and Jing Rui!" he said. "And, the scouts have reported that afar, they saw four streaks of red light coming this way." He added.
Qi Ling frowned after he heard a guard's report. "That Xie Lan and Jing Rui! They're so persistent like cockroaches!" he spat. "And those four streaks of light… who could they be if not those four brats from the Jing Clan?" he gnashed his teeth as he pushed all of the objects on top of the table beside him. "You two." He called as he turned to the wooden Su Yuan and Jing Xian. "Intercept them. Don't kill them, as I need them alive to make Jing Rui surrender!" he told them.
"Yes!" Su Yuan and Jing Xian answered in a flat voice as they stiffly walked away. The guard that reported followed behind them and they left.
