There was nothing remarkable about Zhao Ming's story, but Yun Lintian didn't interrupt and calmly listened to him.
Zhao Ming's expression darkened as he continued. "However, I knew that the robbers deliberately left me behind to be a scapegoat… The robbers took away the eldest lady and their identity wasn't difficult to guess. They were members of the Ji Clan."
"At that moment, I knew that escaping was my only option. I ran all the way and discovered this town."
Yun Lintian asked curiously. "Since the eldest lady holds a very high status, why didn't the Qing Clan assign more experts to protect her?"
He had no intention of looking down on Zhao Ming or anything, but it didn't make sense to have a Heaven Profound Realm practitioner protecting the eldest lady of the clan.
Zhao Ming smiled bitterly. "Normally, my responsibility was to guard the eldest lady's courtyard. I was told to join the trip."
