The sword pierced the woman in the same place again.
She hissed at the pain.
She turned towards her attacker with a glare. "You! Don't you see that he doesn't want to leave?"
Cheng Xiu scowled. She turned towards San Zhe who was looking down at her in a daze.
Brother San? Are you not coming?"
"I don't want to leave," he said in a dull voice.
Cheng Xiu stilled. She could recognize that he was being manipulated.
"Let go of him!" Cheng Xiu said with a hiss in her voice.
The woman smiled. "If you have the ability, take him away by gaining his consent."
Cheng Xiu scoffed. He was being controlled, and it was obvious that he would do what the NPC wanted him to do.
There was no way that he would come with her willingly now.
But there was no reason to ask for his consent in this regard. She could get him away from the woman and the skill effect of the NPC should wear off on its own.
