Sun Bai stood there, momentarily speechless. Frowning, he sighed, then stomped his feet to carry out Shao Yunduan's orders, organizing the servants.
Taking hold of Qiao Xuan's arms, Shao Yunduan whispered urgently.
Qiao Xuan was taken aback.
"There's no time. Tell Ah-Ye to prepare. You'll charge forward shortly. Sun Bai will arrange cover for you. Don't worry; I'll be fine. Sun Bai and the others can protect me. I'll take Lixia and the rest, but whether they make it out depends on luck…"
Shao Yunduan couldn't offer guarantees in such dire circumstances.
A lump formed in Qiao Xuan's throat.
Her bond with Lixia and the others ran deep, and she couldn't leave them behind. But to Shao Yunduan, they were merely servants. Had it not been for him, Shao Yunduan wouldn't have given them special attention.
Today's unforeseen event surpassed their expectations. The chances of escape hinged on life itself.
