Mo Qi was the first to come to his senses. Though he knew he and Zi Wei had the same goal, they each had their agenda, and getting Su Han was still his priority.
However, he dispatched the Shadow Guards to deal with the other group first, opting to pursue Zi Wei alone.
As they neared the Marquis's Manor, Mo Qi shouted at Zi Wei, "Hey, barging into the General Manor like this will tarnish the reputations of the two Misses!"
Zi Wei, unfamiliar with the importance of a woman's reputation, solely focused on retrieving Su Han and disregarded Mo Qi.
Mo Qi pursued him, earnestly trying to persuade him. "Hand her over to me, or Miss Han's reputation will suffer, and Miss Su will be implicated as well."
"Leave."
Zi Wei ignored him entirely. Disliking trouble, he deposited Su Han in a narrow alley and engaged Mo Qi in combat.
Mo Qi, not one to refrain from retaliation, fought back. The two experts clashed vigorously, stirring up clouds of dust.
