"Madam, I'd better ask the master first," said the guard, not daring to open the door on his own. If something happened to the great madam, he certainly couldn't bear the responsibility.
"Could you please open the door for me?" Qianxue looked at him, gesturing again, her eyes full of determination and pleading.
"Well..."
"Open the door for her!" Just as the guard hesitated, Leng Yuntuo's voice came through, "Let her leave this place, she is not happy here."
"Young Master Tuo, about the master..."
Leng Yuntuo's eyes narrowed, "I will explain to my uncle myself. Now, open the gates; I will take her out. If anything happens, I will take the responsibility."
"Uh..." The plump guard whirled his small eyes, discussed briefly with another guard, and finally pressed the key to open the door.
"Qianxue, are you sure you want to leave now? It's too late. How about waiting till tomorrow?" Leng Yuntuo looked at the quiet mountain road, worried.
