Zhou Ping'an had just rushed to Dongshan City.

Seeing no trace of the Green Lady, he guessed that Little Qin Xian, worried about her elder sister's safety, must have figured out a way to sneak into the city.

But these bandits killed commoners without a ripple in their hearts—as if chopping vegetables.
