Qin Shier's sharp attack was completely blocked.
"You guys go first, I'll be right behind you!"
Xia He's voice was as cold as ever as she drew her sword and charged at Qin Shier.
Jiang Shouzhong picked up He Lianlan again.
"Go!"
Qiuye, having caught her breath, hesitated not and dashed towards the east bank of Huailan Lake with Jiang Shouzhong.
The two narrowly escaped a wave of guards and moved from the east bank of Huailan Lake to Laoyanzi Street, finally reaching the exterior of a relatively safe, ruined hut. The surroundings were silent, lit only by the bleak moonlight.
"You wait here, take good care of her. I'll go back for my elder sister; she's no match for Qin Shier."
Qiuye swallowed an elixir to forcefully suppress her injuries, turned around and left. After a few steps, she turned back to glance at Jiang Shouzhong's back, which was oozing blood, her eyes complex. She moved her lips as if to speak but ultimately said nothing and disappeared into the alley.
