Fortunately, the large fire shed enough light that they could haphazardly see the road, and the number of fleeing people had markedly decreased.
Perhaps it was because they had wasted too much ti, by the ti Su Pan’er finally reached the Hall of Great Strength, she realized that sothing was amiss!
The surroundings were brimming with soldiers, all ard with dangerous weapons!
She quickly tried to hide, but the crying Little Yanyan in her arms gave away her location.
She was forced back into the Hall of Great Strength by countless weapons pointed at her.
In the crowd were Su Huarong and Jun Ruoxue among others. Watching the two of them arrive, Su Huarong and company imdiately rushed over.
"Fourth Younger Sister, are you alright?"
Su Huarong wore a worried expression.
"I’m fine, it’s just that Little Yanyan started crying because she was choking on smoke." Su Pan’er was quickly trying to soothe the uncontrollable crying child in her arms.
"Why all the commotion? No talking!"
Soone nearby harshly rebuked. So went so far as to whip people with a leather whip: "If anyone dares cause trouble or talk, don’t bla if my blade doesn’t recognize a friend from a foe!"
The commotion among the crowd was suddenly silenced.
Only the cry of Little Yanyan beca more distinct, imdiately drawing everyone’s attention towards her.
The man in the lead glanced at Su Pan’er with a surprised look, then quickly instructed the man next to him, who then quickly ran off.
Su Pan’er was comforting Little Yanyan, but she didn’t miss the exchange that took place. Her heart inevitably sank.
Fortunately, Little Yanyan had been choked by the smoke and after feeling a bit better and crying herself tired, she fell asleep in Su Pan’er’s arms again.
Su Pan’er silently moved back into the crowd. Su Huarong and the others had secured a spot near a large pillar, allowing Su Pan’er to lean against the pillar and sit down montarily.
Su Huarong squatted down next to her and took Little Yanyan into his arms. As he did so, he whispered:
"What should we do?"
"Wait!"
Su Pan’er only uttered a word before the two separated.
The movent imdiately attracted the attention of the soldiers. However, after recognizing that they were comforting a child, the soldiers glared at them fiercely before resuming their watch.
The man who had run off returned quickly, whispering a few words to the leader. Subsequently, the leader stared at Su Pan’er and motioned for the man to step aside with a wave of his hand.
The leader then stood up, his large body, which resembled a black bear, slowly moved forward. As he turned his head, there was the sound of his joints rubbing against each other. He walked to Su Pan’er’s side, staring down at her with killing intent in his eyes.
"You’re Mrs. Qin, correct?"
Su Pan’er didn’t move, but looked back at him with scrutiny: "What do you want?"
"Nothing in particular, just that soone wishes to et Mrs. Qin."
The leader smirked mockingly: "Mrs. Qin, if you please." And with that, he gestured an invitation.
"Soone wants to see ? Let guess, it can’t be Prince Xuan, can it?"
Su Pan’er’s expression remained extrely calm.
"Won’t Mrs. Qin know if she has a look? Please."
The other party retorted defiantly, clearly indicating he would resort to violence if she didn’t agree.
"Alright, I will co with you!"
Su Pan’er imdiately rose to her feet and started walking.
"Wait! Take your child with you." The man spoke again.
Su Pan’er’s eyes were filled with a killing intent, but in the end, she turned back to take Little Yanyan into her arms, and followed the man out of the Hall of Great Strength.
Inside, there were many people. Jun Ruoxue saw Su Pan’er being taken away and quickly rushed forward to hold Su Pan’er’s hand, her face full of urgency: "Sister Pan’er, don’t go..."
"What are you shouting about? You asking for a beating? Get down!"
The man was extrely cruel, pushing Jun Ruoxue away. Jun Ruoxue lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Yet she stubbornly got back up and reached out to pull Su Pan’er. "No! You cannot take Sister Pan’er away! You heartless bastards! Let her go!"
Before she finished her words, she was imdiately pushed over by four people who appeared at her side. Soon, four steel knives were held to her throat.
Su Pan’er and all the mbers of the Jun Family gasped in shock.
"Xue’er!"
"I’m fine..."
While Jun Ruoxue was unhurt from the fall, the steel knives on her throat terrified her; her face was filled with panic!
But she stubbornly said, "Have you not committed enough sins? You want to take soone away? Fine, you’ll have to step over my dead body."
Her words clearly irritated the gang leader!
"Ignorant fool, are you seeking death? Fine, I’ll grant you your wish!"
The leader put his hand on the handle of his knife, ready to strike down and take a life!
Jun Ruoxue turned pale!
"Wait, didn’t he want to see ? Why are you tornting a child like this!" Su Pan’er glared at him angrily.
His gaze was icy cold, filled with a tangible killing intent, "Yes, soone wants to see you, but don’t provoke my patience! If you enrage , I will wipe you all out!"
"But you haven’t made a move yet, have you? Doesn’t this an that while you want to kill , you can’t? As such, if I cooperate with you, you will let her go. Deal?" Su Pan’er negotiated with him.
"Sister Pan’er! Don’t..."
Jun Ruoxue scread.
"Don’t cry, Xue’er. It’s just soone who wants to see . I will be fine, believe !"
Su Pan’er assured sincerely, giving Xue’er a steadfast look.
Jun Ruoxue shook her head relentlessly, trying to reach out and pull her, but she was held down by the four steel knives and could not break free, so she kept crying.
"Sister Pan’er, don’t go! You can’t go, don’t go..."
At her crying, Ke’er and Aunt Xiao and the others also started crying, especially Ke’er, who cried louder than anyone else.
"Why are you all crying? I am not going away forever, stop crying!"
Su Pan’er shook her head, ignoring the crying of everyone else, and walked out of the Hall of Great Strength with a straight back and lifted head.
The leader also followed her and flashed her a grim grin, "You sure know when to pick your battles. But you won’t be so lucky in the future!"
"Because I’m afraid of death, isn’t it better to know when to pick your battles?"
Su Pan’er didn’t try to hide her thoughts, speaking her mind bluntly. Taking this opportunity, she carefully observed everything around her.
There seed to be even more soldiers surrounding them!
Seeing this, Su Pan’er felt a chill run down her spine for Qin Yi.
She had no idea how things were going with Qin Yi!
Su Pan’er guessed right, ever since the Scripture Pavilion caught fire, causing chaos, a small courtyard in Huangjue Temple had turned into a river of blood!
Qin Yi stood directly in front of the main gate!
He stood like one man guarding his post against tens of thousands!
The assassins who ca to kill him were one wave after another, each more densely packed and agile than the last!
Qin Yi fought ten n at once, slaying the incoming enemies.
Blood flowed like a river!
Bodies piled up like mountains around him, the tranquil Huangjue Temple was swept up in a storm of blood and violence!
