Chapter 1921: She Was in There Before
“We’ll be resting here for a bit,” Zhou Danjin announced.
Everybody automatically sat along both sides of the pa.s.sageway.
“Catch!” Qiao Mu suddenly tossed You Xin a bottle.
You Xin caught it in surprise. She harrumphed at the little stoic who was sitting across from her before applying the medicinal powder to her arm with a grumble.
That fellow had left marks on her arms and neck when hitting her earlier.
It was only right to give her medicine!
Qiao Mu also gave a harrumph before tossing her a bag of food. “Go distribute it.”
You Xin was momentarily dumbfounded. She opened the bundle and saw that there was a lot of food and fruits inside. It was about the same amount as what Qiao Mu and them were eating earlier.
You Xin was elated but did not show it on the outside. She took a portion before pa.s.sing the food on to He Wei.
“For your mentor.” Qiao Mu then tossed two pills at You Xin like she was throwing trash. Afterwards, she turned her head away and hid in Mo Lian’s embrace, not paying them any more attention.
…
You Xin snorted. “You have a bad att.i.tude!”
“Your att.i.tude is bad too!” Qiao Mu turned around to glare at her. When she recalled how she had lost control of her emotions and bawled out loud in front of so many people, she pridefully turned her head aside in embarra.s.sment and buried her face into Mo Lian’s chest.
Crown Prince Mo reflexively caressed her head as he surrept.i.tiously focused his gaze on the prison flickering with purple flames.
“Qiaoqiao.” He asked quietly, “Can you be certain that Fan Qiuhe was the one who created this prison?”
Of course she could be certain. She remembered that rusty metal door the moment she saw it.
She had vaguely caught sight of it when Second Qin carried her out of this prison back then. Even though her memory was fuzzy, she would never forget that familiar scent of blood and stink mixed together.
She was in this place for a full two years!
From a healthy young girl, she turned into a bag of bones and a monster with missing limbs.
Of course it was impossible for her to forget this place!
Qiao Mu was reticent before nodding. “I am certain.”
“Who is it.” Suddenly, they heard the Peony Immortal’s crisp shout, and a palm strike rushed at the wall.
A faint shadow flashed at the end of the path.
Qiao Mu jumped up and hastily gave chase. “Fan Qiuhe!!”
There was no time for everybody to eat. They hastily packed away their food and liquids before running after her.
Soon, everybody could hear the sound of fighting using spiritual energy.
By the time they caught up, they saw that Miss Qiao and Crown Prince Mo were surronded by more than a hundred cyan-clothed men.
Their attacks were swift and fierce, as if they were chopping veggies. They were aiming for the cyan-robed man’s neck. However, a dozen people fell around them in just a few short moments. This forced the encirclement to back away by half an inch.
“Everybody, together!” After Zhou Danjin whistled and led everybody over, they started fighting without warning.
There was nothing to say to these enemies who popped up out of nowhere. They just had to chop them.
Everybody rushed up to besiege the dozen cyan-clothed men, directing their blades at them without mercy.
“Where is that d*mned turtle Fan Qiuhe?” Qiao Mu asked coldly while pressing her dagger against someone’s neck.
“I don’t know!” Just as that cyan-clothed man uttered these words, Qiao Mu’s knife swung down, drawing a line of blood on his neck.
