Vol 10 Chapter 20 (2/2)

“It’s too troublesome for Xuan De to come back by the same way so I’ll make an exit for you.”

“Eh?”

“Lord Xu Shu, is this place alright?”

“Yes, there will be no problems. This area will not affect the structural integrity of the room.”

“Alright. Xuan De, please move away.”

“W-wait!” I yelled as I hurriedly backed up.

*Bang*!!!

A thunderous sound filled my ears as the very ground shook and a thick cloud of dust came for me.

Wu! I lowered my head and turned around as I hugged the child tightly to protect her. After what seemed to be an endless tide of dust clouds, the room brightened up and debris covered the entire room. My ears were ringing and I had difficulty getting up.

“My lord, are you alright?”

“Un…” I blinked and looked to the side as someone helped me up, “Chen Dao huh…”

“My lord, we can’t stay here for long. Let’s get out as soon as possible.”

“Ah…” I was still a little dazed and looked behind to see that there was a gigantic hole in the wall.

“I agree!” I exclaimed as I understood the situation we were in and hurriedly got up with Chen Dao’s help and began to run out but I was squatting for a rather prolonged period of time and had some difficulty running.

“My lord!” Chen Dao exclaimed and tried to support me but I shook my head.

“Help me support the child’s head.”

“Oh.”

“Wu…” The girl seemed agitated and was about to cry so I rubbed her head.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. Everyone here is a good person.”

“Big brother, this is…” Yun Chang asked me as I leapt out of the room.

“Ah, this was the little girl I found in the room.” I replied as I set her down.

“But I searched that room!” Zhou Cang exclaimed nervously.

“She was hiding in the cupboard.” I said in a softer tone, “She should be the sole survivor in this household and must have thought you were part of the bandits.”

“I see…”

I turned back to look at the room and saw that it did not collapse despite the gaping hole made by Feng Xian.

“Xuan De, I felt that it was urgent just now and decided to go ahead and do it.” Feng Xian explained as she came over but I waved at her.

“It’s fine. It was indeed more convenient,” I said and turned to Yuan Zhi, “But you’re really impressive huh? To think you know about construction and architecture.”

“T-that’s nothing…” Yuan Zhi stammered. Looks like she is really bad at handling praise huh?

“Xuan De, I brought a horse.” Yi De said as she brought over her horse by the reins.

“Ah, many thanks, Yi De.”
