”But Master, that woman is injured. If you chase after her, she should …”

”You can't get much out of her even if you get her.” Xiao Qing closed her eyes, her heart felt as if something was pressing down on her, as though something was stuck in her throat: ”Moreover … I think I've already guessed who it is. ”

”Master already knows?” Mo Lin came over in his wheelchair. He stopped crying as he laid on his lap, but there were still tears at the corner of her eyes. She waved her little hand and was about to say something.

”Right.” Xiao Qing Qing walked over and hugged the little guy. ”Although I'm not very sure, it's just that … ”I hope that I've guessed wrongly this time. If it really is that man, then things will be difficult.”

Wang Mang frowned and exchanged glances with Mo Lin. A grave expression flashed across his face.

They had followed their master for over a year, but they had never seen him show such an expression.

”Ah ~” Blinking her eyes, she cutely placed her hand on Xiao Qing Ran's chest.

Xiao Qingran held the child in her arms tighter. It was unknown if she was saying this to herself or to her, ”It's alright, little guy. No matter who's mother is, they will always protect you.”

Protect you and protect Qianhan, no one can touch her family.

Everyone knew that she wouldn't be able to come over for the next few days. The truth was that the following journey was indeed a bit too peaceful, but that wasn't because of the woman's injury.

Currently, in a tent at the center of the Barracks, a man dressed in an ink-colored robe stood with his hands behind his back. He had his head lowered and was playing with a whip in his other hand.

Although the wound on her palm had already healed, there was still a trace of blood left. At this moment, the woman had already removed her human skin mask. Her exquisite face that was similar to Xiao Qing Qing's had a hint of sickness, most likely due to being heavily injured.

”Qingdai, you're getting bolder and bolder these days. You're not even going to listen to what I say, are you?” The man's tone was cold, without a single trace of warmth: ”What? Do you think that you already have a pair of hard wings and that you don't need to take my words to heart? ”

”Mistress, I don't think so. I will never forget your kindness for the rest of my life.”

”You don't dare to forget?” The man sneered. With a mocking tone, he said, ”Three years ago, I rescued you from a pile of corpses to teach you martial arts. I wanted you to help me with something, not to disrupt my plans!”

”Your subordinate doesn't have one, your subordinate is just …”

The man's whip suddenly lashed out towards Qing Dai, hitting her hard on the back. Qing Dai had already suffered from internal injuries, and now, she was bleeding from the corner of her mouth. Her face turned ugly, but she didn't dare to complain and continued in a humble manner, ”It's your servant's fault. Please don't be angry, master.”

”Of course it's your fault.” The man turned around, but his handsome face was filled with a dark chill. His dark eyes were filled with a murderous intent that came from the depths of hell: ”I told you to bring her back, but I didn't tell you to touch her. How many lives do you think you'll get if she hurts you? ”

He had been searching for her for so many years. If he was hurt by these idiots, he definitely wouldn't let them off lightly.

Qing Dai clenched her fist tightly, hatred shining in her eyes, but her tone remained the same, ”Mistress is fine, but our people are all in the hands of her subordinates, and even I …” ”Although that woman has lost her inner force, her kung fu skills are not weak.”

Why was she like this? She had been following her master for three years now, and she couldn't help but wonder what could possibly have made her master into such a state.

”Ho … Naturally, she's not weak. On the other hand, I'm the one who's in a mess because I care about her. Indeed, you bunch of useless people can't hurt her.” The man curled his lips, a hint of pride appearing in the depths of his dark eyes.

As expected, she was outstanding even in this kind of place. She was truly worthy of being called …

Qing Dai's body stiffened. She wanted to explain herself, but she was afraid that she would anger this man, so she didn't dare to say more. Instead, she lowered her body and asked, ”Do you need me to send more people?”

”No matter how many people you send over, it's useless. It's a waste of energy, the two armies are about to start a war, I don't have that much time to waste on you.”

”Yes …” Although she was unwilling, she still gritted her teeth and agreed.

Even if Master wanted to protect her, but … Although he didn't know the reason yet, it didn't matter. Sooner or later, he would step on that woman's head.
