Beneath the vast night sky, in an uninhabited forest.
Three flying swords carved streaks of silver through the night, flying back into Lin Bai's body.
Wherever the flying swords had passed, nothing remained but corpses strewn across the ground.
Uncle Zhang's injuries had eased somewhat. He hurried over to He Qiyun and Li Guxian.
"Misses, are you all right?"
He Qiyun's Lineage had, after all, been born into commerce. She had naturally followed her family's parents and elders on trading journeys everywhere, becoming accustomed to bloodshed and to being injured.
After years of tempering, He Qiyun's state of mind was far more resilient than Li Guxian's.
Even when she had just faced the siege of hundreds of assassins, He Qiyun had not shown the slightest fear. Instead, she had displayed a sharp spirit that would not yield to any man.
"I'm fine."
"Xian'er, are you all right?"
Li Guxian had grown up in a great Lineage, cherished by her parents from childhood and well versed in the classics. Though she also cultivated, her cultivation was not particularly high.
She was the sort of refined young lady who rarely left the inner chambers.

Li Guxian cast a grateful glance at Lin Bai, but then remembered what the crow had said. Her face flushed crimson, and she lowered her head.
Only then did Uncle Zhang react. He immediately clasped his hands and bowed repeatedly to Lin Bai and Chen You in thanks.
"There's no need to be so polite. When we were in Wuzhai Pass City, we received the Shanhe Trading Company's care and agreed to serve as the Shanhe Trading Company's temporary guards."
"Since the Shanhe Trading Company has encountered danger, my brother and I naturally couldn't stand idly by."
