At that moment, Zeng Anmin stared fixedly at Mr. Xin.
Rage threatened to burst from his eyes.
He had heard Mr. Xin's words clearly just now.
Bai Ziqing... had all four limbs broken...
"Crack~"
His hand clenched into a fist, and the sound of his knuckles grinding together rang out.
Tap.
He took a step forward.
He reached out and caught her.
A soft, warm body fell into his arms.
The Empress only felt heat envelop her body, as though she had fallen into the warm glow of candlelight.
Zeng Anmin held the Empress with one arm.
Slowly, he emerged from the darkness.
He held the Empress in his arms.
Step by step, he walked forward.
With every step he took, his aura grew stronger.
His gaze remained locked on Mr. Xin before him.
"Old dog."
"Say what you just said again."
Zeng Anmin's expression was blank.
There was not a trace of emotion in his voice either.
It was as though he were merely having an ordinary conversation.
"Hm?"
The instant Mr. Xin saw Zeng Anmin appear—
His brows furrowed sharply.
"There's someone else??"
A trace of astonishment showed on his face.
"Why... didn't I sense him just now??"
Whoosh!!!
With Zeng Anmin's appearance—
Everyone present turned to look at him.
The Empress raised her head in a daze.
She looked at Zeng Anmin's chin above her.
That utterly ordinary face seemed to radiate a faint light at this moment.
Without realizing it—
Her face reddened slightly.
She struggled free and stepped out of Zeng Anmin's embrace.
"Brother Wu, I have a secret treasure to help me. I'm fine."
Lowering her head, she lightly patted the... jade pendant at her waist??
Where was my jade pendant??!
She abruptly looked up in alarm.
She looked toward Mr. Xin.
Sure enough,
