Everyone from the Jianghu present involuntarily drew their necks in. How could any of them dare say no to You Lian'er now?
Master Kongming, Reverend Demu, Lu Ting, and the others exchanged glances and shook their heads rather helplessly. Finally, Reverend Demu spoke. "The Fang Family most likely had a hand in this. Our priority now is to find a way back to Great Song. Miss Zhang, Young Hero Huang, what are your plans? Will you leave with us, or...?"
Halfway through speaking, Reverend Demu frowned and hurriedly turned around. Just then, a shout came from behind their group. "Friends from Great Song, we are not enemies! Miss!"
"No need to be alarmed, everyone. They are my guards!" You Lian'er said with a smile upon hearing the voice.
The Jianghu folk present visibly breathed a sigh of relief. They had thought their pursuers had caught up.
"Miss, thank goodness you are all right!" Three figures swiftly approached You Lian'er from a short distance away.
These three were the First Rank Hall experts who had stayed behind to hold off the Fang Family experts. All three were now spattered with blood, clearly having suffered serious injuries.
"Where is Fourth?" Although You Lian'er already knew the outcome, she still asked softly.
All three shook their heads slightly without speaking.
"I will remember this blood debt!" You Lian'er sighed.
"As long as you are safe, Miss, Fourth's death was worth it."
You Lian'er shook her head and said no more to them. Then she turned to Reverend Demu. "Naturally, I will not be going with you. As for Young Master Huang..."
At this point, You Lian'er turned her gaze toward Huang Xiao and asked, "Young master, what are your plans?"
Huang Xiao thought for a moment, then cupped his hands toward You Lian'er.
