The girl, however, was not afraid, stood tall, and snorted:
"What do you intend to do?"
She had the stance that, even if she couldn’t win, she would fight to the bitter end.
But Chu Qing noticed her eyes shifting, constantly looking for an opportunity to break through.
Evidently, she wasn’t as brainless as she seemed...
Chu Qing shook his head:
"Considering it’s your first offense, and indeed they were wrong initially, we’ll leave it at this.
"If there is a next time, the outcome will be the same.
"Everyone, disperse!"
His voice slowly spread, entering the ears of everyone present, sounding like a thunderclap in their ears.
They dared not delay and promptly turned to leave.
Xia Wanshuang didn’t leave, though, seemingly wanting to approach Chu Qing, but he ignored her. After handling the matter, he turned and left directly.
But just then, a disheveled figure, looking like a beggar, came into his view.
This person was not slow, disappearing from Chu Qing’s sight in the blink of an eye.
"Ling Beichen?"
Chu Qing’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he leaped forward, chasing after him directly.
Xia Wanshuang paused, hurriedly stepping forward two steps:
"Wait!!"
"Wait for what?"
The young woman in brocade grabbed her wrist:
"That guy isn’t anything good either, why are you looking for him?"
"I..."
Xia Wanshuang initially wanted to say she might know him, but the words rolled around in her mouth and were swallowed back.
She broke free of the young woman in brocade’s hand, cupping her fists slightly:
"Thank you for saving me."
The young woman in brocade waved her hand casually:
"Just a small favor."
Xia Wanshuang had no mood for idle chatter with her, intending to pursue once more... but upon looking up, there was no sign of those two anymore.
