3053 Unable to Hold Back
At that very moment, the raven bone fan in Duan Yue’s grasp transformed into a streak of light, morphing into a keen-edged sword. Accompanied by a fearsome aura, the demon fire surged towards Ling’s back.
Thus, she had no choice but to clench her teeth and endure Duan Yue’s sword strike. In an instant, she reached Second Qin’s side, extending her hand to receive the black lotus flower powder before her.
Her expression instantly shifted. With a pfft, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and her figure swayed twice.
Second Young Sir wasn’t faring any better.
Even with Ling shielding him, his current cultivation level lagged significantly behind Mo Lian’s.
Despite Ling’s intervention, a portion of the remaining force reached him, contorting his expression.
As Second Young Sir Qin, supported by Ling, hastily retreated, he extended his hand, producing a set of transfer talisman matrices.
The light and shadow of the talisman matrices flickered, and the figures in front of him vanished simultaneously.
Mo Lian halted after two steps, restraining Duan Yue, who sought to pursue.
Meanwhile, the perplexed Mu Xingchen arrived with a pallid face. He couldn’t help but break free and inquire, “Did they escape?”
“Yes,” Duan Yue affirmed, casting a glance at Mu Xingchen. “Are you alright, Big Bro?”
Mo Lian shot a sidelong glance at Duan Yue, thinking, ‘This guy addresses me so intimately as “Big Bro.” He truly doesn’t consider me an outsider!’
Qiao Mu, with an indifferent expression, observed Second Young Sir Qin’s party swiftly making their escape before shifting her gaze to Mo Lian and Duan Yue.
She shook her petite head helplessly, reflecting, Men can be quite belligerent.
While she contemplated this, Mo Lian swiftly walked to her side and lifted her up. He gazed at her with a peculiar expression and inquired, “Qiaoqiao, are you feeling unwell? Were you captured by Second Qin and the others? Did they harm you?”
Qiao Mu spotted Crown Prince Mo. “I don’t think they would dare resort to violence against me.”
“What about you?”
“What’s wrong with my appearance?” The little one snorted. She raised her petite head slightly and said calmly, “Isn’t it quite nice?”
“Pfft.” Duan Yue burst into laughter, showing no sign of acknowledging her pride.
Meanwhile, Mu Xingchen, bewildered, scrutinized Qiao Mu and exclaimed, “Younger Sister, how did this happen? What happened to you?”
“Big Bro, don’t worry!” Duan Yue laughed, cutting off Mu Xingchen, who spoke anxiously. He smiled and said, “Knowing Qiaoqiao for so many years, I can bet she concocted a talisman for herself!”
Mu Xingchen couldn’t help but break loose, and his mouth twitched. He curiously gazed at his Younger Sister. “Younger Sister, is what Duan Yue said true?”
“What does he know?” Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao snorted, her expression mischievous.
“Qiaoqiao, during that time when you pretended not to know us, and even your family, did you use a peculiar talisman to transform yourself?” Duan Yue suddenly felt the need to be truthful.
Seeing Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao’s petite face becoming increasingly impassive, he sensed that maybe he should stick to the truth. Based on his knowledge of the little one, the more her heart crumbled, the calmer she appeared on the surface.
“You’re talking nonsense!” Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao retorted with a rawr.
