Mo Qi was the first to come to his senses. Though he knew he and Zi Wei had the same goal, they each had their agenda, and getting Su Man was still his priority.
However, he dispatched the Shadow Guards to deal with the other group first, opting to pursue Zi Wei alone.
As they neared the Marquis’s Manor, Mo Qi shouted at Zi Wei, “Hey, barging into the General Manor like this will tarnish the reputations of the two Misses!”
Zi Wei, unfamiliar with the importance of a woman’s reputation, solely focused on retrieving Su Han and disregarded Mo Qi.
Mo Qi pursued him, earnestly trying to persuade him. “Hand her over to me, or Miss Han’s reputation will suffer, and Miss Su will be implicated as well.”
“Leave.”
Zi Wei ignored him entirely. Disliking trouble, he deposited Su Han in a narrow alley and engaged Mo Qi in combat.
Mo Qi, not one to refrain from retaliation, fought back. The two experts clashed vigorously, stirring up clouds of dust.
Initially intending to reason with Zi Wei, Mo Qi realized his stubbornness and continued fighting.
However, upon seeing a dark figure descend behind Zi Wei, Mo Qi exclaimed, “Miss Han!”
Both Mo Qi and Zi Wei halted their attacks and rushed towards Su Han.
Su Jinxuan’s sword was swift and ruthless, aiming for Su Han’s heart.
“Splurt!”
Su Jinxuan’s eyes widened in horror. “D*mn it!”
He withdrew his sword, but the opportunity to strike Su Han again had passed. Mo Qi charged towards him.
Unable to avoid exposure, Su Jinxuan retreated.
With two injured individuals by his side, Mo Qi reluctantly abandoned the pursuit of the black-clad assailant.
Glancing at Zi Wei, who had shielded Su Han from Su Jinxuan’s blow and was now bleeding profusely, Mo Qi attempted to aid him but was rebuffed. Instead, he lifted the unconscious Su Han and prepared to depart.
However, Mo Qi restrained him. “You should prioritize tending to your injuries first. The Marquis’s Manor is nearby. I’ll bring Miss Han back immediately.”
“No.”
Zi Wei stubbornly assisted Su Han and escorted her back to the Marquis’s Manor to meet Su Yingxue.
Both were stained with blood. Su Yingxue’s countenance darkened upon seeing them. She cried out, “Saint Ruan! Saint Ruan!”
“Hey, I’m here!”
After finishing his grapes, Saint Ruan promptly arrived by Su Yingxue’s side. She carried Su Han into the medicine hut and directed him to assist Zi Wei.
Saint Ruan extended his hands. “Come on, little assassin, let me help you.”
Zi Wei stepped back indifferently, casting a glance at Su Yingxue before departing.
Saint Ruan interjected with both hands. “Hey! How ungrateful! With such severe injuries, where do you think you’re going?”
“Let him be. He only listens to Miss Su.”
Mo Qi sneered. He couldn’t tolerate such single-mindedness. Had he handed Su Han over, there would have been no need for confrontation.
He wouldn’t have been injured!
Yet here he was, refusing proper treatment even after sustaining injuries!
He deserved to be a lifelong pawn, serving others as an assassin!
Seeing Su Han covered in wounds, Su Yingxue had no choice but to prioritize her treatment. After applying the medicine, she seized Saint Ruan and inquired, “How is Zi Wei?”
Initially inclined to refuse, Saint Ruan relented upon seeing Su Yingxue’s busy state and refrained from causing her further distress. “You focus on treating your sister first. I’ll handle the rest!”
After all, the little assassin’s injury was trivial to him. He could manage it easily, sparing Su Yingxue any distractions.
Su Yingxue heaved a sigh of relief. After making sure that Su Han was not in any life-threatening danger, she went to the front hall to report to her grandfather..
