The powerful pressure brought by the Robber made everyone pause their thoughts. Captain Jia Qian of First Squad had always been responsible, but at this time, he temporarily forgot the city master's orders and only paid attention to the Robber who had suddenly appeared. Now that the Robber had left, his thoughts were still slow to return. At this moment, Lu Ping spoke.
Everyone looked at Lu Ping. Jia Qian and Ku Zhu both had shocked expressions.
It seemed to be a small matter like "returning to one's senses." But when faced with the pressure of the spiritual power of an expert with five connected spirits, "returning to one's senses" was also a kind of resistance. Among so many people, the first to do it was Lu Ping, and he was much faster than everyone else. If he hadn't spoken and broken the mood, who knew how long they would have been immersed in this kind of emotion.
Perhaps this didn't show how high Lu Ping's realm was, but it was enough to show his determination.
Jia Qian couldn't help but look at Lu Ping in a new light, but he still had to fulfill his duty.
"Take him away." Jia Qian indicated to his subordinates.
The members of First Squad all came forward and surrounded Lu Ping, their entire bodies on guard. At the same time, there were people paying attention to Su Tang, using their gazes to ask Jia Qian what to do with Su Tang.
In the end, Jia Qian didn't reply, and Lu Ping didn't say anything. The first to speak was actually Qin Sang.
"Where are you taking him?" Qin Sang asked.
"Taking him back and waiting for the city master's judgment," Jia Qian answered respectfully.
Judgment was not a good word in most situations. Qin Sang furrowed her brow. After looking at Lu Ping, she seemed to suddenly make up her mind. "Leave him to me!"
Jia Qian stilled.
"Miss Qin, what do you mean?" He said carefully. He noticed that Qin Sang had been holding the Kuei sword tightly in her hand. She did not relax even after the robbers left. He was a little uneasy. Originally, he was only thinking about how to hide it from the Qin family and the Liang family when he brought Ling Ziyan back. He didn't think that bringing Lu Ping back would cause any problems.
"This person needs to give our Qin family an explanation," Qin Sang said. At the end of the day, she was still reasonable. She didn't believe whatever she said. With a reason like this, Jia Qian would have an explanation.
But to Jia Qian, an explanation was not enough. The order of the city lord needed to be completed, not an explanation. In order to complete the order of the City Lord. Originally, he would not hesitate and would not have any misgivings, even if it was the four great clans.
But now he had.
What was blocking his way was also the order of the City Lord.
No conflict with the Qin family. This was the order of the City Lord.
However, if they didn't have any conflict with Qin Sang, would they be able to bring Lu Ping back?
Jia Qian was very doubtful. He could see that Qin Sang was in an extremely bad mood. She kept her hand on the hilt of her sword. She looked like she was eager to vent her anger. At the moment, she was patient enough to give him an explanation. Fortunately, the other party was not so domineering to the point of being unreasonable. But if he still didn't know what to do, who knew what this young lady would do next?
Jia Qian didn't want to challenge Qin Sang's mood at all. He waved his hand, and the guards around Lu Ping immediately moved away.
"Then hand him over to Miss Qin to deal with!" Jia Qian said, "If you need any help, please let us know."
"Thank you," Qin Sang said.
"You're welcome." Jia Qian bowed slightly and didn't say anything more. He waved his hand again. All the members of Guard Team One immediately followed him and left.
Only Lu Ping, Su Tang, and Qin Sang were left on the street. Ku Zhu had quietly disappeared at some point, but Qin Sang knew that he must still be nearby, constantly guarding her safety.
The rain was still falling. Lu Ping walked to Su Tang's side and supported her. Su Tang's injuries were much more serious than Lu Ping's. At the moment, she had to lean against the wall to barely stand.
Qin Sang looked at the two of them. She saw their bodies covered in blood. She saw them supporting each other in the rain to stand. Then, they both looked at her.
"What explanation does Miss Qin want from us?" Lu Ping asked.
"Are you … all right?" Qin Sang asked. Her tone was very choppy. She didn't often say these words of concern.
"We won't die," Lu Ping said.
"I'm afraid that your situation will be very dangerous. Come with me!" Qin Sang said.
"Oh?" Qin Sang's answer surprised Lu Ping and Su Tang. They didn't expect that Qin Sang, who had been gnashing her teeth at them, would want to protect them at this time. Of course, the two of them knew what danger Qin Sang was referring to. Xiabong Castellan's forces were slaughtered to this extent. How could this matter be left unsettled?
"Thank you." Lu Ping nodded. He wouldn't accept other people's good intentions, but he wouldn't ignore them.
"But, we'd better go by ourselves!" Lu Ping said. He didn't ask for Su Tang's opinion because he didn't need it. Su Tang definitely thought the same as him. Their path. They wanted to go by themselves. Whether it was life or death, they only wanted to control it themselves.
"Goodbye." Lu Ping said. Su Tang also nodded to Qin Sang. The two supported each other and walked to the end of the street.
Qin Sang stood still. She didn't persuade them or stop them.
The shelter and protection of the Qin family were things that many people were eager to have. Before she knew Lu Ping and Su Tang, Qin Sang also thought so. She didn't believe that anyone would refuse the invitation of the Qin family.
But now, she was not surprised at the result at all.
The two dared to complain about the injustice for a little girl, jumped out to challenge her, the young lady of the Qin family, and even made a bloody road in the street. Would they care about the protection of the Qin family?
Of course, they didn't care.
Because they had their own will and their own choice.
Looking at the figures of the two people getting farther and farther away, Qin Sang suddenly felt a little envious.
She had a high and mighty status, a bloodline that was envied by others, and she was also proud of it.
But what did he lose when he obtained all of this?
She didn't want to kill Ling Ziyan at all. But she had to do it because she had such a status and because she carried this bloodline.
In fact, she also wanted to be like Lu Ping and Su Tang. In order to protect Ling Ziyan, she would fight to her heart's content at all costs. This kind of thing should be done by her.
But what she did was the thing she was most unwilling to do.
The two figures in the dense rain were a little thin, but they were not lonely.
Qin Sang sighed. She silently turned around and walked to the other end of the street. Her path was destined to be different from theirs. She had her glory. Naturally, she had to go through hardships. She was destined to bear it since the day she was born.
In the end, there was only the sound of drizzle falling on the empty street.
It kept raining.
