Qiu Yan stopped and looked at Qiu Yumei seriously: "Aunt, trust Second Uncle."

She never felt that her second uncle was unworthy of Jiang Liu.

In her heart, her second uncle was a pillar of strength.

"Mm." Qiu Yumei nodded, hoping that time would pass quickly so she could see her second brother get married sooner and feel at ease sooner.

She too, gets confused when she cares.

The two walked slowly, and along the way, they entered a narrow alley.

Suddenly, a sound rang out as it hit the ground.

A woman in a tight-fitting outfit suddenly landed beside Qiu Yan, blocking their path.

"Who are you?" Qiu Yumei's heart, which had been hanging in suspense for a little while, suddenly jumped again.

How did a female thief suddenly appear in broad daylight?

Qiu Yan pulled her aunt behind her, glanced indifferently at the woman in front of her, and then walked around her.

Swish... that's the sound of a sword leaving its sheath.

The woman drew her long sword and held it against Qiu Yan's face.

Qiu Yan stepped back to protect her aunt, "Who dares to block my way!"

"The one who'll take your life!" The woman's words were cold and chilling, making Qiu Yumei's legs go weak with fear.

This is terrible! My God, this woman is more than just a female thief; she's practically a female demon.

"Xiao...Xiao Yan, we haven't...we haven't offended anyone recently."

"Who will take whose life is still uncertain!" The woman's words were cold, but Qiu Yan's were even colder.

"Hmph, you're so young, but you've got quite the nerve!"

Without saying a word, the woman stepped forward and swung her sword at Qiu Yan.

"Xiaoyan, be careful!" While worried about Qiu Yan, Qiu Yumei also glared at her and questioned, "Who are you, woman? Why are you hurting people for no reason!"

"Auntie, run!" Qiu Yan pushed Qiu Yumei aside and kicked the woman's sword away in mid-air.

The woman was surprised that Qiu Yan, who looked so frail, could dodge her attacks so easily.

She swung her sword again, and Qiu Yan bent over and flipped backward. Just as the woman stepped forward again, she bent to the side and quickly kicked out, striking the woman straight in the chest.

The two instantly engaged in combat.

...The scene was extremely dangerous. Qiu Yan had to protect her aunt while also fighting back.

She used all her strength to fight the woman in front of her to a draw.

Overwhelmed with fear, Qiu Yumei forgot to breathe, her eyes fixed on the scene of Qiu Yan and the woman fighting, afraid that Qiu Yan would be harmed in any way.

"Ling Qi and Ling Ba, you two come out here!"

At Qiu Yan's command, two more figures appeared in a flash, Ling Qi and Ling Ba, blocking Qiu Yan's path.

Ling Qi: "Cousin Xiaoyan, it's really not easy for you to use me like this."

Qiu Yumei then realized that they were not outnumbered. "Why didn't you two come out sooner?" she said, patting her wildly beating heart.

When the woman saw that Qiu Yan had come to help, she thought to herself, "I was careless."

Qiu Yan: "Stop being cheeky, grab her!"

The two nodded, then simultaneously attacked the woman.

This woman possesses exceptional martial arts skills, but her opponents are Ling Qi and Ling Ba.

After an incense stick had burned, she collapsed to the ground, covered in wounds.

Ling Qi finished his stance, wiped the blade, and then pointed the sword at the woman's neck. "Xiao Yan, what should we do with this woman?"

Ling Ba looked at the woman and asked coldly, "Who sent you?"

The woman spat out a mouthful of blood, then wiped her lips. "If you want to kill, then kill. Why waste time talking?"

"Then I won't hold back." Ling Qi raised his hand and stabbed the woman in the lower abdomen with his sword.

The woman winced in pain, glaring fiercely at Ling Qi. "Give me a quick death."
