Before Ying Xu could react to what was happening, he saw Xu Qi raise his hand and quickly form a hand seal in front of his chest, while his lips moved rapidly as if he were chanting some incantation.

Immediately afterwards, Ying Xu heard a loud sound:

"The Supreme Holy Law is vast and boundless; we urge you to obey the Emperor's decree!"

His vision was quickly engulfed by a golden light, and only when the golden light gradually faded did Ying Xu realize that his hands and feet had somehow regained their freedom.

Xu Qi lay on the ground, his face pale, barely breathing, seemingly on the verge of death.

Upon seeing this, Ying Xu immediately prepared to go out and call for help, but Xu Qi, who was still awake, grabbed his ankle:

"I'm fine. If you're leaving, take me with you!"

Before he could finish uttering the last word, Xu Qi completely lost consciousness.

Ying Xu originally intended to carry Xu Qi out, but as soon as he picked him up, he realized that although Xu Qi looked thin, he was actually much heavier than he had imagined.

When Ji Qian arrived at the scene, Ying Xu was still struggling with how to move Xu Qi.

Ji Qian didn't rush to move Xu Qi. Instead, she first went forward and carefully examined him before letting out a sigh of relief and reassuring Ying Xu:

"He's fine. He's just exhausted from overexertion. He'll be fine after a while."

Ying Xu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. If Xu Qi really got into trouble because of him, he probably wouldn't live much longer. Not to mention public opinion, Ji Qian alone would probably not let him off the hook.

After confirming that Xu Qi was alright, Ji Qian took out her phone and took two pictures of the cabinet before bending down and picking Xu Qi up.

Considering that Xu Qi was injured, Ji Qian did not choose her usual carrying posture this time, but instead chose the gentlest princess carry.

Ying Xu followed behind Ji Qian, watching Xu Qi's legs swaying in the air because they were too long. He couldn't help but feel a little envious, as his height had not yet exceeded 180 cm.

Thank you, Brother Xu Qi, for protecting our Xu Bao!

Suddenly, I looked at Xu Qi with new respect.

[Sobbing, I'm so glad Qiqi is okay.]

To put it simply, the mana bar is empty and the player is waiting for it to regenerate.

[Ahhhh, it's a gentle princess carry! I want one too!!]

I won't say who's envious.

For a moment, I didn't know who to envy.

[As expected, Xu Qi is the one who got the female lead's script!]

[Help! I can never watch Xu Qi's domineering CEO dramas the same way again!]

[Sister Qian probably won't be able to play maids and followers anymore after this, right?]

It's okay, my sister Qian can play a servant or a security guard.

Ji Qian: I really will thank you.

"My God, what's wrong with Xu Qi?"

Hearing footsteps, Han Mengyao rushed forward to greet them, but she never expected to see the two of them in such unique outfits.

She hesitated almost imperceptibly for a moment before regaining her composure and stepping forward to inquire about the situation.

"It's nothing serious, I'm just exhausted."

Ji Qian gave a brief explanation, then turned her attention to the backpack she had placed on the ground earlier:

"I think I still have some rope in my bag, Mengjie, could you help me get it?"

While Han Mengyao was getting the rope, Ying Xu, at Ji Qian's prompting, led the others aside for a small meeting. The main topic of the meeting was what he had just experienced.

The assistant director, who was worried about not having a chance to find out the truth, didn't care about Ji Qian when he saw this. He ran a few steps and quickly took the best camera position next to Ying Xu.

Seeing that the three cameramen were all captivated by Ying Xu's story, Ji Qian quietly took two steps back, letting herself be enveloped in darkness once more.

Then, using her waist strength to move her shoulders and arms, she smoothly flung Xu Qi, who was originally being held horizontally in front of her, onto her back.

Xu Qi didn't utter a sound throughout Ji Qian's entire action.

If Ji Qian hadn't already gotten used to the other party's behavior, she might have also doubted Xu Qi's vital signs.

When Han Mengyao found the rope and returned, she saw Ji Qian holding a sickle in her right hand, a flashlight in her left, and a strange figure on her back.

For a fleeting moment, the classic melody echoed in Han Mengyao's mind—a chicken in her left hand, a duck in her right, and a chubby baby on her back! Ee-ya-ee-yo-wei!

Ji Qian had no idea how outrageous the character settings Han Mengyao had arranged for her and Xu Qi were.

She took the rope and, with Han Mengyao's help, successfully secured Xu Qi firmly to her back.

After confirming that Xu Qi wouldn't slip up, Ji Qian stopped Ying Xu's increasingly outrageous narrative style:

"There's still a section on the right that hasn't been checked yet. Mengjie and I will go take a look around. Don't wander off."

After speaking, Ji Qian pulled Mi Yesi aside, handed her the pistol from her bag, and whispered instructions on how to use it. Ji Qian then added:

"If anything unexpected happens later, just take action without hesitation."

"Okay, I understand. You all, please be careful too."

Looking at Ji Qian's slightly solemn expression, Mi Yesi, unusually, refrained from saying anything unpleasant.

When Ji Qian escorted Mi Yesi back into the crowd, she gave Ying Xu a wink. Only after confirming that Ying Xu had received the message did Ji Qian feel relieved and leave with Han Mengyao.

Led by Han Mengyao and aided by Ji Qian's martial arts skills, the two quickly cleared out the remaining rooms on the right.

Just as they finished searching the last room and were about to return, they heard a loud scream coming from the direction of the altar, followed by several loud gunshots.

"It's Miyesi's voice!"

Ji Qian reacted quickly and immediately pulled Han Mengyao towards the altar.

On the altar, Miyesi held guns in both hands, her body trembling uncontrollably, but her eyes were sharp as she stared ahead.
