Shen Qianxue looked out the window and saw another guard standing there, carrying Su's mother, looking terrified. "M-Commander?"
What's going on?
Why is the head coach here?
It seems they are still on the Su family's side. Wasn't capturing Su's parents an order from the commander-in-chief?
"Put him down now!" Shen Qianxue shouted angrily, her eyes icy.
The guard felt a chill run down his spine, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down. He quickly put Su's mother back on the bed.
Mr. Su rushed back to check on Mrs. Su's condition.
When Yang Jiaoruo heard Shen Qianxue's voice, her whole body stiffened.
Shen Qianxue actually came!
How is that possible? Su Jinxia and Shen Qianxue should both be on the battlefield, so why are they both in Liuli Village?
Yang Jiaoruo felt her vision go black and she could no longer stand.
Seeing Yang Jiaoruo's absent-minded appearance, Zhou Chen hurriedly ran out of the room, through the guest hall, and came to Su's parents.
"Father, Mother, are you both well?"
"Your mother has fainted, but she should be fine, don't worry. Are you injured?"
Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she shook her head, choking back sobs, "I'm fine."
Hearing the lingering sounds of fear in the room, Su Jinxia gently closed her eyes, unable to conceal her heartache, yet a frenzied killing intent still emanated from her entire being.
In an instant, a fierce wind swept through the entire courtyard!
Shen Qianxue panicked as he looked at Su Jinxia. He pursed his lips nervously, then shouted angrily at the guards in the room, "Get out here!"
The guard rushed out and, together with another guard whose bones had been kicked to pieces, crawled on the ground.
"Tell me, who gave you permission to do this?"
Shen Qianxue's black hair flew wildly, exuding an imposing aura. The two guards quickly replied, "It was General Yang who came to find us. She said that we had orders to come with her to Liuli Mountain to capture Su's parents as prisoners. We...we were acting under orders. Please spare our lives, Commander."
At this moment, Su Hu heard that someone had broken into the mountains and come to Liuli Village, so he hurriedly flew over and heard these words as soon as he arrived.
"Hmph! So this is the Ji Army, using the name of benevolence and righteousness to do shady things!"
Shen Qianxue looked at Su Hu, her eyes narrowing. When their eyes met, sparks flew.
The surrounding villagers had already been disturbed by the noise, but seeing the strong winds blowing in the courtyard, they dared not approach.
Su Hu waved his hand, instructing the disciples who had come with him to appease the villagers. He then walked up to Su Jinxia, gently took her wrist, and said affectionately, "I'm sorry I'm late."
Shen Qianxue's gaze fell on the spot where the two were touching, and her fists clenched unconsciously.
Su Jin's aura calmed down, and the gale gradually subsided, as if she had been soothed.
Shen Qianxue's heart clenched suddenly, a sharp pain spreading through her. They... were very close, very trusting.
At this moment, Yang Jiaoruo finally walked out of the room. Su Jinxia gently lifted his eyelids and looked at her, his eyes as cold as the ice and snow on the top of a high mountain.
Yang Jiaoruo turned her head to look at Shen Qianxue, but Shen Qianxue was staring at Su Jinxia and didn't look at her at all.
"Heh..." Yang Jiaoruo chuckled lightly, "It was my idea alone, it has nothing to do with the Ji Army, and it has nothing to do with the commander-in-chief."
One sentence explains everything; the matter couldn't be clearer, no further questions are needed.
Su Hu slightly raised his chin and looked at Shen Qianxue. He didn't bother to waste words with Yang Jiaoruo. He wanted to see how Shen Qianxue, as the commander, would act.
Shen Qianxue stared at Su Jinxia without saying a word, her eyes dark and unfathomable.
For a moment, Shen Qianxue didn't know what she was thinking, but she knew she had to give her an explanation.
Shen Qianxue bowed and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, this was my oversight. I will severely punish everyone involved!"
As she spoke, Shen Qianxue glanced at Su's parents inside the room, "I will definitely come to apologize another day. As long as you and your parents calm down, I'll do anything!"
Su Jinxia slightly curled the corners of her lips, revealing a cold smile, "You are you, and she is she. How long do you intend to protect her?"
Yang Jiaoruo was slightly moved. Was Shen Qianxue protecting her?
Shen Qianxue frowned slightly, not daring to look directly into Su Jin's eyes, "I was wrong in this matter..."
"So, Yang Jiaoruo is completely innocent? How do you plan to punish her? Give her a scolding, or demote her again?"
Su Jinxia's voice was soft, but it was like a heavy hammer, each word striking Shen Qianxue's heart hard.
Shen Qianxue felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. Ah Jin, is she blaming me?
Su Jin chuckled softly, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
"I narrowly escaped death in the mountain-protecting formation. You clearly found out that it was Yang Jiaoruo who did it. She switched my signal arrow, released poisonous insects to kill me, and when that failed, she sent someone to assassinate me and push me off the cliff! Do you dare to say that you really know nothing? But what did you do? You only demoted her from the head to the deputy head."
“Back at Liuli Mountain, I told you that she had poisoned me. I thought that if you knew, you would be able to avenge me, but you didn’t!”
"Why? Because I didn't die, because I didn't hold it against her, you think I'm really not in pain and don't care!"
Yang Jiaoruo looked at Shen Qianxue in surprise; it turned out he knew all of this.
Shen Qianxue was heartbroken. "A-Jin...no." How could she not know her pain and hardship? It's just...Yang Jiaoruo is different...
Shen Qianxue clenched her fists and vowed, "Ah Jin, I will definitely not let her off easily. From now on, I will never let her appear in front of you again."
Su Jin gritted her teeth, a hint of recklessness flashing in her eyes. She spoke softly, "Do you think I still believe you? Do you think she can even leave Liuli Mountain today?"
Shen Qianxue felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from her heart; Su Jin had decided to kill her…
Su Jin moved slightly, her skirt fluttering gently, each step seemingly foreshadowing her murderous intent.
As the two guards passed by, they were so frightened that they huddled up in a ball, wishing they could shrink their heads into their shells like turtles.
As she walked past Shen Qianxue, Shen Qianxue looked at her, her eyes filled with deep affection and struggle.
Su Jin came down to the window, blinked gently, and a moment of tenderness flashed across her eyes. "Take good care of Father and Mother."
These words were spoken to Zhou Chen. Before the anger on Zhou Chen's face could disappear, tears welled up in his eyes, and he nodded fiercely.
Su's father looked at Su Jinxia with even more heartache. He had no idea that his daughter, who came home smiling, had suffered so much hurt and grievance outside!
Su Jin reached out and gently closed the window, blocking the view from inside the room. Then she looked up at Yang Jiaoruo, her killing intent evident.
Yang Jiaoruo gripped her sword tightly, having no doubt that Su Jinxia would pounce on her and fight her to the death.
Shen Qianxue hurriedly walked in front of Su Jin's lower body, blocking Su Jin's view. He urgently promised, "Ah Jin, believe me, I will definitely handle this matter properly."
Su Jinxia's pupils contracted upon hearing this, and her killing intent intensified. Even after all this, she was still protecting him.
