Mu Jingrui didn't respond at all. He just drank his tea and looked at the stage absent-mindedly, his mind full of Shangguan Wanning.
She was so close to him, why should he be thousands of miles away from her?
Suddenly, several big men holding steel knives jumped down from above, scaring the two people who were singing.
There was a flash of knife and a head flew out.
Blood splattered everywhere, frightening the actors on the stage so much that their legs went weak, and even the audience below screamed in fear.
In an instant, the scene became chaotic.
A group of big men came to the private room on the second floor aggressively, and a fight broke out between the two forces.
Yin Yuqing was a lady from a wealthy family. She had never seen such a scene before. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she didn't know what to do.
"What should we do? Should we...should we run too?"
Mu Jingyan was very calm. He held Yin Yuqing's hand and said with a smile, "What are you afraid of? My brother is here. He can come and go freely among thousands of troops, let alone just a few small characters."
At this time she still did not forget to brag about herself. Mu Jingrui really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
He stared at the battle situation intently and found that there were many top masters among this group of people.
Who are they? What are they doing?
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Mu Jingrui's mind.
"Ning'er?"
He reacted, turned to Mu Jingyan and said, "Wait here for me and don't run around." After saying that, he rushed out.
"Eh? Brother, be careful..."
Mu Jingrui opened the door of the private room and found that the narrow corridor was already crowded with people, all rushing towards the stairs.
Most of these were young ladies and maids who were kept in seclusion in the boudoir, and they were all confused for a moment.
Mu Jingrui looked around but didn't see Shangguan Wanning and Lutong. He didn't know which private room they were in, so he had to look for them one by one.
At this time, two big men came towards him with steel knives.
Mu Jingrui condensed his true energy in his palms and struck out with two palms, knocking the two men unconscious. Then he heard Mu Jingyan's cry for help from behind.
"Brother... help me..."
Mu Jingrui was angry and annoyed, so he had to turn around and go back.
Just then, I saw a steel knife stabbing towards Yin Yuqing.
He stood in front of Yin Yuqing, grabbed the big man's pulse with one hand, and kicked the big man away.
"Why did you just come back?"
In fact, Mu Jingrui had just left not long ago.
Mu Jingyan's martial arts skills are not very strong, but they are more than enough to protect himself. However, it would be a bit difficult for him to take care of Yin Yuqing at the same time.
Mu Jingrui was helpless and looked down. There were fewer and fewer people left. Only two gangs were left fighting, and the theater started to catch fire.
"Xiaoyan, follow me." Mu Jingrui said, and then looked at Yin Yuqing, "Miss Yin, I'm sorry."
Before Yin Yuqing understood what it meant, she felt her body lighten and she was picked up and leaped into the air.
This feeling was something she had never experienced before.
Yin Yuqing felt a little scared. Her face was pressed against Mu Jingrui's chest. She felt her cheeks getting hot and her face flushed.
Until Mu Jingrui took her out of the theater and let her go, she was still immersed in the atmosphere just now.
“How terrible…”
"Yeah, have you reported it to the police? Who are those people?"
"Who knows? I don't know how Jingzhao Prefecture did things, allowing so many people to fight openly in broad daylight. I'm going to tell my father when I get back and have him severely punish the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor."
Mu Jingrui was searching for Shangguan Wanning in the crowd that had not yet dispersed. He saw Lu Tong standing at the side door of the theater looking around anxiously, and he immediately ran over.
"Lutong, where is your young lady?"
Lu Tong was already extremely anxious and she burst into tears when she saw Mu Jingrui.
"Master Mu, please find a way to save the young lady... She... She just ran out with me, but I don't know why she suddenly broke in again. What should I do... If something happens to her, then..."
Mu Jingrui's heart ached violently. Seeing the thick smoke billowing in the theater, he rushed in again.
"elder brother!"
It was too late for Mu Jingyan to stop it.
As soon as Mu Jingrui entered the theater, he heard the sound of weapons clashing. At this moment, he really was not in the mood to find out who these people were.
“Ning’er…”
"Jingrui, I'm here..."
With a loud "bang", the stage collapsed instantly.
Mu Jingrui's mind went blank. He just vaguely heard Shangguan Wanning's voice coming from near the stage. Could it be...
He rushed forward regardless of everything. The dust and thick smoke made his vision unclear. He looked around but did not see any trace of Shangguan Wanning.
"Ning'er!"
I called out several times but received no response.
Mu Jingrui was anxious and annoyed. He looked down and saw a handkerchief pressed under the wood. He picked it up in a hurry and found the word "凝" embroidered on it.
It was Shangguan Wanning’s handkerchief.
Could it be that she was pinned down?
Mu Jingrui suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back. He stuffed the handkerchief into his arms and started to move the wood.
At this moment, he completely forgot everything that had happened before. He only knew that if he lost Shangguan Wanning, then all his efforts to succeed would be meaningless.
"Ning'er, you can't be in any trouble... I'm here to save you..."
"Master, the young lady is here."
From the other side blocked by the ruins, loud shouts were heard.
Mu Jingrui was stunned and ran over quickly.
Shangguan Wanning was seen moving a pillar. She had very little strength, and had used up almost all her strength. Her palms were rubbed raw and covered in blood.
"Ning'er, what are you doing?"
Shangguan Yue was drinking tea with his colleagues nearby. When he heard that something happened in the theater, he brought people to check it out. He met Lu Tong at the door and learned that Shangguan Wanning was still inside. He was terrified and anxious.
"Dad, quickly ask someone to move these things away..." Shangguan Wanning was sure that she had heard Mu Jingrui's voice.
She had just escaped with the crowd, but did not see Mu Jingrui in the crowd.
She guessed that Mu Jingrui was still fighting with someone inside. Even though she knew she couldn't help, she couldn't help but look back.
The stage collapsed just now and Shangguan Wanning was very scared. She was worried that Mu Jingrui was buried underneath.
No matter how high a person's martial arts skills are, he is still a flesh and blood body after all.
"Ning'er, there's a fire. The fire is about to spread over here. Let's get out first." Shangguan Yue pulled his daughter and was about to leave.
Shangguan Wanning stood there stubbornly.
"Dad, please, don't go. What if... what if there are still people trapped here... maybe they are waiting for us to rescue them? Dad..."
Shangguan Wanning seemed to see a familiar voice out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head and met a pair of deep eyes.
Is he okay?
Shangguan Wanning subconsciously wanted to run towards Mu Jingrui, but her father grabbed her wrist.
