Shen Qingtang appeared to shrink back in fright.
In reality, she was secretly holding a silver needle hidden in her sleeve between her fingertips, waiting for the refugees to get closer and for the man in black in the shadows to completely lower his guard.
Just as the refugee's hand was about to touch Shen Qingtang, she suddenly "slipped".
He leaned to the side, seemingly in a panic, but actually precisely avoided the refugee's hand.
At the same time, with a flick of his finger, two silver needles flew out with a "whoosh" and accurately pierced the knee of the leading refugee.
"ah!"
The refugee screamed, his knees buckled, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud, his whole body convulsing in pain.
The knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Seeing how vicious Lu Jiaojiao was, pushing her own mother into a pit of fire, Shen Minglan and Shen Mingzhao could no longer hold back.
Shen Minglan broke free from the rope that wasn't tied tightly enough.
She rushed forward and slapped Lu Jiaojiao across the face, her voice crisp and clear: "You bastard! Qingtang is your mother, how could you do this to her!"
Shen Mingzhao also angrily rebuked, "Such a vicious heart at such a young age, what a waste of raising you!"
Lu Jiaojiao's head was knocked to the side by the blow, her cheeks instantly turning red and swollen, but her eyes flashed with resentment and venom.
The next second, a strange power suddenly erupted from her body.
Like an invisible shockwave, it blew Shen Minglan and Shen Mingzhao away unexpectedly.
He was sent flying by this force and crashed heavily into a pillar of the dilapidated temple.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood and lay on the ground in a sorry state, struggling to get up.
Everyone was stunned. No one expected that Lu Jiaojiao, who looked so delicate, would have such great strength!
Shen Qingtang's eyes darkened.
He knew in his heart that this was the evil spirit inside Lu Jiaojiao's body causing trouble.
She strode forward, grabbed Lin Peirou who was still in a daze, and pulled Su Lingyu, who was huddled to the side, over.
He pushed the two women in front of the refugees, his voice trembling with panic: "Heroes! Don't look for me! Those two are much prettier than me, with such fair and delicate skin, go find them!"
As she spoke, she suddenly covered her face with both hands. When she released them, her features were distorted, her mouth and eyes were crooked, drool kept dripping from the corners of her mouth, and her eyes became dull, making her look like a complete idiot.
The refugees, who had been staring at Shen Qingtang, frowned and backed away with disgust upon seeing her appearance: "Pah! How did you suddenly turn into this grotesque creature? It's disgusting!"
The leader of the refugees rubbed his aching knees.
His gaze shifted to Lin Peirou and Su Lingyu.
Lin Peirou was delicate and pretty, and Su Lingyu was also quite attractive; they were much more pleasing to the eye than the crooked-mouthed and slanted Shen Qingtang.
He immediately waved his hand: "Bring these two over! Forget about this idiot, he's disgusting to look at!"
Lin Peirou and Su Lingyu were terrified and struggled desperately, crying out, "No! Let me go!"
Su Lingyu screamed and looked at Su Lingwei: "Save me! I don't want to go with these refugees!"
Lu Jin wanted to plead for mercy, but was kicked hard by the refugee and could only curl up on the ground, clutching his stomach, not daring to even breathe.
Shen Qingtang stood there, seemingly dazed, drooling.
