Shangguan Yichen, having reached the foot of the mountain, suddenly spoke.
Mo Qingcheng nodded: "Yes, this matter is quite strange. Brother Li was affected by the pattern, but fortunately someone discovered it..."
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable...
Shangguan Yichen's expression turned serious: "Mother, could it be that someone is resorting to any means necessary to get us out of here as soon as possible?"
Mo Qingcheng paused slightly: "No rush, Mother can make her own arrangements. I can't leave you all behind, not to mention Father and Yue'er..."
As the mother and son walked and talked, Mo Qingcheng became increasingly alarmed. The eldest son was meticulous and insightful. Despite being only a few years old, he saw things more clearly than Bai Yi and the others.
Shangguan Yichen's inner turmoil gradually subsided. Being able to go with his mother was the best outcome; at worst, he could return to the Shangguan family alone, as long as… his mother took his younger siblings with her…
As for Aunt Yue and the others, they probably won't go together. For some reason, Shangguan Yichen had such a strange thought.
As Mo Qingcheng traveled, she would occasionally gather some medicinal herbs. Shangguan Yichen couldn't just stand by and watch, so he put on his icy expression and quickly got to work.
Mo Qingcheng's eyes crinkled as she watched, barely suppressing the urge to chuckle.
Shangguan Yichen paused, "Mother, why haven't we heard anything from Aunt Yue yet?"
Mo Qingcheng was slightly taken aback. Calculating the time, Hei Yi should have returned by now. Could something have happened?
It's not safe for Black One to be alone; he still has a few newbies by his side.
At this moment, Bai Yueniang, whom Mo Qingcheng was worried about, was in a disheveled state, clutching the bundle in her hands tightly.
He was covered in wounds, his clothes torn by sharp objects, hanging pitifully on his body.
"Second Madam, you go first."
"Are you sure you can handle it?" A hint of fierceness flashed in Bai Yueniang's eyes.
Hei Yi laughed in anger: "Second Madam, I'm warning you, never ask a man if he's capable!"
Bai Yueniang: "..."
I don't believe you! You just want to lure the enemy away so you can run away, right?
idiot!
"No! I can't lose you!" A stubborn glint flashed in Bai Yueniang's eyes. "A real man must ensure my safety..."
Hei Yi was deeply moved. Was the Second Madam afraid that he would lose his life?
very nice!
"I won't, Second Madam, please rest assured!" Hei Yi said, wielding his longsword to deflect a volley of arrows. "This can't go on..."
Sooner or later they will either be captured alive or become sitting ducks. As for Hei Shiyi and the others, they have long since scattered or taken the opportunity to escape.
Hei Yi didn't care. No matter what, he had to complete the task assigned by his wife.
With a heavy heart, Hei Yi took advantage of Bai Yueniang's inattention and pushed her down the hillside: "Run!"
"Fool!" Bai Yueniang gritted her teeth and cursed fiercely. She glanced at Hei Yi on the hillside, took a deep breath, forced back the tears in her eyes, and headed towards Bai Yifan's secret base.
After running for an unknown amount of time, Bai Yueniang had no strength left. Her legs were trembling and her palms were scraped. Suddenly, several men in black descended from the sky and blocked her way.
"Run, you little wench!"
"Heh, you little bitch, keep running if you dare!"
The group glared at Bai Yueniang with hatred, wishing they could bore a hole through her.
Bai Yueniang rolled her eyes: "Speak, who exactly are you people? We have no past grudges or recent feuds, so stop spouting nonsense."
The leader of the men in black felt a chill run down his spine: "Do you know who we are?"
Bai Yueniang rolled her eyes and threw them at several men in black. Was she stupid?
"Bullshit! How do you want to die?"
