"Who...is it? Where is the villain now?" Lu Jia's eyes were filled with...fear.
Qiu Yan actually responded to him, which made him very happy.
However, the person who could injure Qiu Yan to such an extent must have been extremely powerful.
He can't even beat Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan said softly, "The King of Hell's Palace."
"This... I wouldn't dare." Lu Jia's attempt to flatter him backfired. "I knew it, you're the type to hold a grudge."
Upon hearing this, the workers were shocked and went about their own business.
They dared not inquire about Qiu Yan's affairs.
The two people on the second floor had different expressions.
Tang Yi thought to himself, "It seems they didn't let me suffer a loss."
He got up and went downstairs, walking towards Qiu Yan, with Song Jiao following closely behind.
"Qiu Yan, have you been doing good and eliminating evil for me again lately?"
With war looming at the border—no, it was already imminent—bandits were rampant, and he was caught completely off guard.
He was constantly preoccupied with these trivial matters, as well as the war on the border.
"Where are the robbers? Do you know their hideout?"
Qiu Yan shook her head. The stronghold was in Shangjin, and Tang Yi couldn't control it.
"Lord Tang, do you know how the war is going at the border?"
"Sigh." Tang Yi kept shaking his head and sighing when the topic came up.
"The war is imminent, perhaps in a few days, or perhaps even tonight..."
"Lord Tang!" Song Jiao interrupted Tang Yi. She knew that Qiu Yan's fiancé was the general from Shangjin, and she didn't want to see Qiu Yan worry about it.
However, the thought of her brother kept her awake night after night.
She knew that the instigator of this war was her brother.
Looking at the scars on Qiu Yan's face, she instantly felt that the girl was much more open-minded than her.
Because of this, she didn't want to see anyone and always covered her face with a white veil, but the girl didn't care about other people's opinions.
With the recovery of her cheek, she believed that it wouldn't be long before the girl's face would also return to normal.
Qiu Yan took inventory of the goods and checked the accounts. After a busy day, it was getting late.
It was nearly dusk when we came out of Xingyue Tower.
In the courtyard, Lu Geng and Lu Gui were guarding the gate.
Upon seeing Qiu Yan return, he hurriedly opened the door to greet her.
Qiu Yan's scars were too eye-catching, but Lu Geng and the other man didn't dare to ask too many questions.
With the number of deliverymen increasing, Lu Geng and Lu Gui now serve as guards at the Qiu residence, specifically responsible for the security of the courtyard.
Qiu Yan only entrusts important positions to people she trusts.
"elder sister."
Two voices rang out at the same time; it was the younger brother and sister, returning together.
Because he had moved to a new house, Qiu Xu would always send his younger sister home after school before returning to the village to practice martial arts with his master.
Unexpectedly, I ran into my sister as soon as I arrived at the courtyard gate today.
When Qiu Yan turned around, Qiu Xu and Qiu Ling'er were both quite agitated when they saw her injured profile.
Qiu Ling'er immediately rolled up her sleeves, ready to find the culprit and settle scores. Qiu Xu's knuckles cracked as he also pressed for answers, asking who had hurt his sister.
Qiu Yan exhausted all her words in an attempt to appease her younger siblings.
She reiterated that she was careless and had been attacked by robbers.
These words made Qiu Ling'er feel a little scared, and Qiu Xu was half-believing and half-doubting.
How could an ordinary robber be a match for the older sister?
Don't think he doesn't know; when his sister takes action, no one can possibly curry favor with her.
Since the older sister intended to keep it a secret, she naturally didn't want him and her younger sister to worry too much.
Qiu Xu complied and didn't ask any more questions, but her little heart couldn't find peace.
I don't know if it's related to my senior brother or if my sister offended someone outside.
His hands were clenched tightly, his eyes filled with anger and unease.
