Qiu Yan thought to herself, "It seems the battle is going well."
Ling Ba lowered his eyes, his whole heart focused on Qiu Yan's injured profile.
Without hesitation, he asked Qiu Yan in a deep voice, "Have you encountered any trouble?"
Qiu Yan nodded slightly: "It's resolved."
She had no reason to lie to these two people.
Even though Qiu Yan spoke casually, Ling Ba was still uneasy. "Who hurt you?"
This unease stems from the general.
They swore to protect the general's woman, even at the cost of their lives.
"It's a long story." This isn't the place to talk, and Qiu Yan didn't want to say anything more at the moment.
Upon hearing this, Ling Qi was somewhat dejected: "It's over, it's over. If the general sees us like this, we might not even know how we died."
"This matter has nothing to do with the two of you. Ling Qi, how is the war going?" Qiu Yan asked.
Ling Qi stopped dwelling on it: "Cousin, you have no idea how much you've helped the general. In this battle, we..."
"Ling Qi!!!"
Ling Qi's words were cut off by Ling Ba's glare.
Ling Qi awkwardly shut up, "Cousin, where did you just say you were going? Let's go..."
"Ling Qi, you bastard!" Before Ling Qi could finish speaking, he was ruthlessly interrupted by a woman's voice, which was so extreme.
He looked up, his displeasure evident as he gazed towards the source of the sound.
"Miss Qin, have I offended you in any way?"
"You... Humph!" Qin Susu puffed out her cheeks and looked at Ling Qi with extreme disgust.
From a young age, she hated evil as if it were her enemy.
Qiu Yan glanced at Qin Susu silently.
She had only known Bai Lu for a few days, yet she was already standing up for her.
This woman is great; she has a strong sense of justice.
Thinking of her aunt calling her for dinner, she said, "You two chat," and turned to leave.
It's almost lunchtime, so she'd better go over early to see if there's anything she can do to help.
However, her words seemed to have little effect on Ling Qi and the others in front of her.
They were each lost in their own thoughts, their expressions varied.
Qiu Yan glanced at her younger brother and cousin, then went to the mountain cabin together, intending to bring Ling'er and the others along.
This is something Ling Qi needs to handle herself; what can she say if she stays behind?
Ling Ba shook his head. Every cause has its effect.
It seems that Ling Qi is no longer a reliable option today.
He silently followed Qiu Yan's figure.
Suddenly, he spotted the figure of the bodyguard.
Ling Ba's first thought was, could it be that the general had sent someone else to protect Qiu Yan?
But he quickly dismissed his suspicions.
He recognized the two men; they were His Majesty's men.
Just as Ling Ba had expected, Ling Qi was so captivated by Bai Lu that he could hardly move.
"Bai Lu, how have you been lately?" As soon as he saw Bai Lu, his body couldn't control itself, and he wanted to get close to her.
However, Bai Lu treated him as nothing.
She can't win a fight, so what can she do?
All Bailu can do is ignore it.
Qin Susu, her previous sweet demeanor gone, said, "What's so good about it? Ling Qi, if you're a man, you have to take responsibility!"
"Did I say I wouldn't take responsibility?" Seeing Bai Lu's protruding belly, Ling Qi did want to take responsibility.
Unfortunately, Bai Lu's attitude towards him prevented him from getting close to her for even a moment.
"You are only responsible for him!" Bai Lu said coldly, pointing to her lower abdomen, as if the child had nothing to do with her.
No, it had nothing to do with her in the first place.
"I will take responsibility for both the child and you," Ling Qi said with a smile, her gaze once again falling on Bai Lu's lower abdomen.
This time, he suddenly had a strange feeling.
This child is his flesh and blood.
