Qiu Xu and Qiu Ling'er were pulled into the courtyard by Qiu Yan.
On the way to the hospital, she explained to her younger siblings what she had done that day, including purchasing servants.
The servants greeted Qiu Xu and his sister respectfully.
In the courtyard, Cao and her daughter Zhu Juan had a brief encounter. The two were busy going in and out of the kitchen.
"Master is back!" Cao called out clearly and hurriedly began to set the food on the table.
Zhu Juan began setting out the plates and chopsticks.
Qiu Ling'er and Qiu Xu were full of doubts when they saw the playful little girl in the courtyard, but when they saw her face clearly, their serious expressions turned into smiles.
"Sister, what's wrong with you..." Qiu Ling'er had just asked when Qiu Yan suddenly covered her mouth.
Qiu Xu glanced at the direction of the courtyard wall out of the corner of his eye, his expression suddenly tightening.
He took two steps toward Zhu Juan, snatched a pair of bamboo chopsticks from her hand, aimed at the dark figure outside the wall, and swiftly threw them out.
The bamboo chopsticks flew out quickly along the curve, and Qiu Ling'er followed closely behind. She ran towards the courtyard wall in two or three steps, and with light leaps, she jumped over the wall.
Instantly, the sounds of fighting erupted outside the courtyard.
The whole process happened in an instant, leaving the servants in the courtyard stunned and speechless.
As soon as Qiu Yan stepped out of the door, she discovered two men in black lying on the ground.
And coincidentally, their own bamboo chopsticks struck both of them on the upper body at the same time.
Qiu Yan had a gut feeling that these men in black had been watching her all day.
However, they haven't been able to find Gu Xiaoran, which is why they haven't taken action yet.
Qiu Xu and Qiu Ling'er were engaged in a fierce battle with two men dressed in tight-fitting clothes.
These two were the secret guards left behind by He Lin.
They were amazed by the boy and girl before them, who possessed such courage at such a young age.
"It's a misunderstanding."
Qiu Ling'er: "Hmph, sneaking around like that, you're obviously not good people."
The younger brother's moves were compact and powerful, and the younger sister was no less formidable. In close combat, despite her petite frame, she moved swiftly and dealt with the two of them with deadly strikes.
However, it is clear that the younger brother and sister are no match for the two in front of them.
Qiu Yan didn't step forward; she knew that the two men wouldn't hurt her younger siblings.
Her eyes suddenly shifted, and a hidden arrow shot out swiftly.
Suddenly, a muffled groan was heard, and a man in black staggered and fell to the ground.
He clutched his aching abdomen, looking at Qiu Yan with resentment.
He had been so discreet, yet this girl still managed to find him.
“Mother…” Gu Xiaoran caught up and looked at the man in black on the ground with resentment. This man must be in cahoots with the group of men in black from yesterday.
"Yu'er, who let you out? This world is not peaceful. Xiao Ran even went to Shangjin because of this. How can you still be so willful? Go back now."
As Qiu Yan spoke, she... let go of her hand.
She glared at Gu Xiaoran, who looked embarrassed and quickly looked away.
Yu'er? Taking advantage of Qiu Yan's momentary lapse in attention, the man in black struggled to his feet, attempting to escape.
Although these warriors had long since disregarded life and death, none of them wanted to die if they could live.
"Trying to run away? Not so easy." Seeing this, Qiu Yan stepped forward to stop them.
Instantly, the two began to fight.
The four people in the distance spotted the man in black ahead and quickly got closer.
The man in black panicked instantly; it seemed he was not going to survive today.
His mouth was slightly open, and he was about to commit suicide by poison when Qiu Yan grabbed his neck.
Perhaps it was because Qiu Yan's strength was insufficient, which gave him a chance to catch his breath.
He pushed off with his feet, feinted at Qiu Yan, then lightly touched the ground with his toes and instantly flew away.
As he fled, his heart pounded violently, as if it would leave his body at any moment.
Qiu Yan took two steps, then stretched out her arm to stop the four people who were chasing after her.
"Don't pursue a desperate enemy."
The two guards tried to give chase, but it was too late.
