He found this woman repulsive and didn't want to stay any longer.
Ling Qi froze, her body going weak.
Ling Ba, however, had no scruples whatsoever.
Without saying a word, he went straight up to her.
Bai Lu's mind went blank for a moment, and her eyes turned to Qiu Yan, who was hurriedly packing her things inside the house.
Qiu Yan came out of the house and looked at Bai Lu, whose eyes were filled with resentment.
She was waiting for Qiu Yan to plead for her, but she didn't.
Originally, she felt heartened by Qiu Yan's efforts to rescue her a few days ago, but now she felt utterly disappointed.
It's perfectly reasonable for Qiu Yan to want her dead.
But she... didn't want to die.
She looked at Qiu Yan and shook her head at her.
Because of Qi Heng's attempt to assassinate Qiu Yan, she originally thought that Gu Qian, like her, hated Qi Heng.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qian wanted to kill her because of this.
In fact, Gu Qian also hated Qi Heng, but Xi Qin had killed many people in Dongjin without cause, and Gu Qian was determined to settle this score.
Especially now, Western Qin actually wants to use Dongjin to watch the fire from across the river.
What do they take Dongjin for, some kind of clown?
Some time ago, Qin Feng would occasionally appear, but ever since he discovered the person's identity, the person had vanished into thin air.
Gu Qian suspected that he had gone to Northern Qi.
Just as Ling Ba was about to drag Bai Lu out of the courtyard and execute her on the spot, Ling Qi suddenly rushed in front of Ling Ba and stood in front of Bai Lu.
Ling Qi cupped his hands and said to Gu Qian, "General!"
Gu Qian said coldly, "Ling Qi, don't tell me you're begging for mercy!"
“She…” Ling Qi’s reason was very simple: Bai Lu was carrying his child.
However, he feared that if he said this, he would be the first to die.
Qiu Yan: "Gu Qian, this kind of thing can be left to Ling Qi alone, why bother Ling Ba?"
Her expression was indifferent, devoid of any emotion.
Bai Lu staggered and fell to the ground. "Master, in your heart, isn't there even the slightest place for Bai Lu?"
She no longer knew what loss was; she had no intention of feeling it. Yet, at this moment, she felt the sorrow in her heart.
Qiu Yan slowly shook her head, refusing to look at Bai Lu's sorrowful expression.
"Master, take care."
Bai Lu said her final farewell in a low voice.
Here, she can rely on no one but Qiu Yan.
But now, Qiu Yan has decided to kill her.
If you die, you die. You can reunite with your family, which is a good thing.
In despair, Bai Lu was the first to leave the courtyard.
This is the courtyard where Qiu Yan lived. If she died here, it would defile this place.
Ling Qi was stunned for a while. He suddenly looked up and followed behind Bai Lu.
His steps were heavy, as if they were made of lead.
Qiu Yan went back to her room and continued packing her luggage.
"Gu Qian, I will set off home first thing tomorrow morning."
Gu Qian... He was certain that Qiu Yan hadn't heard a single word of his conversation with He Lin.
"Yan Yan, once you go back, don't come back." If you're going to come, you should wait until Shangjin is stable.
"Okay, whatever you say." This time, Qiu Yan answered decisively.
...After saying goodbye to Zhou Shao and Manager Liao, Qiu Yan and Gu Qian set off on their way home at dawn the next day.
Accompanying them were still Ling Qi and Ling Ba.
On the return trip, they were twice as fast as before.
Upon arriving in Huaiyuan, Qiu Yan decided to stay an extra day because of the wonton shop there.
Gu Qian said goodbye in a hurry, without having time to visit his master, mistress, and Gu Xiaoran, and went straight to the military camp.
He had originally said he wanted to visit the Western Regions, but he couldn't find the time.
