"Ah..." The tall, thin man cried out in pain. Hearing Qiu Yan's harsh words, he shook his aching legs, struggled to his feet, and with his last bit of strength, turned and ran.
"I don't know, I don't know..."
But after running a few steps, a tall figure suddenly appeared.
The tall, thin man was startled and fell backward, his head hitting the ground hard.
Gu Qian swiftly drew the soft sword from his waist and pressed it against the tall, thin man's chest.
Then, he looked at Qiu Yan in front of him.
He carefully examined her from head to toe to make sure she was not injured before turning his gaze away.
His eyes held anger, blame, and, most of all, worry.
Qiu Yan touched her nose, feeling a little guilty.
She took a few steps, walked closer to Gu Qian, and stood side by side with him.
Looking at the man and woman in front of him, the tall, thin man could no longer care about his own pain; he could only feel deep despair.
"Who...who are you people...?"
Gu Qian asked coldly, "I'll only ask you once, who is your master? If you don't tell me, I'll cut you into a thousand pieces!"
Faced with Gu Qian's intimidating presence, the tall, thin man was instantly terrified and lost his composure.
"It is...it is General Chu."
"Where is he?" This was what Gu Qian cared about most.
If he were to encounter this person, he would surely kill him without hesitation.
"I don't know, I don't know... I really don't know..."
If we don't know, what's the point of keeping him around?
With a flick of his soft sword, Gu Qian pierced the delicate chest of the tall, thin man.
In a state of utter resentment, the tall, thin man took one last look at Qiu Yan and the other woman, then closed his eyes tightly, ending his short and tragic life.
A cold wind swept through, and the air was filled with the stench of blood.
Qiu Yan and Gu Qian stood there silently, the atmosphere... was not quite right.
Seeing that Gu Qian remained silent, his peach blossom eyes filled with emotion, Qiu Yan recalled Gu Qian's words yesterday that he had told her not to leave his side for even a moment, and her face showed embarrassment.
Originally, she thought she would just go and come back.
Little did she know that a trip out would lead to so many troubles.
Qiu Yan lowered her eyes and tightened her frozen fingers.
"Why didn't you sleep a little longer..."
Gu Qian remained silent, gripping Qiu Yan's forearm tightly with his right hand and pulling her away from the area quickly.
If we don't leave now, the smell of blood here will bring disaster.
Qiu Yan complied and let him pull her back to the inn.
After arriving at the inn, Gu Qian released Qiu Yan and sat down on the bed by himself.
He remained silent, his expression even more serious than before.
Seeing his reaction, Qiu Yan wanted to explain, "Gu Qian, I saw you were sleeping soundly..."
Gu Qian looked up and quietly listened to Qiu Yan's explanation.
"I……"
Qiu Yan is really bad at comforting people.
Her decision to go out today was ill-considered.
She was used to being free and easy, and she and Gu Qian rarely saw each other. Today was the first time she had felt nervous about him.
Seeing that Gu Qian still wouldn't pay attention to her, Qiu Yan, unable to coax him, pulled him close, gently touched his lips to hers, and said softly, "Don't be angry anymore, I'm fine."
Because of this kiss, Gu Qian's serious expression softened a little, and his mood improved considerably.
He looked intently into Qiu Yan's eyes. "I know you're anxious to find your second uncle, but don't you know how dangerous it is outside? What if..."
No, there's no chance of anything happening; Gu Qian won't let that happen.
Just now, he woke up and couldn't find anyone, and he was going crazy with worry.
As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion!
Qiu Yan nodded, "I understand." Actually, she felt that Gu Qian was worrying too much.
Who is she? She's a special forces female soldier. How could she let herself get into trouble?
