They exchanged a glance, and Ling Xue quickened her pace, arriving near the city in a few leaps. After carefully observing the area and finding nothing amiss, the two entered the city.
She also found a secluded corner to enter the space. Looking at the floor plan in her hand, she carefully planned the order of events, marked it, and then went to rest.
Meanwhile, Youming, unable to find any trace of the aura on the official road, turned back to re-identify the direction and finally locked onto a small path, following the aura once again.
The past few days of running around had left him somewhat disheveled, and his anger grew stronger. He wished he could catch the cunning Qin Qianluo and her group the next second, and his pace quickened unconsciously.
Qin Qianlu meticulously investigated and recorded the findings, perfected the floor plan, noted down the problems of the city, and put it together with the previously compiled notes. Each city was slightly different, and the more detailed her notes were, the easier it would be to attack.
Recalling everything she had witnessed in the past five days, Qin Qianluo felt for the first time as if she were living in an era of imperial power. The oppression of the class system, the ignorance of the people, and everything else that was unacceptable were all impacting her values.
Trying to forget these things, she also began to pay attention to guiding the women in the space. Many things were learned from childhood and were deeply rooted. If she did not guide them, it would be a troublesome matter in the future.
There's no need to worry about Ling Xue and the other two. Their experiences have instilled in them a spirit of resistance, and they are both excellent and powerful enough. They have also read many positive books in the space and interacted with the guards.
The main issue is the sixteen women. They are still young and have been in that kind of situation for a long time. They have absorbed many things through what they have seen and heard. If they change too much all at once, it will backfire. We can only proceed slowly.
So whenever Qin Qianluo had time, she would go to the ward to chat with them, and she would also bring Qianying and the other two along. So far, the effect has been pretty good, and Ling Xue and the others would occasionally come over as well.
After thoroughly exploring the city, Qin Qianluo prepared to continue her journey. After habitually erasing all traces, Ling Xue and Qin Qianluo set off.
They continued along the narrow path, remaining vigilant about their surroundings. 001 also scouted the area, directing them to avoid dangerous sections and areas frequented by bandits.
Holding Ling Xue tightly in her arms, Qin Qianlu breathed in the fresh air. It had to be said that the air was truly clean at this time, with little pollution, and the river water was mostly crystal clear.
As Qin Qianluo carefully observed her surroundings, she became increasingly vigilant. She had a bad feeling, and this feeling grew stronger, as if some danger was approaching.
As if to confirm her guess, two pebbles flew towards the two of them at lightning speed. They had no chance to dodge and were immobilized in an instant, their pressure points frozen in place while they were still in a forward-rushing posture.
Qin Qianluo thought to herself that something was wrong. Just as she was about to take Ling Xue into the space, a soft ribbon flew over and, without giving the two of them time to react, instantly wrapped around Ling Xue and pulled her back at high speed.
Ling Xue's acupoints were sealed, and everything happened too fast. Before she could react, she was already flying backward. Qin Qianluo watched Ling Xue get further and further away, feeling anxious.
Looking closely, Ling Xue stopped on a tree a hundred meters away. A figure caught Ling Xue and landed on the ground. Ling Sha was instantly retracted, and the figure flew over with Ling Xue's clothes in hand.
As soon as the person entered within a hundred meters, 001 knew who it was. It said nervously, "Luo Bao, it's Youming! Youming is after us!"
When Qin Qianluo, frozen in place, learned that the newcomer was Youming, alarm bells went off in her mind. She stared intently in his direction, silently asking herself, '001, are you confident you can knock him out with electricity?'
001 assured him, "There will be treasure dropped, don't worry!"
With a slight sense of calm, Youming brought Ling Xue to Qin Qianluo's side. He loosened Ling Xue's collar with his slender fingers, took out a dagger from somewhere, and held it to Ling Xue's neck.
With a dangerous glint in his eyes, he said, "Qin Qianluo, you've given me quite a chase. This is the first time someone has escaped from my grasp for so long. You're really something."
Qin Qianluo looked at the gleaming dagger and asked uncertainly, "001, are you confident you can knock this person unconscious instantly? The dagger is near Sister Lingxue's artery; we can't let him have a chance to cut it."
Seeing the location of the dagger, 001 was also somewhat uncertain. "Luo Bao, I can't guarantee I can knock him unconscious with an electric shock in one go."
Seeing that Qin Qianluo ignored him and was only staring at the dagger in his hand, Youming, who was standing opposite, was slightly dissatisfied. He deliberately moved the dagger, and a red mark appeared on Ling Xue's neck, but no blood was drawn.
Qin Qianluo gritted her teeth and asked, "May I ask your name? Have I done anything to offend you that warrants this targeting?"
Youming curled his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes: "The weak are not worthy of knowing my title. You only need to know that you have nowhere to escape. If you want her to live, then obediently surrender."
Ling Xue said anxiously, "Don't listen to her, Master, hurry up and leave, don't worry about it..."
Before he could finish speaking, Youming sealed his speech acupoint with his other hand and said coldly, "Shut up."
He then looked at Qin Qianluo across from him, waiting for her answer. Even if she disagreed, he still had ways to capture her; she would be like a turtle in a jar.
