Wangcai pounced straight at Mu Qing.
"Ah—no, save me! Brother—" Mu Qing struggled repeatedly, but because she was not strong enough, Wang Cai forcibly took off her clothes.
"Stop...stop—" Chi Ling's eyes were glazed over. "No..."
Swish—
A flash of silver light appeared, and Wangcai froze instantly. Then his pupils dilated, and he fell to one side.
Through her tear-blurred vision, Mu Qing watched Wangcai fall. Then, in her hazy state, she saw a man in white appear before her. As her vision cleared, his handsome appearance warmed her heart.

“Come with me!” Gu Liyan said.
Mu Qing looked up at Gu Liyan and asked, "What?"
"From now on, I will take care of you in place of your brother," Gu Liyan said with a slight smile.
