"If you trust me, you'd better hide in these woods and not show yourselves. And don't rush to leave, because you probably can't afford the consequences of running into the bandits again."
Mo Qianchang glanced suggestively into the carriage, reminding the wealthy man that his wife shouldn't be frightened any further, otherwise the baby in her womb might truly be lost...
With this in mind, although the master was wary, he did not act rashly. He silently nodded and made arrangements, and his men quickly retreated to hide in the woods.
Even though there was no one around, Mo Qianshang suddenly called out in a low voice to the air.
“You’ve been with me all this way. Now the village is in trouble, and the children are still in the village. Shouldn’t you come out, White Robe?”
At first, Mr. Mo didn't know who was following her, but later, when she was rescuing people, she vaguely saw a white figure in the woods. Recalling the white-clad man's martial arts skills and his disdainful and suspicious attitude towards her, he realized that the white-clad man was a formidable opponent.
She was certain that the person following her must be in white.
Up to this point, Mo Qianshang still doesn't quite understand what this man's background is or what his true appearance is. She only knows that he likes to wear white, so he asked Mo Qianshang and the children to wear white clothes in his place.
Sure enough, in just a few breaths, Qin Baiyi appeared before Mo Qianshang as if he were a celestial being descending to earth, without making a sound. His deep, dark eyes revealed no emotion.
When did you realize it was me?
"Besides you, probably no one else would be so bored as to follow me around without doing anything."
Mo Qianshang couldn't understand his purpose, but the situation in the village was urgent at the moment, so she was too lazy to ask any more questions. She just looked into the distance to observe the situation in the village.
"There are probably around thirty bandits. Judging from their gait, they don't seem to be in good spirits. If I'm not mistaken, they should be the ones who were previously imprisoned in the Dark Prison."
"They've all been released now, which probably means there was a traitor in the village who made some kind of deal with them."
"What do you plan to do?" Qin Baiyi's voice was indifferent, without a trace of tension, as if everyone in the village was irrelevant to him.
Only he himself knew how anxious he was at that moment.
None of his four children knew martial arts. If anything happened to them, he would spend the rest of his life in regret, never finding a way out.
After staring ahead for a moment, Mo Qianshang's eyes suddenly widened as she looked at the tiny figure moving freely, and the air pressure around her suddenly dropped.
"Don't overthink it, it was Liu Dashan who released those bandits."
“If those bandits really are led by Liu Dashan, then things will be much easier from here on out.” Mo Qianchang’s lips curled into a wicked smile, her eyes unusually sharp.
"White Robe, you once saved two children, and I can tell you seem quite fond of them. So, I suppose if I were to entrust the safety of all four children to you, would you step in to save them again?"
In recent days, Mo Qianshang has been secretly observing Qin Baiyi's interactions with the four children. She discovered that there seems to be an inexplicable tacit understanding between Qin Baiyi and the four children.
Sometimes, even though Qin Baiyi would maintain a calm and collected demeanor, he would secretly fetch the things the children wanted.
For example, when Qin Qingyu was identifying herbs with Little Key, he mentioned that there was a kind of herb that grew deep in the mountains. He was very curious, so half an hour later, there was a herb on the table in the main room.
It's obvious who did it.
That's why Mo Qianshang can now confidently entrust the children to Qin Baiyi, it just depends on whether he agrees or not.
"You trust me that much? Those are your only children." Qin Baiyi seemed very displeased, but he had already quietly followed Mo Qianshang closer to the mountain stronghold.
“There are many things about you that I don’t understand, but I can see how good you are to the children, so I’m willing to take this gamble,” Mo Qianshang answered without any pretense.
Unexpectedly, she suddenly pulled out a Swiss Army knife hidden on her body.
"However, if you dare to harm the children, I will chase you to the ends of the earth and avenge them!"
Perhaps because they were getting closer and closer to the mountain stronghold, Mo Qianshang's voice was like a gentle breeze, seemingly without any intimidation.
Yet the sharp blade in her hand gleamed with an undeniable silvery-white light in the deep night, especially the striking point at the tip, which was particularly terrifying.
After hearing Mo Qianshang's words, the slight displeasure in Qin Baiyi's heart gradually dissipated.
It seems that the other party only entrusted the children to him because he realized that she had no ill intentions towards them, rather than because he didn't care about the children.
Understanding this, Qin Baiyi stopped contradicting Mo Qianshang. The two quickly exchanged glances and, like ghosts, blended into the night, silently sneaking into the mountain stronghold.
Mo Qianshang gave Qin Baiyi one last meaningful look, then turned and chased after Liu Dashan in the direction she had seen him walk without looking back.
Unexpectedly, instead of encountering Liu Dashan, they saw Gou Dan tied up and hanging from a tree.
His body was covered in whip marks, and his eyes were fixed on the direction of the house, but his mouth was gagged, so he couldn't make a sound.
Instead, the flickering candlelight inside the room illuminated several figures, and a strange laugh could be heard. Thinking of what might happen, Mo Qianshang didn't care about exposing herself and darted into the room by kicking down the door.
The commotion startled everyone in the room, leaving them frozen in place. Only Sister Gou Dan, her face streaked with tears, lay on the floor, her eyes tightly shut, clutching her disheveled clothes as she wept.
With other matters to attend to, Mo Qianshang turned around and kicked the door shut. Before they could react, she moved like a ghost among them, knocking them all unconscious.
"It's alright, don't cry. I'll go put Gou Dan down. This is a miracle medicine I got by chance. You can give it to Gou Dan in a bit. Also, make sure to apply these medicines to his wounds after you've cleaned them."
Regardless of whether Sister Gou Dan could remember everything at this moment, Mo Qianshang finished speaking and went to the yard to cut the rope that was suspending Gou Dan.
Gou Dan, being a worldly person, didn't shout with ecstatic joy. He simply exchanged a grateful glance with Mo Qianshang before being helped back into the house by his sister.
She thought the commotion wouldn't attract anyone's attention, but Mo Qianshang underestimated the extent of Liu Dashan and Liu Shouyi's fear of her.
She had barely heard Liu Dashan's voice and was chasing after him when an iron net fell from the sky, and a bunch of bandits wielding bows and arrows suddenly appeared from all directions.
They really went to great lengths to make sure she had nowhere to hide!
With a self-deprecating sigh, Mo Qianshang smiled enigmatically, her eyes filled with disdain.
This is still not enough to impress you...
Following the techniques she learned in her previous life, she used her skills to find the weakest point in the iron net and break through it.
When the bandits saw that the iron net could not control her, they immediately raised their bows and arrows and aimed.
Just when everyone thought she was going to avoid meeting him, Mo Qianshang's smile suddenly became unrestrained, and she rushed towards Liu Dashan, who was being protected by several bandits.
