"We've been here for so long, and she still hasn't come back. Maybe she ran away on her own!"
“I think she might be with the bandits, otherwise why would she be wearing bandit clothes? Maybe she hid us here because she was afraid the people who came to rescue us would find us.”
"That's right! Didn't you notice how the bandits treated her differently from how they treated us?"
"My sister was only thinking about your safety, and you're talking about her like this!"
“You’re from Lotus Village, you should know Wan Qiqi better than us. She’s a notorious poisonous woman, who knows what kind of evil intentions she might have!”
"If you suspect her, you can find a way to leave on your own."
Chen Yongnian led his men in, startling those inside.
What actually frightened everyone was Chen Yongnian's serious voice, which carried a hint of anger and left people somewhat confused.
The people at the martial arts school felt that the young masters and ladies of the wealthy family were truly unreasonable.
Wan Qiqi kindly arranged everything and asked them to take them away, but these people instead spoke ill of Wan Qiqi, even saying that she was with bandits.

Although Chen Yongnian didn't know how Wu Gousheng addressed his wife as "sister," he knew that a woman as charming and capable as his wife could easily win over others.
He paused for only a second, then immediately nodded and replied, "She's fine. We'll see her when we get down the mountain!"
When the young men and women heard that they could go down the mountain, they all rushed towards Chen Yongnian, as if he were their lifeline, wanting to hold on to him tightly.
"Quiet down, everyone!" Chen Yongnian stopped the people rushing towards him. "Follow our instructions. You can go down the mountain immediately. Don't make a fuss, be quiet, or we'll all die if the bandits find us!"
