Also thrown over was Xiang Zhou, who was covered in wounds and on the verge of death. Ironically, the thorns were still tied to his body and had not been loosened.
Ye Qingxue stood at the gate, still holding a long whip, her fierce eyes scanning the crowd before finally landing on Madam Min.
"I, Ye Qingxue, was abandoned by the Marquis's mansion when I was two years old. However, I still have a father who has not given up on me. Every time I returned from a victorious battle, my father would visit me at the manor and teach me martial arts.

The guards fell silent, both out of fear and shock!
