Chapter 828: Chapter 822: Follow Along _1
âThatâs acceptable.â The man agreed readily to Qin Xueâs request, figuring that having two small children around would only be a hindrance.
âAlright then. Sister, take the children back home. Iâll accompany them for a while. Donât worry. I will return shortly.â Qin Xue said to Xue Ling, implying for her to relay this information to Chu Molin so he wouldnât worry.
âOkay, but you must return quickly, sister. I wonât be able to handle these two children alone for long.â Xue Ling comprehended Qin Xueâs intentions after hearing her words.
âMmhmm, I will. Go ahead, Iâll watch you leave.â Qin Xue wanted to ensure that no one would follow them. Once Xue Ling and the children disappeared from her sight, she would feel at ease. She had faith in Xue Lingâs abilities.
âAlright, sister, rest assured. Iâll properly take care of the children until youâre back.â Xue Ling said, before walking away with the children.
âWe should get moving too,â announced Qin Xue, having lost sight of Xue Ling and the kids, and now turning her attention towards the others.
âYouâre courageous.â The man complimented.
âWhy should I fear when I have all of you by my side?â responded Qin Xue with a smirk.
âArenât you an optimist.â The leading man laughed, acknowledging that such women were a rarity.
âIâd say itâs fair enough. At this point, what other choice do I have? Or would you prefer I donât come with you?â Qin Xue inquired.
âThatâs certainly not happening,â the man responded immediately.
âPrecisely my point! Itâs foolish to resist the inevitable. Can you tell me why you wanted to kill that man?â Asked Qin Xue.
âWe never intended to kill him. Others wanted him dead, and it just so happened that his death would be advantageous to us. We merely planned to capture him. However, we encountered you trying to save him. Thatâs why weâre requesting you come with us. You have nothing to worry about. Our boss is reasonable. Weâre only interested in your particular abilities and mean you no harm,â explained the leading man.
They had been ordered to capture a traitor. However, the situation took an unexpected turn when they stumbled upon this incident. Nonetheless, this worked in their favor as they could still bring the traitor back alive. As for this woman and her exceptional abilities, they would be kicking themselves if they let her slip through their fingers.
Thus, he made the executive decision to bring her along. Although aware of the potential threat posed by the man accompanying her, they knew they werenât likely to stay around for long. Once the matter of the traitor was settled, they would return to their headquarters, so they werenât overly concerned about him doing anything to them.
âSo, youâre the good guys after all?â Qin Xue was taken aback by the manâs candidness.
âNot exactly virtuous, but we indeed havenât committed any crimes here.â The man was insinuating that they werenât so depraved as to bully a single woman.
âHa, this is the first time Iâve heard a villain denying their wickedness.â Qin Xue laughed, finding the manâs statement amusing yet seemingly genuine.
âDonât you already have an answer to whether we are villains? Otherwise, you wouldnât have chosen to accompany us, would you?â The man wasnât bothered by Qin Xueâs remark. Instead, he continued the conversation with her.
âYouâre right. If you had malicious intent, youâd already be dead.â Qin Xue replied, laughing.
Did they really think she spent all her time in the divine space just producing hemostatics and healing potions? If so, wouldnât all the medical books she had read have gone to waste?
âYouâŠâ The man was taken aback by the sudden change in Qin Xueâs demeanor, feeling a bit apprehensive. He hadnât crossed some formidable character, had he?
