Yang Ruxin sighed and took off her cloak to hand it over.
"Thank you." Gui Family took the cloak, draped it over the round-faced girl, and then stepped forward to Yang Ruxin, "My surname is Gui, a widow, older than the rest of them. Are you really from Daxuan?"
"Do I have any reason to deceive you?" Yang Ruxin frowned slightly, "The citizens of Governorâs Office City have all been sent up the city walls to serve as shields for the Yuan soldiers. Helplessly, we could only sneak in... Fortunately, you are still alive..."
"Thatâs great." Tears fell from Gui Familyâs eyes, but her gaze quickly fell on Ji Binâs face, a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes: "But he..." Obviously, everyone recognized this officialâs son, "Itâs all his fault..."
"He is Ji Linâs son; his father is the Guard of Governorâs Office City. Itâs because his father surrendered that we have fallen to this plight. Kill him..." One of the slim and tall girls made a move as if to rush over, her voice growing louder.
"Iâve already repented." Ji Bin hurriedly raised his hands in surrender, "Previously, it was all my fatherâs doing, really, I now realize my mistakes... Iâve come here to rescue you with Sister Ruxin..."
"Who would believe you? Kill him..."
"Go ahead and shout." Yang Ruxin suddenly shouted fiercely, "Alatan is right ahead; my husband is figuring out a way to hold them off. If you attract the Yuan soldiers here, youâll see what happens to you. I wonât care about your life or death then."
"Yunfang, calm down." Gui Family glared at the slim and tall girl.
The girl named Yunfang immediately shut up.
The rest also immediately halted their steps.
Ji Bin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"How does it feel to be hated?" Yang Ruxin glanced at Ji Bin.
Ji Binâs face felt awkward for the first time.
Yang Ruxin didnât bother with him anymore, but turned to the girls in front of her: "Now Iâm asking you once, do you believe me? Do you want to follow me out?" Her tone became more severe, "Also, youâd better not dawdle; I donât have that much time to waste."
"Iâm willing." A girl with a mole between her eyebrows was the first to nod, "But are you sure you can get us out?"
"Not sure." Yang Ruxin shook her head, "But under the current circumstances, other than following me, do you have any other options? Weigh it for yourself."
The girl with the mole looked back at the others.
"What about them?" The round-faced girl stood up straight, pointing to the girls who were unconscious on the ground, "Youâre Sister Ruxin, right? Can you take them too? Perhaps..." Perhaps finding a Doctor might help them survive.
"As long as you obey, I can take all of you out. But if you think youâre smart and donât listen, none of you will be able to leave." Yang Ruxinâs expression turned even more serious. These girls, though pitiable, had various thoughts, and she had to make them listen, "Furthermore, you have to remember one thingâI donât owe you anything. On the contrary, by risking my life to rescue you, you all owe me. So, in fact, your lives are mine from now on, understand?"
The girls looked at each other, unsure.
"Alright." In the end, it was Gui Family who nodded first, "We will listen to you." Then she looked at the other girls, "What Miss Ruxin said is right, following her might give us a chance to survive. A person can only have hope if theyâre alive. At the very least, we might be able to see our family who could still be out there, right?"
