“The Duan Clan’s Duan Yue had given her a box of concealed weapons. I saw it!” Dou Fengchi yelled out frenziedly, “Quick, quickly take it out and throw them.”
While creasing his brows, Second Young Sir Dou yanked at his sister’s arm.
Dou Fengyao couldn’t resist sniggering, “Do you have a good relationship with her? Why should she help you.”
This made Dou Fengchi so angry that she turned to glare at her. “Shouldn’t we help each other at times like this and force back this pack of zombie rats before anything else?”
“Ha ha, I see that Miss Qiao doesn’t seem to be some kind of greatly high-minded person. Look at how she is squatting there. Does it look like she has the slightest intention of helping us? I see that there is totally no chance.”
At this time, Qingluan, who was feeding the little lady, turned back to cast them a glance before chuckling ironically, “You two don’t need to try to play the good guy and bad guy to goad my little master into making a move by taunting her! Because it’s useless!”
Little Master simply can’t hear what you bunch of fools are saying!
Dou Fengchi was startled, and she turned to glance at Dou Fengyao. Only after seeing the latter flush in embarrassment did she realize that the cyan-robed man had seen through Dou Fengyao’s motive. So it turned out that she was deliberately quarreling with her earlier, trying to goad Qiao Mu into making a move by taunting her?
The leader of Beijing Manor’s team was called Xin Yu’er, allegedly Beijing Manor’s future young madam. In her early twenties, she had a tall figure with looks that could be considered better than average.
She couldn’t resist wrinkling her brows when she heard their confrontation, and she turned to say to a maidservant, “Where did Baoyan that lass run off to. We have to be more careful later. Should there be an opportunity, everyone should leave on their own.”
“Yes, Miss.” That maidservant nodded. “Baoyan disappeared just after entering the Mystic Beast Forest, but you should not bother with her. The most important task on hand is to escape this predicament.”
As she spoke, she looked up at the branch where Qiao Mu was spectating, and she couldn’t resist whispering, “Miss, who is that person? Is it just as Family Head Dou said, that she has some kind of destructive explosive? If that is the case, why has she not done anything even when Family Head Dou said all that. Her heart truly is vicious.”
Xin Yu’er shook her head. Although she had no dealings with this young lady, but from how the people from the Dou Clan and the Mu Clan spoke to her, it seemed that their relationship was not all that good.
It was her business whether she intervened or not. How could they demand it?
At this moment, an abnormal movement suddenly occurred. That pack of zombie rats seemed to have gone mad, attacking even more violently than before and launching themselves at the crowd without caring for their lives.
A throng separated from the zombie rat pack and bolted for the foot of Qiao Mu’s tree, attacking its roots.
After the several dozen rats nibbled on the tree Qiao Mu was sitting on, it soon swayed, looking to be on the verge of collapse.
Qiao Mu suddenly leaped up and removed the large mystic weapon bow from her back before shooting numerous arrows in succession. Each arrow was basically able to skewer two to three rats with a ferocious strength.
After slaughtering that small mob of rats that were so blind as to attack her, Qiao Mu swiftly landed on another tree.
Yet she didn’t expect that a fair and slender arm would wind out from behind the tree and grip her wrist all of a sudden.
This presence that attacked her from behind was extremely strong. With a gentle twist, the person leaped up to the treetop while grabbing Qiao Mu’s arm with one hand and stabbing at her neck artery with a dagger in the other hand.
Even so, Miss Qiao was expressionless.
The group of people below were petrified.
After all, that dagger was about to stab into her, yet Miss Qiao was unmoved…
