At Xuanjian Faction.
A gentle silhouette was dashing around the place like the wind. Clearly, this person was very familiar with Xuanjian Faction as she knew how to avoid all the guards wherever she went. Within a short moment, she managed to travel to where Xuanjian Faction kept their prisoners.
“Who’s that?
There was a disciple of Xuanjian Faction guarding at the prison. Immediately, the guard found out that there was a shadow approaching the prison.
“My lady! Why are you here…”
The moment the guard recognized the intruder, a hard hit landed on his neck. Clearly, the intruder had no intention to kill anyone. She just wanted the guard to stay unconscious when she rescued Qiao’er. This intruder was none other than Liu Xuanxin! Walking into the deeper part of the prison, Liu Xuanxin found the person that she wanted to rescue at one of the cleaner cells. Qiao’er was sitting down on the floor and hugging her legs with her head bowed.
Due to fear, she did not dare to look around. The moment she saw that Qiao’er was in such terrible circumstance, Liu Xuanxin could not help but start to channel her True Kang within her body.
*Swoosh*
A slash landed on the cell and the iron bars were cut in half.
“Qiao’er! Are you okay?!”
Immediately, Liu Xuanxin ran into the cell and squatted beside Qiao’er.
“My lady! Why are you here…”
*Sob*
Initially, Qiao’er thought that she could hold on to her tears. The moment she saw Liu Xuanxin walked into the cell, she started to cry like there was no tomorrow. Seeing that drops and drops of tears were flowing down from her face, Liu Xuanxin felt sad as well.
“Alright. Alright. How old are you. Look at you. You are going to drown in all those tears that came out from your eyes! I’m here right now! Let me bring you away from this place!”
Liu Xuanxin then brought her closer to her embrace and started to stroke her back gently.
“My lady… Qiao’er cannot leave this place right now…”
*Sob…*
“Why? What’s wrong? What are you planning to do?”
Taken aback, Liu Xuanxin suddenly frowned while waiting for Qiao’er to answer her. Immediately, she channeled her snow-white True Kang to her palm and prepared to land a destructive slap on Qiao’er face.
*Swoosh*
“Why would you do that to me? You are one of the people that I trust the most!”
Without a doubt, Qiao’er would definitely be destroyed if Liu Xuanxin decided to use all her 45,000 combat power to slap her. In the end, Liu Xuanxin still decided not to slap Qiao’er. Filled with anger, Liu Xuanxin slowly put down her hand. Seemingly, Qiao’er pricked Liu Xuanxin with a needle when she went and hugged her just now. And the needle was soaked in poison previously.
Although it was not deadly, it was a type of poison that could cause instant paralysis on the victim.
*Sob…*
*Sob…*
*Sob…*
“It’s all my fault! I’m really sorry…”
It was hard for Liu Xuanxin to imagine that the girl that grew up together with her would betray her when she came to her rescue. Seeing that she was crying non-stop, Liu Xuanxin knew that she was forced to do so.
“What is going on? Just tell me honestly… I will not blame you…”
“My lady… This is the evil plan that Liu Xiyuan, Blood Descendants, and Green Town Faction come up together not too long ago! They wanted me to inform you about it to lure you here!” said Qiao’er.
“So, their purpose is not to capture Chen Xiaobei? They want to capture me instead?”
Frowning, Liu Xuanxin was trying her best to stop the poison from spreading to her entire body. Still, she knew that her body would not be able to hold on to it any longer.
“No. They want to kill Chen Xiaobei as well! With you as the hostage, they believe that Chen Xiaobei will surrender to them!”
“What an evil plan!”
Her eyes blazed with wrath. Not only did they plan to kill her, but they also wanted to kill Chen Xiaobei as well.
“I’m so sorry… Qiao’er just did something really bad to you… I’m willing to become your slave in my next life. I will make sure that I will work until my sins are redeemed!”
Immediately, Qiao’er started to cry again. Seemingly, she felt really bad for betraying Liu Xuanxin.
“After hearing your confession, I knew that our sisterhood still exists! Tell me now. Why would you agree to work together with them? I know that you are forced to do so!”
“Yes… You are right… I’m forced to do so… My lady… Do you still remember my full name?”
“Yes. I still remember… Your full name is Huo Qiaoqiao. When we adopted you from the orphanage, we saw that your full name was being engraved on the jade pieces that you were wearing.”
“Yes… Not too long after that, Liu Xiyuan managed to find my blood brother and my parents! That’s why I did not dare to disobey Liu Xiyuan!”
*Sob…*
*Sob…*
“I see now… Qiao’er! You did nothing wrong! Don’t cry anymore… I don’t blame you for doing this to me… Manage to reunite with your family is a good thing. You are now better than me! Look at me! I don’t even have any family members anymore!”
“My lady… It’s all my fault…”
“Alright… Your mission is done… I don’t think Liu Xiyuan will do anything bad to your family. However, I must leave this place as soon as possible! No matter what, I will not let them use me to threaten Chen Xiaobei!”
Liu Xuanxin then mustered the last of her strength and ran out of the prison. As she had always liked Chen Xiaobei, she would never allow him to fall into a life-threatening situation. On one hand, she was trying to use her True Qi to suppress the poison and on the other, she was using her physical strength to run as fast as possible. Thankfully, the enemies had not found that she was being affected by the poison. Considering that she was pretty familiar with the layout of Xuanjian Faction, she soon managed to escape into the woods near the faction.
“Shit!”
Just when Liu Xuanxin thought she could let out a breath of relief, despair was presented in front of her.
“Ms. Liu! We have been waiting for you for a long time!”
There were around 500 people standing in front of her and half of them were European. Recalling what Qiao’er had just told her, she knew that all of them were Blood Descendants. And the other half were Chinese. Judging from their similar attire, she could guess that they were all from the same faction.
Coincidently, Liu Xuanxin got to know that the attire belonged to Green Town Faction! In front of the 500 people, there were three people standing there. Judging from their looks, they were definitely no ordinary individuals.
