For some reason, Qi Muqing heard a faint hint of sadness from those words, but that sadness was slowly eating away at his heart. He gripped the hilt of his sword, then released it.

"You're going with Qi Jingluo?"

"No, I'll go with you."

This made Su Ruo surprised, "He's the one that the people from the Fiend Nation want." Suddenly, she remembered his words. Protecting her with all her might, she felt a peculiar feeling in her heart.

"The Armoured Cavalry will protect Zhou Quan. There will be someone waiting for him ahead." Qi Muqing cut him short.

"You're also so calm that it surprises me …" As Su Ruo said this, a curved blade suddenly slashed at her from behind. Qi Muqing's gaze turned cold. She pulled Su Ruo up with one hand, and stabbed the sword towards that person with the other.

Su Ruo was caught off guard and fell into Qi Muqing's arms. She abruptly flung Qi Muqing's hand away and took two steps back, as if she'd run into some disgusting filth.

Her face turned cold, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and her tone became even colder. "I must have not told you two things. First, don't touch my things, and secondly, don't touch me."

Just as Qi Muqing was about to speak, another curved blade flew towards Su Ruo. Su Ruo took up the sword on the chest, blocked the curved blade, and caught it right in the scabbard. Su Ruo grabbed the sword by the hilt and pulled it out of the scabbard, causing the scabbard to fall to the ground.

The big man's eyes were wide open, blood continuously gushed out of his throat. His unbelievable expression seemed to be expressing his confusion, wondering why he had died just like that.

Su Ruo glanced at the burly man on the ground and indifferently said, "It seems to be a bit slow." According to her calculations, she should have killed him before the sword sheath landed, not landed on the ground at the same time.

A hint of dimness flashed through Qi Muqing's cold eyes, and the corners of her eyes slightly raised. She could always easily surprise and surprise him. It was like an uncertain factor, an uncontrollable eagle. She was not a caged canary, nor was she a proud phoenix on a branch. She was a falcon, a falcon with wings soaring in the sky, and a falcon with sharp claws. "It seems he was wrong to think she was just a kitten with claws.

At this point, the Iron Cavalry and the fearless nations had already fallen into a chaotic battle. Seeing that Qi Jingluo could not take it, Su Ruo turned to Su Xiaoyi and said, "Xiaoyi, protect Qi Jingluo well."

After saying that, she was stunned for a moment. She had nothing to do with his life or death, but she was suddenly concerned about his life and death.

Seeing the sword in Su Ruo's hand, he nodded, "Understood."

As Su Ruo blocked the scimitar, she sized up her surroundings and quickly analyzed the escape route.

Qi Muqing looked at Su Ruo, who was very skilled in fighting, and felt a strange feeling in his heart. For the first time, he wanted to understand a woman. But very quickly, this feeling was negated by him. However, he had never met such a woman before, so he was interested. Women were only women.

After determining the route, Su Ruo moved closer to Su Xiaoyi and said, "You follow Qi Jingluo and head east." She wanted Su Xiaoyi to go with Qi Jingluo because no matter how far they went, she would be able to find Su Xiaoyi. Furthermore, she needed to use something that only Su Xiaoyi and her could determine the direction to use.

Su Xiaoyi refused, "Xue Niang told me to protect you."

"If we don't split up, we'll die together here." Su Ruo said.

This time, Su Xiaoyi had nothing to refute. He knew that Su Ruo never joked around. If she said she died here, she would definitely die here.

Seeing that Su Xiaoyi was silent, Su Ruo knew that he agreed, "Three times."

"One, two, three."

With that, she took out a ball the size of a thumb from her small pouch and threw it onto the ground. Immediately, an orange fog began to spread, covering the entire forest.

Orange smoke was a smoke agent she had extracted from a flower that obscured one's vision. The thick orange fog caused the surrounding people to not know which direction to go, and their vision became blurry.

Su Ruo ran to Qi Jingluo, grabbed her fan with one hand, handed her sword to Qi Jingluo and pushed her away. "Follow Yi, he'll take you out of here."

With that, she took the fan back to Qi Muqing's side. She took out a jade bottle and waved it in front of Qi Muqing's eyes, causing his vision to become clear. She asked, "Are you ready?"

"You want me to be the scapegoat?"

"You can choose." "No," she said. She had let Qimu Qing lure the enemy with a fan because she was confident that they would be able to escape from the people of the Fatherless Kingdom.

He accepted her fan. "As you wish." He didn't know what she was thinking, but he was looking forward to what she would do next.

His smile was a bit dazzling and blurry. Su Ruo was startled for a moment, then quickly withdrew her gaze, "Let's go south." In the woods to the south, their horses were all there. She did not let them ride away because riding would be more attractive to each other.

Qi Muqing held the fan high up in the air. When the people of the Bewilderment Empire saw the fan, they immediately headed in the direction of Qi Muqing and Su Ruo.

"Your crate," he said. "Your crate."

Su Ruo untied her reins and jumped onto the horse, "When you're still alive, we'll worry about the trunk."

"Why are we not alive?"

Su Ruo's hands paused for a moment. She was just used to it. Because she couldn't die, she never thought she would die.

She looked into the distance, away from Qi Muqing's questioning gaze. "Then let's wait until we're alive first."

Qi Muqing swept a glance at the people from the Wu Sha Nation chasing her. "Perhaps, they were recruited by you?"

"Are you suspecting me?" Su Ruo caught the meaning of doubt in Qi Muqing's expression. Hearing her approaching footsteps, she coldly said, "If you have the time to doubt me, you might as well save some time to escape."

She was very calm and there was no panic in her eyes. It was as if even if the sky collapsed, it would not cause a single ripple on her expression. Qi Muqing jumped onto the horse and gazed at Su Ruo's back view. His expression became complicated. It seemed that the person who picked her was truly different from the others.

"Let's go." Su Ruo turned her horse and headed deeper into the forest.

Before he left, he placed a hand behind his back and made a gesture.

Behind the large tree, the man's cold gaze displayed a bloodthirsty killing intent. The corner of his mouth curled up into a cold smile, making him seem like he was in the shrine of death.
