Ye Changyun and the Grand Elder desperately chased after Wang Hu. However, Wang Hu was far too fast for them to possibly catch. They could only watch helplessly as he closed the distance to Ye Qingchen!
"Don't hurt the Young Master!"
At that moment, a slender figure appeared before Ye Qingchen. With arms spread wide, she used her frail body to shield him, a look of pure determination on her lovely face.
This girl was none other than Xiao Xiao, who had long depended on Ye Qingchen for survival.
"Xiao Xiao, get out of the way! You'll be killed!"
Ye Qingchen, lying paralyzed on the ground, gazed at the weak yet stubborn back before him. His nose stung and his eyes reddened as he roared.
Xiao Xiao has no cultivation at all. A single strike from Wang Hu would be a fatal blow! She's trying to protect me with her own life!
However, Xiao Xiao turned a deaf ear to his words and stood her ground resolutely.
"Hmph! Courting death!"
