The powerful threat brought by theft made everyone pause and think about other things. Jia Qian, the captain of the first team, has always done his duty, but at this time he temporarily forgot the instructions of the city lord and just paid attention to the thief who suddenly appeared. Now that the thief has left, his thoughts still can't come back. Until then Lu Ping opened his mouth.
Everyone looked at Lu Ping, Jia Qian and Ku Zhu both looked surprised.
It seems like a little thing like "coming to my senses." But facing the oppression of the five souls penetrating the power of the strong soul, "recovering" is also a kind of confrontation. Among so many people, Lu Ping was the first to do it, and he was much faster than everyone else. If he hadn't broken the atmosphere with his voice, they didn't know how long they would have been immersed in this emotion.
This may not indicate how high Lu Ping's level is, but it is enough to reflect his ambition.
Jia Qian couldn't help but look at Lu Ping differently, but he still had to perform his duties.
"Take him away." Jia Qian motioned to his men.
The members of the first escort team stepped forward one after another, surrounded Lu Ping, and were alert. At the same time, some people were paying attention to Su Tang, asking Jia Qian how Su Tang would deal with it.
As a result, Jia Qian hadn't replied yet, Lu Ping hadn't said anything either, and it was Qin Sang who spoke first.
"Where are you taking him?" Qin Sang asked.
"Take it back and wait for the city lord to decide." Jia Qian replied respectfully.
In most cases, it's not a good word. Qin Sang frowned. After looking at Lu Ping, he seemed to have suddenly made up his mind: "Leave him to me!"
Jia Qian was stunned.
"What do you mean, Miss Qin?" He said carefully. He noticed that Qin Sang had been holding the Kui Ying sword tightly in his hand and did not relax at all after the thief left. He was a little uneasy. Originally, he was only thinking about how to hide it from the Qin family and the Liang family when he brought Ling Ziyan back. He did not think about the complications that would arise if he brought back Lu Ping.
"This person needs to give an explanation to our Qin family." Qin Sang said. She was still reasonable after all, and she didn't say anything at all. There is a reason for this, and it can be regarded as giving Jia Qian an explanation.
But for Jia Qian, an explanation is not enough. The city lord's order requires completion, not an explanation. In order to fulfill the city lord's order. He was willing to do anything and would not have any concerns, even for the four major families.
But now he does.
What stood in front of him was also the city lord's order.
No conflict with the Qin family is allowed. This is the city lord's order.
But now, without conflict with Qin Sang, can Lu Ping be brought back?
Jia Qian was very suspicious. He could see that Qin Sang was in an extremely bad mood and kept pressing his hand on the hilt of the sword. He looked eager to vent his anger. Now I have the patience to give him an explanation. Finally, the other party is not overbearing to the point of being unreasonable. But if you don't know what's going on, who knows what this young lady will do next?
Jia Qian didn't want to challenge Qin Sang's mood, not at all. He waved his hand and the members of the escort team surrounding Lu Ping immediately moved away.
"Then leave him to Miss Qin!" Jia Qian said, "If there is anything you need our help with, please feel free to ask."
"Thank you." Qin Sang said.
"You're welcome." Jia Qian bowed slightly, waved his hand again without saying anything more. All the members of the first escort team immediately followed him and left.
Only Lu Ping, Su Tang, and Qin Sang were left on the street. Kuzhu disappeared quietly at some point, but Qin Sang knew that he must still be nearby, guarding his safety all the time.
The rain was still falling, Lu Ping walked to Su Tang and supported her. Su Tang's injuries were much more serious than Lu Ping's, and he could barely stand by leaning against the wall.
Qin Sang looked at the two of them, at the blood stains on their bodies, at them supporting each other to stand firm in the rain, and then looked at her together.
"What does Miss Qin want us to explain?" Lu Ping asked.
"Are you... okay?" Qin Sang said. The tone was harsh. She didn't often use such caring words.
"I can't die." Lu Ping said.
"I'm afraid your situation will still be very dangerous. Come with me!" Qin Sang said.
"Oh?" Qin Sang's answer surprised Lu Ping and Su Tang. They also didn't expect that Qin Sang, who had been gnashing his teeth at them before, would actually want to protect them at this time. Of course, they didn't know what danger Qin Sang was referring to. The forces in the Xiafeng City Lord's Mansion were killed like this by them. How could this matter go unsolved?
"Thank you." Lu Ping nodded. He will not accept the kindness of others, but will not ignore it.
"However, we'd better go on our own!" Lu Ping said. He didn't ask Su Tang's opinion because he didn't need it. Su Tang must have thought the same as him. their way. Go by yourself. Whether life or death, they all just want to control it themselves.
"Goodbye." Lu Ping said, and Su Tang nodded to Qin Sang. The two supported each other and walked towards the end of the street.
Qin Sang stood still, neither persuading nor blocking.
The Qin family's acceptance and Qin family's protection are what many people are eager to do. Just before she met Lu Ping and Su Tang, Qin Sang thought so too. She would not believe that anyone would refuse such an invitation from the Qin family.
But now, she was not surprised at all by this result.
Two people who dare to complain about a little girl, jump out to challenge her, a young lady of the Qin family, and even fight a bloody path in the street, will they care about the protection of their Qin family?
Of course they don't care.
Because they have their own will and their own choices.
Watching the two people disappearing away, Qin Sang suddenly felt a little envious.
She has a superior status, she has an enviable bloodline, and she is proud of it.
But when I gained these, what did I lose?
She was not willing to kill Ling Ziyan at all, but she had to do it because she had such an identity and because she carried this bloodline.
In fact, she also wanted to be like Lu Ping and Su Tang, risking everything to protect Ling Ziyan and have a hearty fight. This kind of thing should be done by her.
But what she did was the last thing she wanted to do.
The two figures in the dense rain were a little thin, but they were not lonely.
Qin Sang sighed, turned around silently, and walked to the other end of the street. Her path was destined to be different from theirs. She has her glory, and naturally she has the hardships she needs to go through. These are all things she is destined to endure, from the day she was born.
The streets were empty, leaving only the sound of drizzle falling.
The rain kept falling.

I remember to use asterisks on these two days, but I feel like I might forget one day again. Using an equal sign to divide the end of a chapter has been my habit for almost ten years! (To be continued.)
