Xiang Ying didn't expect to encounter Jie Chen here.
So when she landed, her mind momentarily wandered from nervousness, nearly causing her to lose her balance.
Before she could make a split, Jie Chen reached out a hand and steadied her firmly.
Their brief contact ended as he quickly withdrew his hand.
Xiang Ying paused, then gave a slight cough: "Thank you..."
Jie Chen cast her a cold glance without a word, then abruptly turned his attention to the Master.
Looking at Xiang Ying's attire, could it be that she was mistaken for Princess Xining and captured?
The thought that Xiang Ying might have been detained here all these days crossed his mind.
Jie Chen knew that she wouldn't be maltreated, but a nameless rage still rose from the depths of his heart to his cold, dark eyes.
"Sever the tendons of his limbs," Jie Chen commanded icily, "and drag him outside. Don't let a single bandit escape."
Acid Scholar snapped back to reality: "Yes!"
