Chapter 1963: The Battle XV
Qiu Hui fell silent.
She understood that what the elder said was true.
If Nine Gate had not arrived in time, maybe all the people in Tianya’s manor would have died in the enemy’s hand.
Without them, Xia Xia would have been taken away by the Nan family.
On the contrary, Nine Gate would try to raise her as Holy Maiden and would not harm her.
“Maiden Qiu Hui…” Xiao Ya stepped forward slowly. She smiled at Qiu Hui and turned to look at the elder in grey robes. “Let’s take Xia Xia to Nine Gate together.”
Xia Xia was in danger now, so they had to think for her safety.
Furthermore, when Feng Ruqing returned, they would know that Xia Xia had gone to Nine Gate, and they would go there to take her back.
If they did not leave now, perhaps… The Nan family would come again.
Moreover, this group was quite strong, and they had no way to resist.
The elder let out a sigh of relief. Yes, he did try to snatch Xia Xia.
However, this girl seemed to be a little too mature; she was not like an ordinary child.
He could not trick this kind of child, and he could not be too harsh. Otherwise, it would only provoke Xia Xia and make her rebel.
However…
The elder did not know that when Nine Gate had sent someone to snatch Xia Xia, she was no longer destined to like Nine Gate.
“Let’s go. It’s already late. This little girl may also have suffered tremendous shock. We should go back to Nine Gate to rest.”
The elder smiled lovingly, trying to show his best side in front of the little girl.
Xia Xia pursed her lips; she turned to look at Nalan Jing. “Uncle, will Mother and Father come back?”
Nalan Jing was slightly stunned and nodded. “Yes, they will come back.”
“Oh…”
Xia Xia smiled brightly.
“I know that Mother won’t leave me behind. She promised to come back soon.”
The little girl looked up to the distant sky and smiled brightly.
But…
Xia Xia did not know when they part; it would be several years before they met again.
After Xia Xia followed and left, she always felt as if she had overlooked something but could not remember it for a while. So she simply brushed that thought aside.
The sun had set.
In the small lake of Tianya’s manor, a green snake opened its eyes.
It yawned and swam slowly to the shore.
It had just woken up from a comfortable sleep.
However, when it came ashore, it realized that something was wrong.
Silence.
The entire Tianya’s manor was too quiet.
It made the snake feel a little uneasy.
Qing Zhu scanned the whole courtyard. It saw many dead bodies, making it jump in shock.
“What is going on here?”
‘What happened to Tianya’s manor?
‘It was just asleep for a while… How come so many people have ended up dead?
‘Oh, and where is Xia Xia?’
Qing Zhu panicked and hurriedly looked around for her. But Xia Xia, Tang Yin, and the others had all disappeared.
It searched all over the entire manor but could not find a single familiar figure.
At this moment, Qing Zhu was scared and had broken down into tears.
“I’m doomed. Xia Xia is gone. When Master and Princess come back, they will definitely kill me.”
Its tears of panic fell. It then hurriedly packed its stuff and held its bag on its back.
“I’d better run for my life first. If I’m lucky enough, I can also find out who has abducted Xia Xia and then bring her back safely…”
This place was not suitable for a long-term stay, so it did not dare to wait any longer. It panicked and left.
