Xiao Xiao was also drenched in sweat, clutching her chest, clearly quite exhausted as well. She glanced around, confirming temporary safety, before exhaling a long breath.
Wiping the sweat off her forehead, her voice still a bit trembling: "Young Master, that was really dangerous just now. If it weren't for your quick reaction, we might have been captured by those soldiers."
Though Ye Qingchen was also somewhat fearful inside, he maintained calm on the surface and smiled lightly: "Those guys were surprisingly prepared beforehand, it seems they anticipated our coming. But the Jiang Ancient Clan's territory is too vast; ordinary soldiers alone can't catch us."
Xiao Xiao nodded, her gaze still carrying traces of lingering fear: "There are too many guards. If we get surrounded again, escape won't be easy."
