he Xiao family hurried out of the courtyard. However, when they saw Qian Ting Xuan, they were slightly taken aback, exchanging glances before quickly stepping forward to bow: “We didn't know Your High..."Miss Ginger" When Qing Luo saw that the person who grabbed her was actually Jiang Zhiyi, she couldn't help but be startled. She immediately thought of why Jiang Zhiyi would grab her.

"You vile slut!" The moment Jiang Zhiyi saw Qing Luo, the anger she'd been suppressing surged forth. She raised her hand and slapped Qing Luo hard!

Qing Luo was slapped and stars danced before her eyes. She almost fell.

Ke Jin Zhi knew very well that he had no intention of letting her go. He raised his hand again and gave Qing Luo a crisp slap, so hard that blood welled up at the corner of her mouth. It seemed as if he'd hurt his own hand, for he shook his wrist and motioned to his attendants: "You, go on and beat her relentlessly!"

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the attendant immediately drew his bows left and right. *Pa-pa-pa* a few times, Qing Luo's fair face instantly became swollen and red. Although she was in pain and tears streamed down her face, she still maintained a stubborn expression: "Miss Jiang, my young mistress will be here soon. She definitely won't let you get away with this!"

Ginger knowingly sneered: “Is that so I won’t let her off either! It’s no secret, I brought you here today to wait for Xiao Yuge. This is where you both meet your end. Next year this day will be your funeral!”

"You, you're going to kill the young mistress" Qing Luo was greatly shocked.

"Xiao Yu Ge, that bitch, has ruined me. I wish I could drink her blood and eat her flesh! I left your token outside the city, she'll definitely come. Today, I will dismember her ten thousand times to sate my hatred." Jiang Zhi Yi gritted her teeth, clamping onto Qing Luo's neck with a vice-like grip, slowly tightening it, watching as Qing Luo's face turned crimson from being suffocated. She laughed with glee: "Before that though, I've prepared a little show for the both of you."

"Miss will definitely not let you go..." Qingluo prayed silently in her heart: Miss, please don't come!

"You wretched slave, even as you face death, you dare to be defiant! I want to see if you can still mouth off later!" Jiang Zhiyi flung Qing Luo aside with a forceful swing of her hand.

"Ugh!" Qing Luo's petite body fell to the ground like a ragdoll. Gritting her teeth against the pain, she managed to crawl up after half an eternity.

Jiang Zhiyi clapped her hands, and immediately, the attendants opened the dilapidated temple door. Inside sat a dozen beggars who seemed eager to rush out but were stopped by Jiang Zhiyi's people.

Jiang Zhiyi crouched before Qing Luo, gripping her chin with such force it seemed she would crush it. “You vile servant, your mistress has been gone for so long. It seems she doesn't want you anymore, or perhaps she's too stupid to find that ribbon. But it doesn't matter, I'll deal with you first and then lure her here. What do you think she'll say when she sees you later Will she go insane”

You won't get away with it!

"Throw her in!" Jiang Zhiyi stood up straight, waving her jade hand.

"Miss! You must not come! Don't come!" Qing Luo shouted loudly, and soon she was thrown into the ruined temple. Those beggars looked at each other, but for a moment, none of them dared to step forward.

"You, you... what do you want to do" Qing Luo looked at the beggars eyeing her hungrily, shrinking back in fear.

Ginger Zhiyi broke through the temple and shouted, "You guys can play as you want, as long as you don't die, just play to your heart's content! Afterward, this Miss will reward each of you with ten gold ingots, enough for you to live a life of comfort for the rest of your days!" If you don't make a move, this Miss will kill you all!" After finishing her words, she gestured for someone to shut the temple doors.

"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! Ah!"

Soon, a chilling scream pierced the air, mingled with the callous laughter of the beggars...

Ginger Zhiyi listened to the screams from inside, a cruel smile playing at the corner of her mouth: "Xiao Yuge, I'm going to make you regret ever provoking me for the rest of your life!"

"Is that so Then I'll make you regret touching the people I care about. Your end will be a million times worse than hers!" In an instant, the figure flickered and Xiao Yuge appeared before her in a flash.

"Xiao Yuge!" Jiang Zhiyi might not have expected Xiao Yuge to arrive so quickly, and even with martial arts. She instinctively took a step back.

"Ginger Zhiyi, what have you done to Qingluo" Xiao Yuge didn't see Qingluo, and couldn't help but step closer to Ginger Zhiyi.

Jiang Zhiyi smiled sinisterly: "Xiao Yuge, you are too late. I'm afraid your little maid has already been eaten by those beggars, not even a scrap left!"

"Qing Luo!" Xiao Yuge subconsciously looked towards the closed temple doors. Just then, a scream from Qing Luo came from inside. She didn't have time to think more, and made a gesture as if she was about to rush in.

How could she possibly let her in With a wave of his hand, he commanded, "Stop her! Kill her!"

All of a sudden, those attendants all rushed over!

“Anyone who stands in my way, dies!” Xiao Yu Ge heard Qing Luo’s screams and couldn't hold back any longer. Her hand was already on her lockbone knife. She didn't want to kill anyone, but if these people dared to block her path, they would undoubtedly die!

Xiao Yu's figure flickered, a cold light flashed in her hand, and in the blink of an eye, she had arrived at the temple gate. She kicked open the dilapidated temple door with one kick, but the sight that met her eyes made her anger skyrocket!

Countless beggars were pinning Qing Luo to the ground, his clothes almost completely torn apart as he struggled desperately...

"You... all deserve to die!" At that moment, Xiao Yuge's eyes turned bloodshot, her entire body filled with a murderous aura. All she could think about was killing those people.

"Quick! Stop her!" Jiang Zhiyi didn't see what happened at all. Seeing Xiao Yuge kick open the temple door and her people standing still as if possessed, she immediately ordered them to stop Xiao Yuge.

But as soon as she spoke, the attendants who had been standing there motionless just moments before suddenly slumped to the ground, one after another, blood spurting from their bodies like a fountain...

"Ah!" The maid beside her was so scared she almost fainted.

Although Jiang Zhiyi was cruel, she had never seen such a tragic scene before. She screamed in fright and took several steps back. Luckily, the maid beside her supported her, otherwise, she would have collapsed on the ground long ago.

Meanwhile, a cold light flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes. The beggar who had just been bullying Qing Luo was instantly turned into a headless ghost, blood spraying everywhere, staining the ground red...

"Ah!" Qing Luo screamed in fright, instinctively taking a step back and pulling at the few ragged pieces of cloth that barely covered her. Her entire body trembled uncontrollably as she huddled against the wall, shrinking into a corner.

"Qing Luo!" Xiao Yu Ge rushed over.

"Don't come here! Don't come here!" Qing Luo seemed terrified and didn't recognize Xiao Yu Ge. She waved her hands and screamed, preventing Xiao Yu Ge from approaching.

"Qing Luo, don't be afraid, I'm here!" Xiao Yu Ge cautiously walked forward, trying to comfort her.

"Get away! Get away! Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!" Keqing still screamed in terror.e, the Empress Dowager once again slapped the table. Although her strength was not great, it was enough to shock everyone present."Mother..." The Emperor, always filial, naturally wouldn't disobey the...
