But the fact is, none of them escaped, and they received not the slightest news of Qian Jiyun being here.
"Shadow Killer, what are you doing? Why aren’t you quickly leading the people to retreat?!" The masked man shouted at him angrily when he saw him not moving.
Only if Shadow Killer acted first could he take advantage of the gap while Qian Jiyun dealt with Shadow Killer and those Black Clothes people to escape right under Qian Jiyun’s nose.
At this mont, what good teacher or bad teacher, how could it be more important than his own life? As long as he could escape, the others could all beco stepping stones for him.
"Master, can we still retreat?"
Shadow Killer looked at the masked man with cold eyes, sneered, and asked in return.
He wasn’t really stupid; he could see what was on the master’s mind. Trying to escape amidst the chaos, that also depended on whether Qian Jiyun would give them that opportunity.
Would Qian Jiyun co here alone? Obviously, there were others, right? Why couldn’t the master understand this point?
"You retreat first, I’ll lead the people to clear a path for you." He said again before the masked man could speak.
Hearing Shadow Killer’s words, the masked man almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
He wanted to find a chance to survive while Shadow Killer and the others retreated, not to retreat first himself and let Qian Jiyun focus on catching him.
It seed that at critical monts, one couldn’t rely on anyone else; it was still up to oneself.
"Master, let’s retreat first and let Shadow Killer stay to hold them off." Aunt Qiu thought Shadow Killer’s suggestion was good; she didn’t want to die here. As long as Shadow Killer could hold Qian Jiyun off, she could still escape with the master.
So she quickly ca to the masked man’s side and quietly suggested.
At this mont, Qian Jiyun was alone. They still had a chance to leave, at most just getting a bit injured.
The masked man glanced at Aunt Qiu. If it weren’t for the mask on his face, anyone could see the iron complexion on it. Coming to him now to suggest escaping together?
Did they think he didn’t want to?
Now Qian Jiyun’s gaze was locked on them; whoever moved first would die most miserably.
Even Shadow Killer understood this truth, but his most trusted Aunt Qiu was like a fool, unable to see it at all. How had he kept such a stupid person by his side all these years?
"You go first, Shadow Killer and I will cover the retreat."
Even though this woman was stupid, there were advantages to stupidity. Might as well let her go first, perhaps Qian Jiyun would only focus on chasing her, and he’d have a chance to leave.
"? I go first?"
Aunt Qiu heard this, feeling like the greatest luck in the world had struck her head.
She never knew she held such an important place in the master’s heart; at such a perilous mont, the master actually let her go first.
It seed that her ticulous care over the years wasn’t in vain; at this critical mont, it had played its part.
"Master, then I...will go first."
Although she felt a bit strange inside, she didn’t want to die here, so she didn’t care what was strange and turned to prepare to run.
But just as she turned, a blossom of blood exploded from her chest, causing her to pause, looking down incredulously at her chest.
"I..."
Without finishing a sentence, she leaned forward, eyes open as she fell to the ground, completely without breath.
