Chapter 178: Unexpected Situation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xu Qing held Qiao Yanhui’s hand and was about to walk back when something unexpected happened. Not far from them, a merchant’s lantern suddenly fell and smashed into the dense crowd. Xu Qing subconsciously wanted to shout, “Be careful,” but in the noisy environment, who could hear a weak female voice? Furthermore, in the next second, the entire street was filled with cries.

“Ah! The lights are coming down!”

“Run!”

“My child…”

“Boohoo… Mom…”

…

Cries rose and fell amidst the commotion. The surrounding people revealed fear and fled. They couldn’t care less about anything else and rushed around crazily to escape this dangerous area.

For a moment, everything was in chaos. Xu Qing felt someone push her back and she almost fell. However, at this moment, she was pushed away from Qiao Yanhui.

Qiao Yanhui sensed Xu Qing’s departure and panic flashed in his eyes. His expression darkened as he tried to rush through these annoying obstacles in front of him. However, Xu Qing seemed to have disappeared into thin air. There were too many people around, and everyone was flustered. Qiao Yanhui couldn’t even see Xu Qing at all.

“Qiao Yi! Qiao Er!” Qiao Yanhui’s cold and murderous voice was very jarring in the crowd.

“Master!” Qiao Yi and Qiao Er rushed in and pushed away the people who were blocking them from approaching Qiao Yanhui. They didn’t care about the people’s cries. Separating from the crowd was the safest move at this time. Otherwise, if there was a stampede, an accident would definitely happen.

“Send Miss and the Young Masters back.” Qiao Yanhui quickly handed the three children to Qiao Yi and Qiao Er.

“Dad, where’s Mom?!” Xu Hanxue realized that she couldn’t see her mother at all and was instantly anxious.

“Be good. I’ll go find your mother now.” Qiao Yanhui comforted her gently, but there was killing intent in his eyes.

“Father, don’t worry. I will protect my siblings” Xu Yuanguang held the dagger in his hand tightly and looked at Qiao Yanhui with determination.

As he looked at his eldest son, Qiao Yanhui’s heart ached, but he was proud as well. This was his son. He patted Xu Yuanguang’s head proudly and gave his son full affirmation. “Alright, I’ll leave my younger siblings to you! You have to protect yourself too.”

A happy smile instantly appeared on Xu Yuanguang’s face when he received his father’s affirmation.

Qiao Yi and Qiao Er didn’t delay any longer. They looked at each other and quickly left with the three young masters in their arms.

Qiao Yanhui went to look for Xu Qing with a murderous expression. However, the crowd was too densely packed and they were all pushing and shoving each other. There was no way for him to find her. When Qiao Yanhui didn’t see that familiar figure, he felt even more frustrated.

At this moment, someone was approaching Qiao Yanhui. A cold gleam flickered as a dagger rushed towards Qiao Yanhui’s back…

Qiao Yanhui had assassination attempts on him all year round, so he was vigilant. He dodged the attack and grabbed the person’s wrist. With a gentle twist, the person’s wrist was broken before he could shout. Qiao Yanhui instantly caught his dagger and raised his hand to slash the other party’s neck. The entire move was done in one go.

However, just as he killed one, another one rushed up behind him. They were like perpetual motion machines that never stopped. They pretended to be commoners and hid in the crowd. They might stab him at any time. Qiao Yanhui couldn’t advance at all.

Qiao Yanhui narrowed his eyes. Anger had already devoured all his patience, and his actions were becoming more and more ruthless. Blood stimulated his nerves, and the screams of the people around Qiao Yanhui had already been blocked out by him. He was like a ruthless killing machine, causing the blood of the killers to splatter around.

As Qiao Yanhui killed more and more people, more and more crippled arms and warm blood appeared in the surroundings. This made the crowd even more chaotic. People seemed to have gone crazy as they tried to escape. If it was because of the light sign, they would only be worried about being hit. However, it was different now. This person was simply a lunatic who killed everyone he saw. Who knew who would be the next to die?!

On the other side, Xu Qing was still in the crowd. However, she felt like she was about to be squeezed into a meat patty. She finally stabilized herself and no longer had to worry about being trampled to death, but there was no one she knew around her. Even Xun Fen and Teng Nian were nowhere to be seen!
