"Come on, hurry up!" Liang Shangshan urged, quickening his pace to catch up with the girl. "We can still enjoy some coolness."
Qi Hao couldn't help but remind him, "Liang Shangshan, she's a Demon Catcher hired by our Qi Family."
"I know that! What's wrong with us tagging along?" Liang Shangshan replied.
"Then why don't you just talk to her directly?" Qi Hao asked.
"What do you mean? It's only our first meeting. If we follow her shamelessly, she might not say anything, but that would be disrespectful. We should be mindful of our behavior," Liang Shangshan said, glancing at Qi Hao. "We're not like you and me; we've been messing around together for decades, so we have a deeper bond!"
Qi Hao understood Liang Shangshan's nature well enough not to engage in further verbal sparring. He turned a blind eye and let him follow along.
Casting a subtle glance at the person ahead, Qi Hao felt an unusual irritation rising within him.
Qi Xiaomian had grown in ways that consistently exceeded his expectations. Surviving a fall from a cliff without a scratch; achieving military honors on the battlefield; choosing to enter The Office of Censors after returning home—an office already powerful in the military, now nearly dominating the court.
What was next? Was he planning to trample on the Qi Family?
Indeed, he was a rebellious son; ever since he was in the womb, they had never gotten along!
Qi Xiaomian and his companions had already stepped through the gates of Yezhou City.
"When I came here a few days ago, there were still some houses left," Qi Xiaomian lamented. In just a few days, the vast city had been laid bare, burned down without any cover.
Yet the Great Fire still raged in certain areas. Upon closer inspection, the flames hovered just a child's fist above the ground, moving about as if excitedly rushing towards anyone alive entering the city.
It really did look like it was running, bouncing with joy, accompanied by laughter that grew louder as it approached—its entire demeanor reminiscent of a child.
Ouyang Jun, who had been dragged to the city gate, began to struggle desperately upon hearing the laughter. Liang Shangshan showed no signs of letting go. In his panic, Ouyang Jun resorted to headbutting and biting.
"It's just children's laughter; is it really that serious?"
The more frantic he became, the easier it was for Liang Shangshan to extract information from him. Satisfied with Ouyang Jun's current state, he pulled him even harder toward the city gate.
"It'll kill us! Retribution!" Ouyang Jun cried out.
"Retribution? What’s this? Did you really do something wrong?"
"Retribution! Retribution! This is all retribution! I don't want to die, let me go, I don't want to die!"
"Ouch, as expected from a blacksmith, your grip is really strong," the Old Man exclaimed, nearly losing his hold. At that moment, Liang Shangshan still had the leisure to tease, "Little Brother, this is all for you. Didn't you see that the Fire Intensity in the city is already spreading out?"
The situation must be resolved; it needs to be dealt with while it's still small. If you keep dragging it out, once it grows stronger, no matter how vast your Territory is, it won't compare to its determination to hunt you down. By then, you will have nowhere to escape, and it will involve countless others in the city.
"I don't care, I can't die!"
Ouyang Jun had escaped from Yezhou City, but he had dragged many people down with him. How could he possibly care about the lives of others? Even when fleeing, he had calculated the fate of many from the Ouyang Family.
