Chapter 101: Rescue (2)_1
Their followers, after witnessing what Situ Xin was capable of, were one by one without any objections. Moreover, they knew that their only choice was to trust Situ Xin, and only through her could they escape this place.
"Let’s go then," Situ Xin led the way out first. The people behind her followed one after another. Because she was followed by others, Situ Xin could not use Qinggong, nor could she teleport. This made their pace much slower.
She directed the retreat along her chosen route while keeping an eye on the patrols nearby. Their escape was fraught with danger, and they had several close calls with the patrolmen. Luckily, Situ Xin’s senses were more acute than most, which allowed them to avoid detection.
It wasn’t until everyone had climbed over the wall and reached a safe place that they finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Phew, I didn’t think we’d make it out. I thought we were going to lose our lives back there," said the youngest soldier in the group, a hint of fear in his afterthought. Hearing his words, Situ Xin knew this person must have recently joined the team. He was a newcomer.
"Baby." Once at a safe location, Situ Haotian was about to ask Situ Xin how she had ended up in such a dangerous place alone, but Situ Xin still had things to do. She knew her uncle must be frantic by now. She gestured for Situ Haotian to wait and switched on her wireless earpiece.
"Hello." Situ Xin had barely spoken a word when Situ Haoran’s anxious voice came from the other side. "Baby, where are you? How are you? Are you okay?"
Hearing Situ Haoran’s anxious voice warmed Situ Xin’s heart. "I’m fine. And it’s not just me who’s fine; everyone is," said Situ Xin, glancing at Situ Haotian and Xiao Guobing, and spoke with a smile.
"What? What did you say?" Situ Haoran was clearly shocked by Situ Xin’s words.
