Chapter 486: Conflict Erupts
Just as the danger reached a tipping point, a mouse passed by, scaring Qian Xue out of her wits. In her fright, she jumped and almost screamed. This disrupted her spell-casting, freeing Gu Fan and Su Hui from their immobilized state.
Seeing a golden opportunity, Gu Fan and Su Hui acted together, overpowering Qian Xue and pinning her to the ground.
Ning Qi, who was watching from the sideline, couldn’t help but sigh and shake her head in disbelief. "Are you serious? This afraid of a mouse? Such an obvious weakness."
Gu Fan did not pay attention to Ning Qi, as he no longer saw her as a threat. He went straight towards the large, crimson flower bud, bent the stem downward, and broke open the bud. He carefully pulled Lin Xi out from inside.
"What should we do!" Ning Qi wanted to intervene, but she knew that she was no match for Gu Fan.
Qian Xue, watching anxiously, realized they were about to lose everything they had fought for. She yelled at Ning Qi, "What are you just standing there for, Ning Qi? Do something! Stop Gu Fan!"
"Keep quiet, or I’ll stuff a mouse in your mouth." Su Hui’s threat was very effective. Qian Xue quickly changed her tune, "No, please, sister. I surrender, okay? Ning Qi, don’t interfere anymore. Let’s just leave it at that."
Upon hearing this, Ning Qi could only shake her head. "Oh my God, so weak-willed."
At this moment, Gu Fan was helping Lin Xi out. Lin Xi was swaying with each step, her head felt heavy, and she looked noticeably pale. Despite all this, she didn’t forget to scold Gu Fan, "How could you come only now? Do you have any idea, what I’ve been through? If you arrived any later, you’d have ended up a bachelor."
