"Thank you, Azure Emperor, for saving our lives."
The Azure Emperor cast a glance at them and said indifferently, "You're overthinking it. I only killed those who sought to take my disciple's life. " The implication was clear: saving them was never part of the plan; he had merely eliminated them all because they had sought to kill his disciple.
"What are you still standing there for?" The Azure Emperor turned and walked toward the city, but seeing Yun Qi still standing in place, he glanced back at her.
"Mm, I'm coming over!" Yun Qi called out, turning to Shen Shiqi. "Let's go! My master and I are staying at an inn in town. Once we get there, I'll help bandage your wounds."
