"What did you say!!"
Qi Peier's voice rose involuntarily.
"It's... it's our people, found dead at the entrance."
Qi Peier's body weakened, and she fell into a chair nearby.
"Who did it?"
"I don't... don't know."
They only saw the bodies; they didn't see who placed them there.
Qi Peier felt a chill all over, her fingertips trembled.
Soon someone came to call Qi Peier; she composed herself and told them to go buy some things she needed.
This was a privilege given to her by the Clan Leader, nothing suspicious.
But Qi Peier didn't know that after she left, the Clan Leader immediately ordered surveillance on her people.
"I can't wait any longer, I need to leave here." Qi Peier said to her confidant when she returned.
"Saintess, how will we get out?" Others might find a way, but...
The Saintess is different.
"There must be a way! If the former Saintess could escape, why can't I?" Qi Peier gritted her teeth, "I will leave here, you... won't betray me, will you?"
