“Mother, how about this? Come with me, and I’ll build a temple hall for you, okay?”

Su Qing hoped to convince her mother by building a temple for her.

“No, I can’t. I had wished to chant scriptures in this nunnery for 49 days.”

Yang Ruxue shook her head. She could only fulfil her wish in the place where she made it. She absolutely could not change the location. That would be disrespectful to Bodhisattva.

Su Qing’s head hurt, yet she was a God of War. She had never had a headache in a fierce battle. Facing a stubborn mother, she was going crazy.

Who could be at ease leaving her here?

Staying with her in the monastery for thirty-nine days was simply torture.

“How about this? Since you insist on staying here, I’ll get Uncle Yang to send someone to protect you.”

Su Qing took a deep breath and learned to compromise for the first time.

“Aren’t you going to stay here with Mother?”

Yang Ruxue asked anxiously when she heard that her daughter was leaving.

“Mother, I still have important things to do. I agreed with my father before I came. I have to go back immediately.”

Su Qing thought of the children who the Wan Clan Army kidnapped. The children’s terrified cries echoed in her ears. She could not let them fall into the hands of the Wan Clan Army. That would be death. Thinking of what happened to her when she was young, Su Qing decided to save those children.

“What is it?”

Yang Ruxue was on the verge of tears. She looked at the girl anxiously with tears in her eyes. She didn’t want to be separated from her daughter again.

“It’s imperative. I left Xiao Qi here and Uncle Yang at the foot of the mountain. I will ask him to climb the mountain to maintain your safety.”

Su Qing patiently comforted Yang Ruxue. She didn’t dare to say that she was going to save the children. Otherwise, she definitely wouldn’t let her go.

When Xiao Qi heard that her Master wanted her to protect Little Master and Grandma, the little buddy was very energetic after being entrusted with such a heavy responsibility. Her big eyes were bright and bright.

Su Qing finally managed to persuade her mother to let her go. She left some pastries for them and hurried down the mountain. When she reached the foot of the mountain, she saw Yang Zhi still standing guard at the same spot. She told him about the situation on the mountain and her plans.

When Yang Zhi heard that she wanted to save the children, his blood boiled, and he wanted to save the children with Su Qing.

Today, before leaving the city, he saw the brutality of the Wan Family Army capturing children on the streets. The blood of a martial artist made him unable to stand by and watch. Those children were all saved by him and Shuisheng. He heard from someone that the Wan Family Army wanted to use these children to distil pills.

Yang Zhi was not a reckless person. At that time, he knew his strength was insufficient to contend with the Wan Clan Army and could only endure it.

Yang Zhi was in a dilemma. He wanted to be like Ji Shuisheng and think of a way to save the children on the road. However, he had Xiao Chen here. If he didn’t save those children, he wouldn’t be able to sleep and eat in peace. If he went to protect the children, if anything happened to Xiao Chen and the Madam, he would regret it and never be able to look at Brother Su for the rest of his life.

“Boss Yang, please protect Madam Su and Xiao Chen. Although the bandits in the nunnery have been eliminated, I’m afraid there are still accomplices.”

Su Qing did not agree to Yang Zhi’s request to follow her. She asked him to stay on the mountain to protect her mother and Xiao Chen, preventing the bandits and their accomplices from invading the nunnery again.

“Alright, I’ll go and protect them.”

When Yang Zhi heard that bandits had broken into the nunnery, he agreed to protect Yang Ruxue and Xiao Chen first. Only then could Su Qing leave with peace of mind.

It wasn’t that she didn’t care about her mother and Xiao Chen’s safety. They were safe, with Yang Zhi and Xiao Qi protecting them.

But her father was in danger. Since the new Zhizhou had sent people to follow Yang Zhi, it proved that the Zhizhou and the Wan Family Army did not believe his father’s words.

Although she killed the three people following her, the Zhizhou would have trouble with her father if they did not return. She had to eliminate future risks before the Zhizhou found trouble with her father.

Su Qing was a vengeful person. This private advisor was the culprit who harmed Xiao Chen and the children. He used these poor children as stepping stones to get promoted and make a fortune. n//0velb1n

If such a despicable person became the Zhizhou, the people of Luo City would be plunged into an abyss of suffering.

Su Qing rode back to the city and found that there was still a strict check on the people leaving the city at the city gate. She quietly rode into the city.

Teahouses and restaurants were the best places to hear gossip. Su Qing was hungry, so she ate at the restaurant. She wanted to figure out the New Zhizhou’s plan and the Wan Family Army’s location.

She went to the biggest restaurant in Luo City and ordered two vegetarian dishes and a pot of wine. She sat by the window. The people at the table behind her were discussing the New Zhizhou. From the tone of their voices, they were very disdainful of his character.

“What is it? Betraying Luan Zhizhou, betraying his Master for glory, and harming so many children, the heavens wouldn’t open their eyes if he didn’t get his retribution.”

“Shh, lower your voice. Be careful; no one hears you and tells the original Private Advisor Qin.”

“Hmph, I’m not afraid.”

Su Qing silently ate and drank. She realized that the wine was bland and tasteless. It was far worse than what she had made.

And this was the best wine in the restaurant! Su Qing put down her glass and listened to the discussions behind her.

“What does the Wan Family Army want those children for?”

“What else can they do? Hearing that Prime Minister Wan was obsessed with alchemy; these children were probably doomed. Sigh, what a sin!”

“Where did they keep the child? Did they take them away?”

“They’re locked up in the yamen. Why do you still want to save them? Guards and Wan Family Army are guarding the yamen. If you go, you will be courting death. Forget it, forget it. Don’t force yourself.”

The discussion of these people provided important news to Su Qing. The children were locked up in the government office, and the Wan Family Army was there.

Su Qing calmly finished her meal and called the waiter to settle the bill. When she left, the people at the table behind her were still discussing.

The shop assistant said, “Masters, be careful of what you say.”

“Sigh, there’s no justice. We’re not afraid of evil people, but we’re afraid of evil people?”

Su Qing left the restaurant and led her horse towards the government office. As she walked, she thought about how to save those children.

It was easy to save people. She could use medicine to knock out the Wan Family Army, but it would be difficult to leave the city. She would have to kill them if she couldn’t do it.

It was still early, so Su Qing returned to the Su Residence to persuade her father to leave. Otherwise, the Zhizhou would cause trouble for her father before the bailiffs came back to report.

When Su Qing returned to the Su residence, she found her father was not home. The butler also refused to tell her where he had gone.

“Madam asked me to pass a message to Second Master. The matter is urgent, and I must tell Second Master face to face.”

Su Qing pretended to be anxious as she rubbed her hands and muttered.

Hearing that Madam had asked Su Qing to come and that the matter was urgent, the butler hesitated. Should he tell Second Master’s whereabouts?

“Young Master, please enter the study room and wait momentarily. I’ll go and find Second Master.”

The butler didn’t tell Su Qing about Su Hanxuan’s whereabouts. He only said that he would help her find him.

Su Qing had no choice but to wait in the manor. The butler ordered the servant girl to bring her some refreshments. Su Qing found that the refreshments the butler ordered were ordinary pastries, not golden cakes.

After the butler left, Su Qing asked the servants to find bamboo, machetes, and cowhide tendons for the system. She wanted to make two sleeve arrows before her father came back. One was for her father to protect himself, and the other was greatly useful to her.

Su Qing focused on making the sleeve arrows, and time passed quickly. After about an hour, she heard footsteps coming from outside the room..
