Huichen headquarters.
The infirmary was covered in gloom as they all looked at Qiu Ru, Qiu Qi, and Qiu Ershi lying on the beds while unconscious. Qiu Ru has burns all over her body. Qiu Qi's face was destroyed and they don't know whether it could be cured. They know how much Qiu Qi loves her appearance. Aside from her face, she was also gravely injured in her arms and legs. As for her internal organs, Qiu Wu's master who returned to Huichen to temporarily replace Qiu Wu was still checking on her. Then, there's Qiu Ershi who looked skin and bones.
"I am sorry." Yan Rui apologized while he clenched his fists. He lowered his head. "I didn't protect her well." He said. He is referring to Qiu Ru, whom Qiu Qi asked him to help since Qiu Ru was going to the Taoyan Kingdom to gather information.
Qiu Shijiu's expression is heavy. He shook his head. "It isn't your fault. We are already grateful enough that you helped us look after her." He said.
