With the old woman's momentum, if she had truly collided with the main pillar, at the least she would have suffered a bloody head, and at worst, she might have lost her life.
In that instant, everyone's heart rose to their throats, too tense to even breathe.
Though it was a moment late and fast, Gu Changsheng, who was already known for his speed, now didn't hold back at all. A flash of red, and he barely caught the old woman's body just a second before she would have hit the main pillar, then leveraging the momentum, he jumped to the side and steadied himself after a long dozen feet.
The moment he landed, Gu Changsheng placed his hand on the old woman's wrist to feel her pulse, his eyes revealing his anxiety as he asked, "Auntie, are you alright?"
"No... no problem…" The old woman's face still showed her panicked confusion. Hearing Gu Changsheng's question, she responded woodenly.
"Lady Changsheng?" Uncle Song and Dong Lei cried out in unison as they hurried over.
