Chapter 177: Seeking Comfort, No Need to Follow Me

Yan Wanqing, clad in battle armor, mounted her horse with an elegant motion. Atop the high platform, she looked back, as if she saw her father and brothers waving to her. In an instant, her nose felt sour, followed by a rush of hot tears filling her eyes.
