It could be one of the accomplices present, or that disfigured old Confucian Scholar hidden somewhere, and Uncle Bai would kill one until they found out about Rong'er's 'whereabouts'.
What, you ask if she's not in a hurry slowly climbing up the steps? Aren't you afraid something might happen to Zhao Rong during this time, missing the last chance for rescue?
Little Qian'er gave a bitter smile in her heart.
Ever since he abandoned his last chance to escape, giving her the entire 'thousand miles', staying alone at the Bamboo Forest Courtyard to face an old Golden Core Realm monster, the outcome was almost determined.
Because she brought Uncle Bai back, even if in a dire rush, a tea's time had already passed.
For a Golden Core Realm cultivator, Rong'er has only three possible fates.
One is to meet a tragic end directly in the courtyard.
One is to be taken to another unknown place, where he also meets a tragic end.
