Qin Yue stood beside Ye Qingchen. Despite the worry and unease in her heart, seeing Ye Qingchen's unyielding gaze ignited a spark of hope within her.
Even though she knew Elder Li's strength was unparalleled, she still chose to trust Ye Qingchen, believing that they could find a way out.
However, Elder Li's cold laughter and mocking voice made Qin Yue's heart sink even further. She knew that the upcoming battle would be exceedingly tough, possibly a matter of life and death. This formidable opponent in front of them wouldn't let them go easily, but they absolutely could not give up without a fight.
At this moment, the soldiers who had come with Jiang Qi stood at a distance, each wearing a relaxed expression, their eyes tinged with indifference and disdain.
Though they were far away, they clearly heard Ye Qingchen's firm response earlier. Upon hearing his words, the soldiers exchanged glances, unable to suppress mocking laughter.
