However, she did not even manage to touch Ji'er's dress when she was suddenly struck by a swift palm attack.
She was not prepared for it and was sent flying from the attack.
"Ah…"
The woman screamed and crashed against a wall before falling to the floor with a loud thud.
"Lil Qi!" Ji'er ran toward the man who suddenly appeared with great delight.
Chu Qi reached out to hold her in his arms. "Are you alright?"
Ji'er shook her head. "I'm fine."
The woman struggled to get up but there were already numerous sharp swords held against her.
As the man walked closer to her, the woman's eyes widened in disbelief and she roared, "Aren't you busy accompanying the fake princess shopping? What are you doing here?"
"You're too smart for your own good! I knew that you would take the opportunity to sneak into the mansion, so I returned halfway through my journey." Chu Qi shot her a look and said to his nearest guard, "Take her away!"
