"Well, in that case, this engagement token is returned to you."

Hua Qi nodded in agreement, then took out a crystal-clear spirit jade from his pocket and handed it to Shen Changqing.

Shen Changqing took the spirit jade and returned his daughter's spirit jade to Hua Qi.

After the exchange was completed, Hua Qi turned and left with his men, while Shen Changqing followed closely behind, personally seeing him off.

Halfway there, I saw a woman running towards me in a hurry. Before she even got close, she tripped and fell face-first into the grass.

Chu Yunyi grimaced and slowly stood up. When she saw a large group of people standing in front of her staring at her, her face turned pale, and she didn't dare to look up at them.

Why are all these people staring at her? Did she fall badly? But she probably fell because she panicked when she saw so many people. Can they please stop staring at her? They should just leave...

"How dare you! What are you doing? Apologize to the Sword Master of Leisure right now!"

A sharp shout rang out, and at the same time, the immense pressure forced Chu Yunyi to kneel down. Because she refused to kneel, she coughed up blood and finally couldn't bear it any longer and knelt down.

"I'm...I'm sorry...I didn't mean to..."

Chu Yunyi clutched her aching chest and quickly apologized, but as she spoke, tears streamed down her face, a mixture of physical pain and the grievances and sadness in her heart.

She didn't know what she had done wrong or why she was being punished like this. All she wanted was to leave this place as soon as possible and never see these people again.

She cried as she slowly got up, trying to escape the place. But when she looked up, she found that the people hadn't left; they were still looking at her coldly.

"Hmph, what an arrogant little brat," one of them sneered.

Chu Yunyi trembled with fear. She didn't know how to get out of this predicament. She regretted coming here in the first place. She should have avoided them. Now, she had offended them and might die at any moment. She thought pessimistically.

"What do you want?" Chu Yunyi asked, trembling.

“You should be glad you didn’t offend the Sword Master of Freedom, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable,” another person said.

Chu Yunyi listened to these people talking with a pale face, completely at a loss for what to do.

"Alright, don't make things difficult for her. She didn't do anything wrong; she just tripped and fell."

Hua Qi casually grabbed a bottle of medicine and threw it in front of Chu Yunyi, making her heart pound.

"Alright, alright, as long as you're not angry, let's continue on our way."

Seeing that the other party was not angry, Shen Changqing stopped pressing Chu Yunyi.

Hua Qi walked around Chu Yunyi and left, and the group of people followed suit, leaving Chu Yunyi sitting there blankly. After a while, she took a deep breath and barely managed to suppress the fear in her heart.

After a while, she finally came to her senses and realized that she was still alive, and couldn't help but feel fortunate.

However, she was still shaken, her body trembling slightly, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

She picked up the medicine bottle in front of her, retrieved the book that had fallen, and stood up. Her steps were a little unsteady, but she still persisted in walking forward and slowly returned to where she lived.

When she reached the door, she found the sunlight outside to be exceptionally dazzling, giving her a feeling of being in another world.

Back in her room, Chu Yunyi lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and recalled everything that had just happened. She knew that if that man hadn't intervened, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Thinking about this, she realized that this experience made her deeply aware of her own weakness and helplessness.
