Upon seeing Ye Qingchen's party, the woman was overjoyed and immediately cried out for help.
"Kind people, please save me!" As she spoke, she scrambled toward Ye Qingchen, Li Zongrui, and the others.
Ye Qingchen frowned slightly. Although this was the edge of the Great Wilderness Mountain Range, it was still a desolate area. How could a weak woman appear here, let alone be pursued by a group of men? What puzzled him even more was that her pursuers were all dressed alike, clearly indicating they were from the same sect or family.
Just as Ye Qingchen was about to speak, Li Zongrui's sense of justice flared. A group of grown men ganging up on a young woman—did they have no shame? Without a second thought, he stepped in front of the woman, shielding her. An almost imperceptible smile touched her lips.
None of this escaped Ye Qingchen's notice. He said to Li Zongrui, "Brother Zong Rui, it's best we don't meddle in this."
