Qiao Ying and Zhang Yuanzhong exchanged a few intimate words as a couple, then picked up the torches again, instructing Sang Que to escort her out. If the villagers noticed her absence, they would surely be suspicious.
Zhao Qi kept scratching behind his ears, feeling a burning sensation as if something was about to burst out.
Like Zhang Yuanzhong, he was extremely thirsty, longing to drink water, even wanting to submerge his entire body in it.
Qiao Ying didn't know if they could leave the village, so she could only hope for help from the Day Traveling Envoy Xu San.
"My suggestion is to tie them up."
After Qiao Ying left, Sang Que suggested to Xu San and Qin Ze, with Zhao Qi and Zhang Yuanzhong looking at everyone helplessly.
Qin Ze and Xu San exchanged a glance, nodded in agreement, and used the Soul-locking Rope from Zhao Qi to tie the two to the tree in the courtyard.
Zhao Qi knew when to yield, and Zhang Yuanzhong dared not object.
