Elder Jing completely ignored Yi Chen's anger-filled words. Her attention was fully focused on Zheng Ru's critical condition as her countenance turned ugly.
'Heavens! I overreacted!' she exclaimed in her mind, seeing the grievous state of Zheng Ru.
'To think I would dare injure her father,' Elder Jing gulped involuntarily as a sense of great fear rose in her heart.
Haphazardly, she started searching for some healing pills inside her pendant. However, even after spreading her senses to the entirety of her subspace, she was unable to find a suitable item.
SLAM!
The doors of the dining room were slammed open all of a sudden as guards rushed in, only to cry out in shock.
"Master Ru!"
They exclaimed in horror, seeing his bloodied state and the next moment their gaze fell upon Elder Jing, who was standing not far away from him.
"You dare!"
Their countenance immediately turned aggressive, and they rushed towards Elder Jing with their swords directed straight towards her.
