Misty Rain Tower

On the grasslands, a wolf pack surged like a torrent, racing towards the four individuals.

The dense pack, numbering over a hundred, was a sight even Helian Lanruo, who had lived on the grasslands for over a decade, had never witnessed before.

"Run!"

Upon seeing the staggering number of wolves, Helian Lanruo shouted urgently.

"It's too late."

Li Ziye and Wen Xiuru drew their swords as they watched the oncoming wolves.

Ahead of them, Bai Wangyu calmed his horse before dismounting and pointing his sword forward.

"Can we kill them all?"

Li Ziye stepped forward and asked.

"Even if we can't, we must."

Bai Wangyu replied solemnly, "Brother Li, take care of yourself."

"Heh."

Li Ziye chuckled lightly, "Do you really think I need your protection? Just kidding, just make sure Princess Lanruo is safe."

"Brother Li, seeing you act so chivalrously is something both the master and I are not quite used to."

From behind, Wen Xiuru stepped forward, smiling at the approaching wolf pack.

"She's a princess; if something happens to her here, we'll have no explanation."

Li Ziye then turned to Little Red Riding Hood and said with a smile, "Old Bai, this mess isn't my doing. I won't take the blame. I said this morning I didn't want to come, but you insisted. And it was your horse that startled them. If Law and Confucianism asks later, you're carrying the can."
