Chapter 426: Chapter 426: Ambition
Zhan Xuerou looked at Wu Qing, her voice soft and pleading, “Wu Qing, can you help me kill those beggars?”
Wu Qing kept walking without stopping. A carriage appeared in front of them.
Wu Qing urged, “Quickly get in the carriage. I killed King Wei’s men. It’s possible there are others nearby. He will definitely come for revenge!”
Zhan Xuerou had no choice but to get in the carriage. Among those beggars, two had insulted her, and some had touched her body with their filthy hands.
Her body was sullied, and she didn’t want anyone to know this secret.
“Wu Qing, I beg you, don’t tell anyone about this!” Zhan Xuerou’s face was pale as death, and scalding tears streaked down her cheeks.
Wu Qing nodded and asked, “Do you have any family left?”
“Family?” Zhan Xuerou sneered, “They have all abandoned me. I am completely alone now, with no one to rely on.”
Suppressing the pain from her wounds, Zhan Xuerou grabbed Wu Qing’s hand and said, “Wu Qing, can you take me to wander the world together?”
Wu Qing pulled his hand away. “Miss Xuerou, I admire your literary talent, but I prefer wandering alone. I refuse to assist King Wei in perpetuating evil, my apologies… I just want to roam the martial world by myself.”
Zhan Xuerou looked at Wu Qing dejectedly. Tears streaming, she asked in shame, “Do you… do you think I’m filthy?”
She had always held herself above others and looked down on most men, while guarding her chastity as her most prized possession. Now, she had been sullied by the world’s dirtiest, most wretched beggars.
What do you think?
