"Sister..." Xiao Manxuan ran forward at the fastest speed, supporting the injured Miss, crying out loud.

In her mind, her sister was a powerful presence, whether in business or Ancient Martial, she was exceptionally gifted. She had never seen her sister so injured, and her heart suddenly panicked.

"Xuanxuan, don't cry, I'm fine." Miss hurriedly comforted.

While the sisters were talking, the Skeleton Soldiers didn't care about your reunion and wouldn't wait for you to catch up on sisterly affection. The space Miss had just cleared was quickly filled again by Skeleton Soldiers, raising their rusty knives and mercilessly chopping down.

Miss couldn't gather True Qi, so she could only hug Xiao Manxuan, using her body to fend off the attacks of the swords. Five or six knives chopped down on Miss' back, as if the next moment she would be hacked to pieces.

However, when the knives came down, no blood was seen. Instead, the knives broke into several pieces; it turned out that Miss' ice silkworm silk dress had withstood the skeletons' slashes.

After surviving one wave of attacks, another wave was upon them, countless skeletons seemingly endless. Miss managed to catch her breath, gathered True Qi, and once again swung her sword, smashing the approaching skeletons to clear a space.

"Sister, you should go find Lin Tian, don't worry about me." Xiao Manxuan shouted with a sobbing voice.

"What silly words, how could I leave you behind?" Miss gasped for breath but spoke with determination.

"It's all my fault, I didn't see the danger of Charlotte and insisted on coming back. If it wasn't for my stubbornness..." Xiao Manxuan said regretfully, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Miss reached out, gently pressing Xiao Manxuan's lips, and said, "Don't say that, sister knows you... you like Lin Tian. If you haven't confirmed his safety, you won't leave, your temper has been stubborn since childhood, never changing a set mind, even hitting a wall you won't turn back."

When she mentioned liking Lin Tian, Miss' tone suddenly softened, but her eyes flashed with a complex light, perhaps even she didn't know what to do.

Having her thoughts exposed by her sister, Xiao Manxuan's face turned crimson, and she quietly glanced at her sister, wanting to see her reaction, but saw the complex look in her sister's eyes.

The little girl appeared pampered, but her mind was delicate and perceptive, knowing her sister's feelings. She softly said, "Sister... do you also like Lin Tian?"

Out of the blue, her sister was asked this, and Miss turned red as well but stubbornly argued, "He's just a jerk, a playboy, who would like him!"

"Sister clearly knows that's just his exterior. Although he likes to joke around and occasionally acts indecently, he has never actually done anything to any girl. He seems indifferent about everything, but he holds deep feelings and loyalty towards friends, even unrelated classmates, he's diligent and helpful..."

"He appears so carefree and unrestrained, but when he's quiet, I see in his eyes an unfathomable depth and sorrow. Sister is so smart, surely you can see this, right?"

Miss was silent, not denying all that Xiao Manxuan said, looking at the approaching Skeleton Soldiers, she spoke tenderly yet firmly, "If you believe you are right, then pursue it bravely. Sister... will certainly help you fulfill your wish."

"Then what about you, sister? Shouldn't you also pursue bravely?" Xiao Manxuan looked at her sister, speaking earnestly.

"I don't need to." Miss replied.

"Is sister worried about taking away someone her little sister likes? But can't we like him at the same time? Who says three people can't be together?" Xiao Manxuan blinked her big eyes, making a shocking statement, as if challenging the power of convention.

Miss was stunned by these words, stammering to her sister, "You... how can you have such thoughts? You little fool, are you crazy?"

Trapped amidst a dire situation, the sisters discussed things unrelated to their immediate danger. If Charlotte knew, would she be furious, already on the brink of death, yet they're discussing how to share a man.

Xiao Manxuan suddenly added, "Sister, why so serious? I was just joking. Lin Tian is so annoying, why does he deserve both of us serving him?"

Miss wiped away a cold sweat, truly frightened by her sister's bold and outlandish thoughts. The image of two women serving one husband was something she dared not even imagine.

Though she lived in high society, knowing well those wealthy families, the phenomenon of two, three, four women existed. Not only men, but wealthy women having multiple men was also not unheard of.

But despite it being others, hearing her sister say something like this made her jump in shock.

"Stop scaring sister like that. My True Qi is running low. If you scare me a few more times, we sisters will really be done for." Miss said helplessly, sometimes she couldn't understand what her sister's little head was thinking.

Xiao Manxuan blinked a few times, lightly responding with "Oh" and then worriedly asked, "Sister, can we really not get out?"

Miss knew that if it were just her, she could still carve a path out, especially without the barrier's constraint. But taking someone without Ancient Martial skills, there were too many variables.

And now, having come this far, could she just leave Lin Tian behind? His situation was perhaps even more dangerous than her own, Miss thought wistfully.

Thinking of Lin Tian, a flash of light suddenly appeared in her mind. Miss remembered something Lin Tian once told her, advising her to trust their neighbor, Zhang Lingyu.

"Xuanxuan, did your classmate Zhang Lingyu give you a peace charm?" Miss quickly asked.

"Yes, I've always worn it. Is there a problem?" Xiao Manxuan asked, puzzled.

Miss used the little remaining True Qi to smash a batch of Skeleton Soldiers and clear a space, panting as she said, "Take it out and show me."

Though puzzled, Xiao Manxuan still took the peace charm from her neck and handed it to her sister.

Miss took the peace charm and examined it, noticing an opening where the string was threaded. She opened it and took out the peace charm inside.

The peace charm was a rectangular yellow paper with scribbled patterns, seemingly no different from those in Taoist and temple offerings, like something even a street witch could casually draw.

"What's your classmate's background? Why would she give you such a gift?" Unable to discern anything special, Miss frowned and questioned, doubting the credibility of Lin Tian's words. This seemed just a symbolic charm.

"Sister, this is just a charm paper..." Xiao Manxuan found Miss' behavior odd, spoke bewilderedly, but she hadn't finished speaking before her eyes widened in shock, yelling, "Sister, watch out, behind you..."
