Chapter 178: Unexpected Situation

Xu Qing held Qiao Yanhui's hand and was about to walk back when something unexpected happened. Not far from them, a merchant's lantern suddenly fell and smashed into the dense crowd. Xu Qing subconsciously wanted to shout, "Be careful," but in the noisy environment, who could hear a weak female voice? Furthermore, in the next second, the entire street was filled with cries.

"Ah! The lights are coming down!"

"Run!"

"My child…"

"Boohoo… Mom…"

...

Cries rose and fell amidst the commotion. The surrounding people revealed fear and fled. They couldn't care less about anything else and rushed around crazily to escape this dangerous area.

For a moment, everything was in chaos. Xu Qing felt someone push her back and she almost fell. However, at this moment, she was pushed away from Qiao Yanhui.
