Bab 351: Chapter 350: Heart Grilled on Fire

350

Thinking of the last time she saw those bodies of various sizes covered with mats on the main street, and remembering the displaced people wailing their hearts out, Xiao Ruo felt a dryness in her throat.

If... if she hadn't lent him a helping hand on Zibi Mountain that time, would countless soldiers of Qingping City not have needlessly sacrificed their lives?

If she had been ruthless enough to land a deadly blow in the courtyard that time, would those innocent people not have been spared a tragic death?

Xiao Ruo, as if in a trance, left the County Government Office and aimlessly walked the streets, unwittingly turning into the same alley she was abducted in last time.

Upon seeing that courtyard, Xiao Ruo shuddered to alertness.
