Capítulo 71: Treaty

Xinyi's sword vanished from her hand. It was now with Lifen. The mother-in-law held the blade up, diverting Mafan's sword from hitting Xinyi's face and kicked Sir Gerd's (Mafan) stomach, pushing him away from them. Her short height came in handy. She successfully inserted herself between them with ease because she was shorter than Xinyi.

"Run to the gate while I'll stop him," said Lifen. She fixated her attention at Mafan's every step and movements. Lifen would not allow this man to lay a finger at Xinyi and Ming.

"But you?" Xinyi was hesitant to leave Lifen by herself.

"Don't worry about me. I can handle this scoundrel. Go, now!" Lifen said as she swung the sword several times in front of her. And gestured a palm at Mafan encouraging him to attack first.

Xinyi was unwilling but obeyed when she saw Lifen was in full control. Mafan tried to catch up with Xinyi but Lifen stubbornly blocked his path with equal speed. His annoyance flared up.
