Chapter 2244

Clearly she no longer cared about whether she was exposed or not—more likely she was already exposed and was fighting the werewolves, roaring as she fought.

Li Ruanyu turned her head to look at Guan Zhiyong and the others diagonally ahead.

Guan Zhiyong's figure was relatively solid, but his expression hadn't changed much, though the corners of his eyes seemed to be twitching too.

Setting everything else aside, now really wasn't the time for false politeness.

Time was far too tight.

Shangguan Ting was indeed hot-tempered, somewhat willful and reckless.

But people like that were usually also very simple, easy to get worked up.

Just like a brute.

Yesterday she might have fought over some trivial matter, but if today you took the initiative to hand her a cigarette, she might end up treating you to a drink.

If an enemy came, she could even charge in to the death to protect her teammates.

She probably saw the message in the group chat too, saw it and immediately got worked up.

And it wasn't just talk.

She really did charge back in.

Two lords per family, plus all the ordinary family members...

That was already decent enough.

Being able to keep two lords meant the other family members' lives wouldn't be too hard.

And there was still hope of rebuilding the clan.

But it couldn't be any more than that.

If too many lords were concentrated in Shangguan Ting's territory, she'd draw too much attention from the werewolves and really wouldn't be able to break out.

Although she was impulsive, she still had some basic rationality

Yang Zheng 【Right away, I'll send them right away!】

Duan Li 【Thank you, Captain Shangguan, you're truly the great benefactor of our Duan family—our family members and the two lords have already gone over】

Kong Mushan 【I didn't... I... anyway, thank you, Captain Shangguan】

Jin Qianliu 【... I'm sorry, it was me talking nonsense before. Today I apologize to Captain Shangguan, and I thank you for your great kindness and virtue. In my next life I'll repay you double】

Lin Wujiu 【The entire Xiao family bows in thanks to Captain Shangguan】

Qi Hengying 【Thank you, Captain Shangguan, for your great kindness】

Xiao Qiao 【But I'm in the middle of fighting, and I have a lot of family members in my territory—I can't send them over!】

Lin Wujiu 【Send whoever you can send, there's no time left】

Yao Feng 【Shangguan Ting, when you break out later, follow this route. You're definitely going to have to break through anyway, so just take the shortest path】

Shangguan Ting 【Zhao Shizhang, where are your family's people? Why hasn't your family sent anyone over?】

Zhao Shizhang 【We're all in combat, we can't send them over】

Shangguan Ting 【What the—!! Damn it... Did all your Zhao family's fortune get concentrated on Zhao Chi's head? Anyway, none of you are getting out anyway, so activate all the formation energy and push out any two you can. I can't wait any longer】

Zhao Shizhang 【Alright!】

Li Ruanyu looked toward the east.

That was where those families' battlefield was.

The heads of each family should all be separately holding off the werewolves.

Shangguan Ting was probably about to start her breakout.

But right now nothing could be seen at all.

Only a monotonous stretch of grey dimness.

Nothing could be heard either.

But the sounds of shouting and killing seemed to have reached her ears.

Relying only on Shangguan Ting's words...

Could she make it out?

Li Ruanyu turned her head back again.

She still couldn't see Zhao Chi, only Su Qin.

Zhao Chi already found it a little strange.

Li Ruanyu had turned her head back twice—she was clearly looking for him.

Judging by her expression, it clearly wasn't to confirm whether he was keeping up with the group.

There was definitely something else.

Zhao Chi sent a message:

【What's wrong, sis? Something you want to say to me?】

Li Ruanyu was silent for a moment.

Then she forwarded some of the messages from just now to Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi stared in astonishment at the conversation log from just now.

Only then did he understand why Li Ruanyu had that expression.

Zhao Chi was currently inside Su Qin's body, otherwise his own expression probably wouldn't have looked good either.

Most of the Zhao family couldn't escape...

And Shangguan Ting had actually gone to lead the various families' people in a breakout?

Was that reasonable?

Not very reasonable.

But it really fits Shangguan Ting's personality, and it really does seem like something she'd do.

Truly unexpected.

Zhao Chi didn't doubt Shangguan Ting's strength, but for her to break out alone from a werewolf encirclement — that would be hard too, wouldn't it?

Zhao Chi: 【What type of lord is Shangguan Ting?】

Li Ruanyu: 【Martial-Agility type】

Martial-Agility type…

Can fight and run fast at the same time?

Then she should be able to manage, right?

Should they go provide support?

Who's going to provide support?

Captain Yao Feng has already made it clear she won't send anyone.

Zhao Chi: 【What's Shangguan Ting's combat power?】

Li Ruanyu: 【Not sure. Last time I saw her it was around 150 combat power, but that number's pretty hollow. I estimate she's around 2 million.】

2 million combat power?

She really is strong.

But not strong enough.

Facing the werewolves currently surrounding her, she's genuinely very fragile.

They really should give her some support.

Zhao Chi wasn't actually trying to support her.

The main thing was wanting the Zhao family's bloodline to continue.

He himself… really didn't count as a member of the Zhao family.

If he just let the Zhao clan be wiped out like this…

Zhao Chi felt terrible about it too.

Since Shangguan Ting was willing to do it, that worked out perfectly.

What he needed to do now was go intercept and assist her along the way…

And it could only be him who went.

At most, he'd bring Li Ruanyu and Su Qin along.

But should he go or not?

Was it worth risking his life for something like the Zhao family's bloodline?

Zhao Chi hesitated.
