After arranging for cover, some people quickly approached.
Huo Jingrui cursed inwardly as he saw their movements, then quickly adjusted his strategy.
He headed straight for Yunyi.
Yunyi had asked Wei Zijia to pick up some small stones, but Wei Zijia was shivering with fear.
Even so, she bravely crouched down to pick up the stones from the ground.
Although she dropped three of the five she picked up, fortunately, Yunyi had stockpiled plenty in her dimensional space and was merely using Wei Zijia’s stones as a pretense.
Still, Yunyi regarded Wei Zijia more highly for at least not faltering at such a critical moment.
However, Yunyi hadn’t expected them to have reinforcements, let alone ninjas.
By the time Yunyi noticed, Wei Zijia had almost been taken hostage again.
Thankfully, her quick reflexes allowed her to intervene in time.
But this disrupted her plans.
The enemies charging at them, no longer properly blocked, quickly reached their position.
To protect Wei Zijia from harm, Yunyi couldn’t afford to hold anything back and even used her Inner Strength.
Seeing Huo Jingrui approach, she pushed Wei Zijia out of the encirclement and shouted to him, "Get her to a safe place first!"
Huo Jingrui handed Wei Zijia to the soldiers following him. "Take her to Qiao Wenyu. You don’t need to follow me; stay by their side and ensure their safety."
The soldiers hesitated, but Huo Jingrui shouted, "That’s an order!"
The two soldiers had no choice but to drag Wei Zijia away, heading straight for Qiao Wenyu.
Wei Zijia cried out anxiously, "Don’t worry about me! Go and save the others!"
The two soldiers didn’t leave Wei Zijia until they had handed her over to Qiao Wenyu. After quickly exchanging a few words with other soldiers nearby, they sprinted towards Huo Jingrui.
Once Yunyi saw Wei Zijia was safe, she threw herself entirely into the fray. She was grateful she hadn’t slacked off in her training; otherwise, she would have been at a disadvantage today.
The two of them cooperated seamlessly. This gave Huo Jingrui a strange sense of familiarity, a feeling of déjà vu.
