The man did indeed release her, then looked around and asked, "Where is this?"
"Qiu Residence," Qiu Ruyue responded to him very calmly.
The man raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, "Qiu Residence? I've never heard of it. But don't worry, today I'm borrowing this place to take shelter from trouble. I will surely repay you another day."
"There's no need," Qiu Ruyue thought for a moment and said, "Wait until the people pursuing you have left, then you can go."
The Qiu Family did not need others' gratitude; as long as no mortal danger was brought upon their home, that was enough.
The man narrowed his sharp eyes, defensively asking, "How do you know someone is after me?"
"My ears can hear the footsteps of several people outside."
"You know martial arts?!" The man asked in a surprised whisper.
When he had covered her mouth just now, he had tested for her Inner Strength, and she clearly did not know martial arts.
