Old man Di Qian laughed angrily, a purple vein throbbing on his temple as his teeth emitted a grinding sound, most definitely from the frustration of not being able to hurt My Ran.
"Punish evil? Exactly how do you plan on doing that, punk?"
Mu Ran visibly swallowed.
Seeing that the situation was going downhill with each second, Han Xuhan decided to help Mu Ran by jumping out of the boat and swimming his way to the river bank, after which he'd run until he reached the sect, where he could report the incident to the Elders and send reinforcements.
Granted, the whole process might... take a while, but something was better than nothing!
Surely, Mu Ran would appreciate it if Han Xuhan didn't become a part of the collateral damage in their battle and made sure that the old man couldn't use Xuhan as a weak hostage to threaten anybody!
Where else can a protagonist find such a smart underling? Not in a Xianxia novel, for sure.
