She had no idea who was fighting outside!
Was it Ye Wu?!
Ye Wu's health was so fragile; she probably couldn't hold on for long.
Could it be Winterson?!
Winterson still had to help Gu Zichen and the others, or else a single lapse in attention could mean complete annihilation.
Should she go out at this moment?!
But if she went out, what difference would it make? Who could she help, or would she just end up being someone's burden?
She kept pacing, hesitating and unsettled.
Suddenly, someone opened her door. She caught the faint sound of light footsteps cautiously entering her room.
Her heart started pounding furiously, racing uncontrollably.
Qiao Xiguan held her breath, her palms trembling.
That faint sound seemed to be scrutinizing the room, carefully, inch by inch.
At that moment, Qiao Xiguan felt as though she might suffocate. She didn't dare to exhale, like encountering a bear deep in the woods—perhaps playing dead would spare her.
The room fell silent.
