Xiang Ying was surprised: "Aren? What are you doing here?"
Aren waved his hand, gesturing to the person who brought Xiang Ying: "You go back first and stand guard at the door."
"Yes." After the man left, Xiang Ying took two steps forward.
Aren hurriedly raised his hand to stop her: "Big sister, don't come close, I've contracted the plague."
Xiang Ying was startled: "They said you ran away from the Martial Arts Arena by yourself. Why would you do something so foolish? Everyone outside has the plague; why didn't you wait for the snow to stop before leaving Bai City?"
Aren pursed his lips: "I snuck in among them on purpose."
It was only when Aren spoke that Xiang Ying realized what this child had done!
He did it to save her.
Aren saw Xiang Ying being taken away by the Sixth Prince's men and locked up in the granary. He knew the Sixth Prince was likely to let Jie Chen and the others die in there.
