"I... I can also... testify!" Just as Gongsun Zhi's words fell, a feeble child's voice interjected.
The red-clad female cultivator saw this child, visibly startled, and quickly asked, "Qin'er, what's happened to you?"
No one would have thought that this child was actually the granddaughter of the red-clad female cultivator. Yet now, the child no longer appeared adorable as usual; her face was ghastly pale, and her whole body was covered in burns, even one arm was missing.
"How is this possible? How could she still be alive?" Gongsun Zhi's heart sank, her face disbelief-stricken.
"No need to be shocked; earlier, in your haste to leave, you carelessly tried to burn Qin'er to death, but I managed to protect her with a hidden technique! It's just unfortunate that you left too quickly to notice!"
