Glamorous Journey Of The Female Protagonist

Chapter 51 - Xi Qiu City

Li Ming followed behind Old Mo silently with the rest of the four children.

It was just a few minutes before mid night and all of them were going to the decided spot for the exchange.

Li Ming had no idea for what to expect from the coming situation. She was just praying for everything to go according to her plan.

Her sensible mind was warning her that whoever was the mastermind behind this whole dark and shady business was not someone normal.

But no matter what she had to get her orphanage out of the situation.

They finally reached the decided spot after walking for a few more minutes.

Li Ming observed the area around her. Although the whole area appeared to be silent and still, but she knew that more people were there, residing in the darkness.

One of those people was Ruoshan, who was hiding behind the mask of darkness, keeping an eye on the situation.

She didn't wanted him to come along but also couldn't leave him. So, the final decision was that he would follow them secretly and won't interfere until she would say.

The other people were of course the group which had came to retrieve the children.

After a minute or two, four people finally appeared with a carriage.

Li Ming waited patiently as she saw the group walking towards the pentagram that she had drawn earlier in the middle of the road. It was barely visible to mortal eyes.

The carriage stopped at a little distance from them and the four men started walking towards them.

Just as she had thought, none of them noticed the pentagram and before they could realize that something was wrong, they were already standing inside the pentagram. There the four men stood like a statue as they were under the spell of the pentagram.

"There's no one around." Ruoshan said as he came out of his hiding place. His job was to find out if these people had any backup.

But looked like they were a little too confident in the Old Mo to not betray them.

"You can now return back to the orphanage. I'll deal with the matter." Li Ming said to the Old man.

"But Miss...!" Old Mo wasn't ready to leave his Master in the hands of these monsters.

Although she was powerful and smart but at the end of the day, she was still a little girl.

How could he let her go into a tiger's den when he knew that the tiger was hungry and waiting for his prey.

"Don't worry. Do as Ming is saying. I'll take care of her." Ruoshan said as he saw that Old Mo was not going to let Li Ming go alone.

Old Mo looked at the man who was like a shadow of Young Miss. He knew that this man was close to his Master and also very skilled & powerful.

After a few more seconds of coaxing, Old Mo finally, but reluctantly, agreed to return back to the orphanage.

Li Ming went inside the pentagram and looked at the four men. She muttered something in the ear of each of them and the four of them nodded their heads.

Li Ming then freed them out of the pentagram. The four men placed all the other children inside the carriage with Li Ming and started towards the Xi Qiu City.

Xi Qiu City was actually the second most powerful City in the Han Empire after the Imperial City.

It was famous for it's market ground. The city was solely built as a business sector. There were restaurants, shops, auction houses, tea houses and brothels.
