"Sister-in-law, I'm late."
Feng Xuxu saw the urgency in his expression and frowned, "Is your matter settled?"
"Yes, it has been taken care of."
Then neither spoke. Feng Qing and the others, with the addition of Shan Yi and his group, slowly pulled away from the fray and fell to their knees before Feng Xuxu, "Please punish us, my lady."
Looking at them, Feng Xuxu smiled and shook her head, "Rise. Why would I punish you? You deserve a great reward instead."
The men looked at each other and slowly rose, standing quietly behind Feng Xuxu, watching as the remaining personnel were being purged. It wasn't long before they were shot to death with a barrage of arrows, riddled with more holes than a honeycomb.

"Are those two your good brothers?"
