"Looking at your condition, Xia, could it be you were robbed too?"
"Was it a girl in white riding a snow-white Celestial Horse?"
They walked up to him, asking one after another, their faces showing a mixture of trembling shock and sympathy.
Evidently, they had already gathered along the way, and a considerable number of people followed behind them.
Although Xia Jie didn't want to admit it, he figured the spectators outside had already seen what happened. With a grim expression, he could only reply, "That's right. That girl in white… she's incredibly strong."
He glanced at the young nobles from the Imperial Capital around him. When he saw the looks of relief on their faces, his mood inexplicably lightened.
'So I'm not the only one this happened to.' The thought immediately made him feel much better…
"Who in the world is this girl? We've never heard of her before, and she only just popped up in Qianyuan Prefecture these past few days…"
