With a command, several black-clad assailants moved, each channeling their Vital Energy to strike at Gu Xiyue.
An intense aura enveloped Gu Xiyue in an instant, her eyes glinting coldly as she engaged in combat with the black-clad assailants.
Among the assailants, the leader was a fourth-order peak ancient martial artist, while the others were either at the Fourth-order Middle Stage or the Fourth-order Primary Stage. With several people attacking Gu Xiyue at once, she found it somewhat difficult to fend them off.
Initially, Gu Xiyue managed to hold her own, but gradually she started to struggle.
Gu Zhiqi stood lazily to one side, leaning against something as she watched, and Chubby Chiu spoke up in her mind, "Zhizhi, aren't you really going to help the protagonist?"
Drama-watching Zhizhi: "What's the rush? This fight is quite exciting."
She said this while plucking a few leaves and began to play with them in her palm, evidently bored.
Chubby Chiu: Fine then.
