flashed lightly, dodging their hands. She left the two of them standing dumbfounded in place. However, as long as she was safe and sound, it didn't matter what they did to her."How is that possible T..."Host, you've been working hard all day, and it's late. Let me guard Miss Qingluo while you go and rest for a while." Seeing Xiao Yuge like this, Feng Yanniang was very worried.

“No, I want to wait here for Qing Luo to wake up.” Xiao Yu Ge tightly held Qing Luo’s hand, stroking the wounds on its surface, her heart feeling like it had been harshly brushed over: “I wasn't by her side, she must have been terrified at that time.”

Feng Yanni also felt deeply remorseful: "It's all my subordinates' fault. I should have sent someone to protect Miss Qingluo. Please punish me, master!"

"It's none of your concern, you don't have to blame yourself. I've avenged Qing Luo already. You should go back to sleep. I'll stay here with Qing Luo." She should take Qing Luo wherever she went.

"OP..."

No need to say more, go.

"Yes!"

Night had fallen, Xiao Yu Ge softly brushed Qing Luo's hair that was damp with sweat: "Qing Luo, I'm sorry, I won't ever leave you alone again." If she had gone to the palace with Qing Luo today, would nothing have happened

"Song..." A big hand hugged her shoulders, Qian Tingxuan quietly appeared behind her.

"It's so late, you shouldn't be here." Xiao Yuge didn't move, letting him hold her. This man was like a guardian angel sent by heaven, always appearing when she needed him most. She didn't even have the chance to refuse.

"Seeing you like this, how can I possibly rest assured" Qian Tingxuan's gentle words, coupled with his unique voice, could always soothe her wounded heart.

He reached out and pressed Qing Luo's sleep point: "Don't worry too much, let her have a good night's sleep. Tomorrow when she wakes up, everything will naturally be better." He bent down and scooped her up: "You're also tired from last night, and you need to rest, besides, you're still injured."

"No! I'm going to stay here and wait for Qing Luo to wake up." Xiao Yu Ge refused. Although the shockwave from Zhen Tian Lei's blast injured her internally, she didn't care at all. As long as Qing Luo was alright, she was alright.

"Be good, listen to me."

Qianting Xuan forcefully carried her back to her room and personally treated her wounds until her face regained its usual rosy complexion. Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Qian Tingxuan, I only have Qingluo. I'm really scared, afraid that something might happen to her..." Although Qingluo is still innocent, after enduring such humiliation, what if she can't bear it What should we do then

“You have me, besides Qing Luo! Qing Luo will be fine, don't worry, that girl is stronger than you think.” Qian Tingxuan carefully covered her with a blanket: "Go to sleep."

"Qian Tingxuan..." Seeing that he was about to get up, she instinctively grabbed his hand.

"It's autumn now, the wind is strong at night, I went to close the window." Qiantingxuan smiled and stroked her hand, his heart felt like it was suddenly filled with something, it turned out that she could also be so reliant on him.

"I'll wait for you to fall asleep before I leave. Sleep." He sat back down on the edge of her bed, gently taking her hand in his.

"Mmm." Xiao Yuge nodded slowly, then closed her eyes gently. "Qian Tingxuan, thank you!"

"Fool, do we still need to say thank you between us"

Qian Tingxuan lowered his head and kissed her hand. He caressed her small face, the size of a palm, and only then did he realize she was crying. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly with her breath, each one adorned with glistening teardrops. At this moment, she looked as fragile and endearing as a porcelain doll.

"Ge'er...." he called her softly.

"Qianting Xuan!" Xiao Yuge no longer pretended to sleep, she threw herself into his arms and cried out loud, venting all the grievances she had suffered these days.

She had no home, no family, and now perhaps anyone could step on her head. She was strong, even the owner of the top floor in the world, but setting that aside, she was just a teenager. She thought she could bravely bear everything, but when she saw Qingluo being bullied by those beasts with her own eyes, she realized that there were times when she couldn't take care of everything.

"Ge'er, my little Ge'er..." Qian Tingxuan gently stroked her hair, his heart aching as he closed his eyes. Every tear she shed felt like shards of his own heart breaking. What could he do to comfort her

She didn't know how long she cried for, but finally, tired from crying, she fell asleep in his arms. He carefully carried her back to the bed and tucked her in. He leaned down and gently kissed her forehead.

Looking at her, his eyes were filled with worry. If he wasn't mistaken, the object she was holding today should be a clavicle knife. He had never seen her use it before. Who could have given it to her

Besides the person from Qianji Pavilion, she probably wouldn't find anyone else who could wield a clavicle knife.

What does Ye Wuhuan mean Why would he give her such a rare thing Since the time they were on Tianslang Mountain, he had sensed the unusual relationship between her and Ye Wuhuan. He just didn't ask, and she didn't say anything. Thinking back to Ye Wuhuan's gaze at her that day, inexplicably, he felt a sense of crisis.

Humans are treacherous, he doesn't know Ye Wuhuan's true intentions for approaching her. He's also afraid that he won't always be able to protect her. Gazing out the window at the bright moon, for the first time, his heart felt so heavy, he murmured: "Imperial Uncle, my heart is in turmoil..."

When Xiao Yuge woke up, Qian Tingxuan had already left. There was a box of plum-flavored snacks on the table, and beneath it was a note he left behind. She picked it up and saw it said: "Little Ge'er, new day, don't be sad anymore. This is your favorite plum candy. After eating the candy, smile one, I like that Little Ge'er with smiling eyes and curved brows."

Xiao Yu Ge casually ate one, thinking of his words, the corner of her mouth unconsciously rose, hmm, delicious, take some to Qing Luo.

When she arrived at Qing Luo's room, she found it empty. She was so anxious that she dashed out like the wind: "Qing Luo! Qing Luo!"

"Miss!" Qing Luo's voice came from beside her.

Xiao Yu Ge suddenly turned her head, the moment she saw Qing Luo, her eyes instantly welled up with tears. She took a step forward and tightly hugged Qing Luo, if it weren't for this, she almost lost Qing Luo. It was really good, Qing Luo was still by her side.

"Miss, take a look. What did I bring you" Qing Luo took out a box from behind him.

"I also got something for you." Xiao Yuge took out the box of plum blossom pastries.

It turned out they were all eating plum pastries. The two of them were stunned at first, then burst into laughter!

Seeing Qing Luo finally smile, Xiao Yu Ge’s heart that had been hanging in the air fell. She stepped forward and hugged Qing Luo once more: “Qing Luo, it's good to have you.”

“To have a young mistress like Qingluo is the greatest fortune in her life!” Recalling how the young mistress disregarded her own safety to save her yesterday, she was deeply moved. She was just a maidservant, with no merit or virtue, yet she was so worthy of the young mistress’s protection. The shopkeeper was right; if she couldn't overcome those wounds, how could she repay the young mistress for such deep affectionher snacks.Xiao Yuge gritted her teeth and growled, "Qian Sichin, what are you trying to do"Thousand Thoughts heard her words and smiled, a smile of triumphant joy. “Ge’er, my purpose has always been...
