Within the Spirit Realm, Ling Jingyan had been tightly bound and thrown to the ground. Several seals had also been placed on her body, and no matter how desperately she struggled, she could not break free.
Because Xiao Yan had been seriously injured earlier, he naturally could not have subdued Ling Jingyan so easily. However, several Dou Sheng had come along this time, more than enough to restrain one Ling Jingyan.
"Xiao Yi Xian, are you alright?"
Xiao Yan immediately came before Xiao Yi Xian, placed both hands on her shoulders, and carefully examined her. His eyes held undisguised concern.
As Xiao Yi Xian looked at Xiao Yan, warmth surged through her heart. The relief of surviving a disaster left her unable to suppress her emotions any longer. She threw herself into Xiao Yan's arms and hugged him tightly, her voice murmuring softly.
"Sorry for making you worry."
Looking at Xiao Yi Xian in his arms, Xiao Yan's heart trembled as well. He held her tightly, his voice by her ear exceptionally gentle.
"It was my fault. I didn't keep watch over you properly."
Xiao Yan was not the slightest bit angry about Xiao Yi Xian leaving on her own. Not at all.
He knew that Xiao Yi Xian did not want him to use Flower Transfer, Wood Grafting. He also knew full well that she did not want him to use it, yet under those circumstances, he had failed to prevent her from leaving beforehand. That was absolutely his fault.
If anything had truly happened to Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Yan feared he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Yi Xian's shoulders trembled slightly. Endless emotion filled her heart, and tears slipped from her moist eye sockets.
She understood.
