Watching me rapidly approach from ahead, Xuanmiao, who was far away, froze for a moment before abruptly flying in the opposite direction!
"I... What was with that reaction?" Seeing her actually fly farther and farther away from me, I couldn't help freezing as well.
Although Xuanmiao had chosen to leave at this point, I felt awful about it, but I also knew that I had forcibly entangled and resonated with her just now, leaving her aggrieved.
Forcing her like that had obviously been wrong. I had been a little too hasty.
Perhaps years of living in a constant state of war had gradually stripped away the gentleness I once held toward women, replacing it with greater decisiveness.
I didn't turn around to chase her. After all, I might not be able to force her to stay, and if I turned back, the two Voids who had spotted me might take the opportunity to escape.
That would be like throwing away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds—I'd gain nothing either way.
Having made my decision, I immediately appeared at the area where the escort was waiting at top speed.
The other party had spotted me and was still hesitating over whether to run, while the new Void stood there with his hands behind his back, looking at me coldly as though he didn't take me seriously at all.
I was just thinking about what to say when, right before I opened my mouth, I sensed an aura rapidly approaching from the distance.
Xuanmiao had actually returned!
When she met my gaze, she couldn't help looking away. She rubbed her left hand against her right arm, seeming rather embarrassed.
I glanced at her without saying anything.
Whatever it was, we could talk about it later. At least she had come back.
