Xiao Qing

Thump~

Yao Ye pushed open the door and entered without Qian Ye's permission. She really didn't treat herself like an outsider! Qian Ye thought to herself, getting out of bed and walking to the doorway. "It's late, it's cold. Why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing in my room?"

"Oh..." Yao Ye blinked and smiled, "Hehe, Brother Ye, I just couldn't sleep, so I came to chat with you. 😾 👤👮"

"Let's go for a walk outside then?" Qian Ye said as he left the room. Yao Ye a little disappointed, closed the door for him, and immediately followed after him.

"Brother Ye, in that battle Bai Tian, you were the most powerful person I've ever seen in my life. Even my great-grandfather never reached your level," Yao Ye flattered him.

Qian Ye patted her head. "Of course, if I'm not powerful, who is? Besides, your great-grandfather was only Nine-Star Dou Huang, while I'm Peak Dou Zong. There's no comparison."

"That's true!" Yao Ye's expression suddenly changed. He opened his mouth, but still said, "That woman has no good intentions. You must protect yourself, understand?"

What?

The Qian Ye Chiba was completely bewildered, not understanding which woman was asking, "Who?"

"Ya Fei, just now at the dinner table, I saw the way she looked at you, like she wanted to devour you. That woman is terrifying."

Oh well!

Qian Ye hadn't expected that Yao Ye was talking about her.

"You really stole the show today! Not only did you defeat Yun Du and the others, but you also impressed the entire Mittel Clan. At first, they were laughing at you, but now they're practically begging you to stay and help them."

Qian Ye simply smiled; his current strength was beyond question.

Yao Ye: "I think it won't be long before Yun Shan brings people back again, so Mittel won't be so lucky next time."

Qian Ye: "Yeah, that's true."

"Indeed, since they dare to make a move on you, we can no longer help them. So, as soon as it's light tomorrow, we'll leave here and return to the palace." Yao Ye said, clenching her fist. She didn't want Consort Ya Fei to get close to Qian Ye and make a move on him, which was why she wanted to take Qian Ye away from here as soon as possible.

Moreover, she didn't want Qian Ye to take the risk of Yun Shan's arrival.

Although Qian Ye was Nine-Star Dou Zong, she knew that Mist Yun Sect had more than just Yun Shan, a Three-Star Dou Zong, and that the Hall of Souls Protector was causing trouble behind the scenes. She didn't want Qian Ye to sacrifice him to save the Mittel Clan.

The fact that she could think so much for Qian Ye is enough to show that she is wholeheartedly for his sake, and not just jealous of Ya Fei.

"Alright, let's set off tomorrow morning?" Qian Ye confirmed.

"Mmm." Yao Ye smiled brightly.

Then, Qian Ye escorted her back to her room.

Yao Ye had originally invited him into her room to talk some more, but he declined. ♨😂 😺ൠ

Waaaaah~

Just as Qian Ye was returning to her room, she suddenly heard crying coming from the backyard.

Judging from the voice, it sounds like a girl.

I don't know who it is.

I was initially too lazy to get involved in this, but since I had nothing else to do, I walked over there to see what was going on.

As he approached, he immediately saw a young girl in a blue dress sitting on the grass in the backyard, sobbing uncontrollably.

who is she?

Why is someone hiding here crying?

Qian Ye stroked his chin thoughtfully, then walked over to the girl, sat down, and lay down on the grass.

The girl in blue was about sixteen or seventeen years old. After crying for a while, she suddenly realized that there was someone next to her. She was startled at first, but after looking at the person next to her, she realized that he was a man in his twenties.

I looked him over but didn't recognize him. He's so handsome! Who is he? Why is he here?

The girl in green was completely puzzled, then gently nudged him. "Big brother, big brother?"

"I see, you are Xiao Mei's younger sister, Xiao Qing, right?" Qian Ye quickly realized that this girl was not only Xiao Clan, but also Xiao Mei's younger sister.

"You know me?" Xiao Qing asked curiously.

Qian Ye looked into the girl's eyes; her features did indeed bear a resemblance to Xiao Mei's. "No, I only know your sister, Xiao Mei."

"Sister, I heard she's at the Jia Nan Academy in the Black-Corner Region. I only saw you when I was little, and now I'm seventeen and all grown up, but I haven't seen you since. Is she alright?" Xiao Qing asked him with longing eyes.

Seeing her teary-eyed, Qian Ye couldn't bear it and took out a handkerchief for her. Xiao Qing took it and wiped her eyes, then held the handkerchief in her hand, thinking to herself, "I've already dirtied my older brother's handkerchief, I should wash it clean before returning it to him!"

"Great! You haven't seen her in so long, you don't know, she's grown up into a young lady."

"Ah~" Xiao Qing was shocked. She counted on her fingers and realized it made sense. "Yes, my sister is already over twenty. She's definitely a young lady now."

"By the way, why are you crying here all night all by yourself?"

"I... I miss my parents, but they're dead. They were killed by the Mist Yun Sect while trying to save us. I miss them, that's why I'm here crying."

I see!

Qian Ye seemed lost in thought, and Xiao Qing lay down beside him, her clear, large eyes gazing at the starry sky. "Big brother, I heard that after people die, they turn into a star in the sky. So after my parents died, they went to heaven and turned into two stars. Can they see me in the sky?"

"Yes!" Qian Ye was speechless. Stars were enormous beings; how could they possibly be transformed from human souls? This was just a folk tale; there was no such thing. He just didn't want to extinguish the little fantasy in Xiao Qing's heart and was protecting him.

Haha~

Hearing Qian Ye's words, Xiao Qing smiled happily, "I knew it. Although my parents have left this world, they have turned into stars and are watching over my sister and me in the sky."

Qian Ye: "..."

He could only remain silent.

He accepted her words.

"Big brother, can I ask you for a favor?" Xiao Qing suddenly said.

Qian Ye: "Tell me about it?"

Xiao Qing hesitated for a moment before blushing and saying, "Big brother, I want to go to the Jia Nan Academy in the Black-Corner Region to see my sister. You've been there before and met my sister. I think you used to be at the Jia Nan Academy too, right?"

"Yes, I also know your cousin Xiao Yu, and your cousins Xiao Ning and Xiao Yan are both at the Jia Nan Academy. I know them all."

Yes, he wasn't lying to himself; his Cousin Xiao Yu and the others were all at the Jia Nan Academy.

"So, big brother, could you take me to the Jia Nan Academy to see my sister when you have time?" Xiao Qing asked, looking at Qian Ye expectantly, hoping he would agree.

Looking at Xiao Qing's pleading little face, he didn't know what to say to her, "If you want to, you can do it now?"

"Now?" Xiao Qing glanced around, then smiled broadly and said, "Big brother, it's still late at night. I think we can set off tomorrow?"
