After dealing with Yang Yongchao, Qin Yao immediately went to comfort his sister. "Lan'er, be good. Don't be afraid."
In his memories, this was the first time his younger sister, Qin Lan, had witnessed life and death from such close range.
Qin Yao was deeply afraid that it would leave a shadow of terror in her heart. If it frightened her into falling ill, that would be truly troublesome...
