Xiao Yao nodded slightly, a tender look in his eyes as he softly asked, "What? Qing Lin, do you want to go to the Misty Cloud Sect with me?"

"Cousin Xiao Yu, don't worry. Once the Three-Year Pact is over, I'll drag Little Flame back to Jia Nan Academy. Then you can scold him however you like," Xiao Yao replied helplessly.
"Mm. With you there, that brat should be able to return safely. Even if the Misty Cloud Sect makes a move, you'll be able to protect him."
