Dongfang Minghui quickly collected herself. "Are you from the Blood Baleful Alliance?"
This time, it was Mo Ce's turn to be surprised.
Qian Wanyu had also heard from Wei Junlan that, while he had been in danger, someone named Mo Ce had tried to rescue him and later passed along his plea for help. In other words, he had known of them long before this. She tucked the Water-Thunder Whip back at her waist. "Would you mind taking off your shirt so I can have a look?"
Dongfang Minghui: "..."
Mo Ce instinctively took a step back. His expression remained calm; without looking closely, no one would have noticed his reddening ears.
He really was far too innocent.
"Um, ahem, Seventh Sister, how is Jing Kewei?" Dongfang Minghui deliberately blocked Qian Wanyu's view of Mo Ce. Although she knew Seventh Sister probably wanted to check the Elf Clan mark on his body, was it really appropriate to look at another man's naked body right in front of her?
A little jealous, Dongfang Minghui let her gaze wander, only to unexpectedly meet Jing Kewei's complicated look. He averted his eyes as though avoiding her.
"Jing Kewei."
"My lady."
Jing Kewei always treated Qian Wanyu with the utmost respect. He struggled to get up from the ground. "My lady, it's wonderful to see you again. This young lady is-?"
Dongfang Minghui suddenly remembered that, when she had spent time with Jing Kewei, she had still been tiny. The sealing's backlash force had yet to recede.
Qian Wanyu gave Jing Kewei a thoughtful look. "She is a friend of mine."
Jing Kewei studied Dongfang Minghui's face intently for a long while before saying hesitantly, "My lady, this young lady looks... very much like the little physician. Why isn't the little physician with you?"
