"My lord!"
A clear, melodious voice answered, and two graceful figures appeared beside Chen Jue like phantoms.
"Stay here and protect Nana and the others. Nothing can happen to them, understand? I know where Zhu Zhuqing might be! I'm going to bring her back!"
Chen Jue's tone carried unquestionable resolve.

"So can I..."
A warm current welled up in Chen Jue's heart as he faced everyone's concern and worry.
He smiled faintly and gently shook his head.
