"Little martial uncle, you really kept me waiting." Ma Xiaotao gazed at Ye Qing with a brooding look, flickers of fire occasionally flashing through her dark red eyes.
But Ye Qing frowned.
Something seemed a little off. He had clearly used his Corruption talent on Ma Xiaotao back then, turning her into his Chángguǐ. Why did she not show him any reverence, but instead cling to him like a roast chicken?
Had his ultimate talent malfunctioned?
That shouldn't be possible. If even an ultimate talent could malfunction, could it still be called an ultimate talent?
Ye Qing wasn't quite sure what to make of it. He looked down at Zhang Lexuan beside him, whose eyes were slightly narrowed as she exchanged looks with Ma Xiaotao. He decided to send his white moonlight away first, then deal with the roast chicken properly.
"Lexuan, you know about Xiaotao's Evil Fire. Last year, she could barely suppress it anymore, and it went out of control. That was precisely why senior brother asked me to help," Ye Qing explained.
"My Ultimate Light attribute can effectively clear the Evil Fire from her body, but curing it at the root takes a long time. I was away for half a year this time, and counting the time I spent in seclusion in the Golden Tree before that, it's been almost a whole year. Her Evil Fire has probably flared up again, which is why she's so desperate to find me."
Only after hearing Ye Qing's explanation did Zhang Lexuan understand why Ma Xiaotao had always paid attention to his whereabouts.
Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire problem was no secret in the Inner Court, and Zhang Lexuan naturally knew about it. She simply hadn't known it was this serious. After all, Yan Shaozhe wouldn't go around telling everyone
