I knew it.

Cui Twelve expected this to happen the moment Liu Qing kneeled down to beg Lin Ru to allow her to stay a while longer.

He knew that she would not come with him obediently.

It was time for him to step up as a big brother.

He flashed over to Liu Qings side and dragged her back.

I dont want to leave, no! I dont want to leave! Ye Zichen! Liu Qing cried her heart out. She struggled and struggled, but the hand holding her merely remained still like a prison cuff.

She doesnt want to leave, so why are you forcing her? Ye Zichen tried to reach out to pull Liu Qing back into his arms.

I will not take our relationship in mind if you take another step forward, Cui Twelve pushed Liu Qing behind him and threatened with a frown. At the same time, he continued to push Liu Qing back to get out of there.

I dont want to go

Liu Qing said that shes not leaving!

Ye Zichen felt something amiss from the very beginning. They have mentioned times up way too many times.

He wouldnt have stopped them if Liu Qing wanted to leave, but now that she was crying and sobbing and refusing to leave, he was not going to let her go.

If Liu Qing doesnt want to leave, then nobodys going to take her away, Ye Zichen glared at Cui Twelve.

He reached forward and tried to hold Liu Qings arm, but Cui Twelve knocked his arm away, then pushed Ye Zichen back.

Ive warned you once, Cui Twelve glared at Ye Zichen sullenly. He already chose to hold back without using too much spiritual energy.

Otherwise, with his strength of an Earth Supreme, Ye Zichen stood no chance at all.

Ugh Ye Zichen stopped trying to talk some sense into Cui Twelve. He was going to help Liu Qing stay.

As for Cui Twelves warning

As Ye Zichen swung his right fist forwards. Cui Twelve stumbled back and narrowly avoided the attack.

However, the force behind the punch still left a bloody mark on his face.

Meanwhile, Ye Zichen followed up after missing the first attack. His attackers became fiercer and fiercer. This only agitated Cui Twelve more when he had to dodge the attacks while stopping Liu Qing from running away

He could stand it no longer. He gathered up his spiritual energy and punched.

The moment he attacked, he realized it was too much. He shouldnt have done that.

He tried to soften the punch as much as he could, but even so

Bang.

Ye Zichen coughed up mouthfuls of blood.

Arent you looking down on me way too much!? Suddenly, Lin Ru burst out of nowhere in anger. She looked at Cui Twelve, who just threw a punch, murderously while Su Yan and Xia Keke stood beside her.

When the latter two saw what was going on, they immediately ran to Ye Zichens side.

Zichen.

Big Brother Zichen!

And almost simultaneously, Liu Qings eyes also opened wide as she shouted, Ye Zichen!

Cui Twelve looked at his fist in shock, then glanced at Ye Zichen, whos mouth was covered in blood.

Just what was I doing? I was just going to take Liu Qing away. Why did I punch him? I already hold back a bit, but

B-Brother Ye

Liu Qing took the chance of Cui Twelve in a daze to run back to Ye Zichens side.

Cui Twelve tried to walk over as well, but Lin Ru stopped him.

I knew you people wouldnt stay put. You really think nothing of this new Master of the Law by using the strength of an Earth Supreme here! It looks like I have to teach you a good lesson, with that, Lin Ru prepared to strike.

Lin Ru, leave it, Ye Zichen called out weakly.

Lin Ru stopped in confusion, then noticed Ye Zichen shake his head.

Then, Ye Zichen reached out to caress a strand of Liu Qings hair, If you dont want to leave, then stay.

I Liu Qing hesitated. Let me heal you first.

Around five minutes later, Liu Qing finally stabilized Ye Zichens condition.

Little Seventeen! Cui Twelve frowned.

Why are you urging her to leave all the time? She doesnt want to Ye Zichen glared at Cui Twelve murderously before turning to Liu Qing in anticipation.

He thought that she was going to stay, but Liu Qing had already stood up.

Her eyes were still filled with tears, but she seemed to have calmed down a little.

Sorry, I got you hurt. I dont want to leave and thats the truth, but I must.

Why?

Liu Qing merely smiled.

She turned around.

And walked off.

This time, she did not go back on her decision like before.

She silently walked beside Cui Twelve and nodded.

A rainbow bridge appeared on the mountain.

Lets go, Liu Qing looked back at Ye Zichen one last time. She could see the confusion and worries on his face.

It was true.

Ye Zichen was very confused, but he was sure that Liu Qing had her reasons.

Turning back earlier was just her impulsiveness. Now that she calmed down, she thought everything through.

All he could do now was send her off.

As Liu Qing got further and further away, she couldnt hold in her sorrows anymore. She almost broke down.

Yet for some reason, she started to forget why she was crying.

And soon

She stopped crying.

She merely looked tearfully at the man waving at them from underneath the bridge.

Wipe your tears, otherwise, His Majesty will think that I bullied you or something, Cui Twelve handed a handkerchief over.

Liu Qing tiled her head at Cui Twelve in confusion, Big Brother Twelve, why was I crying? It was so strange

Cui Twelve was startled for a moment, then quickly regained his composure with a smile, Did you forget about that really moving tale just now?

What tale? I dont recall anything, Liu Qing blinked.

Once upon a time, there was a girl

Cui Twelve told the story for an hour, but Liu Qings expression remained cold and emotionless.

I was crying because of that story? Liu Qing shook her head with a snort. Love? What a joke.

Cui Twelve shuddered when he heard the ice-cold tone.

After a while, he let out a long sigh, then patted Liu Qings head, Alright, lets leave it behind. Youve cried already, so there is no point of thinking about that anymore.

Thats true, Liu Qing shrugged with a smile. Then, she slightly frowned. Who was that person waving to us just now?

Him..? He is my friend!
