Chapter 67.3: Return Journey

At the last moment of parting, the tall man with his towering frame then slowly lowered himself to gently lean against the young lady's thin shoulder, and his habitually cold voice was tinged with an almost imperceptible gentleness.

"I had always felt that we will never part and that is why I have never asked before."

"But now, at the moment that we finally managed to meet after overcoming countless obstacles, I want to tell you, Little Yu, when there are only the two of us left here in this alien world, to me, the world that Qing Ye Li lives in needs you to exist, and only just you."

"You've said that you will never abandon so you will have to take full responsibility for your words."

It was not known from when that the man who was never good with words was capable of such warm and gentle words, with such thick endearment and love, just like that Jade Eyed Void Traversing Beast, who was only able to show such trust and sentimentality to its companions.

Qing Yu sighed as if she had not heard him, her fair slender fingers lifting up to rest on the back of the man's head lightly to pat him rea.s.suringly.

The entire convoy from the Water Edge Kingdom stared utterly flabbergasted at the scene before their eyes.

To think that their Duke who was always cold as ice and a man who never liked anyone to come close to him would have such a side to him. To be so reliant on a young lady like this, his body seemingly at such complete ease like they have never seen before, the icy aura fully absent.

To witness the scene of that tall and towering man leaning on the young lady, not only did they not feel any discomfort, it was in fact highly harmonious and soothing.

The tall and burly Chief of Guards then slipped over to come beside Ah Jin, and then asked slyly: "Who in the world is that young lady? That the Duke is being so intimate with her?"

Ah Jin rolled his eyes at the man. "Can't you tell when it's all so obvious?" [Are you a r.e.t.a.r.d! ?]

Of course Ah Jin had not spoken that out loud as all men were proud and loved to saving face.

No matter how reluctant he was, Qing Ye Li needed to go already. With the Water Edge Emperor in such poor health, he could not possibly wait too long.

The Water Edge Kingdom's convoy then slowly moved far into the distance.

Qing Yu stood in her spot outside the city for quite a while before she turned around to leave.

But right after she left, a person came walking out from within the shadows. In a flowing fairy like light green dress, her countenance peerlessly exquisite, cold as frosty snow, with a light pink flower on her forehead, which lent another tinge of glamour to that reserved and disciplined countenance.

This person was Yan Ning Luo.

She had seen the entire scenario that occurred earlier with her own eyes.

She had not forgotten Qing Ye Li's eyes that had been gentle as gentle waters. She would never have imagined that Qing Ye Li could ever turn to become someone so gentle and so approachable.

And all of this, had been because of one girl, Yan Qing Yu.

[Ha. They are really going to force her hand?]

A sinister glint then tainted those clear bright eyes and those beautifully manicured nails then scratched out five finger marks upon the tree bark beside her.

On her way back to the Eternal Peace Duke Manor, Qing Yu could not avoid having to pa.s.s the strategically located Gathered Cloud Loft.

And it was coincidentally at the very moment she was walking past the place that a mirthful male voice sounded out behind her. "Oh, what a coincidence. Rather than a proper invitation, isn't a chance encounter so much better?"

Qing Yu's steps halted and she came to a stop. In front of her was a man dressed in highly flamboyant red, the ends of his lips lifted in an enchanting smile, his narrow peach blossom eyes widened. "Young Master Qing, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

[Has this demon been waiting here specially just to snub her?]

Qing Yu was in no hurry to get away but just crossed her arms up. "You need something?"

"Can't we just have a casual chat? Aren't we already friends?" Bai Zhi Yan said disarmingly.

Without knowing why, seeing this fella always made her unconsciously think of this saying.

Unsolicited ingratiating flattery can only come from the wicked and thieves!
