2507 Side Story 11: Untitled

Xiao Ba: “!!!”

The next moment, everyone’s gaze landed on her.

Xiao Ba took a deep breath and turned her neck stiffly to look at Yan Qing.

However, Yan Qing’s expression was magnanimous and calm. There was no fluctuation on his iceberg-like face.

It looked like he was really waiting for her to say it herself.

The corners of Xiao Ba’s mouth twitched. How can I say this!?

Originally, she had always wanted to find an opportunity to explain this matter to everyone and clarify that she had nothing to do with Yan Qing. Now that there was a chance and everyone was here, in the end—

The surrounding gazes were silent, but they carried an inexplicable pressure.

Xiao Ba forced a smile. “It’s… It’s me… I was careless… Hehe, it’s all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!”

Hua Shuangshuang hugged the little Wind-Stepping Tiger.

Si Jing’s hammer fell to the ground with a clang.

Qi Han narrowed his eyes and glanced at Yan Qing.

Yu Jiu staggered and almost threw the huge green sword on his shoulder.

This means that…

Shi Fang gasped. “Eighth Sister, you bit him!?”

Xiao Ba glared at him. Would he die if he shut his mouth?! Otherwise, he can lower his voice! Is he shouting so loudly because he’s afraid that others won’t know?

The few of them sized up the two of them with strange looks. It turns out that it was Xiao Ba who did it? Then, this—

“Ahem, it’s really not what you think!” Xiao Ba quickly explained. “It’s just that Yan Qing helped me apply medicine yesterday and was too ruthless. In a moment of anger, I—”

“Apply medicine?” Shi Fang’s gaze instantly landed on her waist.

They all knew that their Eighth Sister had hurt her waist. If these two really had nothing to do with each other, could they… do this?

One had to know that although Xiao Ba was charming and enchanting, and her every frown and smile was flirtatious… In fact, she was very distant from people she wasn’t close to.

Now, she was actually willing to let Yan Qing help…

Xiao Ba immediately shut up, feeling a headache coming on. Things seem to be getting worse…

At this moment, Cen Yi walked over from behind. His indifferent and long eyes first looked at Yan Qing and lingered on the red mark on his neck for a moment.

Yan Qing instantly tensed up.

The corners of Cen Yi’s lips curled up slightly. Then, he looked away and glanced at Xiao Ba, saying seriously, “Since it’s a misunderstanding, let’s get it out of the way,”

Xiao Ba instantly pounced over as if she had seen her family. “Big Brother, I knew you would believe me! I really didn’t do it on purpose yesterday!”

Cen Yi nodded, as if he didn’t care. “This was originally just a small matter. I don’t think the Left Divine General will hold it against you. When your injuries get better in a few days, refine some Clear Sugar Pills. Perhaps Master will want to eat them.”

Clear Sugar Pills weren’t a powerful pill, but they tasted sour and sweet. Xiao Ba had occasionally refined them as a snack in the past.

“Okay, okay, okay! I’ll go later!” Xiao Ba only wanted to leave this place now. She was extremely grateful for Cen Yi’s help.

Cen Yi nodded. “Although the Left Divine General is magnanimous and won’t make things difficult for you, in the future, such a mistake will still—”

“I promise I won’t do it again!” Xiao Ba replied smoothly.

Cen Yi seemed to agree. “That’s good. Among the Thirteen Yue Guards, only you, Shiyi, and Shi’er are the most precious. If there’s anything you like, just take it. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to.”

These words were quite straightforward, and even Xiao Ba was stunned for a moment.

“If there’s anything that annoys you, feel free to say it. We’ll help you.” At this point, Cen Yi looked at Yan Qing meaningfully.

Xiao Ba hesitated for a moment.

Although Yan Qing had lied to her previously, when she thought about it carefully, he had his reasons.

Initially, she was indeed very angry. But after hearing what Big Brother said, she felt that the mistakes Yan Qing had committed weren’t unforgivable…

If Big Brother and the others really joined forces, how could Yan Qing be a match for them?

She rolled her eyes and smiled at Cen Yi. “Thank you, Big Brother. I understand!”

However, after saying this, she didn’t mention anything else.

Cen Yi said, “Come with me. There are still some things that you need to deal with.”

Xiao Ba immediately agreed, and the two of them left.

After they left, the remaining people felt bored and dispersed. But when they left, they glanced at Yan Qing meaningfully.

Yan Qing’s sword-holding hand was slightly sweaty.

After a moment, he turned around and left.

…

Chu Liuyue stood by the window and watched this scene with interest.

It wasn’t until Yan Qing’s figure gradually disappeared that she retracted her gaze and looked at the man behind her with a faint smile. “Emperor, your people are indeed powerful. You want to trick our Xiao Ba without batting an eyelid?”

Previously, she had already felt that something was strange. After the life-and-death challenge, she had confirmed her guess.

It had always been Xiao Ba who had designs on others. Now, it was the other way around. The key was that she didn’t seem to realize what was going on this time.

Rong Xiu leaned against the couch and flipped through a book. Hearing this, he looked up, and a faint smile flashed across his lips. “How can it be considered a trick? He’s just telling the truth.”

Chu Liuyue sniggered. “With the Left Divine General’s strength, there’s no reason for that small injury to remain until today. This thought… seems to have been learned from you.”

Rong Xiu laughed ambiguously.
